The two chiefs sung and dodged. Hid from foreign weapons of humans as they moved forward. They held no fear in their hearts as their hearts were no longer with them but with their queen.The one brought them peace, tranquillity and hope. They could not let her down again, they had already let her down when the humans took her from right under their noses.But now they had come to get her back and were willing to lay waste to the human kind if need be. The humans did not expert an ambush like that, therefore, they were not prepared and had no extra magazines to reload their powerful weapons.Gun shots were getting lesser and lesser as they ran out of ammunition. Some had long retreated when they saw how hopeless the situation was. If only they knew that they were not fighting ordinary men but gods.Beads of sweat covered Caleb and Zane’s bodies as they fought. Caleb was ecstatic, he had never had a battle like this before and he had never fought humans.He had to admit that they were w
Nazima didn’t say a word as they left. She heard everything that Kendra said and felt that she was right. Caleb was also to blame for what Victoria did. It was her obsession with him which he did nothing to stop that led to all this.Caleb kept stealing glances at Nazima waiting for her to say something but the queen said nothing. She has been through enough all because of Caleb and she wanted some space from him.She needed time to be alone and figure out what she wanted to do with her life. She thought that there could be something between Caleb and herself but after all this, she was not sure.By the time they got to shore, there were many people there swimming and some just enjoying the sun. Nazima turned to look at everyone. “We need to go that side so that the humans don’t see us.” She pointed at a quitter spot, and everyone agreed.The looks they were getting from people were too much for Nazima and Kendra. Especially Kendra. When she got there, she was unconscious and did not
Zane and Caleb shared a look, and they knew that something had changed within their queen. That she was no longer the same woman she was before she was taken. They lifted their heads and looked at her.She did not say a word and she did not have to. “My queen, it was our mistake, we did not know who the guardians were and at the time Victoria was acting like a victim and we wouldn’t have suspected her.” Zane tried to explain.“Also, it was already the third day and they only came forward now to tell us they knew where you were. What took them so long?” Caleb said and Nazima glared at him.“Is it not your job as my trusted advisers to make sure that I as your queen is always safe and protected all the time? Why are you now blaming the guardians for your incompetence?” she was angry, and they could all see it.“The guardian’s job is to guide and advise me of matters regarding the kingdom not to protect me, that is your job and you failed at it!” nazima exploded. She was tired, hungry an
At the penthouse facing the beach, a blond woman sat on the balcony watching the sunset. Her long legs stretched onto another chair as she laid back watching the view before here.The breeze kept caressing her fair and pale looking cheeks making her close her eyes enjoying the moment. A man in shorts and a vest sat next to her with a glass or red wine in his hand.His eyes were fixed on the woman as she kept closing her eyes. She was the most beautiful being he had ever seen. He kept taking small sips of his wine wetting his lips then running his tongue across them imagining her lips against his.The woman sighed as she thought of her home, how things might be now that she was found out. If her father was all right. Oh, her poor father, he had nothing to do with what she did and she was worried that he might face a certain death because of her.The man saw how troubled she looked and places a hand on her thigh and she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. He was handsome and made
It has been a rough couple of months for everyone close to Nazima especially Caleb and Zane. Nazima kept her distance from Caleb and focused on the kingdom. Things in the kingdom improved a lot over the past months.Nazima managed to get things sorted for all clan, borders dividing the clans visiting and giving support to those who needed it. all this she did will the help of the council but the travelling she did alone accompanied by the guards.She refused Caleb’s offer to go with and chose guards for herself which she also trained whenever she got a chance. She was lonely and distant to everyone, hardly ever smiled. She was like a robot with no feelings at all.Having enough of it all Zane and Caleb decided to ambush her so that they could talk to her alone since she was not giving them the time of day to talk to her outside of the meeting hall.They went to her chambers early that morning hoping to catch her before the meeting start and before she could disappear again. The guards
Zane dried her tears with his thumbs then cupped her cheeks and looked tenderly in her eyes. “It’s okay to be sad and cry my darling. It is also okay to look out for yourself and happiness.” He sighed looking at the poor girl.She was young but carried the burden of the whole kingdom on her shoulders. He wished he could step in for her so that she can be a young woman in love without the burden of a kingdom.“Nazima you are young and my wish for you is love and happiness. It doesn’t matter where or from whom or what form it comes in. I just want you to have it. I want you to make mistakes and not worry about the consequences.”Zane teared up, Nazima never got to be a child and live life like one. She was on the run at the age of thirteen and had been taught how to be responsible as she was to become queen.She never got to be a normal teenager and do what children her age did. When she came back home her goal was to take back the crown and save her people. She did all that and now th
Brandon was so preoccupied by the investors and people wanting to know more about the drug and how it worked that he forgot that Victoria was not back.When he realised that his woman was not by his side it was already twenty minutes later. He scanned the room for her but could not find her. he excused himself and went looking for her.He could not get into the ladies’ room and all he could do was to ask a woman who was going inside. “Miss, could you please help me?” the woman stopped and looked her him.She then smiled seductively when she noticed him. “Sure, anything for you handsome” Brandon could not careless for her flirting, all he wanted to do was to find Victoria.He fished his phone out of his pocket then showed the woman a picture of Victoria. “Can you please check if this woman is in there?” the woman frowned. She thought he wanted her number or something.“Fine, I will check.” She walked away leaving Brandon outside feeling anxious. She did not look for her, instead she di
They say pain makes you stronger and heartbreak makes you wiser. But Brandon’s heart break made him stupid, he still stayed on that beach on his knees with his heart bleeding every time he took a breath.But he stayed, with the hope that the woman he loved would return to him. The tide changed and the sunset. It got colder and the water kept hitting on him, but he stayed.He knew when he fell for her that he was being stupid. He fell for a woman whose heart belonged to another. All the effort he put into the relationship was like trying to fill a bucket full of holes with water.No matter how much you try the bucket will never be full as every time you tried to fill it the water escapes from the holes. That was Victoria and Brandon’s love. It hurt to admit that he was not as important to Victoria as he thought he was.He thought they had something, all these months he thought they were happy and in love. But the truth is that he was in love alone and that the woman’s heart was somewhe
