PRINCESS HELLEN'S POV
"None of you should say a word about our human mate to anyone. Let this remain between us," king Reagan commands, his eyes piercing each guest with a firm look. One by one, they all nod still looking shocked.
My plan did not succeed offcourse, I was hoping that she will get angry enough to accept their rejection but I guess she was so hurt to even remember doing it. I wonder if they had any bit of affection towards her in the first place. None of them had held back his distaste for her. They actually seemed to be enjoying hurting her feelings.I even had to bite on my lower lip to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have... brought it up loudly, all this wouldn't have happened." I mutter an apology pretentiously.
"It's fine, we would have had to tell her at last," king kian States calmly, his brothers nod.
"You should pay her and send her away before she tells anyone else, a human queen would be such a shame to our great kingdom." one of the councilmen suggests and the rest murmur their approval, the kings exchange contemplative glances.
That actually reminds me that I have another minor task to complete so that the kings can be free to stay with me indefinitely, without worrying about a thing. Getting up from my chair, I make eye contact with King Kian and wink.
"I'll be back, love." I excuse myself from the discussion and hastily depart the dining room.
At the foot of the lengthy staircase, Asher and Julia awaits me, with amused looks on their faces.
"She rushed out crying like a baby," Asher says with a mocking laugh when I get to them. As much as I want to chat and tell them how her mates embarrassed her we still have work to do.
"Go ensure she doesn't leave. I will go get the crown," I command, to which they both obediently nod before hurrying off.
I approach the four guards stationed at the entrance of the room where the crown is being kept and greet them with a warm smile.
"Your highness," they bow respectfully, admiration evident in their gazes. offcourse by now, news of my ability to lift even the most powerful curses has spread throughout the palace. "How may we assist you?"
"I simply wish to perform a routine check on the crown as we agreed with the kings" I reply smoothly fabricating an excuse.
After a brief exchange of nods, three guards step aside while one opens the doors for me, granting me access to the room.
I quickly walk in. Time is of the essence. I plan to take the crown quickly and return it before the kings notice.
The gleaming crown rests on a velvet cushion under a protective glass case, it's orbs shimmering dullily in the soft light of the room.
I walk forward and open the glass case.
Gently lift the crown from its secure enclosure and quickly hide it beneath the folds of my gown.
ELLA'S POV
I go straight to our servant room and grab my bag from under my bed, my hands shaking as I roughly shove all my clothes and few belongings in it without care.
I feel like the biggest fool.
Throughout my short life, I never had anything or anyone to cherish me. I never felt the need to possess someone, to hold onto them so tightly like I did with my mate. I thought I had found love. But instead... I was being played like a fool.
What more can they say to me?
What more can they do to break me?
What more can they take away?
Never in my wildest fucking dreams did I ever think that I would end up feeling this type of pain. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is the worst feeling
It feels even worse than when they rejected me and said all kind of mean words to me.If I knew what to say or do to hurt them as much as badly as they have hurt me, I would and I would scream it a hundred times on their faces, just so they know how it feels to have your heart ripped out.
I still can’t believe that princess Hellen knew everything that I did with them...
that’s the worst part. Even worse than the fact that after telling me that they loved me, and kissing me, they could apparently turn around and make a mockery of everything that happened between us in front of everyone.
While I was reliving the best details of the best days of my life, they were making plans with their true love to get my blood.
My eyes flicker bellow the upper side of my bed where two bunches of now withering rose flowers lie, I had tried to keep them as long as they would survive as memory of their love to me. Anger surge through me, and I snatch them up, hurling them against the concrete wall. And the Damn notes too!
Digging them out from under the beddings I rip them into as many pieces as I can, not realizing that I’m sobbing the whole time until I choke on my own breath.
I would give anything to rewind my life to the first day we got here. I would have accepted their rejection and let Princess Hellen have them. But instead, I foolishly gave up everything for them.
While I was coming up here I saw servants moving Princess Hellen's things out. Our room also looks empty as Asher's and Julia's belongings, clothes and beddings seems to have been moved too. Mine had been left ountouched. A clear sign that Princess Hellen is moving to the main palace.
and I am not welcomed there.
I have no plans of staying here anymore either, I have no idea where to go but I cannot endure another moment in this place. I don’t want the constant reminder of what I had with my mates. Well, what I thought I had.
It's late, I can't see in the dark and I am a weak human that anyone can take advantage of, so I can't leave now. I make a decision to lie down on until dawn and then I'll leave. It's not like any of them will be coming back here anyway. I blow out the single candle, close my eyes, and try to calm down.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoes through the room, startling me awake. I sit up, my heart pounding in my chest. The room is quite dark and before I can fully comprehend what is happening, something hard strikes my head with a sickening thud.
I gasp in pain. "What... what's happening?"
I reach up to touch the source of the pain, my fingertips coming away sticky with what I guess is blood. Darkness immediately begins to creep into the edges of my vision as I struggle to stay conscious.
"Help... please..."
The room spins around me, shadows dancing in the dark. With a final effort, I try to call out for help, but my voice fails me. As the world fades to black, the sound of hurried footsteps and hushed voices filling my ears.
