2025-01-18 22:20:54The war came faster than I thought, two days later, the pack had changed and there was more training than I had ever seen. I had not been to a lot of places in the kingdom and it was until when me and Serena were required to go and serve Jonathan food at another side of the kingdom which I had never been to, it was then I realized that a whole section of the kingdom had been cut off for training of soldiers. I had always wondered why I never saw them or ran into them.
The guards were more fearful and they consisted mainly of Alphas and Betas and with just one look, I knew how strong they were. Going over to serve Jonathan his food was now becoming a new normal.
“They are riding out to war tomorrow morning” Serena said and I raised my head upwards. I swatted the clothes in my hands and spread them over the railings.
“That’s good” I replied absentmindedly and Serena sighed.
“What are you thinking about again?” She asked and I chuckled softly, “What do you mean what am I thinking about again?” I replied and she folded her hands.
“You have it written all over your face” she replied and I frowned, “That’s such a stab to my heart who thought I was getting better at hiding my thoughts” I replied and Serena laughed.
“You actually are but I know when something is wrong with you” she stated and I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Oh really?” I asked and Serena shrugged her shoulders, “Yes. I know you do have something bothering you and I know that it has to do with the war” she added and I swallowed hard.
The war.
It was something to be something I was barely bothered about. I shouldn’t have thought about it too much but I did and now I was considering all the options for the outcome of the war. The details of the war was barely leaked out but I did recognize the name of the kingdom they were going to war with. The Ragan Kingdom, it was a kingdom as large as my home kingdom and they were strong as well.
If Jonathan lost the war, I didn’t want to be taken as a war prisoner, I knew it was going to be much worse and it was going to be more shameful for my family and my kingdom.
I also thought about escaping. Everyone was so focused on the war, I could pretend to be a soldier and escape and get back home and we would be more than sufficient enough to fight Jonathan and win victoriously. The only reason why my kingdom was helpless against him was because of him.
“You are lost in your thoughts again” Serena’s voice brought me out of my thoughts and I sighed.
“I’m wondering how to get out of here” I replied honestly and it surprised me. Serena nodded her head.
“I understand, if I were you, I would always want to run away so I don’t blame you Amira. I know that you want to go home and I want you to go home too” Serena replied and a small smile spread across my lips.
“If wishes could get me back home, I would be home by now” I joked and we both laughed.
“You might be thinking that you can escape with this war but you can’t Amira” Serena revealed and I swallowed ignoring the tall bucket of clothes that I was yet to spread.
“What makes you think so? Do you think I cannot escape?” I asked and Serena laughed.
“Nothing like that Amira, you are smart and agile and good at fighting and all of that but you cannot escape here Amira. Not from the King” Serena replied softly and I slowly sat down beside her.
“Why do you think so?” I asked slowly.
“Because you are the King’s most prized prisoner. Not because he went through stress to find you and all of that, you and I know that he found you by mistake but because of the amount of hatred he has for your father. He has killed him but unfortunately, that hatred is deeply rooted in his heart and you are the only way he can let out that hatred. He’s never gonna let you go” Serena replied and I sucked in a breadth forcing back the tears that rushed to my eyes.
“But why must he hate me?” I asked slowly, my voice breaking and betraying my emotions.
“I am not my father. It was my father’s mistake, I don’t even know the full story of that war and what happened and it has been so many years ago. He has finally killed my father, he hates me but he won’t let me die, he won’t let me be on my own, what exactly does he want from me?” I asked as the tears I tried to force back rolled down my cheeks.
“Why must my life be at the mercy of someone else?” I asked as my sobs choked my words.
“Is it now a sin to be the daughter of my father? Is that my only mistake? Should I have asked the moon goddess for another family? Should I start wishing that I was born to an ordinary family? Would that have guaranteed my life?” I asked again as Serena moved closer to me and pulled me into her arms.
“Why is the mood goddess so cruel to me? What have I done wrong?” I asked again, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Amira, I’m so sorry” Serena whispered, rubbing my back slowly.
The moon goddess owed me too much and it was unfair. Serena buried my head in her chest as sobs raked through me. It was so unfair, she watched as they took my father, took my life and even wouldn’t allow me to be an Omega and made me a beta. To most people, I wasn’t even a woman, I was just a prisoner and I hated it.
The moon goddess was cruel and my reality was crueler.

Very early the next morning, I watched as the soldiers rode out with horses and the entire kingdom was lit up with flares even though it was only 5 am in the morning. I hugged my arms to myself while Lillian and Serena stood beside me watching the horde of soldiers.Jonathan’s voice rang in the whole courtyard and I could feel prickles on my skin from his loud voice.“We are people of pride and we have customs and traditions, we would never let anyone insult us and go scot free!’ Jonathan announced and a loud scream from the soldiers followed. “So today, we go and we fight,” he continued.“We fight,” the soldiers screamed again.“And we come back victorious” Jonathan added and the soldiers screamed again.I watched emotionlessly, I didn’t know what to feel. I watched as Jonathan finally got down from the horse and walked towards the high priestess and her entourage and knelt down in front of her. She sprinkled some water on him and bent down to tie a rope around his arm and smiled at

Barely two hours after the soldiers left, a loud rumble accompanied with thunder and lightning rang in the entire kingdom and we rushed out of our rooms to see what was going on. The clearing skies had turned so much darker with thunder and lightning and they rumbled so loudly that it sent chills down my spine. The entire kingdom was covered in dark clouds and it looked as though it was past 9pm in the evening except that these clouds were accompanied with an eerie chill that was unmistakable.“What is going on?” I whispered as a loud streak of thunder rang in the skies again and everyone had to cover their ears in fear.“This is not good at all,” Serena said, keeping her eyes on the clouds that were getting even darker than before.“It’s not even the rainy season” Lillian bellowed, “Why are the clouds so dark? What is going on?” she asked and we looked around seeing the palace guards themselves wearing worried expressions.“Those clouds are too dark for my liking,” Serena admitted, f

Nobody knew how much time had passed when we started hearing the hooves of horses. Without thinking, I jumped off my bed and rushed towards the door.“They are back!”“They are back”Yells that the soldiers were back rang in the hall and Serena and Lillian also jumped off their beds rushing out of the door towards the huge courtyard and then I saw red.So red that I was almost blinded by it. I blinked my eyes, trying to wonder what could be this red and it took me a while before I realized what I was staring at. It was blood. Bloodied soldiers spread across the courtyard and I covered my mouth in shock as I staggered backwards.“Oh my god” Lillian whispered and I could clearly hear the sob that choked in her throat.I watched as more and more soldiers were carried into the courtyard and then Masoma appeared in a hurry. I could see the worry and fear in her eyes as she moved around the soldiers throwing out instructions to them in quick, practiced manners.She was trying to be calm but

Masoma’s words washed over me, over and again.Amira, under your watch, no harm comes to the King”I paused my movement slowly, staring at Jonathan who was motionless on the bed. His face was pale from his constant loss of blood and I couldn't imagine the sneer or scowl that he usually wore. On the bed with his eyes closed, he couldn't maliciously call me princess or strangle me or make life hell for me. Memories flooded my head as I kept staring at him while my face remained blank. He was harmless just like this on the bed and if I just stopped cleaning up his blood or stopped trying to stop his bleeding, he would most likely die; like I always wanted to.It was a case of reversed situations. This time around, I had the upper hand and he was the one who needed my help to live. The feeling courses through me and a small chuckle escapes my lips. I folded my hands as I kept staring at his unloving body, the blood had dyed the bed red and it wasn't stopping anytime soon. “Should I le

I didn’t think that I would have to watch Jonathan seriously like Masoma had claimed but the time soon came and it was even harder than I thought. Grinding herbs and applying them to his stabs every two hours was the easy part. I took liberty and asked some of the guards to help me with grinding and they gladly did and my only major job was to apply the herbs.It was tough to just stare at Jonathan without being able to kill him but then I had given Masoma my word that no harm would come to him. Just because they all saw that I was working tirelessly to save their king, the way the guards treated me was slightly better. And then like Masoma had said, his temperature did start to rise.I had to get warm basin’s of water and using a cloth to rub all over his body, over and over again but for some reason, the cloth and the water were the ones getting hot and soon the guards were running in and out with numerous clothes and basins of water while I tried hard to lower his temperature.

THIRD PERSON’S POVMasoma hurried into the room dropping off her box of needles as soon as she saw that Jonathan was awake.“Thank goodness” she muttered as she moved towards him to examine him but Jonathan was in a foul mood but she didn’t care. Being in a foul mood was his default setting and she was too worried about his health to be worried about why he was in a foul mood.“You are fine now. I need to concoct more potions for you and watch what you eat, you need to replenish your blood back” Masoma finally spoke and Jonathan glanced at her, sighing softly.“Thank you” he said softly and Masoma scoffed.“Don’t thank me Your Highness, what you did was risky” Masoma replied, “I know you love your people and your soldiers? Even more, I know and I know it so well but jumping in like that to save them at the expense of your own life is what I will not subscribe to” she added.“Was I supposed to just watch?” Jonathan questioned with an edge in his voice and Masoma shook her head.“No. I

AMIRA’S POVI didn’t know when I slept off or how I slept off. All I knew was that I had cried for a reasonable amount of time before I slowly drifted to sleep. All Serena had done was pet me and ask me to stop crying but there was no way I could.Jonathan’s words, his sneering and angry gaze at me still felt directed to me even if he was no longer in front of me. His words had infiltrated into my soft tissues, even though I thought and believed that I had built enough walls to protect myself. Apparently, I was wrong, very wrong.I was so wrong, that no matter how strong the walls were, Jonathan could easily break them down with a look and I hated it. I wonder how all of the guards would look at me from now henceforth. I had tried my best to save the king but in return, he had given me even a harsher experience, it was tough not to imagine maybe their scoffing looks or maybe their pitiful looks and the truth was that I wanted none of them. I didn’t want the pitiful looks or the scoffi

“You can’t keep avoiding the king you know” Serena muttered as soon as we had stepped into the room. I glanced at her and chuckled, “Aren’t you doing just fine?” I asked and Serena laughed, shaking her head.“Of course I am but you are not going to avoid him forever. It’s been two weeks” Serena replied and I shrugged my shoulders, “We can go on like this” I replied as I climbed into my bed.“But you said for a while” Serena interjected and I swallowed, crossing my legs beneath me and adjusting my posture so that I would be facing Serena.“Do you want to exchange that badly?” I asked her, my voice getting smaller and Serena shook her head, “He didn’t know. Kareem told me he didn’t know” she replied and I pulled my eyebrows back in surprise.“Kareem? Are you talking about Commander Kareem?” I asked and Serena’s lips parted as she immediately turned her, coughing while an amused smile crawled up my lips.“I didn’t know you two were on a first name basis” I continued and Serena turned to

It was a speculation in my heart and all of a sudden it had taken root. I shook the thought away as I headed straight to the clinic. I was finally starting at the clinic and I was excited for everything I would learn and do, everything that I would be there. It felt like I finally somewhat had a purpose. I wasn’t just slaving myself away here.I kept walking towards the clinic and when I arrived, I stared at the front, remembering the first two times I came by and for the first time, I was coming solely for myself. I easily found my way in. Masoma and her other clinic attendants were already working by the time I arrived and she immediately left them and came to me.“You are late” she said and I winced.“I’m sorry. I’ll be earlier” I replied and Masoma nodded.“It’s not a big deal. You can inform me if your chores are a lot and you are going to be late” she replied and I nodded.“Thank you” I said softly.“So it’s your first day and I’ll ask someone to take you around later.

I stared into space thinking about Juniper's words, “She killed herself?” I whispered and Juniper nodded. “Yes. The whole kingdom was thrown into turmoil. Our King and Queen had departed just like that” he continued explaining while I just listened.“I thought your people didn’t like the Queen?” I asked and Juniper laughed.“Not at all. The council of elders had an elder who had a daughter who wanted to marry the king so he was bitter and besides it was against the laws of the kingdom but King Avery? He bent the law for her and Queen Tera was a beautiful Queen. She was kind and thoughtful and we all love her. Our people loved the King and Queen because in every way, they were amazing and they were kind. They loved us and we loved them in return” he replied as my eyes softened.“So imagine the kingdom when they both died, a little more than one week to each other” Juniper continued softly.“The whole kingdom was thrown into the morning, we couldn’t understand it. When the king died, p

I quickly packed my tools out of the room and took a glance at Jonathan. He had a blank face and an unreadable expression and I tried to think or guess about what could have gone wrong but he didn’t look like he wanted to talk.“Lock the door and take the key with you” he said in a soft voice and I glanced at him and nodded as I locked the door.“You can leave” he said as he climbed into the bed and closed his eyes. I stared at him wondering what was going on. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to me.“Do you need something?” He asked and I opened my mouth to speak and I shook my head at the end.“Nothing of such your Highness. Please rest well, I’ll prevent anyone from disturbing you” I replied as I grabbed my tools and walked out the room closing the door on my way out.I walked out of the room, my back covered in sweat. The footsteps had made me jump in fright and I was scared that Jonathan would see me. I didn’t know why I had hidden the journal back and then I secretly hoped th

I watched Jonathan exit the room and I walked towards the store, standing in front of the door not knowing what to do. I was feeling apprehensive whether to open the door or not. I had almost asked Jonathan what was behind the door and I had stopped myself. If he wouldn’t tell me what the store and I found out on my own, I didn’t think he was going to like it so a better option was to keep quiet and allow him to tell him myself but I have a feeling that If i stepped into the room it was going to be obvious that the room belonged to is mother.I sucked in my breadth and backed away from the door staring at the door. I dangled the rusted keys in my hand, swallowing hard. I had no idea when last they cleaned the room, if it would be dirty or how it was going to look like. Jonathan had gone for a council meeting so I knew that he was going to take a long time before he came back but something also told me that he had intentionally found an excuse to leave the room because I was going to c

A lot of questions swirled in my head as I approached Jonathan’s room, I didn’t know where to start from, I didn’t know what to ask. Serena's words from the day before were yet to leave me. It was hard to believe that Jonathan had actually asked me to clean his mother’s store.Why? Was he hoping to torture me? Why would he want me to clean the store?I didn’t tell Serena that Jonathan had asked me to clean the store, I didn’t know what her reaction would be like, I didn’t even know how I was feeling either.I pushed the room door open and stepped inside, “Good morning Your Highness” I greeted him and Jonathan merely nodded at me, his face blank. My stomach churned at the look on his face, it told me that he was in a bad mood and insanity knew that I had to be careful myself. I couldn’t afford getting into his bad books anytime soon.I immediately washed my hands and walked towards the table, bringing out everything I needed to change his bandage and his herbs.“Masoma said you will be

“You sent him over” Serena complained but I doubted she was complaining. A small smile crawled up my face as I shrugged.“Are you complaining that I did?” I asked and Serena immediately shook her head, “Not at all” she replied chuckling.“When I saw him what did you expect me to do? You've been sulking for the past few days now, so of course I had to ask him to do some explanation but I figured out that it was also going to be better for me to do the explanation in person” I added and Serena chuckled.“Alright, alright” She replied and I nodded, feeling affected by Serena’s bustling mood.“So what did he say?” I asked and Serena sighed, getting serious.“The war aftermath was serious, the council of elders are throwing a fit, they are attributing the win as a loss because of the way things turned out and now they are implementing more strategies against wars and everything” Serena replied and I leaned on my back.“What strategies, this is a rogue kingdom, independent of every kingdom

As I marched towards the kingdom’s clinic, I wondered if what I was doing was right. It was quite rude to conclude that going straight to the kingdom’s clinic was the immediate action to take after speaking to Kareem. What he had said about Masoma had stayed with me, very few people had been nice to me since I got to the Berg kingdom and I was also quick to realize that Masoma was part of them.I vividly remembered the day my former roommates had beaten me after they had starved me till I had fainted. I remembered her words at the clinic that day as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I also remembered wondering what her words would mean, if it meant that she was on my side or not or if she was just waving me away. But now, I knew she was on my side and I’m suddenly realizing that she might have even spoken like that so intentionally so that Jonathan would take action but it was a speculation, she also didn’t somehow speculate that Jonathan would ask me to move to the palace, did sh

I didn’t know how but all of a sudden it became my responsibility to start cleaning Jonathan’s room and changing his bandages. The second day I got there to clean, he hadn’t even bothered trying and just sat down there and the moment I walked into the room, he simply stared at me and in all my shock told me, I need help. I was flustered and shocked and it made me laugh but I still bent down and helped him anyway.It was surprising seeing all the new side of Jonatahn, a side that he only showed his people, people he didn’t hate which unfortunately I wasn’t part of.One week after cleaning Jnathan’s room and changing his bandages, we had started engaging in small talk much to my surprise. Jonathan still had not gotten rid of his sarcasm towards me but his sarcasm this time around was no longer spiteful or infused with hatred like before, his sarcasm was starting to be more like he needed to keep up appearances which was funny but I was sure of one fact, just because he allowed me to cle

I cleaned the room in silence while Jonathan just laid on the bed, his eyes closed. I had no idea of what he was thinking or doing but I could care less. I was still reeling from the fact that Jonathan had thanked me, thanked me in a way that wasn’t repulsive. He hadn’t sounded sarcastic like he always used to. He sounded genuinely grateful and that was enough to make my day.I finished cleaning and I realized that Jonathan was still lying down on the bed. I didn’t know whether he had fallen asleep or if he was just meditating. I stared at his face, his soft and clear skin.Jonathan would always look good, I told myself. Whether he hated me or not, the slight arc of lips and his bridged nose that stood prideful, his brows were full and for a man, Jonathan did have really long lashes that was very noticeable. His bandaged arm was resting beside him quietly while the other one was thrown mercilessly underneath his head.He looked almost peaceful, almost perfect, almost ordinary but I kn
