" Your Highness...we...we weren't informed prior of your return."

One of the servants speaks. While taking Noah's short.Bowing and Noah just sighs. Sitting on the mattress of his bed. Leaning back on his palms resting on the bed.

" Well now that you know. Prepare something delicious. I am starving."

" Of course your Highness. I will just inform the cooks to prepare your favourite."

With this the man turns around to leave, when Noah's voice stops him.

" Listen "

" Yes your Highness."

" It's been more than an hour since I came. Why isn't Uncle Charlie here?"

" I am afraid, your Highness. Sir is busy with some urgent matter. He will be here as soon as he can."

" Fine. Go."

Noah dismisses the person. Running his fingers through his hair to lay back on his bed. 18 years. This place feels more foreign than home. But then he just had to close his eyes and the memories come flashing in.

" Slow down Noah! You will get hurt!"

" Come catch me momma!!"

His 7 year old self giggles and his voice echoes around, a small smile tugs on Noah's lips. With eyes still closed. As the memories feel just like yesterday.

When suddenly the giggles get replaced by cries. Desperate and wailing. And sweat drenched Noah's forehead. His heartbeat escalates as he shakes his head in a no.

Hearing his father's voice. Reliving in the same memory again. His vision taking him back to that vision in the master bedroom.

" Noooooo my Lioness! You have to wake up...no please look at me... please! Ahhhhhh!"

He finds his young self standing there. Looking at her still eyes. Eyes that had life just few seconds ago. Eyes that looked at him with love and adoration.

The birthday present she gave him on his last birthday. Tightly held in his hands as he gathers enough strength to ask her.

" Mom?"

He whispers to only hear another scream and Noah gets up from his dream. Looking around frantically to only realise it was a dream. A nightmare to be exact.

He thought he had escaped them. But he knew better.

He will never be able to run from his past.

He will never be able to run from her.

Cleaning the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. He gets up. Desperate to get some fresh air ,to only stop seeing Charlie enter his room.

" Ah my boy! Damn look at you! You have grown up to be a real heartthrob."

With this Charlie pulls Noah to a hug to only find him standing still . Noah doesn't hug back, his body stiff. And Charlie retreats. The smile dropped from his face.

Rubbing his neck awkwardly. The man with grey beard settles with bowing instead. Realising maybe Noah wasn't as happy to see him.

When the boy who has now grown up to be a strong man. Wraps his arms around him. Hugging him.

Not exchanging any words. Just enjoying a loved ones embrace.

Noah stood surprised. Not expecting this. But it was enough to show him . There is still some warmness and compassion left in what they called the ice King.

" Hello Charlie. How has it been all these years?"

Noah speaks in a business tone and Charles hides a smile. Settling down. Noah pours drinks. Clinking glasses with Charlie to celebrate his return.

" It's been a bit lonely. But the work keeps one busy. You tell. How were your expeditions?"

" Heard you travelled half of the world already?"

Noah nods. Not saying much. Just tracing the rim of his glass with his fingers, staring at the liquid. Placing his hand on Noah's thigh, Charlie brings him out of his trance.

" What's it ? You look worried."

Noah gets up. Hiding his features from Charlie's eyes. Looking outside the window.

" Nothing. "

Charlie sighs getting up and approaching him from behind.

" See Noah. I know why you are here after so many years. But you don't have to. There is no pressure on you. Your father has left enough. You can easily live a peaceful life. There is no need to stay here and be the next King-"

Noah turns around. His grey eyes determined and fists clenched.

" I am the King, uncle Charlie. Don't you ever again suggest such things. It's my duty to protect these people and take care of them. My parents always wanted me to be the best werewolf King in the history."

" And I will prove them. I will fulfill their dreams."

Charlie nods. Lowering his eyes. To dare to ask the next question.

" That's only possible if you select a Queen , Noah. The council is meeting in a week to remove you from your position and conduct voting for the next King."

" How will be find a girl at such a short notice."

Noah looks up at Charlie. His next words making a deadly silence to follow.

" We don't need to find anyone. Your next Queen will be the girl I choose 18 years back."

Charlie 's mouth opens and closes. No words leaving his lips. He stood flabbergasted. Beads of sweat on his forehead.

" Th- that girl?"

Noah looks unfazed. His eyes suddenly turning cold and emotionless. Making even Charlie to gulp.

" Yes. That very girl. Wasn't she the emergency you were attending to before you came here."

Charlie lowers his eyes. Not knowing what to say. The King got him but the very idea seemed disastrous to him. How can that girl be a Queen?

It was impossible.

" I...she....I..."

" What happened ? Is she dead?"

" No! She is very much alive...she..."

Charlie speaks up immediately. His hands shooting up. Trying to explain. But he failing to find the words.

" Did she do something after I left?"

" No ..she didn't. We have kept her on sedatives and medicines all these years. Her powers are...subdued successfully."

" Well that's great then. It's decided then-"

" But Noah. How can that girl be your Queen....she...she murdered your moth-'

Noah shuts him up by showing him his hand. His aura turning more dark and dangerous.

" Do what I say. I respect you doesn't mean you can control me Uncle Charlie. "

" Bring her to me. Now"

" Here?Now?"

Charlie asks shocked.

" But the girl hasn't left that dungeon in 18 years ! "

Gulping the drink. Sitting down. Noah speaks one last time.

" I hate repeating myself. I don't care in what condition she is. Get here here. Now!"

Charlie knew it was no use now. He will have to see her himself to understand what he meant. There was no other way now. He will change his decision on his own.

No one would want that girl even as a mate.

Let alone a Queen.

Noah will have to see to believe.

" Okay"

With this Charlie turns to leave, looking back one last time over his shoulder. His heart thudding. To find Noah lost in thoughts. The whiskey glass tightly held in his hand.

It was very difficult to understand the man the young Prince has become. But Charlie could see one thing clearly.

From being a joyous, cheerful and caring little boy. He has turned into a cold, detached soul.

And he couldn't blame her. No one could.

As there was only one person to blame for it...her.

The demon girl.

    Noah's povThe girls body was shuddering in my arms. Her chest was heaving up and down and my hand was still placed on her lips. Silencing her.Her thrashing legs have seized now. Her neck submitted to a side as my canines finished their claim on her.No struggle from her side made it much easier. The girl was nothing but a lifeless doll now. There 18 years in the dungeon have already killed a part of her soul. I could see it quite clearly but if you ask I feel regret for treating her like this?The truth will be that no. I don't feel bad. Because she deserved all this and she knew this better herself. Retreating I see blood trail down her neck to reach her chest. My eyes take in my fresh mark on her neck. And I feel content.Well at least the first part was done. Now no one will question her position in the council.Removing my palms from her lips, I feel her hot breath hit my palms and I clench my hands. Her body leaning back on me, drained and tired.Getting up. I see her fall dow

Her body shaking uncontrollably." pl...ah... please....sorr...y.."The only words she stutters pathetically and he warns her. Slamming his fists on the wall again. More closer to her face this time. Drawing blood." Shut the fuck up DAMMIT! Don't open your useless mouth till I ask you to speak! Understood!"His finger presses on her lips , warning her. And she gulps. Seeing his controls struggle. Their eyes clashed when she decided to lower her gaze. Rubbing the bridge of his nose,staring at the thin petite lifeless girl. He fails to conclude what is to be done about her. His anger simming down a bit.His thoughts drifting to the task at hand. What has been done is done. He can't change it.But he can still bring his little sister back.

The girl was really obedient and submissive. Just perfect for her role. Stepping closer I see her blindfold wet with tears. Body trembling and sweat covering her hideous clothes.I guess this is enough for test 1.It was time for test 2 now." Get up."She flinches hearing my voice. But abide none the less. Resting her palms on the floor. She tries to get up. Her legs trembling. And before she could stand up straight. She falls down with a thud, her legs giving away." Ahhh"I do nothing to help. Folding my arms on my chest.I take in her struggles. Her breathing heavy and palms clenched." Again"I speak in a dangerous voice not giving her time to rest. And she gets back to the task at hand. Struggling to life herself up. She succeeds this time. Turning around to face to me." 7 steps to your left. Get

So technically speaking she didn't break my trust.She was still running. Ready for test 3.But before that I have to give her a little punishment for being stupid enough to think she could kill herself so easily and escape this.So here we were.Still in the jungle late at night. Her petite frame shivering from the cold. Hair and clothes all wet. Head lowered. When I order."Stand straight and press your back on the tree bark"She lifts her head slightly, eyes still lowered.

    Elora's povI was afraid.I won't lie. The King has left me here in the dark all alone. Tied, drenched in water. Hungry and tired.My body was feeling too weak. And being in an unfamiliar environment didn't help. I was used to the pin drop silence of the dungeon.But here? There were sounds. Unique sounds which I haven't heard before.Sounds belonging to insects and animals, for whom this forest was their habitat. Their home.I thought they were harmless but my thought process was proved wrong when I felt something crawling up my legs.I thought it to be my hallucination.But a similar tickling feeling trails through my back. And that's when I knew. It was indeed a forest insect. And not just one. There were many." Ahh....what..is it ..ahh..."I grunt in irritation. Trying to thrash in my bounds. To only have my wrists rub against the tree bark. Leaving marks.I thought the insects will leave or shake off if I thrash.But it did the opposite.A sharp pain emits in my

    Elora/ Mia's povI have always thought sitting in those dark dungeons that good never wins over evil. If that was true, then I wouldn't be in the dungeons in the first place.I wouldn't have a demon living inside me.I wouldn't have killed innocents.I never thought I was good. I knew I was evil. I knew what I did was what a villain would do and not a super hero. I knew I deserved the pain and suffering in the dungeon.I knew I deserved his hatred.But what I never realised was that what meets the eye is never the truth. I always thought my demon was evil but then that day my demon helped me escape from Noah and lie to him.I knew it was not the demon. But the witches who controlled him and made him evil.I realised that while these witches portrayed me to be the bad one...it was not me. It was them.Staring at Noah's barely conscious body in my arms. I see life leaving his body with every passing second. But the worst part, I couldn't do anything to save him.If I be honest here, I

    The crowd flinches , seeing the metal studded whip hit the werewolf King. The impact enough to tear his skin, drawing out blood. He doesn't protest nor does he plead.Staring into those pitch black eyes, he accepted his punishment from her hands. Even though she was not consciously doing this, he knew he deserved it and much more than that.He lost count, seconds turn into minutes. And soon he got oblivious to all the pains.When he came here today, he knew he may die. And he was prepared for it.But, before dying. He knew he has to do one thing. He has to save her.At all costs.The whipping sound seizes as Celeste stops Elora. Stepping forward she stares at the barely conscious Alpha King. His shirt was red with blood, not even an inch of chest was left without whip marks. And blood was flowing like a stream. Pooling near his feet.Having lost too much blood. He could barely stay conscious. And Celeste smirks seeing this.Opening the chains blinding him. She sees his body fall dow

    The dark night was witnessing one of the most horrendous events, ever being commited. The witches sat at the seats, enjoying the show while two bodies were handing against a wooden post in the forest . Wolfsbane coated chains tying them. The people stood around, making a circle. To have their souls tremble seeing the atrocities getting commited.Their eyes fixed on the girl who stood in the centre with a whip in her hand. The so called queen or rather the girl they thought was the healer, was actually the demon.With eyes pitch black and aura deadly, she was acting just as a puppet.Waiting for the orders.Her pitch black eyes void of any emotion. Staring at a begging Ivy, she stares blankly." Don't do this please...let my brother and Ryan go please! Don't do this!"Ivy begs the witches, who just enjoy her pains. Finding humour in this . Turning to Mia, Ivy tries to bring her back to no avail." Wake up from the spell Mia... please!"There was no sign of the girl Mia in those black

We both attack together.Twisting their neck while muffling their screams with our palms.They thrash for a few seconds to go still and we let them go. Making their body fall down with a thud. " Everyone attack now!"I order my people, to see the guards getting taken down everywhere. Looking at the old rusted door in front, we make our way inside.To be only welcomed with a deadly silence." Something is off"Ryan says and I couldn't agree less with him. The eerie silence making an uneasiness to settle in my chest.
