last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

“Losing the people, I care about, wasn’t something I thought would happen. Want to end this journey of mine, but the pup in me won’t let me.”

“The will to live, I fight for. With my lover, the beast by my side.” - Ava Knight

“This, is something strange to us all.”

“Gathering for a befitting but sad burial for one of us. We were once coerced into eliminating ourselves for points to live.”

I chose my words carefully as I spoke the girls and audience, that showed up for Emily’s burial.

Personally, organized it as the Knight. She deserved that much.

“After I became Knight, I improved the rules of the game, scrapping out the killings.”

“However, I forgot my own best friend needed me, with the lurking evils in this castle.” I sniffled in hurt, saying. “It’s all blood, with bones, an eye for an eye. Tooth for tooth.” I admitted, truthfully from my experiences.

“Emily was an angry kid.”

“But we won’t deny that beneath her, was a strong, brave girl, who sacrificed her live, to save her frien

    “This is what I’ve always wanted. Another land, in another world far from being a pawn or Knight; a Queen.” “Still doesn’t feel like ‘it’ though.” – Ava Knight. … “My Knight.” Cassie had said, bowing happily. I reached out to raise her up instantly, with my hands in hers. “Please grant me the honor of preparing your wedding,” She looked into my eyes saying, with her curls dancing cheerily. “Wouldn’t that be too much workload?” “Not a bit! I would be entirely happy to do so!” she exclaimed excitedly. Had no choice but to smile whole heartedly and nod my head, at her request. From her years in the castle, she definitely had experience in preparing occasions. “Very well, Cassie.” “Thanks, I won’t let you down! It would be perfect to the core,” she took my hands saying before disappearing to start the preparations. Caspian and I, decided to have the wedding done tomorrow. The sooner the wedding, the quicker the revenge. I had agreed to marry him. In truth, it was not just becau

    When I remembered Emily’s death, all I did want to do was scream to myself for not avenging her properly. She didn’t deserve that. In no doubt, she didn’t. A death from her own best friend, because of a set-up. But, with Caspian, I had re-assurance. That when I was his wife… when I was Queen, I would get the revenge I wanted. Just like Caspian said, Nynaeve had made my gown. A white dress, just like the tale from the girl with Cinders. It was the most beautiful gown I had ever seen— a sweetheart neckline, embedded with rhinestones, just at the waistline, going down the floor, like a powerful carpet. While Caspian was dressed as a royal pirate. Didn’t make any sense, but he insisted his attire came richly from a Captain’s cap, trousers, cloth, jacket and literally everything including the majestic boots. My mate looked just as if he stepped out of a contemporary romance novel. As a prince charming would, even though it was far from that… “Do you, Ava Knight, accept His Majesty

    “The dead has no business with the living,” Caspian snarled at her. “Why are you here? Who summoned you, to earth, to my Kingdom?” Unveiling her cloak, she walked forward. Towards us, in a red dress, with her chin held up high, sashaying. “You have no idea, do you?” Lydia constructed. “Oh Ava, you can’t keep things from your own mate?” she said, in a façade of a worried expression. She was clearly trying to create a problem, and use it to her advantage. But I wasn’t that stupid. In a fighting stance, my paws elongated from my fingers, so did my fangs from my teeth. Get behind me. Caspian mind linked me. I have to protect both you and our pup. He added protectively. Now. I did as he said, while he stepped forward at her. “You used to be an ex-Knight; whose death was honored amongst us. Seeing you here means only two things. That you were summoned or never died.” Caspian seethed, with a look of dominance. “If it’s the latter, then we are going to have a problem.” She leaned in,

    “W-what are you saying, mum?” Trembling in disbelief, I asked her. “Just who does he think he is, to show up anytime?!” “That bastard.” I seethed, with angry tears filling my eyes. Thinking he could show up again. Making us to think he cared, then leaving again. “You need to calm down, dear. He was sorry that you had to go to the choosing. Your dad aims to make peace with us.” Mum said. Peace? “There is no peace, mum. Not with us, his second family. He should look for peace with his first.” I said, looking around at the happy guests. Caspian was with some group of men, I recognized to be chiefs and elders. I recognized some from the Great Dance. “He’s still your father, dear. My husband,” “He has another wife, mum! Another set of children in his district. A family he cherishes more. He’s trying to use us again!!” I exclaimed immediately. “Get that into your head, please…” I untangled my hands from her shoulders. Her hands connected with my face, giving me a fitful slap. The

    “This is where things are supposed to come to an end. Each minute, this journey seems like the start. Don’t know if happily married is an overstatement.” – Ava King *Present reality* “It’s okay!” I declared immediately at the guards, who outstretched their swords towards mum. “It’s our duty to protect you, Queen Mother!” One of the guards declared, bowing down. “Are you sure this woman’s not a threat?” “She’s my mother,” I braced myself up, declaring with a smile. “She has all rights to slap me,” I chuckled, looking around. “Carry on with the party!” The invited guests laughed it off, and the musical instruments commenced playing instantly. The lively energy was back that instant. I directed myself to face mum, that minute. Her face held a look of disbelief and mockery. “Are you okay, mum?” I asked her immediately. She was just recovering and it’d be safe to ask her. “Are you okay?” I repeated, desperately putting my hands on her shoulders. Mum ripped it off immediately, gl

    Being able to help with his scars… and him with mine, is the best feeling ever. I love him, that’s what matters – Ava King --- “It’s our wedding night remember?” At my words, I kissed him on the forehead while he entered my bosoms with my hands wrapped around him tightly. A gust of wind blew from outside, rolling a vase off the cupboard. Thus, affecting his long dark hair, which moved in tune with mine. “Yes, it is, mate.” He muttered, kissing me back. This time, on my lips though. It was…gentle, soft, and... My thoughts stopped when I saw tears flowing freely from his eyes, as he dimmed it shut. The room, totally dark. Could have sworn I felt a part of my heart break. “It’s okay now, I’m here.” I sweetly said. “We would make her pay. We would make Lady Archer happy from her grave...” “We would. We have to,” Caspian stood up from my bosoms, saying and, taking my chin in his hands. Though healed, it was trembling swiftly. At his sudden movements, my thoughts were recomposed.

    Cilicia’s PovI was born in a brothel.My mum was a whore, with no sense of shame. Dad…got mixed with merchants. Not that he was one himself, more like a servant who got himself a favour for a night.My mum happened to spread her legs apart, at her most fertile moment. Herbal concoctions got wrong, and I showed up. Ruining her customers. Was told she’d curse every day, and fight for her rights.She got none though.She had to squeeze in with some butchery market, flaking hides off, till her water broke. Mum was back to the brothel, the instant I dropped out of her lady part.I’d say her mouth was a hell of a truth pill, cause she never hid a single thing from me. “I didn’t plan for you, Cece,” she’d say, in a sweet tone, reminding me of the nature of my birth.“But now you’re here, you’d better make it worth it.”Mum repeated those words, daily, ever since I could walk. The instant I became a teenager, I was used to seeing adults screwing in the weirdest of places. I knew the shade o

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

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

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
