Starr's POV"Impressive work on the arm right there" I said from the side as I watched her move swiftly on the ground and with the sword in her hand.At first when I had started training her like she had requested, I was too frightened that she would really hurt herself. I had to make things easy for her like giving her wooden sticks as practice, and also giving her heavy gears to put on just to make sure her body was still okay.And gradually I realized that I was never trained that way, and didn't become the skilled warrior I was with petty trainings and heavy gears for protection.My father never wore such for battle. I did question how possible it was for people to go to war without heavy gears and return without any injury but drops of their enemies blood spilled on their bodies.Then he trained me, making me have all the injuries needed to teach me battle skills and the rest. But here I was, starting off by training my mate with very weak methods.It wasn't making her strong and
Starr's POVThe coronation still stood, and my word was my bond to finally place her on the position which she really deserved.But before then, I needed to see someone, someone very important, an old friend of mine who had aided me in saving the woman I called too much: Augustra. Oh how pleasant it was to finally see one of the best people in my life. He told me he never died, and only chose to separate himself from the crowd just for his peace and his quiet.There was still need for catching up with him, and so I paid him a visit.I stood before the main gate, the entrance to his solitude. I glared at the men who had made a ridicule of my previous state, despite the fact that the one I had loved was on the verge of dying and they had one of the greatest healers who could heal her. I remember the events of that say vividly as though it happened few minutes before I stood at the gate. I was mentally brought to my knees by common men who couldn't stand few minutes with me, willing to
Third POVThis aged woman who had stared at Starr and disappeared into thin air at the very moment he was distracted had found her way back to her home.Hers was an old hut, whose structure was made of wooden sticks visible enough to even view the interiors. She struggled with her feeble bones and knees, walking her way into the hut.She sat on the molded chair, and she let out a slight grunt as she bounced her bottom against the chair. She leaned against the wall and heaved a heavy sigh, grinning slightly at the slight aches she felt round her entire body."Why isn't she back?" A lady walked into the hut and began rapping out words, standing and moving round the room unsteady without letting the older one speak."Sera.." the old woman tried to say, sighing at the younger woman. "You told me you would return with her." She kept saying"Sera.." the older one struggled to utter a word "You gave me your word. You promised you would return with her and her fruit" Sera kept speaking, rat
Third POVThere she was, standing, few metres before the door with her head tilted downwards. She inhaled deeply as she closed her eyes and rubbed her hands together, swallowing hard as though it was her fears she tried drowning inside of her. The thoughts of what the night held for her never departed her mind as she tried imagining the things which would go on as long as she was the main participant of the event for the night.She could overhear the echoes of the screams, the laughter and the chants of the faithfuls who had shown up to grace the event. The vibrations of the sound caused by their constant stomping of feet against the ground passed through her, causing within her this slight shriek that departed in less than a second. She peeped through the slight opening which the door had created, and her eyes trailed from the first sight of the happy bearded man laughing his entire soul out towards the man she was betrothed to at the far end of the room, just seated with his head
Arianna's POVIt was as though it was just the both of us in the same room, hearing ourselves speaking and assuring love to each other without having to consider who watched or who was paying close attention. I could only picture myself standing before him, and picture myself smiling as broad as the sky while he told me of how my presence in his life had transformed him.I remember just being an ordinary slave traded girl who was sold to make sure that the debt my parents were meant to pay would lessen just in the time of my stay with the man whom I was traded to, but things took a drastic turn for all of us as I became the center of attraction of all find of emotions: love, lust, hate, envy and the rest whose names never existed.I stood before the presence of many witnesses, sowing my heart and my everything into this relationship, assuring myself that it would bloom and make its output a sweetness and a source of joy to the people who looked at us.Whenever I looked down towards t
Third POVThe coronation was done, as successful as she had imagined how it should have been. The only difference between what she had imagined and what she had experienced was just the way she had had the experience with him in the secret room, far from what others couldn't see.She awoke from her bed and turned towards her right, and her eyes captured the man she had made vows to staring at her, smiling with his hands placed under his head to support his body positioning on the bed while he kept on with his smiley face."My Luna..!" he teased with a broader smile, chuckling as soon as Arianna's face brightened up with the a deeper blush which he didn't expect."Oh stop it!" she rubbed her hands against his chest, pushing him slightly as she could hear the resounding words of her title being called Perhaps, she had considered it to be too sweet for her ears to hear, especially when it came from her mate. But she saw it as more of a honour of a random person she walked past by the ro
Third POVWhat he watched pierced his heart just so hard to the extent that his heavy breathing was an evidence of what he felt within him. He stood by the side, watching every single movement of Augustra and his mate, monitoring them both even the slightest smile that was projected at each other.He was silent, yet within his heart had the most of conversation which his mouth could never utter. It was as though he fought with his friend within him, and the outcome seemed as dark as his countenance.The smile on Augustra's face broadened even more as he kept speaking with the lady, but as his face turned towards Starr's direction and both their eyes locked, his smile began to fade, and the dark countenance on Starr's face had scared him to some extent."Hey man, why such a fierce face?" Augustra asked as he finally broke the grip on Arianna's hand and then walking towards Starr.It was at that moment Starr's countenance became less darker, and it felt as though there was a heavy burde
Giovanni's POVOh how sweet was the feeling that stirred up inside of me. The feeling of having to intelligently perceive the scent of victory and have quite the upper hand against a man who was at least, more powerful than I.I stood at the balcony of the second floor, standing with my hands placed on the rails and having my eyes stare at the large landscape which was before me. Nature was beautiful, and the thoughts of having to make Arianna see the places which intrigued me had already stirred inside of me.She could have been too stubborn to follow the path of freedom and sweetness, and this attitude of hers had caused me to change the way I thought about her, but to some extent, I still felt something inside for her, that feeling that made me change my thoughts of killing her after every few minutes.My right hand was occupied with a tall glass of wine, the red one to be precise, and during the intervals of my thoughts and meditation, it quenched my thirst and gave me more freedo

Starr's POVI held his hand so strong, angered within his spirit as he groaned out in his pain. But all of his screams came to an end as I watched his head spilled out blood on my hands and on the ground.It was an arrow which goes through his head, and just before my eyes, my rival was killed, my rival was dead, and it wasn't I who had killed him as I had planned to.I turned around to see Arianna. She held the bow in her hand even after she had fired the arrow at him. She looked more than stressed out, like one who had partaken of a very fierce war.She stood with heavy breath, having sweat roll down her face, and blood spilling from her face. I couldn't tell of what had happened between she and Giovanni, but if she was present in the same room with me, then it was certain that Giovanni was done for, and nothing was ever going to bring him back But when she dropped her suspended hand, and I smiled at her, she had one that didn't last for long as she immediately dropped to the ground
Third POV.He stood at few inches close to the door, his heart being heavy and burdened, and for the first in the longest of time, he had a nervous breakdown, with his hands shaky and his face beaded with drops of sweat which he wiped off with his hands.He pushed the door open and walked into the room to find the man whom he had anticipated a fight with seated with his right leg crossed over his left, and his hands placed on the armrest of the chair and his eyes directed towards the door."I've been expecting you" Gomez said from the side as he shrugged his shoulders back and forth, staring at Starr with a smile on his face."The feeling is mutual. Missed me..?" Starr asked as he took bold steps towards where Gomez sat, his sword placed in its scabbard and hung around his chest as he walked.But as soon as he kept walking towards where Gomez sat, six men ran out from their hiding spots with Spears in their right hands and a shield in their left hands.Starr stopped on the way, taking
Third POV.He watched as Callum pointed his fingers towards someone behind him, and the only one whom he could think of was Arianna as she was the only one who stood at same side with him.He turned immediately with doubtful thoughts and a squeezed face, about to look at Arianna, but as soon as he had turned round, his eyesight was blinded for some seconds, and could feel something colliding against his face in a very rapid manner.He staggered to stand with eyes closed for seconds after feeling the pain, and then he felt a forced push against his chest as he fell to the ground, all these happening before he could even wrap his head around the things that happened to him.He fell to the ground with a release of a loud groan, but then he jerked upwards again with a squeezed face and his hands massaging his chest and his forehead at the same time "What the.." he couldn't utter the complete words as he stared at Arianna and tried connecting her presence with what had happened to him whi
Third POVHe fell on the ground roughly with glass shattered on his body, but quickly he opened his eyes and rolled over on the ground, taking stance as he walked backwards in readiness for the man who was approaching him.The other held a sword in his hand, swinging it stylishly as he approached Callum, and at a closer distance, he swung the sword with all of his energy to tear Callum by the neck, but the other lowered his head quickly, throwing his folded fist through the man's belly with all force that caused blood to spill out from his mouth.The sword fell from his hands, and so Callum grabbed him by the shirt and by the trousers, holding them with his left and right hand respectively, and throwing thenman oit of tge nearest window, crahing the glass and falling to the ground."What the hell..?" Callum asked with heavy breath, standing and staring at the place where the man laid.He heard footsteps, bold ones that came from the direction of the door, and he turned around to see a
Third POV.With a hasty spirit he ran, with all enthusiasm, he dropped the glass on the table far away from where anyone would ever sight it. He stood and looked at where the drink was spilled, he immediately continued with what he had started earlier, trying to use his hands to dry off the stains from his body.lHe ran again, running towards the door. He had chosen within himself to open the door for the lady who sought for him, and just before he could grab the door knob, he paused immediately and with his hands joined together like a cup, he immediately exhaled through his mouth into his cupped hand.He was satisfied with what his nostrils had perceived, though the stench of alcohol didn't really show off in what he had perceived.He held the door knob and turned it round, pulling the door towards his direction, and the first ray of light hit his eyelids and then the view of the beautiful lady who stood out there with her hands still folded and placed on her chest, standing with he
Third POVShe had a tight blue jean trousers and a fancy sneaker on her legs. She threw her hair down, and had her makeup on her face. She stood at the gate, standing in a curvy manner that caused the men at the gate to stare at her with awe."Arianna?" one of the men called it in surprise of who he saw "Will you keep staring or would you let me in?" She asked with her hands holding her bottle of lipgloss, applying more with so much elegance that caused the men to have their eyes glued on her "Who would you like to see?" The other asked. He had this unimpressed face staring at Arianna, while the other began licking his lips with so much erotica in his thoughts."Giovanni. I would love to have a word with him" she replied, bottling back the lip gloss in her pockets and folding her hands, placing it on her chest while she looked at them both.The unimpressed guard at the gate walked inside without uttering a word, walking towards the house where he would see Giovanni and communicate w
Starr's POV.I knew she was more than willing to fight and also make sure that the war was ended with our songs of praises behind released from our lips, but at what cost She spoke with the enthusiasm u had years backwards, and it was such a beautiful thing to see someone should more energy than I did."Do you think you can do what I have in mind?" I asked her as I turned fully towards her, holding her hands and looking straight into her eyes.Oh how she had do changed in a few weeks. She had this boldness written in her eyes, this strange strength inside of her which radiated on her face and in her eyes.She nodded, smiling as well as she squeezed my hand as well. Here was the moment when I would let her know what we had planned behind her back."It's going to be an urgent war, not something we have planned out perfectly with our war strategy in check. Just as we are taking our men unawares, we are also taking Gomez's men unawares as well." I said as I leaned closer to her, making s
Starr's POV"What troubles you?" a light voice called out to me in my imperfect place of solitude, causing me to turn backwards and checking at who had uttered the word behind me.It was Arianna, standing and resting her shoulders against the wall, and her hands folded and placed on her chest as she stared at my direction."It's you...!" I responded as I turned backwards and heaved off the heavy sigh."Were you scared?" She asked as I heard her light footsteps approaching me while I sat on the bed with my face positioned towards the window, staring at the bright sky.For the first time, perhaps not the first time, but it was the first i had ever displayed by fear to her while she was there. I remember the previous day when I had cried out my entire being without ever remembering the greatness of my personality, and here I was, seated with my heart jumping off its position at the slightest sound of my mate's voice."How long have you been standing there?" I asked her as I adjusted myse
