Evie stormed to the throne room and thankfully her parents were seated there, talking about the same war."Evie?""A war?" Evie asked. "Why go to war now?" She was sure everything was fine a few days ago. Her father had made sure to stay away from his clan and any boundary whatsoever. She didn't like that they were going to go to war again."Mother, can you debrief me on this, please?" Her mother didn't look any happy at all.She looked devastated by the news."Not now, Princess." The Queen mumbled, following up on the news she had heard."But Mom, you should know that I'm old enough to know about the Kingdom's affair. Most importantly, about a war looming up." She didn't back down like her mother wanted her to, but instead pushed it further. "Go to your room. I'll send some items to you and your friends." Her mother dismissed her with a wave of her hand.Evie couldn't sit back and do anything. She had never been curious about wars before, but this was the first time, and like they s
"He's my mate." She said again, waiting for her parents to process what they had just heard."We don't understand what you're talking about, Evie. Are you saying that Ethan is your mate?" Her mother asked again."Not Ethan, Mom. Alpha Ronan." She replied, her eyes went damp with tears. She surely didn't like the look in her mother's eyes.The woman wasn't happy at all and she didn't like the fact that no one was saying a word."Mother? Father?" She called.Her mother laughed. "I'm sure you're wrong, baby. I would have caught on that if it were true. I have a strong sense of judgment, sweetie." Her mother waved her off like it wasn't something they had to talk about."This isn't some judgemental case, Mom. He's my mate, and we met that day in the female bathroom. He's my mate, we both felt it... that's why he left early that day." She explained."I don't understand this, Evie. Why didn't you tell us about this then? Why did you keep it within yourself? Does anyone know about this?" He
The fight was becoming more fierce than he had ever wanted.He would have stopped but then the stupid king had to bring in more troops and that had taken a lot of men from his side.He had to fight back, he wouldn't want to be called weak.Alpha Ronan stood in front of his armies. His huge mighty men of valor. Men that had been through all principalities and hardships of the world.Men that had conquered the world by his side. His thoughts drifted to the ball that was held days ago.The little princess was dancing with someone else..her friend perhaps.He couldn't help but wonder why the moon goddess, out of everyone in the world, would give him something so weak, fragile, and a daughter of his one and only enemy.He wasn't going to end this fight till the stupid king called a truce. He was one step away from breaking through the gates and claiming the whole Kingdom as his."Your Majesty." He looked up, eyes dark and brows creased. He waited patiently for the news."They've sent men.
Evie's day was going perfectly well. She had just finished painting and her whole body was covered in paint, not that she would have minded if it were her folly that got the paint there... but no, standing beside her was her best friend who had begun to make a mess out of everything."I painted a dog. Look at this beautiful painting and tell me about its origin..""I think it originated from the forest at the West border." Ethan shook his head. "That looks like a buffalo when wet. Appreciate the artwork and do not use it to play around." He cautioned."Well, I'm sorry, Daddy. I didn't mean to, besides... What the hell are you drawing?" Gwen burst into laughter."Well, that is what I call a crying dolphin and it's missing eggs," Evie said, taking a peak at the other board."What do you even know about art? Do you think everyone who paints is an artist?" Ethan huffed, dipping his brush and coloring his perfection."No, I don't think so. But what do you call them? Artisan?" Evie asked wi
Evie was thrilled.When her father disclosed the reason, her mate had stopped the war..she was really happy.Was this the reason he had begun the war at all? All he had to do was send a letter that he wanted her as his mate and she would have run down there even if her parents never wanted her to.She bit her lips and smiled when she walked out of the palace rooms."Hey." Gwendolyn was the first to approach."Are you okay? Was he badly hurt?" She asked."Father was hurt, but it's not deep. It's just a flesh wound, and by the way..it wasn't intentional." Evie couldn't help the smile that formed on her lips."It seems like something happened; do tell." Gwendolyn smiled as well, pushing closer to her friend, who had taken a seat on the bench.Maids had begun to clean the floor they had littered with paints."Where's Ethan?" Evie asked, looking around."Here he is. Do you mind adding a little salt to that? It's going to clean with ease." Ethan walked back to the fountain with a little sal
The journey to the other clan was too exciting for Evie.She would peek out of the carriage, giggling at the thought of being a Luna.There was this feeling of happiness that would flutter in her stomach each time she thought of her mate."Do you have some sweets there?" She asked, gesturing for her maid that was sitting with the Coachman to come into the carriage."Sweets, your Majesty?" The maid asked and she nodded."You're not supposed to take sweets, Your Majesty. You have to keep fit till you see the King." "I will see him either way. Do you have some, Junping?" She asked, and the maid nodded, pulling out two sweets from her hair."Ha! Brilliant." Evie clapped her hands, collecting one from the maid who had begun to munch on hers.Earlier before she had begun her journey, her mother had confiscated everything she had hidden in her dress. Examples were; apples, berries, and sweets, lots of sweets."To be a Luna of the Blue Moon Clan, then you have to have a fitted body, Your Maj
When he had said "Chambers' she was thrilled and excited to see her room. Surely everything in the Blue Moon Clan was just too beautiful and pleasant to both the nose, eyes, and ears."Where are we headed?" She asked again for the umpteenth time but got no reply.Just as she reached forward to grab the maid's hand, a door opened by the side, and the maid stepped back."Here's your room, Your Majesty." He said.Evie smiled and mumbled a word of thank you before walking in.She turned back to properly thank the maid only to realize that the maid was gone, and the door was locked from outside the room.She had never expected that from the very same person that had requested her presence.Evie frowned, taking a seat on one of the chairs in the room.The room was beautiful no doubt, but why was she locked in here? Had the maid confused her as someone else?She opened the Windows of the palace, and the frown dissipated when she realized that she could see the city from the palace.She could
When Evie was sent back to her room, she expected something better than just a few insults.She knew she had disobeyed his order, but he had pushed her hands to do so.She was sent by her father for her people to come mate with him, not to turn into rats in a room all alone.She had barely seen her maids, and the worst thing was that she didn't even know her way around.Rubbing her palms together to stop the cold, she pushed herself closer to the end of the bed to end the cold, but that didn't stop anything.The door creaked open and she looked up, a frown on her face, her fist clenched..ready to make whoever opened that door regret it... only to be met with that of her supposed husband.He stood there, staring at her like she was some statue.She looked away, anger rising in her throat. The heat emitted from her cold body as she looked out the window."Are you cold?" He asked.She said nothing, didn't even move. If one hadn't seen her there, they would think their Alpha had gone craz
The King sat on the rock close to the garden.He was picking up pebbles and throwing them into the little river that ran along the flowers and leaves.He looked up, and Morak was coming down the stairs."Isn't it a bit odd to see the King of the Blue Moon Clan throwing pebbles into the river?" Morak asked as he descended down the stairs and stood by the rock where the King sat.The King of the Blue Moon Clan looked up, brows creased in confusion and palms clenched. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.He badly wanted to let it all out, but he couldn't say a thing."Is it about the Princess?" Morak guessed, and the King's eyes snapped back to him instantly."How did you know?" He scoffed and stood up, shaking his head in the process."She's well mannered, she's a beauty, and she dresses smart. Do you think it's normal for me to...." He sighed again.."You know for me to..." The King chuckled, like it was too hard for him to say. And it definitely was."You know for me to j
The King moved swiftly, grabbing her hand and pushing her back without touching his own sword.His sword was still sheathed and was stuck into the ground next to him.Alpha Ronan had decided to show the Princess of the Crystal Clan what it took to beat him, the King of the Blue Moon Clan.He chuckled when she groaned and came forward again.He shook his head. "Keep moving like that, and you're going to die. Patience is a virtue, Princess." He said and she rolled her eyes.Evie dropped her sword as well, her hands laid flat on the ground as he pushed her back again.The King was like an immovable rock.She looked around, and Lady Quinn and Lady Salvatore were hailing her to keep the good work going.She ran quickly once again, pressing her knee on the wet field. She grabbed the King's leg and pulled him down.Alpha Ronan, with deep interest, was going to see what the Princess of Crystal Clan could do.He was thrilled at first when Morak had told him how good she was at fighting, and he
The meadow was beautiful, like Evie had imagined it to be. She assembled the arrows and then the swords she had brought for the six of them.It was nice seeing that they were all in the huge meadow, all together to shoot and learn how to do that.She had never thought the Lord would tag along, and she was happy he did."Are you sure it's the same? I don't think it is." Lady Quinn said, picking up the dry meat to drop it on the plates she had begun to arrange."Really? I actually thought it was the same thing." Evie said, scrunching up her nose in disgust as she watched the Lady Quinn drop another piece of meat into the fry pan.The meadow visit had somehow turned into a picnic, a big picnic she was enjoying.She kept shuffling through the bags she had dropped, only for something to fall down. When she bent to pick it, big, huge hands had already picked it up from the ground, and she turned around to see the King pocketing the item in his garments."Is it yours?" She squinted her eyes
When they got to the dungeon, the woman was tied to a pillar that stood tall in the middle of the dungeon where she was kept.Evie scrunched her nose due to the stench that came from everywhere.'God! How was the woman perceiving all these?' She wondered."Wake her up." Alpha Ronan ordered, and a bucket of water was poured on the woman, snapping her out of sleep..She gasped, looking around as her breath increased knowing, she was captured."Who sent you? Let's not beat around the bush.. I'd like to end this quickly." He said, picking up a rod that Evie had not seen.It was at the bottom of the table, close to where the woman's feet were kept.Was he really going to..."Hmm?" The King hummed, looking at the rod like it was something interesting. Well, for him it was."Who sent you? I won't be merciful again and ask you that. Better spill what you know." He clicked his tongue.The woman said nothing, probably wanting to see what the King of the Blue Moon Clan could possibly do.Thud! T
Evie unsheathed her sword, and blocked another arrow that was coming her way.. she did the same thing all over again.Morak grabbed his bow and shot three arrows at the same time towards where the arrows were coming from. The shooting ceased, and Evie used that time to run towards the middle of the woods. She grabbed a branch and jumped on another branch."Be careful, Princess." She heard Morak's voice yell."Hello there." Another voice came from above her.Evie pushed the branch, stretching her leg and kicking the woman that was on the branch."Too slow." The woman whispered and kicked the branch where Evie was standing, and she fell..not after grabbing the other branch and bringing the woman with her.When they landed on the ground, Evie smiled when the woman stood up as well, clenching her fist.Her sword had fallen far off, and thankfully, the woman had no sword and bow to shoot. So they would have to fight with their hands.She caught the assassin's hand and blocked effortlessly.
The next day, being a free bird was the best thing ever. Evie was getting closer to everyone in the palace.Evie picked up the chess piece. Every chess piece meant one thing, and she was willing to find out what it was.Just like the chess piece, the files given to her by the King were a hidden piece she had to find.She placed the files on the table, and picking up the ink, she began to fill in the spaces.She could do it. She could show the King that a woman could do anything and everything a man could."Are you still hellbent on proving the King wrong, Your Highness?" She nodded, smiling as she arranged the files once again.She picked up the files concerning the man who murdered his wives and children most cruelly, and then another film about a drunkard who had his way with a girl and killed her."Why are all these files completed even though it was just a week ago?" She asked."Because it was completed? They don't keep uncompleted files in the drawer if they aren't completed. Mil
Alpha Ronan stood in the middle of the market. His hands were placed by his side.He was still wondering how, and why he was there, but when he looked up, to see the woman who had dragged him there..a little smile broke out on his lips.She was moving from one shop to another, picking up little things and eating them.Unlike what he expected. That his people would hate her for being the Princess of the Crystal Clan. A clan that wanted nothing but our demise, but they were smiling at the Princess of that Clan, and they were giving her fruits and meat for free."Thank you." She waved at the older woman, putting the tied meat into her small bag and rushing to the Lord. Alpha Ronan had thought it was time to leave and that they would be going back to the palace. But he was wrong, she handed the bag to him and took off with another bag.The things she was collecting were items that the palace threw away on a daily basis.'What kind of woman was this?' He wondered."Are you okay, Your Majes
Evie was a free bird, and no one knew how happy she was. She was sure even the Moon Goddess would not be able to recognize her again. Her cheek was the same, but of different colors.She covered her cheek... as she came down the hallway with Junping strutting down with her."Your Highness." The maids bowed, and she nodded.They walked to the garden, her favorite place where she could sit and have her peace.The weather was beautiful, and she was happy."Excuse me?" The voice made her look up, and she looked to see a handsome gentleman taking a seat at the other end of the garden."Your..""Princess Evie of the Crystal Clan." Evie completed, and the man nodded in understanding."My name is Prince Gordon of Night-rose." He said.Evie nodded, wondering why she had never heard of the town with that name."I'm sure you haven't seen such a name before, Your Highness." The man she had come to know as Arthur walked to them and bowed."Morak," Evie called."Yes, Your loveliness. Is there anyth
When Evie walked back to the room, the door was closed shut, and she looked back to see the King behind the door.Were they playing Cat and Mouse now?"Your Majesty. Is there something I can do for you?" She asked with the best smile she could form."Your maid will be here soon, I want you to have dinner with me." He said, and took off his coat... placing it on the chair where he had been sitting before she left the room."My maid? And why will I have dinner with you?" Evie asked.The man, for once, was acting mature, and she couldn't help but smile at the change of character."Because I want you to. Can we stop talking about this?" He stopped glaring and walked to the table to take a seat.Evie walked to the chair and took a seat.Unlike her, her body was becoming weaker than usual, and she didn't like it.She was a powerful girl right from birth, and although she was spoiled by her parents, she had grown up fine."Are you okay?" He asked, noticing the way she walked. Alpha Ronan had
