ElizabethHe did not react after I revealed that. I cleared my throat and caressed the body of the cup I was holding. He remained watching me, and even though I am not direct in looking at him, I could still see him from my peripheral vision.“It was a long night. Prince Ronald walked away from the crowd, so out of curiosity, I followed him, afraid that a bunch of thieves would get to him,” I said and furrowed my eyebrows. “It’s not like I have the power to fight thieves, but as long as the prince, everything would be fine.”I lifted my gaze to him, and his attention was not now on the mug he was observing a while ago. This time, he was very serious while his jaw was clenching.“I saw him talking to a man in black. I could not see its face, but I heard their conversation,” I continued. “It seems like Prince Ronald is plotting against King Alexander. He will poison the king, to kill him!”I held back the irritation seeping inside me, so I breathed in and out. “And he saw me listening.

Diego"Diego!"I was awoken by a door's raid. I opened my eyes and got up from my bed when I saw Roy getting inside the hut I was in. He looked stressed out and confused."What?" I mumbled seriously."I thought you were gone!" he said and sighed as if he was so tired. He placed his hands on his hips. "Anyway, you have to go back to the habitat. The alpha wants to see you.""My father... wants to see me?" I asked him."Well, yes," he answered.I only furrowed my eyebrows, baffled and pretended that I did not understand what he just said. My father never wanted to see me. The last time we talked in a hearty manner was the time when my mother died. And yes, to include the part when I killed her. Both my father and my brother despised me because of that. I knew deep inside that they wanted to kill me as a revenge for what I did to my mother.Even though I could not get the idea of talking to my father about whatever he wanted to talk about except hiding from the habitat when I get aggres

ElizabethMy eyes slowly widened and it was as if the silence has deafened me with very high intensity. The villagers that surrounded me barely touched me, but they are nearing their faces with worried expressions. I could not hear nor focus on them anymore because my eyes are fixated on the face of death – Prince Ronald.For a while, shockness prevailed over his face. He furrowed his eyebrows firmly and blinked hardly before he exchanged them with a worried one. He moved through the villagers and attended to me.“My lady! What happened to you?” he asked me with concern and sat in front of me. “Are you okay? Where have you been?”When he tried to grab me, I abruptly retreated my head and glared at him. Sweats formed on his forehead and the darkness in his eyes just like what I saw him that night emerged.“Go away from me! Don’t touch me!” I exclaimed and moved away from his hand.“My lady,” he called me and smiled weakly as if almost innocent. “Come with me. I won’t hurt you.”The san

Elizabeth I never knew where my mother was. After she was fled by the overwhelming number of bats, the villagers helped me find her around the forests not far away. It took two nights before we gave up looking for her. Instead, I just placed a picture of her just outside our house. Currently, I am looking at her smiling face with her sweet eyes and beautiful smile. This time, she was now on a frame. I would never see nor hear her voice again. I breathed in and out as I watched the rays of the sun rising from above, hitting its glass. “I do not understand what you were trying to say, mother,” I said and tears stung my eyes. “I still have not met the werewolf that gave me a bite mark. And I do not have the intention and aspiration to meet him anyway.” For a weird reason, I kept dreaming about the night the werewolf has bitten my neck. I did not want to overthink it, but it must have something to do with the voice of my mother emerging in my mind. She wants me to marry Prince Ronald.

Elizabeth "Elizabeth! Hey!" I heard Nikita's voice from afar while I was getting water from the well. When I looked at her, she was running towards me. My eyebrows furrowed when I saw that she was with Diego who was smoldering while his hands were on his pockets. I sighed and remembered that she left me with Prince Ronald on the day my mother died. But I have the knowledge that she just went away and did not believe in me since I am gravely accusing a prince. And of course she would be tentative to believe in me because I am her best friend. I understood it in the end. I am afraid that she'll be killed if I try to push the truth through. "There you are!" she said worriedly and held my shoulders. "My father said that I should visit you because you are mourning about your mother's death." I smiled weakly. "Thank you, Nikita," I said. "I am fine." "Oh, goodness. I am very sorry!" She pulled my hand to embrace me with a hug. I closed my eyes briefly to feel the warmth of a friend b
