I wondered why the thought or sight of Douglas shot electricity through my spines. It has come way too much often in me that I have to remind myself of my original status and mission. "Well, you know I'm not here to crush on him but I have my own feelings towards him.""I knew you've something cooking up in your mind towards that handsome prince." Eva teased, rolling her eyes."Shhhh!" I gestured with my index finger placed across my lips. "Who tells you that?" "I know that." Her voice was so confident even though she was smiling sweetly like I had achieved a fortune she really admired and cherished, even more than myself. "Eva, I'm here to help Douglas out of the prison and nothing more. Don't you pity seeing your prince and the rightful king in prison, that you're here talking about love?" Eva seemed not to be bothered by my statement, the mindset that I was crushing on the prince had so soaked her mind to ponder on reality. I wasn't into Douglas that way, the way she thought al
I was busy straining my head and eyes, trying to figure out who it was that Eva was referring to. By the way she looked in that direction, I suspected it was no joke. But what would Douglas be doing here when he was imprisoned?The sound of my phone notification draws my attention from the direction I was looking. Avelyn Cian appears on top of my screen, she was the Chief of Staff at my foundation. It must be something really serious. I opened the message body to see the greatest shock of my life."Ahhhh!" I exclaimed with my eyes and mouth very wide apart. No one must have noticed except Eva sitted opposite me. A popular music played at the moment and people's attention was directed towards it. They swayed their bodies according to the rhythm.In the picture she sent, Douglas was lying bandaged at various parts of his body. "He was severely beaten by the guards upon the order of Queen Pandora as she came to visit." I wept as I read Avelyn's statement. What did Douglas do to deserve a
The vile creatures snarled and dashed towards us, on top of the car. With my power I made Eva strong and fearless, so she'd be able to handle these creatures. The battle started and I was merciless at slaying these evil creatures who were sent to assassinate us. Perhaps Pandora knew I was gonna come visit Douglas. No! She doesn't have the power to monitor my every step any more. I had seized such power from her but that didn't mean she couldn't spy on others spiritually. She must have detected Avelyn or her mate who informed her of this. Whatever, it was from another person, not me. She got to know this from another shifter.Before, witches and vampires weren't in the wolf world. Being the greatest enemies of our species, they stayed far away, perhaps in their own territory but after Pandora assumed the position of the luna queen, things changed. Imagine how witches and vampires, hybrids, would possess the courage to not only come within the territories of the werewolves but attempt
Once outside I prayed silently in me that we would not come in contact with anything that would delay our journey to the hospital. Not like I was afraid of any creature or something but I just wanted to rush Douglas as fast as I could to the hospital three kilometers away. I covered Douglas with a coat, he lay at the back resting on Eva's laps. I assigned her to take care of him as I drove although he was unconscious. I didn't really know what was happening to him right now, his medical state. "Is he breathing?" I asked Eva with a confused voice. "No, he isn't." My heart grew more panicky. For some time now I didn't know Eva was crying silently behind. Horror greater than that from the sight of demons, dragons and great evil powers sparked inside me and ran across my spine.The white light from a distance signaled Annah Merson Memorial Hospital. It's named after one of the greatest female medical doctors from Vienna. She lived a great, outstanding life and left a unique legacy. For
The doctor dressed in his white coat on top of his main clothes and a stethoscope hung over his beck walked majestically towards us with a worried but serious look on his face. I sensed disaster. With every step he took, my eyes were constantly watching him."Hello!" He waved his hand coldly, by the look on his face, I felt something not so good was about to happen or had already happened. "He's not responding to treatment," my heart dropped when he said this. Eva got so down and weakened. Sure, Pandora was gonna laugh at us. This' what she's been wishing for ever since Douglas entered into this prison life.Something marveled me in the midst of my sorrows, no one recognized Douglas as the prince, me neither. I was stunned. Everyone would rise up and bow low before Pandora if she was the one that came here. I smirked.Remembering what the doctor said, tears flowed from my eyes, down my face. "Is he alive?" I managed to ask. "I can't say that for now, more information will be communic
I walked on the wings of the celestial realm to my palace, the grand palace of the moon goddess. For the meantime, I was back. The golden sunlight shining on the moon greets me, it looks like when I left. Nothing seemed to change about the moon until I gazed into the horizon, towards the north and south poles. They were covered in slight darkness which seemed to be spreading slowly over other areas."This' what Lucinda must have implied!" I said to myself, now walking on the gold corridor of my castle. No one must have noticed my homecoming but I think Lucinda must have gone to do her job, she's not by my side now. When I arrived at the entrance of the castle, the chief celestial guard was at the side to welcome me. He bowed low and paid homage to me, I placed my golden staff on his back without a word, I had accepted his greetings though I said nothing. My subjects were all present inside to give me a glorious welcome. On a normal occasion, I would stop over to address them and say
To really defeat my rival, Devon and Pandora, I need to know almost everything about them and their celestial powers. I already have a knowledge of who they are but I need more. In real life as well as in the celestial, knowledge was not enough. We kept learning. This' just what I'm determined to do now. I intended going into the dark palace, as it would be rightly addressed for it was really dark. It took my celestial eyes to navigate my way through it especially as I was not a dark alien in reality but just pretending.I went towards the entrance of the dark palace but then my mind told me to do otherwise. I have to travel and see the pace the darkness from Devon had traveled to. At least I need to begin my investigation here before I assess my own world. To succeed in any conflict, you ought to detect the source of the problem or where the issue emanates from. I think from here it would be much easier to navigate the problem and proffer remedies for my world."Heyy, come here bud
"Who is she?" Douglas asked in a gentle voice, peering at me with sleepy eyes. I had this physical body you could touch the same with Lucinda who was taking care of him while I was away. Though I could be physically seen, Douglas didn't recognize me because I had changed a lot starting from my hair to everything. "She's your savior!" I stared interestingly into his eyes, our eyes were locked. I smiled warmly at him and took him from Lucinda's arms. As I slowly placed him on my chest, a great spark rose inside me, I forgot I was still the moon goddess. I got closer into the bed resting my back on the headboard of the bed, I shifted him closer to my bosoms. He was receptive towards this bit and I really loved it.Lucinda smiled proudly at me, the same thing Eva would have done. "It seems you're in love with him!" She said as we mindlinked. I placed my right hand over his body, caressing his abs. He wore a gold T-shirt and black shorts, his muscles lined across strategic parts of his bo
I packed a few of my clothing which I'll need for my stay at the capital city, that's what the location of the famous palace of the wolf royalties is called. This location also hosts the wolf council, which is the shifter's court. After my meeting with Pandora concerning the court case, I would most likely meet the king too although he doesn't have any say especially now that Pandora has taken administration of the whole kingdom. He's something you might describe as a weakling husband who keeps quiet even when his wife does something wrong, he can't speak up as the king.Pandora is the head of the royal house, family and kingdom, in the actual sense, King Morris is just bearing a name. She's the one I have to meet in this case. Happy that Douglas has agreed to accompany me, I really need him."You have to pack your clothing…" I was cut short of my words, as he snapped."I don't have anything except this cloth I'm putting on." Pity overwhelmed me, I felt really bad for Douglas. This' n
The golden rays of the sun woke me up, and I sprang up immediately. It's late, I had desired to wake up at 5 AM and prepare. Before the sun showed up like this, it would be between 7 AM to 8 AM. I was as good as I thought, it's 8:05 AM. I gasped with my eyes wide open. I didn't realize that Douglas was watching me all this while. "Good morning my lady," the sweet voice caught me from my drama. I turned my head, there he was lying on the bed with his dreamy blue eyes watching me like I was a cinema movie. I smiled with a little shyness over me."Good morning prince," for the first time I was inclined to address him as this. He blushed in great excitement. "Do you care for a morning kiss?" He asked and I got more puzzled. Where is Douglas driving to, does he really mean all this nice attitude or he's just pretending to get what he wants? Despite the fact that I had the capability to distinguish when one is lying and when the truth is said, the emotions from this new character of his m
"Don't be scared of my reaction, say what you want to say." These statement made me bold to confront my fears and speak up. I stared deeper into Douglas' eyes for confirmation, his deep blue eyes which are thick with interest at this point. I wonder what came over him in the day and what has come over him tonight to make him change his mind and treat me so kind."You know I have a mission to fulfill in the world, first I need to get you out of prison absolutely and second I wish to re-organise everything that has gone wrong in our world. Being the luna queen would give me the best opportunity to effect the wish of the moon goddess." I threw a quick glance at his face to watch his reaction."The luna queen to me is not something to be chosen but centered on a fated mate but we are not fated mates, how's that gonna work?" He asked calmly. I tried figuring out the best answer to give him at the moment, an answer which would wipe off his doubt and make him accept my request."I am talking
I returned at about 11 PM late into the night, Douglas was in bed but quite worried to sleep. I could see by his face that he was anxious. "Why did you stay out so long?" Normally I would be angered at this question of his, feeling that he had no right to ask me that but I've learnt to quietly avoid unnecessary squabbles."I told you earlier, I was out with friends." I replied in a gentle tone, I was polite but this doesn't mean if he says or does anything foolish I wouldn't react. I just want to focus on the important things that lay before me. If I enter into a conflict with him now, the conversation which I scheduled with him tonight might possibly not hold. In life, you need to learn to act wisely and that's how I've determined to be."Well, welcome!" I'm amazed at his kind attitude, he has been rude and ungrateful during the day. Hope this' not just temporary, I just wish he sticks to this my mission would be very easy. All I want from him is him by my side. If he doesn't I would
It was 6:17 PM when we arrived at the park. We chose Cresthills Park and Game Reserve as our destination. It was a favorite in the northern part of Vienna where we resided. The park was located in the hill town of Reshford, the land where it was situated was massive like a whole city itself. The atmosphere here is chilly and the wind is refreshing.I stopped my car at the garage in the pack, got out with my friends to go sign in at the registration center. It's compulsory to document each individual that visits the park, the time of visit and places to visit in the site. It was optional if you needed a tour guide, first timers ought to have this as they weren't familiar with the environment but I don't need one. Not really like I intended visiting here, I just need a quiet and secluded place to discuss my plans since Douglas is too eager to let us have our conversation in peace. I feel that I need to take a quiet break from my usual life and chill out with my ladies. From tomorrow, I'
It is cool and calm this evening, the type of atmosphere I really love. Douglas is by this time in our room, the room he woke up in which is my bedroom, he had later tried to make me speak out what we discussed at the library. He was so eager to know but I wouldn't tell him neither any of my ladies-in-waiting. He still persisted in me calling him his majesty or Prince Douglas to which I firmly opposed. I felt bad at this, the first opposition I encountered was from the person I came to save. I feel so bad at this even till now.The book in my hand is a constant encouragement to me. The major character in the book is an eighteen year old girl who has no one to call her own, her mother died at a tender age. She was raised by her father, when she was eight, her father remarried and the stepmother came into their family with her three children. She was treated as a stranger in her own house, her step brothers and sister treated her like trash, an object of humiliation in the house where s
"Eva, you must have known much about your former mistress, the wolf queen, Cassandra?" She nodded 'a yes.' "And what she came to the world to enforce?" Another 'yes' came. "Good! That's the same mission I'm here to enforce but we need to be more tactical and efficient to avoid ending the way she ended or even worse.""There's great sense in what you say, Emily." Zoey snapped."My dream, which is my mission, is to partner with the prince so I can better work out my aim of driving Pandora out of the throne. Before I go into this, I need to start with the imprisonment issue. Douglas has been in prison custody for several years now without anything said or done about his case. I'll use this basically and other crimes committed by Pandora to portray her in the black light. Any suggestions?""Yes, I have my lady!" Eva said."Remember Emily," I joked. She smiled and nodded. "What's your suggestion Eva?""I guess we should compile a list of the most tedious crimes she has committed with Dougl
Emily POVI decided to leave Douglas alone after several instances of trying to make him accept my request of a contract marriage. I really wonder how I'd get to achieve my mission if I don't have any meaningful relationship with him. The law wouldn't permit me to do certain things that concern him if I'm neither his relative nor legal spouse. I'll continue my persuasion later. I go down to meet my two ladies-in-waiting, Eva and Zoey. I really need to go and see the luna queen today or tomorrow ahead of the court case in two days time. I have to talk with her and secure a legal release for Douglas, otherwise it would be assumed that he was stolen away, if this happens, he might be re-arrested and convicted. "Hello Zoey, where's Eva?""She's down." Zoey pointed down, I walked past her by the staircase to go meet Eva. I changed my mind."Go call her for me. Tell her to meet me in the Conference Room." It's a room I created in my residence for issues like this when I came two days ago.
Douglas POVEmily walked off to the drink dispenser at the far end of the massive room. She took out a glass from below and obtained a yellowish drink from the dispenser, which I guess to be an orange juice or pineapple juice. She walked majestically towards me and offered the drink to me. At first, I wanted to decline. I wasn't raised to take food and drinks from strangers. "Take," she persisted. "You've been under my care for two days now, you think if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't do that?" "Well, thanks." I stretched my right hand and got the drink from her and gulped it down at once. It was an orange juice, sweet and refreshing to my body and mind. I exhaled heavily, now I had life. "Thank you," I said once again. Emily took the glass from me and went to the dispenser, she carefully placed the glass under the dispenser at the part for used glasses. I think that will be washed later.She walked back to me and sat on the bed. "I have a great problem and I need your help in thi
