Ten weeks more
The next three days seemed to pass by quickly for Roxanne. The coronation of the soon to be Alpha king was only few days away, so preparations had begun in full swing. There was never a dull or free moment for Roxanne. She was always dressed in black suit pants and white sleeves, her hair held up in a tight bun like the rest of the palace staff; even though she was particularly here for Lancelot. Peter had asked her to play along anyway, she did not want to get on the nerves of anyone here. So, she was always at Lancelot's side. And when she wasn't, she was running errands for him. Roxanne found it very stressful, especially as she wasn't really given a warm welcome from the other staff. Apart from Peter, it looked like no one else was interested in speaking to her. She was not welcomed into any conversation and whenever she happened to walk in on one, they would stop talking and glare at her with stony eyes. It seemed as though no one else besides Peter and Lancelot wanted her to

You Most certainly would
Ten weeks until she no longer had anything to do with Lancelot anymore. As she thought about it, pain clutched her chest with sharp claws. Roxanne was confused; while she did not want to leave him just yet, she felt like it was the best thing for her. Within her, Roxanne couldn't wait. And she was sure Emily could not wait to see her again. Roxanne heaved a sad and long sigh whenever she thought about her best friend. She missed Emily so much. So, whenever she could, Roxanne found her way to the palace's art gallery to admire the exquisite and grand artworks from the best artists around the world. Whenever she stood in there, in the midst of so many beautiful paintings and sculptures, she felt as though Emily was there, while imagining what her friend would have to say about the place. Although, Roxanne was aware typical Emily would have A LOT to say. It was for this same reason that she rushed to the gallery immediately it was time for her lunch break. She had two choices; si

I knew you wouldn't let me down
As she walked ahead of him, Roxanne could not help but wonder what it was that had made him sound so aggressive towards her. She raised her left arm and took a short glance at her leather wristwatch. Her break had only stolen ten minutes of her working hours. Surely, those ten minutes could not be enough to make him mad. But then, it was Lancelot, she thought. And everything made Lancelot Dankworth mad. Behind her, Lancelot's facial features has still not relaxed from the effect of seeing Reuben gush over her. It was plain irritating to see her eyes sparkle at him. Reuben, of all people. With his coy charm and cunning confidence. His cousin had no right to speak to his secretary, especially during working hours. "Go ahead Lancelot, convince yourself that that's the reason you're so pissed." Ziko whispered from within him. The taunting voice of his wolf only infuriated him the more. He frowned and looked down at Roxanne. "We're heading towards my study." He stated. Roxanne turned

She could only wonder
Walking down the corridor, Roxanne figured it would not hurt to wander about and take a look around. After all, she was free from now till whenever the emergency meeting with Lancelot's parents ended. But, where would she go that she had never been before? Working with Lancelot had caused her to explore almost all the public rooms in the palace. As she walked down the stairs, her eyes caught sight of a huge door. It blended with the wall so perfectly, you would not even know it was there if you didn't look closely. But, she had looked closely and found it. Now, Roxanne was very curious to know what was hidden behind it, or inside it. She quickened her steps down the stairs, and finally stood in front of the door. From all the boredom she had previously experienced, her heart rejoiced at the slight chance of an adventure. Roxanne placed her hand on the door knob and turned it. To her utmost joy, it was opened! She opened the door gently, and stepped in. When she did, she noticed

There's nothing to tell
Lancelot continued to stare at the door his parents had just walked out from. Still trying to make sense of all that they had said. Deep down, Lancelot knew that even if he spent the whole day in this study, trying to understand why they had not told him earlier, he still wouldn't get it. With that, he decided not to bother. The only thing that was worth his time now was preparing for the ordeals ahead of him. He turned towards his table and was about to settle into his chair, before his door opened. Lancelot groaned mentally, while thinking of what Madeline wanted to add to the list of shocking things she had said today. But, his frown dissolved lightly when he saw Butler Lee instead. Lancelot wanted to smile, but he was not met by Lee's usual wink. Instead, the man had an urgent and worried look on his face. Lancelot's brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed at the man, why did he look so scared? "Lee...""I am very sorry for barging in on you, your grace..." "Okay, but..." "You

Eloise's words of wisdom
Alas! The d-day finally arrived. Although, doctor Flynn's revelation had sparked up something new inside of him, Lancelot wasn't sure he was ready to let his feelings come out yet - not until he understood exactly what these feelings of turmoil within him were. He would make sense of everything when he is back from his expedition, he thought. Or before his coronation. Infact, whenever he got the chance, he would try to come face to face with these feelings and confront them, whatever it is they may be. Lancelot stood in front of his large dressing mirror, he watched a servant draw his suitcase out of the room. Peter had already called him to let him know that he was ready, alongside Roxanne. Now, all Lancelot had to do was go down to meet them. He took one last look at his black suit trousers, before the sound of his door opening stole his attention. Lancelot tore his gaze away from himself and rested it on the face by his door. His grandaunt, Eloise, stood there. Her arms folded

A love square?
Roxanne's scowl deepened at the thought. She tried to keep her face straight, but it was very difficult to do. When Ava tiptoed and placed a soft kiss on Lancelot's left cheek, Roxanne felt a dagger dive into her chest with brute force and dig her heart out from within it. The knot in her stomach tightened in irritation, and she wanted to turn away from them and vomit. As Ava's eyes danced over Lancelot with so much love, Roxanne could not help but envy her. Her eyelids stung with hot tears that she could not shed, and it hurt her a lot. Behind them, Eloise's eyes rolled from Roxanne to Lancelot and Ava. There was undoubtedly something brewing between the three... She caught sight of Reuben steadily approaching Roxanne. Her wolf's eyes narrowed at him. Oops! Did she say three? Make that four of them. A love square! How exciting. The sound of someone clearing his throat beside her, caused Roxanne to sniff in her tears and mentally smack all those thoughts out of her head. She turne

I want her
Lancelot walked through a short and dimly lit corridor behind the butler. He could only hope that Roxanne would adhere to his instuctions and stay at a place this time. He did not need her wandering into places she wasn't supposed to be, as she had done at his palace. Though he did not know the vampires well, he knew for a fact that he was not ready to make a scene while trying to rescue Roxanne from whatever trouble she might get into. As he continued in his line of thoughts, a black curtain was parted, revealing the magnificence of the throne room of the vampire king.Two maidens mounted the sides of the curtains, dressed in transparent black linen that allowed Lancelot see beyond the veil, to their bare bodies. He turned away sharply. His father had told him that the vampire king was a man whore, but he had not expected to be ushered in by half naked women. Lancelot was grateful for his expressionless face, it was how he was able to mask his disgust. Everything about the palace

The promiscuous vampire king
Like a witch, she summoned all his senses immediately she walked into the room. His nostrils grew restless, his blood boiled with anticipation. And, when he set his eyes on her, Aztec was not disappointed. In front of him, stood the most delicate and beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her eyes were the colour of lavender petals, her skin glowed and her face radiated. She was the kind of beauty you wanted to lock in a cage and stare at for hours. She was the kind of beauty you could not get enough of, and Aztec was trapped already. "Speaking of hobbies. Perhaps, I have found myself one." He spoke, when he finally stopped drooling over her. Both Aztec and Lancelot watched as Roxanne strolled in beside Peter.With every step she took, she saw more reasons to be scared of this place. So, she did not need anyone to tell her to cower beside Peter. If only she could hide in his shadow, she would have done so without second thought. Roxanne sighed with relief when she finally saw Lancelo

It most certainly is
Roxanne could only but curse the noise both inside and outside the palace for her inability to sleep at night. The eerie silence of the day when they arrived, was a sharp contrast from the hullabaloo of the night. It was almost as though everyone slept during the day and went about their daily activities at night, like nocturnal animals. And Roxanne found it extremely weird and very unpleasant. Guards walked outside the palace, the laughter of maidens could be heard and she was left to toss and turn and savour the little sleep she could get. It was bad enough that she spent most of her night listening to footsteps go to and fro her door, while she sat inside, hoping that she was safe. After her encounter with the strange king, Roxanne knew that she would have to be very wary of her movements in this palace. "Stick to my side at all times." Peter had said. Well, she would do just that. Now, the small sleep she had managed to get after hours of staring from ceiling to door to window
