They looked at each other and Amara jumped down from his body, as she adjusted her dress.
They looked at the door warily.
" Come in." Conan said.
Roman came in. "Another maid says she's assigned here." He informed them wondering why Amara had been in there for long if it were only a drink she wanted to serve.
Conan was tying a towel and Amara looked away. She looked guilty. Wasn't he betrothed to Diana?
"Tell her to go back, I changed the roster.." Conan instructed.
Roman didn't believe the bull. But, he nodded anyway, taking a second look at Amara before leaving the room.
Amara felt weird. After coming down from the high of the kiss. She saw the disbelief in Roman's eyes. He thought she betrayed Diana.
"What do we do now?" She asked Conan.
Conan was surprised, he didn't care what the guard th
CONANFor two weeks, things had been going on well between Amara and I. I had just concluded a meeting, with Nolan. I sneaked to see him, disguising as a guard.Diana intercepted me on my way to my room. The witch knew I paid her no mind at all.She must have been waiting for long.Ever since that stunt she pulled the other day, I didn't want anything to do with her." Good evening, Conan." She greeted." What do you have to say?" I asked." That's quite harsh to say to your betrothed." She said." Wow, that's such a shame." I replied." I know you've been going to see Amara." She said.That made me stiffen a little. I called her bluff." I find it hard to believe that you've not reported me to the Baroness. How generous of you." I said. That's what she was known for." That's because I want to make a proposition." She said. " Let's hear it." I said." I need you to marry me in paper and have Amara as your concubine." She said.I doubled in laughter. She was a clown. Marry her? She
AUTHORIt was after 6 months, that Nancy was finally able to sneak in to see Nolan. She was able to do that with the help of Micheal, the guard that loved Amara. He distracted the other guards, and this gave her the opportunity to enter.When she arrived at Nolan's cell, she almost wept. He had become a shadow of himself.His beards had started growing rapidly, filling his face. There was a crazy look in his eyes.She sincerely hoped her worst fear had not become a reality." How are you doing Nolan?" She asked skipping all formalities.Nolan cocked his head and stared at her." I'm great." His voice gruff from atrophy." I sent you a letter." She continued. He looked as of he wasn't seeing her.*'May he not be going senile.'* She prayed with everything she had." Yes." He said after a while. Why was he taking time to respond."So..." She trailed off. He stared at her blankly." You promised to tell me Anita's secrets." She whisper yelled, cautious of eavesdroppers." Did I?" He ask
Anita looked angry. " Where is my necklace?" She asked.Amara feigned innocence, " I don't know where it is ma'am." She answered." You cleaned the room last, how come it disappeared?" Anita asked furious at Amara's attempt at lying. That necklace was very important to her. She kept it in Conan's room, because she knew it was safer there. " Don't test me." She threatened. Meanwhile, Amara wondered why she was just looking for this necklace now.Something must be important about it, and she intended to discover it." I'm truly not a thief ma." She cried bring out the great waterworks.Anita wasn't a sucker for tears. It was a destructive weapon. Many liars employed this tactic." Take her to the dungeon." Anita ordered." I'm sorry, your highness, why don't you inspect the room again?" " Are you saying that they were lying?" Anita wondered."Please check again." Diana pleaded. " Go back and check." Anita ordered the guards, waiting for it to be a mode of distraction. She was so go
AMARAI snuck to see Roman, his wounds needed to be tended to. He was really brave to endure the beating. If it were another, he'd have broken." Hi, Roman." I whispered, watching as he groaned when he attempted to sit upright." Amara." He whispered." I'm sorry about this." I apologize. " How did you manage to come here?" He asked." Micheal." I pointed the lamp in his direction, and unlocked the door. I washed the wounds with antiseptic, he groaned at the impact.I could only imagine the pain he was going through.I moved on to rub the balm on his back.The healer took a liking to Sylvia, and since then, she had been helping us. She helped Nolan get better too.He groaned, loudly. I stopped as I heard a footstep approaching. I switched off the lamp.Micheal said he has distracted everyone. It was dark. My heart panted. If I was caught, it would be brutal.Anita would do worse than what happened to Roman.This was big trouble. Shockingly, it was Conan. I heaved a sigh of relief."
AUTHORThe room was brown walled, no too much decoration, very simple. It had a soothing aura. Diana supposed it was either because she was here for the first time, or because it was a healer's house.There were too many bottles in the room, and Diana wondered the use of all of them.From where she sat, her eyes caught a shiny object wedged between the door.Curiosity led her towards it. Behold, it was a chain, emitting heat.'How is that even possible?' She reached for it, and it moved.She reached for it again, and it moved. Her hands almost touched it, and it slid under the door. That was weird.She reached for it the third time and it wedged itself in between the crack in the door."Good morning your highness." The healer.Her back stiffened. A blush formed on her face, as she stood up awkwardly." Morning." She replied. The healer's face betrayed no emotion.But she felt that she was laughing at her." I have a complain." Diana started.Diana looked distraught. " Please have your
AUTHOR'S POVConan extricated himself from Diana's arms. There was nothing to say anymore since Amara left. " I'd like to spend the night here."His head swung up, and saw Diana stretching on his chair, reluctant to leave.That equated to having sex with her. He couldn't do that to Amara. He thought about Amara everytime he kissed Diana." I have some work to do." He refused. That excuse was getting old and annoying. For over six months, it had been one excuse or the other. The potion was said to make her irresistible, and it didn't work.She took it in the morning. It needed to circulate in her system." I'll wait." She declared, and she moved to his bed, stretching languidly like a cat.Conan shook his head. It was going to be a hectic day.As he flipped the pages, his eyes caught a circled word *LEVY*He went back to it, and saw that last month a pack received levy twice. The Blood Moon pack.He wasn't aware of any levy. He flipped back to the previous month. It was marked paid
CONANRocky and I came to a mutual understanding. There was no bad blood whatsoever between us anymore. We arrived at the pack at the wee hours in the morning. I guess it was 4am or thereabout. My watch was still dripping from the rain, and it was unreliable.Hopefully, Diana would have exited the room before I got back." Where are you coming from?" She enquired, and I winced at her loud voice. " Went to check out something." I explained." That's why you had to visit Amara." She accused.I sighed and shook my head at her ridiculous accusation. I went to my closet, went to take and bath and change my cloth in the bathroom.Was she blind not to see that I was drenched? Drama was the last agenda on my mind.Walking towards the door, with that thought in mind." You know it's true, that's why you're leaving. Coward, and cheat!" " Go like you always do. You abandoned Amara in the first place. What do I expect?" She said spitefully, immediately I got to the door.I stiffened, and It
Amara's POVI resumed my chore at Diana's room. Luckily, she was not in the room when I got there. I was late to get there, so I made sure that I cleaned as fast as I could, to make sure that she didn't get that I was late. I was cleaning the windows when Diana walked in. Her profile hostile but I greeted her, which she hissed in return.I paid her no mind, because i wasn't the cause of her predicament. "Get me a glass of water." She ordered. I returned hastily with one, which she didn't sip.I was almost done with my chores when she poured the glass of water on the floor.I had gotten better at controlling my anger. She wanted me to react, and I had grown past that." I'm sorry, your highness." I apologized, as i moved to the puddle of water, and cleaned it quietly.I smiled inwardly at the perplexed look on her face. She wasn't expecting that. If Anita learnt that a legend lived in me, she would kill me off, immediately. Literally. A web of lies would be spun around and I woul
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
