GideonMy heart shattered into pieces as I looked at the car she went in vanishing further into the tree line. Maybe I should have told her what I knew about her bloodline but then I wasn't sure at first that she was Selene's daughter.I let out a loud thunderous howl before I leaned on the pillar.“ Your highness,” Ben said as he came forward.“ John has reached there and will be in hiding till he gets any order from you,” he informed. I didn't have the energy to respond to him any more. I was tired as I felt a hollow inside my chest.“ How long will it take to reach the moonlight kingdom?” I asked, in a low voice.“ Six to eight hours, if nothing happens,” Daro answered.“ Have you informed Aaron?” I asked, lifting my head when I heard a rustling sound from the tree line. It was faint. But My Lycan senses are sharp enough to hear any sound from miles away.“ Be on guard!!! I ordered and stood still to face whoever was approaching.“ What have you done?” Andrew’s voice boomed.“ What
Ava All the way to the moonlight kingdom I kept looking out of the window as my mind was blank completely. Maybe it was the last goodbye, I couldn't help but think. Ivan and Mikael didn't try to make any conversation with me throughout the journey but I could feel that they were talking through a mind link. A few times I felt Mikael’s eyes on me which gave me an uncomfortable feeling but I didn't bother to look at him. The car stopped abruptly, pulling me out of my chain of thoughts. With a sigh, I turned my head to look at Mikeal who was getting out of the car. Furrowing my brows I looked outside only to be struck by the scenes. I was so invested in my thoughts that I didn't notice that when we arrived at the moonlight kingdom. Looking out of the window I was struck by the scene. The kingdom was illuminated and at night it looked like a fairy kingdom. “ Thank you so much for coming with us,” Mikael said. His voice made me look at him. “ We will take it from here as you cannot e
Gideon “ What now?” I heard Max asking Andrew. “ I don't know,” he answered. I didn't care for any of their conversation, right now. Leaning back against the couch as I kept staring at my phone. I was waiting for that one call desperately. It's been more than eight hours since they have been gone. The phone rang twice before I picked it up, putting it to my ear. I anxiously waited for the person on the other side to speak. “ your highness,” he said. “ Her highness has entered into the kingdom,” he added. “ What about you?” I asked. Max and Andrew had stopped talking as soon as I spoke and I could feel both of their eyes on me. “ We are outside of the enchantment, waiting,” he answered. What? Did he notice something? He should have come back as soon as she entered into the moonlight kingdom. “ Why? What happened?” “ Her highness… “ Did she tell you to wait?” I asked before he could even finish speaking. “ No. She didn't tell me directly. It was a hint. And I sensed she was a
Ava It took me nearly 10 minutes to find the bathroom and then I spent another few minutes to find the closet. “ Thank you, Jenna, for bringing my clothes here,” I said, walking to the walk-in closet, holding my towel tightly to my chest. I waited for her to say anything but she kept quiet. With a sigh I shook my head before I went in. I found my clothes neatly folded on the shelves. I found myself a long shirt and a pair of shorts. I wore them before I walked out. “ Jenna, would you mind bringing my dinner here?” I asked, sitting on the couch in front of the French window. I loved the view from the window. It is mesmerising to look at the Kingdom from up here. I only wondered what has happened here? Jenna brought the cart to the couch before she started serving me my dinner. I was starved and everything looked delicious. Then my gaze fell on her wrist where there was a red mark going on around her wrist with a deep cut. Narrowing my eyes, I held her hand, taking a good look at
Gideon“ Aaron,” I stood up from the couch before approaching him.“ Gideon,” he greeted me back, playing with the wooden box in his hand.“ How did you…… before I could finish my words he showed me his hand with blue smoke coming out of it. Of course he listened to us before he took the box from my Kingdom.“ Good to see you,” he said.“ Likewise.”“ Your highness,” Daro bowed his head slightly, greeting Aaron.“ It's Aaron to you,” he repeated his words again. Daro smiled at him before he hugged him. We grew up together. And Aaron used to stay with us whenever his father used to visit. We are best friends.“ It's good to see you in one piece,” Aaron said, before he turned his attention to the other people standing in the living room.“ Greetings to you all,” Aaron said.“ Just call me Aaron,” he added before Max could address him.“ Thank you so much for coming,” Max said, looking at him with a smile and hope.“ Andrew,” Aaron said, looking at Andrew.“ Aaron,” Andrew said, looking
Ava I woke up to the sun dancing on my eyelids. Groaning and yawning, I sat up straight on the bed. “ We have found it, Mia,” I said after a few moments. As I gazed out of the window I only thought of finding the secrets. “ Good morning, your highness,” Jenna's voice startled me out of nowhere. Clutching my heart, I turned my head to look at her. “ When did you come in?” I asked, staring at her with my palpitating heart. “ My apology, I didn't mean to scare you,” she said, bowing her head as he stood up from the chair and putting the book down on the table. “ I came back last night and you were already asleep. So, I didn't wake you up,” she explained. “ Oh,” I said, nodding my head. “ Were you awake all night?” I asked. “ No, I woke up at dawn,” she answered. “ We have 30 minutes until breakfast starts,” she said looking at the clock. “ Is it a rule?” I asked, raising my eyebrows. “ Well, kind of. And we have to be present there in time or else there will be no breakfast wh
Gideon “ Where should we start looking from?” Max asked. Aaron chuckled as he shook his head. “ The place we are going is far more dangerous than going into the middle of the battlefield,” Aaron said. “ where is it?” I asked. “ Far away from the fae Kingdom,” he said. “ The dark forest,” he said in his low voice, lifting his head up. “ Fuck,” daro breathed out. Closing my eyes I took a sharp intake of breath. The dark forest is not an ordinary forest. That forest has more mysterious and deadly creatures than the ocean. No one ever dared to go in that place. It is said that whoever went into that forest has never come out. And there is the only person I know who came out alive and in one piece and that is my grandfather. “ Maybe that is the reason why Selene had hidden that sword in that forest,” Zender said in my head. Maybe he is right, because she had that ability to predict the future. “ So we are going there,” Max said. “ Not we!!!” Aaron said. “ You still need to run
Ava I was looking out of the window the whole way to the market. The way I feel connected to the kingdom today was different. They stopped pulling me out of my thoughts. Now it was another task to confront everyone. “ We are here princess,” Mikael said, getting out of the car. Coming to my side he opens the door before offering me his hand. Placing my hand on his, I got out. I gave him a small smile before retreating my hand from his hold. “ There are other people in the car,” I heard Abigail muttering under her breath as she slammed the door closed. Abigail and Jenna both came by my side. “ It's been ages since I came here,” Abigail said, her voice laced with sorrow and excitement. He locked her arm with mine leaning her head against my shoulder. We all started walking behind Mikael as he was talking to his warrior. “ Why?” I asked. Curiosity hit the best of me when she mentioned my mother. If my mother treated her well that means she is nice and maybe I can trust her. “ What
GideonMy heart clenched when I heard Ava's scream. With great difficulty I lifted my head to look at her to see what was happening to her but couldn't see anything due to my hazy vision.That Bastard has used aconite to weaken us with wolfsbane.“ Zender, come out buddy,” I said in my head as I struggled in their hold to break free. It was a challenge for me to even move my fingers with aconite in my system.“ My love,” as soon as I heard Ava's voice in my head my head snapped up in her direction. How is it even possible that she is communicating with me, without her Lycan?“ Ava?”“ Yes, it's me. Thank you for coming,” she said. I could see tears brimming in her eyes as she continued looking at me with a half smile. I fucking hate myself right now for not being able to save her.“ It is not your fault baby,” she said as if she read my mind.“ I had to come,” I said.“ I know they had used aconite and I can help you remove that thing,” she added.“ How?” I asked, then I remembered sh
Ava“ No!!!” A gut wrenching scream left my mouth seeing Liam was being hit on his head.“ Don't even think about leaving here alive,” Ivan said glaring at Liam with a sinister smirk on his lips.Where is Kiara and the others, I wondered looking around frantically searching for my team. But they were nowhere to be seen.I saw two of his men holding Liam down while he was half unconscious. Tears started streaming down from my eyes as I shook my head. It is all my fault. I won't ever be able to forgive myself.“ Hmmm, interesting,” Mikael said as he turned around and walked towards Liam. Fear was creeping up in my heart as I watched Mikael's movement, one blow from him and liam will be dead.“ How did you manage to get in?” He asked, looking down at liam.“ Who are you? No ordinary person can get inside the barrier,” he added.“ It has weakened,” Liam answered.“ Do you want me to believe you?” He asked, chuckling at the stupidity of Liam's answer. Then it hit me and I closed my eyes to
Ava“ what are you doing here?” I asked, looking at him trying to mask my fear and nervousness but failed miserably. I could tell that he can hear my erratic heart from where he was standing.“ Well, I came out looking for our queen,” he said, with a hint of smirk playing on his lips. His words were laced with sarcasm and from his tone I could tell that he knew.“ I wanted some alone time,” I said, gauging his expression.“ Into the woods?”“ Well, you will have plenty of quality time after tonight, princess,” saying that he stepped forward, walking in my direction. I took a step back as I stumbled backwards.“ Mikale!!!” my voice was full of warning.“ Princess.”“ Come on, people are waiting for you,” he said, extending his hand for me to take. Looking at his hand I felt disgusted. I didn't know how many times I had placed my hand in his without knowing his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent lives and my parents.“ What are you thinking, princess?” He asked, his
Gideon“ STOP!!!” Bella's words echoed in the forest.“ No, he is going to kill my mate and I won't let that happen,” I said, looking into her eyes.“ He won't hurt her. He is going to help her get her powers,” she said.“ What?”“ I don't know how to explain this. But their bond is different. I can't imagine why? Since they are not blood related.”“ But he is going to save her,” she said looking up at me. I could see she was telling the truth but there was something else she wasn't telling me.“ I have told you more than enough,” saying that she turned around and walked away.“ What is happening, Aaron?” I asked, In a defeated voice.“ What am I going to do?” I asked.“ We are all in this, remember?” He said, patting my shoulder.“ Come on, he is awake,” Aaron said before walking past me. With a sigh I couldn't help but follow him.My shoulders slumped in defeat as I didn't have any choice but to follow him.I looked in front of me furrowing my brows. Max was chatting with Bella's fa
Ava“ Kaleb?” I gasped before I ran towards the door before locking it.“ Hi love,” he said, getting up from the edge of the bed as he came walking towards me. I was beyond shocked.“ What are you doing here?” I asked in a hushed voice with a half smile on my face. I was happy to see him but then I was confused how can he could break inside the enchantment.“ how can I miss my princess coronation ceremony?” He said, bowing his head down, as he asked for my hand. Looking at him with a smile I placed my hand in his.Then he stood straight up, before taking my hand to his lips and kissing the back of my hand. I giggled, he does treat me kindly not like Mikael.“ I assumed you were waiting for your makeup to be done?” He asked with raised eyebrows.“ Yeah,” I said, trying to control my laughter.“ Well then, let's get you ready,” he said, taking my hand and swirling me. “ Ta-da,” he said, taking me in front of the mirror.“ Wow,” I breathed out looking at my reflection. My make was on po
Gideon“ Let's get going,” I said to the boys who were standing in the living room for quite a moment now. We were all waiting for Aaron.“ We have to go there using a car,” he said.“ Why? Didn't you transport us to the outside of the dark forest?” Andrew asked.“ It was different,” he said.“ The enchantment there was not letting me transport myself,” he added.“ Wait!! You tried to go there? When?” I asked. He didn't even inform us.“ Yes, last night when we all went to our rooms to take a rest. I wanted to make sure I can take you all there,” he added.“ But the enchantment there was too strong for me to even transport myself. I even felt something was off there, like some kind of black energy,” he said, thinking back on what he had experienced. Recalling, I remembered Victor had also said something was off in the forest.“ Come on, we don't have time to waste,” Aaron said, walking past me. Max had already arranged cars for us. Aaron had a conversation with him last night. And he
Ava“ Ummm,” groaning in pain, I woke up. I felt my whole body ache. What happened to me? I looked at both sides where Abigail and Jenna were sleeping but they were not there.“ what happened to my body?” I asked Mia who has been pacing back and forth in my mind.“ Half of the powers have been released by our mate,” she said. From her voice I could tell that she is excited.“ Gideon?” I asked, how? What did he do?“ I don't know but it has been released. Now that everyone has witnessed it, be prepared to receive it,” she added.“ Hey, you are up?” Jenna said, placing the tray on the centre table.“ Yeah, I couldn't find you. Where were you?” I asked.“ We were up before you and saw you were in sleep so we went ahead to check everything for the celebration,” she answered. I almost forgot today is the day.“ I brought your breakfast here,” she said, pointing at the tray. I tilted my head to look at the clock and it read past 9. I overslept.“ I overslept,” I mumbled.“ Do you feel anyth
Ava After the meal Mikael, Abigail and I spent some time in the backyard. He told me about the white wolf and silver wolf. Half of the things he had said were false.“ Call me if you need anything. I have to go now,” he said. Looking up at him I nodded my head.“ There is a lot of work that needs to be done,” he said.“ don't wander away, you know the danger right,” he said looking at Abigail, his voice was full of warning.“ We will come back in a few moments,” I said.“ Okay,” saying that he turned around and left.I turned my head to look at Abigail who rolled her eyes at him before looking at me.“ How do you do that?” She asked, making a disgusting face.“ Believe me I would have thrown up if it continued for a second.” I laughed at her. She really hates him. Then I saw her looking up at the sky as she sighed in content.“ Finally everything will fall into its place,” she said, closing her eyes.“ Yeah,” I said. I am still unaware of what is about to happen, I only have a bad fe
Gideon“ Please take a seat,” Carlo said. He was the one who attacked me in the forest.“ Carlo, could you please talk to your people? I will return the stone as soon as our work is done,” I said, pleading with him.“ You don't understand,” he said with a sigh, shaking his head.“ Take him with you, Carlo. Let them see,” Marci said.After the effect of the drug wears off, Marci had told us everything about the forest. Why it was created and who was responsible for that. As usual Andrew got angry and was ready to tear the heads of the humans off of their bodies.They had offered us food and even said they would take us back as they creatures of the forest never harm their people.The most shocking thing I heard was that they knew about us and from which Kingdom we all came from, even though they don't go out quite often.“ Please come with us, your highness,” Carlo said, and we got up.“ I could handle them if you say,” Andrew whispered.We all gave him a look as he shrugged his should
