I stared at the door licking my lips in anticipation. I had over and over again rehearsed how I was going to ask Jonathan for permission to go to the back mountains. The day before, Serena had suggested that I find Aurora and ask her as she was in the best position to allow me into the back mountains and we had joked about if I had lasted a few more days at the medicine house, I would have been able to go to the back mountain just because I were there but unfortunately, that was no longer possible because I had left the medicine house in the worst, in the funniest way possible.

I had taken a few days to practice how to ask for permission from him. It had to be as natural as possible. I couldn’t stutter, I couldn’t show how anxious I was either. I had to be as calm as possible because I wasn’t just asking for permissions,I had to find some other things as well. The two things I had to do were as important as each other. I sucked in my breath, trying breathing exercises before I pushed

    I ran. As fast I could. My insides had turned to mushy and everything around me seemed to be a blur. I had confirmed it and I was so sure that Jonathan even saw it or not. He felt something for me and whatever that was, it was enough for me. It was good and I liked it. I couldn’t believe that the bet I took had worked, I had won.I didn’t try to think so hard why Jonathan had given me his permission, all that mattered was that he had given me and now I could get all the herbs and plants that I needed. I remembered the teasing moments we shared when I had walked in on him half naked.It was so sure and so true that we both knew that we felt something for each other but keeping quiet and pretending like everything was good was our best bet and I honestly didn’t mind. I was still trying to figure out everything and so we could take all the time we needed in the world.I pushed the door open and both Julianna and Serena turned to me with question marks all over their faces. I walked into

    Early the next morning, both I and Julianna woke up early. Serena woke up with us but she was still too sleepy to accompany us. We laughed at her as she struggled with waking up. Julianna and I ended up leaving her in the room and we grabbed our sickles and baskets and headed out of the room. Serena liked or loved to sleep and unless it was a biological clock which was around 8am, she would never wake up and would even struggle to wake up at 8 am. That was the type of person she was.Julianna led the way as she walked out of the place, our baskets carried over our backs like medicine attendants as she walked towards the back mountain. Everywhere was still foggy and not clear yet Juliana walked with dexterity and I was quick and sharp to follow her with agility. It was something that had been honed from over time. Julianna and I exchanged one or two words as we walked towards the back mountain.It was an area I had never gone to at all so I tried to look curiously around if I could rec

    I hadn’t expected to run into Masoma in the back mountains. I had imagined various times how it was going to be like if we ever ran into each other and especially at the king’s chambers but we never ran into each other and I was already slowly giving up the idea of even running into her. I had imagined and thought of the things I would say to her if she ever spoke to me but when I saw her, all those words had evaporated.I had planned to ignore her but I just couldn’t. A part of me still hated how foolishly I had accepted her friendship, I had liked her and yet it was all facade. It was all a lie.While Julianna had gone back to sleep, I had gotten to work, using a small part of the room that we had created the day before arranging the plants, herbs and barks in containers. Using the medicine books, I stored them in a way that would retain their use. I had to soak some in water immediately, had to store some in jars, had to spread some of them to air dry them and soon the smell in the

    Tending to my herbs and plants became my all time favourite. Making pastes and concoctions to try out new things and sometimes forcing down my throat was both exciting and interesting but I got lucky every time and whether I had to spit it out or not, I never had the opportunity to be affected by the things I was making. Sometimes if the pastes and conctions didn’t look bitter or scary, Serena and Julianna didn’t mind helping me try them to see the different reactions it would give everyone.And after so many trails; I had successfully made a paste that stopped bleeding, I had sliced my arm with a knife to prove that point and the paste, thick and with a rather nude smell had stopped the bleeding and not only that, my skin had scalded over the wound in a few things so easier. The paste would be effective for soldiers in minor injuries, I couldn’t say if it would be effective if tried on deep wounds but I knew that it would at least do something but my discoveries and inventions were m

    I didn’t run to my room, I knew that Serena would be there and that I would have to explain what happened to her and I honestly wasn’t ready to explain anything to anyone about what was wrong with me. I didn’t even know if I would be able to get the words out. Would they even understand? Before I even opened my mouth, wouldn’t I be looked at like I was crazy and that would be very valid, to look at me like I was crazy. I was very stupid and every single thing seemed to be reminding me of that. I found an empty abandoned room and hid in a corner, holding my face and hiding my mouth in my stomach as I sobbed, the tears wouldn’t stop, neither did the hurt and pain I felt from my chest.The mere thought of it brought a lot of ache to my stomach. I couldn’t believe that while I was enjoying the thoughts of his care and thinking that he definitely felt something for me, definitely or maybe liked me, he was there telling everyone else that I was a slave and I was leverage for his people.

    Avoidance.That was the path I took in dealing with the situation. I couldn’t sort out my feelings even after sleeping and I couldn’t face Jonathan either so I avoided him perfectly. I waited till I was sure he was out of the room before cleaning, I made sure that I was gone before he even thought or imagined that I was in the room. I stopped cleaning the store room for now since I didn’t want to overhear something else.The room had successfully left a shadow on me and I was just generally tired. Cleaning the store room meant that I was allowing myself to run into Jonathan and I certainly didn’t want to see him. I was avoiding him. I couldn't pretend that everything was fine when I saw him.And so I spent my time n the medicine room he had found someone to give me. At first, I was too hurt to use it, I didn’t want to use it but I didn’t have a reason not to. It was easier to work in and I could make whatever sort of mess in there. It gave me ease and made me calm down. Working with t

    I didn’t know how long I struggled against Jonathan but at a point, I just stopped, allowing tears to run down my cheeks in torrent. I was sad. I was hurt. I was in pain and my heart ached badly. Even worse now that I was in his arms.The familiar comfort cloaked over me as he hugged me tighter. I didn’t hug him back and I just stood in his arms, allowing him to hug me. His head pressed tightly to head and I sobbed slowly.“Do you hate me so much, your highness, that you wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice me for your people?” I asked slowly and that made Jonathan slowly let me go. He stepped back as he stared into my eyes and swallowed.“No, no, Princess, you’ve got it all wrong” He replied softly. It was the softest voice ever. I had never heard Jonathan use this voice with anyone ever.“I don’t hate you” he replied as he met my eyes and I froze.“I promise you, I don’t hate you” he repeated again pausing a bit, “I can’t” he added quietly but I heard him clearly and I chuckled.“Of cours

    The way the truth co-exists was such a weird way. Just because you don’t agree with it doesn't make it any less of the truth and that was the case scenario in my case. I didn’t know how long I stayed in Jonathan's arms that day. How long he held me because he didn’t have an answer to my question, and because even I didn’t know if I was ever going to leave. It was an unforgettable ache in my heart and there was nothing I could do about it.Juniper sighed softly as he rubbed my arm, "You look terrible Ami” he said softly and I chuckled.“You can't blame me” I replied and he nodded his head rubbing my back.“Nobody is blaming you. I don’t dare” he replied and I turned to him with a small chuckle.“I’m tired Juniper, really tired” I replied and Juniper’s eyes softened.“I don’t know what to say Ami, I’m as tired as you but I have to be less tired than you so that I can be strong for you” he replied and I chuckled.When I realized that Jonathan couldn’t answer my question that day, I had a

    Juilanna had stayed true to her word and had brought me my breakfast and lots of extra fruits. She said she hoped that i would eat a lot of fruits and get better. It made me laugh and while I ate, I knew that she was still feeling guilty. I remembered when I first arrived at the palace and how she treated me. How she thought I deserved everything that came to me and of course, the strong triumphed over the weak but we had spent enough time together for her to realize that I hadn’t done anything to deserve what had happened to me.Her blind worship for Jonathan was starting to make her feel guilty. She trusted and believed in Jonathan. His decisions and his leadership and she had for years, until me and I were sure that she was having a hard time processing the fact that Jonathan had chosen to enslave me. I knew that she was questioning a lot of things and unfortunately I wasn’t going to help her with coming to terms with her feelings. It wasn’t my job, I was leaving soon anyway.By af

    ‘He’s doing way much better’‘Masoma said he would be fine by tomorrow morning. He’s the King and an Alpha, he has better healing abilities than anyone’That was what Serena had told me but I needed to see him for myself. I needed to make sure that he was alright. So I pretended to sleep first, waiting till Serena and Julianna were fast asleep, their breathing even, before I got up from my bed and sneaked out of the room. I walked silently along the corridors, inwardly praying that I wouldn’t meet a guard on the way and that Jonathan would be alone.Not that I was happy that the Moon goddess heard my prayers but I didn’t meet a single guard on the way and by the time I got to Jonathan’s room, I placed my ear on the door to listen if there was anyone in the room but it was an eerie silence that greeted me. I pushed the door slowly and peeped into the room, Jonathan was laying on his bed fast asleep and there was no one else in the room. I closed the door behind me and I tiptoed towards

    As I walked back to the palace, I paused and stared at the sky. It was full of stars and the moon was round and full illuminating everywhere. It was a beautiful sight and I shook my head before I slowly made my way back to the palace.Listening to Juniper talk about the fact that the person he was in love with was in love with the king broke my heart and what broke my heart even more was hearing him say that she might be forced onto Jonathan as his Queen, his Luna. My ears had prickled at the thought. My mind went back to the conversation I and Juniper had and I swallowed.“Have you tried speaking to her? Telling her about your feelings?” I asked and Juniper laughed.“That should be so funny to you, Ami. You want me to tell one of the high chief's daughters that I am in love with her” Juniper replied before chuckling, “No. Even a mad person won’t do that. I’m a slave Ami, we are slaves. We don’t get that kind of life well except it’s another slave I’m falling in love with” he added an

    I walked out of the palace, the sun rays falling on me and making me furrow my eyebrows in displeasure. Masoma apologizing to me wasn’t something I had seen coming, her apology in truth was late but I knew deep down that I needed it. I knew that I needed her to apologize, to tell me that she was wrong in the first place for slapping me, treating me like that and taking the side of everyone else. I wanted her to admit that she was wrong and when she finally did, the only thing it made me feel was relief and nothing else. I wasn’t more happy or excited nor did I want to even rekindle our relationship. I wasn’t interested in making any new friends ro restoring the ones I had lost. I walked straight ahead to the Kitchen.I needed to ask juniper a few things. Like what might have gotten the king sick, Juniper had a flair for gossip and he always knew things that happened. I was already used to that so whenever I had a pressing issue, he was my go-to person.I had tried to check up on Jonat

    It took one conversation for me and Jonathan to get back on friendly terms with each other. And just like that, we were back to before where we talked like friends and even joked together. My radiance was slowly crawling up my face and it was so funny and interesting to see another side of Jonathan. A side that not a lot of his people had seen or will even see. I know that he cared for me, even though it was just a little bit, it showed in his everyday life and how he treated me and I knew that he wasn’t lying when he said that he hated me.We had gone past that.But I hadn’t. I was yet to go past that. The truth was there and so was the reality. I still remembered what Juniper had told me about his parents, how they had died one after the other and how Jonathan had locked himself up with their corpses for two weeks straight. He was still a very young boy back then and I wondered how the young boy would have felt seeing his parents die and all of his emotions, how it would have been

    Waking up the next morning with a heavy heart was expected. It took me a long time to dress up and by the time I got to the entrance of the King’s room, I paused slightly. I had to deal with Jonathan again.Taking a deep breath; I slowly knocked on the door and drifted into my ears. I pushed the door open to see that Jonathan was on the floor doing pushups with one hand. One of his hands was behind his back as he lowered himself to the ground over and over again. His upper body, which I had seen so many times, was soaked with sweat and Instinctively swallowed as I watched him.“Should I come back to your highness?” I asked and Jonathan chuckled.“No” he replied as he lowered himself to the ground and upwards a few times before He finally stood up, his whole body drenched in sweat. I stared at his upper body and followed the trail of the sweat as they ended into his trousers. My eyes snapped upwards and meant Jonathan’s amusing eyes, I immediately lowered my eyes.“My apologies, your h

    I had told myself that I had made a decision but deep down I knew that I hadn’t but the greater part of me knew that Triss was right. I had to leave, this wasn’t my home and leaving with all of the Berg’s kingdom’s secrets with my head raised high was the best form of revenge that I could do r have but as I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I was conflicted and the fact that I was conflicted further even annoyed me more. How could I be conflicted?This was a matter between staying in an enemy kingdom because someone I claimed to love who clearly didn’t love me back was here and saving my people. How could I be conf;icted on what to do?I shut my eyes taking deep breaths over and over again. Seeing Triss had brought the feeling of home back and I missed home. Her words rushed into my head and a small smile slowly formed on my face.Uncle Stefan.My favourite uncle in the whole world. He was one of the few people in the royal family that I was close to and one of the few people

    Then I waited.I counted the hours till it was past 10pm. I slowly opened my door and stepped out. Serena’s and Julianna’s voice had long quietened down and I knew that they had gone to sleep. Serena had come in earlier to check on me in the medicine room where I was pretending to work on something when clearly I couldn’t do anything. My chest was in disarray and I could only look forward to seeing my sister. I pulled the cloth on my shoulder upwards and covered my head and my face with it as I hurried down the walkways. I had never been out at this time of the day and because I was too much in an hurry and in distress, I had forgotten to check how the guys patrolled the palace but the truth was that, there were fewer guards patrolling the palace, very few people could dare to attack the king or even try to infiltrate the palace. The Berg kingdom itself was imprentable so there was exactly nothing much to raise their guards against. The Berg kingdom was also deep in the forest, if an
