ANDRE'S POV
I sat in the throne room looking at the papers before me but I wasn't seeing the papers.
The previous day, I and my men had gone to take over a little town that had been planning to war with us unexpectedly because they saw themselves as powerful mages.
We had fought and conquered but while everyone was brimming with happiness from our success, I was baffled, because someone had said something that had stirred up great emotions within me.
She had come at me with her eyes white and a large ball of magic in her hand. She had told me not to kill her and that she was going to be of good use to me. I had told her to show me how she could be of use to me and her ball of magic grew bigger and brighter and she had said a word.
"Kimberly."
Just that word, had me lost in the world, just as I was about to hear more, a sword came protruding out of her heart and as she fell, I saw my beta who had thought she was trying to kill me.
DANIEL'S POVI saw Kimberly coming towards me after walking a few feet away from the room Alya was kept in."How's she doing?" She asked me and I looked back at the room."She seems to be recovering. She's eating quite well." I said and she nodded."She was starved because she couldn't eat the food they had sprayed with wolfsbane." She said and I was sad to hear that."Those kids. What did you do to them?" I asked and she gave me a sad smile."I beat them up, just not enough to kill them. But enough to let them know they're not meant to mess with a werewolf ever again." She replied and I nodded."Thanks once again Kimberly., I said and she looked at me straight in the eye."Daniel..." She called but I looked away."No., I said but it sounded more like a whisper."This is killing me. I
KIMBERLY'S POVAt the very large second, I decided to dodge and I ended up being injured as my body scratched the ground."Ah. " I exclaimed and examined the wound quickly before getting to my feet.The little girl moved closer to me and then I heard her voice."You should have been careful." She said in a bold adult voice that sounded demonic."Careful for what?" I asked as I backed away from her slowly."Nobody attacks me. Nobody messes with me!" She added and raised her ball of magic."Wait wait! Okay, can we talk? I assure you I'm not trying to harm you." I said and she waited but didn't take back the ball of magic."What would you want to talk about with me?" She asked and I stopped moving backward."I'm not here to hurt you. I thought you were trying to hurt me. I'm just a traveler. I'm going to a Kingdom......" I was saying but she interrupted."You're a traveler? You're going to a Kingdom? Can you ta
KIMBERLY'S POVThe little girl whose name I had forgotten to ask immediately moved her hands in one motion and she was able to command water even while in it.She sent it the octopus' way but as a defense, it spread dark ink that surrounded us in mere seconds, I couldn't see a thing. I began to panic.I knew that octopuses normally used their ink as a distraction so they could get away but I had an evil feeling that this particular one wasn't trying to get away."Damn it!" The little girl suddenly exclaimed and as moved my arms around trying to find her, I felt something soft but strong wrap me tight.I roared, trying to get my hands free but even I knew it wasn't going to be possible.The evil creature waited for its ink to fade, and as it did, we saw its devilish grin spread wide across its nauseating face."Now. Wasn't that such a fun game to play? With a little water princess and a wolf." He said and raised the l
DANIEL'S POVI was in my study hitting my pen slowly on my desk out of absentmindedness.I lost all concentration since Kimberly left and it was eating me up on the inside. I had no will to do anything because I just couldn't believe this was how things were going to be from now on.I hated the moment I had let her go but I knew it was what would happen eventually. Right from time, Kimberly had been a stubborn person. She always had her way even though it would put her in danger.A knock came on my door and I was so slow to reply.I walked to the door which was knocked again and opened it and I saw a maid looking scared and trembling all over."What's the matter?" I asked her and she pointed towards the left."Lady Alya." She whispered in fear and I turned and ran without stopping.I took the stairs in a r
KIMBERLY'S POVShe looked at me and I had the time to study her carefully. She was on her legs but I hadn't noticed because it was still the same color as her tail. I looked around and noticed the other mermaids also had scabby and decaying legs."This would be easier to kill. Drop her there." She ordered and some mermaids came to push me and Bloom away. I watched as the mermaid with the knife watched Bloom curiously, she probably already detected she was a water creature as the others had gone and were wondering what she was doing with me."What is this?" I asked myself as I put my head in my hands."I'm so sorry. I won't let them get to you. I promise. They're just cursed mermaids, I'm a mage with water magic. Even without my necklace, I can still take these." She said and I looked at her and saw sincerity in her innocent eyes."How did they get all these poor humans?" I asked as the screaming became worse."They lured them by turning into
KIMBERLY'S POVI looked at the transformation pebble and decided not to doubt it because either way I'll be dead. If the pebble killed me, it was going to be way better than being skinned and roasted skinless.I looked at the pebble once more and put it in my mouth."Swallow? " I asked and she looked at me as though she was the one about to take it."Chew." She replied. "But wait, are you sure you wanna do this?" She asked and I nodded."Just so we can get out of here," I replied and started to chew. It spread a kind of rotten taste all over my tongue and I almost puked."You can't throw up! And you can't swallow before chewing." She said with her hands out in front of her as though she'd push it back if I threw it up.I continued chewing till I was sure I was done with it completely. Then I swallowed carefully. It didn't even waste any time to start its work. Black and grey pus came out in every hole in my skin and I felt my eyes burn, and so did my throat. I held my throat as it f
KIMBERLY'S POVI stared at her blankly for some moments and she held my hand."I'm so sorry. I can't feel my necklace anywhere. " She said and I closed my eyes because my mind was a scattered mess."You should have told me, but, now is not the time for that. Let's get out of here before something else happens." I said and we swam quietly for a long time before the water brightened up a little. Then we swam away."Shouldn't we go up?" She asked but I shook my head."I'll go crazy if we swim up and I meet myself in the middle of the sea. I think it's better we swim the way we came. " I said and we continued to swim back in the direction of the mermaids, only we weren't going to go back in or let them see us."I'm so tired." She said with a sigh and I looked at her. She was swimming with legs, and even I with the tail already felt so weighed down by everything."You wanna rest a bit?" I asked and she looked around for a while before pointing to a pile of rocks that were behind some leave
ANDRE'S POVMore days passed and still, I couldn't take my mind off Kimberly. I hopelessly wished that old lady hadn't been killed but even as I wished, I knew it was all futile, and although I knew it was futile, I couldn't stop wishing.Then finally, I decided I couldn't wait around anymore, I had to do something and so I took my first step.There was a knock on my door, it was Ethan, my most trusted man, who had earned my trust years ago when he almost sacrificed his and everyone else's life just to save me."Come in," I said and he opened the door gently and came in."Alpha, I came to remind you of our visit to light town today." He said and that gave a smile to my face."Light town. I hope it has been lit." I said as I remembered those creatures without a ruler who thought they were something. Ethan smiled looking at me."If you want it lit, it would be." He said and I stood up."I'm all ready, what about the men? " I asked and he bowed."They're all ready Alpha." He said and I
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
