DANIEL'S POV.It shook me the way Kimberley ran out but I wasn't myself yet and my brain tried slowly to process exactly what was happening.The sword that I thought most powerful had been rendered useless by someone I had considered harmless and Kimberly had taken the sword in its powerless state and had run after the enemy who was an Alpha.I gasped and called my stunned and shaken men to order, they hadn't even noticed Kimberley run out, they were so lost in the fact that the sword we considered our pressure was now gone.I sent them out to chase Kimberly and bring her back and I also went out myself to look for her but maybe it was the wrong direction I took but rode for hours searching for Kimberly, I was tired but I knew I couldn't stop searching for Kimberly.It was late in the evening when I decided to turn back. I knew my men surely must have found her since I didn't. I raced back to the Palace and it was night when I got back.I walked into the Palace quickly and my guards
DANIEL'S POVI was immersed in looking at the sword, wondering what could have happened, why did it explode? Had it taken in too much power or probably dark magic? Everyone was still too scared to move near the sword, afraid it might explode a second time, I looked around at the throne room, everything was in disarray. The breakable pieces were scattered in a thousand pieces on the floor. Nothing was in its right place anymore. Luckily, we had all run far enough for the blast not to be strong enough to blow us off our feet."I'm afraid it has sucked in too much power." The eldest lady in the Class of the Noble women said but my mind had moved from the sword. It was back to Ari and the outsiders. "For now, we'll let it be, we'll find a solution to it later but right now we have to call in all the outsiders, Ari might not be the only spy," I said but the Eldest woman in the room spoke up breaking the silence."This sword exploding is just as important as the outsiders and whether or n
KIMBERLY'S POV.I ran blindly out of fear. The forest was dark but I could recognize every part where Ari and the kids walked.I started to cry, out of fear and out of sadness.It took me a long time before I found my way out and as I ran out to the street, far away I saw lights all going around as though they were on a search.They were searching for me.I ran towards the light's direction waving my hand and shouting.Finally, some of the spotted me and they came for me.As I saw Daniel, afar off, going in another direction, I screamed."Daniel!" That was all it took for him to turn back. He turned immediately and ran towards me, he even got to me before his guards that had spotted me first. "Kimberly! Are you alright? What happened? Where did you go?" He asked then looked at me, I was still in my nightgown."I don't know., I whispered as I had no idea what I was doing so far away from the castle."The whole Palace has been searching for you for hours Kimberly, what happened? " He
KIMBERLY'S POV.I stayed awake a long while after Daniel had gone. I was terrified of sleeping and whatever might happen and the light was doing a good job of keeping me awake.But somewhere along the long hours of staring at the ceiling, I fell asleep and I experienced the most horrible dream ever.I was in my room when I suddenly sat up feeling alarmed for no reason. My light was off and my door opened. Ari came in looking as handsome as ever and he looked calm, I shifted back in my bed as he took my bedside stool and sat on it facing me."Kimberly. Kimberly. Kimberly..." He said slowly in one breath and I looked at him in fear."What are you doing here? Why are you haunting me?" I asked and he laughed."How's being an Alpha, you're not exercising your powers yet are you?" He asked and I swallowed. "Why did you do it, Kimberly? How could you kill a man?" He asked and I shook my head."I didn't intend to, I didn't know what came over me, I can't explain it. I liked you so why did
DANIEL'S POV.I turned around the moment I heard the voice of the Elders.Did they want to lock her up? Why?Immediately I asked myself that question, I knew it was stupid. She had just killed an innocent person with no knowledge of how she had done it and she had no reason."Let's talk about it. " I said standing up but Kimberly took my hands."Don't leave me." She whispered frantically."I'll be right back Kimberly., I said but she started to sob and held on to me even tighter."No.." She whispered and looked at me pleadingly.It broke my heart. I was sure it was just as I didn't understand anything happening to her, she also didn't understand what was wrong with her and I wanted to be there with her."Can we talk later?" I asked the Elders but they didn't look satisfied. "I'll stay with her, and I'll make sure she's not left unwatched., I said but Elder James spoke up."Would anyon
DANIEL'S POV My heart dropped at the message I had been given. I didn't want to ask again because I didn't want to hear it louder and clearer. I looked at Kimberly, hoping she hadn't heard but it turned out she heard. "Take me to her," I said to Drew and we left my room together. He took me to where the dead body of the girl was kept and I pulled back the sheets and examined the wound. The slashes were indeed deep and violent. I sighed and closed my eyes and observed a minute silence for her. Afterward, I closed the sheets and I felt truly sorry. She didn't have to die. I wish we had managed to save her. She just happened to fall victim to something no one could be blamed for. "Drew. We need to call the... Oh, Alpha Daniel." One of my guards said coming in. I raised a hand dismissively. "You were saying something," Drew said."Oh never mind. I was told to inform you we needed to see the Alpha but here he is. Alpha, I'm afraid we'd need your presence at the meeting with the ou
DANIEL'S POVThe sword would be gone. Just like that? It hadn't been long since we found solace in it, so we had to return it."Return it? Do we have to return it?" I asked wondering why we had to be that extreme. Even going back to that Kingdom alone wasn't something I wanted to do."You might decide not to return it but I'm just trying to state how far the sword must be from us. It would have to be sheathed and bound with magic, I'm afraid the sword is only going to bring us danger and nothing more." Lucas said and I felt down. I got down from the throne and picked up the sword. It was as light as ever, I looked at it and went out with it to the battlefield.I unsheathed it but what I saw wasn't so good. The moment I unsheathed it, it started to vibrate due to the energy coursing through it. I looked at it as blue sparks flew around it and power slowly surrounded the shiny blade.I raised it high and slashed the air and although this time, I was prepared for it, I was still blown b
DANIEL'S POVAs I screamed, her eyes which had been closed all along flew open and her breathing came hard and fast, she looked around at the room, at me in my shocked state, and then at the knife.She looked at it and dropped it on the floor as if she had been caught in her act.She knew whatever she did in the dream was happening in reality, she knew If she had sliced her own throat, she'd die in reality. Yet, she had done it. She wasn't shocked by the sight of the knife on her own throat.She sniffed and began to cry."I'm sorry. I just couldn't... I'm sorry." She said and kept on apologizing.I went and hugged her.Of course, I was mad at her for even considering taking her own life but I was scared. If she hadn't woken up then I'd probably be the one going through trauma next."I was just so scared. He was going to kill me. I didn't know what to do next." She said still sobbing and I stroked her head while trying not
KIMBERLY'S POVI turned back to him and pulled him in a tight hug."You have to let me go, Daniel, I can't stay here forever," I said moved to tears."Then stay for one more day. Just one more day and let's forget everything that's happening. Let me do all the things I wished to do with you." He said and I nodded because all I wanted to do was leave him smiling."Tell me all you want to do with me," I said and he led me to the Kitchen, took a note, and started to write.He wished to cook with me, braid my hair, he wished for us to tell stories late in the night, he wished for us to fly high in the sky together, he wished for us to sail on a boat, just the both of us, he wished to kiss me one more time, he wished to fall asleep in my arms.He continued to write but realized all those things would be hard to complete in one night then he stopped and looked at me."This would do." He said."How would we fly?" I asked and he smiled."There's a way." He said and we went to the back of the
DANIEL'S POVMy heart broke all over in a thousand pieces and I couldn't say a word. I knew it. I saw it coming. I already expected it but once more I was the one standing in the rain with no one to shield me from it. I knew Andre wouldn't let her go just like that, he would have let her know she was his Luna and that she had to stay.When she saw I couldn't form words, she spoke."I got back my memories. A friend helped me with it. I remember everything. I don't want you to be sad Daniel, I don't want it. I'm grateful for everything you've done for me and I wish I could repay you but nothing I do would ever be enough." She said and I nodded."You recall everything?" I asked and reasoned that could be the only explanation. She just would never stop loving Andre, there was no space for me in her heart.~I couldn't speak as memories of I and Kimberly flooded my mind. How had I come so far, how had I fallen in love with her to the point of no return? She was someone else's. How had I
KIMBERLY'S POVAndre kept on asking me what had happened but large tears formed in my eyes and dropped faster than rain.I remembered everything. Nothing was left out. I knew who I was, I knew who he was.Finally, I was back to him, Andre, I had loved and missed him for so long.I looked at him and touched his face, not believing he was right in front of me. Did he forgive me for leaving when he had told me not to? I couldn't believe I was back where I had always longed to be.He was the one I loved, Daniel was my friend. A friend I held dear to my heart. That was why I had been so confused without my memories. I and Daniel were thriving on friendly love. He knew I wouldn't return, and he had told me."Kimberly. Talk to me please." Andre said and I pulled him to me and hugged him tight."I loved you. All I wanted was for you to love me, I remember everything now, the ink from Bloom, it was so I could remember. Andre, I'm sorry for leaving, a lot of things happened, that was why I coul
KIMBERLY'S POV"What's the matter?" I heard Andre say and shook because I didn't even hear the door open nor did I expect him to walk in. "Um .. it's just ..." I said but didn't know how to explain it. He walked to me and took the bottle."This is no ordinary liquid." He said and looked at me."Bloom gave it to me, um, you might not know her.." I said but he raised his eyebrows."Bloom? Do not go near her. That witch's evil, she might be trying to get back at me with you because you might not know but I destroyed her Kingdom. So this is the danger she said you were bringing.""Who?" I asked and he smirked."Just an old lady." He replied and I stood up."She forgave you because I helped her get her necklace," I said and my eyes widened as he looked shocked."You helped her what??" He asked and I fell to the bed and stood immediately."We're friends," I said and he shook the ink bottle."I'm keeping this, get ready for the ball." He said and left the room. He wouldn't understand. There
ANDRE'S POVI smiled as I realized Kimberly wasn't going to leave the toilet till I left. It was amusing. I went to her mirror and looked in it, it was then I realized I hadn't been that happy in a long time when she left, there were so many horrible things I did to try to fill the hole that she had left in my heart and now that I looked back, those people didn't have to suffer. I left the room thinking of the previous night, it had been something I hadn't experienced in a long time. This put the smile back on my lips, she had become shier than before.As I walked to my quarters, I saw Maya hitting her head on my door, I raised a brow, she seemed to be drunk.I walked to her and stood behind her and it took a minute before she noticed me."Oh, it's Andre! My love!! The guy who broke my heart mercilessly and was able to wander around having a romance with another lady. " She said and placed her hands on my chest looking at me completely drunk."Is that why you've been at my door? You
KIMBERLY'S POV"What's that?" Andre asked and I looked back at him and shook my head but the moment I looked back, there was just an old dark tree with bent branches.I sighed. There was nothing. It was just my mind playing pranks on me. Then I saw the flowers, those pretty flowers that I had seen Andre give me in my memory. Then I looked beside me and my mind made it so vivid it was as though me of that day was staring at those flowers with me and Andre came to my side."The flowers you loved." He said and went deeper into the garden and plucked them for me.Then I remembered everything about that day, I had been feeling sad but happened to chance on the flowers and Andre happened to give it to me."Here." He said putting some in my hair and I looked at him. He made everything feel so real like I was really in love with him."Why are you staring at me?" He asked as he looked at me with a smile.I shook my head slowly."Just recalling something," I said.~We walked hand in hand to di
KIMBERLY'S POVI hadn't even made it past the Luna's quarters when I saw him coming through the double doors looking at me and I looked at all the maids stationed there who looked away.How did they do it? How did they send word to him without saying a word here?He walked to me and turned me around."I'm leaving!" I said but he pushed me back the way I came."Save the drama for the four walls. Not with the eyes and ears all around." He said in a low voice."Oh really is there a place in this Palace where you don't know what's going on?" I asked in anger but he pushed me inside my room and locked the door. "There isn't." He said briefly and looked at the things I had packed. "I thought we agreed on staying till you regained your memory." He said and I looked at him straight in the eye."I simply decided I didn't want to stay with a liar," I said and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath."You have to explain yourself well." He said leaning against the door."Just moments ago, I
ANDRE'S POVI didn't think she thought she was going to leave just like that.If only she knew how I almost went crazy just searching for her and waiting for her, she wouldn't say she was leaving and where was she going to that was so important than staying here at my Kingdom with me. She was my Luna."You are my Luna., I told her and she replied sharply."I am not your Luna." She said and it got me shocked."You just do not remember, you are mine., I said and she shook her head and walked away.I didn't want things to start this way, I had tried my best for things to go smoothly, I didn't want a fight, and I didn't want it to be like before where I wasn't able to say how I felt, I wanted this time to be different, I wanted a new beginning but what was she saying?Was she given to some other Alpha? What was the note she received?"Kimberly." I called and went after her. She turned and looked at me. "Let's do it this way. At least till your memory returns, do not leave." I said and s
KIMBERLY'S POVThe footsteps didn't stop and I immediately went to the curtains and pulled them apart giving the room a little light I saw a pretty lady who stopped and raised an eyebrow."Really Kimberly. I shouldn't have underestimated you, you sure have a lot of things up your sleeve. How could you imagine something so sweet as losing your memory? So you'd escape disobeying him? Running away?" She asked and I took in her words.I had disobeyed Andre, I had run away. It only made sense. I didn't love him. The person I loved was Daniel. Andre had been lying."I truly lost my memory. Who are you?" I asked and she laughed out loud."Who am I? That's quite hilarious. So you came for your child but forgot the person that was with you all the times you were pregnant when? Nice. Nice indeed. Why did you return? I thought you were living fine. Why did you suddenly return after all these years?" She asked me and I looked at her and knew she was one of those jealous people that always seemed
