Fairy King "I want to go now, I don't see what the delay is for?" I was frustrated, most of my good warriors were killed at Malraux kingdom. Those bastards were going to pay for what they did to my daughter. Those sons of bitches killed her like a dog. They didn't even give me her head!"My king, we still training those warriors, they are not as good as the delta team we lost. We must at least get them to an acceptable standard before going back to the Malraux kingdom." I glared at him. Didn't he think I knew that, why did he think I was so frustrated?"It's fine, we will be going there in a month, I don't care if they are ready. My daughter can't be buried without a head!" The head warrior lowered his head not saying anything. How was he going to feel if this was one of his children?"Now bring me the guards who were here when that damn prince escaped our prison. You lot are so useless! How do you let a man we have kept locked up for many years escape like that, what are you all goo
Christina Ianna's father seemed like a good man but he was cruel. He didn't care that I was the same age as his daughter and he didn't care about my reasons. The man broke my ankle bone and the pain I felt from that was like nothing I had ever felt before. Mama took care of me and even called a doctor to come take a look at my ankle. The way he was looking at me while working told me that he knew what I did and didn't approve. I didn't know who the hell he thought he was to judge me like that. None of them knew what I was going through. They were not going to lose anything when Ianna's father took over. They get to keep their jobs and life for them goes on as if nothing happened. So, what right did they have to look at me differently? None whatsoever.What I couldn't take was mama's disappointed look. I never wanted to disappoint that woman and yet I did. "Am sorry mama." I told her, but she didn't even spare me a glance. She continued to change and dress my foot. She was careful
Christina It felt like the sunset right in the middle of the day for me. As everything of mine went dark and i could not see the light or the way out of the dark. I was asked to leave the only home I have ever known and to go where? I didn't know myself. I was fighting to stay in that palace, to keep my home but I ended up losing it anyway. Just what did people mean when they say we should fight for what we want? Because i did, i fought for my home and yet I lost it.My brother wanted me dead and for what? I told him that I don't want to lose my home and he kept telling me about not struggling even if we lose it. I didn't want to lose it in the first place. Who said I wanted to leave and start another life somewhere? It was his fault for assuming I agree with him."Where will I go Adolph, who would I be if not the princess of Malraux kingdom? What would I even do for a living?" I didn't think he and mama thought this through. I have never worked a day in my life and now this."I will
Christina Adolph paced around the room giving me a headache. I didn't know what he was upset about, what I was suggesting was going to help us both. "Would you please stop pacing, it's driving me crazy!" He stopped and threw a glare my way."It's driving you crazy, huh? How the hell do you think I feel about... this?" He said pointing at the omegas dead body at his feet. I shrugged and he chuckled in frustration. "Little girl, you are leaving this palace, tonight!" He walked to the door then turned back."I will not be staying here with you while you go around the palace killing people Not only that, you still want to try again with our brother's mate! How long do you think it will take Aegen to find you and end you?" I shrugged once again. If I was careful then our brother might not even know I was still in the palace."No! You do not get to smirk like that like some evil woman, which you might be turning into, I don't know. But, our brother is not stupid, never was and never will
Christina I drove to the fairy kingdom with a heavy heart. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would be doing things today. Betraying my family and my kingdom. But they gave me no choice in the matter, my brother wanted me dead for someone he met only yesterday.My other brother wanted me gone to protect me, which I understand but i wished he could have done more. Fought for me more. But he didn't. Mama was disappointed in me and I didn't know what she expected me to do in that situation.None of them understood what I was going through but maybe with the fairy King by my side, they will finally understand. I was not doing this because I wanted to or because I hated them. But because they gave me no other choice but to do what I was doing. I hated it but sometimes we have to make difficult decisions to help those we love and they might not get it or like it at first. But in the long run they were all going to see that, I did this for all of us, for our own good.
Ianna I tried opening my eyes but they felt sticky and wouldn't open. I could feel someone holding my hand but I couldn't tell who it was. I tried opening my eyes multiple times before finally managing to. I blinked a couple of times clearing them. I scanned the room, on the far corner by the door, stood Aegen leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, if I didn't know better I would say he was sleeping. Then on my side was my father, he was the one holding my hand. I moved my fingers a little and I got no reaction from him. I moved them again and he jumped almost falling from the chair. He looked up at me and he teared up. "OH, my baby. You are awake, how are you feeling?" I opened my mouth to speak but it was dry. My throat felt like sand paper. I pointed at my throat and Aegen gave a water to drink. I didn't even see when he got closer. He had this guilty look and wouldn't meet my eyes. "Thank you." I said with my voice sounding terrible. I was in the hospital that I knew.
IANNAThe next two days after that conversation with Aegen felt long and unbearable in the hospital. I never got to just lay in bed when I was sick, my mother made me work sick as I was and now, I had two men who refused to let me leave the hospital even though I was feeling fine.I wanted to leave so I could go and see Christina. Aegen refused to tell me anything about her and that got me worried. I have been trying to convince him to let her go and get her help, but he would hear none of it.The worse part was that my father was on his side. Aegenโs mother walked in, it was embarrassing how I always met the woman under dubious circumstances. She smiled at me placing a plate of food next to me then took a seat.โHow are you feeling?โ I sat up but she stopped me. โDonโt get up on my account.โ I shook my head. โNo, am fine, really. Itโs just my father and Aegen who refuse to let me leave this place.โ She smiled fondly at me.I never had a mother figure look at me that way before and it
IANNAI looked at my father hoping he was going to say something to contradict what Aegenโs mother said but he still kept his mouth shut. โDad?โ he glanced at me then sighed taking a seat next to my bed.โIanna, you must understand. I am a parent, your father and if I didnโt do what I did. That girl would have let you die. I couldnโt let that happen, not when I just got you back.โ He took my hand.โI have not been there for you for many years, and I will be damned if I let people hurt you while I am here. So, yes. I did break one bone on that girlโs foot, and it helped too because she told me the poison she used.โI still could not believe that Christina poisoned me. Did her fatherโs death affect her that much, was that why she did that? I didnโt want to believe that she did it to get rid of me or that she didnโt like me as a person and a friend.โDoes Aegen know that she left, does Adolph? He must know where she went. She couldnโt have left without telling Adolph anything.โ Aegenโs m
AEGENThe guard went looking for Iannaโs phone in all the places she went to toady, but he could not find it. I tried calling it again, but it kept ringing with no answer. I didnโt think much of it when I asked my head of security to track it.But I started to worry when she told me that she tracked it to the woods close to our spot. Our spot was between the palace and the deep-water pack. There were only three people who knew about that spot and one of them was dead.Me, Ianna, and my dead sister. Also, I knew that Ianna would not have gone to that spot without me. We promised we would find time to go there together. Plus, the guard said she never left the palace grounds since I left.That only meant one thing, that her phone was stolen, and the culprit was someone who worked in the palace. I wouldnโt have cared about finding the phone if it wasnโt for the serial killer we had in our hands.I could not take any chances and there were no coincidences with these kinds of things. So, I
IannaI studied until noon then I went and got lunch for myself. I was starting to feel dizzy, and I knew it was because I didnโt eat breakfast. Aegen would have been angry with me if he knew I didnโt eat breakfast.He would have accused me of starving his child. Not knowing that I didnโt have appetite this morning. After eating, I felt sleepy, and I decided to go and take a nap for a while before going back to my studies.The week has ended and there were still no new leads on the serial killer. Aegen was getting frustrated by all of it. I could hear it in his voice very time we spoke on the phone. But there was nothing either of us could do about it.This person has to be stopped. One way or the other he has to be found. I told my guard I was going to take a nap for a while and that he should not let anyone disturb me. I missed having a friend in the palace.Now that Aegen was not here, I didnโt have anyone to talk to. It was lonely. The omega bless their souls try to talk to me and
AEGENLeaving the palace was difficult, not it was not but leaving Ianna was. Especially now, knowing that she might be in danger. We didnโt know who this was, we didnโt know where he was. He could be at the palace for all we knew and yet. I was leaving her behind.My heart was not at ease, but I had to go. She wanted me to be the best warrior in the kingdom and not her mate and father of her unborn child. She trusted me to get this person and put this matter to rest.It has been a week since I left her, and three more people have been killed so far. A she-wolf from the silver moon pack and a close guard to the young alpha of the deep-water pack. Jeyden. He too was killed the same way as the others.Another was the young alpha from the Golden Moon pack and this one was a friend of Jeyden. Now I believed that the person who was doing all the killings was after Jeyden, but we still didnโt know why.We were now back at the Deep-Water pack to question the kid. I want thinking this person
IANNAI sat there listening to Damon explain about this serial killer and I didnโt know what to do. Aegen and I have just taken over as leaders of the kingdom and yet the very first challenge we had on our hands had nothing to do with finances.Resolving pack disputes, no, our problem was bigger than anyone elseโs. we had a serial killer in our hands, and we had no idea what to do or how to stop the person. I hear Damon saying they are trying to figure out what this person wanted, and I couldnโt care less about that.I wanted the person can be found. The only way to know what the person wanted was to find them and question them. โTell me Damon, since you and my father have discovered what this personโs Amo is, have you not discovered what he wants already?โI mean, his actions and the scorpion should give them an idea what he wants. โItโs not that simple with this person. The Amo is the same, but that doesnโt give us anything at all. Just some killings done by the same person nothing
AEGENI watched from the window as my mother and Iannaโs father got into the car and left. She has been trying to talk to me since the coronation, but I would not hear any of it. She did something wrong and she needed to know that and learn.This is how Christina started her evil ways and because I forgave her when she did that. She continued to a point that she ended up almost killing my mate. Mother needs to know that we donโt do things like that I was not going to allow her to start now.What she did was vindictive for no reason because Iannaโs father chose her. Why did she have to go the extra mile rubbing it. That is one thing I will never understand.Ianna came and stood behind me. โYou should have said goodbye to her.โ I scoffed. โShe is not dying but leaving the kingdom.โ She came and stood in front of me. โYou are going to miss her.โI took her into my arms inhaling her scent. โOf course. I will miss her; she is my mother after all and I love her. But, not enough to encourage
MICHAELIt was so good to see how well she was received by the kingdom. I knew they would be like that as soon as they knew who she really was. She too looked happy, I didnโt know if it was because of the crown or the pregnancy. But it didnโt matter.What mattered was that she was happy. But I wouldnโt say the same about Aegen, he looked bothered before going to be crowned. I asked his mother to go and talk to him. I didnโt want him taking the crown if he didnโt want to.My daughter deserved more than that, though I didnโt think being with her was the problem. I was sure it had something to do with his family. That was why I asked his mother to talk to him.โPenny for your thoughts?โ I snapped out of it. โI was just thinking about Aegen and what could be bothering him on a day like this. Doesnโt he want the child?โ I asked his mother. I didnโt know what to think and I didnโt want to leave Ianna if things were not right with them.โNo, itโs not that, he is looking forward to being a fa
AEGEN I didnโt know what to say when she told me that she was pregnant. Of course, I was happy but damn it. Did she have to tell me in front of all those people. How I had to restrain myself and not act cry in front of them.I was going to be their king after all. I pulled her gently close to me and whispered. โYou are a very cruel queen and you have not even been crowned yet.โ She chuckled. โWhy would my kind say something like that on such a day.โI gave her a playful glare. โYou told me this here on purpose knowing very well I canโt do what I want to do to you. How could you do that if you were not cruel?โ she laughed. โWell, Malraux kingdom, I think we should crown them now before they show us things we are not prepared to see.โThat fucking elder said making the crow laugh at our expense. โThis is not over, not by a long shot my dear queen.โ I whispered to her, and she blushed. I could not believe she was carrying my child.No wonder she was adamant on finishing her studies ear
IANNATwo months have passed, and it was the day of the coronation. Today Aegen and I are going to be crowned king and queen of the kingdom then my father will leave with Aegenโs mother to lead the fairies. I still canโt believe those two. But they were happy and there was nothing I could do about it.I was happy for them. Aegen and I have been happy, and we are expecting. But I have not told him about that yet. I plan to tell him after the coronation. To surprise him, am sure he is going to be happy about it.Damon also took the girl from the deep-water pack as his mate, and I believe she had made him soft if I dare say. โI canโt believe this is happening, it is packed out there that it got me scared a little.โ He said coming in.I turned to look at him and fixed his tie. โWell, you better get rid of that fear because it is happening. We didnโt want to go to the fairy kingdom, and this is what we got.โ He sighed pouting. I kissed him.โDonโt stop, why are you stopping?โ I chuckled mo
LUPEI felt sorry for my daughter, the Goddess knows I do but I could not take it anymore. It was too much. The only thing she has been doing through all of this is complain, call me stupid and asking me why I didnโt kill my other daughter.I was tired of it, we have done enough and the reason we were now going to live with the humans, it was because of us. We did this to ourselves, and we had no one else to blame but ourselves. Me especially, I am her mother, and I should have taught her right from wrong.But I didnโt and now it was too late to do anything. โLissa, go get your bags so we can leave.โ She scoffed. โDidnโt you hear what I said mom, I want them to pay for what they did to me. You have to do something.โThis child is driving me insane and if she continues this way. I am going to lose my mind and I donโt know what she will do then when I am cray. โYou will get me in the car and if you are not there in the next twenty minutes. I am going to leave without you.โI told her th
