GWEN Chapter 25
Last night made me realize how clueless Gwen was. She was blind to a lot of things. I knew I had to act fast, Gwen could not stay in Lycester, she had to leave. She was surrounded by too many fake people. I was running out of time, my people needed me. I knew I had to return to Dycan, but not without Gwen. I gave her up last time, but I was never letting go this time. I had to take things slow if I wished to have her back. I knew she wouldn't accept me right away. But I didn't just want her, I desired her, I yearned for her. I had fantasized about her alot of times. She was clueless of how I really feel about her. I stood by the window watching the beautiful sunrise smile at the courtyard below. Speaking of the devil, she seemed to read my mind. Gwen arrived just then bearing gifts. I could sense they were thank you gifts. She stopped by the garden to smell the flowers. She was going to come in afterwards. I decided to spare her the trouble. I went to the garden to meet her.
GWEN Chapter 26
GWEN I’m all alone in my room. The sun is setting outside, and the light is golden and warm. It bathes my room in a soft glow, and the shadows stretch long across the floor. The silence is comforting, like a blanket, and I can almost hear my own breath. The air is still, and I feel as if I am suspended in time. I am not sure how long I have been here, but I do not wish to leave. In this room, at this moment, I am content. Derrick granted my wish, he left me alone. But I couldn't help but feel sad about it, I didn't mean it. I felt empty. My life reverted back to normal. I felt disco-ordinated. Seeing Derrick on the castle grounds was torture. As I walk through the castle grounds, I see him in the distance. We are like ships passing in the night, always just out of reach. The breeze stirs the leaves around us, whispering secrets that I cannot hear. The sunset paints the sky in shades of red and gold, but all I can see is the grey of his retreating figure. I wonder if he f
GWEN Chapter 27
As I dream, I find myself walking down a long, foggy road. The fog swirls around my feet, and I can barely see a few feet in front of me. The air is thick and heavy, like it's holding a secret. I hear footsteps in the distance, and my heart starts to race. I try to run, but my feet feel like they're stuck in the mud. And then, through the fog, I see a figure approaching. A familiar face, but one I can't quite place. My heart is pounding, and I can't look away. As they draw closer, I feel a sense of familiarity.As the figure approaches, I could make out a few details. In the fog, I can't see anything beyond a few feet in front of me. Suddenly, a shape emerges from the mist. It's a woman, dressed in a flowing green satin gown. Her hair is long and dark, cascading down her back in waves. She walks toward me, her eyes piercing through the fog. I feel frozen in place, unable to move. I'm not sure if she's real or a figment of my imagination. But as she gets closer, I can't help but feel d
GWEN Chapter 28
"Gwen," the queen said, her voice stern. "Why have you not been singing my daughter's praises to Derrick? You know he has a high regard for you, and I expected you to put in a good word for Amelia." I shifted uncomfortably, my gaze fixed on the floor. "Your Majesty, I..." I began, but the queen cut me off. "Spare me your excuses, Gwen. I know you are loyal to my son, but my daughter has been nothing but kind and gracious to you. The least you could do is return the favor." I swallowed hard, the weight of her words sank in, we both knew that was not true. She was quick to rephrase her statement. “Amelia may have been far from kind, but she's changed now.” I cast my gaze to the ground without uttering a word. I knew whatever the queen was doing was pointless. Derrick could see through people, and I could do absolutely nothing for both of them. But for once in my life they were treating me different. I was yet to unravel Amelia's obsession with Derrick. “Quit acting like w
GWEN Chapter 29
The grapevine yard was a perfect spot to lose yourself in a good book. The grapevines rustled gently in the breeze, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of grapes. There was a comfortable bench where I could relax and take in the quiet surroundings. The sun was out in all it's splendor. As I opened my book, I feel a sense of calm and contentment wash over me. It was the perfect place to relax and let my mind wander. All that could be heard was the chirping of birds and insect vibrations. The shade beside the tree was my favorite spot, it was chill and sublime. All was still for a while, until my sense of hearing suddenly heightened. I could tell someone was coming. I scanned the place in confusion, but I was all alone. I had sneaked past the guards with much difficulty. This was my secret spot, how were they able to find me? I couldn't help but wonder if I was being tailed. Just then, there was rustling in the bushes behind me. Mad dog sneaked up on me. I tu

“You can walk around the city today, you have my permission.” Simon said to me in smiles. I was elated I finally had a chance to go out. I was over the moon with excitement, I was no longer confined. At least for some hours. I was free to go for a stroll around Lycester. I anticipated what the mates festival would be like. It was a festival held every leap year to celebrate mates. It was also full moon. It was cute at the early hours of the night, and usually gets nasty by midnight, it was all booze and sex in every corner. We held the same festival often in Dycan. I recalled I had kissed a boy at night back then, and I never saw that boy again. When I eventually did, I could sense the terror in his eyes. He ran away. I found it mysterious and strange, he was all over me a few nights ago. But that was all history now, I finally had a mate, and we were going to spend the festival together tonight. Everyone would likely transform except me. I still couldn't transfor
GWEN Chapter 31
It's pouring rain outside, and we're drenched to the bone. We were in a dry but we'll lit cave in the woods. We found shelter in the ave, it was inviting. I shiver, teeth chattering. Derrick wraps his arms around me, trying to warm me up. I lean against him, seeking comfort in his embrace. The cave was empty, I was drenched to skin. All the cervices of my body were visible through my thin dress. My body looked glossed under the mysterious lights in the cave. My nipples were pointing out toward him. He looked away quickly and swallowed hard. He had saved me from the rain and brought me to shelter. I was cold. Awkwardly, I wrapped my hands across my chest to keep myself warm. I was shivering. The water on my hair ran down my back. There was an already lit fire in the cave. He held me close and wrapped his arms around me. The rain fell in wild torrents, there was a storm outside. “I'll take you back to the palace, you need to get dry.” He suggested. I shook my head negatively in tears.
GWEN Chapter 32
DerrickThe strange lady cackled playfully. “Who do we have here?. Two lovers desecrating my cave althrough the night.” She said. “No we were not, we just came to seek shelter.” Gwen replied in smiles and ran to embrace her. I was lost, her eyes were on on me who was less concerned about her presence. “You must be the Dycan alpha.” She said taking gentle strides towards me as she stared at me in wonder. “You're just as arrogant as I presumed you'd be.” “No ma'am, he's not always like that.” Gwen said in my defense. “Wait outside child.” She instructed Gwen. “I have questions about the last time.” Gwen replied defiantly. “And I have no answers. “ “I don't recall what we talked about. Wait out for now.” She dismissed Gwen who was disatisfied. I had no idea what they were talking about, nor did I want to talk to me strange lady. “I'm sorry ma'am but I have no time to entertain you. We have to go.” I finally spoke up and made to lead Gwen by hand out of the cave.
