Ophelia“… long live her majesty!” The chants grew faint as Laura and left on our horses. My heart fluttered the whole ride home and I kept repeating the chants in my head even as we arrived at the palace.“Take the horses Laura, and please I won’t be having lunch in the dining room. Bring it up to my room instead because I need some time to go through a few books and do some personal training before my next meeting with Zelda..” I ordered and Laura left immediately.I skipped back into the palace, moving through the halls with a broad smile on my face. As I got to my room, I made sure no one was in the hall before I pushed it open and went in.“Hey..” my voice trailed off as I stared at Alric and the book in his hand. My face flushed instantly as I read the cover and realized it was one of the books I picked from the library to keep myself busy when I wasn’t reading wolf geologies and who’s ancestor was extinct.“I see you have good taste in books..” Alric teased as he flipped the pa

OpheliaAs the carriage pulled to a halt, Laura and I darted into the store. Dresses were displayed behind the windows, on every rack and on every shelf hung the most beautiful dresses I’d ever seen.Laced silk, embroidered silk velvet, fine wools with the glossiest pearls my eyes had ever seen. Each fabric caught my attention and I couldn’t decide whether I wanted just one, or one of each.A gasp escaped my parted lips as Laura pointed at different patterns and colors.“My lady…” a lady in her forties stepped forward. Her beautiful eyes smiled at me warmly and I smiled right back.“You must be the modiste?” I asked and she swayed her hips.“The one and only..” her French accent slipped and Laura and I giggled.“I see you’re here for the best dresses, I mean anyone who steps into this place only leaves with the very best pieces. So have no fear, madame Celine has got you covered…” I glanced at Laura.“This way, my lady..” Celine ordered and led the way. Laura and I followed her throug

OpheliaIncense burned in my room as the maids adorned me with the royal regalia. I sat in front of the mirror and watched my transformation. Laura placed the crown on my head and I barely recognized myself.“You’re ready..” she muttered and the maids stepped aside. I stood, looked at myself one more time and walked out of the door.The hall fell silent as I descended the flight of stairs. I could hear the whispers, the mumblings and every other little clatter in the back. I watched my steps, carefully climbing down each step to avoid tripping in the presence of this multitude.“Long live her majesty!” Everyone chorused, slightly bowing their heads. I smiled and scanned the room carefully. All the heads were low, except Ulric and Valerie. I expected that so it didn’t bother me at all.“You may rise!” I ordered and stepped forward, but Ulric’s heavy footsteps halted me.“Where is his majesty?” He barked loudly. Loud enough for even the birds outside to hear.“We demand to know the wher

OpheliaHarsh wind surged into the hall, sweeping everyone to the corner. Lightning bolts struck, scattering silver lines on the dark sky. Thunder clapped loudly as the door flew off its hinges.Through the dark night, a tall figure slowly walked into the hall, shirtless. My lips quivered as I stared at the man I shared a bed with..He looked nothing like he did when we were together and I felt Cassius’s grip on my arm loosening.“Alric..” I muttered as he stepped into the light. His chest was covered in fresh bleeding scars that steamed as his body healed itself. He glistened under the flickering light as water dripped from his head to the rest of his body.Alric stood tall, like a greek hod carved from the frozen tundra of the far north. His eyes swept through the hall, dark and fierce. His once amber eyes now blazed like sacred molten gold.Ulric quickly pulled Valerie out of the way, hiding in the midst of the other werewolves as everyone struggled to stay as silent as possible.T

OpheliaSacred candles were lit.. incense filled the air, servants moved hurriedly to the altar like they had rehearsed their steps before.Alric turned to me, his eyes blazing like fire as he held out his hand and walked me to the sacred ground. Everyone else followed behind and before we got there and as we approached the sacred ground, the air smelled heavily of ozone and ancient pines.Sura sat at the foot of the altar, her head low and her arms stretched out but her legs stayed folded under her dress.Blood dripped from her left palm as she muttered inaudible words. Everyone finally gathered and silence took over. Even the trees stopped moving, like they were listening attentively.Then Sura’s voice broke forth with a loud shrill, breaking the deafening silence. She hummed an ancient song, her loud voice breaking through the thin veil that separated the physical world from the realm beyond.Alric slowly stepped forward, standing before the altar with his back facing it while his
