HAPPINESS

Avery's POV

"Can i get the letter back?" I ask him when he gets back. Now i have found my voice. It was so hard speaking after the vomit. My stomach twisted in knots.

"Aren't you even going to ask what happened to you?" Nicholas's face creases at my question. I hadn't even thought of that possibility. I just thought i was sick because of the wedding stress and what i ate at the wedding.

"Is that all you want to ask about? You were almost dead!" He raises his tone a bit. My face creases in confusion, why is he that angry? It's just a question. I wondered what poison must have rendered me almost lifeless for days.

"What happened?" I ask in a low tone. I'd have asked if i wasn't too excited to get my hands on the letter. He wouldn't understand because he isn't the one who had cut ties with his family for the past eight months.

I was a stranger here in this land. That letter was the thing that connected me back to my family. Would he understand? No.

    WHAT IS MY MISSIONAvery's POVI roll on the bed waiting for Nicholas to come for the letter. I had thought hard on what to write to my father. I didn't know what to say because one paper wouldn't be enough to say what I want.Even a book would not do. However, I ask him how's feeling, about his health and everyone over there. Then I end it with a I miss you.I truly miss them. You can never know how much you'd miss your close ones until you get separated from them. By then it would be too late, just like it was now.I am perusing the letter when Nicholas knocks on my door. He retrieves the letter from me and looks at me suspiciously.As if he doesn't trust me. Maybe he thinks I'd do something rash. I am not so stupid. He opens the letter and reads it.I see his eyes flip over every line. It's like he's searching for something. Something little that would give me away. I am grateful for the opportunity he gave me to do this. His father would be angry if he ever got to know.Nicholas

He's surprised that there's a letter from Blessingstoke. "Don't be alarmed, it's from Avery," Beatrice sighs abd plops on the bed. She stretches her hand to give him the letter."Avery? Is she now alright?" Reginald asks in excitement. He doesn't even wait for an answer. He collects the letter and opens it immediately. He can't wait to see what Avery wrote in there.If she truly wrote the letter, he'd know. He'd also be very happy because his daughter had escaped death.He sits on the bed and proceeds to read the letter.The writing is Avery's. He knows how she writes.

    HOOTS CONFUSION."How could you!?" Alpha Devon rages. His face is in an angry mask and his anger is evident to all. Even the guards who aren't at fault are scathed. They flinch at the sound of his roar."I'm sorry my Lord. It'll never happen again. Please forgive me," the guard begs for his life. He had offended the Alpha a great deal and needed to appease him.They were in his royal chambers while he bent on all his fours before the Alpha pleading with him."How didn't you know that Nicholas sent a letter? What were you doing?" Devon roars."I was on duty. However i didn't see it because he must have sent the letter discreetly," the guard mutters in a low tone."Is that your excuse? That he must have sent it discreetly? Didn't I say to keep an eye on her so as to know what she's up to?" He sneers at the flimsy excuse the guard cooked up."I'm sorry my Lord. I assure you that nothing will escape this eyes of mine again. Please spare your hunble servant," the servant begs.The alpha t

Then he pauses for a moment to gather his thoughts together. He wants to ensure he doesn't miss anything. He doesn't know when he'll see another opportunity to tell her things again.He couldn't also leave the letter unattended to. Avery would be expecting a reply no matter how little. He smiles.Dear AveryPapa misses you so much.

    FIFTY ONEAvery's povI was just sited in my room, hoping my father is okay and if he had seen my letter. The name Beatrice always finds a way into my mouth with a taste of disgust and hatred flowing down my mind. With that anger I stormed up, not knowing where to go, then I heard a knock on my door."Who is there?" I asked, having in mind that I wasn't expecting anyone."It is me. The omega needs your attention."I knew trouble was saying hi to me, not that I can't ignore it, but curiosity will make me."I'll be there shortly." I replied, dreadful feeling crawling it's way up my spine."Please, make it quick." The maid begged and left.What's wrong? And what is with the hastiness? Ignoring my own question, I left my room and followed the maid to where Nahigra is."She is here, mistress." The maid reported.Against close doors I can hear Nahigra's voice. "Usher her in."Entering the hall, I felt it. The atmosphere was condensing, but well, that was fake.Earlier on, Hoots sent someone

    FIFTY TWONICHOLAS'S POVThe night was warm, but to someone like Avery? Cold probably would be the course of the night. I wasn't feeling sleepy, maybe because I went through a lot today.My mind seems to knock on the door to my thoughts. She was hot, and sweaty. I watched her say some words. "Dad? I don't wanna go. I wanna stay with you daddy." She frowned her face as she said those words.I went inside her closet to bring out a clean towel, and ordered the maid to bring warm water. A few minutes later, the maid came in."Thank you," I said. The maid just bowed down and left.I heard a knock on her door. "Who is there?" I asked."Hoots," Hoots screamed behind closed doors."Come on in." I ordered.He came in and saw Avery on the bed sweating. "Is she alright?" He asked with so much compassion in his words."I think she is." I replied."I just came to check up on her." He said, turning around to leave."How is the alpha?" I asked."He should wake up any moment from now." He responded.

    FIFTY THREEAvery's povElias screaming to one of his maids woke me up. I feel so good this morning. If yesterday was to be named anything, it would be "romantic." I blushed at my thoughts.I heard a knock on my door as soon as I got out of bed."Who is there?" I asked."It is me." I recognized the voice immediately. It was a maid."Come on in." I told her.The door swung open, and instead of seeing a feminine figure, I saw a masculine figure."Nicholas." I called out.Seeing the grin and the happiness showing across his face, I bet he saw me in his dreams because what's with the princess treatment? I walked up to him and collected the tray in his hands."It is heavy." He warned me before giving it to me, so I prepared myself for the heaviness of the tray."What's in it?" I asked curiously."Sit and check. It is poisoned food." My mood immediately changed."Poison?" I asked in shock. He changed his facial expression. The bright, warm smile I saw earlier had disappeared.

"Everything about this letter is weird," He thought as he placed the letter back on his desk. "I need to see Avery." He said, and arranged his clothes back to where it should be and went out.Nahigra walked slowly down the hall. She saw Nicholas, holding a bag behind him."Who would say that the almighty Nicholas would be walking around with no guards and a sack bag in his hands?" Nahigra's voice echoed in the hall.A tilt of his head to look back at Nahigra, the morning sun made sure to give that bright green colour of his eyes a glow - He smiled."Top of the morning to you." He greeted Nahigra.She walked up to him. "What is it you got there?""Kills." He still maintained the smile."You seem to be happy today.""Should I be sad?" He smiled even brighter.Nahigra stared deeply into his eyes. She did not know when she let out those words. "You look just like him." He still

    EPILOGUE --- AGAIN AND AGAINIt was a whole battle against a male confessor and his clan. The nightcrawlers came together to join forces with all the confessors to eradicate the male confessor once and for all. They all knew, that killing the male confessor is like catching lightning - His armies are might, large and filled with humans, confessors, Lycans, werewolves, and nightcrawlers.Only a few, a very little few are not under his command. They are all bent to his command and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the male confessor. With his mother forcefully beside him, ruling multiple large kingdoms.When he was only but twenty, Dylan decided to kill him, but he was caught. The male confessor commanded that each part of his fingers should be removed every hour, then he would finally be killed when the ten fingers and toes are gone.Dylan removed the leather gloves, revealing his lost fingers. "Damn," Nikki whispered under her breath."I had the power to outrun his army because

    THE LITTLE BOY The nightcrawlers surrounded the eldest of the nightcrawlers inside their cave. They waited for him to speak up because they are all aware that he would have known about what is going on currently in the forest and with the confessors. "You all expect me to say something about what is going on currently in the confessor's city?" The nightcrawler asked. They all shook their heads and went their way. Deep down they were all scared. What really happened during those times? The nightcrawler sighed and glared at one who didn't want to leave. "What are you waiting for young one?" He didn't speak, yet he continued staring at the nightcrawler. He sniffed the air and at once the old nightcrawler knew something was disturbing him. "Talk young one. I won't sacrifice you." He assured. "The baby ---" "I know. I'm also thinking about what to do here. The baby must not live." "The baby is hours old now. Nothing can kill him as we speak. What about that sword, Elder Dylan?" It ha

    HE IS REBORN."We will regret this. It is not about the question if we would. We didn't - No - You should have listened when I said we should go forward and search for her." Theresa, one of the midwives - also one of the greatest confessors that ever lived lamented.She sat down on the chair as she entered the room and others followed behind. "I know it is risky." The eldest of the midwives said and continued. "But, we all know that it is just written in the books and we have not seen for ourselves what great calamity would befall us. Maybe the people who came together to write this book see how powerful he is and would not want anyone to wield that kind of power again. Thus, tagging him bad from birth.""I would not say otherwise, but it is written for a reason. If it was never a threat to us all, I don't think they would have agreed to write the book.""Then they should have explained the consequences of leaving that child alive. No stories, only warnings. And if it had happened bef

    THE BIRTH SYNDROMEIt feels a lot weird when you know you have a super power inside of you. Humans and supernatural beings bend to your will, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. It is incredible, but it comes with a disadvantage."Erhmm, Nicholas, can you help me with the cup of water on the table please?" Avery asked."I'm very busy currently, there are a lot of letters I need to write back to Blessingstoke and —" a stolen glare toward Avery kept him mute halfway. "Don't you dare use that on me, Avery." Nicholas stood slowly.Avery laughed and kept on laughing. "I'm not using it on you. See my baby bump, I don't want to move right now." She said amidst laughing.Avery is eight months pregnant. The midwives told her to get into care immediately, but she was adamant. When anyone tries to force her to leave for the care room, she would try to use her powers on them. Thus, they all backed off at one point in time.They heard a knock on the door. Nicholas was holding the

    WHO KNOWS?A wasted life can never be returned. The consequences lie in the depth of shadows. He made a lot of mistakes, and it haunts him to this day. But, who will save him from his trespasses?It has been three months and everywhere has been peaceful both in Arbedour and Blessingstoke. The visit to Blessingstoke did wonders for the citizens of both cities, but never for their rulers. Charles followed the advice of Elias and he kept poisoning the mind of the king Beatrice kept advising the king to visit Arbedour and make peace with the alpha.In the middle of the second month, words went out about the king of Blessingstoke visiting Arbedour, but Charles got his way around it and it was delayed.FOUR MONTHS LATER"You said you won't listen to me?" Charles' voice sounded cold toward the king."What do you mean? I'm the king and my decision is final. I'm going to Arbedour to sign a peace treaty. Everything needs to stop now. For the future generation, we need to stop the war." The king

    BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY"We are home!" Philippa, a young lady about Avery's height and age yelled as she entered the castle. Beatrice wouldn't believe her eyes - she shouldn't be back now - oh, she missed Avery."Philippa?" Beatrice called out her daughter. They embraced each other as tightly as they could."Mother." She smiled, closing her eyes to feel the moment she had craved for.There was an elderly woman beside Philippa. A few months ago, she was forced to follow Philippa to an unknown town And they spent most of the year there. "Mrs Stewart, welcome back." Beatrice greeted her.Amazed as she should be. "Is this the king's sister?" She asked."Yes, I am," Beatrice replied with a grin."The real you wouldn't have greeted me. It is weird." She said what was on her mind and didn't keep anything to herself."People change." Reginald walked majestically toward Mrs Stewart and gave her a warm hug."Reginald." She called him."I have missed how you call my name." Reginald smiled. "Avery w

    THE EVIDENCE"Should we ask her about it?" Nicholas bent toward Avery. Avery glared at Beatrice."No, don't. Let's wait till after the wine and dine. Don't spoil the fun!" Avery yelled beneath her voice."Why did you have to yell?" Nicholas scowled."I didn't. I just have to maintain a voice you can hear with the high pitch noise in this tavern.""No one can hold his liquor better than me." A man with a gold beard and a loud voice bluffed after finishing a bowl of liquor."Did he really finish that?" Nicholas asked Avery."We are both watching Nicholas. Don't ask me questions like that. I'm still amazed." Avery glared at the dwarf."Let me prove it to you." Danika's solemn voice filled the room. Her actions brought more evidence to Nicholas.The eldest prince of the moonstone clan was the strongest liquor drinker in the whole of Arbedour until Danika challenged him and she won. Maybe that sums up the reason Elias hated Danika up till now."She behaves exactly like Danika." Nicholas la

    A VISIT TO HELL"Who is next!?" Young Danika screamed from the arena. Nicholas was proud of his best friend who hasn't turned but defeated those that have with ease. No one like her because of this and they are looking for a person that can shut her mouth - she hasn't stopped yelling and no one was cheering - Nicholas would have, but as the son of the alpha, he is expected not to take sides."I said who is next!!?" Danika bluffed until a huge man came on stage.This was not supposed to be so. He shouldn't be there at the moment. He was not expected to fight at all, but people wanted her to lose. Nicholas complained to Devon, but he didn't listen."Father, this is murderer. She hasn't shifted yet and she will fight with Kakuna? Even I can't take him on without getting serious injuries." Nicholas complained."No, this would be total fun. Don't you believe in your best friend?" He replied with a grin. Maybe this day was the day he stopped calling Devon, 'father'.ANNOUNCER: THERE IS THE

The men sat with the butcher who was almost done with the kill and talked about sports and the following day which was hunting.Nicholas was lost in their conversation about sports, but it is entirely different from what he knew back at home. Reginald showed the scar he got from racing on a wild horse and the butcher joked about the fact that he is always butchering or arranging the meat into a sack. Tables turned and it was Nicholas' turn."What about you?" Reginald tilted his head sideway. "Have you gotten any injury or scars?" He asked before Nicholas could reply. "I know you guys heal or you don't?""Too many questions." Nicholas scoffed. "Well, I have a scar, but it is a long story. It is from the sports, but not actually from playin
