Bryan’s Pov It’s been two days and we still don’t have any idea where she might be. After I had gotten back from work, I was expecting to meet Giselle waiting for me ready to show off her the dresses she got and also tell me all that she did but instead I sat in the lounge waiting for hours. I knew it was a bad idea letting her go off alone and worst of she was with the child. I asked all the guards to go off to search for her, my mind clicked on the possibility that she might have ran away but when I went up to her room to check, all her belongings were still intact. Which means something had definitely happened to her. Without wasting any more time I set off to look for her in every possible place she might have gotten lost in. We asked around if by chance anyone had spotted her but nothing. With defeat I went back to the palace. It’s best I seat with a calm mind and chest then think of what to do, how to get her back. For some reason my heart aches for her, yes I needed her pow
Giselle’s Pov I woke up to the sound of knocking. Whoever it wasn’t didn’t seem to want to give up. Suddenly, I hear the door being opened, causing me to snap awake to see the culprit.“Gloria...” I said groggily, and I had completely forgotten about Gloria. My heart broke into pieces. I had forgotten she also stayed here, and now I’m just realising I had also forgotten about Raymond and Lita. My family were here, and I’m sure Lita won’t forgive me for not informing her before I left. I hope she understands I had no choice but to keep it from her for her safety.“My dear....” she rushed to my side, and I immediately stood up to meet with a warm hug. It was like I was hugging my mother. I have never felt so much peace as I felt just holding onto GloriaI had no idea when tears started to brew up, and I couldn’t hold it anymore, and seconds later, I burst out into tears, just holding her close to me. “It’s okay, my dear, everything will be fine, you are here now. Everything will be oka
Giselle’s Pov The next morning, I woke up very early because Darcy thought it would be nice to cry out of her eye sockets. My heart left my body immediately. I heard her scream; I jolted awake and rushed to her side immediately so she wouldn’t wake up others. No matter how much I petted her or rubbed her back, she refused to stop crying. I offered her breast milk, but she refused. I had absolutely no idea what to do or why she was crying.My head was banging with a very painful headache, and my hands also began to ache from carrying her for too long. She had grown bigger over time, not looking her age, though it was common for every wolf child.An idea popped into my head. I got up from the bed with Darcy still in my arms, then went straight to Raven’s room. I didn’t bother knocking as I barged in with Darcy, still crying out loudly. He stood up immediately from the loud cry of his daughter.“Giselle....” he rubbed the sleep away from his eyes and got up from his bed, coming to my si
Giselle’s Pov “I can’t wait till then, Gloria,” I softly said. We detached from each other with huge smiles on our faces. Raymond came up to me next and pulled me in for a bone-crushing hug, “This big brother wishes to follow you and break the bones of everyone there, but I can’t. Come back quick and be safe, okay? “ before I could say a word back to him I was forcefully removed from him but not to harsh to make me fall. I looked to my side and noticed it was Raven.Of course, he’ll be jealous, but it’s adorable.I gave him a slight frown for what he had just done. Now he was holding my waist close to his and far from Raymond, “I’ll be back soon, okay everyone....Victoria, won’t you come to greet me farewell ?” I teased. I have no idea where the sudden mischief came from She was surprised at the mention of her name but masked it off with a blank look and didn’t make a move. I removed Raven’s hold on me and went to meet up with her myself, and she was surprised and a bit amused to se
Giselle’s Pov Here we are, standing before the three supposedly essential people in my life, having a staring contest. However, they were all looking at me strangely, more Like shock and amazement. Even the guards couldn’t keep their eyes off me. The old me would have hated the attention and tried to get away from it, but now it made me feel powerful and significant before these people. “Giselle.....you’ve...changed“, she whispered breathlessly with her eyes locked on me. I understood what she was talking about, but I didn’t know if she meant those words in a good way or a wrong way. “Let’s go inside to sit and converse properly, shall we?” my father smiled and gestured for us to walk into the palace first. Raven held onto my hand, and we both walked in with Lita trailing behind us. We all settled down in the lounge. The maids brought in refreshments and began to serve us. None of us took up the offer to have anything, and we just stared at each other. The tension was thick, an
Giselle’s Pov “Is that all you care about ?? Powers??! You don’t even look sad about the fact that we are not your real parents. Giselle, you have changed so much. What happened to you, my dear? “ the king said sternly. I didn’t want to believe what I just heard, and I took a step closer to him with confusion written all over my face. The closer I got to him, the few steps he took back away from me, obviously scared of what I might do to him, “Giselle...don’t” This time, it was Raven who spoke. He was also assuming I was about to hurt the king just as I had broken their daughter. “My dear mate, even though I wish to grab this man and his wife by the throat and tear them limb for limb, I just can’t. I stupidly still have a bit of respect for them, and they were once my parents who I tried my best to be good enough in their eyes. I did everything I could to tolerate every insult, abuse and hate because I knew I had no one except them. All I’m just upset about is how this man here dar
Giselle’s Pov“I never did any of that, that asshole, he really made you believe that about me??”I was confused about what to believe, but it was clear Bryan was the one who lied to me. For some reason, I trust Raven with all my life; even the look on his face clearly shows all Bryan said about him was false. “Wait, so what exactly caused you two feud ?? Cause Bryan told me you are just pure evil and enjoy putting him down. “Raven rolled his eyes and shifted in his seat. He let out a sigh like he was prepping himself to blurt out whatever was on his mind, “Bryan killed my father..”My eyes instantly widened in complete shock and bewilderment. I looked at him, hoping he was joking, but the stern look on his face and the continuous jaw clenching made me realise he wasn’t kidding. Bryan killed Raven’s father. But how and w
Bryan’s Pov “That bitch thinks she could escape me. I won’t just be taking her powers but also taking away everyone she loves. I will take her so-called mate and also her beloved daughter. All I need is more power. My army isn’t strong enough to defeat him, but if I can get my hands on any power, then I’d be unstoppable. Easy for me to capture Giselle and take away her powers as well.” “But how do you intend to get this power, sir? The older adult said you’d have to sacrifice someone very close to you. Someone you truly care about, but I don’t have any idea who will be used, “ Frank yells out. Though he was right, I don’t seem to have anyone very close to me that I care about, only the little boy I had adopted a long time ago. “We will be sacrificing the child. “ “Wait, what !! Sir, are you sure...the kid..he’s more like your child. “ “Enough...I don’t give a shit about a child I didn’t give birth to. All I care about is ruining Raven and taking Giselle as mine. Got it!! Now, p
Giselle’s Pov“Problems? What sort of problems are they having?” he questions in a low turn while I gently dry his hair. Through time, his hair had gone a bit longer and full with a little bit of curls, and as always, it smelled nice.“Clerk hasn’t really been treating Lita right, and he goes hours or even a whole day without speaking with her. He doesn’t spend them with her, and their communication is so bad. Lita is hurting a lot. She has been having sleepless nights and also crying way too much; soon enough, it’s going to affect her health, “ I explained, now done with his hair. I went towards the bed and sat on it, facing directly at him.“No, that’s not possible. A clerk would never behave like that, “ Raven says, disagreeing with all that I just said, his face scrunched up in confusion.&ld
Giselle’s Pov “What do you think you are doing with that huge amount of ice cream without me??!” She asks as she comes next to me on the couch, takes a large spoon and ice cream from my hold, grabs a spoon and pushes it all in her mouth in one go. I couldn’t help the little giggle that escaped my lips as she began to have a brain freeze, “you know you can’t handle that much. You still haven’t learnt your lesson,” I said, collecting the ice cream from her and placing it at my side.She nodded her head while trying to get over the brain freeze, regret flashing through her face. “I’m never doing that again.” “That’s what you said last time, and here you are again, “ I said with a small laugh. After our little laugh, we both go quiet, just staring at nothing in particular, both waiting for who was going to speak first. It seems she won’t, “WE SHOULD TALK “, we both said simultaneously, causing us both to giggle.“You go first”, Lita insisted“No, you go. First, I don’t mind, “ I said
Giselle’s PovEach passing second became loud, with everyone yelling at one another. At some point, Lita had pushed a glass of red wine over the white tablecloth, but she didn’t pay much attention to it as she kept on scolding Claire while Clerk still kept on trying to calm her down.Raven and Raymond both looked like they were about to have a heated brawl right at the table, seeing as they were baring their teeth at each other.My head began to ache with their loudness, and worst of Darcy had started crying for a reason I’m not sure of.“ENOUGH!!” I boomed, and a gush of wind passed between us, making a few things around rattle and fall over. Everyone’s attention came over to me with wide eyes.At this point, I had gotten up from my seat, letting my aura flow around us. The smell of their fear invade
Giselle’s Pov “I’m also sorry for the way I talked. Everything was getting too much for me. Lita and I fought at the market yesterday only cause she was looking out for me; I was angry she kept on telling me not to do this and that, so I blew up at her. You also came and began to scold me, so I blasted. I’m really sorry, Raven,” I apologized, dropping my head down in sadness. Two of his index fingers came over my chin and rose it up to meet his eyes, “I am not mad at you; all I said was from being worried. There’s no way I would ever ask you forcefully to do anything you don’t want to do, my queen, but when it comes to your safety, I will have to be strict about it, okay ?” He says softly, his hand caressing my face while we lock eyes.Unable to form any word, I nodded my head slowly in understanding, “use your words, darling. I want to hear your voice, “ he instructed“I understand, “ I murmured. In a flash, his lips attacked mine as I gave him entrance, letting his tongue explore
Giselle’s Pov “Do you accept the offer or not? “ I asked one last time, clear enough to understand I wasn’t joking.“Yes! Yes!! I accept, thank you, Your Highness. I will forever be grateful to you. Thank you,” she kept on appreciating while on her knees.“Giselle, what are you doing ?? You don’t know who this woman is, and it’s not wise to bring in a stranger as a maid. I am your maid. What do you need her for when I’m here for you ?” Lita whispered, standing next to me.For some reason, her words ticked me off. I didn’t appreciate how she spoke to me like I was a child with no brain. “Do not fucking tell me what to do, Lita, I am the Luna, not you, and I know what is right and what is wrong. You don’t need to question all my decisions every fucking time like I’m some child or I’m foolish. This woman right here just pled to me for help. What do you want me to do? Fucking walk away like I didn’t see her?!!!. Just back the fuck up, okay!!!” I hollered, then turned back towards the lad
Giselle’s Pov“So where else would you like to go? Or do you wish to return to the palace? Well I suggest we return, we’ve had enough fun. This place is very crowded and too dangerous for you and the baby,” Lita worried, holding onto my hand while pushing us past a few people.“No, Lita, after our encounter with that old woman, I think it’s best I took a better look at my people’s state. I know nothing about what’s going on, and I feel incredibly guilty, so we will keep checking until I’m sure there isn’t much to worry about. “ I stated, walking ahead. The warriors were close by us, clearing the way for Lita and I“Giselle, please, I don’t think it’s a good idea to stay here for too long, Raven—-““Lita!! That’s enough!! I said I’m not leaving, and that’s final,” I snapped, irritated with her adamance. “I’m sorry, your Highness,” she apologizes, guilt sipping through me. I hated being this mad at Lita, but sometimes, she needed to stop questioning me or telling me what not to do. I a
Giselle’s Pov The next few months were going well; Raven and everyone else cared for me mainly because I was pregnant. Every time I tried to do any work, they all complained or scolded me. Though I enjoyed the attention, I still hated that I couldn’t do a few things, like cooking, trimming the garden flowers, or bathing myself. Raven always suggests being in the bathroom with me, but I think it’s only cause he likes watching me bathe and gets to touch me. “I asked him to take us on a date, but he kept ignoring the conversation. I don’t know why or his reason. Raven isn’t putting him to work or anything, so I don’t see any reason why he can’t take me on a date. We’ve been together for a long time now, and I think we deserve a night out,” Lita complained while sitting on the garden bench, watching Darcy play around under the afternoon sun. “I don’t know, Lita, maybe you should just give him
Giselle’s Pov *three weeks later*“Oh my goodness, I can’t believe this is happening. It’s finally happening.”“Relax, Lita, you are more anxious than the bride.” we all chuckled at Gloria’s words.Today was finally the day of my marriage to Raven. Though we might be mated and it isn’t indispensable to perform a wedding ceremony, that’s what we wanted. We wanted the world to see we belonged to each other forever. He had proposed to me on the night we had found out I was pregnant.The night was a beautiful and magical moment, and he made a beautiful setup with beautiful flowers scattered everywhere and colorful fairy lights. The most magical was when he got down on his knees before me with a beautiful silver ring. Each word he said brought hot tears down my eyes, making me ruin my makeup and even my dress, but Raven couldn't cared less. Instead, he said I was beautiful.Once Gloria and Lita heard the news, they couldn’t stop screaming in excitement and making several plans for the we
Raven’s PovMy whole body felt weak and tired but strangely not in pain. I vividly remember Bryan choking me and the feeling of something aggressively dragging out of my mouth, the feeling of dying slowly. I remember it all well.I also clearly remember my last thought was of Giselle and Darcy and how disappointed I was at myself for losing against Bryan.Bryan had killed me, but here I was, standing firm and healthy. It wasn’t that I wasn’t grateful to be alive, but it was still a bit confusingGiselle.My eyes traced up to the wall clock above me, and it was 5 pm, which meant Giselle’s power had manifested“Oh my goodness, she brought me back to life!!!”How hadn’t I realised that sooner!! She is a powerful being; she would bring me back
