Chapter 7 Cynthia's resolve

ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV I took another bite on this rotten apples when she opens the door and had that courage in her beautiful eyes. I smirk when she said her words. "Who? Those thugs?" I said. She nodded and suddenly grab my hand. "You're a werewolf right? You have a super strength and you can kick their butts in a single snap. Can you do that please?" she said. "Hell no!" I shout on her. She pouted. "You already help them and me, will you do it again? I just only wanted to help the villagers here. Aunt Miranda said that those guys are collecting taxes doubled that the kingdom's laws in this matter. I just want to...please? Ulysses, you won't be in pain if you help person's in need right?" she said. "Silly witch, will you stop using that—that puppy face just to use for your benefits? I am not your slave nor your friend." I said to her. She smiled. "Exactly! You are my HUSBAND! Then you can me right? Let's just beat those bastards and threw them on the cold river. It's perfect because its winter. They will surely be shaking like crazy after the cold water embraces them or kills them." "Stop!" I said and grab her cheeks to make her shut her mouth. She look at my eyes without any fear. "What are you doing to big sister?!" the little girl said. That lady also speak. "Please, let go of my queen's face. You don't want to make her face ugly right? She is your mate, you shouldn't hurt her, that will make her ugly." she said. "Huh? I still didn't take her as my mate. She's weak and she is using me for her wishes." I said and let go of her cheeks. She sits down the floor while her lips is like a duck's mouth. I sigh, what a piece of trouble. 'How can I be soften with this damn witch? She can't even protect herself! Don't tell me I'll drag her around during my battles? Great, just great!' "Tomorrow, let's do that tomorrow. Let us have a good night sleep okay? What a pain in the neck." "Yehey! Thank you, Ulysses." she said. She is smiling like a kid again. She is nothing but a trouble! "But! You will be paying these, you hear me?" She suddenly cover her body using her hand. I flick her in her forehead. She touches that part. "Ouch, what was that for?" she ask. "You need that, silly witch. What kind of thought you even had? My goodness." I said and leave them. I decided to use the talisman that the elders gave to me. We will be staying here tonight and this will be helpful in protecting us overnight. GABRIELLE HUMPHRIES POV I threw the vases in my room and look at my servant. She steps back in fear. "They can't find her? Huh. That woman, she is such a pain in my throat! Make sure to tell the guards to find her! I will make her pay for what she did to me!" "Y-yes, royal princess." she said and leave the room. I shouted once again when the door opens. It was my mother. She approaches me. "What is wrong with your face?! You looks so messy Gabrielle!" she said. She takes off my face all the strands of her in my cheeks. "Mother! Did you see that, huh? George has been worried and I can see how affected she is after that damn werewolf took away that bitch! I can't believe he is being like this because of her!" "Calm down, Gabrielle. Don't be affected because of a small thing. Look at yourself you are in a mess. You shouldn't stressed yourself and it will only make you ugly! Oh my goodness, your cheeks. Your eye bags and your hair are like a nest of birds!" "How can I not be like this?! She already make a chaos in my banquet and now she is taking George's attention because of running away with that evil beast! Argh! I hate her! I hate her!" "Sunshine, bring all the beauty products here and tell the other servants to prepare a bath for the crown princess. She needs to fix herself. Move." "Understood, royal highness." she said and leave my room. I sat down on the couch and look away, irritated because of that damn woman's mess. "Look, Gabrielle. You shouldn't send another guards to fund that silly woman. Let her go with that beasts. In no such time she'll die because werewolf alpha's prefer strong mates. And her? She is just a crybaby and a silly woman, one day from this onward, they will kill her or worst eat her. Wouldn't that be good? She is no longer a threat in your way to be the crown princess and to George's heart." mother said. She comb my hair, I smiled after I realize that mom's words makes sense. I look up and see her smile. "Just wait and see, you will soon heard a news about Cynthia's death. That will be your cue to be close to George. Act like your helping him moving on and then you can take that chance to have him." "You are right mother, thank you for giving me that advice. I am too irritated and mad that I didn't even realize those possibilities. I hope she will die as soon. She is no longer needed in this kingdom. That unwanted princess should die and be eaten by the evil beasts like her mother." I said. "So don't get mad anymore." she said and I nodded. CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV We already pack their important things and we went off to those thugs place. Wow! They 're living in this beautiful manor out of the money that they took from the poor people. They made me mad, I knew my eyes turn into pink and a tornado suddenly took the roof of the houses in this place. Those men suddenly comes out of the buildings and saw how the roofs stays on the sky swirling around the tornado. He whistled. "You don't need my held then. You can stop the tornado and make those roofs fell in their faces. Then let's start our journey on those mountain trails." "What did you say?" I ask and look at him. The tornado stops after the color of my eyes went to normal. I look on them again and the barriers I made protect them from the falling debris. "And here we go—again! You and your soft heart will surely bring chaos and death on you! Damn. Let me just finish the job and the four of you? Stay!" he shouted and leave us here. "Are you okay, my queen?" aunt Miranda. "Yes aunt Miranda. I'm sorry, I just feel weak and nauseous. I am still trying to cope up with this power and its making me weak and feel bad because I can't control it. Let me close my eyes, I feel dizzy." I said. I close my eyes and calmed myself. When I open my eyes, I saw him throwing them from there and here. They can't even get second punches every time he catches their fist, he lifted them and threw them away like a small stone. I went inside and leave those three. "I'm going to kill you beast!" he said. He must be the leader. I went in front of him and look at this man, he can't thrust his silver knife in him because I am using the simplest barrier that I learn from mother's protection grimoire. He is trying to stab us again but my barrier is cracking. 'Oh gosh! It's still weak because this the seventh time that I perform this simple barrier spell!' That man smirk. I let her crack the barrier and then I held his knife. My blood started to drip on the knife. I kick his crotch on the greatest strength I have. He shouted. "Aghhh! You devil woman!" he said. "Don't curse my woman." he said and twist his neck. He died. I look at him as I turn around. He suddenly held my hand and lick my wound. I blush and my heart beats so fast again. I am trying to take back my hand but he is so busy licking all the blood in my palm. I suddenly remember his kisses and caresses last night. Then my wound suddenly closes. "Don't hurt yourself like that again, silly witch." ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV "I just wanted to protect you like what you did to us, to me." she said. I flick her forehead again and she give me that glare. I chuckled. "You can laugh?" she said. I cough to clear my throat. She smiled and look at me. "Thank you. Let's go now." she said and interlock our fingers. We went to her three allies. She said that she wants them to come along with us. "Big sister, you're the best! Even you big brother!" "Daisy, call them royal highness and royal majesty." "It's okay aunt Miranda. Just call be big sis and him as big brother." she said. "Call me master—agh." She smash me in my shoulder. "I told you to be kind with kids." she said. I give her a cold face and answer her. "I did. Didn't I agree punishing them and taking them with us? Isn't that kind of kindness?" I ask. "Really? Don't mind him. Let's go, we have 5 mountains to pass before we can reach his kingdom." she said. She drags me with her as she starts walking towards the direction of the forest. "You are a witch right? You can do magic isn't it? Why don't you bring us in his kingdom in just a snap. Use your power."-Dallas. "For the first time, I will agree to the kid."-I said. I wanted to use that chance to tease her. She gives me a death glare then smile when she look at Dallas. What a strange witch. She speaks to him softly. "Well, this witch here can't control her powers and I just awaken my magic last night. I can't even do a simple spell so...we might end up in the middle of the ocean or fall in a volcano with lots of lava. Do you want to be eaten by the sharks or turn into an ash in just split of seconds?"-she said. The kid suddenly shut his mouth and pointed the forest. "I am good in walking. I have two legs and I can take even a year of walking just to pass the forest. I'm good. I'm good. You can walk also even it takes a year right, Daisy?"-he ask his sister. "Uhm. I agree. I don't like sharks, I don't want lava also. Daisy is good in walking too."-she agreed. She laugh because the kids got scared with her threats. "Okay then! Everyone agrees!"-she said. "I'm sorry if the kids are quiet handful."-Miranda. "I don't mind, they'll bring happiness in this long journey."-she said. I felt that presence. I grab the two kids and give them to their mother. "What is it, Ulysses?"-she ask. "Use a barrier spell. Make sure it won't break easily!" Then two big tigers comes out and attacks us. Damn it!
