*Two days ago*
This is the longest i had stayed together with him. In the same room.
Gazing at the ocean blue eyes, just like mine. The man, he was my blood, my clan, my torture. The fact that I have the same ocean blue eyes as his, was another torment for me. I only posses my mother's long ebony hair. And fair skin like that of my sister.
And all of this is a night mare because he is my father. I regret being a true-blood. He had used that against my mother's sanity. He wanted her gone. They both hated each other's guts. My father's greed had caused my sister Sawyer sold to the most fobidden clan.The Mickelsons.!
They had murdered her. And I am yet to find out why they had to murder her. Because I was young when it happened.
'The clan that held your fate. And do not forget the prophecy' Just has my mother had said on her dying bed. All because of a certain curse, my clan are tasked to safe the life the prince. Being that he was born half Lycan_half wizard.
My mother was a very great sorcerer.So she was the one who performed the sorcery.
I have been carrying this hatred for the Mickelsons.
Especially the crown prince, Rumor has it that he is a very cruel Lycan prince without a mate. There is no doubt that the moon goddess had decided to purnish him without a mate. And I thank the moon goddess for this.
Except that my father dropped this bombshell.
"If you keep being this way then I would be forced to consent to the terms of our coven."
"And what are their terms"? I asked less interested.
"That you serve as the right one to be chosen as bride slave for the crown prince before he ascends the throne. You are not unaware of his lack of mate are you?"
That was it! My father, despite been aware about the curse the Mickelsons had befallen our despite been aware that my mother lost her life to this.
Despite been aware of the hatred I bore for the Mickelsons. He even sold my sister all for wealth that resulted to her death. And here he is, shamelessly threatening me to consent to the witches terms. In order to gain more wealth.
All because the witches of the eastern covens had decided to shun my family from utilizing our powers. Because of the prophecy foretold since I was birthed:"if she ever utilizes her powers, you would all fall. One by friend, one by foe and one by family." And since then I have never tested my powers.
"No father! I would never be a bride slave for that cursed crown prince."I responded with haughty eyes.
Our kingdom has been under their reign for about four centuries now. The former King was also a Lycan. Despite the fact that their are other powerful beings in our kingdom too.
The Lycans are the most powerful, the most civilised and fit to rule. Right from the dawn of this kingdom. They were the royals. And the people are content for they have helped conquer in most wars, in order to protect our kingdom.
"You have no choice in this matter Avalon. Whatever I say is what will happen. Besides you know it's because of your mother's deeds we are shuned permanently."
My father said, followed by profanity.
"No father! You do not have a right to blame her for this!. It was not her fault, she never knew the curse would reverse." I defended her. And the truth was glaring. Everybody knew this, but they would not accept it. They dared not. They dare not talk ill of the royal prince.
"And she left us to deal with it!. I am not going to sit by and live my life under the this curse without gaining anything. So you better go pack your things and head out to the palace. And be grateful that witches had chosen you has part of the women for the crown prince slave."
They had chosen me?. And that I should be grateful?. Do not make me laugh. It is like purposely walking into the lion's den despite knowing what the outcome is.
I hate the horrendous fact that the witches had chosen me has part of the crown prince concubine. It was no surprise that if the witches who resented my existence would choose a woman to serve as a bride slave to the cruel crown prince. Then it would be me.
No doubt that I can't be able to go against the witches command.
I am to save our covens from been invaded. Because every village with supernatural powers must drop the name of a virgin woman,as a bride slave to the crown prince. And our coven is not exempted.
And I am the chosen one. And because I have no say in this, I am to accept the witches decree to serve as slave to the crown prince.
What was the use of existing?. I don't find it. I am to be glad that witches has decided to help my family. My sister had died in the hands of the Mickelson. Those enigmatic green eyes! I would never forget them.
I lost my mother in the same hands.
And I am about to fall in their hands.
No way I am going to accept this. I better run away before the bride choosing day.
And that is what I would do. Tonight would be the perfect night. I am going for hunting tonight, but as a disguise for my escape.
"Alright father, whatever you say. As long as we are not shuned anymore"
"Yes! That is what you are ought to have said. Now would you go pack your things and head to the palace. Make sure to dress to please and entice him. You don't know who the crown prince would take a liking on."
There was no way in hell I am going to dress to please that man. He is the devil's reincarnation.
Cruelty, doom, evil...they were all his attributes.
I was young, those green eyes was all I had managed to see when he brutally mudered Sawyer my sister on the day our village was invaded.
All for his safety,the prophecy has it that I can't utilize my powers. So my sister has to die.
And that has rendered me to live in a tumultuous state since childhood.
I doubt that he is aware of this. Because wherever I find the owner of those green green eyes, I am ready to utilize my powers. Not caring of the consequences whatsoever.
But my father does not have to know about it.
"Yes father I would do my best to. I would arrive in the palace tomorrow morning. I am going for hunting tonight" I announced.
"Huumn"
A satisfactory smirk laced on his face. He thought his wealth would soon increase.
I was not interested in his wealth whatsoever, afterall the wealth is from the bad deeds of his.
And he was trying to plant them on my mother. Because she was the witch who performed the sorcery.
He went back to his room. And I pretend to be ready for hunting tonight.
"Goodbye father" I bid him. This would be our last night together. The goodbye was the right word. He hadn't even noticed that my bag was filled with little necessites I would be needing on my journey. Rather than the bow and arrow for tonight hunt.
"Huumn. You watch out for terror that walks at night."
He was only caring for my safety because my safety would yield wealth for him.
"Yes. Have you forgotten this is not my first time hunting at night?"
"You better just ensure your safety. I need to gather my wealth. And to be called the king's in-law too. You know?"
He didn't even bother to hide his intentions again.
This journey out of the kingdom. I do not know what the night holds. I am in no way safe. Because I don't know exactly where I am heading to.
I just want to leave this forsake kingdom. I just want to runaway because I don't want to be his bride.
And do I throw my vengeful heart towards him because I have to run away from him?.
Or do I just accept my fate become one of his concubines?.
