"And whatever it is that you have going on with Attus, it is in your best interests that you either hide better, or end it! My son will not be ridiculed by anybody while I have breath in my body. Especially not by the likes of you!" The Queen mother said, before she finally left the room.

I exhaled deeply and fell onto the sofa, grateful to not be in front of her anymore. I was really going to be getting married to the coldest, most brutal Alpha King known or ever spoken of.

I remembered being younger and reading a novel about the brutality of the Alpha King, who was a Prince back then because his father was still alive. During his fencing training, he insisted on the use of real swords, and always slaughtered his adversary.

The Alpha King, his father had been callous, but even he had been afraid of the fire in his then teenage son's blood. His mother had been very supportive of her son's barbarism, but much had not been said about her. The focus had been on the young Alpha Prince.

    The Alpha King yelled in frustration and let his fist into a glass vase in the room that was directly beside me. As I watched the vase shatter and then injure his knuckles, the drip of blood from them gave me more satisfaction than a fudge sundae on an intensely hot summer day. I laughed out loud, bending over and standing back up. "I thought as much, you bloody coward!" I said, and the Alpha King's eyes turned bloody and red from all the rage he felt. "You might think I'm young and gullible, Xavier, but I am not just some bimbo. I have known struggle. I have known fear and uncertainty. And I am learning everyday, to fight for whatever it is that I believe in."I stopped so I would not cry. "And I believe in myself. That is something no amount of cruelty to me, can take away from me." I completed, fanning my eyes with my hands to dry the well of tears in my eyes. I heard the Alpha King suddenly laugh, and I stopped to look at him. He laughed uproariously, "Is it not just immensely b

    After my talk with Martha, I paid a visit to the Alpha King's room. In order to help Martha and her sister Celine, I was going to have to ask for a huge favour from him. I knocked on his room, listening as my knock echoed on the inside of his large suite. There was no response, so I knocked again. The Alpha King actually walked over and opened the door himself, peeking out like he had something to hide. I looked at his head in mild confusion. "Can I come in? We need to talk about something very important." I said calmly, and he looked very guilty and uncomfortable. "Is the wine here, Xavi?" I heard a feminine voice ask from inside his suite, and it all made sense why he stood peeking out at me like an undressed woman. "Is that Morrigan?" I asked, as I pushed the door open to see for myself. There was Morrigan, completely naked and my god! She was beautiful. I stood, just staring at her firm and full breasts, the curve of her womanly hips. She had no cellulite, stretch mark or even

    "Can I talk to you about something though, Attus?" I asked suddenly, sitting up to show how serious I was. Attus chuckled deeply, "Is that supposed to be a riddle or a trick question? Of course you can always talk to me about anything above, beneath and on this earth." He said enthusiastically, and I smiled widely at him.Taking a deep breath, "I want to talk to you about a matter concerning my personal maid. She has informed me that the Queen Mother asked her to go back home for the six weeks that I am not to be here, and take them as her days off. Do these decisions have to be made without me being in the loop? Because I seem to just be thrown into things around here." I took a deep breath. "First, I was suddenly asked to meet this Miss Bo-ffet who did not seem to know what to do with her hands around Xavier. And who herself told me about the Royal Brides Academy, which I did not even know was a thing. Lady Cadbury was here too, talking about wedding dresses and themes and my drea

    The drive to the Academy was so long that I fell asleep and woke up over four times. Martha made sure to attend to all my needs, and make sure that I was well fed on the foods listed on the list permissible foods for the course. I felt a gentle tap on my back and I slowly opened my eyes. It was Martha, "Miss, we are here!" She whispered, and I could tell the excitement in her voice. She was more optimistic and thrilled about the whole exercise than I could ever be. I just wanted to be back in my room at the Castle, reading a good book, or in the TV room watching one of my favorite shows with Attus. The guard held open the limousine door, and I stepped out shyly, looking at the large and highly glamorous building before my eyes. There were royal people around, all wearing a beautiful purple suit dress in different style variations. The building had possibly over a million storeys.The floors were white marble with gold trim, which matched the color of the building itself. There was a

    The building Glenn pulled me to, seemed to be one of those old buildings that were built in the early 1900’s but redesigned to stay in tune with the current structural trends for houses. It had two floors with four storeys, each with two windows. A small balcony stood near the front door. There were several large wooden benches sitting near the edge of the porch. In the center of the building sat an outdoor fountain. We approached it as soon as we reached the sidewalk, Glenn, Mila, Martha and I, all looking over our shoulders to make sure that no one was behind us. This part of the campus seemed usually deserted. The fountain, named after its creator in a poem by Emily Dickinson, was filled with water from a hose that ran from the top down into a basin shaped like a heart. The bowl was filled with small stones that made a gentle tinkling noise when I moved them in any direction."What do we do here? I thought we had been heading to the part where there were lights, life, music and

    "Yes, Becky. I dreamt that they died." the thought alone filled me with so much mirth that I smiled very brightly. "I understand that you felt hurt, but why are you smiling so brightly while talking about the possible deaths of our parents? Was it really that bad?" Becky asked with a look of pure horror on her face. "Was it not that bad, Becky? I am not smiling at their deaths, but was it really not that bad?" I retorted. "Oh, it was?"Becky scoffed." Your experience for barely two weeks can never compare to what I have endured living in your shadow for all my life simply because I was not the special pup of legend…""But you did not fail to live up to the prophecy in front of the whole pack. Becky, you did not and still do not have the silver hair; a stamp of being cursed everywhere you go…""But are you not enjoying the hair? Look at how you've styled and embraced the look. My roomie cannot stop blabbering about how much she wants to get silver hair too like yours…" "Shut up, Bec

    The next morning, I was very eager to tell Martha about how I had run into my sister, but I thought better of it. If I talked to her about my sister, I would have to tell her so much more about my life before the Castle than I wanted to. Of course I trusted her, but I really just wanted to protect myself. When you have your family beat you to death and go to bury you in the forest, you just never heal from it. How was I even sure that buying Martha was enough for her to be loyal to me? If there was anything that time had taught me, it was that people were perpetually completely unknowable. I could never truly know the next person's heart's contents, no matter how much I liked them or they said they love me. "Ready for today's hassle? We're to be grouped into classes today based on how powerful or rich our soon to be Alpha husbands are." Glenn said as we stretched. I smiled, trying to be as quiet as possible and not get noticed by the yoga instructor at the front." Lower yourself i

    Together, we all made our way out of the room after Mila was done with Glenn's makeup. Glenn asked for red lipstick the same shade as mine.She looked like royalty in her dressing and her ponytail that showed off her blue eyes and her blonde features. We walked leisurely to the common area as we still had fifteen minutes to spare for dressing.The other girls were already waiting for the class distributions to begin. Mila and Glenn found a sofa, and we all sat on it, chatting animatedly."I feel very uncomfortable," Mila whispered. She had very bad social anxiety, which I could relate with. I held her left hand which was closest to me, and Glenn held her right hand. And Martha reached past my shoulders and rubbed Mila's."You are not alone, Mila. I will be with you wherever escorts go." Martha said soothingly, and Mila smiled broadly. I suddenly felt strange, b

    I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of

    As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c

    I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked."The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly."I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't

    Attus put a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry you've been going through all of that," he said. "But you're not alone. I'm here for you, and so are your friends and family."I leaned into him, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I said. "But sometimes it feels like that's not enough. I feel like I'm trapped here, with no escape."Attus was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then he spoke."I know we can't change everything that's going on in the castle," he said. "But we can try to make things better, in our own small way. We can spend more time together, and with our friends. We can support each other, and be there for each other."I looked up at him, feeling hopeful for the first time in a while. "You're right," I said. "We can do that. And maybe, in time, things will get better."Attus smiled at me, his brown eyes warm and reassuring. "I believe they will," he said. "We just have to take things one day at a time, and be there for each other along the way."I nodded, fee

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   The birth

    Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way. The midwife and nurses quickly arrived at Irene's chambers, trying their best to calm her down and carry her to the delivery room. It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water. Irene had insisted on a water birth, as she claimed it was the most natural and pain-free way to give birth. But as the contractions intensified, she began to regret her decision.The midwife and nurses did their best to support her through the labor, but it soon became clear that th

    Irene sneered down at the little girl. "I don't care what you meant. Just stay out of my way from now on, or you'll regret it."Luna ran off, sobbing uncontrollably, and Orion soon found her and asked her what had happened. When Luna told him, he became upset and ran off to find me. When he found me, he told me what had happened and I immediately went to find Irene."Irene, we need to talk," I said firmly, my eyes blazing with anger."What do you want?" Irene snapped, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly."I want to know why you slapped my daughter," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm."She got in my way, and I warned her to stay out of it," Irene replied, her voice dripping with disdain."That's not an excuse to hit a child," I said, my voice rising. "You could have hurt her. She's just a little girl.""She should know better than to get in my way," Irene said coldly. "I don't have time for her childish games.""She's just a child!" I exclaimed, my anger getting t

    "I'm sorry," I said again, my voice breaking. "I never meant to hurt you. I love you both so much."Luna and Orion clung to me tightly, their tears soaking my hospital gown. I could feel the warmth of their bodies, the beating of their hearts, and I knew that I never wanted to lose them again.As we sat there, huddled together in my hospital bed, I realized just how much I had to be grateful for. Despite my struggles, I still had the love and support of my children, my family, and my friends. And as I looked at Luna and Orion's tear-streaked faces, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to make things right."I promise to do better," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I promise to fight my addiction and be the best mother I can be."Luna looked up at me, her eyes wide with hope. "You mean it, Mommy?""I do," I replied firmly. "I'm going to get better for you and your brother. I want to be here for all the good moments, to watch you grow up and become the amazing people I kn

    I lay in the hospital bed, feeling alone and ashamed, and I knew that I had to face my husband and own up to my mistakes. I couldn't continue to hide from him, couldn't continue to avoid the consequences of my actions.As he walked into the room, I could see the anger in his eyes, the disappointment etched on his face. He stood beside my bed, his arms crossed over his chest, and I knew that I was in for a stern lecture.He spoke to me in a voice that was both stern and compassionate, reminding me of my responsibilities as his wife and as the Queen of our kingdom. He told me that my actions had consequences, not just for myself but for our entire kingdom, and that I needed to take responsibility for my mistakes.I listened to his words, feeling the weight of his disappointment bearing down on me. I knew that I had let him down, that I had failed in my duties as his wife and as a leader in our kingdom.But even as he spoke, I could see the love and concern in his eyes, and I knew that h

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   Awaken

    As I awaken in the hospital room, I am greeted by the sight of white walls and fluorescent lights. The room was small, with a single bed in the center, and medical equipment scattered throughout the space. I felt groggy, my head aching, and my stomach churning. The events leading up to my hospitalization were hazy, but a dull ache in my chest reminded me of the intense emotions that I was experiencing.As I looked around the room, my eyes caught a glimpse of the ashtray sitting on the bedside table. I reached out and picked up the ashtray, examining the contents. It was filled with cigarette butts, and the stench of smoke filled the air. I realized that I must have smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, one after the other, in an attempt to drown out my thoughts and emotions.I remembered taking swigs from a bottle of vodka, the warmth of the liquid filling my stomach as the alcohol took effect. I felt numb and detached from my surroundings, lost in a sea of self-pity and despair.Tears
