Myra POV.
"I can't believe how much I love you," he says looking me in the eyes, he sounded honest, he couldn't lie, I know that he won't lie to me even if he could, but I'll lie to him, I lie every time I need to, I'm not bounded to say the truth like he did.
"I love you too," I say with a smile on my face, I wasn't lying, it was the truth, I do really love him, and not just for all the powers I see he has, I love him for being him, my prince charming."I'm going to bring you with me," he says, he promises me again, we've been together for over ten years, we're two lovers, we're two souls that found each other, I believed that there's no real love, that until I met him, he's my real thing.
Long blond hair that fell down to his shoulder as soft as silk, green eyes that also had some hazel in them, and even his face was perfect with long eyelashes, defined cupids arrow with pale pink lips, he's taller than me, he keeps looking down at me, making me feel so delicate and small."Caspian, you know better," I say with a sigh, it wasn't a lit again, for some reason I don't lie around him, even when I could lie, I don't lie to him, we're both very honest to each other.
"I know, but why not, I'm their prince, they need to respect my decision," Caspian says and I groaned.Caspian is the prince of the fey, he belongs to their kingdom, to their realm, he's dressed like a prince, wearing his armour, standing tall and proud, he has a sword on his side, he looks out of the fairytales, the perfect soldier, a general, a prince, and he's all mine.
"If they don't respect your decision if they try to hurt you? Or me?" I ask him, it's not just me, I have a son I need to think of and take care of. "We have honour, Myra! No one would dare to hurt you, they'd try to fight me and I'll kick their butts for it," he says with a chuckle, he's one of the strongest fey I have ever met, not that I have met a lot of them."I believe you Caspian," I assured him, I did believe him, we've spent way too long together not to have built some kind of trust.
"I know you do, although you may say lies, you are honest to me," he says talking like a fey all over again, he has two kinds of talking, this one the fey talk, and the one he does when he's just around me, he loves the human talk and he likes talking like them, but talking like that around the fey would make fun of him or call him a hypocrite."I'm a great liar, Caspian, I lie the whole day," I say with a big smile on my face, which was a lie on its own.
"I know, how's the little one?" he asks, asking me about Oliver my son, he's home with his werewolf babysitter, she sees him as her pup, and she'd burn the whole world to keep him safe, even if it includes biting my ass for scolding my son."He's fine, he has Luna wrapped around his little finger," I say with a chuckle.
"Tell him next time I'm around, we'll spare together," he says with a smile, he's teaching my son how to use a sword, it's very costumery for fey, but since we're witches we use our magic to keep ourselves safe, but I wasn't going to stand in the way of the two bonding. Oliver's father died and he never had the chance to meet him, instead, all he got is Caspian as his father figure, Olli is now twelve years old, but he's still a child in our world, and he needs a lot of protection and care still."You're leaving?" I ask him, he can't stay in my lands for long, he got permission to be in the witch's land since I'm the one in charge of our coven, but other witches are worried and scared of his presence, most try to avoid him, to chase him off or maybe get him to fight them.
"You know I have to," he says making me pout, I might be an old witch, one with her own kid, but every time I see him, I'm acting like a young witch who's falling in love for the first time all over again.Did it even count as love that I had with Olli's father, he was my first crush and my first love, but was that even love? I don't know, he knocked me up and ditched us, and I was left alone with Olli, it's not that I was young, but I was busy becoming powerful and strong before I even thought about having kids, or falling in love with anyone.
"When will I see you again?" I ask him like a lost little girl who's losing her love. "I'll be back when I can, my lady," he says kissing my hand, he always does that, kiss the top of my hand, making my heart melt."Bye," I say looking at him leave, sometimes he'll leave for a small period of time, maybe just a day or two, but others he'll leave me and Olli for weeks and months, every time I feel like it's going to be the last time, this time he's gone forever, this time he's not coming back, this time he picked his people over us.
I went back home to meet with my son, Luna a wolf that I helped during one of her bad times, she was stranded during a full moon and crossed to the vampire's land, and as a thank you for saving her life, she babysit for me."Luna you can leave," I say walking inside my home with a sigh, I didn't like it when he leaves, the day he goes makes my heart feel empty and hollow on the inside.
"Leave, Madame you don't look well, how about I stay and make you dinner?" she offers, I wasn't hungry but Olli had to eat. "That would be great Luna, make sure he eats and takes a shower," I say and walk toward my room, I lock myself in, I want to cry so badly, but Madame Witch can't cry, Madame Myra can't cry, crying isn't meant for me, I'm too strong to be crying.I sat in bed and looked up at the ceiling, this time, I felt different than before, this time I had a feeling he was not coming back to me, maybe this time was the one that he really leaves me and never comes back to me, his people are getting him this time.
My night was terrible, as they are when he's not around, but my morning was even worse, I woke up feeling sick, and there was a very awful smell in my nose.I ran toward the bathroom and threw up everything that was in my stomach, sadness has never affected my stomach before, but I never had the feeling that he'll be gone forever like today.
I washed my mouth, wahsed my face and looked at me in the mirror, I looked like shit, I looked like I have lost him.Angry at myself, I use a little bit of magic to put a full face of make up, it was enough to take off the paleness of my face but not even magic can hide the sadness in my eyes, I looked miserable with a good face of make up.
"Good morning, Mother," Oliver says when he sees me coming in, he's young but would speak as an adult, the results of being raised only by adults and having no kids to play along with."Good morning Kiddo," I say reminding him that he's still a child.
"Did you sleep well?" I ask him, if I was a normal witch Olli would still be counted as a small child who needs his mother's full attention, but this is Oliver, and he's his mother son, we never ask for extra love nor attention."I did, and have you mother? You don't look well," he says and I groaned I can't even foul my own son how else would anyone believe that I'm fine.
"I'm fine Oliver," I say in a firm voice and rummage through the kitchen to make him breakfast, I don't like using magic while taking care of him, he deserves to have a real mother in here with him.I cracked the eggs and they felt weird, when they hit the pan they smelled bad to me, really bad, unable to hold myself back, I vomited in the sink. I washed quickly and told Olli we're going to need to get new eggs from the store these must have gotten old.
"I can fix myself a bowl of cereal," Oliver offers.
"Please," I answer him letting him make his own breakfast, I tried to drink my regular coffee but it tasted burned, I tried to have some orange juice but it tasted bitter. Either someone has spelt my kitchen into having uneatable food or something was wrong with me.I scanned the air for any kind of spells but found none, the chance of having rotten food was also low, which only left one choice for me. I ran to my bathroom and looked through my drawers for a thing I had bought from the human shops, last time I needed one was when we had a threesome with a wolf.
I took the test out of its package and quickly read the instructions, I had to sit and wait for three whole minutes before the results were there, I could use my magic to make it faster but I worried it would mess with the results. When the time finally passed, I was too worried about looking, but I had to look, to be sure this wasn't what I had in mind, but having another kid doesn't sound too bad, especially if Caspian was that kid's father.
'On the count of three Myra, you can do it,' I encourage myself and look, two strips, it's real, it's done, I am pregnant, should I be happy or worried, I was thinking about it, but then decided, this baby was the best thing that ever happened to me after Olli, when Caspian comes by, he'll be thrilled to know it.
The thing with dating the Prince of Fey is that he's a gentleman who can't lie to me, so if you're lousy in bed, good luck with your ego, he's beautiful, kind and the dream of any girl. Caspian is the best kind of father figure you'd ever meet, he's the one who taught Olli how to be a gentleman, if this baby is a boy then I'll have two princes on hand, and if she's a princess, then god helps anyone who dares get near her.
He usually takes some time to get back to me, to us, sometimes it's just a week or two, others it's longer like a month or two, but Caspian has never in the last ten years left me for nine whole months, there's no way he knew about the pregnancy, only Olli and Luna knew about it, and they are both loyal to me, and I never told anyone else about the pregnancy and no one saw me out."I worry Luna," I say, she's the only friend I trust, even my closest friends I couldn't tell about my pregnancy, I worried the word would be out, that Madame Witch is now weak, that it's time to try and attack her, but they didn't know that even if I'm pregnant, I can still beat them up.
"About what Madame?" Luna asks me, looking at my stomach with a look filled with love and worry, she adores this child, and it's not even been born yet. "About Caspian, that he might have left us," I say wiping my tears, stupid pregnancy making me too emotional, I'm almost there, once I give birth, I'm going to search for him and tell him he has a daughter now, I'm going to call her 'Charlotte'.Charlotte POV. "Charlotte, little girl, you're not a monkey, come down," Luna yells from below me, but I ignored her and kept on climbing, I loved nature, I loved the trees, and I felt at home right in here. "A monkey!" I yell back at Luna how dare she call me monkey, she's a bitch, a female dog, she's a she-wolf, and my babysitter. Both mine and Olli, but Oliver acts like such a stuck-up bitch that doesn't need a sitter, he acts as if he's a million years old instead of being in his twenties, I don't know what climbed up his ass, but it sure as hell didn't come back down. "Yes, monkey, you're the one climbing up the tree, not me," she yells again. "Right, you're the one barking at it," I say in a low voice hoping she won't hear me, but she did, Luna was a great babysitter, she loves kids, but once you pass the ten years old mark, she turns into the worst bitch you've ever met, and I'm dead. "Come here, you little rude puppy," she says and climbs after me, I love Luna to death, t
Charlotte POV. So my father is fey, I found that out years ago, but I don't know who he is yet, every time I ask my mother about him, about more information, how much fey there is inside of me? What does it mean? She'll get sad, she'll get miserable and I'll feel bad for her and end up shutting up, worried about hurting my mother, she doesn't deserve that. I decided to gather information on my own, to try and learn more about feys, about that side of my family and finally, one day she'll tell me who he is, maybe I'll get the chance to meet him and know why he left us, why he has hurt my mom so badly. I learned about feys, they don't lie, but I do lie, I lied to Olli this morning, and to mom last night, and I'm sure that I have lied to Luna a million times before, she's still part of my family, I don't need a nanny anymore, but mom says she needs the job and she loves to spend time with me and I love spending time with her as well. There are two kinds of them, the light and the dar
Charlotte POV. "Salyut," Luna yells in Russian, raising her glass with half of the club, no one wants to go home, everyone is in here, and everyone is still heavy on the drinking. "Salut! To never get old," I say and drown the drink, I have never seen Olli this loose before, or maybe it's the booze talking. He had taken off his jacket and loosened the button of the shirt, and I lost one of my shoes, but I didn't care, it made dancing more interesting, well trying to dance and move while holding on to Luna hoping that I wouldn't fell down on the ground. "He's sleeping with my best friend, let's drink to forget," a guy said, drowning his glass, I don't know which glass I'm on, but we passed the ten mark around an hour ago. "Hey! We're here to celebrate my birthday," I yell at him, how mean of him to talk about someone cheating while I'm here to celebrate my birthday. "Birthday girl, you know what we do when it's someone's birthday," a wolf girl that's not Luna says coming close to
Charlotte POV. I ran toward the wolf pack, I knew what Luna looked like in her wolf form, she was a blond wolf, small in size, and she looked like a golden retriever in size, so tiny, but she was also fast and smart, she's not the strongest wolf out there, but when she uses her brain she will beat them all up. I found the pack, they were all jumping, yelping, howling, barking, they are a bunch of hooligans, but I'm here for my Luna, my family, I looked between them, wolves come in all shapes and forms, but none of them was small and blond, none of them was my Luna. They saw me coming toward them and started to bark at me, perfect, now if they could show me where Luna is, I'd be happy to leave them in peace, the biggest wolf, the cockiest one, looked like a jerk, I knew right away that he's the alpha, the jerk in charge, I couldn't hide the disgusted face I made, I hate him. "I'm here to see Luna, and then I'll leave," I say standing in place, not moving, they are scary, and they s
Charlotte POV. I woke up in a bed, as soon as I opened my eyes I knew it wasn't my bed, it felt weird and off, and I knew it wasn't mine, I looked around to see where I was, it was a bedroom with nothing to show to whom it belongs, it got nothing itemized, it felt like a bland guest room. I tried to remember the last thing that happened before I went to sleep, I remembered Luna and the fact that she died, tears started to fall down my face, but I wiped them away quickly, I remembered what happened afterwards as well. I killed the whole pack, and then Tristan came and said I didn't have permission to do what I did, and then nothing, that's how I ended up here, he must have brought me here. "Tristan," I yelled out loud, I didn't care about being careful, I wanted to know where I was, I needed to get back home. "You're awake," a new voice says, a woman comes and walks toward me, she has what looks like a maid outfit on, she looks at me, sees me awake and then walks out of the room l
Charlotte POV. "Let's go princess, quickly," Tristan says coming toward me, he takes hold of my hand and walks me out of the room before I can object or even get the chance to talk. "Tristan, what's going on?" I finally managed to say as we ran through the doors of the kingdom, maids bowed to us, and other guards looked at us with confusion, but we kept moving, until we got to a more private area, a place that didn't have the same feeling of being in the middle of a bee hive. "We're going somewhere safe, the queen has it out for you, we need to hide you," he says. "Let her come, Tristan, I'd love to have a bit of that bitch," I say stopping and looking at him with confidence, I'm the daughter of Madame Witch, I'm not one to be messed with. "Charlotte, you're young, you're powerful, but she's old, and she's filled with tricks, you can't stand up for her, she doesn't play fair and she's not scared of hitting you when you're not looking," he says. "Lovely, she sounds like a doll,"
Charlotte POV. "I don't have any clothes," I complained, I couldn't shower without my clothes, I then decided to add the suggestion of me getting home showering, and coming back. "I can't let you leave this realm, you'll be ruled out to be a traitor and they will kill you," he says making me groan. "You said you had the pictures from Luna's place, they all should know now that I killed them for a reason, I can't be a traitor," I groaned. "I do, but they need to see you, they need to say it out loud, she's innocent, now let's celebrate her," he said with a shake of his head. "What kind of law is that?" I ask him with a raised brow. "The law of the court, we do as they say, I know you don't agree with all of it, but we need to play according to their rules at least for a while," Tristan says. "I'm not going to stay here," I say, telling him, father or not, having half of my blood belonging to this place doesn't mean that I'm going to stay around here. "I know you won't, I'd advi
Charlotte POV. "Let's go princess," Tristan says taking me away from the ball, and from everyone else, he runs through the doors again, I don't understand why we keep on running, what's with him and making me run away, who was I even running away from?"Who are we running from?" I give in and ask him, I have the right to know who I'm running from."The queen, she's busy but won't be busy for too long, she's your biggest enemy in here and it's better to get you away before she could follow," he says, instead of going inside the rooms like we did yesterday, this time he dragged me out of the castle. Koko was waiting out there with a couple of bags in her arms, she looked worried and was looking around to make sure no one else could see us in here, standing in the middle of the night, out and away from the party. "Good job, Kaycee, this will be over soon, promise," Tristan assures her, taking the bags from her hands and starting to run again with the two of us running after him. He w
Charlotte POV. "Mom, my magic," I cried out to her, it's been four days and my magic was still gone, locked inside of me, refusing to come out, we have tried more than one spell, but all of them have left me hurt, injured, one of them almost killed me. "I know Charlotte, I'm trying," Mom says her eyes locked on her book, reading about magic being bounded, but I guessed the books didn't have the solution to my dilemma. "Mom, maybe she should be going to the fey realm," Olli suggests. "No, I'm not sending my daughter without the ability to defend herself," Mom says. "Mom, if I go there, I can talk to Tristan, or Uncle can help me, someone can help me," I said. "No, the queen still got it out for you," Mom objects. "Mom the queen is on trial, she can't touch me, and helping me would be on her side and not mine," I say to mom. "You can not go there Charlotte, don't even think about it," Mom objects again. "Mom, it's my magic we're talking about, we can't just do nothing, stay her
Cassius POV. I have passed from my realm, the one I'm used to, the one where I have some power, toward the fey realm, the only ones who have power over there are the fey and I had no power there, I have no connection, and I had no claims. I passed through a secret door, I didn't travel like the rest of the fey, the second they find me, or discover I have passed their border they will kill me or worse, it's said that death is mercy in the fey land.I didn't have anyone along with me, and I didn't want to ask anyone to put themselves in the way of danger the same way as me, people were loyal to me, but only I was loyal to Charlotte and had the urge to go save her, the rest didn't really care about the girl I'm dating. The fey land was similar to ours, it's made of trees and forest, the only difference is that the trees in the fey land would try to kill you, the birds would report back to their lords, and the ground would swallow and never let you go.I had no idea where to go, I didn
Cassius POV. I messaged I called, I was going insane, I had no idea where she was or why she stopped answering me, my princess, although I had no idea what kind of princess she was, and she said something about her mama dying, but she's the daughter of Myra, maybe she has another mother? I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to know what she was hiding from me, I thought we were moving forward in our relationship, and I thought we were going places, but I was left standing in front of a fey door, humiliated and told that my girlfriend has no boyfriend. So I called her again, but her phone went from missed calls and not answering me, to being out of service, I don't get what happened, we were okay last night, she was mad at her family, and then we had drinks, I didn't touch or hurt her, I made sure not to do anything that might offend her, drunk or not, no one wants to be offended by their said boyfriend. "Sir, you have visitors," Eve informs me. "And who might that be?" I ask her wit
Charlotte POV. "Your ribs are broken, your shoulder is dislocated, you are very dehydrated, and we're worried about a concussion," the doctor tells both me and my brother, the great news, but no news about my magic or what's going on with it. "What about my magic?" I groaned. "Excuse me?" the doctor says, he's just a human doctor, he won't be helping with my magic even if he tried to. "She meant her charm, will she be okay?" Oliver asks, trying to hide my question about my magic. "The ribs need a lot of rest, she'll feel fine soon, we have fixed her shoulder which too needs some rest, and for the dehydration, the IV has taken care of it," the doctor says trying to assure us that I'll be okay, but none of those mattered for me, what about my magic, my bones can heal they won't even take long to get better but my magic, I can't survive without it. "What about the concussion?" Olli asks him, I didn't feel like I had one, I don't even remember hitting my head, when did that happen?
Charlotte POV. "Girls," Oliver says opening the cab door, we have made it out alive, they have slowed down when we were near leaving their territory and land. "Olli," we both yelled running toward him, and hugging him tight, we were both terrified. "You shouldn't have sent her alone, she's just a child," I scold him, the bird was very young, even for a shifter, she's a baby. "I couldn't go in, this is a rescue mission, she did good," Oliver says holding her tight. "Yeah, if you say so," I say with a shrug, why was I so worried about them, they could deal with each other, I decided to get in Olli's car and wait for him to drive us home. "You're too far away from home," Olli says. "How far I am?" I ask him, finally laying back, my ribs were on fire. "You're on the Canadian border," he says and I look at him with wide eyes, we're so far away. "Wow," I say, and that was my only comment about the whole topic. "Are you okay Charlotte?" Owl asks from behind me, she must have notice
Charlotte POV. "Come on Mom, call, call," I whisper to myself, I'm eating my food, trying to gain my strength back while I have my eyes locked on the phone, when will she call?"We can go to my place, if the phone rings, we'll hear it," she says but I shook my head no, I wasn't going to risk it, what if she called and I didn't hear it?"We can stay here for a bit more," I say sipping my coffee, her mother was giving me side glares and side looks, and I pretended not to see them. "We need to leave, we need to leave, come on," Honey says all of a sudden standing up, standing in front of me hiding me with her small body. "Huh?" I say confused, who did walk in, why is she trying to hide me from them?"What are you doing here runt?" I heard a guy say, talking with Honey, towering over her. "I'm here to eat, mom said I can come to eat," Honey says, standing up to herself, trying to keep me hidden and I made sure to keep myself hidden, she's not that tall or large to help me hide, but I
Charlotte POV. "Princess, wake up, you need to wake up," she said and I groaned, I don't know where I have blacked out but I did, and now she's pulling me again, she's a short girl, and she has some strength in her but not enough to drag me along with her or carry me through, she was trying her best to pull me with not much progress. "I'm awake," I say, my head felt very heavy, and breathing was extremely difficult, but I did my best to keep going with her. She had a motorcycle hidden away in the trees, does she expect me to be able to ride it? I had a hard time breathing, let alone riding a motorcycle, she pushed me ahead, helping me sit sideways, she got in front of me, making my whole body lean against her back, and one of my arms pulled around her torso to keep me in place as she started the bike and rode away with the two of us. My main thought was don't fall over, if you fall your face will be broken in half, I loved my face, and I didn't want to end up with a broken skull or
Charlotte POV. The fucking queen had me falling asleep, I woke up again, and this time I had something around my arms and feet, I was bounded and thrown somewhere dark, and when I opened my eyes I saw nothing, there was darkness all around me, only god knows where the queen is taking me or how she's sending me away. I waited for the light to come back on, I tried to use my magic, but even my magic wasn't doing anything to the bonding they had around me, maybe it was spelt as well, maybe that's why I can't get it off. I waited and waited some more until finally, the light was turned on, and I saw where I was, I was in a small cage, a silver cage, I tried to push and move but the bond and the cage weren't giving up. "Look who we got here," a voice says coming toward me, I looked up from my position on the ground and saw a really tall guy walking toward me. "Who are you?" I asked him, I had no idea who he was or what I had done to him to have me thrown in a cage. "I'm your worst ni
Charlotte POV. Fighting with Mom wasn't enough, it had to get worse, everyone wanted to know who's the guy I was dating, and why am I dating him. They needed to know more information about my boyfriend while I didn't want to tell anyone about him, he's not even my boyfriend. "Things are different for you Charlotte," mom says but that only pissed me off, why are they different? "They aren't mother, I'm the same as any girl my age," I said back but she kept saying I didn't understand. "You won't tell me who my father was, you won't tell me about my father's past, and now you're saying I'm different, how?" I repeat my question. "I can't explain this to you, not now," she said and I had enough, I stormed out of the house, she never tells me the truth, she never talks the truth, the full honesty, it's always a lie or a secret with her, she never tells me the honest truth, never. I went to my car and drove toward Tristan's place, he's my best second choice, he's part of my family as w
