"Do you not want me to stay?" Giselle asked as I stood with my hands crossed over my chest while she stood on my doorstep.She came unannounced, not like she ever tells me before she comes, saying she was going to be staying with me for a few weeks because she believes I'm lonely and likely to make vile decisions.She was dressed in a black long jacket, black shorts, and, I kid you not, a top hat, looking like a low-budget magician."Come in," I muttered, moving aside for her to step in. I didn't notice a suitcase till she was fully inside the apartment."Wow! "You are really serious," I said unbelievably, and I walked to my room and slammed the door behind her. It wasn't making any sense at all,"Open the door this instant before I get mad," she yelled, banging on the door, and I swear I saw a lightning bolt pass through the door knob."You of all people should know that I've been through so much to let a threat get to me."The banging stopped, and I thought she just wanted to trick

Rowena******I flew into the air at the first attack Gwen threw at me; my magic wasn't working. I could hear sounds of Jaden getting mercilessly beaten, and I hit the ground."Focus, Ro. Channel your emotions." I whispered to myself and kept whispering, but it was like pouring water on stone.Fruitless!Was I hallucinating the last time?I stretched my hands and imagined myself levitating, still channeling my rage and the thousand emotions I was feeling; it worked perfectly in my head, but I was still firmly rooted to the ground.Great! I got into a fight with wizards without checking if my powers worked."You would have made it a lot easier for the both of us if you had just let him go." "Now take a look at him," Gwen laughed as she slowly lifted me in the air. For the first time since our fight started, I caught a glimpse of Jaden.Sprawled on the floorHalf-dead maybewith blood coming out everywhere.Gwen's twin sister is definitely a lot more twisted."I thought

Chapter 10Writer's povBack at the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, clutching his pocket dagger tightly, showing how irritated he was getting. Gwendoline and Georgia were supposed to be back with great news long before now, but they were both nowhere to be seen. Not even a sign of Prince Jaden, at least.Rafael was obviously running out of patience, and it was evident in his facial expression as beads of sweat ran freely from his forehead down to his slightly pointed nose."The Queen demands your presence immediately, sir Rafael."With a wave of his hand, Rafael dismissed the guard that had come to deliver the message to him. "Why does she want to see me?" he thought. "Gwen has probably messed things up again."He dabbed his face with a towel and made sure he looked as relaxed as possible. If by chance the Queen found out about his plan to kill the prince, he was ready to deny every bit of it.One more glance at the mirror and he was sure he was good to go, then he h

Chapter 11*Writer's pov*"Howdy, mate," Aaron's unpolished British accent jolted Jaden back to the present, and he turned to face him fully. The cup of coffee in his hand was steaming hot and still looked untouched. "What's bothering you, Jaden?""This is the most complicated case I've ever handled in a long time." "Why is everything taking so long?"Aaron kept staring at him, you know, with that "are you sure about that?" look."You know...." Aaron started and slowly sat at the edge of the desk. "You can lie to any other person in this entire world, including your uncle, but you can't lie to me." C'mon, man, tell me what's eating you up. I know it's something more than this case."Jaden stopped what he was fake-typing and relaxed in his chair, stroking his chin. He struggled with different thoughts about whether or not to tell Aaron about all his encounters, about Elle or the sons of Zed or the twin witches that attacked him, about his realistic dreams that had just been reoccurring

Chapter 12 Rowena's pov I stared at the note, totally unfazed, probably because I had Giselle by my side. "Who could have sent this?" She asked, ripping it to pieces. "Who else? Definitely the wizards," I replied and walked away. "Where do you think you're going to?" Giselle asked as I grabbed my coat from the top of the chair I was sitting on earlier. "To see that Jaden's okay," I replied without giving her a look, and she pulled me before I could get to the door. "You get a death threat, and the next thing on your mind is finding your little lovebird?" She yelled. "I'm not going to look for you this time," she added, tightening her grip around my arm. "You and I both know who they're after," I yelled back, wriggling myself from her grip and storming out the door. I got out of the house and took a taxi to my workplace; that's the easiest way to know where Jaden works, plus I haven't been there for days now, so I at least owe them an apology.

Chapter 13Jeremy's pov"Did you get my coffee?"I raised my head from my computer after a few seconds of not getting an answer from Aaron. I looked at him, and he had that annoying smirk on his face."Can you not joke around?" "I really need the coffee."He dropped the coffee on my desk and shrugged.Then he turned and left. Heaven knows what his problem is, but I'll take care of whatever it is later. I have work to do.Speaking of work, I've been staring at all the files in front of me for the past few minutes. These were evidence against Carrie's boyfriend. Everything was as clear as day, but something was still off."Hey Jeremy, you might want to see this."I got up lazily and walked up to where Xavier, someone I work with, sat in front of his laptop. There were photos from the crime scene that I hadn't actually taken time to study."Look, Jeremy, there's a wine glass at the table, and there's an empty bottle of Rittenhouse Rye." According to all her medical records, she's not an a

Chapter 14Writer's povAt the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, with one hand in his pocket and the other caressing his pocket dagger.As usual.Now that he had the Queen on his side in his quest to kill the Prince, he could act freely and scheme whatever he wanted in the open."Now... I want you both to understand that the Queen has approved the death of Jaden. "So you're no longer working for just me but for the Queen, and with that, by her orders, I send you out at this moment to bring back the prince, dead or alive." He said it gleefully."Actually dead, preferably." "I don't want to know whether he has a guardian or not; all I care about is his life."He turned to face the twins fully after his statement. Rafael had already released them after his discussions with the Queen, although he didn't tell her that he had been plotting Jaden's death long ago, nor did he say why he locked the twins up "We're not promising anything, Rafael, but we'll try our very best."

Jaden's povI got to the office early the next day feeling so elated. It must be because of the time I spent with Giselle yesterday, even though I still don't understand why she suddenly wanted me to leave in the middle of the conversation.By the way, I had a good time, no matter how short it was."Young man, where have you been since yesterday?" I showed up at your place, but you were not there. "You went out without me, man, and I'm so emotional right now." We both laughed at his early morning foolishness, and I tried as much as possible not to continue the discussion so I wouldn't have to explain where I went and who I was with."That reminds me, how's your little miss coffee maker?""You haven't actually told me what I need to know about both of you because the other day, she ran all the way from her coffee shop just to ask me about you.""She was a little disappointed when I told her you didn't come out because you were avoiding some things."The file in my hand fell, and beads

Rowena's povWhen they were done running around, we finally sat down to eat.As we ate, I watched Jaden play with his food. I couldn't blame him because if I were him, I would definitely have a lot of things to ask.Giselle nudged my side with her elbow when she noticed I was staring too much, and I immediately returned my gaze to my food."Are you sure we shouldn't take her to a hospital?" He asked Giselle, like I was not sitting right there.Giselle dropped her fork and violently rolled her eyes at him."Of course we should take her to the hospital and tell them that she got the burns from a bridge hanging over naked flames in the wizard kingdom." She replied dramatically."How do you think that sounds?" She added, and he slowly returned to his food like a kid scolded by his mother."Giselle, calm down," I whispered, and she sneered."But it'll be too painful to let it heal on its own," he stated again.I raised a brow at him, hoping it'd make him shut up and stop triggering Giselle

Jaden's povWhen I was done wallowing in the awe of my new-found abilities, my senses returned, and I bolted.It was impossible to run when I got to the hallway; the place was crowded with people dressed in plaid attire like they were from ancient England.It was a good thing no one knew what I looked like because it made it easy for me to glide through the crowd.I was sweating profusely, my hair was damp, and my underarms felt terrible. I wondered carefully for hours, trying to find an escape route, but for some reason I ended up going back to the place I started from.The prison."Let's go see how our young prince is doing."I heard that awful, familiar voice giggle, and that was when I cornered into a room. I had to find a means of escape, and fast, because it was obviously a matter of minutes before they found out.Immediately, I noticed a bright, blinding light from behind me and shielded my eyes as I turned to look at it.A door had opened, and my heart raced so fast I could hea

Chapter 24Rowena's povGiselle stared at me like I spoke a completely different language. I knew I was about to be a fool for love again, but I couldn't help it; after all, I am cursed."What did you just say?" She blinked."I'll do it," I repeated. I immediately began to walk to the room so I could grab my coat, and she followed me quickly."Let's say you do manage to cross this bridge and get to the other side. How do you expect to rescue him? Do you think you will be in the kind of state to fight wizards?" She yelled, and a realisation hit me.I was so fired up by the fact that the man I was in love with was in danger that I didn't think anything through."Get your shit together, Ro," she added, and I watched her fingers run through her dense hair."So I should just let him get killed?" I asked, and my voice sounded a lot less fierce than I expected it to be. I knew I was scared.Terribly scared."The only sensible thing you've said this evening," she replied. She watched me while

Wizard Kingdom*Writer's pov"Arrrghhh!How could you do this to me, Maximon?"Jaden shrieked in anguish as Maximon, or, should one say, Rafar, tortured him beyond human imagination.Of course, what more was expected of a man who feeds off the cries of pain from whoever falls prey to his deadly trap?The Queen stood graciously at the end of the large room with Gwen and her sister, both of whom didn't enjoy being part of whatever little game they were playing with the prince."Why not just kill him right away and get this done with?" Gwen murmured and looked around to make sure no one heard her.The Queen smiled mischievously as she watched her right-hand man turn the prince into a pauper begging for his life.Rafar walked to Jaden with metal pliers in his hands. Jaden knew the worst was about to happen, and he started to struggle in his chains, but it was fruitless."You will pay dearly for this maxim!" Jaden cried."Rafar, little prince, the name's Rafar. And I do not have any time f

Human world*Rowena's povGiselle and I sat at a table in a popular local bar down the street, and while Giselle kept sipping from her tumbler of beer, I was lost in my thoughts of where exactly Jaden could have gone."It's been hours since he went missing; don't you think it's time we involved the cops?"She stared at me for a while, swallowed the beer she was storing in her mouth for reasons best known to her, and dropped the tumbler."And tell them what?A grown man left the house last night after a little argument, and now we can't find him anywhere, and worse still, his number isn't connecting?" She replied dramatically."You call what happened last night a 'little argument'? You were about to kiss your younger sister's lover, and you call that a 'little argument'!"I was fuming, and flashes of what I saw last night kept replaying in my head as I fought with the urge to pull her hair off of her scalp."Well, if that's how you see it, then it's clearly not my fault that your so-c

Chapter 21Jaden's povAs we drank I told him everything, my undying love to Giselle and the way she rejected me after I kissed her."Who is this Giselle anyways" he asked, taking a sip from the beer in his tumbler."A guardian, you said you know they exist. She's one of them, her sister too. They've been helping me escape the evil twins" I rattled.He smiled at an almost drunk me, nodded slowly before muttering the words, "guardians, I see".I ignored the look in his eyes as I blurted out literally everything I knew about Giselle and Rowena and how they've been the ones helping me from those twins..."Yesterday, while Giselle and I went to get my stuff from my house, she even told me that something more dangerous than those twins was coming and that I wouldn't be able to withstand it if I'm not careful....""Mmhmm... That so?" He interrupted taking another sip from his wine glass."Uhhm, I probably should get going now. I know they'll be worried sick about my whereabouts and I don't

Rowena's pov.....I was still on the floor when a knock came on the door. I wasn't ready to let anyone in, but Giselle kept threatening not to stop until I let her in.I cleaned up the already-dry tears that were on my face and dusted my dress before going to open the door."What exactly do you want to do?"I asked and returned to the position I was in before she knocked."Listen, Ro, and trust me when I say that there's nothing going on between both of us... I mean, he's a human, for crying out loud!"I can't possibly put my position as a guardian on the line for a human who'll fall in love with someone else someday.""So you're admitting that he's in love with you?"I asked again, still facing the floor and drawing indefinite shapes with my fingers on the tiled floor."Yes, he is, but that doesn't mean anything to me." He'll learn to accept the fact that I can't be with him, not now, not ever."Trust me, sis," she assured."Ro, we've been over this before, and I made it clear to yo

Writer's pov"The queen orders that you let the twins go," a guard announced, interrupting his torture plan."What, why all of a sudden?" He fumed as he took loud breaths.The guard only shrugged, bowed, and excused himself; Rafar fumed and headed straight for the human world, where he'll commence his prince hunting.Rafael hovered around Jaden's empty house for a while before settling on the gigantic sofa in the living room."Already living the life of a prince even before being crowned as one...""Well, it's best not to lose on both ends of the two worlds anyway."He caressed the large framed portrait of Jaden that hung on the wall a few meters away from where he sat before.Several thoughts of possible ways to capture and kill him kept crossing his mind, and suddenly he stopped moving and a menacing smile crept onto the corner of his lips."What if I don't really have to attack him all of a sudden?" He asked no one in particular as he continued caressing the picture."Such a lonely

Writer's povSaturday morning, and everywhere seemed more quiet than usual. Rowena strolled into the bathroom and had a warm and long bath before slipping into her work dress and strolling downstairs.Jaden was still asleep, and Ro couldn't help but admire how princely he looked. His sweaty face shone under the chandelier light that swayed a few feet above his head."If only you could love me the way you've always done...."She sighed and went to make breakfast for the three of them.Giselle joined her a few minutes later, and before long, Jaden too.The rest of the morning was uneventful, at least for Giselle and Jaden...........At work, Rowena couldn't concentrate on anything at all, in part because Giselle and Jaden went over to his place to get his stuff since he would be spending a long time at their house. The thought of leaving both of them to spend time together was disturbing, and Rowena kept making mistakes and mixing up people's orders."Hey, baby, are you ok?"Peter as
