The Royal Office. 10:45 pm * Knock* " Enter" A drained gruff voice speaks from inside and the speaker enters. Bowing. " The black warrant for tomorrow's hanging. It needs to be signed by you, Your Highness. " " Put it down. Dismiss. " Placing the Manila folder on Zachary's desk. The guard bows and leaves. The door closes and Zachary's eyes stay fixated on the document. Clenching his fists. He extends his hand to pick it up. Taking a deep breath, he flips it open. And the small passport-size photo in the right corner made a knot twist in his stomach. Those brown eyes which were once his world stared back at him in coldness and those wild tendrils he loved to take hold of when he entered her, were wildly cupping her oval face. Eirene Waters aka Phoenix The name written at the top mocked him like a sick joke. The two persons he loved and hated the most in his life, we together in one line. They were one. Unknowingly the corner of the warrant gripped in his fingers, crumbles to the extent of tearing off. His livid eyes dare to look down and he will be lying if he said he has seen a captive before with such a long list of criminalities. 276 Sections breached in total. 35 Murders. The list of those murdered went onto the next page. Yet the first two names caught his undivided attention. London Winters. Rose Winters. She murdered her own parents at the mere age of 10 years. The one who could do that? Could kill anyone. Sense of emotions, love, and care were not dead in her. They weren't even born in her in the first place. Yet, he fell for her. Zachary scoffs at himself. Hating himself more than her. The girl has made of fool of him and his feelings. Love. The word sounds more toxic than poison now. And those brown eyes, satirize at him every time he looked at them. It's good that they will close down forever tomorrow. They don't deserve to blink. Trailing down his finger down the names. He searches for one specific one in particular. And his finger stops at the 18th. Xavier King. 21 years. His eyes tear up just reading his name. A thousand emotions hit his insides. Self-hate being the most prominent of all. The image of seeing his younger brothers burned dead body at a neighboring kingdom's border. Made him crack like a live wire. Getting up, Zachary slams his fist on the wall. Cracking the very concrete. He couldn't save him. Crack. He was late. Crack. He didn't deserve to be even called a brother. Crack. He fuc*ing fell in love with his brother's murderer! Fuc*! Blood seeped down his wrists and he breathed heavily to not even bother. The physical pain was nothing in contrast to the emotions simmering inside him. His knuckles were all red, skin punctured and the wall had a huge hole in it. Running his bloody fingers through his hair, he turns around to grab the pen in his deathly grip. He started through his blurred vision at the bottom of the page where he was supposed to sign. His hand quivered. Mouth runs dry. And he closes his eyes. " I love you Zach...had and always will. " " You are the best thing that happened in my life." . . . " Bro! You know you don't have to be so upright all the time. " " Loosen up." " I am afraid your stupidity is going to drop you in deep shit one day, Xav. " " Chill. Till I have you, bro. I know you will be there to pull me out of any shit I am in. " " Hell, you will even pull me out of the claws of the god of death if he ever comes to take me. " " That's bullshit!" " I love you too bro!" Zachary's eyes snap open and without any other thought. He did it. His trembling fingers scribble his signature on the lower corner. And as soon as he wrote the last letter, he allowed the pens nib to break. The pen drops from his hands. His breathing was uneven. And one lone teardrop dribbles down his chin to taint the name written at the top. Eirene. " Why..." Was all he could ask as his legs failed him and he slumps back in his chair. " Why did you betray me, dewdrop? WHY!" ...Related chapters

Every morning brings in new hope and dreams. It's a testament to the fact that no matter how dark the night is, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. But not today. Not for her. The day progressed and before anyone knew it, it was already dark. The rattling of chains echoes around her, as her body is pulled forward through the Martin chain attached to her waist. Her naked feet stagger, struggling to move forward when suddenly they get caught on something and she finds herself falling forward. With hands tied and a heavy round neck chain pulling her down. She couldn't even break her fall and a shattering pain hit her jaw. She could taste blood in her lips and a crease appeared on her forehead. " Get up bastard. We don't have the entire day for this. " She tried. But she couldn't. When she didn't move the man holding her chains, sighed in exasperation. " I guess you still want what they call the last-minute motivation. " Before she knows it, a s

The crowd goes crazy instantly. Few even take out their shoes and start throwing them at him. " Kill him!" " Murderer!" " Burn him alive!" " Show his face!" No matter what the people say, Phoenix's black hood-covered face doesn't lower. He walks straight and tall. The guards continue to drag him forward. His body crosses the council and a strange knot twists in Zach's stomach. Emerald's hand rests on his shoulder for support, but at that moment it means nothing. All he could feel was that strange feeling of dread inside. Like he was going to do the biggest sin in his life, which will neutralize all good he ever did. No. She deserves this. There is no turning back. He can't possibly sympathize with a murderer now. Fighting his resolute he looked down to find a trail of blood following her.

A figure impatiently waits in the grey-walled room, her eyes trail around in anxiousness. Her fingers tap on her assistive cane handle. When the door is pushed open. " Dr Raven. Welcome. " . . " Sir Wilson. Hello. " A man steps in wearing the Royal Guards uniform, 5 stars marred his dress's shoulder showing he was a high-ranking officer. Settling on the seat in in front of her, he sighs folding his hands on the table. Looking into the doctor's eyes. " Any update?" The woman in her late 30s just sighs to push forward some papers, her eyes refuse to break eye contact with the officer. A strange determination shined in her eyes. " With the lack of any medical facilities here, her and the child's condition is set to deteriorate. This is a letter of appeal to the Royal court to shift the prisoners to the Eastern Prison." " These medical reports will be a proof of it. " The officer stares at the woman for a few seconds and then a smirk makes way on his lips.

Raven walks down the corridor of the dungeon with screams and cries echoing around. Cells lined on her either side. Her grip on her medical suitcase tightens as she stares at the huge metal gates in front. The special chamber. That's what they call it. The most dangerous torture room in the world. Equipped with temperature control, gas chambers, and the world's most deadly and brutal torture devices ever known. Gulping, Raven looks up at the two guards blocking her exit. Without a word, she just passes them her pass and they nod to push open the door. She enters and the door closes behind. It was too dark and cold inside and Raven felt a shiver travel down her spine. Hugging herself, she was on high alert. With prisoners like her, no one is safe. Even though she was no threat, Phoenix didn't know this. Switching on the bulb hanging in the center, Raven tries to locate her when she finds a figure curled up in the corner. And her stiff shoulders slump.

Starting into those brown deadly orbs seeping with coldness, showing no signs of recognition. Raven opened her lips to speak, knowing these may be her last words if not chosen correctly. "No fire can ever burn you, let alone touch you if the one burning inside you is brighter than the one around you. " As soon as those words left Raven's lips, those dead eyes shone with a flick of an emotion. Phoenix's grip on the syringe loosens as she furrows her brows to seethe. " Who are y...ou?" " Someone you may not remember, but you are someone I can't forget. " "24th August, Filian Street, a house was set on fire. You saved my child." " Risa" Those brown orbs search for something in Raven's determined ones and then click. Phoenix throws aside the syringe to move back, leaning on the wall she closes her eyes as if nothing happened. " What do y..ou want?" " I am your doctor, my Quee-..I mean Phoenix. I am here to help you get better." Struggling to get up with her

6 months ago. Runderwood no man's land. 7:45 am Eirene's POV The two things I love more than anything in this world are sleep and food. And I don't compromise on them for anything. None. Nothing. "Please... please...leave me I beg! Please..." A woman's shrills of pleas continue to drill into my eardrums like pointed knives and I groan. Turning to another side, I fold my plans and press them under my ears. A feeble attempt to block the noise. "The princess is beautiful. What if we have our share of fun with her boys?" " Grab her." " Agghhh nooo! Please....take anything....but leave me...helpppppp!" The ripping of clothes follows her yells and my fists clench. Sleep has become really underrated these days. I travelled a thousand miles to find silence in this no man's land of wildness, to only hear this? " I...I have money...please take it..but let me go...I won't tell anyone...please." I am not ashamed to admit but this piqued my interest. Did sh

Her beautiful eyes scan me from top and bottom and I raise my brow. " I didn't say otherwise. Now did I?" Her cheeks taint red in embarrassment. Her eyes light up like a firecracker and she takes my hoodie hanging from my fingers rather too enthusiastically. " I don't know how to thank you. " " Then don't. I wasn't here to save you anyway" My cold voice killed her enthusiasm. But only for a second. She rebounded. With more energy than the damn sun. " But you did! And it was so cool! The way you aimed that knife, I won't lie. For a second I thought I was going to die. The knife was just inches away from my face." "And oh boy I can never forget that look on their faces. It was like they saw a ghost. But what I didn't understand is why they were so scared of you?" " Do you know them?" I wanted to roll my eyes at her question. Everyone knows me, but not as a hero. I bet if she knew who I was, she would be running to the hills rather than chatting around with me like we

Standing in the heart of the mystical forest, encircled by the world's oldest towering trees and sky-high castle walls, is the Royal Werewolf castle. Its ancient architecture can put the present human skyscrapers to shame and its stonework deserves to be charged a ticket for visiting. Enveloped in an aura of mystery and power, it is every kid's dream to be here, standing where I stand right now. Massive steel gates with gold wolf motifs welcome the guests and I hear my carriage stop with a thud. “ The invitation?” The guard speaks and the rogue I bribed enacts his role. Bowing he presents them with the scroll to speak. “ Princess Emerald from the Southern Highlands, Sirs” I suppressed a groan, he was overacting now, I told him not to speak anything. One of the guards stares at the scroll with concentrated features, while the other peeps through the carriage window to check, his eyes fix on me and he bows immediately. “ Welcome Princess” I barely nod and the carriage st

Three pairs of thudding footsteps run through the deserted forest as screams and cries echo behind. Their breathes were laboured but none could afford to catch their breath, even for a second. " Aunt Raven. We need to stop. I am not going to flee like this." " Father, Saph and grandma need me! They are there all alone!" One pair stops to be only dragged ahead by Raven's grip on his petite wrist. He thrashes, begrudgingly moving ahead. " Don't be stupid Aiden! This is a war! They are going to kill you mercilessly if they reach us!" " We need to reach safety! Your mom is waiting for you!" Raven's blunt authoritative voice did nothing to alter the kids resolute. Determination shone in the kids eyes as he tugs to withraw Raven's grip from his wrist. Everyone stops to stare at the resilient boy. " Mom never taught me to abandon my people and run away like a coward. I am going back-" Aiden turns around to go back when Rowan steps in front of him to block his way. Softly

Zachary stood on the barrister, his emotionless eyes look down at the enemies army approaching his castle from all sides. Small forest fires lit the forest and he could hear distant screams. Clenching the barister tightly, he whispers in a low voice. " How many, Ron?" " In hundred thousands, Your Highness! We were attacked together from all borders! My estimate is that there are way more than 5 packs. And if I am not wrong it…it…” Zachary sighs to complete it for Ron. “ It's a coup.” Deadly silence followed. No one said anything and Zach breaks into a series of coughs. Unable to keep them in. Catching his breath, he gave his next order. “ Escort the elder and woman out. Take Aiden-” “ We are taking him along.” Zachary’s eyes shift to Rowan and Raven standing on the threshold. He could see the determination in Rowan’s eyes and this time he had nothing to argue about. In times such as this, the kid will be more safe with his family. Nodding Zach sighs to lean a

Zachary ‘s Pov “ I am so sorry, Your Highness. But it all happened in a mere second and the person just vanished in thin air.” “ I have never seen something like this before. However one thing that got confirmed was that Wilson was working for someone.” “ And when we caught him? The man feared that his name will be spilled so he killed Wilson on the spot.” A series of coughs break through and I feel my chest constricting. My palms resting on the table clench into fists and I take deep breaths. “ Sir!” Ron rushes to offer me a glass of water and I gulp the cold liquid. What all that healer, Raven said is turning out to be true. There is no use delaying this. Not even till tomorrow. I have to declare it. Now. “ Ron?” “ Yes your Highness?” “ Are all the elders staying over?” “ Yes Sir, everyone arrived for the judgement tomorrow.” “ Call then over to the meeting room in 5” Another series of coughs break through my chest and Ron nods. “ Should I inform Qu

Aiden's POV " So this herb help in inflammation?" I ask, crouching in front of a shrub and tugging on its leaves. To only have Saph's eyes veer to me. " It's Verbena. Known to have potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic, and analgesic effects." I was star stuck for a second, this girl is a prodigy. Isn't she too young to have all this knowledge? " If you don't mind me asking. Can I ask you something." " It's not like you are going to shut up anyways." Damn. A smile tugs on my lips when I should be offended. Her brown hair shine golden under the setting sun and I couldn't help feel my hand twitch. I wonder how it would feel running my fingers through them. Soft as silk or even better? " Why do you do this? I mean helping your grandmother and all this healing stuff? When girls your age are busy playing with make up and ken dolls?" She stills to look up at me. Was that irritation? Just why can't I feel her emotions. It would have been so easy to

A figure hurriedly throws her clothes into a duffle bag. Her body tensed and wary of anyone seeing her. Walking to the locker in one of the wardrobes, she inserts the key to pull it open. Picking up wads of money, she drops them in another bag. " Princess. What are you doing?" Her heart stops in her chest, but as soon as she realises it is Caleb,she relaxes. " Cal. Thank moon goddess you are here. Come help me out. Stack all the currency in this bag." " Hurry up! Please! " " What's wrong with you? Hold on." " No! We don't have time! He is going to kill us dammit! Just hurry up! We have to leave!" " Where is your bag? Why didn't you get it! Fuc* Cal! Hurry up goddammit!" " Em. Look at me."

Xavier’s pov I stare at the paper she left on my table and my heart becomes audible in my ears. I had yet to digest her earlier words. You killed her. I didn't care what this world thinks. But the very thought of Dewdrop thinking I did this… her last thoughts of me being her betrayer, of me killing our child left a deep hole in my heart. I couldn't breathe. The room was suddenly seeming smaller and the weight of the realisation? Was pushing me down. Who could have done this? Which fucker dared! The gnawing in my chest worsens and I scratch my chest with my claws. No… the woman may be lying…why…why would someone kill.. She was carrying a child in her womb. Many didn't want the child to be born. No. Fuck! Ripping open the piece of paper, I look down at the words and for a minute everything around me stills.

" Why isn't his mother here?" Zach's voice was low, yet the warning in it was clear. I try to concoct a lie. My eyes refuse to meet his. " Umm she.. she was busy." " I hate liars Doctor. Refrain. I am going to ask it again. Why isn't she here?" Damn it! What was I supposed to say? That if Maital comes here and you see her? You may die of a heart seizure? " Actually she..she is not feeling well. We don't want the kid to worry so we lied." This time I speak while looking into his eyes. He holds my stare, his brows furrow and my heart thuds. Please believe... please. " We have the best medical facilities here. She will be good in no time. I will make the necessary arrangements for her transportation ." What the hell? He is serious. He was going to mind link one of his guards when I step forward to interrupt him. " You don't have to! We will take Aiden and he will meet her at home-" Zachary looked mad. What did I say now?

Focusing her attention back on me. She motions her hands to explain me. “ See mothers have this instinct in them which keeps their kids connected to them.” “ Like how a newborn cries in hunger and mothers body gets to know of it.” “ With time this bond gets lost somewhere but it still exists.” “ What are you trying to say?” I groan in irritation and she declares with a duh look. “ Your mother didn't worry for you because she knew you were fine. Her heart told her before only.” “ And as far coming here is concerned. She trusts you enough to know you can defend yourself and find your way home.” “ Isn’t this why she trained you all this time? To be strong and independent?” A memory flashes in my mind of the first time I went crying to her. Her words are still imprinted in my heart. No one cares about your tears in this world, Son.If you still want to let it out? Do it alone. You may be born inside me but both you and me will die alone. Never be dependent on anyone.

Aiden's pov I slam my bedroom door shut and lock it from the inside.Tears begged to spill from my eyes and I take deep breaths. " Mumchkin open up! Listen to me!" Uncle Rowan bangs on the door and I do my best to muffle my cries. I wasn't a cry baby. Mom has taught me to never let my emotions get the best of me. But it hurts mama. You didn't even came yourself to get me? Weren't you concerned of how I was living? Or if even I was dead or alive? I know you rarely show your emotions, a hug is the most I could get from you or rather a tap on my head. But I haven't seen you in a week. I was here living with strangers and you couldn't bother to come. You are always busy. Is your work more important than me? Each thought churned something inside me and the tears continue to dribble down my cheeks. " Aiden! Your momma loves you Mumchkin." I am starting to doubt that uncle Rowan.
