Trained to be perfect.
Three days in a week that I have trained with Noami. I was getting tired of the same thing everyday. It was like a daily routine where I run in the morning, run in the afternoon, dress up as a bargirl and run at midnight. I could also eat twice or once a day and also I complained to my mother about it and she only told me it was part of training.
I teleported to the field and was surprised to find Noami sitting before me. I'm so screwed. I was late for the afternoon session. A guard stood by her side and she was sitting on a chair. She looked up, "You're late." She stated.
"I'm sorry, Na…"
"Oh shut up. Kneel down." She commanded, "Eh…." She looked away and by the time she turned, I was already on my knees.
"Hands up, separate your hands while you do that. Then close your eyes."
I had been like this for hours, my
Caught Julia as a spy."Stefan needs to get back to his senses. I want to make him understand that he needs to stay with you during the war. He can't go on, fucking Wendy and being a puppy to his dad."My throat dried up and a sudden rage started building inside me. I folded my lips together and thought of what to do. "What are we waiting for?." I questioned and all eyes looked at me."Should we wait for war to break out before we do something?." I asked again. I looked from Noami to my mom by her right side, and from Mr. Brandy to Mrs Maggret. "Elena, you're not strong enough to fight." Mom started.."She's right…" Noami added and looked up to my face, "I mean Elena's right. Should we wait for the war to break out before we do something?." She repeated my question to mom. This was the first time that I saw Noami this tired. I was also tired, what are we waiting for before we strik
A talk with Julia."Julia?." I called when I walked in. She looked up at me and shifted uncomfortably on the bed. She broke into tears. "Oh baby.." I felt drawn and instantly moved to sit with her. I held her shoulder and wiped her tears away."I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She cried out and sniffed.."No girl. Don't apologize to me. Go to mom because she clearly needs your apologies." I said to her, "She wouldn't open the door. Mom has shut me out of her life forever." I shake my head negatively."Mom hasn't done any of that. She's just angry, give her time, you'll see her come by." I mumbled."You don't know mom, look.. That she ever listened to you was because you're the special daughter. You've always been after her heart. Have you noticed anything you do wrong, she praises you. She doesn't care if you're wrong or not, she forgives you without a second thought."
Realized my mistakes.~Juliana Wilson.~After mom left, I stood up too and ran to my room not listening to Elena's call from behind. I opened my door and laid flat on the bed. I wept..The door opened and I didn't care to look at the door but I knew who was at the door. "Go away." I said."Go away?." The male voice asked, and I quickly raised up my face to see Ethan walking into the room. My heart skipped and I wiped my tears away then sat up."What are you doing here?." I asked, shifting back so that my back was resting against the bed board. He looked up, "Aren't you happy to see me?." He asked back and I rolled my eyes at him."Never mind. What was that all about?. I just came in to see you talking to Elena and running upstairs in tears." I raised my brows. He was there the whole time."Actually mom caught me an
Finally in Hill town.~Elena Wilson."Do you see them over there?,These are the slaves that were brought in from Alagba village." I could see a hunter push a lady roughly, asking her to move. I looked at Naomi, she still had a bandage on her head and the scars on her legs were almost fading. We were behind a tree, watching from the top as they made those girls line up.She bent down, took a mud from the soil and rubbed it on my forehead, then she hit me on my face, "What the..?." I raised my voice but she put her hand on my mouth so as not to make a noise."Shut up." She whispered and I knocked her hand off my mouth with a glare. I raised my thumb to my mouth and winced, there must be a small cut at the spot. "Why did you do that?.""You think they won't abduct you without a fight. Stop playing dumb."She replied rudely.Her eyes widene
As a personal maid."Get dressed." Grace wheezed out pointing at a battered, wooden wardrobe in between two neatly made beds, i walked toward it and opened it without looking at them and I wasn't wholly surprised seeing an old-fashioned maid's uniform, black with white apron and white lace, which was hanging on a old coat hanger.A white, cotton dress hung behind it. After searching through the largely empty draws, I eventually found some underwear. I pulled them out of the drawer and turned to face Bosy and Grace."Grace, we're out of uniforms, we have to let the chief maid know about it." Bosy muttered into Grace's ear."Isn't she dressed yet?." The door opened and the woman who had walked in earlier stood at the entrance. She looked at me for a while, "I'll wait for you outside." She simply stated and closed back the door.Grace and Bosy walked out of the room, leavi
Caught up by himHis bathroom was as beautiful and large as it was. There was no shower but a large jacuzzi style bathtub. I started to run the bath until steam was billowing around and condensing on the mirror.I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, my face was smeared with dirt and my bleached gold hair was falling messily on my shoulders. I could now see why he was disgustedly looking at me earlier but I do not find myself smelling awfully.The hot bath was tempting me and Stefan seemed preoccupied with his laptop. I wandered over the door and closed it under the pretense of collecting a towel from the rack. As quietly as I could, I bolted the door and ran across the room to the bathtub. My feet made no sound on the tiled floor. I knew I would be quick if I didn't want Stefan to discover me.It was foolish, I knew but the feeling of dirtiness hung around me and I wanted to be
Rendering explanationI dressed up and came out. There was a knock at the door so I strolled towards it and opened. A guard was standing before me and I was looking at him strangely."Young master Stefan asked me to fetch you." For a moment, I thought my heart stopped beating. Is he back already?, oh mehn."What?." I almost shouted. He was staring at me strangely. He turned to leave but stopped, "Any problem?." He asked me."Not at all." I replied but he hesitated to leave."If you have problems in the future, you can let me know," I narrowed my eyes on him, is it me or am I watching this guy act weird?. He drew closer and I tilted my head back, "I'm the spy from Noami."Ooh. He's one of the Noami's men. And yes, I've been waiting to see him. Noami told me that her spy was going to show itself once I arrived.
Blood sealed promise."We had it." I said the earliest thought that came to my mind. He flickered his lashes confusedly until it dawned on him. "What?""Yes. It was one night and…" I started but his hand in the air got my lips clamped. I swallowed up and saw him stand, he started walking towards me while I stepped backward in fear, but unfortunately my back hit the glass door in no time and I flinched.He stopped in front of me and drawned his face closer, we were very close to each other and our lips were almost touching. I gulped down and savored his scent."I do not find myself doing such with you, but if you feel like doing it with me, I'm available." He wheezed out and my eyes grew wide, immediately he grabbed my hair and I screamed."And if I find out that you are here for a mission, I'll cut your head off your shoulder." He threatened deadly and ya
Happy ending."Alright. I do not want to bore you with my stories, I'm gonna get straight to the point." He pointed at Noami."Little wench, thinking you can kill me?. Elysia tried and failed, taking after your mom and searching for me all your life.""I'll fucking kill you. I'll fucking cut your throat and stab your dead body multiple times." Noami spat out angrily."Take her away." He ordered his men. The men started coming toward me. "Don't touch me. Don't you…" They released the bind and dragged me out of the seat, Stefan was lunging to pull out but he couldn't, he was damn weak."You'll watch your Abbey die.." He yelled at Noami while I screamed."Shut up!!." He warned and I clasped my lips shut.~
Camillia of mortality.The door banged open and a man walked in. I was staring at him in near wonder. He was...familiar. For a moment, I wasn't sure what it was that struck me as so familiar. He was tall and dangerous looking, but as I looked at him, I noticed scars lining parts of his flesh across his features as if he was well-versed in fighting. His face was dark and serious.It was when I noticed his other features that i realized what made him so familiar. His hair was short and blonde, curled up at the end. His eyes were grey to blue, strong cheekbones that were near mirror images of Stefan. Just that he was older and looked to be in his late forty.This was Stefan's father, the man who had wanted to kill me. "You must have remembered me. I did you some good anyway. The vampire prince who had disturbed you all your life. Well, no one can hurt my boys and go free." He finished strongly, with
Shocked to the bone. "Where are the others?."Stefan looked up and of course, my heart quickened slightly when I saw what he was wearing. Just a plain apple green button- down, dark blue jeans and his black converse, nothing unusual or elegant, but hell he looks damn good. His dirty blonde hair was untidy, his grey-blue eyes bored into mine."They're training out. I've been waiting for you to wake up." He replied tossing a pancake on the plate."Smells nice." I mumbled and started walking towards him."Yeah but it isn't for you." He said,I cocked my brows,"What do you mean?.""I'm not cooking for you. This is for me.""Are you kidding me?. Give me that!." I shouted and he teleported to the other side of the kitchen. My eyes searched on the table and didn't find the plate of t
: Saved the Sirens."And only you knew about this?." I asked her. She shook her head negatively."Few of the townsmen knew. Now that you're in charge, and the princess is missing, I decided to let you know." She said,"What was her last instruction on the site?." I asked her."She hasn't given an order.""Why don't we start taking people to the site?. I mean the vampires could decide to invade the lands and you know what it means.." Julia suggested.We both nodded affirmatively to her suggestion."While we move, get men to start arranging people in crowds, we are moving now." I instructed. Turning to the other men, "let's go."~I didn't want to risk any of my men's lives. We were no match for the hunters either. That was why I picked the strongest team to follow me inside. The security has doubled and no one
: The war."We're losing, the vampires have taken over the coast. I also heard the dark witches are helping them." The messengers reported.."Keep your eyes on the vampires. While I talk to your father." Mom said darkly, looking at the twins as if they were their father and disappeared out of the room.We had been standing around the table, the war already broke out and the vampires had accommodated other species against us. I had wished to leave the castle but none of them wanted me to move an inch. I am the chosen one, people look up to me for protection but the white witches guarded me down like their life depended on them.Jake was worse than I thought. He would fight against the other clans and make them his cohorts by force or you die. I heard he wiped off the Wendigo. Wendigos are very powerful creatures with the same strength level as an Alpha Werewolf. Something that makes
~Previously~~Previously~Royal princess and Stefan Brown."I see war, in the future your life depends on your mate. It is her love that can save you from her.""How?,""Who?." I questioned."Have you wondered how a human could be this powerful, fearless and deadly?." She could be referring to Noami. Only Noami's strength had marvelled me. She survived the silver bullet, she is beyond human."I think you know what I am talking about. Think.., fearless, bold, dangerous and keep to her words…""She is an Uran?." I asked."She is Ophelia, keeper of the moon."Brief introduction of Uran.Urans are humans, born as keepers. They are bold, fearless and deadly. They keep to their promises till death. Supernaturals fear them greatly, they don't s
A heartbreaking news.~Stefan's pov~I'm so angry that my mate has to go through a lot. All I wanted now was to take away her pain even if it meant killing the only person that traumatized her.Standing in front of the royal princess's office, I opened the door and walked in. Here, she stood quite a distance away from me."I know you would come." She said,I started walking further but stopped in the middle of the large office. "You know everything, why don't you start by telling me what really happened to my mate?." I asked.She scoffed at first and then it turned to a real long laugh. She turned to look at me."Why do you think that I always disagree with you?." I shrugged…"Because you're my mother who didn't take me as your son." I replied.She nodded, "Accurate. I gave birth to you b
Birthday wishes II."It seems that everyone knows you turned a year older except me. In my eyes, you are exactly the way that you were when I met you for the first time – stunning and gorgeous. Happy birthday, Elena...” Cali was the first to hand me a gift. "Thank you," I smiled at her and opened the box. It was a silver wrist watch, much bigger than the one kept on top of the drawer.“Congratulations honey! You have circled the Sun again and it’s your Birthday! I wish you the best, and a seven-course dinner tonight." Ava said and her mate handed me two boxes."Sorry Ava. We have plans tonight." Stefan said, giving her a glare. I pinched him and he let out a yelp and ran out of the bed. "Thanks Ava. I would love to eat them all. Yum! Yum!!." We laughed, and I opened the box to see a beautiful red dinner gown. "Wow, it's beautiful.." I mumbled and hugged her. "Thank you."&
Birthday wishes."Oh come on. I thought you would tell each other things.." Ava said disappointedly."Okay. I'm very angry with you now." Cali shouted and got up. Quickly, I caught her arm before she could move an inch. "I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you about it. You know I would do that if I had the chance. There were things lurking over, so many troubles, thoughts or even Stefan himself would make you forget all."I explained..She turned, smiled and sat back down beside me. I knew she wouldn't be angry with me for a long time. "So we found out that Stefan was my foster mother's son. It was like the moon goddess was shipping us into siblings rather than the actual soulmates." I joked."I know right?. What if..the moon goddess asks you to reject Stefan as a mate and so you two can become siblings.?" Cali asked, making Ava laugh. She's so unbelievable."A
