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
Estelle POVAurelian speeds towards me, standing in front of me as he draws his sword. The queen was sitting calmly.“How dare you deceive us?” He asked slowly. Aurelian is much older than the queen and more powerful than her; they could match a bit in using their powers, but the queen won’t surrender just easily, and if we are in their territory, we would be at the losing end. I pat Aurelian back calmly.“Bring down your sword, Aurelian,” I said into the mate’s mind link.“No! She tried to harm you!” he growled. It was mostly his wolf talking.“Aurora calm his wolf while I calm him down,” I said, and I felt her moving around.“Aurelian, please drop your sword; let’s listen to what she has to say,” I said, patting his back. “No, she deceived us here; she is not to be trusted,” he said. “Please, Aurelian, put down your sword; we are not in our territory; if anything happens, we will be at the losing end; don’t put me and the pup at stake,” I said, rubbing my wrist in his nose so he c
Estelle POV“You called for me, mother,” Damien said, standing in front of the king and queen. His eyes were dull; there was no sign of life in them; all the light in his life was lost. I don’t know how long I have been here, but it has been endless torture for him.“You have chosen to remain stubborn about our rules,” the queen said. Damien looked at them, emotionless. He didn’t care. Despite the pain and torture they have put him through, nothing can damage him anymore. He is already damaged, and they know it. “Were there any rules, mother and father?” he asked, looking them in the eye. Damien has changed a lot in the years; he is now a hundred years old, and his little brother Aurelian is now a big boy, brought up by his brother. Damien never left his brother for once. If they lock him up in the dungeon, when he gets back, he will dress well and buy his brother gifts. Lying to him, he went on a quick trip. When they battered his body to the point were he couldn’t move, he avoided
Estelle POV“Idea? Tell me,” Adolf said, completely interested. Shadow is smart and evil, just like his master.“Why don’t we taint his name? Make the elders think otherwise,” he said. Adolf looked at him, wondering what he meant.“How are we going to do that?” he asked. “Let’s stop covering up William’s activities,” he said. Adolf looked at him like he was crazy.“You want the world to know he goes to a brothel every night to sleep with numerous women and get drunk? We both know how many women we have killed who have threatened to expose William’s injustice towards them—how many pregnant women we killed,” he said. I shook my head; both father and son are rotten to the core.“No, my lord, hear me out,” he said.“Go on,” he said.“I can pull some tricks; I will make Damien take the blame for it. All William has to do is keep doing what he was doing while I pin it on his head; this way, the elders will despise him and also Aurelian. Then slowly we can finish him off,” he said, an evil
Estelle POV“Be careful how you talk to me, boy. I killed my brother and his wife; I can kill you too and get away with it, so keep your mouth shut,” Adolf threatened, standing close to William. Then he walked away from him. Adolf would have never imagined what happened next, as William had suddenly stabbed him in the back with his dagger. I watched as William twisted the knife, plunging it deep into his back. I waited for Shadow to come out to defend his master, but Shadow wasn’t here. Adolf fell to the floor, but William didn’t stop there; he continued stabbing him with rage clear in his eyes.“All I wanted was to be the king, but you took that from me!” he yelled, stabbing the already half-dead Adolf. After stabbing him countless times, he stopped and started laughing hysterically. “Now you will die and watch me be the king from hell,” he hissed out at Adolf with wide, horror-filled eyes.“Father!” a voice yelled in shock. I turned back, and it was Damien.“What have you done?” he
