Elizabeth“N-No! Don’t leave me like this, Your Majesty!” I exclaimed while my tears were falling down from my eyes. My hand tremblingly held her cheek. “I can’t do this without you…”Queen Jonah did not blink, her emerald eyes flickering as if any minute, the magic in her will vanish the moment she dies. She just stared at me while coughing off blood.“I… I will heal you!” I said and placed my palm on her stomach. “Just don’t leave me, please!”But when I was about to sing, her warm hand went to my knuckles as if stopping me. I gnashed my teeth in frustration and looked at her.“T-There is no use,” she whispered breathily and inhaled sharply as if she could not breathe anymore. “Make the portal so you c-can go to the underworld.”“I-I don’t know how to do that! That is why you have to live!”She shook her head. “You can. The incantation is in my chambers. F-Find it,” she whispered again and coughed with blood again. This time she was having a hard time breathing. “Until we meet again,
Elizabeth My knees have gone week as I watched my mother, Zandra, revealing herself behind the hood of the red woman. I could feel the lump forming in my throat, and in between of my sadness and anger, longing possessed over me. And I realized that I missed her… very much… and I could not even believe that she was there all the time without me knowing. “Elizabeth,” she mumbled sternly. “I want you to control your emotions.” I repeatedly shook my head and chuckled nervously. “No, you’re not true,” I said. “You are already dead, mother.” “I am,” she said. “I am only a spirit guide that your true mother assigned me for you.” “But how –“ “Darling, I want to answer your questions right now so that you will be enlightened, but this is not the right time. We don’t have much time left. You have to open the portal so you can go to the underworld,” she said in a slow voice. I was still not recovering from her identity, but she was right. Being surprised and seeing the unexpected things ha
Diego “The Kingdom Monjour is transpiring a chaos, sire,” Roy whispered behind me as we watched the burning bonfire where the corpse of the former alpha is placed. “And it is said that Elizabeth killed the queen…” I almost shook my head in dismay, but instead, I closed my eyes so that I could feel Elizabeth. I wanted to hear her thoughts; to know where she is right now; and to foresee what could she be planning next. But again, I just failed in doing that. It was as if Elizabeth had cut her chords off me. I tried to reach out to her, but she had already closed her senses. Days and weeks passed since she was gone, and the only thing I would want to do is to find her. I would never ask the reasons why she left me. I would never question if her love for me has gone. I would even never remember that she ran away, and her reason is because of me. “Aside for the queen, did someone else die?” I asked in a monotone voice, my eyes are still on the bonfire. “From what I have heard a while
Diego “So you are concluding that Elizabeth left because she thinks that we are not working out anymore?” I asked and squinted my eyes at Aurora. “And maybe you are neglecting her,” she said. “You have been busy with your job as an alpha. And I noticed that you are badgering a lot of times, and then you get upset every time you go home.” “But… there are just days that I am not in the mood.” “You don’t go home to her so you can rant all of your problems and then make her feel bad, Diego,” Aurora said and shook her head indulgently. “You are supposed to make her feel safe and loved.” I blinked and my eyes darted down at the figurines on the map from the table. Aurora moved in her seat, but she did not stand up. “Are you not going to look for her and then talk to her?” she asked slowly. “I don’t think… I can leave the pack here, Aurora,” I said. “Then you are choosing your pack over your mate,” she concluded and nodded. “As they say, love is the end of duty. Duty is the end of lov
Third Person’s POV It would have been better if life has been fair to both Elizabeth and Diego. Elizabeth has gone to the underworld five days ago from Kingdom Monjour after he slayed the recent king, King Ronald. The other royalties held a royal funeral for him, and the whole kingdom was saddened to the news. Everyone was so silent and confused to how the king died. Rumors spread throughout the world --- that the king of the Kingdom Monjour was assassinated by the rebels or pirates while committing theft inside the palace. On the other hand, he might be poisoned, committed suicide due to the depression he had after killing the queen, or maybe got cursed. The last choice might relate to his dead situation. But even though all of the people and the royalties knew the whole truth, they did not confirm the assumptions, because it would harm the reputation of the palace. “Who is the king now?” Princess Jeany asked Prince Arkin. “You? The second prince?” Prince Arkin only stared at th
“Let her,” Prince Arkin commented and sighed. “She will eventually realize that ruling is not dreamy as she thinks it is.” “It would be a disaster,” Princess Fatima with a tear falling from her eye. “We have no parents, we have a dead brother, and we will have a queen that could be cruel to anyone of us.” “Why are you crying?” Prince Ken asked the princess and held her shoulder. “Please, don’t cry.” Princess Fatima sobbed and hugged Prince Ken, her sobs being muffled. “I am so scared to die,” she said. “We did something to Elizabeth not a long time ago, and I think that she will go back for us.” “What?” Prince Arkin mumbled. “What have you done to her?” Ever since the first day Prince Arkin met Elizabeth, he fell in love at the first sight he saw her. He knew her as a sweet, kind, and beautiful girl in his eyes. She was so different from any other woman he has ever met. She was a walking dream. But how come that before his eyes during their last dinner, she has become the nightma
Narration Queen Jeany was having the biggest smile among her other royal siblings in front of the dining table inside the hall. If it would be true, there was no one enjoying the celebration. They are only eating without talking as if they are drowned with thoughts they cannot mention. “Isn’t it exciting? We will start the renovation tomorrow so that we can have the palace golden and brand new just like before!” Queen Jeany exclaimed happily and regarded Prince Arkin beside her. “Don’t you think, Prince Arkin?” At first, he could not hear her until she poked his wrist. He lifted his gaze while playing with his fork on his meat. “Yes, my sister?” he mumbled and blinked. The queen ignored the absence of his mind and just bestowed a pleased smile. “I am reckoning that we will be successful in building the palace again,” she said enthusiastically. “Like it is going to be my reign now! And I have made my vows to protect this kingdom. Tomorrow, I will be meeting the royalties from the h
NARRATION “What do you mean the vampires are alive?!” Queen Jeany exclaimed and stood up from her throne chair. “That is impossible! They are long dead!” Her loud exclamation echoed inside the throne room where all the royalties of Kingdom Monjour are holding a royal conference to discuss some serious matters. The queen is interrogating a village’s hunter, when it informed the guards that he saw creatures that are lurking inside the Dark Forest. Her Majesty was hyperventilating with her navy blue gown, shining silver crown, and expensive jewelries that she had bought from different kingdoms, except her necklace that is owned by her mother queen. The scared hunter that is hugging his bow jumped because of the furious queen. “I-It is true, Your Majesty,” he stammered and gulped intensely. “When I was targeting a reinder from the lake, I was stopped when I saw a pale man in his black clothes. He was showing his sharp fangs and red eyes under a narrow tree. I could still remembe
