I was made to wear a lilac-colored dress filled with large diamond embroidery that hung from my waist to my legs. Except I could see my bulged-up stomach in my reflection.I sighed, “Hang in there, my little one.” I mumbled. If this was a different realm, this might have cost a whole million dollars….I would die to sell this dress if I was the same teenage girl who was hopeful for the world. “Are you ready, Princess Kira?” Asked Lana, who was also wearing a beautiful pink dress. I nodded. She smiled, “You look beautiful, princess.” Lana then guided me to the outside world and once again, I caught a glimpse of the witch realm. The whole place was much enchanting now filled with different lights hanging around the trees. I gasped at the little butterflies flying around with neon light.There were also fireflies dancing around the echoes of the chants of the witches, but my eyes can’t escape the view of the flying little fairies over the field of pink daisies.Lana caught me stari
I tried to mind link him but he seemed to not hear me…‘Ace. It’s me. I am here.’It must be because of the crowd and loud cheer that blocked my voice from his train of thought. All I could feel now is rage. Rage for the witch queen. I scanned the crowd with my eyes, burning daggers at whoever my eyes met.Lana saw me panicking as she tried to hold my hand to keep me calm, “Are you alright? You don’t look okay.”I gritted my teeth, cursing out loud that a few other witches tried to turn their heads at me. Curious gazes landed on me and thinking how I must have gone insane. At this point, Lana was too to scared of me that she hesitantly backed away as her voice trembled, “Your highness? What is the matter?” I snapped my head at Lana, “The matter? Lana, it seems that the queen is mocking me.”She gasped, “What?”I pointed at the stage, where Ace was looking at the front with a straight face on, not even bothering me. Did he even come here for me? If he’s not noticing my scent, ignor
“Who are you?” He asked, “leave this damn stage, woman, or you’ll get killed to death.”I fell to my knees, feeling defeated.“Ace, you can’t forget me. No..” I mumbled. I had expected that he would instantly mug me…he will embrace me and never let me go.This is the opposite. I chuckled, feeling like the world has collapsed into me. I burst into laughter, bitter at everything as I looked at the crowd.Well well well, if things are going to be like this…“Uhm, Excuse me, woman, please leave the stage immediately, you are putting your life in danger there….guards!” The emcee yelled in panic, as the guards came to pick me up.I smirked at them, and looked at the sky, knowing that the queen is watching.“Leave her to me! This is under the queen’s orders!” Lana yelled in a commanding voice and the guards instantly withdraw their hands from me. “Take care of your pet, Lana.” They glared at me and walked away. The crowd was giving me looks and mumbling now, and Lana was about to come to m
In a gentle motion, Lana instantly bowed to me, “I am serving the witch realm, not the queen. I am serving the rightful throne, and that is you.”“Good,” I smirked, Oh, Queen Haelyn if you have just threatened me, I will make sure to return the favor. I will just find some weakness in you. And soon after that, I am always in Lana’s protective barrier, honing my powers.“I have a tip. Do not use all your mana.” Lana mentioned to me as she watched me struggle in burning the whole forest.I breathed deeply, biting my lip in frustration.How come I managed to dot his in the past when I was in danger, even while I was sleeping? How could I not do it when I am fully awake?Lana shook her head in disappointment, “this is bad, your highness. I can only keep this barrier for an hour. It takes a lot of mana to keep this up.”“I’m sorry..” I didn’t know it was taking a toll on her. This barrier is draining her, so with the three days that we were doing this, letting me practice inside her barri
“Ah, there goes our queen!! So merciful” These ten councils feel like just lapdogs for the queen. They are being too fanatic about the queen and glorifying her that it makes me sick merely watching it. “You truly deserve the throne, your highness. Your beauty and grace do not compare to anyone.” “Bow to her!”’ They yelled to me. I didn’t let their commands pressure me into bowing to the queenThat bitch does not deserve even an ounce of respect from anyone here. The queen slightly raised her hands to shut them up, “Anyway, let us get to the point. What is everyone's decision?”“I say we just kill her.” One of them suggested. “No, she’s got something…she is the queen’s daughter after all. She might carry her power, and will manifest later.” Another one intervened. “But what if she uses this against us and kills us if she gets too powerful?”“I doubt that.”They suddenly got into a little argument, not wishing to be lost instantly. As I stood there, I just laughed at their ignoran
I tried to break free, but something changed. I felt his hands gently squeezing me. “Wait for me.” He whispered so low that only an ant could hear. But since I had adopted his keen senses, I heard his voice. I froze, acting normal and not letting the queen notice it as Ace broke free and tried to cover it up with another punch to me. No, Ace is awake….He is awake! I am not wrong! There is still hope. I wanted to cry right there and then, my tears forming but I remained neutral and faced the queen. “Don’t you dare put your back to your enemy child, you’ll get killed like that.” The queen mumbled, and her hands suddenly felt like fainting. slowly, my eyesight seems to be stolen and I fell on the floor, fainting. The last thing I could see was Ace’s neutral face and the queen smirking at me. “Don’t you dare put your back to your enemy child, you’ll get killed like that.” The queen mumbled, and her hands suddenly felt like fainting. slowly, my eyesight seems to be stolen and
My mouth widened at that. “Make sure to use it properly. Our power creates chaos…and I am afraid you are far more powerful than me…” “More powerful than you?” No, I cannot surprise her. “Yes, but using that too much might make us lose anything..our eyesight, our hearing,….or worse, our life…just like what happened to me.” “so you did not die while you were giving birth to me?” “No, at least, that is what they thought, I had purposely hidden the truth. Our power can enter into the future, and I could see the whole realm was burning, I could see the whole realm was on the verge of destruction, I attempted to enter the past countless times, trying for ways how to save it, but not until I got blinded.” Tears in my eyes flowed freely like a waterfall. I couldn't even imagine the pain my mother has to go through. she just lost everyone. she has to make my father forget her, had to deliver a child all by herself, and had to still look after the kingdom despite being betrayed too. How
“Is that your crush?” I asked her, pointing at the handsome gentleman in a suit. He was carrying a gun as he shoot at the boards twenty feet away. Young Haelyn was reddening as she stammered, “Uhm.. excuse me, but I don’t know you so leave.” “Nah, I want to stay and watch you,” I said, and she glared at me. We stayed behind, he still complaining about my existence having no idea until the man stopped firing his guns and faced in our direction. “Who is there?” As soon as he snapped his head to us, I knew it was my father… so this is the start of their encounter…young Haelyn here stalking my father. Great. Haelyn was rooted to her spot, as she glared at me, and my father shot another tree. “Speak up or I’ll kill you.” just then, my mother appeared nowhere beside us. She looks younger too. Same features and look more innocent. She had a crown on her head so I am guessing she’s already throned as the queen. “What are you doing in the human realm?” She asked Haelyn and I cocked
“He just really takes after you. Seeing him reminds me of when you were first staying at the pack. Reckless, disobedient, and immature.”I chuckled, I guess Adrian really takes after me. I can’t deny that. Ace’s eyes were droopy. I let him sit in the living room and made him coffee in the kitchen. When I was done, he was not sitting on the sofa anymore. I searched for him and made my way upstairs to my children's bedroom.Ace was sitting at the edge of Kaira’s bed. He was silent, just staring at our child, Adalric. He tucked his blanket and kissed him on his forehead. Ace then walked to the other side of the bed where Kaira is sleeping. I see our daughter hugging him in her sleep. "Love you, daddy."I can't help but smile sadly. Ace is so busy that he can only see our children once in a while. I know he really misses them, so much that he ditches his work always, just to see his children. I stood in the hallway, watching them. This is their only free time. I should not interfere.A
"Ahhh!"An earth-shattering cry woke me up from my senses. I immediately stood up from the sound. It was from the living room of my throne. Ten years had passed by and I had been kept busy with my throne, my three children, and missing Ace.He had been busy managing the pack….Just then, the realization hit me.No...it can't be...Grabbing my wand from my drawers, I placed it on my waistband to conceal it, making sure it is within my reach. I headed to the living room as soon as possible and I was frozen at the sight in front of me.There, lying on the ground is a child, red blood splattered all over his body.I hurried over and carried the child, my heart beating frantically. I checked his pulse. Still not sure, I also checked his breathing and-"Prank!"I stopped at what the child yelled to me, chuckling.I stopped for a moment...and laughed with him. Laughed at my stupid overthinking and sighed in relief. I chuckled. He never learns."How was it, mommy?" Asked Kaira, the youngest am
ALPHA ACE’s POV 10 YEARS LATERBeing a father has not been easy, but I am aware that Kira's job is three times harder than mine.I was staring at my wife as we both lay in bed.I breathed in deeply, smelling her shampoo, the scent I associate with my own house, and I sank deeper into her long hair. I looked into the identical eyes that had made me fall in love."Adrian is training for his alpha duties, and Adalric and Kaira are at their spell class, babe," I said with a devilish grin after thinking, "It has been a while since we are left alone."Kira innocently lifted her beautifully groomed eyebrows and asked, "So?”What do you mean by "so"? I sneered. I leaned in and chuckled, "Oh honey, you're playing so hard to get now. You know exactly what I'm referring to.." I slowly trained my hands on her shoulders and she gave me the look.“We're elderly and already have kids, honestly, babe, why do you get that much stamina?” I laughed as I jokingly patted my hand away.To show her how har
Two months passed by. After a few brainstorming, Ace and I finally decided on a name.We decided to name him Adrian Zaire.Adrian because I want it to start with the letter A like Ace. Means Dark in Latin and Rich in Greek.Dark because I had given birth to him during the time of darkness, but I knew he is going to bring me the bounty of happiness.And Zaire because my baby is fond of Rivers.He likes to stare at the waters that I had to build a water fountain on the entrance of our throne. I also transferred to the river near here so I could watch over him when he decided to play around when he grows up. I woke up with a fresh start, wanting to go and take Adrian and let him have some vitamin D by letting him bathe in the morning sun.After spending time with my little Adrian and breastfeeding him, I made him burp and made his return to sleep. He looks healthier now and looks more alive as he had some melanin. Baby Adrian is also growing up at a normal rate, so I am glad I could sti
Waking up every day is not as depressing as it used to be.Since our baby was born, I woke up feeling lighter and happier.And I’ve never been contented in life than this…He’s our ray of sunshine. As soon as I wake up smiling, I would cuddle with Ace, and leave before he’ll do something with his hard-on and push it to me….I must save myself…..Then I would go to the nursery room that Ace made for our baby.The room was simple and adorable. With wood carvings and more cushions and mats so that when he grows up, he would not get full of wounds and stumble around.Ah, the thought of a child running around a house excites me. But our baby still hasn’t grown. He is still a delicate baby and a week old. So I am taking extra care when dealing with him. Plus, we still haven’t chosen a name for our baby.So it has been a week since we have been calling him our baby. I tried to list names, but I am still stressing over what to name him. I thought I could name him Selyse if he were a girl
“Ah, Kira!” Arya yelled.Alpha Magnus chuckled, “Who was it who was tearing up after seeing Kira faint? And then fainted too?”“Tsk, leave Ace.”“Bastard, stop mocking me.”“Oh shut up, who was it couldn’t bear to watch my birthing?” Asked Alpha Kamilah, her eyes looking at her mate and Alpha Magnus went quiet.“Your baby is a fighter. He ate his twins…you could have birthed to three…” said Gusev.“What?”“Shh, she doesn’t have to know that.” Everyone is here. Laughing. And it felt nice that it felt like a get-together again. Something like a reunion. As if were old friends trying to bond again. HiExcept we have a plus one now.I felt a bit sad that I couldn’t show my baby to my mother and let my mom carry her.How nice would it be if mom was still alive…I shook my head no. I should not be thinking about that. She’s here in my heart and she’s watching us.I am sure she is happy.Suddenly, the air started to get chilly as Alpha Magnus spoke up, “Now that a tri blood is born, an heir
“I think I am going to…GIVE BIRTH TO OUR CHILD NOW!!” I couldn’t maintain my composed and yelled from pain as Arya instantly ran down to call for Ace while alpha Kamilah stay calm beside me.“Okay calm down. deep breaths,” she said to me.“I am calm!” I yelled, “It’s just painful! It’s coming!”Alpha Kamilah gulped, “I have been pregnant but I had never tried to be the one helping how to labor. Oh goodness, how to do this.”Seemed that alpha kamilah was the one more panicking than me and it was my first time seeing her flustered like this.Lana came to my side and instantly conjured a bed and made me lie down on my back. She then grabbed towels, a bowl, and some necessary things that all I could see was darkness.“Okay, Queen Kira, please stay calm, I am here, I am experienced in matters like this.” She then made me open my legs and cut my dress. She then seems to put something inside me.alpha kamilah stayed and I grabbed her hand for support.goodness, if the baby comes without Ace,
“We believe that you could free us.” lana said and smirked, “show them what you trained for.”I nodded, preparing my hands and my fire. A family figure then came to me, nearing me as he bowed at me, “Luna Kira!” He was gasping for air, “I apologize, we only found you now.”I raised my eyebrows at him, “Took you long to save me.”“I t was part f ourplan. the alpha said not to intervene.”I nodded, “then let’s go, I still have something to do.”I burn the whole place. Burning any spell that Haelyn managed to plant everywhere.I stood at the highest place and yelled. “Everyone,” I yelled, and when I still did not get their attention, Beta Mark growled, and Lana behind me offered to hold her wand for me.‘Use this so they can hear you.”I nodded, so like a microphone…I cleared my throat, “Dear Witches of the Witch ream. It is I, Princess Kira, daughter of the late Queen Selyse, who stood here before you and claim my throne. I am going to save you from the harm that the past Queen Haelyn
“My Kira, finally I apologize for only acting now.” His gaze was back, and he looked deeply into my eyes. I smiled at him, “you said to wait for me.”I had waited for this, I had ways believed it would eventually happen. and now it is happening, he’s free from his chains, He did not hesitate and embraced me, “I am glad you are still alive. I apologize for hitting you I have to do that. I could not move even though I resist, I was fighting her spell, and when you weakened her, I could finally control myself.``I put my finger on her lips, “shh, at least you are a spell now.”He nodded, his eyes tearing up then made me stand up, ‘They’re coming.”“Who?” I raised my eyebrows and he seemed to have seen something as he pushed me aside, “Wait, behind you!”Haelyn ran to me, grabbing a knife and almost hitting me when an arrow shot at the door, hitting her hand and impaling her there. I frowned, not being able to see clearly. From the direction of the knife, I blinked. “Missed us?” a fam
