141: The Seen

Elara Moonstone When I woke up, I was in a strange room. It was definitely different from the one that I remembered sharing with Luca. Immediately sitting up, the images of my last acts of consciousness filled my head as I looked around the room in desperation. "Easy, I'm here” Luca's voice came as a comforting tune when I nearly lost my sense of reasoning. He stepped beside me and sat down on the bed. “I'm worried about you Elara.” He said as he gathered me into his arms. “What happened Luca? I don't remember anything” I said and struggled to remember some of the events that had led to where I last remembered, which was walking out of the dance floor to the bathroom for a quick break.“Well, you showed up glowing and your hair was shining brightly. I had to take you out of the party and bring you to this room when they won't stop asking to see you” he started, his eyebags larger than sacks of flour. “Who?” I asked him. “Maera, Antonio, pero, the entire kingdom. They haven't stop

142: The Seer

Elara Moonstone When she walked in, I knew she was the one I had been told would come. It was so natural and real; her presence already gave me a sense of calm. "The woman who told you of my coming is Xera, your mother. She was the one who sent me here. Greetings, my queen" she greeted me, and our eyes met. I felt a flash of electricity surge through me, and I fought off the urge to shiver in reaction. "Who are you? You asked to see me." I asked her even though I already knew she was the one for me. "My name is Annabelle. I am the firstborn daughter of the great witch, Elysia. Her great works precede her, and I am sure if you do a little research, you will find out that things are really not as deep as you think they are. I am a seer, gifted from birth, but it was never something that I wanted to do. I know this might be too sudden, but a lot of time has been manipulated by the cursed one to not give you the time you need to prepare." She said, and I sat down. This was finally so

143: Dark, at the End of the Tunnel

Unknown"George!" I bellowed, my voice strained from the worry of the past few days. There has been a standstill in my plot in the last few days. George ran to the room I was in, his head bowed and his forehead a bit sweaty. I looked at him, my gaze sweeping his whole self. "Yes, I am here. You called me" he said and readjusted his stance. "I want you to contact Pero. Let him know that I want to contact him" I instructed, but George looked hesitant. "Is there any problem?" I asked him, getting up from my seat and making my way to the bar. "Yes...No, I mean no. It's not a problem, actually; it's just a little hitch in the plan." He answered. "And what is that?" I asked. "Pero, the man in question is now always in the company of the king or his cousin." He responded. "Who is the cousin?" I demanded, getting impatient as I still hadn't seen his perspective on what could be wrong. "His name is Antonio, and ever since I was displaced from my position, he has been the one running my

144: The Rumor

King Luca Elara was still sleeping when I stepped out of the steamy shower. Today felt better than most, so I knew that it was going to be a good day. Maybe it was the fact that Elara was going to get the help that she finally needed to realise her true self that made me so happy and relieved. Finding a seer has proven to be the hardest thing to do in the past few months and with each month that passes, it becomes even harder to hear of anyone. Like they had all gone into hiding. "Hey sleepy head" I kissed her on the forehead when I was finally done and ready to set out for the day. I had a busy schedule and didn't even know when I would be available for her until late at night. She roused from sleep, her eyes flicking open drowsily before she looked around and sat up. "Good morning baby. You have an early start today?" She asked me and I nodded my head. "Yes, I do. I have a meeting with the district council heads. They have been asking to see me since the gala but I had to wait u

145: A New Woman

Elara Moonstone Sweat dropped from my forehead as I collapsed on the floor, exhausted from my training today. Even though Zara had taught me the basics, it was only with Anna that I realized that she never really knew what to do with me. Anna has taught me how to channel my energy, not to control the anger that I always thought it was, but the raw, boiling need to be myself was consuming me. Today, we have achieved a lot, more than everything we have done together. "You should be pregnant in a few weeks; you must not tell anyone about the baby. Not even your husband or me. You will keep it a secret until its seventh week. I will give you a potion to drink, after which you can tell everyone. This is important, and the only power you have over your adversaries now is your privacy. Protect it, be brutal about it" Anna said in her usual fashion of appearing in front of me and startling me with her words. "What's the whole mood with everyone telling me to keep my life private?" I asked,

146: The Devil You Know

Elara Moonstone "You, come here" I beckoned to one of the palace servants as soon as we got in. He hurried to me, and I instructed him on what I wanted him to do. "Pick up this bag and take it to the room closest to my chambers. Make sure she is very comfortable and has one of the servants pay close attention to her, in case she needs any other things" I said, and the servant listened with rapt attention. "Yes, my queen" he said and led Maera up the stairs. "Thank you, baby girl" she said, and I smiled at her. "Stop thanking me, Maera. My home will always be open to you, especially when it involves childish men who don't know what they want. I have to quickly go and see the king now" I said and blew her a kiss before hurrying to Luca's study. When I pushed open the door, Luca was in his seat, but the look in his eyes told a different tale. It was as if his body was the only one present in the room while his mind had already traveled far beyond its walls."Luca?" I called, but he

147: A Queen's Flaw

Elara Moonstone "What is he talking about Luca?" I demanded, noticing there was no surprise on his face. "Elara, it is nothing you should worry about. We have a lot more to worry about." He said and Rowan cleared his throat and stood up. "I had informed Antonio earlier that I would be coming in today, and we agreed to meet so I will go and meet with him now. Thank you very much for your warm welcome and my pack will forever remain indebted to you." Rowan said and got up, leaving me alone with Luca. "It is not what you think, I already told you that I will take care of it. It's just a little misunderstanding and I have already started nipping it in the bud" he said but I knew that the District head elders were one of the most objective people and would not mind even impeaching the king if he didn't dance to their tune. "What do I think? Your people are plotting against me and you would rather not tell me?" I asked him and his face firmed up immediately. "They are our people now E

148: Who is Pero?

PeroI woke up with beads of sweat immediately rolling down my forehead. It would have been easier to deal with if this weren't the millionth time that I was having the same dream, just that it had seemed more real than the other times with me actually recognising those that I have been seeing for several years. It was Elara, instead of Luca on the throne, I was the one seated there and she was pregnant with our child. It had seemed like the most natural thing and for a brief moment, I closed my eyes and tried to shut it out of my head. It didn't go, it was only in vain. I got up from the bed and made my way to my kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water from my fridge and emptying the contents of the bottle in gulps. There was no way I would take over the leadership of the kingdom. I was neither a Lycan nor a member of any royal family here, so it was probably just a figment of my imagination. I kept wondering why it was Elara who was seated beside me and not Maera, since she was the wo

149: The Weight of Love

Antonio I made my way to Pero's house, upset that the king had disregarded me. It was not like it was their fault, considering that Pero and I have been involved in a scuffle involving a close ally of the queen. Now, I wanted to confront him and tell him that I knew the secret that he had been hiding. Someone was talking, and it was not Pero's voice that seeped into my ears, but rather an unusually familiar voice. I went close to the door and peeped through the peephole to see if I could make out the identity of the person, but I couldn't. I went to the back of the house to check if any windows were open, but just as I left, the front door opened. Furthermore, I rushed back, but only saw Pero looking around before shaking his head and going back inside. The voice I had heard stirred something inside me, something that scared me to the deepest part of me. My fists pounded on the door, and I brushed past him into the house when he opened the door. I looked around and drew a deep bre

150: Proven Unworthy

Elara Moonstone The next morning, I was awake before sunrise, perambulating around the room, my nerves falling apart. Luca had called for a general meeting of everyone, and I was going to address it. Even when I had said that I wanted to talk to them, I had yet to make up my mind on what to say to them. I also knew that I wanted to reassure them and tell them that everything was going to be okay. "Nervous? My Queen" Luca's arms circled me, and I felt warm from inside. "Why are you awake so early?" I asked him, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Because you are not close to me here. I was awake before you got up; I only pretended to be asleep to see what you wanted to do. Now, I know that you got up just to pace around the room and make me dizzy" he teased me and nibbled on my earlobe. "Stop, I have something important to do today, and you are already making me forget what I have made up my mind to say. Your people should better prepare to listen to the worst speech ever"
