"Hey, Dior." Myra smiled.

Nimue scowled quietly before plastering a smile across her features, "This is my adoptive daughter, Dior. Child, this is your future father and brother."

Dior waved at me with a smile before turning her attention to my father, giving him the same gesture to which he returned. I rolled my eyes as I studied the little girl.

Something about her doesn't sit right with me. I understand that she is an infant but the sweet look and cherry personality seem forced and faked. The way her eyes would twinkle when meeting new people looks as if she's putting on a front, and no one else seems to notice but me.

"She will be turning 6 years old in a few moons, as such a small gathering will be held in her honor as well as the announcement of your father and I's marriage and coronation." Nimue sipped her soup casually.

The water I was sipping on slipped from my lips unintentionally as this news sunk in.

"What do you mean YOUR coronation?" I gritted, my hands clenched on both

    It'd been a few days since the dinner and Raver still hasn't spoken to his father, and I'm still a little in shock about seeing him shift.I was hesitant to follow after him after things got so personal with his father, and what he said about his mother was not cool at all. I figured he needed time to blow off some steam by himself, but then I thought we already been through so much within the time frame of knowing each other, we're not about to separate now.I think it may be physically impossible for me to do so.Ever since we washed onto the shores of Lykanthop that day we got attacked by the professors at Saint View, I've been really attached to Raver.I'm with him during most hours of the day, sometimes what we're doing is in no way productive to finding out why half-caste wants me dead, but just being around him makes the world seem a lot more colorful, like no matter what happens I'll be safe with him.He makes me happy, I smile a lot when I'm with him. Something I haven't been

    I finish my breakfast, dragging Hunter and Remmi to Raver's room to discuss what I'd heard earlier that morning.I knock on his door a couple of times before he answered, hair messy and eyes tired with no shirt on."Oh! I uh...hey. Um..." I stumbled to form a sentence as I tried my best to not look at his abs on full display."Breathe," Remmi whispered which caused Hunter to chuckle beside her, making my cheeks turn a bright shade of red."We need to talk."He nodded before opening his door wide enough for us all to enter and closing it shut behind us. He pulled a shirt on as he sat on the edge of his bed, the rest of us piling onto it.I dove into what I saw, leaving out the information about the secret passage since I wanted to explore it a bit more, find out exactly what lies at the end of it. All the while Hunter and Raver's eyes never left mine as Remmi fiddled with her fingers in her lap, eyes cast downwards."And then I went to the dining room, trying not to let her know that I

    "Dior?" Came her sickening voice."Nimue! Look what we made," Dior said, turning to show her sparkling wings."Quite a mess I'd say. What have you done?" She said as she examined her paint-stained daughter."It's only paint, it comes off with a quick bath. You should try one," I said as I folded my arms, returning the glare she threw at me."Speak for yourself, young lady. You're as nasty as she is," She scolded but I only rolled my eyes."We thought we'd match your personality today, couldn't you tell?""I-" The King interrupted any retort she would've thrown my way."Come now, ladies. Let's be civil in the presence of your King," He smiled as he raised his chin in pride of his authority."Of course, your highness," Nimue said with a sweet smile which caused Raver and I to both roll our eyes at the same time."Let's get you to the bathtub darling," She ushered Dior out of the living room, being sure to hit my shoulder on the way out.How mature of her."I must excuse myself, I have m

    "Queen Layla," Myra said once we finished the first page of the tome."Syrens sound awesome! Can you do any of that mind-reading thing?" Hunter asked, practically bouncing in his seat like the imbecil he is."Not that I know of," She answered before turning to Remmi," Why would the prophecy be about Syrens? What about us made our abilities so much more superior to the others that it could cause the end of the world?""Have you not been reading what was on that page? You can manipulate the way people think, possibly turn them against their own kind causing a whole war on its own," She threw her hands up as she stared back at Myra."Yes, but Lykans can shift into wolves, seers have mystical powers, fae have their elements and-" Myra was cut off by Remmi."Syrens can turn people against each other, I don't think there's anything more powerful than that.""This is why the teachers tried attacking us back in half caste, they were trying to execute a problem before it became one." I thought

    The day of the ball.Now I can't really explain what it was like getting into this dress without feeling out of breath just thinking about it.I was put into a silky pastel pink dress which dragged against the floor in the back but falls just below my knees in front. the corset around my stomach helped my waist to shrink a couple centimeter which gave my already curvy figure curvy.When I say already curvy I meant the curves in my belly rolls.I wore a pair of white ballet flats which complimented the trim of my dress and a silver chain hung around my neck with a heart pendant at the end. It was my favourite part of my look seeing as it was handmade with the most intricate designs I've ever seen.Or at least that's what the ladies who helped me to put it on said."Where's Remmi?" I asked when I noticed she wasn't in the room."She went to her room to get a pair of heels she bought for this specific event, ma'am," one of them replied, smoothing out my dress.I nodded but before anythin

    "What happened here?" I asked a maid who was off to the side.The King had ordered that everyone except the royal family and myself clear out to avoid tampering with any evidence until detectives arrived.The guests who had followed us must've told people what they saw because no more than five minutes later the orchestra stopped playing and no more chattering was heard, only the sound of hooves tapping against the gravel and the wheels of the carriages moving away from the castle."Poor Annalia, she was so young. Been working here with her mother for all her life until her mother passed away last year, now her. She came to the kitchen earlier after she cleaned out on of the emergency secret passageways telling us she'd heard something horrific.""We all ignored her, rightfully so as she always had such an active imagination that no one ever took her seriously. She was going on about a cloaked figure, the rest was a jumbled mess of patois that none of the other helped understood. No o

    "What are we gonna do about Nimue? We can't let her get away with this." I asked as we made our way out of the maze. After the moment we shared, I knew he would prefer to be alone in his silence but this needed to be sorted before Nimue takes it too far."We have no proof she did and even if we did, you'd be accusing the future queen of Lykanthrop, the king won't take this lightly.""That is entirely his problem.""That is grounds for treason." He retorts. I huffed in frustration which caused him to sigh and bring us to a halt. "I know you want justice but we can't do anything without solid proof. Please, promise me you won't do anything.""I can't promise that I won't try but I promise to not act on anything unless I have solid evidence.""Good." We continued walking when suddenly a plan formulates in my mind. One that I know would work if executed properly."I have a plan!""That fast?""Of course! We find a maid that could spread a rumour and Nimue, forcing her to take action! We c

    Seeing her being treated like that set my veins on fire. I wanted to rip the heads of the guards that held her. If only they knew, my father would never treat her so poorly if he knew what she meant to me.My soulmate.My better half would be dead by dawn and I can't do anything about it. Choosing her would mean going against my father's decree and I'll lose my title. On the other hand, is there a life worth living for me without her in it? We've only known each other for a few months but in those times I've gotten used to the comfort she brings me when she's near. The sweet scent of apples and orchids were intoxicating and I couldn't get enough of it.I was at war with my mind as every fibre in my body begged to attack. I was getting too angry and I needed to cool down fast before I commit mass murder in my own court. I knew for a fact that she played no part in this because the moment I announced to her that she was accused of murder her heart stopped and I felt a strong emotion. No

    IThe day had finally came and before long we were face to face against the soldiers of Lykanthrop and their king allied with the seers. I watched from the frontlines as the Queen of the Siren Realm and the leaders of Lykanthop and the Seers walked to the center of the battlefield in careful but meaningful steps.According to the laws of Malsophor, an attempt at peace must be made to solve any conflict before blood can be spilled. If the leaders are unable to resolve their issue, then one warrior from each opposing side will meet before the battle can commence.This can raise morale for the soldiers of the winning side, increasing confidence and performance, and cause the soldiers of the losing side to damn-near shit themselves.Once that fight is won and done, the war will commence and whoever lives will tell the story of how they honored their kingdom.I turned my attention away from the Queen to Raver's father, only to find a sinister glint in his eyes as he maintained eye contact

    One training montage later which had a duration of about two days and I was still pretty shit at combat.I don't know what it is, I thought since the sword spoke to me by obnoxiously catching my eyes then that meant I was destined to wield it. Or at least I would not suck as badly as I do. But alas, I am unable to properly hold the thing to swing it at people because my sweaty ass hands kept making the hilt slide out of my palms.Then there's the fact that every time I swung, I miraculously end up missing the training dummy each time.The general and Raver both said that it was because I wasn't focused. Hunter laughed at me and told me I was just horrible at it.How encouraging.The reality was, we weren't exactly ready for war and what it would mean for us. We were on our way to fight and participate in a life-changing event that wouldn't have begun if I hadn't found that rift that faithful day.As for the progress update, however, the men in the army have been training for much long

    I ran.Now, it wasn't the best idea I've had, I will admit. But sometimes the best way to avoid potential problems is not to face them head-on, but to run and hide like the coward you know you are deep down inside.So... that's what I did.It's not that I don't like him, obviously, I do. But there are certain things that I have to figure out before I could make any decisions. The whole emotion-filled speech that I gave to my mother during a period of vulnerability is testimony to my impulsiveness.But I won't ever turn my back on these people, my mother's people. If this is something I have to do then I'll do it. My only hesitation will be Raver.The king of another realm that's two rifts away. We can't be together if my duty is here and his is over there.Returning his feelings means I can't follow in my mother's footsteps, but rejecting them means I'll be putting an entire kingdom before myself. This is probably what most royalty goes through at some point, having to choose between

    I made my way to the palace in a rush to find my mother in the throne room addressing the general of her army who was about to give his report on the situation.The queen noticed my presence as I entered and gestured to the seat beside her which wasn't there before. It was the same silver chair she sat on, only mine was slightly shorter.I took in a deep breath before sitting beside her, nodding politely to the general who gave me a small smile. His second in command did the same, only he gave a slight bow in my direction."You may speak, now.""Yes, your majesty. One of my men on patrol of the rift found a shadow lurking on the other side of it. As part of his duty, he venture through the rift and found three men of lykan descent waiting on the other side who ambushed him. He was able to take them on, luckily but was left greatly injured. We brought them through to investigate since we think they are likely to be scouts. We haven't been able to confirm anything since they are still v

    "Raver no!" I shrieked but my cries fell on deaf eyes as he landed on Kai, fully intending to claw his way beneath his skin. But that didn't happen. Before he could do any lethal damages, Hunter and Leo yanked him off and slammed him into the ground, pinning him in place. Raver thrashed about but he fail to break free of the two warriors that restrain him."There will be order in my court!" The Queen shouted and the whole room grew quiet. She radiated immense power, which could be why not a soul moved. Not even Raver as she made her way towards him."Who are you and what makes you think you can stop a union set before your time?" She towered over him showing nothing but poise and elegance as she does. "I am Raver, King of Lycanthop, Ruler of all Were-kind," He looked over at me before he continued, "And the day I let you hand her over to anyone but me, is the day hell freezes over," He growled."Where it concerns my daughter, I'll be the one to decide what becomes of her fate," Mal

    I felt something passing through that rift. Like a piece of my being was returned to me. For some reason, I felt clarity and peace of mind hit me like a thousand waves. The cause for this sudden sensation is completely unknown but something tells me I'll find out really soon. I looked around, only to realize we were walking on the water. No land, just miles and miles of water. Above us was a clear blue sky mirroring the glossy surface of the vast ocean. Apart from the obvious lack of land and signs of life, there was something calming about this realm that I really enjoyed. "What is this?" "It looks a lot like glass but I could see the water moving below it." "So it's like a barrier then?" "Yeah, I think we should try to find land." "Where do we go now?" "We should all split up and-" "No, I think we have to go down." I interrupted Raver. I felt their stares but I paid them no mind as my mind looked for how I knew that. For some reason, it just felt familiar to me. As if I've

    "Well that gave us absolutely nothing," Hunter threw his arms into the air before throwing himself onto the couch in exhaustion, "All this story told us was that Xavier was an alcoholic and Sophane had horrible taste in men."After finding the book in that cave we all headed back to the house, reading through what we could and attempting to find any hints that suggest where the siren realm might be.I grabbed the book from Remmi's hands and flipped through the pages of the journal filled with beautiful cursive writing. The book was consisted of writing with the ink mostly washed away or pages that somehow went missing, but Remmi did her best to read out the first couple of pages before everything turned to a blurry mess."Are you sure this was all there was in that cave? " Leo questioned."Well we did look everywhere..." She paused in thought before continuing, "What about you, you were there for weeks, you should know what's in every nook and cranny of that place.""I was practically

    "I'm here, don't try to call me. You know I hate that dumb ritual summoning bullshit you idiots like doing," I climb through the small window I had been watching King Gabriel through as he comforted his wife."You bitch! You never mentioned anything about this child of destruction," the baby began to cry in the queen's arm which brought her to swaddle it on her way out of the room after bowing to me, to which I smiled in appreciation.She's always been, my favourite human. She deserves so much better than Gabriel but prophecies and all that telling the future bullshit means can never interfere with love.Which explains why Amiya has such a big fucking ego. She thinks she's special because she's the goddess of love but she's just an over-glorified, man-stealing prostitute.Gods, I hate her."I'm going to excuse the way you're speaking to me right now because you're shit faced but if you don't watch your tone I'll give you the nastiest STD you've ever gotten, and I know you've had a lot

    Earth is exactly how I left it.Leaving that dark cave for what I hope was the last time was both a blessing and a curse. It felt amazing to finally feel the familiar warmth of the earth's sun, but at the same time, this world has brought me nothing but pain for my whole life leading up to this point.From being an orphan and being used to gain people's affection, even being surrounded by fake people who only talk to me because of my status. I hated everything about my life here.I don't think I'm ready to face it again.But I suppose it was bound to happen, these things always have a way of resurfacing after all. You can never truly run away from your problems, they always have a way of coming back to bite you in the ass.Right now we were facing the problem of finding somewhere to crash as showing up at my parents' house with a naked stranger and three other persons suspiciously wearing cloaks was out of the question. That was when an idea came to mind."My parents have a cabin in
