Estelle POVThe ball is finally over. After Ophelia pulled that stunt, you could tell everyone was shocked and wary, but we handled it well, and after a few minutes, everyone forgot about it and went back to having fun, but I was still shaken over how I could have actually watched Aurelian die. Are these people really after my turning into a monster? Why would they do that?.“We need to act fast. If they call the shots, they might destroy us,” Auntie said. “We don’t know their hideout; they know ours, so we can’t really do anything,” I said. We were in the living room, making sure our guests were in their quarters, and we were also heavily guarded. The maids are cleaning up, and we are in the living room thinking of a way we should save our kingdom. “We can track them with the help of a witch,” Auntie said. Maven breathes out. She was also quite shaken by what almost happened to Aurelian.“But why would she try to murder him in front of everyone?” she asked.“She wasn’t going to mur
Estelle POV“She is right in front of you,” my aunt said, and we all turned to her with our mouths wide open. The room was silent, and the tension was high. None of us could find our tongues. Is this why she is so connected to the moon goddess? Know everything happening? There was no way I could have guessed.“What?” Angelica stutters after finding her tongue. Aunt smiled calmly.“This is not how I want everyone to find out, but you all would have known one day,” she said, breathing out. She looked at Angelica and gave her a really long look.“Well, she is in front of you, say what you want to say. Who knows? I might just get you married to him,” she said, and I looked at Angelica as she took a very deep breath, putting on a shaky smile.“Well, you created that rule, so it’s only fair I get married to him,” she said. Aunt hummed.“Why should I get you married to him?” she asked.“Because he is my betrothed,” she said, like she was stating the obvious.“I see. Well, where were you all
Estelle POV“I’m pregnant,” I said, his hand on my stomach. His eyes wide opened as he looked at me, trying to process what I just said. Minutes passed, and Aurelian was silent, no words coming from his mouth.“Aurelian,” I called, shaking him a bit. He moved back from me, running his hand through his head as he walked all around the room.“Aurelian,” I called again, as I couldn’t make anything of his reaction. Is he happy? Sad? Angry? What is going through his head? “You’re pregnant?” he asked, staring at me. I nod my head nervously, and he breathes out heavily, swallowing his spit. I come down from the bed and walk to him.“What is wrong with Aurelian?” I asked, my hands on his cheeks, but he held my wrist, breathing out.“This is not the time to be pregnant, Estelle. I have lost pups twice. We are in the middle of a war. How am I going to protect you and our pup from danger?” He asked, and I could finally see and feel his emotions. He was weak and scared; I could feel his fear. In
Estelle POV“I believe the Lycan king has accepted to go on the journey with us,” she asked.“Yes, I have,” he replied. She nods her head.“Okay, that’s good,” she said, getting comfortable.“You are right. There are spies in the palace working for your brother, although I can’t identify them because sometimes what we see is limited. They inform your brother of every move you both make, and right now, your brother wants her dead, pregnancy or no pregnancy,” she said, and I was not a bit surprised. He tried to do it once and killed me and my pup so he could do it again.“The child is going to be a hindrance, and if she loses this child, bad things will happen, so we can’t allow it,” she said.“Why are you helping us?” Aurelian asked. She smiled.“We can let go of our differences. Ophelia is running loose, and she has broken our law by touching dark magic, so we must get rid of her before she causes much harm. And finally, you wolves and Lycans play a big role in the supernatural world;
Estelle POVMe, Aurelian, Aunt Clara, and Rodney walked down the hallway to see the King and Queen of Which kingdom off, but in all reality, Aurelian and I walked behind them with our rode on while the clones walked with Aunt Clara and Rodney.“They really can’t see, hear, or feel us,” I said, holding his hand. “Yes, the power of a witch,” Aurelian replied, smiling down at me. I smiled, putting a bit of my weight on him. We got to the front of the palace, where the royal carriages were waiting for us.“Why are there two carriages?” I asked, confused. We are supposed to ride with the king and queen, but now there are two carriages.“It’s okay; the king and queen arranged it with their trusted people; nobody can see them except us and them,” he said. I nodded my head, watching the clones say their goodbyes to the king and queen. Aurelian took my hand, leading me to the carriage, and we took our seats. I looked out the window, watching them. When they were done, the king and queen enter
Estelle POV“This is going to be your quarters,” the queen said, standing in front of a closed door. I smiled politely.“Thank you, Queen Aurora,” Aurelian said, bowing his head a bit in respect, and she did the same.“The journey was a long one; it’s best we all take a good rest and start with the spell. I asked the maids to prepare what we are going to need already so the king and queen of the werewolf kingdom can quickly be on their way as there is a pending war approaching,” she said politely. I nod my head because I would really appreciate that. I don’t even want to stay long here. After what Aurelian said, my will to stay here has reduced, and I no longer feel safe. The feeling is back. I can’t tell what it is, but I feel worried. I took a deep breath, rubbing my stomach softly.“Thank you once again for your help, Queen Aurora. We will really appreciate it,” Aurelian said, while I just stood beside him, feeling weak in the knees. Queen Aurora smiled.“I will take my leave now i
Estelle POVThe breeze blew my hair roughly as I stood in a field. It looked like the one in the afterlife, but the difference was that this field felt more real; it didn’t feel dead; it felt like there were human beings here. “Where am I?” I asked myself, trying to tame my wild hair. I can’t even remember when last I let my hair down and free; my hair these days has been decorated with pins and rubber. But now my hair is down and wild, I wore a white silky gown. The material was thin, allowing the cold air to enter my skin. I shuddered, rubbing my hands together. Where am I? Where is this place? What am I doing here? I asked myself as I turned around in the empty field. There were people here; I could feel them, but I couldn’t see them. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Everything was in a tranquil as I tuned down the sound of the heavy breeze. I listened to the little sounds and the heartbeats of people around me. Their footsteps as they moved. “There are people here,” I m
Estelle POVAurelian and I walked down the hallway, following the guards. It was the next day, and we had had enough rest, so the king and queen had invited us for breakfast. After the breakfast, I hope we do what we came here for. I am in a hurry to leave the witch kingdom. The dreams have been reoccurring anytime I close my eyes to sleep, even if it’s a quick nap, and the worst part is that I can’t help but want to sleep. I still don’t get why I am having all these dreams, showing me different scenes of Kion just being a good brother to Aurelian, and now they are even grown up. I took a deep breath to gather my thoughts as we approached the king and queen seated at the table. “Good morning, king and queen of the werewolf kingdom,” Queen Aurora greeted us as we took our seats, bowing her head a little. “Good morning, king Titus and queen Aurora; thank you for having us today,” Aurelian said, also bowing his head a bit. Well, in the witch kingdom, women have more rights and authorit
