Raven’s Pov “Wake up, sleeping beauty.....it’s your birthday!!!” Today was finally the day everyone, including myself, had been anticipating. It’s not just Giselle’s birthday today, but the day she finally gets her powers. Once the clock strikes noon, her powers will fully manifest. Even without it not being fully out, everyone can already feel her powers, not just by her aura but her behavior, the way she speaks and carries herself, and her appearance. She wasn’t the Giselle we knew, the one everyone bullied and looked down at.FewShe was a queen, a goddess and a powerful being. And with each passing day, my love for her intensified, and I was blessed with two of the most precious gems in this world. My daughter was also like her mother, powerful with an ethereal beauty. I’ve promised myself several times I will protect those two with my life, even if it kills me. Hmmm I “No, leave me...I want to sleep some more, and I’m tired Raven, “ she said groggily, covering her face with t
Raven’s Pov “Yeah, that’s very good. Now, slowly approach them and make them understand what is yours will stay yours. “ I waited a few moments to let her do what she was told. Suddenly, She went dead quiet, “Giselle.... tell me how you feel now, “ I spoke softly with my eyes still closed, awaiting her response. I waited for a few seconds, but she didn’t say a word. Assuming she was trying to concentrate, I didn’t say anything but waited a bit. As it took longer than expected, I said, “Giselle, tell me how you feel right now.” No response “Giselle, can you hear me, I said tell me how you feel right now.” No response again This time, I snapped my eyes open in confusion. Once my eyes landed on her, I was taken aback by what was happening before me. Giselle was seated in the hair by a few inches with her legs folded together, her eyes pitch black, and her blonde with white hair floating around. She looked extremely beautiful just being like that, but I knew it was Giselle at
Giselle’s PovI watched him leave 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 Clerk in a hurry while still on the mat. I looked around me and noticed the damage I had done to the room, “wow, Giselle, you need to get your shit together, or you might end up doing more harm than this, “ I said out loud with a sigh.I got up from the ground and went over to the kitchen. Gloria stood over the stove, lost in her world while cooking, “Gloria, good morning,” I greeted and took a seat on one of the kitchen stool“Oh hey darling, you came in right on time. Breakfast is ready, and Lita will be coming in now with Darcy. She refuses to eat anything from us, “ she explained while serving my food. I looked down at my plate and felt the need to fill it.I grabbed the spoon and took a spoonful of the dish, letting out a moan of satisfaction. As expected, I wanted more, so I grabbed mo
Raven’s Pov Leaving Giselle in the palace with several guards watching over them made my heart feel at peace. She had begged to come with her, but there was no way I could allow such. I would be too distracted and worried for her safety to concentrate during the battle, so it was better she stayed back. If anything happens to me, I know she can look after the kingdom and take over my position. Now, I have to focus on winning this battle. Bryan's days of terrorizing my kingdom and family will come to an end today, and I do not care if he has consumed dark magic or become stronger; I will surely put him down once and for all. Thousands of my most muscular men marched forward behind me outside the kingdom, far from the borders, where we met with Bryan and his men. What caught my attention was the number of men he had brought.Since it was a war, I had expected him to have brought thousands of men or even more, but here he stood with just a few hundred with a smug look. Another shock
Giselle’s Pov My heart was at peace, and I kept pacing around and praying to the moon goddess to keep Raven safe. I had ensured all the maids and people who lived in the palace stayed locked and guards in the safe room underground in case anything occurred. Gloria had insisted on being with me, but I just couldn’t let her stay out unsafe, and most of I had given her the responsibility of looking after Darcy. I trust Gloria with my life, and I know she won’t let any harm come to my daughter. Lita, on the other hand, fully blown, denied my order. She refused to stay locked up and protected underground, claiming to want to watch me herself. She had said she would gladly lay her life down for me if it ever came to that.That alone made my heart clench in sadness, and I don’t think I ever wanted that situation to come. She was like a sister to me, so I would never want to watch my sister die for me; instead, I would be the one to die for my sister. We were both seated at the empty loun
Giselle’s PovShe could feel the power oozing out of me. I know it. This time, I let my authentic aura out, allowing it to spread like fire; it was time everyone knew who they were dealing with.“Veronica, my dear—-do you wish to continue this fight and die in my hands, or you give up and now down to me as your queen??” I questioned, standing calmly before her.I could feel her trembling, I could taste and smell her fear from this distance, but as expected, she was too stubborn to let it get to her, “You stupid bitch!! Do you think you can scare me?? I am not scared of you one bit. I will find and tear you into pieces, you are nothing before me, and that fucking child of yours will not escape my wrath!!!” She shouted at the top, her voice like a deranged woman, then charged towards me while yelling out.Before she could reach me, I lifted
Giselle’s Pov I went further into the battle with my heart beating like crazy against my rib. I had spent so much time looking for Raven, now I have no idea what has happened to him. I know for a fact it isn’t good. I had gotten a vision of him fighting Bryan, and I had also gotten a glimpse of Bryan’s plan, which he would soon implement if I didn’t reach him quickly. There was no way Raven could escape Bryan or win over him. Bryan’s power is way too mighty for him to fight against. The war was coming to an end, and it wasn’t good. All of Raven’s men are brutally murdered and eaten by the gaggles. I know for sure if Bryan hadn’t spelled the gaggles, it wouldn’t be difficult for Raven’s men to kill them all off, but seeing as they were coming back to life as soon as they were killed, it’s making it difficult for the men. Now, there are a few of them, and there are a lot. I so badly want to end everything, but it will undoubtedly take half of my strength and time. I’ll have to sum
Raven’s Pov My eyes fluttered open, and I was instantly blinded by the amount of light that invaded my sight; I raised my hands and blocked away the light before rising from my position on the ground over a soft pillow.Soft pillow?I turned around and noticed it wasn’t a soft pillow but Giselle. My eyes widened at her state, and she looked completely pale. My hands immediately went around her, touching her face. I instantly retracted my hands when I felt how cold she was. It was like her whole body became ice. “Giselle!!! Baby!! What have you done? “ I called out, shaking her a bit, hoping she would hear me and get up. I looked around me, and my eyes landed on a burnt figure, then on the battlefield. What happened??My attention went back down to Giselle, who was still lifeless in my arms. Deciding not to waste any more seconds sitting around, I carried her bridal style and rushed to where a few of my men were. My eyes landed on Clerk’s figure, who seemed to be searching for som
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
