Astrid's POVI was stuck at my office after the news that Ulfred had passed onto me. Not because my father had ordered his gaurds to lock the door from outside but I did not seem to find that courage to leave the room.Yuna was found. Again.I remember the last time I was in a trance that I could not even walk properly without getting a knee cut. I was overwhelmed with joy. But this time it wasn't just joy but fear.Will she hate me for what I did to her? Would my feelings for her make me surrender and let her slaughter me while her people will kill my people? Could be strong enough in front of her?I was anxious and restlessly pacing back and forth in the office because there was something Ulfred had to tell me before I could see Yuna and I was afraid to hear. What could be more worse than what I learned about her last time?I was ready for forgive her if she signed the leave treaty between humans and werewolves but I did not have that strength to take her back in my life. It was dif
An incapable entranceYuna's POVI fluttered my eyes open when I felt something disturbing in my sleep. Slowly but steadily I got my vision clear and I looked around to see a new place. I expected that. I was always taken after knocking out. Why had this become so common?I gulped at the view of the plain walls coloured light blue and no windows at all. I could not see any door and that was when my eyes laid on the ladder placed under a small square shaped wooden barrier, probably door, on the ceiling.Sly wolves learned their lesson from the last time I ran away.I scoffed at the wolves for giving me a beautiful place to stay and I stood up from the floor which I realised was very cold, the whole room cold. I made my to the ladder and touched it."They won't just keep such an easy escape for me, will they?" I spoke to myself and thought to try it out. I would not hurt anyway. But as soon as I stepped on the ladder, a loud beep echoed in the whole room and I felt an electric shock on
Yuna's POVIt had been more than just one hour as I assumed but the lights around me were the same. The whole place has lights and no windows, the ceiling door seemed to be opening at a ground level inside the house or building and I was free but tied up the ankle detector.The ankle detector would buzz with a loud siren and stinging current if it reached near the metal ladder what was I had kept in my mind. I stayed away from the ladder as much as I could and pulled my knees to my chest, resting my head on it. I was not even aware for how long was I unconscious. Was everyone okay up there? Did the soldiers get help? Was Calvin okay? Was everyone alive? Were they looking for me? These questions were roaming in my head and all I could do was just worry and shiver. The place I was in was extremely cold and there was no mat, I was sitting on the floor and the just feeling the burning pain on my waist gifted by Astrid earlier. "Uh." I laid down, feeling helpless and dizzy when the door
The BedroomAstrid's POV"What will you do to me?" She asked in a small voice, laced with fear. Her body was shivering not just with high fever but because she was scared. Scared of me.I tried to gulp and control my emotions but they flew down my cheeks in the form of tears and it too late to hold back. I hurt her. I hurt my cupcake when she was trying to help me. I left her arms and lowered my head, sobbing silently and I felt her warm palm on my head which made me cry more.I did not deserve her. "Why?" She whispered and I looked up to see her eyes filled with tears."I'm sorry." I said and hugged her. She hissed in pain and I quickly left her. It was obvious that her body was in extreme pain after I tortured her twice in a row. "I'm sorry." I said again and buried my head in her lap."Stop." She whispered, still caressing my head and this time I made myself obey to her words and stopped crying. I should have stopped when she begged me to.I should have fucking stopped being bli
Astrid's POV"Thanks, mom." I replied and looked at father and he nodded before turning to his wife."My Juliet, this knight in his not so shining armour would now have to return his task of saving this lazy world. Now, if you excuse me." He bowed and kissed her knuckles, making her chuckle and dramatically turned around, pushing me and walking out of the kitchen.I rolled my eyes but followed him as we made our way to his office and his whole demeanor changed as I closed the door behind me. Same old dad."I heard that Ulfred told you something." He said and leaned on the table, hands crossed on his chest."He told me that the human army were actually trying to warn us about the sealed gates getting endangered and an underground creature on lose lurking in the human world." I said and he frowned with his eyes wide."Then what happened to him?" He asked."They said he was found near the hunter's society while the remaining soldiers were trying to tell the our soldiers about this and tr
Lord's BedroomYuna's POVAfter a long time, I finally opened my eyes after keeping them shut even after waking up for quite a while. I scared to look around or worse see if there was someone waiting for me to wake up.Especially, the lord.The room was dark since the curtains were closed and the light was not allowed to get in much. It was daytime. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up the support of my elbows but laid back down with a hiss.My whole body was in extreme pain and my brain was numb, dizzy. I closed my eyes again, realising that not moving or waking up was so better.Now my body was aching with pain even when I was not moving. This was worse. But I could not feel the ankle detector on my legs anymore. Was it gone or I just could not feel it because my body for used to it?I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. It was Astrid's room. Everything in that room was the same, not that a few days would have changed anything. The smell of the room reminded me of
Warm waterAstrid's POV"No." She said. I wanted to scream and jump in joy with her approval but I contained myself. I did not want to do anything that would scare her in any way but just wanted to comfort her in her ways. She loved warm bathtub time and loved it even more when I massaged her head while she rested.Not that she ever accepted my help nor confessed that she liked it. It was I who insisted on helping her with a promise that I would not get horny, which was difficult.That would be the first time she agreed with me. I helped to remove her dress because her hands and legs were weak and pale. But even after being pale and tired, her face turned rosy when I pecked her lips and I loved having that effect on her.I scooped her in my arms and headed towards the bathtub filled with warm water and bath bombs. She was just so perfect in my arms that I always wanted her in them.I gently placed her in the water and she sighed in relief. I smiled a bit and took a small stool and plac
Astrid's POVIt was supposed to be my day off because of the weekend but who said I was working as employee? I was the King and I had no such things called holiday in my life. Sounds painful, but yeah, I had already accepted this. I never had any problem in working but Yuna always made me want to take leave and just tuck in the bed and spend some quality time with her. But alas, here I was.I was still wearing my nightwear since I had no one to see or talk to but I had to just read some papers and sign a few documents before I could head out. I opened my father's office and saw him sitting on the chair with his head leaning back and eyes closed with a frown. I approached him and saw his hands entangled on his lap.He was probably thinking something deeply and that was when I saw the file lying in front of him which was attached to a picture. A picture of a man."Dad." I called him out."Take a look at this file." He said without moving an inch from his place and I held the file in my
Walking inside Dora's room, he expected to find Sylvie beside her, but she wasn't. Maybe she went to the terrace. He went to check if she was fine and found her standing safely behind the grill, her back in his direction. He didn't disturb her and went back to Dora who was still sleeping. Sitting beside her, he stroked her hair thinking about the word Sylvie told but he ignored it in between the argument. 'Boyfriend' she had said. How did she get to know? Guess this little girl was smart. He scoffed and looked at Dora's eyes which were closed. He was yearning to see her Hazel orbs but seeing her like this, he found her adorable. —Frederick's POV— She smiled. When I looked at her, I couldn't help myself but wonder what was she dreaming about. Are you dreaming about me? So silly of me. You'd even be hitting me in your dreams for god knows which fault I committed. I scoffed at my thoughts leaning back, still stroking her cheeks. They're not wet because of tears but I could feel her
When Dora was about sleep, she realized she haven't talked with Fred all day. Her health was improving slowly which was unexpected.She thought her body was strong enough to cure anything, but she was so wrong. Sighing deeply, she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling quietly thinking about the giftshe brought. The gift might be useless but she had no idea if Fred would find it cute.After roaming a lot in the market, she ended up calling her little sister for any ideas and the suggestion was so simple! She regretted not having any gift buying knowledge but it wasn't like it was her choice though. Thinking of a gift for Fleur was a tough job as she didn't know much about her so all she could buy was a show flower bouquet with no fragrance.Just when she was about to doze off, a notification on her phone made her excited as she quickly grabbed it and checked it was Fred.An instant smile took place on her sleepy face as her fingers started replying to his texts.Soon after a long talk
Shaking off all the thoughts, I waited for Eric to return. I couldn't call anyone. I seriously need to go there and meet.It's all because of the invention of the phone that we never memorize anyone's numbers.But I'll memorize everyone's numbers now. As Eric entered the room, he raised his eyebrows twice before resting them again asking me if I called anyone."I don't remember anyone's number." I sighed. I left my phone in the car before we headed to meet Roy. I frowned as a question popped up in my mind."It's okay. Meet them when you're okay." He patted my head."Can I ask you something?" I asked. Seeing my serious face, he frowned too."Yeah, sure.""When you found me, did you find anyone else with me?" I asked.I know this might be a stupid question or may create many doubts but I needed to make sure if Roy was still alive.He hesitated to speak for a while which tensed me. Growing up anxiety ate up all my patience as I sat straight ignoring the pain for some time."Uh... yes." H
Nymphadora's POVFluttering my eyes as my brain gave a command to open it, I closed them again as the bright light forced itself on my face. Feeling my lungs alive, I took a deep breath slowly feeling my surroundings.I was lying on a soft mattress covered by the sheets. My hips were paining to the point that it made it impossible for me to move. My foot was aching with pain too.I felt bandages. I was still struggling with the sun and felt like it was fighting me to stay put as I was.Trying to raise my hands, I felt as if they were working after a long time, I rubbed my palms on my forehead before protecting my eyes from the direct sun as my throat left a voice that sounded annoyed."Oh, you're awake!" I heard a male voice but couldn't pull myself to turn my head in the direction of the origin.I heard the footsteps across the room and eventually noticed the sunlight was gone. He had pulled the curtains close.I finally managed to open my eyes to see a well-decorated ceiling, probab
The temporary base campAstrid's POVI, along with my father, headed towards the base camp set by the soldiers of both of the kinds. Finding out about the creature's motive and the one giving him orders was necessary. Because even if right he was caught, she was on the lose. There is nothing stopping her from finding another deer for doing her dirty work while she lived anonymously. Taking a full breath was out of question and I was craving to take my real form because of the anxiety and lack of breath, but I had to calm down.I looked at my father sitting beside in the car, he was looking outside with his hand on his lips and elbow resting near the window. He was still in deep thoughts and I decided not to disturb him. The car ride remained silent until we reached out destination and we stood outside.I closed my eyes for a while to focus on my breathing and took a long breath. We both walked inside and the soldiers greeted us. I saw the human soldiers standing alongside our soldier
