Chapter 31
It's pouring rain outside, and we're drenched to the bone. We were in a dry but we'll lit cave in the woods. We found shelter in the ave, it was inviting. I shiver, teeth chattering. Derrick wraps his arms around me, trying to warm me up. I lean against him, seeking comfort in his embrace. The cave was empty, I was drenched to skin. All the cervices of my body were visible through my thin dress. My body looked glossed under the mysterious lights in the cave. My nipples were pointing out toward him. He looked away quickly and swallowed hard. He had saved me from the rain and brought me to shelter. I was cold. Awkwardly, I wrapped my hands across my chest to keep myself warm. I was shivering. The water on my hair ran down my back. There was an already lit fire in the cave. He held me close and wrapped his arms around me. The rain fell in wild torrents, there was a storm outside. “I'll take you back to the palace, you need to get dry.” He suggested. I shook my head negatively in tears.

DerrickThe strange lady cackled playfully. “Who do we have here?. Two lovers desecrating my cave althrough the night.” She said. “No we were not, we just came to seek shelter.” Gwen replied in smiles and ran to embrace her. I was lost, her eyes were on on me who was less concerned about her presence. “You must be the Dycan alpha.” She said taking gentle strides towards me as she stared at me in wonder. “You're just as arrogant as I presumed you'd be.” “No ma'am, he's not always like that.” Gwen said in my defense. “Wait outside child.” She instructed Gwen. “I have questions about the last time.” Gwen replied defiantly. “And I have no answers. “ “I don't recall what we talked about. Wait out for now.” She dismissed Gwen who was disatisfied. I had no idea what they were talking about, nor did I want to talk to me strange lady. “I'm sorry ma'am but I have no time to entertain you. We have to go.” I finally spoke up and made to lead Gwen by hand out of the cave.

Chapter 33
King LancelotA forest of pine trees stood tall and proud, their needles whispering in the wind. In the center of the clearing, a circle of foxes stood, their tails waving gently. In the very center of the circle, a throne sat, carved from the finest wood. On the throne, an ancient fox rested, his eyes closed in repose. The other foxes stood guard, their ears alert for any sign of danger. The scene was peaceful, yet there was a sense of anticipation in the air, as if something momentous was about to happen. “We seek the child, my king. We'll bring him to you as soon as we find him.” My messenger bowed in reverence. I stood up from my throne with much difficulty, and transformed into my original form. A fox with a long fiery tail. My gaze is focused on the horizon, where the sun is setting in a blaze of glory. I am old, and my time on this earth is drawing to a close. But I am a fox, and I know that when one life ends, another begins. I am content with what I have achieved, an

GwenWe were back like we had left. The tension between us on our way home was awkward. Memories from last night flashed in my head. I had to admit, pushing Derrick away was no longer about my fear of cheating on Simon. I had underlying fears I had refused to confront. But I also didn't want to embarrass myself, Derrick had no feelings for me. He'd be gone by tomorrow, and I'll be all on my own. I couldn't confront him about leaving, it'll be a slap on my pride. He was also a player, flirting with two girls last night at the inn proved it. I couldn't believe I was mad about being left behind. His kiss had sparked up flames in my body. I wanted him. I didn't care if I was being used, he was hott!!!. I quickly shook off my dirty thoughts. The thought of him leaving in twenty four hours made my throat dry. It quelled my desire. I wished he could stay with me forever. I wanted him to be mine. But he didn't care, he had no feelings for me. We quietly walked to the entrance of the castle,

GwenThe sun was beginning to fade away, the night drew close. I was helpless. His servants had served me food and water, but I left them untouched. I was too angry to have a bite. I wished I had listened to Derrick. But it was too late for regrets. I had to figure out what to do. Derrick would be leaving soon, and I had only few hours left before night fall. I sat helplessly on the ground and rest my head against the wall in despair. How could Simon do this to me? He was a maniac. He was trying to get an apology out of me like nothing had happened. I was fed up, I was tired of being used. Why am I so stupid? I asked myself. All the brainstorming got me exhausted pretty soon. I had a bigger challenge before me, and I had to confront it first. Leaving this place!. I was lost in my own world of thoughts when I had an unexpected visitor. It was Morgana. My chest tightened for a moment, I despised her very existence. She had a stupid sneer stamped on her face. H

GwenI couldn't describe the surprise I met when I opened my eyes. It had to be a dream, a huge joke. I squirmed uncomfortably and tried to wiggle free from the ropes I was bound with. My eyes met the queen's, her teasing eyes and sadistic smiles were evident. I looked around at where I was in confusion. I was in the throne room. How did I get here? I asked myself. Simon was seated on his throne, fist clenched. He could barely manage to subdue his anger. I was in Lycester and it was almost midnight. Derrick had left. The thought of it made me breakdown in tears. I had never been confused in my life as I was at that moment. I had managed to escape, no doubt. What was I doing back here? My eyes met Morgana's. She had a wicked and triumphant smile plastered on her face. Had she decieved me? How did she do it? How was I captured? Why was I still here? I had too many questions on my mind. The queen walked to where I knelt, tied up like I had done something wrong and was about to be jud

Chapter 37
GwenI was probably getting whisked off to Derrick's dungeon in Dycan. I almost went berserk spending a few hours in Simon's dungeon. I thought about the dungeons that awaited me. I tried to distract myself, to focus on anything else, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the dark, foreboding place. I knew it would be cold and damp, that there would be no light or fresh air. I tried to imagine what it would be like to be trapped there, to be separated from the outside world. The thought made me feel sick, and I had to fight back the urge to vomit. I was terrified, but I had to keep my composure, to stay strong. I felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me. Everything I thought I knew had been turned upside down, and I was left reeling. My head was spinning, and my heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest. How could I have been so blind, so oblivious? The betrayal was like a knife in my gut, and I didn't know how to process it. I was consumed by a whir

“Mad dog will be waiting for you at the gate, I'll meet you both at the city gates.”“You're not coming?.” I asked in panic.“I'll be right behind you.” “I have to take care of someone.” He replied and ran back in, leaving me alone. I quickly ran to where he told me mad dog will be waiting. But when I got to the gate, mad dog was nowhere to be seen. I began to run, I was scared I'd get captured. Derrick or Simon could not capture me, I had to make sure of that. My hearing sense heightened, someone was on my heels. A wolf was chasing me, she had managed to slip past Derrick. It was Amelia. I ran desperately down the moonlit path into the woods. But I was no match for her, she was faster. I knew she'd get me soon at this pace. Panicking, I ran for my life, my heart pounding in my chest. She was hot on my heels, her breath panting against my neck. I could feel her hot, fetid breath on my skin, and I could hear her claws scrabbling against the ground. I ran as fast a

Gwen“I’m very sorry for rejecting you back then.” “I made a mistake and I hope you see my sincererity.” I was taken aback by his action. I was surprised. “You know you don't mean it. “What have I done wrong?.” “I accept you don't like me, but you don't have to put me through all these. Rejecting me should have been enough for you.” “What are you talking about?.” He finally asked. “You've been swaying my feelings, I'm probably your play thing like those girls at the inn from the other night.” “Stop acting like you love me or you have any feelings for me when you clearly don't.” He didn't flinch, he silently watched me pour out my grievances. “For a moment I foolishly thought you did, but I had no idea you were here to whisk me off to some dungeon in Dycan.”The betrayal stung so bad. Tears welled up my eyes. I was foolish, I thought there was a spark between us. “I don't know what I may have done to you Derrick, but I promise never to show my face before you e

Chapter 40
The night made way for daylight. I and Gwen made our way to aunt Maya's. I sincerely hope mad dog had concluded the little exercise I had sent him. He and I were the only ones aware of the books existence. The third person who knew about it was my late father. Mad dog had sworn secrecy not to mention a word about that book to a single soul. Gwen could never know anything about it. I'd have to tell her myself. Knowing the truth would shatter whatever we have together. After a while, we got to aunt Maya's house. The place looked like a castle.Gwen's face lit up in excitement. Holding the hem of her dress, her eyes savoured the place in nostalgia. She took a deep breath of satisfaction. “It's just like I remember.” She said in smiles. Together we made our way in through the huge doors. I was happy she was happy, but I was still concerned about mad dog. Was he dead? Or perhaps did he run wild again? I had no idea what it was, but I can't let Gwen find out what my father did to
