- Giselle -

I had not noticed someone was sitting on a stool in the corner of my room.

"How did you get in here?" I asked, my hands falling to my sides. When his eyes met mine, cold shivers ran down my spine. His countenance was not as soft as before. Standing before him now, I felt just like I would in my life before.

"You did not tell me if you enjoyed your dinner?" Alpha Franklin asked again, unsmiling. I did not know what to say.

He stood up and walked towards the door where I stood, I quickly shifted.

"Can you leave now?" I said quietly and his gaze softened, sadly.

"Are you sending me away?" He asked.

"No," I swallowed hard. "But you shouldn't be seen here."

"Why?" While he spoke, he kept moving close to me and I tried moving away till I was against the wall.

"This is not right," It was a desperate appeal. He was closing in on me.

"What is not right?" His voice was dangerously low and... seductive!

"What if someone finds you here?" I asked trying to say something, anything at al

    - Kira -I was worried about everything that's happened. Xavier promised me he was going to stand by me and make sure I get married to him, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.I was tired of people pointing accusing fingers at me, and worse still, I had to serve Giselle, for I am her personal maid.I wanted to be relieved of my duties, but that can only happen when I am official with Xavier. I decided to take matters into my own hands. Xavier had promised to talk to his father but since he was not yielding, I might try getting to him myself.If only I could get Alpha Franklin to approve of me, I would not have to worry about anything anymore.I took my time and prepared a special meal for him. After carefully arranging it in a tray, I went to his room and the guards let me in.He seemed busy on his study table. I let out a deep shaky breath before I approached him."Greetings, alpha," I bowed lowly, noticing the tray shaking in my hands. He did not reply. "I prepared t

    - King Marcus -I racked my head while I was seated with the emissaries, royal men from four different packs who had come to me with some matters at hand.I knew they held me with great esteem to have tabled the matter before me; therefore, I wanted to give a befitting answer but was finding it difficult to make a decision.King Franklin and his son were there as well, as my guest. Another reason these packs had come was because they had words Alpha Franklin was around."Greetings, Father," I heard Giselle's voice across the room and all heads turned to her. She was elegantly dressed. She walked in fully to the room and greeted everyone respectfully."The princess is so pretty," there were low murmurings in the hall when I introduced everyone to her, and they nodded their heads with approval."We've heard a lot about the princess," someone commented. "We did not expect any less and she meets it up.""Thank you," I said and returned to the main discussion after the brief distraction.-

    Chapter 13- Franklin -"Alpha, everything has been put in place, and your ride is ready for the journey tomorrow," One of my guards told me, and I nodded.Just then, King Marcus walked in."I see you have everything set for your journey," he commented."Yes, I do," I affirmed. "I will be leaving first thing tomorrow in the morning.""I was enjoying your company, really. I hoped you could stay much longer," he said."I wish the same, but something came up which requires my presence. Since Xavier is here, he can cover up where needs be and it will enable him to bond well with the princess.""Well if you say so. I just want to make sure everything you need for your journey is intact.""Yes it is," I replied, looking around."Alright then. Have a peaceful night's rest," he bid me goodbye and headed for the door. I escorted him out and closed it behind him.I was almost tempted to ask if the Princess cared to ask about me, but I was able to hold myself. I walked to the wardrobe to change

    Chapter 14- Giselle -What did I just do? I gathered the sheets to cover my bare chest. I allowed Franklin to make love to me...what was I thinking?But despite that, I tried to will myself to feel some shame; I was excited instead. What the hell is wrong with me?"Giselle..." Franklin's deep voice jolted me off my thoughts. "What are you thinking about?""We shouldn't have done this," I said, sounding as remorseful as I could. "This is wrong. What will my father think? What will everyone think?""Hey, calm down," he said, and his voice was the most soothing sound ever. "Look at me."I couldn't, I looked in every direction but his face. He moved his body closer and I felt chills."Why don't you look at me?" He spoke again and lifted his hand to my chin. He turned my face towards him."You're so beautiful," he said. In a few seconds, he was able to deviate my mind from the worry I harbour. I couldn't help the blush. "Your father doesn't have to know about this unless you want him to.

    - Giselle -I sneaked back into my room to find Kira patroling like a paid detective. I addressed her with a frown."What are you doing here?" I asked and she jumped. She had not noticed me walk in."Good morning Princess," she greeted, her eyes darting around. "I am here to clean your room."I eyed her because it did not seem like it. She seemed to be looking for what was not lost. I walked fully into the room, clutching to my nightwear which was squeezed under the desperate grabs of Franklin's hands.I felt Kira's eyes steadily on me as I passed her. I tried to pretend I did not notice her but her persistent glare made me ask."Why are you looking at me that way?" I wondered."Nothing my princess," she bowed. After a few seconds of silence, she decided she could not hold her curiosity in anymore."My princess, you were not in your room this morning when I came. Did you spend the night somewhere?"I jolted my head up at her question."Where else will I have spent the night?" I threw

    - Franklin -My eyes did not leave Giselle when she walked away from the dining, and I found her later in the day in the garden."My pretty witch," I called out as I strolled over to her."Are you stalking me?" She narrowed her eyes at me."No," I raised my hands in mid-air. "Why?""Because you are everywhere," she said. "You manage to find me wherever I am.""It's no fault of mine that your scent is so strong I cannot pretend not to notice when I pass by," I told her, and she suppressed a smile.I took a few paces closer and moved her hair away."What are you doing?" She whispered."Why do you hide my mark," I asked."You are very adamant," she shook her head. "You don't know how my father and the people will take this. What about your son?""When it comes to you, permit me to say I am shameless," I stated and she moved away."We can't be seen close to each other like this," she looked away. "Rumours will begin to fly around.""Well, nobody needs to know," I placed my hands behind my

    - Kira -I was making progress going after Giselle, and we had made it towards the end of the building. All the while, she did not know that I was behind her."Who's there?" A voice made me come to an abrupt halt. "Hey! What are you doing there?"I turned round up to see two soldiers approaching me."Hi," I turned to them nervously and tried to look as normal as possible."What are you doing here?" They asked unsmiling."Oh that, yeah," I scratched my head and looked back. The princess was not in sight anymore. "I am going for a stroll."The guards turned up to look at each other."For a stroll?" One repeated. "By this time?""I was finding it difficult to sleep so I wanted to clear my head," I told them."This is not allowed," They told me sternly. "You cannot be moving around by this time of the night. Besides, you are a woman. Something might happen to you. Go back to your quarters now.""Sure," I smiled at them and returned while they watched me leave.Shit!If only I knew another

    - Xavier -Not long after a maid served the wine I asked for, Kira came to the room and stood over me without a word."Are you okay?" I asked and tried to take her hands but she pushed me away."Xavier, tell me the truth," she demanded and I sighed. Not again."Kira, do we have to go over this?" I ran my hand through my hair. I was tired of her consistent naggings."Are you seeing the princess?" She asked, looking me straight in the eyes accusingly."What kind of question is that?" I asked, knowing it was possible she did not miss a thing."Just answer me, Xavier. And tell me the truth. Stop playing with my feelings," she was already getting teary. "First, it was the dinner, and now you are sneaking out at night with her?"I creased my brow in confusion."Sneaking out at night with her?" "Oh don't play dumb. You know what I am talking about," she maintained."No I don't," I insisted, wondering where Kira got her information from. I did wanted to see Giselle last night, but I was not

    - Giselle -I stopped to glare at her."What now? You don't want to go? Scared you have a skeleton in your cupboard?" She said mockingly."You know what? That's actually a good point. We should check my room then," I agreed to it and dashed out.I did not look back to check if they were following me, but they were, all three of them. I expected Father to have ended this here, to tell me there was no need for me to prove anything, but no, it seems he was more interested in the evidence than everyone else.Franklin was putting a few things in order when we walked in and he looked at us with a confused expression on his face."What's the matter?" He asked, looking at me."Father thinks I did not put Kira through for the meeting she went for and she told him that even when I did. I tried to let father know the truth but it's difficult. Now I have to prove the file is not with me, so he might believe I did take it to her," I explained."Why don't you check with her?" Franklin asked like a

    - Giselle -So I had to go to Kira's room, father following closely behind. Everything happening before me was very funny like I was watching a movie or something. The fact that Father was even behind me to confirm that I did take the file to Kira was more ridiculous.Anyway, we got there and I knocked impatiently at her door. Kira appeared with an innocent look on her face one wouldn't believe she lied about me coming to her."Is anything the matter?" She asked with feigned confusion."Kira, did you-" I started when Father cut me short."Can you let us in?" He said and she opened the door wider."Sure," she said. "Come in."We entered and she closed the door."Giselle, please repeat what you told me in my room," Father said, and I turned to her."Kira, before you headed for this meeting with Father, I came to you in your room and told you I needed to put you through before you left, and you said you did not need me to do that, yet you told Father otherwise?"She blinked her eyes rapi

    - Giselle -"Giselle? Darling?" I heard someone call my name in my sleep and a familiar scent hit my nose. "Honey wake up.""No please," I said sleepily, turning to the other side of the bed."It's morning. Remember you said you wanted to make breakfast for your father? Look the sun is already shining."And to that, I jumped up and looked around. Truly, the sun was shining outside already."Oh my goodness, why didn't you wake me up since?" I turned with accusing eyes to Franklin and he looked stunned."I tried several times but you just wouldn't get up. Even now, you do not want to. You should be thanking me."I rushed out of the room to prepare something for my father. I decided to because he looked exhausted from yesterday's meeting and I didn't want him to stress any much today.I hurried to his room with the light breakfast I could afford to prepare with time. He was already up and looked like he had freshened up.Oh, Giselle, why are you such a sleepyhead? I chided myself. Thankf

    - Kira -I was up very early the next morning as Mother had instructed and dressed to meet King Markus, my father, just like we had planned.She walked into the room when I was almost done with a tray of hot food."Are you ready?" She asked and I nodded."Good. I'm done as well.""But mum, I am a bit sceptical," I told her. "Is this really a good plan? What if it doesn't turn out well?""Trust me it will. Just do as I say, sit back, relax and see how the drama unfolds.""I am just saying because I know how the King loves Giselle so much," I stated."The king is also your father. You should never forget that. Besides, can't you see how much he is trying to prove to you he loves you? He'd do anything to gain your love as well.""But where Giselle is concerned? I might not be able to compete with her," I complained. Mother frowned deeply."Why are you so pessimistic? You have to see yourself as important as well. It is the way you carry yourself that others will relate to you. And if you

    - Markus -The ride back home was accompanied by silence, and I could understand why Kira would not want to say anything.Perhaps, she was buried in her thoughts as much as I was. I will have to make her understand that things happen for good and that she should not keep feeling bad because of the previous incident.Nobody became an important and respected figure in one day. They earned it. Even if one was already born into a royal home, they would still have to work to maintain it."Uhm, Dad?" She called after a long while in a small voice."Yes, sweetheart?" I looked at her."Are you upset with me?" She asked."Why?" I wondered aloud."I mean, because of what happened at the meeting. I am very sure you are very disappointed and upset. I did not mean for that to happen, really. I am so sorry.""Oh no darling," I smiled at her. "It's fine. Nothing is your fault and I do not regret taking you with me. If I had my way, I would take you everywhere I go.""Thank you so much, dad.""Listen

    - Markus -While Sheka spoke to me, my mind was distracted because I was looking around for Kira. It's been a while since she stepped out and had not returned. I knew well she was not familiar with this environment, and if she wandered too far, she would be lost.The building is quite large, and it would be a double standard embarrassment to start looking for her after the first that happened during the meeting.I was worried she was sulking somewhere."So King Marcus, I am going to relay the next appointment and please, make sure to come along with Princess Giselle. We would have been over with this if only you did," Sheka said and I nodded."Of course, you said that already. I definitely will," I told him."Though we are acquaintances when it comes to my business, you know how professional I can be," he said. "Now that we are having a casual chat, why don't you tell me about this daughter of yours? I mean, all I have heard is rumors but now I have the opportunity to hear it from you

    - Kira -I let out three deep breaths immediately, I got out of the huge building. The darkness had begun to set in and the lights around illuminated the building beautifully.But all these were none of my concern. It was the humiliation back in there that suffocated me more than the fresh air from all the trees here despite the wind blowing in every direction.I should have just stayed back home but no, I was happy to have replaced Giselle and now this. What can take this shame away? Absolutely nothing. I just came here to disgrace myself and I did.Everyone would mock me if they heard this, and Giselle would have a good laugh, of course."So? Princess?" I heard someone say and turned round to look. I was alarmed because I did not know anyone there. A young man was looking at me with a mischievous smile on his face."Who are you?""Prince Morgan," he replied with a feeling of importance. "And I am the team awarding your father this contract."I eyed him."Oh," I said shortly."You're

    - Kira -It was the day for the meeting and contrary to the confidence I had felt before now, I became jittery.The ride was prepared and we set out with many guards. Now alone with King Marcus on the ride, I realised how lonely I was.We were going out of the pack. My subconsciousness had to remind me at a critical moment like this that even if I am no longer a maid, I am still a princess recognised only in my own pack and not beyond.I tried to shove off the negative thoughts. I will do fine, I assured myself."How are you holding up there?" King Marcus asked and I managed a smile."I'm doing just fine," I replied, glad my voice did not shake because I was shaking inside like I had a cold.The realisation just dawned on me now that this is more serious than I thought. The atmosphere, the carriage, the expensive attires, the scent of the air around me, everything.Gosh, I should have dropped whatever feeling and pride and listened to Giselle's lectures at least. I saw her look as we
