Elowen ‘s POV
“Please, don’t tell anybody I had 3 daughters,” I was so scared and crying as I told my maid that helped me deliver my daughters.
Then we had a knock on the door. My heart skipped in fear. I don't want my daughters to be taken away from me. How do I save them?.I was startled when I heard the voice of the guard.
“Open up, I’m here to tell you Darius has been arrested.”
My maid guard took one of my daughters and went to meet him at the door.
“His sister gave birth to a baby girl.”
There was a smirk on his face as he delivered his message and left.
“We’re lucky we got saved this time.”
But for how long are we going to continue hiding? The question hit me differently. I wondered how long I will hide them from the world because I know they will be killed if Alpha finds out.
I decided to flee with them. I wrapped them up and stuffed Kia and Lara. I hid them in a big basket and carried only Aria.
I walked down the hallway hoping not to be seen by anybody.
“My queen” I froze as I heard my name being called by the chief guard. I paused.
Have I been caught? I wondered
So this is the end of me and my daughters. I’ve been caught. I won’t let them take my daughters away from me.
“Never.”I turned slowly to him
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Before Alpha left, he said we shouldn’t let you go outside and take care of you.”
A tear fell off my eye. Even in his absence I’m still being watched.
I just stood there not knowing what to say or do as I tried to think of what to do.
“My Queen , let’s go inside, come.” My maid guard appeared. She took the basket from me and led me inside my room.
“As long as you are in this house he won’t do anything. But once you step outside, he will find the 3 daughters and kill them.”
You have to stay here and protect your 3 daughters. Nobody will know that you have 3 daughters.
I will protect them. I will protect them at any cost. I will protect all three, but I will show I have only one daughter.
I stepped outside. I assembled everyone and I declared in an angry tone.
“From today, in the absence of my brother, no one is allowed to step into the throne room down to the inner chamber and mine, except my maid guard.”
I named my eldest Lara, Kira, and Aria.
I raised all 3 like one. I watched them grow in love, peace, and unity.
I sewed matching outfits for them.
You three will go to school from now on. On Monday Lara will go, on Tuesday Kia will go, and then on Wednesday Aria will go.
Only one of you will go to school at a time.
“You’re not 3 individuals, you’re a single person.”
“Always stay united.”
Every day I made sure they wore the same outfit, and I made the same hairstyle. Each day they knew whose turn it was to attend school.
When one gets back she will tell the others what was being taught in school.
When one falls sick, then the rest is assumed to be. They won’t go to school till she gets better.
We have lived like this for 20 years, but now their uncle, who perceives their existence as a threat to his life, is back.
I must protect them. I won’t let him harm them.
***
As my daughters held me, I saw the fear in their eyes. Except in Aria’s eyes, all I could see was anger. I could sense the wolf within her struggling to be free, but she keeps fighting it to suppress it.
She is different from the other two. She has extraordinary and imaginary powers she is still yet to find out. But their wolves have been unlocked, Aria's is the strongest. She inherited her powers from my father.
My dad was the strongest of the packs, he was loved by all .He fought so hard to protect valydrion from external forces.
I have always thought the powers that I never had were reserved for her.
“He demanded to see you, but I want one of you to go , observing them to see their reaction.
“I will go.” Aria burst out.
I looked up at her. I couldn’t let her go because she might lose it. I have always feared the day her wolf will completely take over her, because I know it will be disastrous.
Lara will go.
“When he sees her, he will sense fear. Permit me to go, mother.”Aria demanded.
“No arguing. Lara will meet him and you two, will remain unseen.”
We walked down the hallway to the throne room.
Alpha sat at the throne as we opened the door and entered.
“This is my daughter. Her name is Lara.”
She bowed down her head as I had instructed her earlier.
He didn’t speak a word but continued staring at her.
“Raise your head child, let me see you”.
Lara lifted her eyes, for a moment Aldric said nothing.
Do you fear me little one? He asked her
You should, fear keeps you alive. He said his voice was deep and fierce.
My heart hammered in her chest.
Alpha turned away with a dismissive wave of hand which signifies they should leave
He watched us exit.
He suspects nothing,..
I nodded still in panic “yes and that's more reason we should be more careful as we walked back to my chamber.
My brother has always been aggressive since birth.
He inherited his evil powers from a sorcerer he once lived with.
I only have him, he ran away from home and fell into the hands of a witch who groomed him to be so cruel.
I still vividly recall my husband's death,how he was slain right under my nose by this monster.
I dont have powers to fight him that's one thing I never inherited from my parents .
We walked back to my chamber in silence.
