RAFAELLA
My eyes widened as the prince's words sunk into my mind. Crystal clear as water, he wants me to serve him! He wants me to help him in everything he does! What the heck? Was he trying to degrade me from being a princess into his slave? The audacity of this man! How dare he do this to me? I would surely give him everything he wants with lot's of consolation reawards in tow!
"I thought you wanted to fulfill my wish?" He added. He finally loosened his hold on me and now he faced me while smirking. "Does it sound too much?" He asked. Jerk!
Damn! His smirk was such an eyesore! Think Rafaella! Think! You must not let him get into you! Try to find something that would make him mad! To the extent that he would vanish in front of you this instant. An idea suddenly pops out from my head making my lips twitch into a confident smile. I bit my lower lip and sta
"Hope you guys enjoyed reading my story. Please though leave your thoughts and votes as well. Thank you. 😘"
RAFAELLA I know why this Prince Erick chose to stay in my chamber rather than to choose another one which is more peaceful to stay. He's up to something! I know it! He's pulling me into his trap and I would never fall for it. As long as I can resist it, I will try my best to draw a line between us. Though my heart began to ache when I imagined us separating from each other, I had to endure it. I swear I would be nice to him. I won't shoo him away using my rudeness but my charms. Huh! I will let him know that I could fight his torments against me. Now I was planning on something hard for him to resist. Tit for tat Erick! I made sure that he's going to see me. All of me! After confirming that I could do anything in my chamber even if he was there, I began stripping down my robe. As my back was facing him, I purposely turned around and let him see what I had. All that a man should be wishing to h
ERICK My heart hammered furiously as I galloped my boot's heels towards her current position. Something within me felt suddenly scared. Damn it! No! I can't lose her! My eyes began to shed tears which I didn't actually know that I could be able to. I couldn't help breathing heavily. My body was shaking and my nerves were twisting in fear. Damn! I haven't felt this kind of fear since I made myself the Alpha of the Royal Blood pack. 'Dickhead! Check her out! Fast!' Cirrus commands me, wailing miserably. I ignored him and scooped Rafaella in my arms in a hurry. "Rafa, wake up, baby…" I shook her shoulders frantically and tapped her pale face. Panic began to crept the hell out of me! "Rafa… please…" my voice faltered, shaking coming out from my throat. She's not responding to me! She wa
RAFAELLAI opened my eyes and sigh. Morning comes again. The birds were chirping and I assumed they were singing outside my windows. They must be hanging out at the tree branches that are stationed beside my room. A gust of wind blows making my flimsy curtains waver. It feels chilly, making me shiver.It's been three days since I got wounded. I had just overcome my fever and during those days, I had Erick beside me all the time. He attends to everything I need. From cleaning my wound, herb treatments and a whole lot more. I could say that he successfully softened a fraction of my heart. I hate to admit it but I'm feeling torn between my will to travel and be with him. He made me feel a lot of emotions that I didn't usually feel before I met him. There's something about him that keeps me pulling towards him. Whenever he took me in his arms and lull me to sleep, my heart cou
ERICK This is the third day of my stay in Rafaella's castle and tonight is the last night of us being together in her bed. I was such a dumb ass if somebody thinks of me that I didn't feel the urge to claim her during those nights while she laying in my arms but I couldn't. My efforts were about to bear fruit therefore a little bit more endurance is worth it. This morning we made it clear to each other that we both feel the same. I know she's having more than an attraction towards me as well as me towards her and I had to control it thus I excused myself and headed out to the garden to breathe some fresh air. Cirrus wants to come out pretty badly but I didn't allow him to. There are some guards stationed in every corner and I can't afford the risk to mess up my efforts like that. I left Rafaella in her chamber while she fell asleep. I'm afraid I couldn't bear i
RAFAELLA My eyes grow wide in shock and bewilderment. Her other half? How did she know about it? I stared at her doubtfully for a while, unable to absorb her words properly. "Rafa, please… I'll answer everything you ask later but please, not at this moment. Look at him, he's dying and I can't lose him this way." Red started sobbing. Her tears were flowing like streams that left me astounded. It breaks my heart to see her like this. There's no way I would let her suffer when I can help her cure her man. During those 8 long years that were together, I never saw her crying like this desperately. She had been wounded severely several times but tears never appeared running from her eyes. But now she's different. She looked torn and hopeless and I wondered if she had felt the thing they called 'love' towards the man. Perhaps she is t
ERICK I was deeply engrossed in my thoughts that I barely noticed something was wrong. The sunlight was getting hotter and piercing hitting right into my skin. My mind was full of Rafaella's images. The way she smiles at me. The way she frowns at me. The way she gritted her teeth in irritation towards me is really amusing. Her feisty and stubborn character added more to it, making me smirk. Her unspeakable cruelty, which is far more unbelievable compared to any female human in this kingdom, was adding more to the allure that she had me wrapped in her finger in just a few days without her knowing it. I finally stood up and gathered my messy thoughts. I needed to check on her again and try to converse with her if she could come with me to my kingdom in the morrow. I can't stay here any longer. Cirrus is bugging me too much to let him out. I can understand him for that
RAFAELLA After checking out every corner of my chamber and confirming that it was empty, I ran back to my hidden passage where I left wolfie. My eyes grew wide, almost popping out from it's sockets when a figure came into my sight. Heck? Though he had his back facing me, I surely recognized whose back it was. My heart drums loudly beneath my chest. Damn! He's on my secret passage? When? Was he looking for me? And why the heck was he naked like this? Erick! "What are you doing here, Erick?" I queried suspiciously. "Turn around." He commanded. "No! Tell me what the hell are you doing in my secret passage?" I pressed while taking slow steps towards him. "I said turn around and I'm not gonna repeat it again!" He o
ERICK "Don't you dare turn your back on me while I'm speaking to you, Rafaella." I warned her seriously. My nose is about to flare up with her stubborn temper. "I'm not." She defended but still her voice sounds waving off and clearly, she's heading to the door. "I'm taking a bath in the other chamber. Please feel free to use mine." And with that, she exited the chamber without waiting for my affirmation. Now I couldn't follow her as I'm already naked. I just need to make this as quick as possible to get her and talk about her little escapade. It still bugs me that she's keeping secrets from me. I know that we're still knowing each other but it fucking hurts me that she didn't trust me even for a bit. 'Well… look who sounds ironic here…' Cirrus mocked me.
RAFAELLAWoah… I admit. I was mesmerized with what I actually witnessed. It was indeed different from what I had expected. My mind was flashing imaginative things that are opposite from this. The Southern Kingdom of the Hemisphere was actually the opposite of our kingdom. Compared to the people in my kingdom, here seems to have developed into a huge gap when it comes to clothing statutes. I can spot a lot of females dressed in the same tailored clothing falling in a strand as I peered at my window. Their hairs are braided in the same manner and it actually amazed me how they took a huge effort on performing it every time they woke up. Were they usually like this most of the time or was it just this time because of my sudden visit? Well, I would eventually know that during the days of my visit. I got seven days and nights to discover what I want to realize. I was so engrossed in my daydreaming that I failed to notice that we were already halting in the middle of the entryway.My carri
RAFAELLAI looked through my carriage window as we began moving out from our kingdom's border. It's been a while since we took the trail and now I feel so damned miserable with my butt aching from sitting. Even the cushioned seat couldn't be able to sooth my frustrations this time.Trees. Small trees. Huge trees. Massive sea of trees… What the heck? Can't I see anything else interesting rather than endless trees? So this was the feeling of being a traveler? Now I finally understand how it sucks! I couldn't help shifting on my cushioned seat feeling rather dull. I have no one to talk. I left Ada in the palace because we had already a brief discussion about our little secret. Anytime, I could get back in just a snap but that would be very suspicious of me if I would be using the traversing spell. I mean, magical things were happening but traveling in a blink into another place seems too… Should be kept from anyone else unless it comes with urgency.Lalaine insisted on escorting me unti
ERICKI was currently in the middle of the training arena which is located at the massive garden right in front of the entryway of the palace when Zed mind linked to me. I was sitting on a bench watching sharply the ten pairs of warriors dueling against each other using their swords. I mean we were wolves but having sword fighters would also add to our advantage. The wolves warrior had different training grounds and this area belongs to humans.What happened last night still baffled me. When I asked Cirrus about that certain event, he denied me saying that he wasn't there. He also stated that he seemed to have been lost during those moments and couldn't find himself a way to get into my mind. That alone made me feel strange. Such circumstances never occurred to us. We never get separated even for once but last night it happened in a brief moment."Alpha, a messenger from the Kingdom of Oenothera just arrived." Zed informed me. My golden eyes snapped wide open in curiosity. I swallowe
RAFAELLAThe following day… I was woken up early by Ada. She reminds me of my plan for the day. Now, we're casually treating others like we're sisters. After our little escapade in their home which had also become my home for a couple of months when I was still a baby, we had developed good interactions against each other. Strange but pleasing, I now had other destinations in mind but for now, let me be Erick's guest for a few days…"My lady, are you sure that you're gonna pay him a real visit this time?" Ada was now smirking at me while asking for my decision about last night.I give out a quick nod. "Yeah. I want to get to know him better." I replied. "He's mysterious and I wonder what he was actually hiding from me."Ada was helping me get dressed with my usual clothes. My laces at the back had to be tied neatly and only she can do it. "Inhale my lady, let's make this tighter." She demanded."Ugh!" I whined, feeling terribly annoyed at the dress. "Can't I just wear the dresses in t
RAFAELLAThe loud sounds coming from the door startled me which actually made me feel frustrated yet I was thankful because I was on the verge of losing my ounce of restrictions. I almost gave up. My body was craving for him and he seemed to be similar to me. It wasn't just a coincidence that someone had interrupted us. I sensed that light steps approaching but my desire was overshadowing my judgement. My guts told me that it wasn't a palace's slave but a woman who seemed to be closely related to Erick. When he snapped his head towards the door, that was the time that I decided to leave him alone and get back to my chamber. Either he opened the door or not, I didn't care. It's just that I feel so odd to hear a woman who seemed so possessive of him. Was he in a relationship or something? Why was he telling me such things when he already had someone in his heart? What's going on? I couldn't keep my calm. It terrified me that I felt like I was losing my sanity for him when I didn't have
RAFAELLAI can't believe it!My breath hitched and my heart beat so fast in excitement. The eagerness to try the spell was so tempting that my mind began to imagine appearing in Erick's chamber to even catch a glimpse of him. Would he be happy to see me? Ecstatic perhaps? Well... I really hope so..."Rafa, get up." Bethany urged me and occasionally helped me in a seating position. She handed me a goblet filled with sparkling liquid and said, "Drink this to refuel your energy. Soon you will get used to it and you can travel whenever and wherever you want to."I frowned while looking at the goblet. "What's this?" I asked curiously. Ada chuckled. "My lady, that concoction never meant harm to your body. It will only add more of your strength if you try the spell alone." She assured me."Fine…" I took the goblet and downed it in one go. The taste was so damned different and I felt like puk
RAFAELLAI sighed in defeat. Why? Because Bethany's words aren't really misleading. She's right! I'm falling for Erick but there is still a piece of me that refuses to yield over my heart. My mind was battling hard against my chest. The heck! Was it because I wasn't able to make him tell me about his family? I really don't have any idea how to feel at ease about this. I can't even think straight. I really felt complicated."Rafa, listen to me, princess. If you feel something for him, you don't have to hold back. Go with it. Follow your heart. Indulge yourself and try to be happy." I know Bethany was trying to convince me. I guess I need a lot more convincing."But what if I got hurt and made a terrible mistake in the end?" I couldn't help my hesitancy to bound over me.Ada stormed into the chamber and chuckled. "My lady, there was always pain everywhere. As long as you exist in this world, you will always feel pa
ERICKIt's been three day and three nights. I thought leaving earlier from that kingdom would make me feel better. I felt strangled by now and I don't know why. I just spent time in my chamber whenever I finished dealing with the discussion about some pack training and nothing else.I haven't had the chance to talk to my mother because she's gone somewhere I wasn't aware of. As usual, she might have gone to find a cure for my father's illness again. Ugh! Why am I acting like this? I couldn't get myself into the game that I used to play. My mind is elsewhere thinking about her. The nights that we spent together and the moments about us. It was swirling on my head. Whenever I close my eyes, all I can see is her face and eyes sparkling gazing at me. She had this naughty and provocative look on her face that made my blood rise to a high temperature. Her tauntings those times really made me smile when I was alone.'I missed her.' C
BETHANYShe looked extremely baffled and I perfectly understood her reaction. She was now twenty years old and a fully grown-up woman. Beautiful, voluptuous, enchanting, and feisty. If not for the fact that I especially sent Ada on her side to watch over her during those years, I would've even recognized her. Oh, my little precious Rafaella… How I missed her so much during those years… I couldn't help looking at her fondly just like how I looked into my daughter Ada."What are you trying to insinuate, Bethany?" Rafaella stared at me curiously while rubbing her arms. She might have been feeling really weird at the way I looked at her. "I used to be your mother's opponent with your father's affection. I'm deeply captivated by him that I fought hard fairly and squarely until the end. I'm a sorceress, a powerful one but I didn't use any of my abilities to cheat on your mother. In the end, I was defeated and was disregarded by you
