Princess's guard. Who the hell was she? "Who are you?" I voiced my question. The three looked at each other and then dragged me into a lonely corner.

"Do not shout alright? I am…," she looked around us. "The princess of Zyrenia." Oh. I stayed quiet and her expressions told me that she expected me to scream or react in some way.

I had never came across a royalty before, so, I didn't know how would they want me to behave. Should I bow? Father says never to bow before anyone except the goddesses but, I couldn't afford to raise suspicion on me. I stiffly bowed my head as if asking if I am doing it right. "No, no don't do that in the public eye." She said motioning me to stand up. "So what do you say?" She asked. What do I say?

"Pardon me, your…highness….but, don't you have about thousands of soldiers guarding the castle? Why would you want me to guard you?" I inquired.

"Yes," she huffed. "But they are not my soldiers they are my brother's. They only follow his commands, they won't let

    I kept my hands steadily folded behind my back to hide them from the observing eyes of my doubtful mate. My hands were clenched tightly from the anxiety and even a small movement from me could reveal my real identity to him. His dark gaze never left me, as he was scrutinized my every feature from the tip of my hair to the sole of my foot.I told everyone that I came from a village far away, to meet a friend here, but the suspicion in the Alpha King's eyes never subsided. The princess was fidgeting impatiently beside me. "So what do you say, brother?" The princess asked and her brother's eyes finally moved from me. "I don't think it is a wise decision, Princess. She is a female herself, how will she protect you from the danger when she herself need protection?" The King gave his opinion and I was offended. "If you think that being a female makes someone a wekaer or lesser of a being, then you are in denial." Some gasps sounded at my comment and I looked around myself. Everyone was l

  • The Slayer   The Blood Oath

    The blood oath was a bond among people, who swear their loyalty and confraternity to each other, connecting them through their blood. The bond allowed the tied ones to communicate through the mental conversations. I was going to be tied to the bond that all the soldiers, and guards share with the royal family.I was given a new uniform which was made of brown leather, suitable for carrying weapons around and comfortable moving. We were on our way to the temple at the heart of the town to perform the ritual. A mini parade was prepared to accompany us to our destination. Four groups of armoured soldiers was at our sides, led by the King and his men.The commoners were standing on the sides of the broad way and peeped through their windows to look at the royal party. Children were screaming in excitement while their mothers pulled them back and hushed them. We arrived at our destination and the group ahead of us split into two to make way for us to ascend the steps of the pristine templ

    I navigated my way through the brightly lit hallways of the walloping castle to look for my chambers. I took in every turn and narrow hidden cabinets to memorize the structure in casez I ever needed it in the future.The echo of my boots hitting the shiny floor was the only sound beside the wind howling outside. . My demeanor was calm but my mind was racing a mile, thinking about how could I break through the heavy settings of guard at the dungeons without getting caught. After my little intrusion a few days ago, the security had been raised up."Are you the new guard to the princess?" A female asked from behind me. "Yes." I answered."The high priest has asked for you at the temple." She informed and I frowned in confusion. Why did the priest want to see me? Even earlier, he was looking at me weirdly. "Thank you." I nodded at the female and she returned to her work . Leaving the castle I reached the temple again that day, curious as to why the high priest would want to meet a stra

    "I don't belong at this table, princess. I will sit where I am supposed to. Enjoy your meal, please." I gently removed her hand from my arm and went to the table designated for people like me. Guards who protected important people and valuable belongings.I filled my plate and settled into an empty chair. I was the only female on this table, for no female joined this type of job. I noticed the way all the men stole glances at my direction in curiosity and in irritation. They were annoyed that a female was sitting among them where they were a sign of masculinity and strength.The sounds of footsteps on the polished floor caught everyone's attention. A female entered the dining hall, with two maids trailing behind her. Her honey blonde hair that reached to her waist swayed slightly with her walking as she made her way straight to the table where my mate sat eating his dinner quietly. It was as if she didn't even notice anyone around her beside him and quickly went to his side. "I apolo

    The tension in the room was so thick, I could cut it with a blade. Nervousness and anxiety had gripped my throat, making it hard to breathe properly. The cold man in front of me was just over the top of the reasons of my heightening stress. Willing my curled toes to relax under my shoes and straightening my spine, I got ready to face the problem."If I were your mate, Alpha King, then don't you think that we would have felt something by now. I'm sure there is something supposed to happen like some scent or… your wolf would be restless, wouldn't it?" I said moving my hands around."You are right but, I just can't seem to believe that." He started in his ever so emotionless, stoic voice. "Everything about you is just too much similar to her. Your hair, your eyes… your everything leads me to think that you are her." Reminding my heart to beat slowly in my chest, I nodded. "Have you met your mate before, Alpha king?" I asked him instead."Yes. I have met her once." He nodded. "Then why

    "Why did you tell him?" I questioned right after slamming the room of his chambers open. Startl5 he looked up to me, his hands freezing in mid of turning a page of the book of his lap.. "What did I tell to whom, my child?" He asked back in confusion. I huffed out an annoyed breath. "I don't have the time for your mimic innocence, high priest. Last night the king confronted me, asking me if I was his mate." His eyes broadened visibly at my statement. "He could have done that the other day when I came. But he only did that after you called me his mate. So, you must be the one to fill his ears." I accused him. He shook his head and walked towards the window, his back to me. "I can swear upon the goddess I didn't say anything to him. And why would I when I myself don't want him to know that?" He asked as he faced me again."And why don't you want him to know?" I asked frowning my eye brows in suspicion. "There are a lot of things here you don't know." He replied. "I have plenty of ti

    I knocked twice on the heavy cherry wood door waiting for a response. Tension coiled in my stomach urging me to take deep breaths. I wondered if it was the mate bond prickling my skin or was it just the nerves. Everytime I was in his proximity I feared that this time, I might be exposed.A muffled 'come in' sounded halting my thoughts. The words were so soft they were barely audible, but my heightened hearing picked it up. Ignoring the heavy feeling in my stomach and my wolf's excitedly wagging tail, I entered the room. I loved my wolf, but when she acted like this around him, it irritated me.The high ceiling room was covered in golden and dark blue colours. The giant sized bed was placed against the wall in the middle with a huge spacious balcony to let plenty of sunlight in. A room well made for a King. "I said you can come in." He barked. I may not be the person with the best etiquettes, but sometimes I wished I could smack him in the face to teach him some manners. Cursing and

    My whole being was on fire. Fire that threatened to melt my skin and burn my bones to ashes. With a loud gasp I sat up looking out for my surroundings. Everything was dark and perfectly fine but my body still felt like molten lava was poured over me and there was a low pain in my abdomen that promised to be more tormenting as the time passed. I fumbled in the dark for the water on my bedside. I took large gulps of chilled water and laid back. The pain never subsided, it only became more vigorous causing me to let out painful whimpers. I didn't know whatever was happening, I couldn't even lift my fingers from the exhaustion.Wriggling and thrashing, I didn't even realise when the first ray of morning's sun peeped into my room or when the doors flew open. Someone called my name frantically and came to my side touching my arms and forehead. I tried to calm my breathing and focused on the voice. "What happened Seraphina? Are you hurt? I'll help, tell me!" Adelia. "A-adel, it-it burns."

    "I'm going to miss you so much." Adel sobbed into my shoulder, her words barely coherent."I will miss you, too, Adel." I murmured, returning her hug that I had learned to accept over our time together.The horses were lined up at the main entrance, ready for the departure. Samuel was waiting patiently for his mate to deliver farewells. The princess and the twins have had their crying fest up in her Chambers early that morning. Genis was now standing on the side desperately trying to hold in her wails by clutching her mouth tightly and the princess had jer eyes red from continuously wiping them.She refused to cry like a small child in the front of others, saying it will disrupt jer image. And I… well let's say that ever since I matured, I had never cried on the outside."Adeline," my brother called, gently. "We have a long journey ahead. We must depart now." Sniffing loudly, Adel nodded and wiped her eyes and nose, pulling back from me."I must go now. Don't forget to write me letter

  • The Slayer   The Unforgettable Night

    The crowd shifted to make space for us in the middle of the hall right under the gigantic crystal chandelier. My heart racing in the contrast of my nervous hesitant steps. The Alpha King had to have felt the shaking of my pale hand with nerves as he lightly squeezed it and looked down at me and smiled in his own charming way.And it was in that moment that I realised how much he affected my whole being even with a simple action. A single tender look from him and the world seemed to vanish behind us in a fog.He took my hand in his calloused one and bowed slightly to which I managed a socially acceptable curtsy that the princess had taught me.He gently pulled me in and guided my other hand on his shoulder and rested his on the small of my back and swayed us along the sweet and slow melody.Right then, he could have led me to fall off of a clifftop and I still would have followed his lead, looking into his deep and warm brown eyes.We moved a step back then forward, swaying left to rig

  • The Slayer   The Ball Night

    "Your left, Seraphina! Your left foot!" Princess shouted and I cringed in reply, stopping mid-step. "Who in the world ever called this stupidity a dance? And why in the hell do people still follow this idiocy?" I huffed and blew the strands of hair out of my face. Oh goddess, these hair.The twins had unnecessarily spent their time braiding numerous sections of my hair and tying it to the back but left a piece to fall sideways from my forehead to down my cheek. The gown was perfectly ready and was downed upon me in a vice grip. I was not very comfortable to admit it but I looked like all the other females who would be joining the festival tonight. Honestly, I looked beautiful. The blood red fabric was bound to gain the attention of hundreds of eyes and the gold patterns that simmered in the correct light even made me compelled to keep looking.In the defense of the seamstress, the corset wasn't as tight as it looked to be but the very, very short sleeves that were fallen down, showi

    "So, now you are preparing to go to the dragons?" My brother asked shielding his eyes from the sun rays to watch me. I shook my head in denial, watching the garden keepers mow the grass on the far side."No. Not dragons. A dragon will never listen to us, no matter what we say but its master would've. I'm going to meet the dragon charmers." I said. Although, dragons were very smart, they didn't like to do anything for someone else, other than there master. So if we could convince them, the dragons would follow without a problem.He hummed. "I've heard many stories of how one of the former Kings befriended a charmer but something happened between them, a quarrel of sort and the dragon charmers broke off any relationship that they had with us wolves. Do your think they'll agree? I supposed they still—"I waited for him to complete his sentence but he never did. I turned to him and found the reason.In the midst of talking with me, his gaze had landed on his mate. Adel. She was sitting a

  • The Slayer   The Alpha's Feeling

    A knock sounded on my door and I hurried to hide the thick book away under the beddings. I rushed to open the doors and to say I was surprised would be an understatement. Alpha King was there with head held high, arms folded behind the back and a emotionless mask on his face. "Alpha King." I greeted, taking a step back."Seraphina. May I come in?" He asked. His voice blank like when he dealt with the cases in his throne room. I made the space for him to enter and my lips pursed in thoughts. What was he doing here at this late hour?The last few days, we had been keeping our necessary distance, although I wanted nothing more that to just sit in his company and get to know more about him like in the earlier days, but I restrained. He only asked for me to know about her sister's whereabouts and how she spent her day. We would engage in sparring a time or two and other than that, nothing.But I could sense his longing too, when he would stare after me to see if I looked back. Or when his

    I watched as his face crumpled in shock, as the wetness pooled in his eyes and as the first drop slid down his cheeks. I watched as the first whimper escaped his lips without his permission to mourn for the mother he never got to meet. He—my brother that I never knew of.Watching him cry was like I was seeing myself when I cried for her for the first time. Not when I was just a newborn and needed my mother to feed me, I was regarding the time when I saw other children crying because their mothers were fussing over them. After gaining my senses and having faced my struggles, I never cried openly for her again. Not even in front of father.But in that room, where we both shared the same grief of not knowing the one who brought us into this world, I cried. I cried, I wailed, I sobbed, I broke. Maybe it was because now that he knew I was his sister, he wanted to protect me or maybe it was just because he knew how I felt. But either way, he crossed the room and took me in his embrace and s

  • The Slayer   The Sibling

    The sun shone warmly as the whole castle buzzed with the energy of the people swarming in like the bees nowadays. Draperies and curtains of red and golden were hung strategically all over the castle, inside and out. Yesterday, I saw two giant wagons full of thick candles being unloaded outside the main entrance. No need to say, the preparations were being made in full force. This festival was indeed a huge occasion to celebrate. The Princess and the twins had been so excited and gloomy at the same time these past couple of weeks. On one hand, the ball was coming and they were looking forward to all the dressing up, heavy gowns and accessories and all the magnificent things that comes with it. But on the other hand, this festival will be the last time Adel will be with us. Soon after the festival she will return with her mate to her mew home and who knew when will we ever get to ever meet her again? Being her twin sister at that, Genis was taking it the hard of all of us.Alpha Samu

  • The Slayer   The Night At The Lake

    Paws thudded in the darkness crunching the soil beneath, snout up in the air trailing behind the scent he left in his wake. A crescent moon was hanging in the dark blue sky, providing its light on the ground.The route was familiar to me, maybe it was the trail that led to the small lake the princess came oftentimes.A howl pierced the otherwise silent night and I immediately knew who it come from. Was he really in that much pain that he couldn't suppress it physically? Did my rejection hurt him this much? But he shouldn't have been mulling over just some female's words. From an outsider's perspective I was just another female who the King admired, so what? He could find someone much better than me, someone much, much prettier and willing than me. Stepping out of the treeline, the lake came into my view and there he was, sitting at its shore now in his human form, stark naked. I wanted to retreat, now that I knew he was safe—not that he needed anyone to protect him if he encountere

  • The Slayer   The Upset Mate

    Knocking on the cherry wood of the chamber that was given to Alpha Samuel, I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor. After a moment, the Alpha himself opened the door and ushered me in with a confused frown. "I know I have seen you with my female a lot of times but forgive me, I didn't get your name." He politely said sitting on the chair of the work desk pushed in the corner of the room."Adel forgot to mention it, I guess. My name is Seraphina." I informed standing across him. "Well then, Seraphina. Have a seat, please." He gestured to the chair in front of me. "It iss alright, Alpha. I shouldn't disrespect you like that. You are an Alpha.""An Alpha is only an Alpha in his own territory. Here, I'm just a mere guest of the Alpha King. I don't have any command over anyone here, except my men who came with me. Now, sit down please." He insisted again and I couldn't decline anymore. A small smile displayed itself on his face, making his features look even more familiar."So, is the
