MiaI looked at the new quarters we would be living in and smiled to myself. It was nice to be out in the open and breathe the fresh outside air. Staying in the prison for those few days made me appreciate my freedom better.I looked around our new home, my lips curved with excitement as I checked out the surroundings. I wanted to jump up and down as I was that excited. It felt so good to be free that I felt tears pricking my eyelids and quickly looked away before the boys saw it and started wondering what was wrong with me.I already knew which part of the house was going to be my room. I couldn't wait for Rudolph to finish the tour of the environment that he was giving us and move into the house. I wanted to check out the rooms but I didn't want to rush in and betray my emotions that I was excited."I'm sorry on behalf of the king and the people of how we had treated you." Rudolph said.I sighed and rolled my eyes, wondering when the guy was going to stop. He had never stopped mutte
EthanI woke up with a gasp. I kept doing that lately, sleeping most of the day away. Well, I had nothing else to do. Rudolph had canceled all my court meetings and there was nothing else I had to do but sleep, eat, talk with Rudolph or Ava anytime they come to my room.I always waited for them to come and if they didn't. That was the end of it for me. I was going to be bored for the whole day. I couldn't walk out of my palace as I used to - the part of me that was me couldn't - as I was too ashamed to face my people.The other day that I had decided to take a stroll in the palace, I had overheard some of the maids talking of how I was slowly getting crazy and wondered what was going to happen to the kingdom if I didn't get better. I had sighed and turned back to my chambers, promising myself that I wasn't going to ever get out again.It had been a surprise when I had woken up to find memories that I had no idea of in my brain as usual. I had groaned when I realized that I had gone ou
MiaI was a genius. I smiled as I walked to the quarters where the boys were. They rushed out as soon as they heard my footsteps and engulfed me in a tight bear hug. I chuckled at their show of emotions."Thank goodness. You are back.""Now I can breathe properly.""I didn't think that I slept or ate well all these days."I chuckled at their words. "Calm down, guys. I've only been serving tea to the king. You have nothing to worry about.""You said you were going to be back every evening." Jack reminded me."I am sorry. I couldn't come.""How is he? The king?"I nodded. "He is fine. He is more of himself lately.""I haven't seen him lately. I don't think he has meetings."I nodded again. "I think the tea is making him weak. He stays in bed mostly through the day. Hopefully, we can force the dark wizard out of his body soon and we can get rid of him.""Good." Quinn nodded and sighed, rubbing his chin and I wondered what he was thinking of."I need more of the sap.""Mia!" John gasped.
QuinnAva had made the right choice. She had allowed the continuation of the tea. Well, she had no choice with how persuasive Mia was. Even Rudolph had been bought over when he heard how convinced Mia was. He had been forced to believe that she knew what she was doing.It had been a battle trying to stop myself from laughing out loud despite the dire circumstances as I watched the interaction with the vampires. I wanted to ask her when she became a doctor in supernatural medicine as a joke but I knew that she wouldn't like it. She was invested in this project that I suspected that it was more than healing the vampire king. She wanted to prove a point as well, to herself and others that her idea had validity. This was a personal research for Mia and I didn't know if I should pity the vampire king or feel envious of him for being Mia's lab subject.I decided to pity him. He was Mia's guinea pig and no matter how much I loved Mia, I didn't think that I wanted to be in the position that
MiaI woke up, surprised that I was in my bedroom, the one I had picked for myself in the house before the king decided to make me his court maid and I became his unofficial resident doctor. I didn't know if I had passed out while shifting or had fallen asleep when I was done.I wondered if the boys had had a rough night staying by my side. I wondered how long I was a wolf for and kept them awake. They must have waited all night with me as one of them definitely got me inside and tucked me in bed.With the way I was naked, the shift must have been successful and I had lost my clothes. I groaned, lamenting the loss of my clothes. I loved those clothes and wouldn't have worn them if I had known that I was going to shift that night.I sighed, feeling silly. I should have been conscious of the full moon and knew what day it was. I had known that I was going to shift ever since the wolves had bitten me. Why couldn't I remember that? I snorted, getting over my sulk. It was just a gown and i
AvaI couldn't stop wondering if I had made the right choice by letting the werewolf girl continue the treatment on Ethan. I needed someone to tell me that I had made the right choice.I had found it hard to believe when Rudolph had sat me down and told me what he had learned from the werewolves. It had been a hard pill to swallow but yet it had been easy to accept when I thought of all the strange attitude that Ethan had exhibited. It wasn't likely that everything was because of the fall as we had excused him when he started acting differently. He wasn't the first to fall so why would he be different?I should have suspected that something was wrong with him when he had gone out of the city to raid the house of the werewolves he never knew. It was my fault that I didn't caution him harder when he had started throwing his people into the dungeon for reasons that were irritable to the ears. His reasons were all excuses and he was only acting out as a bully towards his people.I should
MiaI frowned as I looked at the lightning streaking in the sky, it was bright enough that it made the night look like the day even though it was well way past dusk. I winced as I heard the thunder rumbling loudly in the sky as well.I had never been afraid of thunder but this wasn't part of it. I shivered and ran my hands over my shoulders, wiping the sweats off my palms with my clothes.Quinn noticed and moved closer to me. "Are you fine?"I shook my head. "I don't think I am.""What happened? I didn't think you were afraid of the thunder."I shook my head. "I didn't think so too.""But you are at the moment?""It seems like that.""Okay." He nodded. "Come over here."What could I have said to that? I moved closer to him and jumped into his arms. I smiled as I sat between his legs and he wrapped his hands around me."Feeling better now?"I nodded, smiling like an idiot. "Yes.""Good."It felt good to have his arms around me. I could focus on his warmth, scent and breath slightly tea
MiaWe all moved to the bedroom of the king, armed with nothing but our determination and the sap. Today was the D-Day. It was today and no other day else. The dark wizard was going out and down today. We had all had enough.Ava was already seated in the room at the edge on Ethan's bed and cleaning his body as she gazed at him lovingly with love. I pitied her the most of everyone that was concerned in this matter. It must be hard on her though she pretended as if it wasn't but I knew that she must surely have her own days that she would break down in secret.I saluted her courage and strength and respected her for that. I couldn't imagine that it was one of the boys that was in the state that Ethan was, I would have lost it even though I still had two to worry about.I couldn't imagine how she must feel, watching the only man she loved sleeping there, unconscious and fighting for his identity. It hurt that we had no idea of the battles Ethan was dealing with in his head. I hoped that
