Edwina

As I lay on the floor, hidden from view, I listened intently to the conversation unfolding below. The once heavily guarded palace now seemed eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted just moments ago.

Downstairs, Damien lay naked and writhing in pain on the table, his groans echoing through the empty halls. The oldest witch among them approached him, her presence commanding respect and authority.

"Welcome back, my son," she greeted him warmly, her voice carrying a sense of reassurance. With practiced hands, she began to apply potions to his wounds, the soothing concoctions working their magic to ease his suffering.

Damien's eyes fluttered open, confusion etched across his face as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings. "What happened?" he croaked, his voice thick with pain.

The old witch smiled gently, her touch comforting as she reassured him. "Fear not, my son. You have overcome this trial, and you emerge from it stronger than ever before. There is

    EdwinaI knew Damien was dark, but this was just the worst kind of darkness I had ever seen. It's no wonder he has no remorse for any life whatsoever, and the woman he called mother, breastfeeding him at such an old age! She is probably in her sixties or seventies. How did she get milk in her breast to feed an adult?The fetish bullshit they are doing tells me that there is more to it. Could his mother be the secret to his power? And if she is, was the sex necessary?I wonder how long Damien has been having forbidden sex with that so-called mother of his.I wonder when it started. Damn, I don't want to wonder anymore.Damien is alive now, and that is what matters.I went back to my hiding place in the room and slept in the wardrobe.In the morning, I woke up to the old witch talking. The whole place was quiet, and you could hear echoes of people talking nearby. With my sharp wolf hearing, I knew that I had to listen to whatever they were saying.I stood by the door and heard them talk

    EdwinaSomeone must have heard it but I don't care, I can't stay here anymore. I quickly ran out of the room to find a better hiding place. I had ransacked the room earlier to find supplies that I might need. I found a safe that had a little bag of silver coins which I would need to get stuff and that made me happy.“Is any guard still alive in this house?” The mother witch asked.“I don't know," Damien answered.“Well, I heard a sound, so we need to find out if there is someone here watching us. Nobody can know what has happened here.” the mother witch said then she signaled to the other apprentice to search around the house.At this point, my heart is beating very loudly, and I immediately start looking for a secure place to hide. I know that for now, my time in this place has expired because if anyone is consciously looking for me, they will find me.Normally they should be able to smell my presence in this house if it wasn't my house but a werewolf has no scent in it because that

    EdwinaMerlin got me a sheet where I wrote a message for Damien.“You never answered me when I asked you for the destination of the message.“Nowhere serious, we are going to the palace. We need to send a message to Damien,“What…? Are you joking? Do I look like a fool who you can tell silly things? You're just a deceitful person because if you aren’t you would send me a realistic message instead of making silly jokes!” he got so angry and tried to walk away.“Merlin! Please wait back. I am not joking. I have enough money to give you. You just need to find a way to deliver my message. I promise I won't leave you. I’ll just be a stone's throw away from you.” I begged“Show me the money first.” He said.“ Sure, “I brought out a few shiny silver coins from the little bag and gave it to him.“ he couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes when he saw how refined and glittery these coins were.“There is more where that came from!” I told him“Wow, this looks like it was made only for royals.

    Damien’s POVEverything that has happened today and yesterday has been a shock to me.How Little Edward managed to defeat me without a backup.I wonder who gave him the knowledge to overcome me!

So tell me how someone in his twenties could defeat me. What experience does he have?I have done everything Morris asked me to do, I do not take any ritual for granted!

    Damien’s POVWell, I know better than to tell her that her mother is dead. I still need her very much She kept asking about her poor mother but it just sounded funny to me: “Like, the bitch is dead, stop asking!”I wanted to scream that at her but I kept ignoring her questions to concentrate on my little nephew who isn't so little anymore. How he managed to defeat me is still a marvel to me but Mother will have all that taken care of.rI have partaken in all the rituals she was n'ts me to and I believe that I am stronger now.All I need to do now is to rebuild my army after that, I need to do what Mother asks me to do so that we can destroy Edwards once and for all.I can see that the boy is little but he possesses some wisdom. He is wise enough to seek the help of sorcerers to help him fight his battle but I know that Mother is the most powerful sorcery around. I have never heard of anyone stronger or could there be someone of some people who have more powers than Mother and her cov

    Edwina.I waited patiently and watched from afar to see if Damien would get my message and not too long after the apprentice came out and went back in. The same stone was thrown back outside.I didn't run to pick it up immediately.I saw a small boy who was running around and I paid him a little coin to help me get the stone.He did it happily and handed the stone over to me.“It was the same sheet I threw! Did he even read it? I opened the sheet and turned it to the back to see that Damien also had a little message for me.“Get me King Edward’s fiancee and I will release your mother to you as soon as possible.”Damn, what does he want from me? Why does he keep getting me involved in the silly affairs between him and his nephew?I just want my mother back, I am not even trying to fight for my kingdom, all I want is my mother but what choice do I have when I am dealing with a demon?I can't face Damien in this lifetime or the next. I just need to be diplomatic with him.He wants Edward

    EdwinaAs I was riding, I heard some hissing sounds but I didn't care to know what it was all about.Suddenly, I hear another horse riding a distance behind me.Yup! I was right, there are thieves within these rocks.I pressured Chesnut to ride faster as we could both see that we were in trouble.The hissing sound got even louder and the man riding the horse at the back did not stop.Why the hell is he chasing me? What have I done this time?I am not willing to stop for anyone. No one is gonna stop me. I will ride till I get to where I am going.It's a good thing that I took my horse training classes very seriously. Chesnut and I seem to have an understanding because I speak his language. He understands that we are in trouble and we cannot stop for fear of anything.Chesnut was jumping through hurdles and stumbling rocks while I rode her. I could see the lights in Rocky Jill's town already. I am almost out of trouble just a little more push and this bastard will leave me alone.“Stop

    Edward,Everything seemed like a dream when I saw that the palace where I had left Edwina had caught fire.I did not understand how it happened, but something told me that it was my fault.I feel quite guilty because I was part of the reason why she sustained so many injuries. I had no idea that she was there, so I just climbed over the door to save Edwina, but I had no idea.I was glad that the healers were able to save Rebecca, even though she had sustained so many burns. But hearing that she was pregnant was the last thing I expected to hear.Of course, she is pregnant. This is what she has always wanted. This was what she aimed to get when she drugged my food and took advantage of me. But how do I begin to explain that?I have finally fulfilled all the promises that I made to Edwina, and I am supposed to be happy with her right now. But Rebecca obviously is the enemy that was sent to ruin my happiness, and she is doing a good job at that.I feel so sad that Alfie is gone. He was l

    EdwinaI was stuck here in the palace with this hideous-looking creature. I remember the terrible things that I saw with her and Damien. Why would Edward leave me in the same room with this bitch?I want to strangle her, and I want to take the life out of her. She looks so fragile; it would be very easy for me to kill her.As soon as Edward and Alfie left the both of us in the room, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity for me to end her life.I did not care what Edward was saying to Alfie when he wanted to take his swing at her, but I will not listen to any of that. She is as guilty as Damien for killing my parents.As soon as I was sure that Edward and Alfie were out of our way, I went for it.I was at her neck, my hand around her stupid neck, and began to press as hard as I could. She tried to push my hands off, but she obviously wasn’t strong enough, and I was not even willing to let go until I am sure that the breath has left and she is truly gone.“Plea…” She begged, but

    I couldn’t understand what was going on. Alfie should not be fighting in his condition, but he continues to fight. What the hell is wrong with him? I tried to stop him from fighting, but at the same time, Damien made it difficult.Each time I pulled him away and fought the man myself, he ended up coming back to fight.“Leave my body alone, you fucking witch!” When he yelled those words, I knew that everything he was doing was not of his own will; he was being controlled. The witch is here somewhere.The second time Alfie went to grab Damien, I rushed to him to pull him away, but Damien delivered a massive blow to me and I landed on my back. Damien succeeded in pulling out a massive part of Alfie's heart, and it was then that Alfie finally stopped fighting…“Alfie!” I yelled as I watched him fall to the ground, breathing badly.His heart had been tossed aside, and I thought that if I rushed to pick up the heart and put it back into him, it would heal because there was still time.

    AlfieI knew that Edward was not as smart as he thought he was.What was he thinking? Taking all his men at once into Valencia to fight?Does he think Damien is stupid?Damien has been fighting wars since before he was born, and yet Edward thought his men were just enough to take Damien down.Well, he should be glad that I am here with my men. Even though I do not want to wear my men out, I know that they will come in very handy. But it is just too early for Edward to use his men; we haven’t even gotten to Damien yet.By the time that I did, it would have been toast.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew that they were in the palace, so that is where we are heading. Damien's head is mine.Edward had gone to the palace earlier than I did, but that does not stop me, I will always be there to save his ass.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers.

    EdwardAs we were fighting, I felt like we weren't being challenged as much as I thought we would. Something is off, and it is hard for me to place my finger on it. Why have I not seen Damien yet? Suddenly, I felt a change in the atmosphere when I saw some of my men fighting against each other.I could not understand what was going on. They were all dressed in the same uniform, and it was a bit confusing for me to fight and defend.Why the hell are my men fighting against each other? It became apparent I made a mistake by recruiting men from outside. News could have gotten to Damien about this, and he might have managed to bring in some of the bad eggs into my ranks. Now, it is difficult for me to know who my men are and who they aren’t. It's impossible for me to know all my soldiers, but I know a few...I managed to find my way out of the crowd and stood in front of them as I watched my men fight each other."Retreat," I yelled. "By the order of the king, I command you all to retreat

    DamienI didn't mean to hit Venus like that, but the things he was saying weren't right.Venus was on the floor after I swung my hand at him unexpectedly, driving him off. He didn't just land on the ground; he hit a very heavy stone, which made it difficult for him to stand up for a moment. I didn't know how much damage my action caused him, but I didn't care.“So it was you? You killed my mother and laid the path for my own life, making me hate my family just to use me as your puppet, and now you want to abandon me… why, Serena?”“Damien, take it easy. Remember, I am your mother, and I know what is best for you. There is war in the vicinity; this is not the right time for us to turn against each other. Stop acting crazy, Damien,” she said.“No, you are not my mother; you are Serena, the evil witch who took over my life, and turned me into a monster, hurting the people that I thought were my family. You took my right from me, but it was you all along, you lying bitch!” I was about to

    EdwinaMy heart has not beaten normally since we set out on this journey. From the moment we left Galentia, I knew that my world was about to change, and I couldn't sit around without playing a part in it.The air became tense as we rode for Galentia. I wondered what was going through the minds of Edward and Alfie at the same time because I knew that my own heart was not settled, and it was hard to even pin down my thoughts. My thoughts were all over the place.It's time for Damien to die, and I'm afraid that we might not get it right this time because we have been missing it for a very long time. Damien has a powerful sorceress with him, and even though Edward managed to chase her home last time, we're not sure if she's still alive or not.I have zeroed my mind on any possibility of failing in the battle with Damien's life.This is it! I'm trusting Edward and Alfie to do a complete job. Edward is strong enough to take down Damien, and he has tried it before, but because there were so

    EDWARDWith the fastest of our horses and a determined resolve, we set off from Valencia to Avalor with swiftness.Every step of the journey, I pondered what to expect when we arrived in Avalor. I feared the worst outcome: that Damien had amassed more forces than we did, and perhaps he had bolstered his ranks with dark powers.I lack any dark powers myself, and I often wonder how I manage to face him. Whenever I confront him, I never dwell on whether I am strong enough to defeat him or not. I am always driven by the anger within me, always ready to inflict as much damage as possible, and that is exactly what I intend to do this time.I am in no mood for smiles; Damien has had enough respite, and now it is time for him to face his reckoning.As the night grew dark, we decided to take shelter in a small village on the outskirts.We built a fire, and the men set up camp all around. I am not afraid of the night or what dangers it may bring, for I have so many allies that it would take a g

    DamienMother is not taking this seriously, but Edward is already on his way here and it seems like he has a massive army.Some of my men are within his army, this is a tactic that I made a while ago, but why the hell does my heart still beat upon his arrival?I hurried downstairs to gather all my rogue army too. Edward is still far and hasn’t entered Avalor's gates, so there is still time for us to prepare.I had gotten a message earlier that Edward was coming today. How could I be so stupid to forget?This is all Mother’s fault… if I hadn’t been so distracted by her, seeking attention all the time, I would've remembered. I got this message a month ago that Edward would be arriving here on this day, but I totally forgot about it.Damn it!It is not too late. I ran outside and got all my men, telling them to guard the gates while I deal with Venus.I went back into the house to see that Venus was done packing his bag and changed into a different attire, ready to leave the house."You
