- 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

    - Kira -Yes!The good thing, too, is Alpha Franklin will be the first to notice her indecent behaviour at the table. She is just about to be disgraced.I quickly walked out of the hall so that somehow, someone would not pin it on me. Before they can find someone to help the princess out of her mess and take her to her room, everyone would have to watch her.- Franklin -My eyes were steadily and discreetly on Giselle as always. I couldn't get my eyes off her and at the same time, I couldn't let someone see me staring at her less they raise questioning brows.While she talked with the royalties with elegance, I smiled to myself, loving her pose and carriage.When she began to laugh unnecessarily at things that were not meant to be jokes, I noticed that something was off.I had to check that she had not taken too much and was acting under the influence. I walked over to her side of the table to take her away."Excuse me, Princess," I called and she turned to look at me, her eyes unusua

    - Franklin -"Good morning, Father," Xavier entered my room grumpily."What's with you, young man?" I asked him with a raised brow. "You've had this long face since last night at the table when you retired to bed and this morning too?"I was beginning to wonder if he had seen me with Giselle."Yesterday at the table, you tried to make an impression before Giselle's father and everyone there that you cared about the princess and is more responsible than me," he complained. "If you had noticed that she was not feeling well, the best you could do for me was come get me to help her.""Really," I narrowed my eyes thoughtfully."I have been trying so hard with the princess, but she keeps pushing me away. Especially when these noblemen come around. I need them to know that I am with the princess so they can accord me some respect too but every time I am being kept at a side.""So this is what it is now," I stated. "You want to do this not because you care about the princess but because you w

    - Giselle -The guards looked at me in uncertainty when I stood in front of Franklin's door."Princess, I am so sorry, but the Alpha is in meditation, and he has strongly ordered that no one be let in," One of the guards told me politely."Oh, that's fine. I will just come back later or..."Franklin called the guard from inside and he ran in. He returned shortly after."You can go in now," the guard told me and I smiled.Franklin was looking towards the door, and his face lit up immediately. I walked through it."Good morning Princess," he greeted as I walked towards him."Good morning," I couldn't help but smile back at him."I hope you are feeling much better now?" He asked and held out his hand to me."Yes, I am," I replied as I took his hand, and he squeezed it gently. I remembered."What happened to me last night?" I asked and he grinned at me."You was drunk," he told me and I narrowed my eyes."Drunk?" Then it seemed to dawn on me more now and my eyes widened. "Drunk?" I asked

    - Giselle -Everyone was looking at me with accusations in their eyes. I did not even know where to start explaining. I had no idea how the emerald got into my room. I looked at Franklin, wondering what was going on through his mind."Father, you know I wouldn't do this, right?" I looked at my father for support but even if he would, he was held back by what the people would think."I'm so sorry everyone," Franklin finally spoke. "I just remember now that I had gifted this Emerald to the Princess the first day we arrived here.""If you did, how come both of you cannot remember the same jewellery?" Xavier threw in."I gave her so many gifts. It's not her fault that she cannot remember," Franklin said to my defence again."Well," Father sighed wearily. "Next time, please try to be sure because these kinds of things can be very delicate. I almost had a heart attack because this sort has never happened here before.""I apologise for this misunderstanding and for the inconveniences this mu

    - Xavier -I could not get over what Kira told me. Giselle had a secret lover? That cannot be. I have not seen her with any man nor heard her speak about anyone, so why this?And that is why it is called a secret lover, my subconsciousness reminded me and I hissed with annoyance.If this is true then it cannot be good. What will happen to all my plans? I couldn't help but wonder who the princess was seeing as well.What did he have better than me that she chose him instead? Was that the reason why she acted as if she could not stand me?No, I cannot take this. This is an insult to my person. What will people say? Not after when her father had made me make moves towards our relationship. I would like to know if he knows about this too and I cannot allow itNow that Kira had given me the information, I wanted to find out more. I would be restless until I was sure the princess was doing otherwise.I decided to confront her and she had better have a reasonable explanation.- Giselle -My

    - Giselle -The darkness that enveloped me was not as real as the feeling I got when I looked down and saw myself in the familiar tattered and faded gown I wore very often as I maid. I could not find any of those long flowing royal gowns anywhere."Don't stand there looking," someone called to me. "We have a lot of work to do. A large portion of the palace has not been cleaned."I don't understand...What's happening? Did I return to being a maid again? I remember this so well. My heart raced with fear.Just a while ago, I was a princess, and now this?"What's with you?" One of the maids shook me off my thoughts. "What are you thinking about.""I'm a maid?" I asked, unable to understand what had happened. The other maid looked at me quizzically."You have always been a maid," she replied. "Where is this question coming from?'I still did not understand. It can't be. Just now I was the Princess."When you finish mopping that, Princess Kira wants to see you. So make sure you are done on

    - Kira -I prepared some food for Aunt Cleopatra or should I rather say, my mother-in-law-to-be, and took it to her room.Everywhere smelled of a mixture of smoke and mint and she was wearing a short black dress. She did not look like a mother at all. She looked like a badass divorced woman who doesn't take any mess from anyone.Her presence filled me with so much uncertainty and the thought of the things she could do. She replaced her child with her brother's and for years no one knew anything.Somehow, I was glad I was on her team because I couldn't imagine being on the bad side of such a woman."I made you something to eat," I told her and was surprised at the crack in my voice despite all the confidence I had mustered."Sit," she said shortly and I found a stool close to her wardrobe."I am sure by now you know who I really am to Xavier," she started and I nodded."Yes ma'am.""You can call me Cleopatra. Cleo for short.""Alright.""And Xavier tells me you are a mate," she comment

    - Kira -I wanted to see Xavier and heard him talking with someone when I got to his door and recognized the voice as his aunt's. I was just about to leave and return later when they were done talking but something caught my ears.I heard him call her mother and I was stunned. I leaned forward towards the door to be sure I heard well and they were talking as mother and child.I noticed the door was open and pulled the knob quietly. I walked in fully with a confused look on my face. At first, they did not notice me and I had to speak when I couldn't hold in the confusion. "What is going on here?" I asked and Xavier turned to look at me."Kira? For how long have you been here?" He asked back and I shook my head."I don't understand. Why are you referring to her as your mother?""She doesn't know," the older woman stated and then asked and Xavier sighed."Not yet," he replied."Doesn't know what?" Nothing was making any sense. "Xavier I thought you said she was your father's sister?""T

    - Franklin -Cleopatra was coming? She is my only sister but at this point, I don't think I am ready to have her around, not now. Somehow, for some reason, I really can't tell. But if she's on her way here already, I cannot stop her.I had better let Giselle know about it. She looked a bit nervous when I told her."I never really thought you had a sibling," she said uncertainly."Cleo has been away for a couple of years and she doesn't come around often. You wouldn't know her. Many people don't. She's my elder sister.""Wow..." She muttered and I held her close."Come on, it's nothing to worry about. At least, she's family. You should be happy to meet her.""I don't know. It's just that, I don't know what to expect when I meet her," she said, looking up at me."I understand. But I can almost assure you, you two will get along. Sometimes she can be over but it's not really that bad.""I hope so," she managed a smile. "Well, since you said she'd be here soon I will just go prepare a mea

    - Xavier -"Is there anything else you would like me to do for you, my queen?" A maid asked Giselle and she shook her head."I will let you know when I need anything, thank you," she said and the maid walked away. She rested her hand on the stairs and looked down at the pack. Her face fell into a frown when she turned to look at me."Do you like what you see?" I asked her casually."I do," she did not deny. "It's beautiful.""Indeed. I'm sure this is what you have ever wanted in your life and that's why you had to step so low and sleep with my father so you can be here.""It's worth it," she shrugged with a mocking smile."You don't belong here," I told her sternly. "A few weeks ago, I was a visitor in your pack and now you are a visitor in mine as well.""No you are wrong," she waved a finger to my face. "I am not a visitor. I am here to stay."I laughed."And you think I am going to let you? This is my pack, Giselle. And I am the crowned prince, the Alpha of this pack. If you don't

    - Frederick - "When are you going to see your father?" I asked Sia as she walked into the room. She dropped the Small basket she was holding and faced me with her hands akimbo. "Why?" She asked back. "Just answer the damn question, you gotta reply with another question," I hissed. "Okay, what is this? What's with you," she threw back at me. "If you have an issue just speak up because you know I know you. You don't always ask about my father except there is something. So you'd better talk." "You know what I like about you?" I tinted my brows. "You are very smart and you know me well." "I am your wife after all," she replied, turning away. "Well, it's true I want to see your father because some things are happening that I don't like. As the head of the Lords, I expect him to put those things in order but he's been cold about it. I think he needs someone to draw his attention to them." "And what's that?" "You ask too many questions," I grunted. "Anyway, it's about Franklin and K

    - Kira -I led the men towards the kitchen, trying hard to act as normal as possible, and sorted drinks for them to carry out."I know a place you can leave the hall but we will have to be very careful. You'll move these drinks out with me and act normal," I told them and they nodded."Okay."They quickly wore the aprons, and they looked less like suspects."Hey!" A voice boomed outside and we stopped dead. I turned round to see three hefty palace guards at the door."Hi, can I help you?" I asked with a nervous smile. The men walked in fully with bold eyes that searched everywhere."Yes you can," one of them said. "There are intruders in the palace and we are trying to fish them out."They were looking behind me at Xavier's men."Who are these men?" He finally asked."Why? These are the workers assisting me here," I replied casually with a shrug."It's that so? I have never seen these men before.""That is possible as some of them don't work in the palace before now. They were hired f

    - Xavier -I laughed. No, nothing was funny. It was just ridiculous. Father and Giselle were throwing a party for their wedding.So, the two think now that they can actually be together. They might have escaped my plots, but that does not mean anything to me because I was determined to do everything to get rid of them, including my father.I wouldn't have to wait for the child in Giselle's belly. I can't be dragging over anything with a baby. Right now, my father has become my biggest enemy since he could sleep with someone meant for me and not feel bad about it.He became my rival and competition the very day he turned against me and took Giselle into his bed. If I get him out, I become the Alpha of my pack.Either of the two must surely happen. I stationed my men at the party to take down any of the two. I was bent on ruining the wedding and shedding blood, not caring whose blood it was going to be.I sat absentmindedly as the wedding began. As his son, I was automatically invited t

    - Franklin -Giselle recovered quickly and I was very happy. However, a couple of thoughts have been running over my mind and I decided to meet her father concerning her."Alpha Franklin, please have your seat," King Marcus said as he ushered me in. "I hope there is no problem?""None at all," I replied as I took a seat beside him. "I just want to discuss with you a few things regarding your daughter, Giselle. I am planning to return to my pack, and I would like to carry her along."He paused for a while thoughtfully and then grunted."Well, I should have prepared for this long before now. After all, she is not going to stay here with me forever, just that it came a bit sudden for me.""I understand, since she's the only one you've got at the moment but I can't leave her. I worry too about the security of your pack in regards to her. I will be able to protect her more when she is with me.""You're right," he agreed with me soberly. "I have been worried too about her safety ever since

    - Franklin -I contemplated for a while, finding it difficult to say no to Giselle but not seeing the need to leave at the same time."I think he can do whatever he wants to, even with me here," I finally said, and I saw his face fall. It can't be that deep is it? Whatever. I am not changing my mind on that. Giselle frowned at me with disapproval, and I shrugged.The doctor went ahead to do his checks grumpily and I watched his every movement while holding on to Giselle's hands.At some point, I thought I saw him shaking, and I wondered if I made him uncomfortable and should have left.After a while, he was finally done and walked out. Giselle pinched me lightly."You should have gone out when he said you should," she complained with a pout. "You are so stubborn.""Now how could I have gone with you looking so cute like this," I told her with a smile. "I did not want to leave your side. And I don't like that you are not well.
