Starr's POVIt was time. For so long I had kept this feeling back. I had told her how I love her and cherished her with all of my heart, but she didn't know that she was my mate, destined by the moon goddess to be with me forever.It was definitely possible to be in love with someone yet not destined to be together. I was grateful that both cases were valid and possible when it came to both I and Arianna.From the first time I had gotten her into my life, there has been a difference in me. I could feel it and it had remained permanent. My thoughts and attitudes towards the opposite gender had changed and I finally fell in love with her.I stood at the door leading into the room where I knew she would be, taking in a deep breath before I twisted the door knob towards the right and then pushed the door forward.There she was, seated by the mirror with her hands holding the comb and brushing her hair downwards. I could see her face clearly from her reflection on the mirror, and I could t
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
