YOU CANT DIE YET

Nicholas's POV

I didn't have a good night sleep. I tossed and turned on the bed tull day break. I don't know what must have caused it.

"No you do. You hurt her, that's the reason" a voice tells me. I heard her muffled sobs as she ran into her room last night.

I will forever hate Eva for ruining my wedding night. However Avery must have slept well, i think. Since I didn't hear anything ftom her after a while yesterday, i had hoped we could talk things out if she opened the door back.

I mught have even explained why i did like thst to her. However she had a goodnight resr so there's no need i explain myself. I changed into my night robe and went to bed too.

Why should i even explain myself? I didn't force this marriage on us. It's the will of the gods that i should be saddled with a bride who doesn't know thar I've been hurt before

I groan as i yank the bed covers away from my body and stand up. I stretch my muscles abd look to her door. There's still no sound of any

    THEY WILL PAYNicholas's POV"I have checked her out my lord. It has been confirmed to be arsenic. Her body temperature shows that it must have eaten deep into her system. When last did you hear from her?" He asks me but I'm lost in my thoughts.Hoots had summoned the physician and a guard who had come upstairs to call us for breakfast had run back in to summon father and mother. Almost everyone was here as the physician checked her body temperature."Nicholas, speak" father nudges me. "I'm sorry, i wasn't here. What did you say please?" I look at him with worry in my eyes."I want to know how long the poison has been in her system. That way, i can know what to prescribe for her fast. When last did you see her?" He checks her temperature once more.I heard a thud in her room last night. Was that it? I had thought that something had fallen down in her anger but she was the one.If only i hadn't assumed, all this might not have happened. I had assumed and now rhe worse had happened to h

    WHO POISONED HER!?"I want you to send this letter to Beatrice immediately. Tell her it's from Arbedour Park. It should be the reply they've been waiting for. Hurry up" King Levi orders a guard. "Yes my lord. I'll be back in a jiffy" he collects the paper and walks out.He didn't read the first letter since ot had been from his sister. He also didn't read this because he felt it was the reply to what they had sent."I hope it is good news and her marriage went well. I wish her a healthy marriage" he sighs at the thought of losing one of his people to Devon.He and Devon were enemies who prided themselves in killing their people. Levi was happy that he had won this round at least Avery was saved. He retreated into his inner chambers."Thank you so much. My regards to Levi. I'll see him some other time" Beatrice says to the guard whom Levi sent. A maid had welcomed him into the house. She had lost all hopes that they would receive anything from Arbedour Park. Since it had taken a whole

    IT IS DANIKA!"Good day" Reginald stands up from the dining table in a sulk. Beatrice sighs. She doesn't have the strength to start another argument with him this morning. She would rather watch how it goes. He strides out of the parlor. Since yesterday when the news about Avery got to him, he had kept mum and refused to say anything to Beatrice.He hopes that nothing will happen to her. Reginald ascends the stairs up into his room to read a book so he can keep himself busy for the meantime. However he meets Danika coming out of her in a coat. He pauses to ask her where's she's off to. Since Phillipa had caught her at their door, he had his suspicions about her but he kept them to himself. Moreover, she didn't give anything away to make him suspect her further."Where are you off to,Danika?" He asks her. "Good morning my lord" she curtsies before him."Morning," he replies while still waiting for his answer."I have to see my cousin. He fell ill last week" Danika says wondering why

    IT IS LEFT TO AVERY NOW."I'm done my lord,"the physician bows before Alpha Devon. "Welldone You spent a really long time in there, is her situation improved?" He asks.The physician had stayed overnight to attend to Avery's critical condition. "I tried my best to evacuate some of the poison from her system. However, some had seeped into her body" he says in a morose tone. He is trying not to break the news to them subtly. Nicholas enters when he's about to add more. Je bows to him also. Nicholas takes his seat. "Is she ok?" He looks concerned."We were just discussing right now, he says the poison has entered into her system" alpha Devon tells Nicholas who is tense. She had been like that for a day."So what are you saying please? There's still posion in her skin?" He asks "Yes," the physician affirmed. "So how do we get it out?,t's dangerous to her" Nicholas adjusts on the chair in discomfort."The only way the poison can come out is if she vomits. And for her to do that she has to

I don't want to do back.Suddenly I hear a voice. "You can't die yet. you can't die yet, you still have some missions to complete. Go back" the voice says."Mission? What mission? If my mission is to suffer, I might as well remain here," I reply. "No you can't, your mission will be unveiled in due time. For now, you must leave here." The voice replies."They do not treat me well over there. No one misses me and I miss my family but I'm being tied to a man who hates me. The sight of me disgusts him so much. I don't want to suffer any more," I argue.Only if Nicholas could treat me so well or take me back home but that was a wish. We had been destined to be enemies forever. Nothing like that could happen.I hope they allow me stay here. "You have to suffer a bit but soon you will be happy. Now, go back" the voice commands. I ope

    HAPPINESSAvery'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."Your family poisoned you," h

    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

    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.

    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.

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
