The Slayer The Questions (part iii)
"Why did you tell him?" I questioned right after slamming the room of his chambers open. Startl5 he looked up to me, his hands freezing in mid of turning a page of the book of his lap.. "What did I tell to whom, my child?" He asked back in confusion. I huffed out an annoyed breath. "I don't have the time for your mimic innocence, high priest. Last night the king confronted me, asking me if I was his mate." His eyes broadened visibly at my statement. "He could have done that the other day when I came. But he only did that after you called me his mate. So, you must be the one to fill his ears." I accused him. He shook his head and walked towards the window, his back to me. "I can swear upon the goddess I didn't say anything to him. And why would I when I myself don't want him to know that?" He asked as he faced me again."And why don't you want him to know?" I asked frowning my eye brows in suspicion. "There are a lot of things here you don't know." He replied. "I have plenty of ti
The Slayer The Strength
I knocked twice on the heavy cherry wood door waiting for a response. Tension coiled in my stomach urging me to take deep breaths. I wondered if it was the mate bond prickling my skin or was it just the nerves. Everytime I was in his proximity I feared that this time, I might be exposed.A muffled 'come in' sounded halting my thoughts. The words were so soft they were barely audible, but my heightened hearing picked it up. Ignoring the heavy feeling in my stomach and my wolf's excitedly wagging tail, I entered the room. I loved my wolf, but when she acted like this around him, it irritated me.The high ceiling room was covered in golden and dark blue colours. The giant sized bed was placed against the wall in the middle with a huge spacious balcony to let plenty of sunlight in. A room well made for a King. "I said you can come in." He barked. I may not be the person with the best etiquettes, but sometimes I wished I could smack him in the face to teach him some manners. Cursing and
The Slayer The Heat
My whole being was on fire. Fire that threatened to melt my skin and burn my bones to ashes. With a loud gasp I sat up looking out for my surroundings. Everything was dark and perfectly fine but my body still felt like molten lava was poured over me and there was a low pain in my abdomen that promised to be more tormenting as the time passed. I fumbled in the dark for the water on my bedside. I took large gulps of chilled water and laid back. The pain never subsided, it only became more vigorous causing me to let out painful whimpers. I didn't know whatever was happening, I couldn't even lift my fingers from the exhaustion.Wriggling and thrashing, I didn't even realise when the first ray of morning's sun peeped into my room or when the doors flew open. Someone called my name frantically and came to my side touching my arms and forehead. I tried to calm my breathing and focused on the voice. "What happened Seraphina? Are you hurt? I'll help, tell me!" Adelia. "A-adel, it-it burns."
The Slayer The Spar
"You will see." He said before opening the door with a creak and stepped inside, leaving me to follow. One foot inside, and the air heavily filled with the scent of jasmine and roses hit me right in the face. The room was as huge as a ballroom, covered with thick vines on glass windows everywhere. Vines of roses hung from the ceiling, entangled with jasmines like curtains. The place was so beautiful it seemed to be enchanted. "Do you like it?" The Alpha king asked from my right. "Yes. But what is this? What do you do here? And why are there only roses and jasmine?" I asked, not being able to stop the questions from flowing. An amused smile danced on his lips. "Full of questions, are we?" My cheeks flushed from his teasing just like the roses in the room. "I apologise.""You should never apologise for your curiosity. Questions are what offer you knowledge." He said and I just nodded. "A couple of weeks ago I arranged this greenhouse. This place is somewhere I come to seek peace,
The Slayer The Best Friend
ALPHA KING ELRICKI had been exceptionally calm these past few days. The lack of discipline in the juvenile trainees didn't irritate me. My beta pulling me to overlook matters like what will be cooked tonight, didn't irk me. Sky looked a little more blue these days and the chirping of birds sounded somehow sweeter.If I had to tell the reason for all of that, I could only think of one name. Seraphina. Since the day in the greenhouse, she had got my attention solely on her. That day, when she didn't come down even for once, I was restless from inside. I wanted to confirm that everything was fine. Maybe, it was the fact that she resembled my mate, or that If I ever wanted to have a mate, I would want it to be her. Since her first day here her strength, her confidence, the way she looked dead at me in the eye when she talked to me, had me attracted to her. Not just my body, but my mind, heart and soul.I didn't intend to take her to the greenhouse because that was a place I made for my
The Slayer The Talk At The Lake
The sun was high in the sky, spreading it's warmth like a cloak to the earth. A few puffy, white stranded clouds roamed here and there creating momentarily shade over the treetops, making it a perfect weather to wander into the woods. The chestnut brown horse neighed beside me nudging at my side seeking attention. The poor thing thought that we were ignoring him.I thrusted my fingers into his long mane and rubbed, tugging him along with his rein in my hand. The princess didn't really need to bring him along because she was walking with us, either way. Now, he was accompanying us only to satisfy the royal protocols. The loud cackling of the trio with me echoed in the forest and I focused my attention on them."What is so humorous there to scare away all the birds here with your laugh?" I teased them. Once again laughing, Genis chose to answer me. "Once, a few months ago, we were going to the town, you see. You know, secretly. And then a huge army of monkeys was sitting there in the
The Slayer The Revelation
Throwing the doors open of the high priest's chamber, I barged straight in and found him perched on a rocking chair with an old book in his hands. The whole place was illuminated by the rays of the setting sun coming through the window. "What are you here for, my child? Well, you did come at the right time, I was thinking about summoni-" I couldn't suppress my impatience so I halted his sentence."Why didn't you tell me?" I exclaimed and his face scrunched up in utter confusion. "I know that the King is going to reject me. But why did you not tell me about this? I want to know everything." I said, this time more calmly.Realisation hit him and he relaxed into his chair. "well then," he drawled and pointed to a chair beside the bed for me to sit. "About 20 years ago, I had a dream or, more suitably, a vision. I saw you in it. That was where I first saw you, actually. You were fighting. In some glimpses it was with others and in some, it was with the King himself." He paused and looked
The Slayer The Confession
Dust filled my nostrils causing me to cough violently and I dropped the book on the table to rush to the wide open window. calming my lungs with deep and slow breaths of clean air I went back to the sitting area. I sat down on the same spot as the King sat last time when we both were here. The memory was still fresh in my mind when he had asked for my permission to touch me.Now that I looked back to it, was he trying to find me to kill me and get done with it? Goddess, why did anything I thought led me to that particular depressing thought? I massaged my forehead with my finger tips to try to relieve the oncoming headache. Last two nights, I didn't get much sleep hence the reason why my eyes were red rimmed and itchy.Covering my nose I lifted up the fourteenth book of the morning and started to read its contents. Most of the books here were so old, layers and layers of thick dust were coating them. Skimming my eyes through the pages of the book along with my index finger, I looked f
