"Bella, would you like to stay with Luna Kera for the meantime?" I suddenly asked, cutting her off from what she had been saying.She had been telling me about the fun rides at the carnival cruise she had gone to. "Yes, but where are you going to?" She asked, confusion evident on her face."No where, just need to take care of something""But I thought we would spend the time together. I had a lot of things to show you" said the little girl as she bowed her head and stared at her hands."Don't be sad. I thought you liked Luna Kera? Isn't she now your friend too?" I tried to cheer her up."Yes she is but I thought we would both spend some time together""I have work to do. I'm a busy lady" I placed my hands on my waist and straightened up my face like a serious busy lady I claimed to be."Indeed" Bella laughed at my actions.Though that was what I wanted.As we strolled down the beautiful crystalized staircase, walking hands in hands, I saw Lyla and Verin as they spoke at one corner.Th
"But Verin, you know I don't like it when one of your mistresses talks back at me or even dared to insult me but Nayla did. And she's just your servant girl!""She's still a Queen, you know. Besides, she must be hurting as well. She lost her husband" Verin calmed her down as he explained to Kera.Kera was surprised.Verin is supporting Nayla over her? Wait.. is he really serious right now."Are you really still going to choose her over me?! Don't talk to me Verin.Don't talk to me" she hissed as she crossed her hands over her chest."No, I'm just trying to be humane and a little considerate. Nayla lost her husband, because of me. I killed the husband of the woman whom... I don't know why I have some usual feelings for. I'm starting to feel guilty" he simply said."Wait wait wait" Kera adjusted herself to face Verin and faced him.So... He was only feeling guilty right? So he doesn't really have any feelings for Nayla right?"You're just being guilty Verin. Don't be. You did the right t
"Who's there?" Nayla asked but got no response. She looked through the keyhole again but saw nothing, and the lights was unexpectedly put off.The pitchy state retroverted.She recollected her vertigo and buckle under the realms of unconsciousness...."Where's Nayla. Please Your Majesty, take me to Nayla " cried Bella.She stood at the door of his room, hands folded together in front of her and her head facing the earth. She was scared of him, she was scared to vex him but her fear and need of Nayla was taking full control of her little senses that she couldn't hold the urge but ask.Since when Nayla was taken away, she had cried bitterly. She blamed herself for everything that just happened.The maid that took care of her in Nayla's absence consoled her but she was still feeling guilty and scared."It isn't your fault. Lady Nayla would be back okay. Just have a little patience" said the maid."But... But the King was so angered that he let them take her away and it's because of me.
I was starting to get overwhelmed by my worries.I couldn't afford Bella to go through another trauma. She was just healing from the loss of her mother.I tried running to the direction the masked men had vanished into but Lewan's strong hands held me captive."Lady Nayla, don't worry. Alpha Verin will get her back but you need to be calm. I have received orders from the Alpha that we should return to Yvan" he told me but my mind was still running like a headless chicken."But Bella""She will be fine, My Lady"We went back to the carriage and started hurrying back to Yvan kingdom.I was peeking my head out the windows every minute to see if I might find anything that can lead me to Bella. But what happened next send shivers down my spine.I was horror-stricken when a piece of Bella's skirt was thrown on my face by the wind.It was a piece of Bella's skirt and it was stained with blood.My buffeting heart increased in its race. What if... What if they had hurt her."No!" I shook my he
Nayla was appalled. He's Verin brother."You're...""Yes" he quickly cut her off as he made a small chuckle."I know you're stunned. My brother and I are too opposite worlds" he added as he retracted his posture and placed his hands into his pockets."My bad, I didn't let you in. Come into my kingdom, will you?" He stretched out a hand for her as he looked at her."I can move on my own. I'm not weak" she rejected him. Yes he was intoxicatingly beautiful but she didn't find him that way at all."Ouch. You're the snotty one" he murmured as he led the way.They both strolled, in awkward silence. "So why did you kidnap Bella and why do you need me?" Nayla tried to break the silence"Too much questions for a snotty woman like you. Just hold on, you will find out" he answered, much rudely than Verin.They passed through the thick black bushes. A thorn clutch onto Nayla's dress and as she tried to free herself, it ripped off.It had thorn and exposed her white laps. Another thorn caught the
The ivory haired man had wanted to get Nayla so they could continue their journey but Verin's brother stopped him."Let her finish with her madness. She needs it so she could be free of her burdens and her heart would be free from all those rubbish emotions" he told the ivory haired man"But" the man was still a bit persistent but Verin's brother's face was so serious that he only could just complyNayla squatted down as she rested her head in between her laps." I hate all these! " She cries." Don't cry Nayla. You're only feeling this because you are stubborn" the voice of her mysterious well wisher appeared in her head.She raised her head and saw the elegant woman, wearing a black gown. "Thank goodness you are here. I am so""Confused" the woman completed."Nayla, you're only being stubborn. The signs are there" the woman said to her." What signs?" Nayla was confused."You're in love. You have fallen for Verin but you refused to accept it" the woman said to her.Nayla was now st
The palace looked deserted and forest-like. The premises grew grasses, what surrounded the palace were bushes and thick sharp thorns.Just as Verin stood gracefully on the walls a voice echoed, so authoritatively in the premises."I know you would come brother" Rayman said."Stepbrother" Verin hissed as he corrected."But we're of the same Father" Rayman smirked as he surveyed Verin.He was sitting on a majestically decorated throne, just at the corridor of the courtroom that faced the grassy premises.The palace was awfully quiet and looked deserted."He is not my father!" Verin growled."Oops, but Atlana is his wife" Rayman taunted" Don't you dare mention my mother's name, Rayman!" Verin's intimidating aura blazed, taking the atmosphere under it's control.The atmosphere became tensed. Everyone felt captivated and spellbounded by Verin's sudden appearance.He was looking so scary and invincible that even Rayman started to get unknowingly scared to his wits."Why are you here?" Raym
Nedan faced Verin and brought out his sword. He started to attack every men that came his way.He was strong, but was surprised that the men were much stronger.But still, he didn't give up and kept fighting till his last breath.He was ready to protect Nayla. He was ready to give his all."Why don't you just give it up? You're loosing anyway" Verin smugged at him."I won't rest until I give my everything to protect my wife" replied Nedan, still attacking. Suddenly he threw his sword and it sliced some strands of Verin's hair. This action seem to have angered Verin.Verin swiftly slashed his dagger at Nedan's neck and Nedan fell to the ground, weak.Nedan carried his head up to face Verin, though still weak."You're nothing but a weakling" Verin gave a smug smirk."You might be the winner, but I will never bow to you. And I know my wife will forever carry me in her heart and will avenge my death" Nedan hissed.He turned to the carriage and faced Nayla again.She was running after him
