~The Next Day~ Belinda woke up on the perfect side of the bed. She was happy and joyful for the first time in her life. The prince confessed his love for her last night. At the party, they kept stealing glances of each other, and Belinda tried as much as possible to stay away from Reggie so as not to piss him off. She hummed throughout her bathing session and danced, making little swirls as she dressed up. ‘It’s going to be a great day. I can feel it.’ She looked at herself in the mirror and beamed. She brushed her hair and let it fall loosely on her shoulders. ‘I should care about how I look now. He seemed to like how I looked yesterday. It’s a pity I don’t have any of those makeup items, and asking Princess Megan for it will be so shears. I should just leave my face this way.’ She let out another grin, showing her white, straight teeth before heading to her door. She opened her door and was about to step out when Megan, out of nowhere, stopped her.“Princess Megan!” Belinda ca
Queen Marlena sat at the dining table with Damon and Maisie. There was an awkward silence among them as they ate. Marlena looked at Maisie, and then at Damon, who looked lost. All he did was eat. He didn’t even bother to look up. Maisie looked at Marlena and shrugged her shoulders. She wanted the queen to ask questions. “So Damon… how are things between you and Maisie?” Marlena asked. Damom raised his head and nodded. “Good. We are having breakfast together. That’s progressive right?” He asked, and Queen Marlena smiled feebly. “But why does Maisie look sad?” She further asked, and for the first time since they started eating, Damon looked at her.“I’m not sure, Mother. You can ask her, she’s right in front of you.” Damon answered and continued eating. “I am fine, my queen. I just feel that the prince doesn’t care about me the way he claims he does.” Maisie answered sadly. “How is that?” Marlena asked. “We have been together for two months now but he has never kissed me, talkle
Damon grabbed her waist again and lifted her. This time, he wasn’t going to hold back anymore. He threw her on the bed and grabbed her legs, drawing the apex of her legs closer to him. He guarded his hard male meat into her and without hesitation, began to thump… this time, harder and faster. “Prin…” Belinda fought for her as she felt him fill her and hit her core. He was way deep inside of her unlike before. She grabbed the bed and threw her face to the side. “Haa… Haa…” They could only hear their ragged gasps as this filled the air around them. He leaned in and reclaimed again, capturing her beautiful swollen lips and swept inside of her with his tongue. At this point, he tasted all of her, and she, all of him. The urge came again, the urge to make Belinda his and his alone. He stopped kissing her lips and began to give her neck kisses. He felt his fangs slowly elongate as he sniffed her neck. He traced her soft skin with his fang, and when she felt it, Belinda grabbed his hea
Belinda stood on top of the tower, watching the boundaries. It wasn’t her turn but she was going to do it anyway. She was worried about the Prince going out to hunt. They didn’t get the chance to talk throughout the day, so she heard it from Megan, and since then she had been worried. She couldn’t stop guessing that Alpha Cephas could try to get at him, and maybe even other wolves because it was the full moon. She cared less about her first transformation, because she was scared for the Prince. She kept watching the boundaries, keeping her eyes out for anything strange so she could raise an alarm. It was some minutes past midnight when all of a sudden, her heart began to beat very fast. “Prince Damon.” She called. She grabbed her chest as it was as if lightning struck her, right in the heart. She began to fidget as she could perceive something was wrong. She could feel the prince was under attack. She got confused and didn’t know what to do. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks as
“Why won’t you kill her, Cephas?! She is right there, helpless and harmful! Why can’t you just end this once and for all?!” Maeve smacked as they entered the house. “And then we forget that everything happened?! Don’t you get it?! That girl kept me on my toes for months! You think I’ll just kill her and then it will all be forgotten? Never!” “So what do you want to do now?! Keep her on that tree until that wolf comes to save her again?” “Yes, Maeve! That is exactly what I plan on doing. And when he comes, he'll be captured and then we’ll kill both of them together! That’s my plan.” Maeve stepped back and shook her head. “Maisie is in love with him! We can’t kill him, okay?! He is her fiancée.” “I don’t care, Maeve. He humiliated me, alongside that girl on the tree. Both of them will pay for this.” “Cephas, you are obsessed with this girl. Now, I can see that clearly. I didn’t want to believe that before but now I see it.” “Stop saying such things, Maeve. You know how much I ha
“Damon, are you crazy?! Going to Alpha Cephas’ territory is like walking into your own death. Can’t we sort help?” Megan uttered with worry as they stormed into Damon’s chamber. “No, we cannot sort for help, Megan! Who do we tell, hun? Father? He will never let us go there. I need to do this alone. I can’t just sit back and watch when Belinda is out there, waiting for me to help her, okay?” Damon muttered under nervousness. Megan sighed hopelessly and brushed her hair backwards with her hand. “So what do we do now? They are way stronger than we are.” “I know. But I’ll go to her tonight.” “Damon…” “Megan, Belinda is my mate! I can feel how scared she is right now. I don’t care if I die helping her, okay? She wants me to come to her, and that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to her tonight, and you’ll help me.” “But I don’t get one thing. How did he or them manage to get in here to get her? I mean, they can never get into the palace without the guards raising an alarm. Are you s
“The king is going to kill me when he finds out I’m helping his son sneak out of the palace, and not only the palace, but his kingdom.” Ayman whispered as they crossed the boundaries of the kingdom. “That is a big lie. Ayman. My father loves you so much to kill you. He’ll forgive you eventually. I know Damon has a plan to keep you out of trouble.” Megan uttered, and they both looked at Damon. “Please tell me you have a plan, even if you don’t.” Ayman answered, and Damon gulped. “I have a plan.” He answered, and Ayman nodded. “So, now that we are in the woods, on our way to another wolf territory that is probably prepared to have us. Shouldn’t we talk about how we’re going to win against them?” Ayman added, and Megan looked at him. “Damon should have thought of something.” She muttered. “Okay… both of you. Look! I have no plans, I have no ideas! I am going there because I have to get Belinda out of there even though it costs me my life. I can’t live without her, okay? And I need
Maeve and other members of the packs that were fighting with Megan and Ayman stopped abruptly and stared in awe at Belinda as she charged towards Alpha Cephas. Cephas began to fidget where he was and before he could shapeshift to his wolf form, Belinda pounced on him, making him fall to the ground, and she dragged her paw across his face, cutting him deep and even bursting his left eye in the process. “Cephas!” Maeve called out in terror as she saw blood ooze out of his face. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Belinda moved back and wanted to charge at him again, when she heard Megan call her name in desperation. “Belinda! Damon… I can’t feel his pulse anymore!” Megan cried out.Hearing this, Belibda was forced to stop. She looked back and saw Megan tapping Damon’s face, begging him to wake up. She looked at Cephas who was losing so much blood. She wanted to finish him right there but she then, she would have to ignore her dying mate and Megan’s cry. Sue turned away from Cephas and
After 3 months~ Damon kept pacing in front of the room where Belinda was to conceive. His heart was thumping violently against his chest. He prayed silently that Belinda and their baby were going to be okay. King Talos and Queen Marlena also stood not so far from the room, waiting in anticipation. After the wedding ceremony, Prince Damon and Belinda became the talk of the kingdom. Everyone had their own parts to say about what happened, but Damon didn’t care. He wasn’t ready to lose Belinda again. He approached his parents after the wedding ceremony, and he told them that if they wanted their lineage to continue ruling, they had to want what he wanted. He went on to explain all the evil that Maisie had once done and that he was never going to settle down with such a woman. He told them the only way he would forgive them for erasing all memories of his wife was if they accepted her in the palace. After thinking about it, his parents finally decided to accept Belinda as their da
Everyone gathered in the large hall, and in front of them stood the Monk, Damon and Maisie. The Priest read out words from the scroll to repeat. Maisie was the happiest woman on earth, while Damon on the other hand couldn’t stop worrying about why Megan was yet to get to his marriage ceremony. Damon never felt any surge of happiness, but he just had to do it for his parents, the king and queen. “We promise in front of every kind of us present today, to cherish our bond and love each other till eternity.” The monk uttered, waiting for them to repeat these words. Maisie opened her mouth to speak, but realized that Damon was being hesitant again. All the words they were asked to repeat seemed like a burden to him. It was more like he was forced to say these words. She didn’t care, because what she had always wanted was right before her now, and there was no turning back. “Please repeat after me.” Damon heard the voice of the monk from a distance, throwing him back to reality once m
Getting to the palace, Megan led Clara and Belinda in through the back door, sneaking them in. The palace was so busy with the preparations for the Prince’s wedding that they hardly noticed their entry. “Where are we going now?” Clara asked, turning to look at Megan. They hid behind a wall; watching how the people walked to and fro. “We need to get to Mr. Theron, I believe he can help us.” She suggested, causing Belinda’s eyes to widen. “What? You just told us Mr. Theron was the one that placed a spell on Damon and made him reject and forget me. Why would he help me now?” Belinda asked. “I have spoken to him, okay? He has always regretted what he did, and he told me he had to because of my father. But now, he’s ready to do anything because he doesn’t want to be the one to change fate. So he’ll help. I promise.” Megan reassured them. Belinda and Clara exchanged looks and nodded at each other. “So what do we do now?” Clara further asked. “You two need disguises. I have some in m
~Six Months Later~ While Belinda sat in her room, rubbing her big belly bump, Clara rushed into her room. The loud noise caused Belinda to jolt and turn to the door. “Belinda!” Clara called, panting seriously. Belinda hastily stood up in fear and approached her. “What’s wrong, Clara? What’s happening?” She asked fearfully. “I… I have bad news! And there are two of them. But one of them is very urgent! We need to get out of here, right now!” She uttered, causing Belinda to shake her head. “Why? Talk to me? Where is Agatha? And everyone?” “Agatha sent me to you, and told me to take you somewhere sef. Cephas’ pack has found us, and there is going to be a war soon. Though we would defeat them, we need to keep you safe.” She uttered, rushing to Belinda’s closet and picking a big jacket and wrapper. “But I don’t want to leave. Nothing is going to happen to me. What if Cephas dies in the process? I don’t want to leave without watching him get the death he deserves.” Belinda answered.
Agatha and Clara took Belinda to the cage where they had locked Alpha Cephas. He sat on the floor, his hands over his knees and his head bowed. The clothes he had on were stained with his dried blood. He tried putting up a fight with Agatha and one of the men in the pack, and he ended up getting brutally wounded. “There he is.” Agatha uttered, and Cephas raised his head and looked up to see Belinda standing in front of him. He clenched his jaws angrily as he stared at her. He just wanted to get rid of her once and for all but he kept failing and getting himself humiliated. He hated her even more because of this. Belinda stared at him speechlessly with lots of thought going through her head. A part of her wanted to pounce on him and kill him right away, while the other part wanted to make him suffer slowly until he died. “What should we do about him? If you want us to eliminate him right away, we can, Belinda. He hurt one of us and we don’t take that lightly. He should be dead, b
Belinda’s eyes slowly opened as she felt the hot sun rays hit her face. She moaned as her consciousness caused a throbbing pain around her neck. “She’s awake! She’s awake!” The loud voice pierced her ears like they were going to destroy her eardrums. “Argh.” She groaned, covering her ears tightly with her hands. She slowly opened her eyes, and with her blurry vision, she tried to recognize where she laid. The last thing she remembered was somebody trying to strangle her to death on a rock, in the woods. “Where am I?” The question came in her head as she reached for her neck, slowly running her fingers through it. But then she found out that something was tied round her neck too. She creased her eyebrows, touching the bandage around her neck and finally looked up to see two women staring at her. One of them looked very young, while the other woman was pretty old. “How are you, dear?” The elderly woman asked, and Belinda furrowed her brows. They didn’t seem familiar to her. “Wher
Queen Marlena asked the maids to prepare breakfast for her, Miss Maisie and Damon. She could not contain the joy of having gotten rid of Belinda for good. The maids finished setting up breakfast in Queen Marlena’s room, and she invited Damon and Maisie in. “Welcome.” She uttered, with a large grin, sitting behind the table. Maisie looked at Damon and found him grinning too. She couldn’t help but ask herself what had changed. All she knew was that the queen put a call out to her that she should come and claim what was rightfully hers…Damon. At first, she was scared that she'd have to face Belinda again, but she summoned courage since it was the queen that summoned her. “Thank you, Queen Marlena.” Maisie responded, as she sat on the chair. Damon also settled next to her, staring at the meals on the table. “What are we celebrating?” He asked, furrowing his brows. “What is there not to celebrate, hun?” Marlena responded, and he raised his eyebrows. “Please don't tell me this is a
Belinda slowly opened her eyes as the sun's hot rays touched her face. She winced, feeling a throbbing pain at the back of her head as she tried to shield herself from the sun. Using her hand to block the rays, she fully opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings as she sat up.She found herself in an isolated place, far away from civilization. The events of the previous night rushed back to her instantly—the night she was forcefully expelled from the palace, treated like an unwanted stray.Her eyes welled up with tears, and a surge of emotions overcame her. She held the back of her aching head and struggled to stand up, leaning against the tree beside her for support.As she rose to her feet, she instinctively placed her palm over her belly, feeling through the fabric of her garment. Through tearful eyes, she murmured, "I won't give up on you, my love. No matter what they try, I'll protect you. We'll be reunited with your father, and we'll find happiness once again."Beside her, t
"Arrrghhh!" Belinda clutched her chest, experiencing an intense pain unlike any she had felt before. It felt as though she had become disconnected from something or someone she cherished deeply, causing her heart to fracture within her chest. Her face flushed red, and her eyes rolled back as she collapsed onto the bed, desperately attempting to alleviate the overwhelming pain.Standing by the bed, the maids observed her struggle, hesitant to approach due to the head maid's warning not to intervene. "Leave her be until the arrival of the King and Queen," the head maid instructed, and the others nodded in agreement.As Belinda grappled with the excruciating pain coursing through her body, the chamber door swung open. King Talos and Marlena entered, their attention immediately drawn to the tearful Belinda. "Is everything prepared now?" inquired Marlena, and the maids nodded in response."Yes," replied the head maid, and they all bowed. "Excellent. Now, summon the guards to remove her f
