THE DEMON WOLF & HIS MATE

The snow capped mountain that spanned the vista behind the palace emulated her mood.Moonlight streamed through the window of Anastasia's room in the north wing. She stared at the main entrance of the Kralj palace as guests climbed up the stairs to attend the ball. 'Twas the night before her wedding to Raul, the crown prince, her cousin. The celebration had dragged on all week. From where she was, she could see all women laughing joyously, as they delicately picked up their expensive gowns and climbed the stairs. They curled their hand warmly against their men's arms affectionately as they cocooned them with their wings on one side.Anastasia hated every moment of it. Since morning she had vomited five times with sheer disgust. She would turn nineteen the next day—the legal age to marry in the Kingdom of Vilinski—a day Raul has been waiting for ten years.“You look breathtaking my Princess” said Nyles, breaking her reverie as she fixed the veil that fell to Anastasia's chin, with a go

“Are you mad?” Anastasia said and punched him on his back.“Shut up!, If you want to get out of here.” he said.He scaled the wall like it was nothing. Securing her in his arms, he jumped down to the ground effortlessly on his feet.Shocked as hell, she looked at him. But he was now running with her to the boundary of the kingdom. For the first time, she heard the screams and shouts of the soldiers. The palace has been alerted of her abduction. It was now a matter of time till they found her. They were Fae soldiers.“I think you better leave me here, Starlight.” said Anastasia.“They are going to be here any minute.”The man gave her a feral grin. With one hand holding Anastasia by the waist, Starlight leapt almost ten feet high and tossed her into the air. She suppressed a shriek for fear they would be caught. As the world turned around and moved in slow motion she found she was falling, limbs flailing towards the ground. But before she touched the ground, she found herself over the

Nyles came huffing as she stepped into the carriage.“Milady!” she said as she hugged Anastasia tightly. A smile broke on Anastasia's face. Nyles started fussing around her.“How are you?” she asked, examining her hands and her body in general.“These bastards didn't let me meet you for three days straight. I had to ride with that stupid woman Darla!” she grumbled.“For three days we have been riding constantly, stopping only for not more than a few hours to give the horses rest. My buttocks and thighs are numb. They ache and they are sore.” she said rubbing her buttocks.“I have never been subjected not this kind of hardship, Milady.” Nyles started crying.“We must go back to Vilinski as soon as possible. I didn't know that Starlight was such a trickster, for a year, how could he stay like Starlight?” she said with a frown pulling herself together.“Wait! I'm I making sense?”Anastasia started laughing.“I am fine Nyles, and it's good to see you.” then she looked at the fur she was w

Macilleus stared in Anastasia's sapphire eyes and said,“It will take another week for us to get out of this realm. You can thank me then.”Anastasia was so grateful to this man. Her lips curved in an innocent smile. This man had been so loyal to her. Maybe she should ask him to stay with her. Loyalty was something she had always valued, and something which she craved because there was none in the world she was in. Only Nyles.“Where does this road end? Which town?” she asked. Once she's out of this forest of Vilinski, she would leave... disappear.“Quaint little towns dot the periphery of this forest. The nearest one is Oraid, it's the territory of Busan.” he replied.“Oh!” she bit her lip, she would be leaving him after that. She would simply slip away with Nyles. Moreover she wondered as to why Macilleus will want to stay with her? She had burdened him so much already. In fact, he will want to stay away from her.She changed the topic,“I heard you joined the ranks of the Kingdom a
