"Hey, I'm Zenab, Nancy told me a lot about you that I wish I had met both of you," Zenab said as a pearl of tears escaped from his eyes he quickly wipes it away.
We spend some time there before heading back to the house. Zenab and the rest of the two princes went out to start the paperwork to remove our parent's remains while Pana and I try to make lunch.
"My lady leave this to me and have some rest I can do this" she whimpers.
"I know Pana but here is not the palace and besides we have a lot of people to cook for" I protest.
"Well, my lady, I heard from the crown prince the guards and the two princes, prince Asher and prince Assin will stay in a guest house in town" she muttered trying to focus her attention on the vegetables she was chopping.
That will be great I won't have to deal with that silly prince Asher every day.
"Did you say something, my lady?" Pana asked staring at me strangely.
"No Pana, hurry up and finish that" I whisper as I clean my hand with the napkin and head out of the kitchen.
Ding...
Ding...
Ding... the doorbell rang 3 times.
"Oh, my holy mother of saints!" Pana grumbles as she drops a plate in fright at the sound of the doorbell.
"Careful Pana" I yell.
"Oh, my princess, are we under an attack? What do we do now?" She cries holding a kitchen knife in her hands.
"Relax Pana, it is just a doorbell" I sneer going to get the door. I was so happy to see Roland and Betty at the door.
"Come in guys, it's so good to see you two. Betty you did a great job with the house thank you" I whisper letting out a gentle smile.
"You are welcome bestie, um what is it with this one?" Betty whimpers pointing at Pana Who was still holding the knife firmly in her hand.
I scoff, "Pana you can go back to the kitchen now, they are my friends" I pout as she takes a deep breath.
"Oh my lady, it felt as if my heart was drumming in my chest just now and my blood rushing through my veins" Pana whispers holding her chest.
"That's enough Pana," I said with a gentle smile as I nod my head.
"Sorry, my lady" she whimpers before turning her back to leave.
"Wow, she is cute" Roland mumbled.
"Tell me have you guys seen Baby?" I whisper.
"What! Nancy, why are you asking about him?" Roland scoffed.
"I'm serious, I need to see him" I mumble.
"You can't be, he left you, remember?" Roland reminded as his eyes become wide.
"Yeah I am, I want to know how he is doing" I rumble.
"She is not going to stop until she sees the state he is in then she will be convinced, the last time I heard he goes to the central hall almost every day," Betty said.
"Okay, I need to go," I said picking up my jacket.
"Pana"
"Yes my lady"
"I'm going out if Zenab comes back let him I went out" I muttered heading to the door.
"But my lady I was told you can not go out without the guards" Pana protests.
"It's fine I will be back soon just finish cooking fast" I disappeared through the door before she could say another word. As Roland and Betty follow me out.
"Bye Pana, we will meet again" Betty whimpers.
"My lady, my lady please come back....." I heard her say behind me.
"Take this Nancy. Since I can't prevent you from going to look for him but swallow this" Roland offered.
If I didn't he is not going to stop nagging me and I know he has my best interest at heart, without asking any questions I took the pill molded round like a small ball, I dived it into my mouth, and swallow hard.
"Can I leave now?" I whisper as my head starts to spin.
"Roland what did you make me take why do I feel terrible?".
"It's something to keep your demon side weak and slowly die" he explains.
"What!"
'You can't let him do this to me'
'Don't'
'Spit it out
My demon side struggle in me as she groans in pain. I equally felt the pain as well.
"Nancy, while you were away I worked hard in making this, now you don't have to worry about your demon side taking control of your body" he muttered.
"But does it mean I -I won't feel strong and fast like you know...." I asked concerned. Well yeah, that's my only concern. Why am I angry I'm normal again?
"Nancy we talked about this, and yes it's the wolf bite that was making you feel all those powers of a wolf, now you are back to being my normal adorable Nancy" Roland whimpered as he pulls me for a tight hug as Betty giggles. Was that to make me happy? But I feel sad.
"Wait, does it mean you finally finish the portion your mother started? You find the cure of turning a werewolf back to human?" I giggled in excitement.
I know how much this meant to him.
"Yes, Nancy" he grins.
"I'm so happy for you Roland," I said hugging him.
"But how?"
"I'm sorry something happens that I still can't figure out while making the portion I needed pure blood. A pureblood is blood that of a god" he said.
"I mistakenly drop your cloth of bloodstain in it and I was amazed it worked" he added.
"Come on, a god?" I chuckle. "Just admit you are the most powerful wizard on earth right now, that blood thing is just a coincidence. I have to go find Baby and you two aren't coming with me" I said as I sat in my car and drove away.
Roland's words find a way back into my head even though I tried to ignore them. I started having blur visions of myself in a strange land, it felt as if there is something I need to remember but I'm forgetting it.
I brushed it off and continued driving.
It felt good to be back.
I stop the car immediately when I spotted a group of people bullying someone.
He had no shirts on and was in only a pair of trousers.
I stepped out of the car crossing the road almost immediately as a car almost knock me down, drawing the troop's attention.
"Is that how you greet your Luna?" I pout as the rest of them with him let out a gentle bow. He was far worse than I had imagined.
He was looking cold and terrible. He nods asking the rest of them to leave and take the poor guy on the floor with them.
"Oh no, he is not coming with you, listen, young man, you may leave now, the alpha king has spared your life and all your sins have been forgiven" I whisper to the man laying on the floor in cold blood, barely alive.
He nods and runs as fast as he could.
"We need to talk," I said facing Baby. He crosses the road and starts to walk into the woods.
"I said we need to talk," I said louder this time around standing in the middle of the road.
"Why did you come back here?" He pouts not looking at me, for some reason I knew he will turn to look at me and he did. A car was this close to hitting me before I knew it I was standing at the other side of the road in his arms.
"Are you crazy!" He yells.
"Do I have your attention now?" I asked with no expression on my face.
"You are insane, you know that?" He pouts as tears roll down my cheeks. Yes, I must be insane I cursed my fate. After everything life has taken from me I still can't have the man I love.
He grabs me firmly as we disappeared into the woods. I missed this the most. We stop when we reach his favorite place, the same place he took me, the next day after we had met.
There was total silence, it seems even if I ask him a hundred times he is still not going to tell me so how about I stop asking and act instead something he won't be able to resist.
I walk closer to him and pretend to stumble, like always he holds me in time and gently slights me back up. Now I was closer enough to feel his breath.
I lower my hands beneath him in between his legs.
"Stop Nancy" he whispers almost not convincing.
I hovered on him as I start kissing all over his neck down to his body. I trace my hands on his chest sending signals to his very core.
"Will you please hold me?" I asked seductively in a soft voice he couldn't resist.
"Nancy, could we not do this?" He let out a gentle murmur as if he had lost his willpower.
He wanted it as much as I did.
"Please" I whispers close to his ears as our lips met. He was still holding back, I gently bite his lips making him open them as I plow my tongue in his.
He let out a soft moan as I suck on his lower lips gently and at the same time with so much intensity.
I could feel his arms around me now he was going around.
He suddenly breaks from the kiss and stares at me with both hands on my shoulders and a reasonable amount of space between us.
What now? what is he thinking? Did I make a fool out of myself again? Geez, I hate not having control.
The thought of him rejecting me again made my heart shed and bubbles of sweat become to form on my forehead.
