Her crimson hair swarm widely, as she flipped some pages of her book. I inhaled nervously.
What was she doing telling me to be free?
I pressed my lips firmly, deciding to do as she said. Maybe she’ll tell me what I needed to know.
“S-sure,”
I muttered, reaching for the books in the shelf. My hands scanned through before taking one of them in my hands. I carefully observed it, as I did.
Maybe it was a hint? Or was it?
The book I took had an old brownish cover. It seemed dusty and ancient. But surprisingly, it was locked. With a padlock and it seemed like it needed a key.
“It’s locked, Lady Archer.”
“Yes dear, it is.”
“For now, though. It’s left to you to open it; I’ve played my part.”
“But I don’t have the key. How do I unlock it?” I asked frightfully.
What if the answer to everything
Warning! Some parts of this chapter trigger self-harm and suicide.Dear readers, suicide is never an option. Whatever you’re passing through or facing will soon be over. Hang on in there, please...After that encounter with Rook Francesca, I headed to Knight Lydia’s quarters. My intentions were simple— I wanted Piper in my room.Then I would practice more and find the key after.Luckily, she agreed. Although with the condition that Piper shared a bed with me, since it wasn’t in her power to move anything in the castle.She had suggested me talking to Bishop Cicilia about it, but I waved it off agreeing.What was worse than going to one’s enemies for help?Cicilia would pay for her deeds, with Lady Francesca.But that was until I found the truth.Because something didn’t quite add up. I sensed a hidden enemy; pulling the strings.Who wa
King Caspian’s Pov“Milord, I sent the message. Lady Ava would be here in a few minutes.”Jaskier, my personal guard said with a bow.“Okay thanks.”I said, sitting down in deep thoughts as he left through the door, closing it behind him.Why won’t she accept to be my concubine?Why doesn’t she want me to protect her anymore? Why is she so stubborn?With these thoughts, I stood up pacing back and forth in my chambers.“I want mate.”“I miss her sweet scent and want to hold her in my hands.”My beast grumbled, threatening to take over.“Quiet, would you? Can’t you see I summoned her already?”He won’t rest until our mate was safe with us. Until she was protected from the games.Not that I couldn’t forcefully take her. But doing that, w
Ava’s Pov It was almost like I could hear imaginary bells. Completely zoning out the moment Tabitha jumped. Holding my gown, with my both hands shaking. Through the linings which supported the balcony, I peeked and saw Tabitha’s disfigured body. “Oh no…” She was already dead. It was an eye sore. Right beside her down, were Francesca and Cicilia. Seems like they intended to stop her from jumping so they won’t be exposed. I knew Tabitha was right, that instant. Clearly, they were both responsible. In fact, they have been feeding on her. “Lady Ava…” I wondered who was calling me. “Lady Ava!!” Someone jeered me out of my thoughts, shaking my arms steadily. I looked only to see Cassandra. “You need to get a hold of yourself,” She said. Thankfully, she had followed me unknowingly. Sh
As he reached for them, a strong feeling of déjà vu washed past me.My head couldn’t help but remember the moments we had been intimate. Back on the ship, and the night he chose me for the Great Dance.Also, the other time he was drunk.He did make me feel special.“Ava…” he trailed on his words.“I love you… you know, that right?”My heart beat thudded frantically. I reached for his shoulders, wrapping my hands around them. I also wondered if he was a bit tipsy.“Mhmm,”Those were the words I breathed out, unsure of what to say exactly.What was I supposed to say? That I perhaps loved the person I was forcefully given to?“You mean the world to me. So much more,” Caspian said, trailing kisses on my earlobes, down to my neckline. I gasped when he ripped my cloth forcefully, tearing the material with hi
I laid on his bed, in my ripped clothes from the desire of his beast.Just by my side, Caspian laid down too. His back pressed on the bed as I watched him. He watched me too, his face laced in guilt.Or was it?Didn’t even know if I should cry.“Ava…”He reached out for me saying.“Please, don’t touch me.”I went out of his reach immediately. Felt betrayed that he will put his seed in me, without asking me.“It was my beast. You very much know his desire for an heir. I can’t stop him.”“I’m fully aware of that, milord.”I immediately let out, looking the other way.“Besides, what say do I have in this? I’m just a mere pawn whose duty is to serve you and bear your pup.”“Do not say that. You are my mate, my chosen.”Caspian retorted.“Am I?&rd
King Caspian “Milord, I summoned the seer already. She is present, should I bring her in?” “Yes, Jaskier.” I replied immediately. I knew to put an end to this insanity, I had to re-hear the prophecy. I needed to know what the Moon Goddess had in store for me. What she had in store for my mate. What she had in store for my Kingdom. How she intended to punish me, for my past sins. The door opened, jeering me out of my thoughts. I stood up immediately, taking in the presence of the Historical Witch Nynaeve. “To whom do I owe this honor? The beast himself, summoning me?” She remarked slyly, as she made her way inside my Royal office. Her lengthy ox-blood gown, sweeping the floor just behind her. “You know why I send for you, Nynaeve. Over the years, we’ve worked hands together protecting my dynasty.” I answered, standing up to pay respect. The seer was a brown-s
Ava’s Pov I could hear the battle drums beating impatiently as I stood tall in my spot. In my hands was my sword. While at the side of my foot was a dagger. Knight Lydia stood at distance, with a look of delinquency on her features. “You could just walk out and wait for the day, you know.” My wolf calmly suggested. “Of what use? Still amounts to combating Knight Lydia.” I spat at her, taking a hold of my sword and lifting it up, remembering Master Zu’s words. “More stubborn than I expected.” she retorted. Looking around, I could see Francesca and Cicilia’s devious glances. She demonstrated a look of elimination with her hands slicing through her neck as a blade would. I scoffed immediately. I wasn’t dying easily if that’s what they both thought. “So tell me pawn, why would you risk your life and com
Every pawn, including Tania and Satandra, clapping cheerfully at my victory. I could swear I saw it all in slow motion. To think they’ll be happy for my victory, after trying to eliminate me. Just how possible was that? “We won, Ava.” My wolf rushed out, saying. “Yes, we did.” I muttered instantly. “We did win,” I repeated. “Thanks to you wolf.” Even if Knight Lydia currently bled to death on the floor, no one came to her rescue. It was all part of the game. I mean, that could have been me? Dropping a part of my torn piece of cloth, I bowed down to pay my last respect. “I felt her push my limits.” My wolf added. “She was a good warrior,” I nodded at her statement, as I walked back clothed in blood with my piece of armor disheveled. “You’re right. She was indeed skillful.” “We’ll never forget her.” she retorted. Piper and Emily rushed to hug m
🖤🩸“I have always wondered what my destiny was. This vampiric witcher believes it’s to bear his pup, and to drink from me.” – Frida King🖤🩸…A total of 5 assistants came into our rooms, minutes after with trays. Contained in them were adornments.I narrowed my eyes wondering what these were. A closer look told me it was for us.“Milady,” my assistant said stepping nearer. “We were told to give you this, and make sure you liked them.”“Of what use?” Lisa let out with a scoff.The other three females in the room looked at her confusingly. A look of amusement replayed in my features though. “They’re trying to season us, I guess?” I retorted.“I’d rather walk the plank.”“You should do as they say.” Lisa’s assistant said.I folded my arms wondering what this castle held.“And why is that?” Lisa replied her.“Because we watched the other girls who were resistant.” my heart gave an overwhelmed feeling that minute. Other girls...? It was my assistant who said it this time and it felt stran
🩸🖤“I have always wondered what my destiny was. This vampiric witcher believes it’s to bear his pup, and to drink from me.” – Frida King 🖤🩸…The entire place seemed bloody. The other girl who eliminated the girl used her blood to turn the lantern off. She made her way to the front with a primal look on her face.Knowing I couldn’t be a part of it, I walked towards the girl’s body staring at her as she gasped for breath. My hands directed to her, rubbing her heard. “It’s fine,” I muttered. “You do not have to struggle or blame yourself. You can rest now.”“M-my family, I promised them that I was going to make it.” she let out.“A word will be sent out to them, you can rest now.” I said, my voice in a tone spelled with sympathy.“T-Thank, you...” she trailed before closing her eyes.“I’ll make your death worthwhile.” I said with a determined look. That minute, I took some of her blood putting some droplets on the lantern.The flame began to burn out that instant. The last of it whoof
🖤🩸“I have always wondered what my destiny was. This vampiric witcher believes it’s to bear his pup, and to drink from me.” – Frida King🩸🖤…I commenced running with all that I had, forgetting the fact that I had to hide my identity.My Lycan willingly came out and although she didn’t shift, we were still fast. Heaving erratically, breathing in fast paces, I looked back from time to time...“NooooOO!!” The panther caught up with one of them. I realized it was the male which the panther devoured rapidly. The girl surprisingly didn’t go back for her partner, instead she increased her speed with all she had. “Help me, please…!”My Lycan heard those words, making my eyes flare up in yellow. “Yahh!!” What happened next was a blur, but I think I scared the panther off...I opened my eyes naked, on a deserted part of land with water droplets sprinkling on me from a plant. “Psst. I’m so not trusting or helping anyone again.”It seemed like there were people around from the food I smelled.
🖤🩸"I have always wondered what my destiny was. This vampiric witcher believes it’s to bear his pup, and to drink from me.” – Frida King 🖤🩸 …. I woke up discovering that every single deck member had disappeared. In fact, there was no one in sight when I pushed the door coming aboard. Everything looked in place, except that the sea had landed on shore. Did they actually leave me? “Where is everyone?” I said those words out loud. Pinching myself to check if it was a dream, but when I scowled, I was so sure it wasn’t. “Hello?” my voice echoed in reply. I sighed with the possible fact that I might have been duped and deceived. Reaching to scavenge for my backpack, I found nothing. In fact, the money I hid secretly had disappeared. Dammit! Maybe it was what I deserved for being naïve. What did I expect? An easy part to the Kingdom of Shrekers? Was such a fool to think the strange captain from last night, had a thing for me. “Yah!” I jumped from the ship, with my Lycan strengt
~Back to reality~“What’s your name, girl and how did you get here?”“I’m a nobody.” I seethed at his question, with our eyes connecting. A nobody in search of my path, Captain.“A nobody, eh? Do you hear that crew, she says she’s a nobody!” The crew laughed immensely at his words.I scoffed, shutting my eyes and remembering even why I was doing this. The Captain’s hands went through his coal-black hair, with some loose strands just at his face sides demonically.“There is no place for a nobody on this ship, girl.” he murmured, in my ear.“It’s Frida.” I spat at him. “I intend to join your crew, Captain.”A look of disbelief displayed in his dark pupils, which stared at my almond ones, with a warning glare. I swallowed, with the wind bringing a little part of my red hair to fall on my face.“I don’t accept daddy’s girls in my crew, little one.”The Captain voiced out, walking away from me. Feeling humiliated, I released my Lycan.She ripped his men’s bulky hands off, with our doubled

Let me drink from that precious body of yours." He said, with his fangs extending, his eyes reddened. "And then, what?" "You can lay there, with your legs apart for me your precious mate. You're going to like it, love." He said, pinning my hands to the wall and licking my neck. "Let me take away the tingling sensation, between your thighs," Wanted to get out of his grasp, but he was an original witcher vampire. The first of the firsts... rendering my Lycan powerless. My thighs were extremely wet from his words. "J-just let me go. I promise not to come back." I cried out. "I'm claiming you this instant, little mate. My urging is for you only and you can't do a damn thing about it!!" He growled at me, bringing his vampiric, witcher blood. ************************* I knew I mustn't be seen. In fa

Some deaths only made things right. Some were damages. I caused several of them, as one of the perpetrators. Do I deserve to even live? – Ava King (The Queen) … “I also took part in eliminating the girls.” I had lamented, the other day. I was in a lost part of the castle, where no one could hear me. “I did it to save myself, yet that wasn’t fair on their side.” “A-Ava?” Piper had muttered, stepping from my back. She had been trying to reach out to me, with her soft and feeble hands. Her eyes held a saddened look, with a pout. Reason had been that we were in separate rooms. “It’s all going to be fine, I promise.” I had whispered, but she still held on to me. “Most girls are bigger than me there, they’re going to bully me.” She numbly stated. I had sighed that day, even though I felt helpless. “They won’t. I’ll protect you if they do, I promise.” I said, kissing her hands. I opened my eyes, waking up from the strange dream. I’ll protect her if they tried to hurt her? I
Ava’s Pov“The district wars are upcoming. Right now, a plague of suffering is spreading out. I need help.” – Ava King (The Queen)…King Teta’s body was brought around the palace, by the few people who believed he should have a burial.Even the people he ruled, forsook him.His body thrown out of the sea, the minute he stopped breathing.“Father,”My mate let out, with a saddened expression. It was directed at his pale body, which lay near the furnace for cremation. With Alcander, who had rushed from the Kingdom, the minute he heard the news.We had wanted to eliminate him, because of his cruelty. But I understood that at the end of the day, he was still Caspian’s father.“You always wanted power, forsaking even the family you made.” Caspian continued. “In your hands were the blood of hundreds of girls. The blood of innocent virgins, and lastly… our mother.”“Our own mum, Lady Archer.”Alcander continued, with tears surrounding his eyes in hurt.“You made your own sons, not even know
