Sarah's POV.Sarah doesn't know how she does it, but the respect she has for him as king is obvious in her reply.She's now alone with Katie."Where do we start from?" Sarah asks her."I really don't know. I don't know if saying yes was the right thing.""How about the very beginning? It's a very good place to start."She looks at Sarah with a confused face and seems to think about it. She suddenly smiles, "the very beginning it is then," she says.She drops her cutlery and cleans her mouth while standing up. Sarah can feel her excitement bloom so she also stands up."Let's go pick your Petals of Power," Katie says as she waits for Sarah who is finishing up in a much slower pace.Her words make Sarah look up, "my what of what?""Petals of power" she repeats. Sarah looks confused so she goes on to explain."The Petals of Power is a flower every witch possesses. It's the first thing you select as a witch or should I say, it chooses you.""Chooses you?""Yes, you'll understand when we ge
"Please tell me this is a joke," Jason asks the moment Sarah steps into the dining room that evening."What is supposed to be a joke?" she asks in obvious confusion."How am I supposed to think straight with you in a gown like that?" he asks like he really doesn't know how.Sarah smiled as she does a little twirl."I'll take that to mean you like the dress.""Like? I don't like the dress, I love the dress, you look beautiful" he amends."Thank you."He stands as she makes her way to the table and pulls out her chair.He gives her a kiss on her cheek when she gets close."Thanks," she mumbled."I didn't know you can be romantic," she says as she looks around the room.The dining room is grand and elegant, with high ceilings and ornate moldings. The walls are painted a deep purple color, and the room is illuminated by dozens of flickering candles, casting a warm glow over everything. Soft classical music plays in the background, adding to the romantic atmosphere.Sarah notices that the
Sarah chokes on her food and starts coughing. Jason quickly pours her a glass of water then stands up and moves to her side of the table. He starts to pat her back as the cough subsides."Are you okay?" he asks when she's calm.She turns her head to look at him with her eyes almost as wide as eggs.She looks cute with her face like that."Did you just say you're two hundred and five years old? Two hundred and five?!""Well, yes. Werewolves are immortal, didn't you know that?""Of course not. How am I supposed to know if no one tells me?"He moves back to his seat."There are stories about werewolves and vampires, and witches, and mermaids, and dragons, and a whole lot of other creatures in your world though.""You think we believe those stories? They're just fantasies, I still don't know if this is just one of those fantasies acting out in my dreams or if this is reality," she says."It's real. Every single creature you read about us real.""So you're saying, there is a world where t
Sarah turns to Jason and asks, “him?”“Yes baby,” he says.She pulls out of his arms and is almost bouncing on her feet in excitement.“Can I come along?” she asks, turning from one man to the other. She clasps her hands like she wants to pray, "please say yes," she pleads."He actually wants to meet you so, that would be a yes," Lukas says which makes her emit a squeal.She turns happy eyes to Jason and like he hasn't been there all along, informs him."I'm allowed to go," she all but screams."Yes, you are. I guess you're getting your wish to see him granted early. Is that because you're the Witch Supreme?" he asks her, taking her had in his as he moves towards the door."Maybe," she shrugs."What do you think he's here for?" heads Lukas as they descend a flight of stairs.The stairs in this palace are just too many."I don't know, to be honest, I don't even wish to hear it. The last time he was here was about Sarah, I wonder what it would be this time," Lukas replies.His words do
Jason feels a clog in his chest and his throat closes at the look on The High's face. It's like he was handed a truckload of gold.He swallows to get himself."Just so you know Abel, she really wanted to meet you. She literally pleaded," he says which earns him a glare from her.The High lifts questioning brows at her and she hits his back."You just had to say that now.Like I've not embarrassed myself enough," she says to him. "I just wanted to know what a thousand years old man looks like," she explains."It's a good thing I didn't disappoint. Afterall I look super duper hot," The High says with a smirk.She buries her face in Jason's shoulder as the guys start to laugh again."You guys are never going to let me hear the end of that are you?" she asks them."No," The High says."Never," Jason says."Absolutely not," Lukas says. It's the first thing he's said since."Damn it!" she mutters. ****************************Jason bangs the table with his fist as he springs up. "Fu
SARAHSarah opens her palm again and a tiny flame comes out, but it dies immediately. She grunts in frustration."If you keep doing it like that, you're never going to get it," Katrina says to her."Your powers are not an external part of you, your powers are you. You shouldn't be so tense when you want to make use of them. You and your powers are one but,you're the onw in charge," she goes on."I'm trying, really trying to understand you. I'm just not getting it. I'm the Witch Supreme, shouldn't this be easier for me?" Sarah asks her."I wouldn't know about that," Katrina replies."You keep saying I'm in charge, I'm in control, so why can't I just do something as simple as this. I've been at it for days, hours unending, but nothing seems to be happening. The best I've done is emit fucking dumb flames that won't even stay. I'm just tired, tired of this world, tired of this witch business, I'M TIRED OF EVERYTHING," she ends on a scream."Sarah you're trying your best.""And it's obviou
At this point, Katie is bent over from laughing so hard."I don't see what's funny," Sarah says with a frown."You wouldn't, you're the funny one. Come on," Katie says as she goes to grab her arm. "We've got a lot to do. It's the first time I'm shopping in the king's name, I can't wait to raid," she says dragging Sarah along.She stops and turns to the driver. "Thank you. We'll be back soon," she calls out to him and he bows.As Sarah and Katrina approach the boutique, Sarah can't help but stare in wonder at the sleek, angular building before her. The walls are made of a smooth, reflective material that seems to change color depending on the angle of the light. Large windows line the front of the store, showcasing some of the most exquisite and advanced fashion pieces that Sarah has ever seen. A sign above the entrance reads "Chronos Couture".Katrina leads Sarah inside, and as they step through the doors, Sarah feels as if she's stepped into a different world entirely. The air is
She grabs the handle of all three bags and starts to move. Sarah moves to take two of them from her."You're not to carry anything," Katie says."We came here to buy things for me, it only makes sense that I should be the one to carry them," Sarah argues."Okay, there's something you're not getting here. You are the Witch Supreme, who also happens to be the king's destined mate. In summary, you're going to be queen of Eldrida one day. It not only makes sense, it's only right that I be the one to carry the bags," Katie says, looking hurt that Sarah asked her to give them to her."Before any of that, I'm a person. Just a regular person. I'm not used to this world yet, I do not even know if I'll ever be used to this world. So, don't be offended I asked, but I'm not comfortable with you carrying my bags," Sarah says."How about this then?" Katie asks and hands one if the bags to her, "hold that, and I'll hold these.""Fair enough," Sarah says and they step out.The driver is waiting for t
She looks into his eyes, he means every word he said, she nods her head."Good. Now, we already established the fact that we don't know where tonight is going to lead us, but I would still love for you to enjoy the party. Whether or not we get Sheila tonight, the party is yours so you should own it, okay?" Jason says."Okay, my king. But promise me one thing," she requests."What's that?""You'll keep yourself safe, at all cost.""Not if it means you'd be at risk," he counters."So you had better ensure you keep us both safe, I can't be here...in this world, or any other without you.""I promise."She turns to Lukas, "that goes for you too. I don't want to lose anyone tonight," she tells him.He smiles at her. "Your wish is my command. You look beautiful, by the way, just like a darling, I didn't tell you that yet."She blushes a bit, "thank you.""Fuck off! She's my girl so I'm the only one that has the rights to compliment her. And for the last time, she's not your darling," Jason g
She turns wide eyes to her audience, "oh my God!" she repeats.With her hands over her mouth, Sarah moves to the mirror slowly. She points to the mirror and turns to the other women, "look at me, I look so beautiful!" she cries."I know right?" Hadiza says moving to join her in front of the mirror. "You are a natural beauty already, the makeup is not heavy so it just accentuates your features, I didn't even have to add extra lashes to your lashes because you have full and long lashes already."Sarah addresses Hadiza's reflection in the mirror. "Where I come from, anyone who can do a job half as good as this would make a lot of money, especially if they're working for celebrities," she tells her."Celebrities?" Katrina asks, coming to stand on Sarah's other side.Sarah nods, "you guys don't have them here," she says. "On a second thought, with the present circumstances I could be referred to as a celebrity so I think it's only right that I pay you for your service," she says to Hadiza.
Sensing his tone, Sarah quickly reassures him, “it’s nothing serious, I promise. I just want to get some books and maybe movies. It would be cool if I had my phone here with me, it’s just so boring and lonely here and now, I can’t even go out when I want to, it’s kind of…tiring?” she ends her explanation with a question.Jason is quiet for a while, Sarah takes a step forward closing the gap between them. She places her hand on his arm lightly, “Jace?” she prompts.“You prefer it over there than you do here, don’t you?” he finally asks.It’s Sarah’s turn to be quiet, then she starts to explain quietly. “Do I miss my world? Don’t make that face,” she says when he starts to scowl again, “no matter what you say, it’s where I grew up, it’s the world I knew. It’s my world.” She stops and doesn’t continue until he finally nods to show that he understands her.“So, I do miss being there, but I’d pick this world over it anytime. It’s really beautiful here for one and, I have friends here. I c
"Do I leave my hair up or down?" Sarah asks herself, trying both styles while looking in the mirror.She's dressed and set for Katrina's place. She dressed in one of the gowns that were in her closet so the women don't feel more intimidated than they already do. A knock on the door has her looking in that direction. "Come in."She sighs, it's Jason. He closes the door behind him and doesn't move further into the room."You didn't wait for me so we'd have dinner together last night, and you had your breakfast brought up to you this morning. Are you avoiding me?" he asks disbelievingly.At least he got the hint."Since you noticed that, why are you here?" she answers.He moves further into the room. "You really are avoiding me? What brought that on?" She stands up and goes to check out herself in the full-length mirror one last time. She'd picked a knee-length floral gown that cinched at the waist, with long sleeves.Winter had passed quickly, the weather was cooler now so she didn't
Sarah opens her mouth in awe at the sheer beauty of the dress. She can hear Katrina's surprised gasp. The gown is floor length with short sleeves that are off shoulders. It is fitted for the top to the waist, then it's a full skirt down to the floor. I wonder how many yards of material she used to make this dress. Sarah gets up like she's in a daze, she touches the gown and looks at Samantha. "Supreme?" Samantha prompts."It's so soft, I want to roll in it," she says. Sarah turns to Katrina, "I told you I was going to find the right dress, we just had to be patient. We found it."Katrina moves forward and also touches the dress, "I want to sleep in it."Sarah slaps Katrina's hand off the dress, "not this one, miss.""Can I try it on?" she asks Samantha. "Absolutely, I made it for you. Where would you change it though?""We'll go to my room. I would have said here, but I want to see what it looks like on my body." "Your room, Supreme?" Samantha asks. Sarah turns to her, "where else?
"What message do you come bearing?" Jason asks her."There is a woman here with her daughter, she seeks the supreme's audience, your grace.""A woman with her daughter, What woman is this?" Jason asks."She says she has a debt to pay to the supreme, your grace.""Oh, that must be Samantha," Katrina mutters and Sarah nods.Sarah stands up, "What is she here for though? Let's go see." Katrina gets up and they head for the door together."Maybe you both would like to explain who this Samantha is to me," Jason says in a voice that broods no argument."Jason. She's just a woman we met on the street about two weeks ago, her daughter almost got hit and I helped. I also sent her, a pair of boots, she loved them." Sarah explains.Jason looks at both of them like they're aliens, "You sent a woman a pair of boots?"Sarah sighs, "not a woman, a little girl, her name is Sapphire. The girl loved my boots so I sent her a pair of boots. She's waiting, can we go now?""We can, we certainly can. I didn
Sarah's party is just three days away. The country is a buzz with preparations. There are designs everywhere. Sarah has been getting gifts from different people, even people in other countries.She's gotten materials for clothes, hair accessories, jeweleries, and all sorts of stuff.Jason didn't tell her anything, and he ordered Katrina not to say anything, they both only told her everything was in place regarding her protection. One thing is missing though, her dress.Yes, you saw that right. She hasn't picked a dress yet."What exactly is it you want in your dress? You don't like what you e seen so far, you don't even know what you want so it can be designed for you, what, are you going to attend your own party dressed like a regular person?" Katrina is in her room and pacing around in frustration."I told you, two weeks is not a long time, but did you listen? No. We have just two days left, two, and you don't have a dress. I also do not have a dress because, according to you, I'm
**************************As Sarah and Katrina walk on the streets of Eldrida, they receive stares from the people, especially Sarah. She knows it's because of the cloths she's wearing.Katrina had picked out a pair of black leather pants and one of the jackets they got at Chronos. Sarah paired that with a pair of block heeled, black boots that stopped between her knees and her ankles. Most, if not all of the women of Eldrida wore their hair in braids. She was not going to put her beautiful locks in bondage.She couldn't get a hair curler, but there was an hair straightener in her room. She'd blown her hair and let it down in straight waves. She loved it.They were trying to hide the fact that they were staring, but they just couldn't. Some were even poking their heads out if their windows and others were pointing."A lot of people are staring," Sarah mentions."This was why I wanted you to taje the car, at least you wouldn't be seen by too many people," Katrina responds."T
SARAHKatrina comes in immediately Jason leaves. Sarah is still feeling hazy from the kiss Jason left her with so she sits on her bed. "Well, well, look at you. Aren't you just lucky?" Katrina asks as she goes to sit on the chair at Sarah's vanity."I am. Totally lucky. Why are you sitting there? You can come join me on the bed, it's just the two of us.""No way, that's disrespect to the king." Sarah is shocked. "What do you mean?""The king has rain on that bed, I can't just sit on it like it's a regular one," she explains."Is that a kind of rule? Like something that attracts punishment of some sort?""Of course not. It's not like he's going to find out if I do sleep on it. It's just not something I should do."They really reverence him."I get the fact that Jason is king, but not all kings are loved like you people love him.""Well, not every king is a king like him. He could have chosen to have the witches eradicated or ostracized like the kings in the other countries did, but h
