Eva "All," he shrugged and my mind went into a crazy spiral. I have been believing a lie all these years? Believing that my birth Mother didn't want me. Believing that even her family despised and hated me. All those nights I spent crying when I saw my siblings with their Mother spending time together. Playing, Laughing, singing and even dancing. Or the times I would come and peep into the room where they all slept like a lovely family while I was left in my huge empty cold room all to myself. Times when I wanted to join them and I would be looked down on. Ignored like a stranger in a new land, avoided like a dangerous plague. How I would sit in one end of our huge sitting room and watch them laughing and spending time with each. The pains that struck my heart many times were unbearable. The thought that my own Mother didn't want me tearing my heart into pieces everytime I remembered it. Even Father's love I thought I could hang on to disappeared when I didn't get my Wolf, lea

Daniel "Your Majesty," The servants who were out for the evening, greets, bowing when I step out of the car. I smile and motion them to rise. I go to say something when Father's voice comes calling. "Son!" His familiar proud voice declared before his figure came into view. His short rough black hair danced in the wind as he paced towards where I stood, arms open wide as he approached and circled it around me. "I can't believe you made it!" He exclaims and I furrow my brows at him. "What do you mean by 'made it' Father? It's not like I came back from battle or something." I laugh hugging him back. He pulls away after a few seconds and says, "I think going to the werewolf territory and making it back in one piece is enough reason for me to be happy that my son is back." He says smiling. "It seems like my Father," I say, wrapping my right hand around his shoulders and we start walking towards the huge Mahogany front door. "Has forgotten who his Son is. Those werewolves are no matc

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Eva In pain, I looked over my shoulders to see the familiar face of the Senior healer of our kingdom who Nessa told me was not around to attend to the boy yesterday. "Let her go and I will attend to the boy," She said when she stepped into the room. I winced again as the Gamma female withdrew her claws from my skin and the Old Woman headed to the bedside. "Move away," she shewed the three healers and they gave way for her. She examined the boy within seconds and turned towards us. "What is the problem? The boy seems to be recovering and his heart beat is returning to normal. Whatever she gave him is obviously working." She informs the parents. I peek my head aside to see that his skin is fast becoming normal and a calmness washes over me. Thank goodness he made it. "But his body was all hot and flush and he was losing his breath a few minutes ago." One of the healers chipped in. The Old Woman hissed and sighed in annoyance. "Sometimes I wonder what they teach

Eva I quickly stood to make way for him but he walked past me to a seat beside Anisha. "Sit down, Eva." Father nudged me. "No one owns any position in this house except I say so." I hesitantly do as he says since Greg doesn't seem to care. I just hope he and Father are on good terms. "Eat," Father motions to me and I obey and begin to take a bite. "So tell me, Eva, why is your name echoing in the walls of this palace? What happened this morning?" He asks again. "I don't know, Father. I just helped a dying boy, that's all." Anisha scoffed at my words and Father sent a glare her way which actually surprised me. I don't really care about her actions though. "Just? Hmm," Father hummed, "I see…" he said as he went on to take another nibble from his stake and chewed. "I didn't know you were learning healing back in the woods with your Grandmother. Here I thought you were there wiling away your time with books as always. Who knew you could actually put that brain of yours to good u

Daniel "I don't think so princess," I teased, swiftly escaping her grasp for a few seconds and she insistently ran after me. "Hey!" She kept calling as I ran to escape her grasp. We were playing 'Who can catch who' for the only apple that was left in our picnic basket. I knew she liked red apples so I brought only one so I can make her fight me for it. "That's cheating!" She yelled in an out-of-breath tone as her steps slowly decreased. I just turned back and started teasing her. "Naa, you know your small legs couldn't have possibly caught up to my long ones, Princess. I pretended to lose but now I'm really giving you a good fight." She had stopped by now and her hands rested on her thighs as she took in desperate breaths. Her chest rising and falling in rhythm. Her tired face raised to face me. "Fine!" She said straightening up herself as she angrily started walking back to our picnic ground. I was still teasing her all through as I followed her leaving a good distance betwee
