We had already left the place and began walking back to the house. Jasper cracked a lot of jokes that made everyone laugh except Ashley... She was rude most of the time and ranted about how she don't find his jokes interesting and found it offensive instead.It was a long walk and we finally got back into the house. I made sure the Gem was still in my back and I knew I had to make sure it was safe. I still didn't trust half of these people. They could turn on me at anytime and I was trying to prevent that."So you're supposed to be the rightful Queen?" Ashley asked me.I was surprised she was engaging me in a conversation and I knew it would end with her mocking me but I wasn't worried.I nodded. "Yes, I should be the Queen because my father was the King before they brutally conspired and murdered him.""That's great, I love seeing women succeed. I'm part of the women supporting women agenda." She replied.Now, that was a joke. She wasn't even supporting me, I doubt she has ever supp
After I was released, I took a deep breath of relief and went in search for Henry. Fortunately, I found Henry in our room and a huge smile appeared on my face. He was so happy to see me, he ran to hug me, also smiling.Tears were both in our eyes as we hugged each other. "I've missed you so much, I'm really surprised to see you back." He said.We both sat on the bed while I stared at him in admiration, he had always been the one supporting me right from my start. "Thank you for helping me that day, I knew I couldn't do it without you. I'm so grateful for your help and support."He winked at me. "I'll do anything for you. I'm just surprised to see you back here. Most girls would have ran away and left Blake to die but you didn't. You just really love him so much."I nodded. He was right, I just couldn't see myself leaving Blake to die when he had been the one protecting me since. If he had not protected me, they would have killed me from the start. "You're right Henry but I just could
"Funny enough, I'm not here to smile with you and I won't be distracted by that." I scoffed.He looked at me in a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?" He sounded like he had just experienced the shock of his life."Don't play jokes with me. Firstly, who agreed on letting you stay here? We never even had a conversation that you'll stay at the palace for a week. Secondly, why did you suggest that?"His lips formed a fake smile. "Don't you think the questions are way too much for me to answer.""Alex, I'm not playing jokes with you."He licked his lips, flirtatious and sat up a little bit. "Alright, so I thought we could still be together if we're closer to each other. I didn't want to leave you and besides, I belong here and I'm a wolf.""You should go back to your work and we're never going to be close to each other. Get that off your mind." I told him, angrily.He frowned. "Don't you sound a little bit selfish by making that statement? Have you forgotten that I'm a a wolf and shoul
Now I was back in my room and it was time to grade these guys. I started with Henry, he's a sweetheart and even though I don't feel that connection, he was still one of my favourite people.Alex probably liked me just to have sex with me, I wasn't really sure about that yet but I feel he's probably just teasing me and making me fall in love with him more. I loved Alex so much and I was trying to control my emotions even if it made me look like a fool.Blake was the best. We might have started off badly but he was the one I lived for. I never believed I would fall in love with someone until I fell in love with him. He was the star that made me shine and I would always loved him."Hailey, I've been calling your name for a long time now and you didn't even notice." Henry's voice brought me back to reality. I didn't even notice when he came in and close the door, I was so lost in my thoughts.
After having breakfast, I went to the field with the other slaves and cleared the grasses. I found Alex staring at me from the terrace and a huge smile grew on my face. "You seem a little bit interested in Alex." Henry whispered to me and I nodded."Yeah, it's like I'm in love with Blake and Alex and this is definitely not good for me, I don't want to be in a love triangle with any man.""I have an advice for you. Why don't you confess your feelings to Alex and see what happens? It's not necessary you both date but since you have that connection, it honestly doesn't look like a bad advice."I shook my head at the thought of his advice. Telling Alex about my feelings would ruin everything. "I don't think that would work."Henry stopped what he was doing for a while and stared at me. "I met Alex today and he is a gentleman, he's also very handsome. We got into a conversation and he talked about how much he liked you but you weren't in love with him. He feels jealous each time you talk
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
