Was he kidding? I thought. I was still unable to believe that one of our guards was here without coming with us. What could he be doing here and for what reason could he have come here? "What are you doing here?" I had to asked the guard who did not even look up at my eyes for once. I pulled out my arm, placed it under his jaw and raised his head to look into my eyes. "Speak out.. What are you doing here? How did you get here?" "Your Highness... I don't know why I feel he has come here with a hidden agenda, he would have spoken up if he has a something reasonable to say. Let me check this first." O'Horan said, fumbling with the paper he had picked up while he tried to unfold them. The guard seemed to be very uncomfortable, his reaction was suspicious but I refused to believe that he had come here with a hidden agenda. "Your Highness, my parents live here so I have come to pay them a visit. They have sent a letter to my older brother, that is what is written in the paper

"Casey we have to leave from here as soon as possible, if there is anything necessary you need to pack along with you, please do... We just have leave from here in the next five minutes." Alvans said quickly and worriedly and he was gone after that. I and Nanna looked at each other confused as we didn't know what was happening. Why could it be so important for us to leave from here as soon as possible? "You have to go pack your things as he said, he must have his own reason." Nanna told me. "That was to hasty Nanna. He can at least explain to me why we have to leave... I have to admit that I am very scared right now. The expression on his face didn't tell any good." I embraced her. Really, I was scared. Something bad was happening and that was why Alvans wants us to leave from here as soon as we can. I went to my room and went to pack all the things I needed. "Nanna, we have to leave now, are you also set? Alvans must be waiting for us outside." "No! I am not co

"We can't lose Casey just like that. I don't know who had hit a plank on my head and made me fall unconscious but whoever that was, I will make sure I find him." Johannes had been so restless since the day he returned from the green town. He was not able to believe that be was defeated. He could remember he was so close to Casey, he was about to touch her, feel her and perceive her scent when he was hit and fall unconscious. "You still need to calm down. I asked the whole town if they knew that Alpha who had Casey with him but no one seemed to know who he was. There is definitely something wrong somewhere because the soldiers mentioned Alpha Alvans and no one knew who he was." O'Horan tried to pacify the king but he was not pacified. He was already strategizing a new way to get Casey. Casey had come to meet him meaning she still loved him but yet, did that mean that she didn't leave here on her own accord? Casey was so down to the earth, she couldn't do that. The king paced b

Imara bit a lips, drawing back slowly as she caught a fistful of her dress. She looked skeptically at O'Horan whose mouth was still widely opened as he stared. "What am I seeing right now?" He inquired, gazing skeptically at Imara. Imara wanted to try keeping her smiling face maintained but she was still feeling apprehensive and that was number one thing that was making it difficult to act like everything was normal. "What exactly is going on here?" O'Horan asked again. "Actually... I can explain." "What exactly can you explain? Why is everywhere scattered? Why are these hays not arranged the way they were?" He almost yelled like a father scolding his daughter reluctantly. "I was going to tell you because I know that only you can help me out. You know that beautiful diamond necklace his Highness gifted me on my birthday? I can't seem to find it, and I guess it's missing somewhere. The king shouldn't know about this because he will be very upset." Imara said, blinking as

     I felt so lonely. I felt as if I am the only person on earth at the moment. My life had suddenly turned tragic without my nanna. Was this how death really take people away without even asking for permission? If he wanted to take someone from me, why would it be my nanna? Was I the one who offended him or nanna herself? Whichever way it was, he could have just asked for my own opinion, I would have offered myself to save my nanna. My nanna never deserved death, so why? Zaila had been with me since my mother died, it is, since forever. My mother died in childbirth.     I sat there on the bed, tears dropping from my eyes freely without me trying to stop it. Even if I tried to, I wouldn't be able to control the tears. I asked everyone to leave me alone in the room. I still couldn't believe that it was Johannes who hurt me like this. I didn't know he was as cruel as this. My eyes were red and swollen but I didn't car
