Skipping the stairs down to the ground floor and going through the long hallway where she had previously left Zeidan and Luana, she could feel her body weakening with each step she took."You better be saying your last prayers, woman." She grumbled, face red and filled with rage. She couldn't believe it when Amber told her. But then, she had heard Chloe mention it subconsciously and she had even offered for her to go and confirm whether Hudson was still alive. Lyne ignored the weakness and tried pushing herself forward. They were no longer in the hallway, talking like she had left them. How could she have been so foolish to believe they had spent the last fifteen minutes just standing in one place and talking about the affairs of the city? More importantly, why is she feeling so insecure? Hadn't Zeidan promised to always be there for her? Maybe she isn't being insecure but Luana's presence is a threat to her marriage. Her boot heels clattered on the floor as she passed the hall and
Luana watched the two couples sitting on the bed, about to rejoice over the good news. Lyne is pregnant. Bad news to her. How did she let this happen? She was perspiring real hard and she almost fell numb. She hadn't planned for it to go this way. When she advised Zeidan to go and ask for assistance, he didn't mean marrying the princess and falling in love with her. She only wanted something that would favour her and at the same time favour the city. The rejected daughter of Alpha Styx, now pregnant for the King of Vampire city. Karma? Doesn't seem like it. And this isn't the end. It can never be the end. "You all can leave. I want to have a moment alone with her." She heard Zeidan's order and slowly, every one of them dispersed. Luana pretended to leave but lingered by the doorway, paying rapt attention to whatever they were going to say."What was that all about?" She heard him ask Lyne as soon as he turned to face her."What was all what about?" Lyne returned sharply, with the
Lyne's heart shattered inside of her as she looked up at Zeidan, resolute not to give in to whatever he said. Her child is in grave danger and now, she has to protect her baby by herself and all alone. Anything to be with her baby."You don't understand, Lyne." He tried to come closer but right now, she felt hurt than having to come in contact with him. As she gritted her teeth, only one thing came to mind. Maybe she hadn't really known him but only fell for his words. However, her heart was saying something different. That she could perhaps see his reasons too and know why he thought that way."I thought I could endure whatever you throw at me. But I guess I was wrong. Not when you kept running after Luana, even when I was there. Or watch her hurt me. Or think I am delusional because I saw my child...""It's your hormones!""It's my freakin' gift!" She yelled back. Was he thinking her ability to see visions was wack too? "I'm not disputing that but you have to understand that at th
Luana had hidden behind a door when she saw Lyne walk out angrily. It wouldn't go down well if she is caught eavesdropping on them and luckily for her, things are going well. Much in her favor. As she trodded forward, she let her go far before following, wondering where she is going now. However, she tried her best to make sure Lyne wasn't aware that she was being followed As she mounted her white horse, she took out her Klef, her black horse, passing down the mountain steps but having her eyes on her.Getting to the destination, she could see the white horse from afar and she knew she had come to the temple. To relive old memories? Not likely. Why would she come to the temple to relive memories simply because she was having a misunderstanding with Zeidan? There is more to this girl other than playing in the temple.She tied her horse to a tree quite far from the temple so it won't be visible. She made sure it was deep in the forest away from the road. That way, they would pass witho
The sky was growing darker, just like his head which kept going on about Lyne's outburst that afternoon. She had this strange aura around her that kind of scared him as well. It was frightening but intriguing.As Zeidan sat on the bed in his chamber, he laid on his back remembering everything she had said and putting it back together. What did she mean when she said she saw their daughter in trouble? None of her dreams has ever gone by without coming to pass and he is sure this one will too. Lyne is not a kid and he is sure she knows exactly what she is talking about."Wow! So deep in thought, you didn't know when I came in." He heard Luana call just as she showed up above him.He sat up on the edge of the bed with Luana sitting beside him. She looked and smelled fresh like she had just taken a shower and she was wearing a flimsy white tennis skirt and cropped white jacket that left her tummy bare and gave out the upper part of her cleavage. She let down her brown wavy hair curving he
Lyne felt a cotton fabric beside her and she squeezed it, trying to feel him. She exhaled and turned sideways, placing her arm on the bed. When she didn't feel anybody save the cotton cloth, her eyes flung open. That was when the memories came rushing in. She sat up and took in all the details in the room she was sleeping. It had a familiar scent. Almost like she was home. A mantelpiece faced her and when she looked to her left side, she could see a high table with lots of books on it. It was organized and looked more like cleaned out. Unlike what she saw when she last came here. Looking to her right side, she saw the door to the room open. She got down, noticed the change of clothes, and went through the door. She was met with drawn curtains and a tall, well-dressed, or well-armored woman, holding a mug and looking outside the window."You're up so early." She called and Chloe turned, shocked a bit."So, are you." She replied, leaving the window."I don't wanna think about the fact
Lyne left Chloe’s room and headed for the palace as instructed. As she came in through the big entrance, she saw Zeidan sitting on the throne with so much worry written all over his face. She was very surprised to see Luana leaning against the wall behind the throne. She seemed worried too, but as she noticed her walking in through the palace door, the worried look left her and was replaced with disdain. She walked through the big long table that was in the center of the room surrounded by four chairs on either side and one at the far end of the table. As she approached them, Luana stepped forward, and then she prepared herself for what was coming. "Now look who we have here, it’s her majesty, The Queen her royal highness," Luana said as she walked towards her. "I did not come here for you Luana and I don’t have time for this either."She noticed the anger building up in Luana. "But you had the whole time in the world to neglect your duties as the future queen of this kingdom, didn
Seated on his chair in his office, facing the door, Shelbrooke knew he had little chance of winning the war against Vampire City. Not with the presence of Luana. But he believes with a clear-cut strategy, he could be victorious. That is why he had called this meeting to strategize on how to launch their attack on the City without being noticed. He leaned forward, placing his hands on the table before him, and looked at Reyns who was seated beside Gorge on the sofa to his left. "You promised to find a way to get rid of Luana, we can’t attack her in Vampire City, and it would be suicide." He said looking at Reyns. "About that, I was able to convince her to leave the city. I can assure you she will not be there next week." Reyns replied convincingly. "How did you manage to do that?" Gorge asked rather confused. "You know Rob, one of Luana’s father’s army, his trusted messenger; I disguised as him and went to Vampire City."Shelbrooke and Gorge listened with so much interest."I foun
