Edwina
After the ceremony was over, I didn’t want to leave him.
I wanted to be with him from there on. To be his bride in 3 years was just too far for me.
How was I supposed to just leave after experiencing such a moment with him?
He took my hand and kissed me, and made me a promise that he would think of me every day, and he promised to protect me.
I stood on my toes and brought my lips closer to his for a kiss. This time he kissed me softly.
I loved how he tasted, but I hated how delicate he was with me when all I wanted was for him to hold me so tight and invade every inch of my body with his strong hands.
I wanted him to push me to the wall and tell me how he would take his stolen property, but he guessed he wanted to savor me.
It was time to leave, and we didn’t have a choice but to say goodbye.
My parents asked my maid to go in search of me and when she did, we bade the king and queen farewell.
It was the most beautiful night I have ever had, but who knew that it was about to take an unexpected turn?
We were going back home happily when we heard noise from the front. Our security vehicles had been attacked. Smoke filled the air and everyone could barely see what was going on.
My father got off his carriage and turned to his wolf to attack.
I could hear him fighting off some wolves, and I was confused.
I had never been in a situation where I would have to defend myself before. The guards that were with us shielded our carriage to make sure that no harm came to us while I prayed for my father’s safety.
The sound of roaring and tearing gave out that we were being attacked by very strong werewolves and their only wish was to kill us.
Soon, everything became quiet, and the smoke cleared from the air.
“Elijah? “Mother called out to my father, but there was no reply.
I slowly opened the door to the car, but mother held me back.
“Don’t go out there, it’s too dangerous” she whispered, but I was not willing to listen.
I got off the carriage and got out, then started calling my father but there was no response.
I slowly walked toward the smoke… before I could step any further, I saw him!
The man who changed my life for the worse forever.
Damien is the king of the most notorious rogues in the whole of the werewolf world.
His gang has no boundaries, they would take whatever they want whenever they want it without thinking twice and they would Treat it in the harshest way possible.
We have had experiences of rouge attacks before but never did we ever think that we would encounter an attack from Damien and his men.
Damien walked toward me and I trembled on my knees because he was tall, white-haired, and scary but not in a sexy way. He is evil!
His eyes were dark and emotionless and his voice was huge which left you trembling in your spine.
I don’t know what he gets his powers from but rumors have it that he seeks other external forces to give him power and his wolf isn’t ordinary! He had the power of a lycan just like Edward but I heard that he could do some extraordinary things.
These were just rumors at that time but with the years I have spent as Damien’s captive, I have grown to know the kind of man Damien is.
He even gets visits from shamans and sorcerers where he is brought some unexplainable thing that they inject in him for powers. Damien is too strong!
As Damien walked towards me that night, fear enveloped me but I couldn’t act weak now because I needed to know why Father was safe.
“What have you done to my father?” I cried.
“Oh, daddy’s little girl!” He mocked
“Bring her father!“ he commanded and his voice left some fearful echoes behind.
Two men came holding my father. He had turned back to his human form because he was badly hurt. My mother ran out of the car immediately towards him.
“Please leave him alone! she yelled at Damien
“Oh well, your wish is my command!” He smiled evilly and grappled my father by the shoulder and ripped his claws into his chest to rip out his heart!
“I screamed as I watched my father's helpless body fall to the ground without his heart.
I had never seen anything so gruesome in my life.
My mother collapsed at the sight of this. She couldn’t take it and neither could I.
Tears poured out of my eyes…I felt like some itching had been cut off from my body and I was right to feel that way, something has been taken from my life forever and my life will never remain the same.
I fell to my knees and wept in pain but Damien was not done with me…
“Well you asked me to leave him alone so I obeyed your precious command… Now what else would you have me do ma’am?” He had a wicked grin on his face.
All I could do was weep while looking at my dad's lifeless body on the floor and my mom passed out beside me.
The two men walked forward to me and carried my mother up…
“Wa…wait, what are you doing? Please don’t hurt her! “ I begged.
“Do you even know what is happening here, little princess? Umm, do you?”
I’m sure you don’t but I’ll tell you! This Is a coup and I have taken over your kingdom!
There’s no way I’d keep the current king alive if I plan to take over and I'm sure you understand that.” He smiled
“Now to further business, there is no way I would keep the queen alive either!” He walked toward my mother and brought out his claws to kill her too.
On my knees, I rushed to him while on my knees and held on to him begging him
“Please do not hurt her, I beg you! You can take anything you want, you can even take the whole kingdom. We won’t bother you ever! We would leave this place and go far away to a place where you would never see us again. I beg you, Damien… I will do anything you ask of me, just don’t hurt her.” I cried.
“Hmm my dear princess Edwina, it makes no difference to me if you and your mother stay or leave because the truth is that I already own Avalor and you two weaklings cannot stop me. But there is one thing you can do for me…” he tossed my mother to the side and took my hands like he was caring.
“Please wipe your tears…there is no course for tears here.” He stood me up and wiped my tears with his hand.
“So, as I was saying, Princess Edwina. I am aware that you are coming from a betrothal ceremony with King Edward!
Congratulations on your engagement!” He said
I hated every word that came out of his mouth and I hated that he kept talking!
Apart from him being a heartless and cold monster, he is also the biggest asshole I have ever encountered.
“I have a little favor to ask you please, can you do it for me, pretty please.” I don’t know if he thought he was being cute but it was just disgusting.
“ I would like you to send a message to your fiancé, King Edward! Tell him that you’re in trouble and you need help because your carriage got damaged! I know he will come running to your rescue! Hey!”
He called one of his men and made his dress up in the attire of one of my guards, then gave me a note and asked me to write and seal it so that the messenger would take it to Edward and I did what he asked while his men camped at the middle of the road, waiting for Edward to come…
I just knew that he wanted to kill Edward and I prayed in my heart that he came with men who would fight against this evil Damien and his pack of rouges.
My mother had finally gotten up from her collapse and when she opened her eyes, she was looking at the same thing that made her collapse in the first place.
My dead father on the floor, he died shamelessly on the street but I take comfort in the fact that he died protecting his family….
