It was late at night and Nicklaus lay on his bed, unable to sleep. Something bothered him. Was it the fact that he was going back home? Or the fact that Anders and his family believed that he was a witch? It was more likely that he was the demon or demon hybrid son than a witch, he thought.

Leaving the room Nicklaus decided to go out for a while. The wind was cold and blew his hair onto his face. As he drew his hair back he thought about cutting it. Having it this long would only make people suspect him of being royalty or someone very wealthy. Besides he found it difficult to keep it clean now that he had to do it himself.

He looked up the sky. It was dark with only a few shining stars and the moon hid behind the clouds. Soon the winter would come with it's cold.

"Aren't you cold?" Matilda came and stood next to him. She had a shawl wrapped around her shoulders which she held tightly.

"No." He never felt too cold or too hot. That was one of the many strange things about him.

    What was this feeling? This scent? It was so...so familiar. This whole situation felt so familiar that it was almost scary. Before Tiana could understand what was happening someone grabbed her by the arm and pushed her back so hard she almost fell backward."Are you blind?" A woman with short braids dressed in military attire glared at her looking furious. Staggering backward Tiana grabbed onto the handrail as to not fall."Look at what you have done." She said turning to the man who had saved her. "Are you okay, Your Highness?" Bending down she brushed his clothes off.Your Highness? Tiana looked at her savior, a tall man, probably in his mid-thirties dressed in the most luxurious clothes she had seen... now soaked with tea.Oh God! She was done for!

    Nicklaus tried to pay attention to what his brother was saying but his mind kept drifting back her, the maid who had spilled tea on him. For some strange reason he had felt a sting of pain when Alexandra had slapped her and when her eyes welled with tears, anger filled his chest. But why he couldn't' understand. He certainly didn't know her and he couldn't say he felt attracted to her. Or did he?She didn't look attractive to him. She was too thin for his taste, almost as if she had been starved. Her hair was short and ragged and her complexion looked rather unhealthy. She had dark spots under her eyes and her lips were chapped, yet he hadn't been able to stop himself from staring at her.Something about her drew him in. Was it the innocence in her big beautiful hazel eyes? Or was he intrigued by the way she kept her calm even though she was going to get punished? Either Way, he couldn't stop thinking about her.What was her name? Nicklaus wondered but then scolded himself for being d

    "I am your wife."Tiana was shocked by her own words as if she didn't say them herself but got possessed by someone else. Even though the man in front of her looked nothing like Nicklaus, every nerve in her body told her it was him.His voice, his scent, the way he had kissed her and how he made her heart race and her body tingle. It had to be Nicklaus, but the way he was looking at her now as if she was a complete stranger broke her heart. Maybe it wasn't him after all, but why was her gut telling her otherwise.No, Nicklaus would never pretend like he didn't know her which means that she had just kissed another man. That… wait my disguise maybe he doesn’t recognize me because of it.Tiana thought and she quickly removed her disguise on her face leaving the eyes coz her husband didn’t know about her golden eye color. It me, your wife looks,” Tiana said when she was done removing her disguise.But when she didn’t get the reaction she was imagining, Tiana felt like cold water was pour

    Who are you? That was the question Kwan asked himself as he stared at his reflection. He didn't recognize himself anymore.

Since he met the werewolf princess he had been unable to think of anything else but her.Every day since she left Kwan had watched her, spending her days alone in her room where her brother had locked her up. He had found a suitable husband for her and would keep her locked up until she got married. For some reason, the idea of her getting married and belonging to someone else made him uneasy.

    “Nicklaus…It me Tiana…”The world went suddenly still around Nicklaus and the only thing he could hear was his name echoing through the silence. He wasn't sure if he heard it right or if it was all in his head. How could she know his name? His real name.Slowly he turned around, his heart beating erratically inside his chest. Tiana still held onto his arm and her eyes swirled with so many emotions and unanswered questions. Nicklaus had his own unanswered questions. Who was this woman and how did she know his name?"My name is Henry." Nicklaus tried to correct her but she shook her head. She didn't believe him."No...no…" a tear fell down her cheek "you are Nicklaus… Klaus...my husband."Husband? Nicklaus laughed nervously."Okay, it's enough." He said pulling his arm away and turning around to leave but Tiana stopped him again by suddenly wrapping her arm around his waist from behind.Nicklaus froze in place shocked by her action.

    "Where are we going?" Rita asked as she followed Kwan through the dark forest."You will see once we get there." He said. Late at night, in the forest, alone without a weapon and with a man who could fight ten men on his own was maybe not a great idea after all.Rita began to calculate all the possible ways she could defend herself if he ever tried to do anything."What did you do to the guards?" she asked. While they were escaping she noticed that all the guards lay unmoving on the ground."I put them to sleep." He said simply"How? I thought you couldn't use magic.""No... but I sang them a lullaby."Even though Rita couldn't see him clearly in the darkness she knew he had a smirk in his face. Not wanting to be mocked anymore she continued is silence.Meanwhile, she tried to find the perfect opportunity to escape but it was so dark she was afraid to leave Kwan’s side. Once the sun rises she would escape she thought to herself."Here." Roshan said as he came to a halt and turned to h

    Rita was surprised to find Reilla like this. She barely recognized her. Reilla looked frightening. She was pale, her hair was ragged and her face was covered in tears, but that's not what frightened Rita. It was her eyes. Reilla’s eyes looked dead, as if her soul had left her body. Reilla stared at Rita yet it seemed she wasn't looking at her, but right through her.Rita wondered what happened so she slowly walked inside. "Reilla?" she called hesitantly. When she got no reply she approached Reilla slowly."Is something wrong? Are you okay?"A single tear ran down her cheek. "He is dead!" She said her voice void of any emotion."Who is dead?" Rita asked confused."My son." It was almost a whisper.Reilla had a son? Rita didn't know and she didn't know how to console Reilla either.Suddenly Reilla shifted her gaze and looked right at Rita. The looked in her eyes sent a shiver down Rita’s spine."You…" She said and Rita realized she was in danger even though she didn't know what wrong sh

    "Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled. "Okay Klaus give the baby to the midwife so she could clean her and then I can feed her.” She said and Nicklaus unwillingly handed Briella over to the midwife carefully.But he had forever to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold both his daughter and wife in his arms. As they lay in their bed, Nicklaus leaned in and planted a kiss on Tiana’s forehead."Thank you for this beautiful gift. Love you so much wife." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them."Love you too Klaus…" Was all Tiana said, as she was falling asleep as well.

    And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th

She found it funny that this was the reason why rite was so distracted. Derek and Kwan had been together during the war and even if he didn’t know about Kwan’s true nature in the past, he would have learnt about it during the war in human land. so hearing Rita’s concern, Tiana found it cute but she could not blame her, the woman was not there during the war, and dint know what might have happened there so too her, she still thinks her brother who is the ruler of all werewolves doesn’t know about demons and that Kwan is one of them.
