ELVA’S POV

“Good morning, father… Good morning, mother…”

“Good morning, my beautiful daughter,” Father said to me.

My face went to the man who stood beside Father and I wondered if I had ever seen him in the palace or not. There were many servants, and I couldn’t boast of knowing them all by face, even after staying a year in the palace. But his outfit didn’t look like a servant’s. He wore a gray satin shirt atop brown trousers. When my eyes glanced at his shoes, I became certain that he wasn’t a servant.

I was about to greet him when Father spoke.

Pointing at the man, Father said, “Daughter, from today, Mr. Stewart, here, will be your trainer. He’s a werewolf from a distant pack who is an expert at teaching people how to control their wolves. His methods are proven and he’d be in charge of both your physical and mental training to awaken and control your wolf.”

Lucius had been the one tutoring me all this while. He had been generous enough to make out time to train his big siste

    ELVA’S POV I scrammed the bathroom the moment I heard a knock on my door. It was time for my first training with Mr Stewart and I was almost running late. I hadn’t thought it through before going into the bathroom to bathe. I’d still get dirty from the training, so it made no sense now that I had taken my bath. “Who’s there?” I asked as I forced my legs through my blue underwear. “It’s me,” Selena’s voice came from behind the door. I rushed to the door. “Sorry I locked the door,” I said as she came in, “I was taking my bath.” “These are your training uniforms,” she said, handing over a stack of folded clothes to me. I received it from her and she turned, leaving without saying one more word. Mum or Dad seemed to have just woken her from sleep to give me the uniforms. Her room was very close to theirs, making her the most accessible person whenever they needed to send someone on an errand. The uniforms were of three different colors; each consisting of a long-sleeve shirt and a

    ELVA'S POV I rushed back to the palace as fast as my feeble feet could carry me. When I got there, the maids rushed up to me. "Please, hurry and come with us, princess!" Nana said. She was one of the oldest maids we had in the palace, so kind and loyal as a person. But most times, she demonstrated fear toward Mother and Selena. I couldn't tell why. "What is going on, Nana?" I asked her. "A prince is on his way to the palace. You can't be presented like this," she said as she dragged me along. "Hold on, Nana. What do you mean by presented?" I asked. But just then, I caught sight of Selena dressed more elegant than I had ever seen her, strolling along the corridor like an angel in a garden of daisies. That was when I understood what Nana meant by "Presented." "Nana, if this is about dressing nice and..." "There's no time, my princess. As you can see, Princess Selena is already set," Nana said, pushing open the door to my room, with two Julie and Sarah, two other maids, right behi

  • Return Of The Lycan Queen   Chapter 15: The Orange Sun

    SELENA'S POV Prince Darian's handsomeness was beyond description. His eyes were blue and the intensity of his gaze was stomach-melting. He stood at 6 ft 7. The perfect height of a guy that matched my 6 ft 3. Whenever he mentioned my name, I felt I had been flung into an abyss of beautiful flowers and butterflies. I had seen him when he arrived, and although we had only spoken briefly, I was already head over heels in love with him. He was articulate with pronouncing my name, and I couldn't help but watch the motion of his lips as he did so. He had arrived weary after a long time on the road without rest during his journey, so he wanted to get a deep nap before coming out again in the evening for dinner. It was almost dinner time now, but I guessed he'd come out before that time to take a look outside. The castle structure gave a beautiful view in the evening. From upstairs, it seemed the orange sun sank into the earth whenever it was about to go home. Coupled with its fervid luster

    ELVA'S POVI had just woken up from sleep. The makeup I had worn since the afternoon soiled my whole pillow while I slept. It was a total mess now and I needed to wash it off. I yanked off the pillowcase from the pillow and dropped it on the floor. Then I went into the bathroom and washed the makeup off my face.I took the soiled pillow case, together with three other dirty clothes I had, and went off to meet my favorite maid, Nana, so she could help me wash them. To be honest, the materials used in making my clothes in the palace were very difficult to scrub. I don't know how Nana did it, but she always washed them sparkling clean. But one thing I never let her do was my innerwear. It didn't sit right with me. I had the dirty clothes in my hand, walking past the corridor. When I walked past the staircase that led to the top of the castle, I paused when I saw Selena descending the stairs with a handsome young man.I gazed at them for a split second and continued to where I was going b

    DARIAN'S POVWhen I told her that I wanted to place my palm on her bare chest, she freaked out."No, no, no. That's not happening," she said rashly."Trust me, Elva. If we do this and it doesn't work, you can report me to your father," I said to her."No. That's not assuring," she fretted. "Just tell me that you're not a pervert.""I'm not a pervert, I promise," I said to her."I can't believe this is happening," she said. She looked so nervous, battling with the decision to proceed or not. She really needed to know whether she was a werewolf or not, and I could sense it in her that she didn't want to forfeit the opportunity of figuring that out.The cottage was shady. No one would be able to make out what we were doing from afar. "Trust me," I said to Elva.After a few more minutes of deliberating over what action to take, Elva finally gave in."Please, I hope you're not trying to trick me," she said."I'm not," I said, watching her as she undid two buttons from her shirt, revealing

    SELENA'S POV"Have I been here all this while?" His question echoed in my head.Yes, of course. I had walked in on them hugging each other. How could he not choose me over that wolf-less girl who didn't even show any interest in him?Tears trickled down my cheeks as I stood there staring meanly at him."What is wrong, Selena?" He came close."Please, stop there," I barked.Since Elva came into the kingdom, she had been stealing everything from me. She stole the king's attention from me. She stole the maids' admiration from me. She stoked the tailor's praises from me. And now, she had stolen the man I was in love with."You and her... You're both terrible people!" I cried out, running into the castle.He didn't even make an attempt to stop me or chase after me.Two days later, Prince Darian was still in the castle. He was meant to have gone back home by now. I wondered what kept him still.“Beautiful Selena,” the king called me.“Yes, sir,” I answered, jolting out of my thoughts.We we

She had been in her room all this while. I heard she was worried sick about me and had slept off while complaining that I needed to stop having harsh training sessions.Lu ran into the dining room right after Mum had come in.“Who’s up for some night race?” Lu asked.“When I’m done eating,” Selena said.“I’m up too,” Prince Darian said. “Me too,” I joined in.Once again, all eyes gazed at me like something was off with my face, or rather with my voice this time.“I’m sorry you can’t join them. The physician has to come and take a look at you tonight,” Dad said.“But he can come when I’m back from racing,” I insisted, “

    ELVA’S POVPrince Darian and I held hands and he led the way. We strolled to the castle gate where the guards were. They were about ten guards and they looked like they all had been waiting for us to come.“Bring it,” Prince Darian said to the guards. Immediately, two of them turned around and hurried off to the guard house. I gazed at Darian with suspense, wondering if he had a surprise for me. I was curious about what he had told the guards to bring. But if it was a surprise, then I’d better not ruin it by asking what it was.Just then, the two guards who had hurriedly left to bring what Darian had ordered them to, returned pulling a cart with them. The cart had something on it. But whatever it was had been covered with a thick and long brown material.“Now, come over and see what I have for you,” Prince Darian said to me, pulling me gently by my hand.I tiptoed over to his side anxiously. What could it be? What could he want to show me?Immediately, Prince Darian pulled the thick b

I couldn't believe that I had been such a big fool who believed Nolan. I let him take such a big advantage on me.I heard noises like someone was fighting outside. I couldn't move, just sat there completely glued to the chair. My heart was pounding in my chest right now.The door suddenly burst open revealing Nolan. " You? What do you want?" I yelled at him.He didn't answer my question but just ran over to my side and untied me. " Let go of me, let go!"He gripped my hand tight. " We don't have much time and your stupid lover boy isn't here yet so I had to hurry back to get my men and save you," he explained.I didn't even have much strength. "Why isn't the wolfsbane affecting you?" He inquired." Because I'm a silver wolf," I answered him." Ohh," he trailed, nodding his head. " We better get going, I heard Haelstrom is unde

    DARIAN'S POVElva hasn't come down and it's been quite some time now but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her. It was driving me insane because the palace was getting all filled up with Elva nowhere to be seen.I couldn't take it anymore and ran up to her room hoping that she would be there. I arrived and didn't even see Elva there. Her dress was still on top of the bed so that means she didn't go far.I checked the bathroom and closet but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart was pounding wondering where the hell she could have gone. I knew that she was so nervous but I never expected her to run away just like that.I should have tried harder. I didn't comfort her well and now she's gone, it's entirely my fault that she's gone. It's all my fault.I tried not to jump to any conclusions thinking that she probably wouldn't have gone far. I wanted to tell my beta but decided to just make sure that I could find her before jumping to conclusions.I called her phone multiple times but sh

    ELVA's POVToday was D-day. I didn't feel any different rather I felt like nothing. I looked at my dress with different thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even know what to do or if I would ever be able to be a good Luna.I was sure that Darian didn't worry whether or not I was still with but it still troubled me daily and it's been very hard not to think about it. My body was somehow trying to correspond with my current situation.My face was filled with lots of unwritten expressions. I should have gotten ready but I couldn't bring myself to. I tried so hard not to give in to my thoughts but rather it was more disturbing to my mind, making my headache.I heard a knock on my door. I turned to go answer it. I opened it and saw Darian standing there looking charming as ever with such a handsome look. He was dressed in a normal black tuxedo and his head tied perfectly." You look charming," I complimented.He chuckled a bit and made a move to enter but I just blocked him. " This

    NOLAN'S POVThe thought of having to lose my position weakened me. I couldn't visualize myself not being the alpha, I had to find a way to get Elva back at least to trick the people even if it's just for a little while.I thought that maybe I could try to get to them by using the nice guy stuff on them. I even tried making a great deal with Darian but that annoying asshole didn't even give a shit or cared about it.I thought that he would succumb to it once I promised to break the bond but it didn't help one bit. Instead, it made him more adamant and brutal and bluntly refused right to my face.I had to think of something and I had to get on with a plan fast otherwise all this would be gone. I noticed someone present in the room, I looked up at him only to find out that it was just a guard. The last thing I needed right now was bad news." What do you want?"" Good afternoon alpha," he greeted. " You have a guest," he told me.I raised my head, wondering who the guest could be. I knew

    DARIAN'S POVI knew that the guy could never be nice. I knew that he was up to something which was definitely for his benefit. It was easy to grasp that this was just all of his plan and a way to make him let go of Elva so he could finally get what he's been longing for.I didn't know whether or not to tell Elva about it trying not to get her stressed out. We've only been back at his pack for a week now but a lot had been going on, I didn't want to stress her much, especially with the fact that her coronation was coming up.I shrugged off the thought and decided to go for a swim. I changed into just my boxers and jumped into the pool at once. It was just some kind of way for me to relax my body and let out all of my inner stress.Nolan could come ahead and fool anyone but he's most definitely not going to fool me because I could easily see right through his plan. It was more than clear that this was all of his motive and plan.I decided in my mind that I would try my best to make sure

I didn't mean to lash out at Fabian just like that in front of everyone but I had just had more than enough from him and wanted nothing more but to just put him back in his place.I heard a knock on my door. I immediately composed myself and had to clear my throat before attending to the person at the door."It's me, Logan," I heard him say.I heaved a big sigh and drastically opened the door with different emotions popping up in me. " What do you want?" I asked, not really in the mood to see him" I came here to see you," he replied.I further opened the door, giving him more access to my room. He entered my room. " Sit," I offered him a chair not far from the couch.He sat down on the chair looming around the room. I could easily tell that he was hesitant to talk probably because of how intimidating I was sometimes and now he's debating in his mind." Are you going to speak or should I chase you out?" I thr

Elva asked after I narrated the entire incident to her.I nodded in response and my eyes widened with shock. She tried eating something but right at the same time, no words came out of her mouth. She just kept quiet for a minute." So, what are your plans now?" She finally spoke up.I didn't even know whether or not I had a plan but something was for sure and it was making things more and more intense for me. My head was stuck with lots of mess." He just thinks that I'm not capable enough but I'll make sure to prove to him that it's beyond what he thinks," I said.She looked at me with a warm smile on her face as my beta came in with some sort of worried look on his face. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't any sort of trouble because I had to deal with more than enough."

He was finally gone and that empty feeling was back there in me once again, it was a feeling of pain and pure relief.My new wolf — Stephano wasn't a pain in the ass like Ruya and that was exactly what I liked about her. She may seem rude but rather she was lively and we got along well in such a way that even I couldn't describe it.I got off my feet and left the room deciding to go for a walk round the garden. I've been indoors for quite some time now and now I've subdued the fact that all I needed was just a little outing to get me going.I decided to let off the guards but they weren't too far off from me either. I just had to have them with me in case of anything and speaking of trouble, that was when I noticed Nolan not too far away.I made sure to stay at a safe distance where it would be easy to alarm the guards in case anything happened.

My heart was totally pierced right now with this new maud discovery wishing I had known earlier which was why I made her go as a spy to the palace.She told me that some maids got a clue of what she was doing and just what she was up to. I couldn't let anyone discover what we've been up to so I made sure that she found a way to get rid of them.I had always kept a good reputation and couldn't risk having Darian suspecting me otherwise that would just ruin my entire plan and she would be the cause of it.
