RavennaSomeone tapped my shoulder and I turned to glare at the culprit. Wait, wasn’t this the guard that escorted the queen the other day?“The queen requests for your presence.” He said robotically. “In the the throne room.”“Me?” I repeated pointing at myself to be sure. He didn’t reply but turned towards the entrance of the hall. I followed him with guarded steps. I know the Queen called for me but I still couldn’t believe it. Whatever… I was going to find out soon enough. After many twists and turns, he opened the door of the throne room. I stared ahead and seated on the throne was the Queen. I took a deep breath and sauntered into the room. “You are here.” She tapped her slender fingers gently on the throne’s armrest. I stared at her gestures, forgetting to bow.“Manners young lady.” She smiled with a sharp glint in her eyes. “Greetings Your Sovereignty.” I bowed, many thoughts racing through my mind. I’m in front of Her Majesty. Gosh! I’m really in

GaulinaviaThe loud whisperings of the people died down, once Alpha Lazarus stepped out of the mansion. In an orderly manner, they all bowed, with a loud "Greetings Alpha!"Lazarus acknowledged their hail with a nod of his head. "You may all rise." He ordered.He was about to continue, when hushed whispers filled the arena. Not even when his Beta implored them to keep shut, did they stop.With a lift of his head, Lazarus spotted the reason for their whispers. Stepping out of her car, was the person he hadn't been sure he'd see, for some years and more.She stared right back at him, and he ducked his gaze."Dismiss them," he whispered to his Beta, and turned to leave. He went over to Elise who had been looking at the spectacle without a word, and tried dragging her gently, into the mansion."Who's she?" She whispered, and he sensed her suppressed jealousy. He stifled a chuckle, and turned back to the woman, who was now walking towards them with calm strides."Queen Ravenna," he bowed h

GAULINAVIA.The sun was up, by the time Elise awoke, and scrambled off bed. She stretched her numb body, and stifled a yawn. She glanced beside her, the spot where Thomas had been lying, the previous night, but he wasn't there no more.Sunlight poured into the room, through the bare window, whose curtains had probably been pulled by Thomas.She walked out of the room, with the calmness of a matyr. Her hair lay down in a ruffled sheet over her shoulders, and not bothering to adjust it, she headed downstairs.No one was in the living room, and on second thoughts, she headed towards Lazarus's room. Her hand was already on the doorknob, when she heard some voices. It floated over the door, and she listened with rapt attention."And who is going to stop me?" She heard a voice ask. She knew it was Rory, and at that moment, his voice was unlike the one she was used to.Frowning, she leaned on the door, her hand still on the knob."No one is going to stop you, Rory." A calm voice, obviously L

EliseI could hear the loud thuds of my heart, against my chest, as I walked back to the castle. My conversation with Rory earlier on, rang through my head.Was that how he viewed it? Infact, was that how each of them viewed it? Maybe they individually wanted me for themselves?"Hey, you look troubled." So immersed, was in my thoughts, that I didn't register the footsteps, until I heard a familiar voice cut through my thoughts.I lifted my head and smile. At that moment, I was no longer sceptical, as I was of her."Queen Ravenna." I muttered."Oh please, just Ravenna would do. Are you heading to your room? Maybe we'd go together. I have nothing to do." I could tell it was a request, and although I wanted some alone time, to think, I didn't want to turn her down.Thus, I found myself nodding slowly. "Of course, we can go together." I smiled, and led the way.There was no hint of the two guys, as we walked past the living room. I had left Rory back in the woods. He was p

GAULINAVIA LazarusThe room was serene, as I paced back and forth its floor. The large chandeliers that hung above, on the ceiling, threw down white specks of light on the room. Just the way I wanted it.Thoughts of Rory filled my mind. I knew it was bound to happen. We weren't related, nor did we share anything in common. Whatever friendship we had created, was at the correctional center.Fighting over a mate, was something I knew would happen. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. Whatever was going to happen henceforth, if the current matter wasn't resolved, was bound to shatter our fragile relationship. Rory.... Thomas. Those were my Alpha friends, that I had become so close to.However... A cold look flashed across my eyes, and I lifted my gaze towards the ceiling. If we were going to fight over Elise, then so be it.I couldn't place it. Couldn't even tell if it was because of the mating bond, or whatever. However, I knew deep down, that the first ti
