It was getting cold so we walked inside. We were ascending the stairs as we saw Zackarya going towards the right section where only two rooms were present. One was my previous cage and one was my current one. "I knew he wouldn't listen to me?" Mana seethed angrily as I bit my lower lip thinking he was about to get scolded by his grandmother. I wanted to witness that but she stopped me. "Stay here. He isn't allowed to see you." She said as I stood beneath the stairs where I could get a slight glimpse of him. "Yes mister where are you going?" She asked raising her stick in the air while pointing towards him. I saw him stiff for a second when he turned around keeping the straight face but his eyes were evident that he was doing something that he shouldn't."I had to take some papers from my room." He said as he wasn't looking like the cruel and ruthless King anymore. "Papers?" Mana raised her eyebrow asking him in a challenging tone making him shook his head more confidently. "Lier!

The moment I felt the heat enough to make me go insane I found him standing far across the Hall with some of his advisors. He wasn't wearing any mask unlike others. I felt his jaw clenched as it was twitched from one side. His gaze was on my hand that was on Vermin's elbow as it was travelling from me then his face. I feared for Vermin at that time. He didn't know how much Zackarya hated to lose. My spine wasn't stable as electric shocks were running up and down were making me hard to stand on my legs as when I was about to remove my hand from Vermin’s elbow Mana appeared from nowhere. "Don't. Stick to him for the rest of the night and let me enjoy the show." When I first met Mana I thought she would be the grumpiest person with short tempered and dry personality. More dry than Oren but she crushed my expectation into pieces because she was the one who used to extract fun from different scenarios. She was finding this funny that Vermin's life was in danger just because my hand was

My heart was heavy as I could hold its load anymore. I was too weak to walk with a heavy heart with crumbled pieces of some small feeling that few people called hope and some called expectations. I didn't expect to happen that to me exactly but I hoped for something to happen that could make me feel loved. Not lust, not fear, not greed juts love.I didn't go inside the Hall as I wasn't even breathing properly out in the fresh air then how could be able to breathe among the crowd. My cheeks were wet as I didn't care to wipe them. Instead of them I decided to feel the slaps of cold breeze against my cheeks as if saying that stop it now. Stop crying and do something for your self-respect. Why you girls always sacrifice your self-respect for someone who doesn't even love you like you deserve and you never make sacrifices for them who truly loves you? Why you always run behind those who don't show interest in you but don't those who are already behind you? You just have to do one thing an

He didn't expect that. He never expected that as he felt his whole world froze for a second and he was the only one alone moving and feeling things that were ready to crush him down even if they weigh nothing for him because he was ready to be crushed. The soldiers at the back gate explained everything to him as he looked at the dark path that was opening into the dark forest that opened into the village. Wasn't she scared of dark?His conscience mocked as many questions were swirling inside his head although his face was extremely serious devoid of any emotion of anger and resentment. Little did everybody know that a storm was whirling inside that calm posture for his? No she was more scared for you. His inner voice spoke as he got to know in the previous days that he had any inner voice that only participated in the matters related to his kitten. "Should we go after her sir?" One of the soldiers asked as he diverted his eyes from that dark path of which end couldn't be seen. S

"I-I am just furious that our work got wasted. We were working for almost a month. We almost did the three months worth of work in just a month" He gave a reason but they were still looking at him with scanning eyes and he was getting uncomfortable when Zackarya straightened a little bit to move towards him and he abruptly jumped back when he finally admitted what was the real reason of or his sudden outburst. "Fine..." He groaned and Zackarya folded his arms to listen to him keenly. "Celine, my mate, she...she is pregnant." Conner blurted out. "I want to be with her when she conceives." He explained as all of their faces lightened immediately. "HELL YOU F**KER!" Kaz exclaimed while punching him in the stomach. Ouch!"Congratulations! Why didn't you tell us before?" The next one was General as Conner smiled while hugging him. The next one to hug him was Zackarya as he smiled brightly after two whole days after hearing this good news from him. They all were happy for him.Conner lov
