CONAN
"Don't worry. I'll take care of Slyvia. She won't be able to harm Amara, or anyone else for that matter" I said.
Of course, I didn't care about the other maids. I just don't want it to seem like I only care about Amara. I don't want Nancy to misunderstand Amara and start thinking too much or questioning her, I want to protect her, not get her in more trouble.
"Sir Conan....is there a particular reason you care so much about Amara? I know that it's not my place to ask this but ....."
"You don't need to know about this head maid. I just hope that you know what to say and what not to say from here on out" I said and walked away. I don't want to have to deal with this anymore.

ANITA
"Don't worry. I won't just shove a marriage down on him. I won't let him get married without letting him get to know his bride first. I intend to invite the woman that I have chosen to come to stay in the palace. While I train her on how to be a good baroness, she will work on her relationship with Conan. They won't feel like strangers when they get married" Anita said.Nolan wanted to argue. He really didn't think that this was a good time. Conan is not a person who likes being told what to do."But I really still don't think that this is a good idea. Conan doesn't like being told what to do. Why don't we just let him find his mate on his own terms? That will be so much better than what you're doing now" Nolan said.Anita snapped when she heard this. "I don't need you to tell me what I'm supp
AUTHOR"What is wrong with her? I think that she's tough and resolute! You are the baron and you're still believing those hearsay rumours? I really don't know what to say about her! Besides, what's wrong with a woman being a little tough? Don't you know that a woman will be taken advantage of if she isn't tough?" Anita asked. She didn't find anything wrong in Diana's actions.Nolan sighed in defeat. He should have known. Anita has the same traits as Diana. She definitely won't think that there's anything wrong with it."There's a difference between being tough and being mean! Diana is mean! She seems evil to me!" Nolan said."So tell me, what kind of woman do you want for Conan? Do you want a gentle and weak woman?" Anita asked.&nb
ROCKYI took a deep breath. I didn't want these maids to spread rumours about Amara. I don't mind people knowing about us but Amara definitely minds it."We are really just friends. I hope you know what you should say and what you should not say. Please don't go around spreading rumours about us" I said in an almost pleading tone.The maids looked at each other and smiled. Then they looked at and nodded thier head. I know that they got my message well and they definitely won't be spreading unsavory rumours. I smiled at them and walked away.......ROCKYMy original plan was to go see Amara first and find out what she's doing. But I passed by the north wing of the garden and I saw a
SLYVIA"Conan asked you to stay away from Amara before and you still the guts to spread rumours about her being pregnant and even ask her to get rid of her baby? I have to say . You're one brave maid who isn't even afraid of death!" Rocky said.I shivered when I heard that. I know that I'm not supposed to be afraid of this man because he is just a driver. A driver won't be able to hurt a man and get away with it freely.But there was a certain aura around him that just wasn't easy to ignore. He had the ability to wield control over a situation without doing anything. Just with the look in his eyes....he can take control of a situation.If it wasn't for the fact they he's a mere driver...I definitely would have been interested in a person like him.
SLYVIAI felt guilty. Even if I wanted to lie to myself and say that there's nothing going on now, I know that there's definitely something brewing. But how can I tell Nancy this?I looked at her eyes that seemed to be trying to look into my soul and I hardened my heart. I absolutely can't tell her about whatever is brewing between the both of us."There really is nothing Nancy. How did you come up with this conclusion?" I asked."Because Sir Conan came to me and asked me what Slyvia said to you. I reported the situation to the Baroness earlier in front of the council of elders. I did not exactly tell her what Slyvia said to you then but I could see that Conan wanted to know. The way he sat up when your name was mentioned, if you're not looking closely, you definitely won'
AMARAThe way he worried about me was really sexy. I just wanted to jump into his arms and have him comfort me. But I can't do that. I can't give my heart to him. I will only be left with scars when he's gone.I was reminded of how depressed Nancy looked in her room just now. I don't want to be like that, living my life in only a shell."I already said that it doesn't have anything to do with you! Besides, who was the one who complained about his Chambers in the first place? If you didn't complain, do you really think that she would have found a way to use it against me? Stop pretending as if you're the good person!" I snapped. I need to push him as far away as possible.As long as he doesn't keep showing up in front of me, I'll be able to get rid of the feelings I have fo
CONANI entered my room and was shocked to see my sister waiting for me. What is she doing here?"Where have you been Conan? I've been waiting for over an hour" Anita said.I swallowed a gulp. She can't know that I've been seeing Amara right?I won't put it pass my sister. There's nothing that she doesn't know about in the palace."It's been a long day for me. I was just walking around the palace for fresh air. Why? Is there a reason you were looking for me?" I asked.Anita was still staring intently at me. I think she was trying to figure out what I am thinking. But of course there's no way I'd give her that chance. Since I've decided to stay away from Amara, I should not bring more trouble to her."You've had a long da
AUTHOR You're thinking about why you did it right? You are thinking that you should have just left when you had the chance right? I'm sure that you know the answer deep down inside of you. You know it. But you don't want to accept it. You're still in love with me! It's all useless bow but you've never stopped loving me. Don't try to run away from it!" Nolan said. Nancy rolled her eyes. He was on point, but she didn't want to admit because there's no need to do that now. He already chose someone else. "You already chose someone else back then. What's the use of trying to analyze my feelings for you?" Nancy asked. "It's because you are trying so hard to pretend that you don't feel anything for me. You know that it's a lie. You've stayed here as a maid for so long because this gives you the opportunity to see me. Even though it's painful, you still want to see me so you're willing to suffer through the pain" Nolan said. He seemed to be trying to convince himself of Nancy's love.
AUTHOR'S POVTears streamed down Anita's eyes. Even when her mother died, she didn't cry. Aiden wasn't supposed to die. People up were surprised to see her bawling her eyes out. It seemed like it was in a movie.Magnus watched as Anita became despondent and it caused him to wonder what sort of relationship was between them.Without ni further ado, he signalled to the other guard, and she was also taken to the podium."As it stands now, it is time to receive your punishment." Magnus announced happily. This has gone on for the longest time and it was finally time to see her end." Can I say something?" Anita piped up. Her voice ringing over the pack. Curiosity filled the eyes of the listeners.Magnus considered her statement. He could bet that she was about to come up with something probably insane and wanted to buy sympathy. Also
AUTHOR'S POV "Well that's what everyone who has something to say, says." Aiden said. " This is not the way I envisaged my life to be." She said. "Well, most of us didn't envisage that our lives will turn out the way it did." He replied, watching her and she bowed her head. "Can you be honest with me?" Anita asked." Let's hear it." He said, and went to shut the windows." You still haven't spoken about the real reason I am here." She said, because she was surprised to see him fussing over her." I have made myself explicitly clear." He said, starting at her weirdly." Well, where have you been since?";She asked. She had never seen him before in his life." Do you want me to tell you the real reason?" He asked." I would like that." she said, really interested, for she was at wits end." I have loved you for a very long time. I just didn't think that there would be a need to see you because you were married. However, now that I know that you're fair game, I promise I can't let you
AUTHOR'S POV Looking up reluctantly at the guard, " What happened?" Conan asked. He was getting a little bit frustrated because whenever things were getting good, something always came upthat will jeopardize the pack or he and Amara's relationship.The guard looked at the Conan, not knowing how to break the news to him.Now, Conan was beginning to get very pissed. This boy just came here to interrupt him. " Yes?" He asked." There has been a breach in security and rogues have infiltrated the land. A lot of lands were set on fire, and almost to the hospital.""So, what did you guys do?" Conan asked. It was their job to deal with the rogues. " I rushed to tell you sir. He replied. " How many lives were lost?" He inquired." None. We managed to put off the fire before it escalated." " Okay, I'll be there in few minutes." Conan replied and rushed towards Amara's room. He didn't want to be caught unaware. This must be Anita's handiwork. He rushed down to Amara's room." Hey, there w
AUTHOR'S POV The men barely spoke a word to Anita, and it pissed her off. For someone who wanted her to be his wife, he was doing an awful job at connecting with his spouse. Not like she wanted to marry him or anything. She just felt that he she would be able to use him and get away with it like other men in the past." Where are we going?" She asked Aiden. He turned towards her, while the driver watched through the rearview mirror. "To my house." Confusion fitted on her face and she stared at the boy in front of her. " Where might this be?" She inquired. " You'll know when we arrive." He replied turning to the front. The car was thrown into silence and she sought for a way to leave the car. Aiden seemed a bit crazy and she couldn't stomach any craziness from anybody. " Will any one speak? What is really going on?" She asked from the back. Unbeknownst to them, she was with a spoon which she sharpened against a stone when she went to pee in the bush. She could slice their necks o
AUTHOR'S POV " You are selfish, and wicked." Celia said and Damini kept staring at her, wondering what kind of effontery she had to speak to him in that manner. A lot of people will never dare to do what she did. Well, that was one of the reasons why the moon goddess chose her for him. He was grateful for her spitfireattitude. She didn't take nonsense from anybody no matter who the person was and what position the person occupied, and that was a very good characteristic of a Luna. The heart of the pack. A lot of people underestimated the Luna. They didn't know that they were equally as strong as the alpha.She wanted to say a lot but held he tongue. Instead, she exited the room with her head held up high. She would not plead with him about this issue again.Damini could not sleep that night. He tried to drown himself in work, yet it didn't suffice. He knew that he hurt his mate. He was not a bastard. One of the major things they were taught right from childhood was to cherish their
AUTHOR'S POV There was no where that Magnus' guard didn't comb when they were looking for Anita, and Magnus was very furious when they didn't catch her." Who is not here?" He asked and the guards looked at one another in confusion." Which guard is missing?" He repeated, and there was a silence. He didn't mind wasting anybody who decided to be a nuisance to the pack and an accomplice to Anita and all of her evils.The guards continued looking at one another, and he called for an emergency meeting."Call all the guards for me." He said.The guards got assembled after 20 minutes, and he counted each and every one of them.Aiden was missing!"Now I need anybody to tell me the truth, who saw him when he was leaving?!" he asked very angrily. The guards stared at one another, and he slammed his fist up on a table they were trying to take him for a fool. What insolence?How did he manage to leave under their watch? what were they watching? That meant that they were not even watching when
AUTHOR'S POV " What is your name?" Anita said when they crossed the border, she was baffled at the ease in which they used to get out of the Magnus' pack. " We need to get to our destination first." He replied, and her eyes widened in surprise, oh really? She thought. A car drove towards them, and they quickly entered. This was fast. Both men spoke in Italian, and she became suspicious. "What are the both of you talking about?" She asked, didn't they know that it was rude to speak in a language that the other person didn't understand?The men turned towards her as if just noticing her presence." We were speaking about how to leave this place." He replied, as the other man watched our interaction. " English would have sufficed." Anita said, and they stared at moronically. " We have to leave now." The guard told the man and they rushed off. "Where are we going to?" Anita asked, the silence was deafening and the boy in front of her was not saying anything. The routes they took wa
"What the hell?" Amara thought inwardly. Things wee moving from bad to worse and was getting really annoying. " What do you mean by that?" She asked, and he smiled again, yet creepily this time. " You are mine. Ever since I laid my eyes on you." He replied with so much emotion in his eyes. " Really?" She replied. There was no other explanation save that this man was crazy, but he didn't know it. " Where am I?" She inquired, at least if she had an idea of where she was, it would be easier for her to escape. " That's not for you to know. We are getting married soon." He replied with confidence, and she rolled her eyes. He was full on delusional. Now she could see it." I have a mate." She replied, two in fact but she kept the latter information to herself." That's none of my business. You are the one for me." She replied, and Amara stared at him. " You need to eat something." He said bringing a spoonful of food close to her. Yuck! It was the same spoon he put in his mouth earlier
AUTHOR'S POV " Wake up." Magnus shouted and Anita woke up immediately, not expecting him to take that tone with her. " What?" She asked, she felt a headache. " It's time to eat." She had not eaten since last night and that caused her to be very weak. Did he not have work to do?" And you woke me up in thus manner?" She asked. " Your royal highness, I'm sorry that I didn't serve it on a gold platter." He replied dryly. " Thank you." She replied, as he passed the food under the door to her. She was being treated like a prisoner, a dog." How are you feeling?" He inquired, once she is well, the next thing is to appear before the council. She squinted at him, " My leg still hurts." She replied, and he clicked his tongue. He didn't believe her. Watching her through the cell gates, he noticed her countenance. She was wearing that contrite expression again which didn't fool him, try as she might. If there is anyone that he was afraid of, it was Anita. She had a way of making sure that
