I washed my hands and finally rinsed my mouth with clean water. I left the room without saying anything to Alex and returned back to the room I always stayed in. I was confused. Why did I feel so bad that I had to puke? What was happening to me?I could feel my head spinning round until I fell down on the bed, weak and exhausted. I was feeling restless until I laid on the window. I felt like throwing up again but managed to stop myself.The door was pushed open and Henry walked into the room and found me in that condition. He became bothered about my health condition and he sat near me after I told him I wasn't feeling okay."What's wrong? Does it have anything to do with what you ate?"I shook my head. "I haven't eaten this morning so I don't think it has to do with that. I'm just confused because I don't fall sick always.""What's wrong then?" "I don't know, I just feel weak, exhausted and tired. I don't know what to think again."He patted my back and placed a gentle kiss on my fo
I just knew Princess Kieran sent them. She was the one who could do something terrible to me.Before I could do something, a huge blow from one of the muscular guys sent me on the floor and everywhere became pitch black.I stirred uncomfortably, and realised I had rolled over onto my stomach. Still half asleep, I groaned as I felt the stiffness of a troubled night settle into my bones, and shooting pains run from my neck to the bottom of my spine. As I came to my senses, I realised it was still pitch dark. But wait, it wasn't night, was it?That wasn't all, though. The pain and stiffness in my spine wasn't just from sleeping. There was a figure sitting on top of me, straddling my thighs so that I could not move, and fear gripped my throat. As soon as I tried to turn my head to scream, a hand tightened in my hair and shoved my face into the pillow, hard enough to stifle my voice and restrict my breathing. I couldn't breathe, I was dying.I bucked, scrabbling as I tried to twist my arm

Few hours later, Alex had already prepared to leave and King Raymond had given him some jewelries and water to take care of himself. I just hoped I could trust him even though he had proven to be loyal. I just felt someone was going to betray me again and I didn't know who.It was just devasting that I was paying for my father's sins when I didn't even know him. And these people refuse to accept the fact that I'm innocent. They all feel like I'm a threat and that's why they're trying to get rid of me. We all left the hall and went back to the slaves quarters. I didn't know who to trust but I just knew Henry was always there for me and he would protect me. I was also happy he found someone else to fall in love with. "Missing your mate again?" A familiar voice asked from behind me, bringing me back to reality. It was King Raymond's voice. I stopped and turned back at him, bowing my head like a slave.He was surprised by my new behavior, "When did you learn to do that? Have you finally
"Do you know about any council?" I asked Henry as soon as I got back into the room.I reckoned he wasn't going to know but I decided to ask anyway. It wasn't a bad idea to ask him.He shook his head and stared at me suspiciously. "No, I don't know what you mean by that. What happened? You're having a kind of scared and curious expression on your face."I explained everything that happened in Princess Kieran's room and he was surprised to find out that I confronted her and King Raymond couldn't do anything about it."I'm really confused."His eyes were still wide-open. "Really? Hailey, you took a very risk talking back at the Princess and confronting her. You're only putting a wide target on your back and they are going to come for you." He told me.I knew that but I just couldn't resist the opportunity to lash out at her and confront her for always trying to get rid of me when she couldn't do it herself."I was pissed off at that moment and I didn't know what I was doing. Gosh, what w
He made me lie down on his bed with the fear that he was probably going to do something nasty to me in the midnight. I was battling it hard not to sleep but my eyes were closing each time I tried to keep it open.He covered me with the bedspread so I wouldn't feel cold and laid on the bed. He was such a snake, how could he change characters so easily? And why was he trying to be so nice to me? He was such a pretender.As I thought about him, I fell into the desperate arms of sleep. It certainly didn't feel like I had slept for five minutes because I woke up because of the alarm clock near me. As soon as my eyes opened, I didn't make the mistake of closing them again. I sat up and found a tray with Green tea.Was he trying to poison me like he did to Blake? I wasn't going to fall his for his extra kindness because I knew he was just doing this so he doesn't get himself into trouble. Princess Kieran had messed things up for him so he was trying to correct it.I wondered what to do with
Surprisingly, Princess Kieran called me into her room with a smile on her face that appeared forced. I was going to pretend along with her so she wouldn't know anything. "Hope you slept well last night?"I was taken back by her question as I stared at her in shock. I definitely wasn't expecting that. Nodding, I murmured, "I did,"She giggled excitedly. "Yeah, I was the one who suggested to my brother to make you stay in his room last night. I'm also sorry for yesterday, I shouldn't have sent my guards to do that to you."I didn't even know she could apologize to me. It felt great knowing that they were all afraid something terrible was going to happen to them. They've been wicked to me and they deserved to pay for everything."I'm not angry with anyone, ma'am."She was restless as she caressed her pillow and stared at me, she looked worried. "Is there anything you want? I could ask the guards to get it for you." I shook my head, I didn't need anything from an evil wolf, I would nev
The guards took me into the cell and left me there for more than two days. They obviously wanted to kill me before the Council arrived. Princess Kieran had also threatened to drag me along with them if they were going down.Two days in that cell wasn't easy, Henry and Nessa tried many times to visit me but they were stopped by the guards and weren't allowed into the cell.On the third day, I had begin to give up and feel weak. They didn't feed me more three days and I felt so exhausted and sick. I was sure my face looked pale at that particular moment. I begged for water from one of the guards and they wouldn't even give me. I didn't know what to do again, I felt heartbroken and dead. I had began to lose hope that someone would ever saved me.Flashbacks of my life before I got into this whole experience began to hit me and I felt like crying. This was probably my last day on Earth but I just couldn't imagine leaving Blake alone. The more I tried to believe he would save me, the more
