Chapter 1: Was This How She Dies?

"Get off that cot, you lazy piece of bones!" Her stepmother's shrill voice broke through her haze of unconsciousness, at the same time a kick met her back and the sleep instantly vanished from her eyes. Islinda would have blinked against the faint sunlight filtering through the window if it wasn't for the angry-looking woman hovering over her. The bloody look on Madam Alice's face hinted that it would be the end of her life if she dared to give a cheeky response. Hence she bit the inside of her cheeks and tamped down the anger surging through her veins, saying instead, But the woman scoffed at her. Perhaps, she has come to realize how ridiculous it was to refer to her with the title of "mother" when she wasn't. Her stepmother, Alice, seemed to let go of that because she announced the next minute, "There is nothing to eat." Islinda winced inwardly, holding back the words she wanted to hurl at her. Of course, there was nothing to eat because she and her daughters exhausted the rem...

Chapter 2: Islinda Was Left At A Crossroad
However, whoever knocked into her might as well have given her a taste of death because her head spun, pain pierced through her body from the impact and she squeezed her eyes shut in a grimace. Deep down, she knew the hunger was responsible for the dizziness but not the suffocating weight on top of her. Wait, did she just say weight….? Her mind finally cleared and Islinda found out that she was being pressed down by a larger and heavier body. At first, she panicked, having thought it was a hunter trying to force himself on her, until she lifted her head and stared into golden glowing eyes that sent fear slithering down her spine in a dark caress. "By the gods, no…." She choked, recognizing the otherworldly creature staring at her with those strange eyes, and the blood drained from her face.No! It was impossible! it wasn't even dusk yet! "Never cross the borderland between the human and the fae," her father had once warned her as a kid. Growing up, she had heard people tell the ta

Chapter 3: Father Wants Me Home
"Who wants to join me?" The Cruel Prince muttered just as he mounted his black stallion. While that seemed like a normal horse it was obvious from the dark tendrils emanating from the horse's eyes that it had been infused with his dark magic. The horse named Maximus was a strong yet unruly horse and there had been plans of putting it down after its last attack on the poor Fae who had attempted to subdue it until Prince Aldric claimed and was able to tame it. It was obvious from the way both the master and the horse worked together that they were perfect for each other. "No one?" Prince Aldric tilted his head to the side, studying the soldiers that had been sent to assist him to get rid of the latest monsters that had ravaged the Fae village. And while that had seemed like a request, the sinister smirk curving the corner of his mouth suggested that he was merely teasing them because he liked to work alone.Prince Aldric of the Winter Court was the last son to be born to King Oberon o

Chapter 4: Saving The Injured Fae
Islinda believed that she made the best decision that benefitted both sides even though her bones rattled with the cold and her breath was a repetitive fog in front of her. She could not lose the deer that would feed her family for a while, nor could she abandon the Fae that might come after her for not helping him if he mysteriously survived. So yes, she did not exactly have a choice. Hence Islinda fulfilled the task slowly yet persistently by taking the Fae with her and walking a great distance before letting him down at a spot and returning for the deer, covering the same gap. Thus, she repeated the same pattern over and over again till the abandoned hut came into view. Now close to her destination, her blood began to pound loudly in her ears as her heart rate increased. Islinda had no idea what awaited her there, were the rumors true or false? Does she walk to her salvation or her end? A lot of thoughts filled her mind as it hit her that this might be her final moment. Nonethe

Chapter 5: Valerie
If the Fae died or not, was entirely up to his fate because Islinda did not give up on him. As a huntress prone to dangers in the forest, she never departed with her medicine pouch and had kept it inside her quiver alongside her scanty arrows. Hence, she easily reached for the skin bag and when she opened it, picked the herbs that she needed and put it in the bowl. She pulled the drawstrings and closed it, putting the medicine pouch back in the quiver, at least what was left of it. Some of the herbs she had picked during her hunts and the rest she had bought from medicine peddlers for a huge price. Parting with it all just to treat a Fae that might kill her later, Islinda did not know whether to laugh or cry at her pathetic kindness. Having grown up with a stepmother who didn't care about her well-being, the herbs were for her use. But not anymore. When it came to treating a Fae, Islinda's knowledge was stretched, hence she nearly put in everything that she felt could "attempt" to

Chapter 6: Who Would Play His Games
The palace ground was peaceful with the Faeries going about their business and respective duties with smiles on their faces. However, that harmony was disrupted when a portal suddenly opened up in the middle of the courtyard and everyone stopped what they were doing out of curiosity to see who had arrived this time. Only royalties and high-ranking officials had access to the portals and they were hoping to see a familiar, if not popular Fae, only for the blood to drain from their faces when the cruel prince stepped out instead. Time seemed to have slowed down as they stared, jaws slacking at the dark prince that they hadn't expected at the palace. "Hello?" Prince Aldric waved at the people whose feet were stuck to the ground in shock, "Who missed me?" He grinned wickedly at them, revealing sharp white teeth. They snapped off from their shock and there was instant pandemonium as every one of them began to run in the opposite direction. No one wanted to be near him. Even the guards w

Chapter 7: Save The Crown Prince
A gold circlet rested on King Oberon's head, his long silver hair clung to his face and hung over his ears while his blue piercing eyes were a reflection of his unbridled rage as he stared down at his son.His question echoed across the throne room and was filled with so much power that the others present with him shuddered from the intensity and lowered their head, afraid to meet the fuming King's attention. Only the strongest would rule the kingdom of Astaria and the prince's dark side was attracted to the power emanating from his father, the king. While King Oberon was the powerful in the land, like every other Fae who has lived for long, he's waning with age and Adric does not doubt that he would win if they were to spar now. Not that it would be an easy victory. Prince Aldric forced his body into a mock bow saying, "I am sorry for my untidy appearance, your majesty, the King. However, as soon as I received your summon, Father, your royal dog headed your call as soon as possible

Chapter 8: She Would Protect Valerie With Her Life
Exhaustion finally invaded her body, her face gray with it. Islinda staggered in her steps as if she was drunk with wine and her knees would have buckled from the pressure however she gritted her teeth and made it to her village through sheer will. She was walking through the muddy, frozen roads of the village and would have hated returning to that cramped cottage, but at the moment, she was so cold that she hungered for a bit of warmth. There weren't many people on the way, not that any would spend time outside in this harsh winter and at night. However, the few people she had come across sent shivers down her spine when she saw their hungry gazes and the way they pinned on her prize - the deer. Their covetous look made Islinda straighten up, her body tensed and she swore to the gods, she would fight them to the death if they attempted to rob her. She had worked hard for this and would not let another reap the benefit of her labor. Perhaps, it was the determined look in her eyes or

Chapter 9: Make A Wrong Decision
They sold part of the meat, Islinda did not know how to feel about that as she stared at the sumptuous meal set before her. Not that she had not seen it coming, but she had desperately hoped that they would be considerate this time. But all she had learned was that her family couldn't change as much as you couldn't remove the stripes off a zebra. She almost lost her limbs to frostbite - although Valerie was part of the reason, not that they needed to know that - Islinda had hoped they would ration their limited resources as much as they could. But no, the first thing they had done was to sell off half of the meat and buy foodstuffs. Islinda was not against them buying food items that they would use to cook but they prepared a feast - when there wasn't a cause for celebration - instead of making something simple for breakfast. They couldn't afford such a lascivious lifestyle, especially in this season, Now, the meat that was supposed to last them about two weeks had it been controlle

Chapter 10: Die Because Of Him
She did not come to see him again, the human girl failed to keep her promise, Valerie noted as he sat down on that bore floor, still leaning against the wall. A day has gone since her last visit and silence has been his only companion. It was funny how fate worked because he had gone from being a predator to prey. Valerie had not been able to sleep a wink since that night the human girl left him here to heal - or die. He was in no state to defend himself nor were there the usual guards to keep him safe. Being this close to the Divider made him very uncomfortable knowing that any creature could creep in and end his life, hence he refused to give in to sleep. At least awake, he could put up a good fight or find a way to escape. He was a prince and couldn't die easily, that was the only explanation for how he had escaped the wraith. But now he was struggling for his life and dangerously low on his magic. However, he would not give up knowing his father must have known by now that he ne
