I had not slept well. I didn't even sleep at all. After my long conversation with Nia, I rushed to my room, changed into my nighties, and stared at the ceiling for so long I could outline its design on s paper without looking. So as I got up from the bed and stared at myself in the mirror, seeing that red, baggy eyes did not surprise me. It was payback for not sleeping. It was a clear sign and reminder that no one could chest nature, it just wasn't possible.
I had my bath real quick, avoiding all the extra soap in the bathtub as I used the shower. As I toweled myself in front of the mirror, my eyes flew to my stomach and my hands soon followed its touch.
It was weird the way that I had once cried over having this child. When the doctor told me I was pregnant I tho

ELSA'S POVAs I made my way to the garden, I carefully searched my head for anything to say. There were several words to say but the way I was going to phrase it all up seemed to be an issue. I and Silas were not paddies. We hardly even spoke and not because we had something against each other, maybe he did against me I didn't know, we just hardly saw each other. The universe was kind enough to me that morning that as I was heading into the training spot after the garden, they were rounding up their training for the day."Hey!" I turned and saw Elton waving at me, he was drenched in sweat which was normal and sexy, if I said so myself."Hi. How is your day going?" I said, moving to sit closer to the bench he sat on. A big smile grew on his face."My day is going great. Super fact, but I would be much happier if I saw Silas." I said and he frowned, wiping the sweat off his forehead."Oh... Is there a problem? I hope no problem.""There is none, not now anyway, I just... I would like to

The minute I said that Silas frowned and then scratched his head like he had an idea why I was there. Elton just looked on."Is this for what I think it is?" Silas asked me, avoiding my gaze the whole time. Why was he acting like I was some sort of assassin on his tail to murder him? I had just asked a question and he was already avoiding gazes."It depends on what you think I'm thinking." I threw back at him, my gaze that was on his face never wavering."Well... I... Erm... Okay. I guess we can have this discussion. Elton, can you please give us some privacy?" Silas said to Elton, who nodded and walked into the garden that was not too far from where we stood but far enough to keep him from hearing us. Bullshit, the walls were not sound proof so I could bet my entire savings

NIA'S POVI did not find it weird one bit that while others went about their ways for the day, struggling and thriving to accomplish that day's goal, I laid in bed with my legs crossed and stuffing my face with ice cream. I tend to do that a lot. Eat ice cream I mean. I was surprised that at this stage I was not sick already, it was a miracle. Instead of allowing the disappointment and anger to swallow me whole, u decided to just sit in my bedroom with my doors locked, face stuffed and just watch TV.Just as I was about to live out the dream to come true, I heard a subtle knock on my door. I sighed, then groaned. Burying my head in my pillow like some bratty sixteen-year-old. I sat up and gave my hair a few tosses to make it look like I was on a model doing a runway job."Come on in

ARTHUR'S POVThe economy looked great. The income was great. The farmers and their crops were the newest things in town. The exportation range was ninety-five percent to the importation range which was five. It gave me a large amount of joy because within me I knew it meant that I was doing a great job for my people. To anyone else it might look like a boring spreadsheet with numbers written all over it, everyone hated numbers, but at the time it was continuing a legacy. My father's legacy. He might not have been the greatest father life could have offered me but he was a good teacher of the thiaboutg to life. He would promise to take fishing and beat the shit out of me if I let a single fish get back into the water. Someone from Andrew's family where their father lets his children paint his face for the sake of fun during Easter. My father hated all those kinds of celebration and all things that makes him

ARTHUR'S POVI decided it wouldn't hurt anyone if I had a few shots of scotch. And I did. Maybe two shot glasses more than I had planned. If I was being honest, I was never a reckless drinker. I was always so careful of the amount of alcohol that I was tossing into my system, but this situation had me wanting to feel high. I, once a once-in-a-while drinker now had a few, more than a few shots of glasses defining my day. Anxiety was never a feeling to play with, I knew that now. Just as I was about to go for one or two more glasses, I heard a knock on my door. I paused, straightened, then walked as far as I could from the table to avoid any suspicions of me indulging."Who is it?""It's me, can I come in?" Edgar's voice said from the other side of the door. I sighed, already forecasting ev

URSULA'S POVThe fact that Nia had given me a yes was still a cause for celebration. A silent celebration. My mind reminded me. The last thing I wanted was to bring attention to myself. I hated it so much. Nowadays. Before I may have been a strife for attention and glory. I guess Andrew did bring about change. You never know what you are until it dawned on you. My door flung open making me jump. I turned around and saw Andrew come in. He looked at me with a smile on his face and I almost forgot that I was supposed to be angry with him for barging into my room like that. Since our night together I had been avoiding him. Not because I wanted our situation to end but because I was scared and didn't want to give him the wrong overview of what I wanted. I was already overwhelmed."Hi." He said, his smile growing.

URSULA'S POV"Are you going to tell me what you have in mind?" Andrew asked looking at me with his eyes squinted. To be honest, I didn't know if I wanted to tell him what I had in mind. I didn't want him bringing in any suggestions that would ruin the moment, but I guess if you love someone then you will not keep secrets about them."What makes you think I have something on my mind?" I said and he gave me the 'really?' look."I may not have intimately known you for years but I know you and you never speak in undertones unless you have a reason. Come on, tell me." He said, eyes sincere and waiting. How could I not say yes to something so intimate as that?"Okay, well. I have organized this meeting. An underground mee

NIA'S POVI did not know how I felt when I saw Gloria seating at the table beside Ursula but I knew that at that moment all I wanted to do was scratch out her eyes and see if the man was still going to find her as cool as she thought she was. I was still standing there, looking, imagining all the things, terrible things I wanted to do to her face when Elsa grabbed my elbow and dragged me down to seat on the chair gently."We had been waiting for you two for ages. You always do this. How many times am I going to say it like a poem that Arthur does not let anyone eat unless the table is full?" Kelly said, annoyed and impatiently. Without waiting for an answer, dug into her food stylishly, yet hungrily. I guess class had nothing to do with hunger huh?I dug into my food, grudgi

ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han

ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I

ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She

ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ

NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s

NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th

URSULA'S POV"Woah, mum. You are not selling my sister and definitely not the same man you sold me off to. I will not let that happen. If you need the money do bad and Dad can't control his silly problem and you love him so much, why don't you just go get married to Arthur yourself." I said they both gasped. Okay even though I was angry at that moment I had to admit it was nice to actually get a reaction from my father. He was such a doll sometimes. But apparently, he was not when he was being irresponsible with his money, ordering the servants and selling off his children."You dashed everything I once wanted for myself a few years ago and I am not going to let you do that to Sasha too. You do not even ask us what we want, or what we need. You just know that you have to get your money up and running. Did you ask her what she wanted?" I asked and my mother gestured behind me."She's right behind you and you can use your ears to hear that she was okay with it." I turned around and saw

URSULA'S POVWe all just sat there, no words being said. I guess maybe we were all basking in the memory we had spent in the house. I could not just let the house sell, it was unacceptable, that was where I had my first steps, and said my first words. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Convinced that even if words were going to come out it was going to be all memories and not help anybody in the current situation we were in. A question finally came out."Um... So how did this happen and why was I not informed sooner?" I finally asked, tired. My family had no perks, only disadvantages. It was maddening and annoying."Well, we thought we could fix it on our own and still think we can fix it, we just need time and six days is no time." My mother said, looking over her shoulders at my father who still had his back on the chair. I wondered how he was still calm enough after all this bad news, it was his farm and he had a lot of land to use. I mean I would not go hungry, cannot. I was

URSULA'S POVThe smile that was on my face when I saw that Nia and Gloria were talking was very big. I wore a big smile on my face because that was enough proof to know that the story I had given her had worked. I wanted this meeting to have a very successful outcome and I knew that could not happen if the two key people involved could not deal with each other, it would not be a success. It would be a big disaster and I did not want that.Now that that seemed settled, I looked around, my eyes searching for Andrew. It was a dreaded day for Arthur, for everyone, but I bet he was with him. The event had already begun and the both of them were still not seen so I could bet that some pep talks were being carried out. There were a lot of faces here, a lot of young faces eager to be the lycan king's wife if only they knew that it was no fairytale but rather it was a nightmare I would bet my ass that they would not be here right now with big smiles on their faces. My eyes caught what seemed t
