Eleanor's POVI sat on the bed momentarily as I could not understand what he had said. He does not know why he has not killed me yet. I thought. Why has he held me and my baby captive? I kept asking myself the question without getting an answer. My heart raced fast as I bit my lower lips, shaking my head slowly. He turned around, and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he was about to leave the room, but he only started to walk around the room.“Is he asleep again?” He suddenly asked as he went close to the window, looking outside. Words ran out of my mouth as I sat there dumbfounded. I only managed to nod my head in affirmation, but he didn't seem to notice I nodded, and he asked again.“I said is he sleeping again?” He asked, but this time with a sharp tone, accompanied by a bit of anger. I knew better than to nod again at this time. “Yes!.” That was all I could force myself to say. His words continued to reverberate in my mind. I could not take my mind off it. He already had the i
Ethan’s POVAs I paced back and forth in the room, my anger consumed me. Restlessness coursed through my veins, making it impossible to find a moment of peace. Every step I took felt like a release of pent-up frustration, I had been waiting for the witch for what almost seemed like forever and she was nowhere to be found. The weight of it all pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe, and think clearly.My mind was a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, each one fueling my anger further. I clenched my fists tightly, feeling the tension in my muscles as I desperately tried to contain the storm brewing inside me. But it was no use. The anger was too overpowering to be tamed, I checked my time again and again wondering why she wasn't here yet.I have questions that only she can answer, I need to know how on earth Eleanor and King Derek both lost their memory of each other, That act can only be the work of a witch and I couldn't think of any witch powerful a enough to do that spell an
King Derek's POVI sat there on my chair in my office, lost in thoughts. I placed my hand on my chin, stroking it gently as I hummed lightly. My legs, shaking gently as different thoughts ran through my mind. I jolted from my reverie instantly as my eyes when wide open when I suddenly remembered I had some unfinished work. I stood up quickly from the chair and walked to the drawer. I brought out some piece of paper and walked back to the chair I was seated earlier.“What are all these?” I whispered as I looked through the content of the papers, exhaling slowly. It was the record of the finance of the palace. I did seem to understand a thing written there as I flipped through the pages. “Why is the profit margin not correlating with the total funds recorded here. There is tax evasion too.” I asked myself loudly in the office. I paced around the office slowly, holding the papers in my hands. I have to call the head of finance. He needs to do a breakdown analysis of the total money spen
Ethan’s POV ”No!” I screamed out loud, hitting my head violently as my fury consumed me. The anger pulsated through my veins, making my blood boil with intensity. I have never felt this kind of anger before. My plan didn't just fail, I was defeated by King Derek my sworn enemy.“He looked me in the face and smiled, he smiled at my defeat, King Derek had the last laugh”I couldn't contain the rage any longer. In a fit of fury, I began to unleash my anger on the objects around me. I grabbed whatever was within reach and threw it against the walls, the sound of shattering glass echoing through the room. Each crash was a release, a way to channel the explosive emotions coursing through me. “This can't be happening to me, no way!” I yelled angrily. My breath came in heavy pants as I exerted all my energy into this act of destruction. It was as if the very act of breaking things was a cathartic release, a way to externalize the turmoil within me. The room became a battleground, the casua
Eleanor's POVI sat on the edge of the bed, breastfeeding my baby. He looked happy, as he probably did not know what was going on. My mind soon drifted away from my immediate environment as I dived into the world of thoughts. What could be happening outside the building where I was being held? I wondered. I thought about moments with Zora and how she had helped me even without knowing me. I thought about the day I had memory loss, and she rushed me to the hospital. Different thoughts hit my mind as I kept thinking of Zora.My mind drifted away from Zora completely to the man who kidnapped me and my baby, bringing us here against our will. What does he want to do with us? Why is he not letting us go? He is wicked and callous. I thought. I heaved a sigh as I was brought back to reality and the door to my room suddenly opened. I turned around to see who had come in, and my gaze fell on a maid. She smiled at me as she approached me before bowing. “I was asked to come and pick up your use
Eleanor’s POVI woke up with my scream reverberating through the room, my heart pounded against my chest like a wild drumbeat. The remnants of the nightmare clung to my mind, leaving me breathless and disoriented. My body trembled uncontrollably as a cold sweat coated my skin, making me shiver despite the warmth of my blankets.My eyes darted around the dimly lit room, searching for any signs of danger. Shadows danced menacingly on the walls, casting eerie shapes that only fueled my imagination. Every creak and rustle in the room felt like a malicious presence lurking in the darkness, waiting to pounce on me.I clutched the sheets tightly, seeking solace in their familiar touch. My breath came in short, ragged gasps as if my lungs were desperately trying to catch up with the racing rhythm of my heartbeat. I could feel the weight of my fear pressing down on me, threatening to suffocate me in its tightened grip.Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. The overwhelming sense of v
Eleanor’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the sunlight piercing through the window. Suddenly I felt a warmth surrounding me, a comforting embrace that made my heart skip a beat. Confusion clouded my sleepy mind for a moment, I turned my head quickly and my eyes widened in surprise. It was King Derek, his strong arms wrapped around me pulling me even closer.We must have fallen asleep talking I thought to myself. A shy smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I realized the closeness between us. I could feel his steady heartbeat against my back, the rise and fall of his chest with each breath. I wasn't expecting him to still be on my bed till now, yet it filled me with a sense of contentment that I couldn't deny.Blushing slightly, I shifted in his arms to face him directly, my eyes fixed on his face as I watched him sleep. With a mixture of shyness and curiosity, I reached up and gently brushed a lock of hair away from his face. My touch was gentle, afraid to wake hi
Eleanor's POV"It's a beautiful day" I muttered to myself, inhaling and exhaling the cool breeze of the morning. I woke very early today and was feeling very energetic so I decided to give myself a detailed tour around the palace. Since King Derek has finally allowed me to walk freely around the palace."Baby, mama will be back soon," I said to my baby giving him a gentle Peck on the cheeks. I turned to the maid to notify her that I was going out for a quick stroll before heading out.As I walked through the grand halls of the palace, my eyes were filled with wonder and awe. The intricate details of the architecture, from the ornate columns to the delicate carvings on the walls, spoke of a rich history and regal elegance.I paused for a moment taking in the breathtaking view before me, At that moment, I felt a deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounded me.As I continued my exploration, I entered a vast courtyard, surrounded by lush gardens. The vibrant blooms danced in the gent
Eleanor's POVI breathed in and out inhaling the sweet unique air of the human world, I never knew how much I missed being here until now."We are almost there, I am so excited," I said happily to King Derek, as we drove into Zora's neighborhood, my heart raced with anticipation King Derek had granted my wish of going to the human world to Zora, I was so excited and I have anticipating this day for a very long time, I miss Zora so much and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. I know she might have been looking everywhere for me and my baby and she would be so happy to know that we are fine."We are going to see Aunty Zora soon," I said to my baby whose attention was on his feeders, I have finally stopped him from breastfeeding and decided to start giving him baby food, I can't have two people sucking my breast. "Here we are, remember Zora doesn't have to know anything out of the ordinary for her" kind Derek reminded me, he had told me not to tell Zora about our world to protect her
Eleanor's POV"Don't cry, little baby, mummy is here," I said to my son, who was crying loudly, I don't know why he was crying because I had fed him already. I guess he misses his father. "Do you want to see Dada?" I asked smiling, he paused and looked at me for a while before he continued.As I sat there, gently patting my son's back, a wave of happiness washed over me. Weeks had passed since King Derek's victorious battle against Ethan, and the memory still filled my heart with pride and gratitude.I looked down at my son, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and couldn't help but smile. He was a testament to the strength and love that King Derek and I shared. His presence was a constant reminder of the triumph we had achieved together. Who would have thought I would be this problem-free? All my life I have been facing problems upon problems, from the death of my parent to losing my memory to the torture I faced at the hands of Ethan, and finally those problems are long gone all t
King Derek's POVMy body was boiling with anger as I heard Ethan say those words, I knew there was no way he would let Eleanor and my baby go scot-free, but I was just engaging in the conversation to buy time.Ethan thought he had the upper hand now, but what he didn't know was that I was expecting his attack on my pack, and I was prepared for him."Ethan there is no way I am going to let you harm my son, I will die before I would let that happen" I yelled back at him angrily."And what are you going to do about King Derek, it's already too much. I have your pack surrounded and my men are already taking your people hostage" he replied proudly, with a smile on his face.Just then I saw Lucas my beta behind him, I kept my cool and continued to beg him so he wouldn't notice, but suddenly his expression changed, I think he felt a figure behind him but as soon as he was about to turn my beta hit him of the neck with his sword and he fell on the floor releasing his grip on Eleanor.Eleanor

Ethan’s POVAs I stormed towards Eleanor's cage angrily, my anger intensified, it was like a storm brewing inside me. I felt like my blood was boiling, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the heat rising, and my muscles tensing up with every passing second.My fists clenched tightly, with my knuckles turning white as I struggled to contain the overwhelming fury that was about to consume me. It was like a volcano ready to erupt, threatening to unleash my destructive power.I got to her cage and flung the door open violently, she was coiled up in the cage shaking, which made me furious. Every little thing seemed to fuel my anger, making it grow stronger and more uncontrollable. My mind was filled with thoughts of frustration and resentment towards Eleanor, and it felt like a storm cloud was hovering above me, ready to burst with thunder and lightning.I dragged her by her hair and pulled her out of the cage. The only thought in my head was to kill Eleanor, to strangle th
Ethan's POV"Ethan please let me go!" Eleanor yelled trying to break free of my hold on her."Shut up,!" I yelled as I gave her a very dirty slap, she fell to the ground and I warned her. "Don't test my patience, Eleanor, I am not in a good mood and I will take that aggression out on you," I said angrily as I dragged her by her hair and threw her into the cage violently.I feel so much anger and hatred towards Eleanor and the only reason why she is still alive is because I needed leverage against King Derek, I wish that maid hadn't escaped with her son, I would have killed him first. "My Lord, I brought devastating news," said the guard who had come in earlier, as much as I was not in the mood for chit-chat, I felt like I needed to listen to him to know what was happening at my pack."Speak then, or should I beg you first" I yelled rudely, trying to control my anger."King Derek attacked the pack and took a lot of hostages," he said avoiding my gaze completely."What!" As I heard the
Eleanor's POVI woke up suddenly, feeling hazy and dizzy at the same time. I held my head tightly and winced in response to the pain I felt. I laid down on the floor there, and I tried to sit up and rest my back against the wall. I sat against the wall, still holding my head tightly as the pain intensified. I took a deep breath as I rubbed my forehead slowly, wiping my face with my palm. My heart pounded harder as my breath raced faster. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.Something was unusual. There was no noise from the pack house. No noise from maids doing their activities and also the palace workers going about too. I suddenly opened my eyes, looking around the room. It felt like my eyes were shrouded with a dark cloud, but they became familiar with the environment after a moment. I looked around in shock to find out I was in a new cell. How did I get here? I asked in my thoughts. I managed to stand up from where I sat, going toward the door slowly. I banged
King Derek's POV I gave Lucas a straight stare as I heard what he said. I quickly put on my clothes, and we dashed out of the room, leaving my baby in his crib as he was still sleeping. Lucas stopped abruptly, clearing his throat as he exhaled deeply.“What about the baby?” He asked as he wore a concerned look on his face. “The maid will take care of him,” I replied calmly as I tilted my head to look at him, and we continued to walk in the direction of the yard. In no time, we were standing in the yard where the whole army was gathered with their weapons all set. They all bowed down in unison to greet me and I gestured, tilting my head to see all of them. I turned to Lucas, giving him a brief stare, gesturing to him to bring his ears.“What's the plan?” I whispered lowly into his ears. I leaned backward, looking directly into his eyes. He heaved a sigh as he pointed to the car that we should hop on the car. We walked to the car and the warriors chanted war songs. It reminded me of t
King Derek's POV“I…I.” She stuttered as her breath was shaky, pointing towards the room. I turned to look at the back, turning back to look at her, exhaling heavily.“You what?” I asked curiously as I looked puzzled. Lucas walked slowly towards the door, and the maid bowed as he approached. She was trembling obviously, as her hands were shaky when she pointed into the room again. “The baby.” She managed to say as she pointed again. I turned to look in the direction of his crib. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. “What happened to him?” Lucas asked curiously as he looked at the maid with a straight face, making me turn towards her. I walked towards the baby to check on him as I did not understand what the maid was saying there. He was still sleeping as I tapped him gently. I heaved a sigh as I tilted my head to look towards the door. “She has not fed him tonight,” Lucas said aloud, and I chuckled dryly. She walked into the room swiftly in our direction, checking on the baby. I im
