- Franklin -"Can you trust me with this, Giselle?" I tried to convince her for the umpteenth time."Why don't you just go ahead and do whatever you want to do?" She replied. "Why are you even asking me? Why does my opinion even count?""Because you are my wife!" I said with a harsh whisper. "And if you are not happy about something I cannot go ahead and do it.""Really?" She said with a gasp and mock shock. "So why are you trying to convince me out of my feelings?""I care about your feelings, and I respect them, but I am also trying to communicate how I feel in the best way. I cannot just decide not to attend the meeting with no tangible reason, and you know this is not just any kind of meeting."She sighed and her face folded sadly."Now, you are making me feel selfish because I don't want you to go, but the thing is, I just don't feel right about this. I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave me."I cup her face in my hands."If I had my way, I would take you along everyw

- Frederick -Tonight is the night we meet up with the leaders of our allies and finalise everything. Tonight was also the night to finish touch up with the preparation towards the event and of course, I was a core person on the field.But one was more important to me and I had to be there. I was able to excuse myself and leave when no one was noticing.I covered myself in railen that disguised my personality and groped in the darkness towards the secret place we were meeting.Not long after I had gotten to the woods, I had a feeling someone was after me. I brushed it off at first, thinking my brain was just making up stuff.But the feeling was persistent, and now I could literally hear the footsteps faintly behind me. I have to do something about this.Someone must have gotten suspicious of me and followed me. I did not know who it was and what exactly his or her deal would be but I knew I had to,  by all means, lose them.

- Giselle -We all sat in the dining. Franklin, Father, Xavier, Kira, Christine, Cleopatra and myself. This is supposed to be my family, or they are, so we ate like one big happy... family.The air around was thick with the upcoming event of Franklin's possible promotion as a Lord. We were silent for a while before Cleopatra broke the silence."So how do you feel about your nomination?" She asked Franklin and he shrugged."I don't know what to think. Maybe we wait till they have selected someone," he replied."You think you have a chance?" She asked again."Again, I cannot tell. Let's just wait till they announce it," he replied casually."There are more chances that he would be the elected one," Father chipped in. "I mean, we all know Franklin well and all he's achieved as an alpha. I don't think the other nominees can stand a chance against him.""Rumours are going around that debunk that," Xavier said nonchal

- Giselle -I jumped forward to the cradle and she moved away from it. My babies were still there and breathing fine."What's with you?" She eyed me. "You left your babies in here without anyone, and they were crying so much I had to come to check them.""I uh..." I swallowed hard and looked at her. "Well, I am sorry. I...I thought-"You thought what?" She cut in. "That I am trying to hurt your children? I may not like you, but I love my brother, and I am not going to do anything to his children. I see you don't know anything about taking care of babies. You're a reckless mother. But I can help you.""I was going up and rushing down to check on them," I said, pissed with what she said. "And I don't need any help with them.""Don't be silly," she scowled. "Your husband, my brother, already said I should help you around here in his absence and you heard him. You need all the help you can get. I understand it's your first time.""Thank you so much for your help, Cleopatra. I will let you

- Franklin -Thankfully, it wasn't her husband but Durelo and Beta of her pack."Greetings my lady, greetings alpha," he addressed us with a bow and turned to the princess. "Your father sends for you.""Tell him I will be right there," she said."Okay," Durelo replied but his eyes were looking in my direction. It seemed he had something he wanted to tell me but did not know how to.His eyes lingered for a little too long than usual and I sensed something was amiss. I wanted to call him back so I could ask him if everything was okay but the soft touch of Sia's hand on mine distracted me."I have to go now," she said. "Please, make sure to go to sleep as well. I will see you tomorrow."When she left, Durelo had disappeared into the darkness. I decided to return to the room but I could not get the scene of Durelo's look off my mind.I changed my mind and decided to find him. He must have a reason for looking at me
