Sabrina. The world seemed to freeze around me as I made my way towards the stage. The afternoon wind gently fanned my skin, ruffling my hair in a comforting gesture, and a wave of serenity washed over me, filling me with a layer of composure, the only thing that I was armed with amidst the storm swirling around me. Despite the uncertainty that clung to my gut like a second layer though, my movements were firm and steady, and I looked like nothing could put me down, not even the impending doom wrapped in the form of my father. And as I came to the vicinity, surprised gasps seeped through the air, followed by looks sharpened by curiosity and intrigue. They had only heard the fifth contestant being called out. They hadn't known that their Luna, Luna Sabrina was among the candidates eying the Lead warrior's position. Yes. The news of my participation had been kept under wraps, and I knew why. My godparents must have considered leaving a way out for me in case I decided

Sabrina " You ....you..." His eyes were coated with disbelief and shame as he looked at me. It was like he couldn't believe that I had dared to attack him. But why wouldn't I? " You sneaky little b*ch!" He spat, as he staggered backwards and I effortlessly removed the dagger from his belly. " Sneaky?" I cocked my brows as I questioned, a hint of provocation evident on my face. " Those are baseless accusations, warrior Fords. If anyone is good at throwing sneaky attacks, that person should be you. I learnt from the best." I taunted, circling him, waiting for an opportune time to attack. Yes, I drove my dagger into his belly, but that was not enough to overpower him. Werewolf's recovery abilities were strong, and without a doubt, the wound was slowly closing in. It wouldn't be long before he lunged an attack my way, but this time, I would be prepared. He had already injured me twice. Another injury and things would start looking ugly for me. Blood loss wasn't a

Sabrina. Lost in my thoughts, I wandered off from the competition arena all the way to the restricted Lake. The place where Rhys and I used to spend most of our time. Back when our hearts used to beat in sync, pumped by love and quiet devotion. Looking at that familiar space, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, and I fell into a daze. Everything was still the same. The serene and clear waters, the beautiful trees that surrounded it, and the feeling that it gave, and yet, something was very different about the feeling that the space evoked in my heart. I was used to feel at peace, settled, whenever I came there, but sadly, at that particular day, I felt restless as I gazed down at the gentle waves that once spoke to my soul, and I became even more sad when I recalled the countless promises that Rhys and I had whispered over the waters, our voices echoing in the silence that surrounded the lake. My heart shook with grief as I took one last look at the vast lake, bef

Sabrina. "Can we talk first?" I asked, and they nodded in unison, giving me a go-ahead, but before I could open my mouth, my mother-in-law started talking and I could only shut my mouth and listen. " Sabrina? I know that these few months haven't been kind to you " She started, guilt painting her face. " I also know that Rhys has been unkind to you. That idiot has totally gone blind. I..." She hesitated, swallowing hard. " I only hope that by the time he opens his eyes, it won't be too late." " It's just that you have been a constant in my life. The cute little daughter that I have been secretly wishing would become my daughter-in-law. " " Do you know how relieved I was when I learned that you were the bride instead? My wish was finally coming true." She went on, a flicker of sadness glazing her eyes. " I knew that you and Rhys hated each other. I also knew that what he did back then broke your heart, but I selfishly allowed you two to wed. Fate had reunited you

Sabrina. " Her disappearance had caused an uproar in the kingdom. " " So, we were not only mourning your father's death, but your mother's as well." " After several months of not finding her, we started losing hope." She added, solemnly. "It was not until four months later that we saw your mother. She looked nothing like the Yelena we all knew." " If she hadn't presented solid evidence, we wouldn't have believed it even if she told us she was Yelena. " " She had looked nothing like the bubbly girl that we once knew. It was like she had transformed into a different person altogether. At that time, her belly was showing. She had dyed her hair black, erasing all the traces of the werewolf royalty in her." She whispered the last part, only meant for my ears and confusion framed my features. "She used to have a carefree personality, full of life, full of energy and the sight of the Yelena before us, the one that grief had reduced her into, it was heartbreaking. " "
