As soon as I heard the man said he was the one who shot Elia, I gently dropped Elia on the ground and moved back away from the man as he was crouching down in front me with his black eyes fixed on me.
But then in a blink of an eye he was no longer crouching down in front of me as though he was not even there in the first place.
I stood up from the ground looking around me for any sign of him, then I felt a hand pulled me around my neck.
The man was behind me, he pulled me against his body such that my back rested against his chest. When I tried to scream, he put his forefinger on my lips shushing me up “ shhh, where do you think you're going ”.
I bit his finger till I could taste blood but he didn't remove his finger from the tight hold of my teeth as though he wasn't feeling the pain at all.
I released his finger from my teeth “ let me go ” I said.
He chuckled staring at his finger that was dripping blood
“ you're awake ” he said.I was shocked on seeing him again, I didn't expect to see here, I don't even know where I am.“ what are you doing here Fredrick ” I said after I tried to get off the bed but I couldn't.“oh, aren't you happy to see me princess ” he said.“ I'm never happy to see you ” I said still struggling to get of the bed.“ stop struggling you're under a spell ” he said.“ where's your stupid friend Alan, let him get me out of here ” I said angrily.“ he's not my friend ” Fredrick said and walked towards the oval shaped window as he placed his hands on the windowsill.“ whatever, where is he ? ” I asked.“ fighting I guess ”.“ what are you doing here anyway, aren't you supposed to be in the dungeon or even killed by now ” I said still surprised.Fredrick chuckled and
Derek flew high up in the sky, tracing his mate's scent. Aria's scent led him to a lavishly beautiful mansion. The mansion was built with gold all round.Derek landed on the ground and shifted back to his giant form, his eyes red with anger. He started to walk towards the entrance gate not caring about the people who were running for thier safety. When he got to the entrance gate, the two guards who stood guarding the gates blocked his way and this got him furious.“ MOVE ASIDE ” Derek barked at them.The guards were giants but they were in their human form, they knew who Derek was and about his temper, they moved out of the way not wanting to lose their heads.However Derek passed through the gate going inside the mansion still following Aria's scent. As soon as he got inside the hall of the mansion more giants who were also in their human form blocked his path.Derek didn't waste his time to talk to them as he char
We walked out of the room, I looked back once more to stare at Frederick, he still laid on the as he was with his eyes closed.I turned around to look at Derek, he still held my hand as he led me towards grand stairs. Why was he still angry? What made him so angry ? I asked in my head.We came down the stairs and my eyes widened in horror at what I saw, dead bodies everywhere, separated bodies.Blood splashed everywhere , both on the ground and on the wall. My gaze moved to a dead body with the intestine out of the stomach.I really wanted to throw up badly at the horrible sight in the hall, Derek did this. How angry he was, I hissed in pain at the way Derek held my hand tightly.“ you're hurting me ” i said for him to release my hand which he did but didn't turn around to look at me.We finally got out the mansion which was no longer beautiful due to the destruction Derek did to it. When we got outside the gate Derek
Clarrisa watched her son's back disappeared from her view, she was tongue-tied. He knew ? She thought, but how ? Derek knew that she and Claudia has planned secretly to silence Aria.But he kept quiet all these while as though he knew nothing, she then thought if Derek knew then his little mate will know about it too.Derek knew his mother will shocked as soon as he revealed her secret right to her face, but that was not his problem right now.He had many things to solve, and the only thing that could calm him down was his precious little mate. Even though he was still mad at her, she was his only joy.Derek got to his father's cell after some minute walk, his father knew he was coming as he stood at the front of his cell with his fingers wrapped around the bars of the cell.Both their gaze met as they stare into each other's eyes. It wasn't that his father or mother couldn't escape the dungeon but Alan being a little wise injected them some

Every where was dead quiet, which send shivers down her spine. Why did the woman leave her in this kind of place, where she clearly said she didn't belong here thought Elia to herself.Land of the dead, the thought alone make her skin crawl. Elia remembered how the woman looked like and then she remembered that she had only one eye yet she was seeing very clearly.Elia didn't know how long she stood in that particular place cause she was afraid to make a sound and alert some kind of creature which might not be nice to her.But then she remembered what the woman had said before she disappeared ‘ the same way you came ’.What does that mean ? The same way she came. Elia couldn't remember a single thing that happened to her, did she die and was now wandering in the land of the dead.Gosh she have so many questions that needed to be answered. But then, she can't continue to stand in one position if she didn't find her way out. Is there a wa
Magnus got to castle and headed straight to his room, the guards dare not block his way due to the dark aura emitting from him and the deadly glare he gave to them.He used his leg to kick open the door and got inside and used his back to close the door shut. He walked towards the bathroom with Elia in his arms.When he got in, he got into the bathtub and sat in putting Elia between his legs, he wanted to bath her and wash off dirt away from her body.He knew if she was awake, she wouldn't let him bath her as she was always shy. He made her lay her back on his chest so she will be comfortable.He started to unbutton her dress one by one till the last button exposing her bare shoulders and upper body, he tried his best not to look at bre**t which were round and soft in the eyes.He took the washing cloth and started washing Elia's body and then moved down to her lower part of body washing it clean. He washed her long brown hair and her round s
“ I like your name sweetheart ” Alan said, her name was as pretty as her, thought Alan to himself.Claudia glared daggers at him, she couldn't believe Alan of all giants would turn out to be her mate. She knew Derek wasn't her mate and can never be her mate.Infact he has a mate now, but she had loved Derek since the first time she set her eyes on him. Then when they were younger than now, she always follow him around the castle anywhere he goes.She always tried to strike a conversation with him as Derek didn't bother to talk to her “ hey ” she had said.Instead of replying her, Derek stopped on his tracks and faced her as she had following him around since like God knows when.“ why are you following around like a dog, go back to your family ” Derek said harshly with his face devoid from any emotion.Nevertheless Claudia smiled as though she didn't hear Derek called her a dog, though she felt sad a
Aria was happy that Frederick finally got to be with someone, his mate. Atleast good things were finally happening.Everything was going back to normal, Magnus and Elia had a beautiful baby girl now. The couples joy knew no bounds.She was equally happy for them most especially Elia, she finally got the life she deserves.A peaceful and happy life with the person she loved.Aria stared at Frederick again and this time he turned his head and stared back at her and she smiled at him.Frederick gave her a small smile before he turned his head away. He stared at Astrid who was busy annoying Angus.Angus would occasionally glared at her because he was still carrying baby Elizabeth who was now sucking her thumb.The baby stared around as if trying to be familiar with her surroundings. Soon the baby started crying again and Elia took the baby into her embrace. Everyone dismissed apart from Aria and Magnus so Elia could feed her baby.Everyone went their separate ways while Frederick decided
After Aria left, Astrid dragged Frederick into his room. He wondered how she knew that was his room as far as he knew, he had never seen her coming outside to northeast side of the castle.He was still speechless as he continued to stare at the young princess who had shifted into her human form.She dragged him by his wrist into the room and then closed the door when they got inside.“ Won't you say anything to me ” Astrid said when she turned around to face him.“ Uh.. I.. don't really know what to say right now your highness ” Frederick said and bowed his head a little showing respect.“ No, no you don't have to do that ” Astrid said giggling.“ Do what your highness ” “ I mean drop down the formalities between us... you can call me by my name, I'm your mate and you're mine so there's no need for that ” Frederick still find it hard to believe.Astrid was his mate ?Someone he was going to spend the rest of his life with forever till they die.He watched her as she giggled, he knew
Frederick was still trying to wrap his head with what was going on. He still find it hard to believe that Astrid was his mate all this while.But why had they not felt the connection between them since ?Was it because of the dark magic that resides in him before Alan had killed him ?That could be the the only reason.He looked at Astrid who was staring back at him with a big smile on her face, right now she didn't care if she was a princess or not.She didn't care about the servants passing by.The first time he had set his foot in Naal city, he had seen Astrid from afar and he had stopped to stare at her when she wasn't looking.He didn't know the reason why he had stopped that day but now he knew why.Because she was his mate.Though she was in her giant form that day and she was the beautiful princess everyone knew but now, seeing her in her human form now she looked even more prettier.Her brown big eyes twinkled and her brown long hair was pretty and reached her waist. He turn
As the days goes by Clarrisa the Queen was getting better, she was recovering from the loss of her husband, Ethan the King of Naal city.Since the death of her husband she hadn't stepped out of her room, the servants only came to serve her food and left as she prefered to be alone.Astrid the princess of Naal city had been the one accompanying her but today she seems distant which the Queen noticed.Astrid stood at the balcony attached outside the room, she leaned her body against the railings using one hand to surpport her chin while staring at the forest far away.Clarrisa noticed that she had been down for the past few days, sometimes when Astrid comes to see her, she would see deep frown on her face.Clarrisa decided to know what the problem was, she called her daughter who had been staring blankly at the forest.“ Astrid dear ” However, Astrid didn't hear her name being called and didn't move an inch from how she stood.Clarrisa quietly stood up from the chair, her thick braided
“ We could go one more round here in the bathtub ” he said and my eyes widened.What ???One more round ???No, no I could barely walk on my own. “ No, Derek I.... hmmm ” I moaned as he started moving his finger in and out my V slowly.Shit... this feels good.“ Do you like it ” he whispered into my ear.I couldn't even talk with the little torture he was giving me as I closed my eyes while biting my lips trying not make any sound.“ Ain't you going to answer me..... Moan for me, stop holding it back ” he said and used his thumb to free my lower lip from my teeth and he increased his pace with his fingers.“ Hmm ” I couldn't hold it back anymore as I moaned out. He roamed his hand all over my body as he kissed my nape and my neck, his hand moved to grab my tits.I felt him remove his fingers and he turned me around so I could face him.The next moment he locked my lips with his, he used his left hand to pulled me closer to his wet body while he used his other to caress my face.He
“ What are you.... ” before he could complete his words, I crushed my lips on his and kissed him.Our lips remained locked, while he continued to stare at me, his long lashes tickled mine as he blinked.Derek hadn't expected Aria to kiss him, he had just brought her to their room so she could sleep comfortably but it has turned to something else.He slowly slide his hand on my neckline, and then he closed his eyes and sucked on my lower lips gently. I closed my eyes and wrapped my hand around his neckline too sucking on his lower lips.He adjusted his hand on her neck as his mouth began to explore hers, he nipped on her lips continuously as her sweet scent coupled with her soft rosy lips were already driving him crazy.Thier kiss became wild and Derek couldn't hold himself back any longer. He dived his tongue into the hot carven of her mouth and his hand on her neckline moved down to her tiny waist. The kiss got intense as they began to suck on each other's tongue and nipped their l
Derek couldn't believe that Frederick was standing right in front of him. He froze at his spot, he couldn't talk or find the right word to say.Magnus who saw Derek's stiffened back wondered who was at the door so he decided to go check.Just as he came close to where Derek stood, he wanted to ask him what was wrong when his eyes were left open wide when he too saw Frederick.“ What the.... No way ” Magnus said.“ Why are you both staring at me like that ” Frederick finally spoke.“ Why wouldn't we, I mean how are you alive you're dead ” Magnus said still shocked.“ Did Aria bring you back ” Derek finally said something.“ Aria ? I don't know, I just woke up ” Frederick said. “ Didn't you see her ” Derek asked with furrowed brows.Didn't she just said she was going to the cold room.“ No ” Frederick answered.“ Oh, she is with Elia. Wait ? Was it Aria who brought him back ” Magnus said.‘ So she is still mad at me ’ thought Derek to himself.“ I think so cause after I told her about
Frederick eyes fluttered open, he blinked several times to adjust his eyes with the light. He looked around where he was with furrowed brows. He then slowly sat up on the bed he was and that was when he felt how cold the bed and the room was.He tried to stand up but was to weak, just then he felt a very sharp pain in his chest. He groaned holding his chest.It was as if he was pierced with thousands of arrows in his chest.What happened ?Where am I ?Why am I shirtless ?Was was going on through his head, he looked around the room and saw a young girl and a familiar face..... King Ethan.Why were they laying down on the bed with their eyes closed ?What was he doing here ? He gently got up from the bed and walked to the entrance door, he opened it and peeked his head out to see two giant guards standing on either side of the door.The guards weren't aware that Frederick was awake until he cleared his throat and they turn to look at him.“ Sir Frederick, you're awake ” the guard o
“ You can bring Frederick back to life ” Ron said to see Aria narrowed her eyes at him.“ What do mean I , how am I sure you're not the one who killed him ” I said giving him some distance.“ I didn't kill him ” Ron said. “ Whatever ”“ Do you want Frederick alive or not ” Ron said.“ I don't trust you ” I said.“ As expected of you ”“ What ”“ Nothing , I can help you bring him back ”“ With dark magic or what ? ” I said.“ No ”“ Then how ? ” I asked.I wanted to know how he intends to bring Frederick back, though I don't trust him but he had helped us to capture Alan.“ You will bring him back, I'll just tell you how you do it ” Ron said and I frowned.“ You mean I can bring him back ” I said confused.“ Yes, I said that before ” “ I don't think I can ” I said glancing at Frederick.“ Yes, you can ” Ron said and I stared at him as if wanting to know if he was telling me the truth.“ Can you stop staring at me like that, I told you can trust me. If I wanted to kill you I would ha
