NIA'S POVWhile Silas sat there, staring at me. Waiting for the answer that I was not even sure I could give. I sighed as thoughts raced through my mind. Ugly, nasty, wounding thoughts. What if the girl just wanted to set that up so that I could meet her mother and get beaten for snatching her daddy away? Which I didn't, he chose to come here and train the packs under the lycan king. Another thought; What if her mother knows the king and recognizes me as his wife? It was such an ugly thought. And I knew I wouldn't like the outcome. I turned to Silas and caught him watching me carefully. I placed a very plastic smile on my face to keep him from asking if I was fine or not. Of course, I was not. How does one say no in this kind of situation, because he wanted me to think about it? I, on the other hand, know that there is nothing to think about. A big, fat no was already at the tip of my tongue,
ELSA'S POVI stared at him for a while. Wondering if I was in the mood to play this game with him. I got my question immediately, I was not. I was not ready to play that game with him. But I was the one to ask him a question, right? I guess I had to deal with it. Face the music or whatever."So? What condition?" I asked back and his brows rose as if he couldn't believe that I was going with it. Hell, I could not believe that I was going with it either."Will you tell me why you love milk so much? You're a bit lean... Not being judgemental, just being a bit observant, I love you like this. So... You're a bit lean, and you've been drinking milk for a while now." He smiled and I went weak in the knees. Was this happening right now? We were now seriously talking about my body ty
ANDREW'S POVI needed a drink with a buddy and I had only one buddy in this palace. Arthur. Things were Ursula was going great and my love and need for her only free daily, but some days I couldn't help but feel the strain of guilt grabbing unto my neck like a blue ant. Some days the guilt hit me with no remorse making me question the kind of friend I was. Proclaiming my love and loyalty to my friend and king and falling in love with his wife behind his back. I walked fast, now eager to find him. As I was about to make a turn to the dining hall, I caught him and Elsa staring at each other. A big dopey grin on their faces. I stood there for a short while to behold. It was something great they had there. Whenever I remembered that he was not romantically available for anyone else but Elsa, it made the guilt fade away. Bit by bit. Then only to be rejuvenated again, it was a circle. I cleared my airway making their attention snatched from each other however hard that was. Arthur whispered
URSULA'S POVMy mind chanted continuously, but not in the way one would expect. I was in the mood for food all day long, in fact when Agartha knocked on my door as usual, at the special time she has always done so, I almost leaped for joy. That was weird and got me thinking. I am not a foodie, never was actually.As I walked down the stairs to the dining table, the smell of food that once comforted me and made me want to flee downstairs now changed. It made me... Want to puke? Did that even make any sense? No. I sat down at the table beside Andrew, which was now being a norm, it was a norm I was overly cool with. As my eyes hit the corn, I felt a bit of bile rise to my throat. My eyes suddenly started watering. Watering at the sight of... Corn? That was new."Are you okay?" Andrew whispered lightly beside me at the table, eyes
ARTHUR'S POV"In regards to what?" Andrew asked after a few seconds that felt like hours."The fact that he cannot visit that dining table without smiling at Elsa is telling and it's getting on my nerves. I am beginning to be angry about it all.""If you don't want him there, all you have to say is that you don't want him there.""It is not that easy, I don't want to come off as desperate and eager to everyone and especially not her. Call it childishness.""You know Elsa should know that you are just a human being like her, you're entitled to your feelings. Your feelings are also yours which makes them valid."
ELSA'S POVI sat quietly for a while just to be sure I had heard correctly."Why and how the hell would Elton know that?""Well, it is an open palace, right? I guess he has his source keeping an eye on you. Creepy."It is creepy indeed. So he told you? He was cool with you knowing that he has that information?""He told Silas and Silas told me, everything. And I mean everything. I thought you said you set things straight with him.""I did. I personally too him, there was no letter at work here. I had everything spelled out boldly for him, and here I am today learning that he has been spying on me." I said, the anger in me now tripling. I thought he and I were already done with that aspect and I found it hard to believe that he, of all people, would spy on me. I mean... I didn't know him that well but I knew that he was not a forceful personality. I was beginning to question that filed note. Maybe it was too much respect for a guy I did not know that well."Maybe you should talk to him
ELSA'S POVI guess meeting up with Elton was not such a bad idea after all, we all knew, I and Nia anyway, that it was best I dragged things out with him and then to let Arthur do it. As someone I considered a friend, I considered that as going extreme. A bit. As I made my way to the Conbraid's quarters I sighted him in the garden. Why was he always in that garden? I cornered and made my way to the garden, trying as much as possible to keep the stiff smile on my face. He raised his head and as soon as he saw me the smile that appeared on his face was as though he had just seen fresh daises bloom in a garden. That was bad."Hey... How are you doing?" He asked, shaking his head happily at me."Great, great. How are you doing?"
NIA'S POVToday was the day and the fact that I was not shitting my pants was a miracle. A big one. While I knew that, had talked highly of Summer, his daughter, didn't all parents speak highly of their children? Even though they were brats, they were all perfectly behaved in the eyes of his/her parents."Are you ready?" Silas asked me as we sat in the garden. I held on to the edge of the seat for dear life, panting. "I could have said let's forget it all but you know I can't, it's you and me in here, and she's out there, I can't call it off now because she's gonna find out and it's gonna look like I am lying or that you don't exist. What do you want?""I mean... I think I should meet her, I want to meet her. You have spoken so highly of her and I have concluded knowing that I want to meet her. Where is this sweet summer? Can I meet her already?" I joked, hoping that it would make the heavy air a little more lighter. Silas smiled at me and nodded, then raised a finger, asking for perm
