Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN The morning light streamed in through the grand dining room windows, casting a soft golden glow over the table where the family gathered. The scent of fresh bread, honey, and fruit filled the air, mingling with the rich aroma of tea and coffee. I looked around, seeing the familiar faces of Ralph’s mother, his sisters, and a few relatives. It was a small number since the others were at war, but the presence of family gave me a sense of belonging. It has been a while since we gathered. We sat together in the rare quiet of the morning, a moment of peace I knew I would soon miss. I watched as everyone was busy with their breakfast, the small talks, the smiles exchanged, the little fights from Missy’s twins who sat across the table and Ralph’s mother scolding them but it didn’t always work. Ralph was still away at war. His absence, while heavy on my heart, gave me an odd sense of relief. It felt as though I could breathe easier, not having to explain myself or my plans. The family carrie

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEEN The wolves in the new found Pack were a representation of the fierce spirit that burned in their veins, and they were renowned for their strength and fierceness. The pack's territory buzzed with the beat of life deep within the forest, beneath a sky shattered with the first hints of dawn. The aroma of wood and the untamed undertones of magic filled the air. Only the strong lived in this harshly beautiful world, and the lone wolf at the head represented that strength.Lowell Conri was a man of mystery and power, his sharp eyes glinting with a quiet fury and an unspoken promise of vengeance. After the ordeal with his family few years ago, he has stayed hidden within the forest like a wounded wolf and built a new family with the pack, some of which came by looking for shelter, some came to serve willingly, some came to have an identity, while the others came from the Alpha pack to join him, all of which are loyal and faithful to him, he was indeed proud of what he built on his own.He wa

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEEN It’s been a few weeks practicing in my private chambers with Sybill, made countless mistakes but still I made so much progress and from her own words “You learnt so fast”. I can still feel the fast moving magic from my soul to my body, now I can effortlessly pronounce any spell and create masterminds in people’s heads. I feel like an old witch, and even though I feel like Sybill knows a lot more about me, she still doesn’t tell me, insisting I find out myself, this journey of self-discovery, I must embark on it as I feel the day closing in on me. Ralph being away for a week now in the war, my baby growing gradually inside me, in a few weeks it will start bulging out and more attention will be on me.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN Morning light filtered through the heavy curtains, casting gentle golden colors over Ralph's room.I awoke to the gentle rustling of my maid, Maria, who was busy preparing me for the day. Looking up to her beautiful smile as she prepared my bath, holding on to my towel“Good morning my lady” She bowed slowly, still with a smile etched on her lips Maria is one of the few people in this palace that I would miss so much when I leave, she has the purest soul, her voice, smile, hands, all speak of her sweetness. And when Ralph noticed I was fond of her, he made her my personal maid even though I didn't pay much heed to it, but now I do. “Morning Maria, I see you are prepared for me already” I just had to give in to a quick grin“Yes yes, His highness ordered I take good care of you” she answered “Oh wow, so sweet of him huh” My smile stopped when my thoughts trailed back to his last words last night before leaving. There must be a reason why he said that but then that has to be more rea

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVE The moment my eyes were open, I looked around to take hold of the room I was in. “But how did i get here”I remember taking the book off its stand at the command of Sybill, a sister I hadn’t known I had. Or was it all a dream It all came flashing back to me, the voices, the fight, the powers that oozed out of me, the book!. And with that thought, my eyes fixated on the book, it had golden covers and was so big and heavy, I had to carry it with both my hands. Another thing I need to do is find a place to hide it; I need to find a way out so that no one can see or sense it. I looked around the room once more and saw a box beneath the bed. I quickly picked it up, put my hand on it, and said some spells, and it opened in a matter of seconds, allowing me to put the book inside. Since magic could do anything, I repeated some spells, and the box closed on its own, and I slid it under the bed. I will soon take it to my own chamber in the morning.Then I remembered….The King!!I turned to

Chapter: CHAPTER ELEVEN I had stood up from where I knelt, the air was thick as I slipped quietly into the path the stones created.No one would ever know something like this existed in Ralph’s chamber, or maybe they knew and just didn’t bother telling meThe moment I crossed the threshold, the heavy door behind me sealed itself with a soft thud, leaving me in a world that felt far removed from the castle.The wall before me rumbled softly, shifting just enough to reveal a narrow passageway that stretched into the darkness. I took a deep breath and took a few steps inside, touching my stomach unconsciously.The air was cooler here, thick with the scent of old stone and forgotten power. It looked like a small inner chamber itself, old books littered around, cobwebs cut across every corner in the room, it was old, it was stuffy, I took few more steps and stepped on something rather unusual A skeleton!!Screaming for help, immediately I held back my mouth as I was covered in sweat, fear gripping me as I looked
