Chapter 2 reborn, return, rediscover
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
I runaway. Who is that person? I don't feel any danger from him. Since I was a kid, when I'm in danger I can sense that, from wild animals or even to bad people who wanted to hurt me. That's very unusual to me, yes. My mother is a witch but they said that my blood as human is much stronger. I accidentally saw that Gabrielle put something on the wine that she offers to me. I am hiding away from that man. I ran upstairs.
I stayed in this room when the door opens. It was my sister. I thought she is busy flirting with the knight commander. My sister who supposed to be the closest woman in my heart is someone that I should be wary off. It's been 10 years since the first time that I sense danger when she is around.
"You are trying to seduce men are you? I saw that one of the guest lick your finger. Then you are also trying to seduce my knight. You are indeed like your mother! Seducer and evil."-she said.
"I don't have to explain myself to you. I haven't done anything that you have said. My mother is not a seducer, stop dragging her name. My mother is already dead. You and your mother is just envious because even years had passed, the Dawn citizens never forgets how kind my mother is."
"Shut up!"-she said. She suddenly hold my neck and push me until we reach the balcony. Her eyes are furious and the danger of this situation is high.
"Let me go, Gabrielle!"-I shouted. She pinned me to the porch that I can't resist her strength. 'Is she planning to kill me?! No! I don't want to die!'
"JUST DIE."-she said. The coldness of her words brings a chilling sensation in my bones. She pushes me and watch me as I fall down from the left tower of the palace. I watch her expression as I fall down. No regrets and full of hatred. 'How can my own family forsaken me…?' The garden of white roses catches my body as my own blood turn them in bright red, I stare on the full moon. 'Mother… am I going to see you? Will death is the best escape plan for this sufferings that I have now? I wanted to…live.'
….
I open my eyes. I am holding a tray with empty wine glasses. I look on my clothes. 'What is going on here? This is the banquet hall! I fell down the tower and I remember that my blood turns the roses into blood color.' I feel like something is burning on my upper left chest. My birthmark is like burning and it also glowing! I look around, Gabrielle is walking towards me. Holding the same glass of wine…
"Cynthia, I knew your tired. Drink this."
"NO. I have to go. I need to serve some wine in that table. I'm sorry, Gabrielle."-I said. I am about to leave when she steps my clothes. I look back.
"Drink this or else…"-she said and look on our father's direction. I knew that when father learns this, he will punish me again. Just like how he always do since I was a kid. But suddenly, George came so she steps back. He look on us.
"Cynthia…? Why are you serving wines? You should've be wearing a dress and join the banquet."
'This scene! It's the same as before. What is happening here? I feel like I'm in a dejavu.' I look on the moon from the balcony. Shade of…pink?
"Uhm…yes. I'm suppose to but the queen and my sister told me to be a server instead. I also wanted to be a part of this banquet."-I said. Gabrielle is surprised because I didn't even deny or give the real reason why I am serving wines in her birthday banquet. I can see how furious she is.
'Damn you, Cynthia! I have to make you drink this wine so I can take a revenge on her! I hate you! I hate you! I wish you'll just die!'
My neck stiffens. What was that? I am just staring on my sister's eyes and I suddenly heard those words as if I can read her…mind? 'What is happening here? I can here hear thoughts, and this is like a dejavu. My birthmark glows and burning off my skin. Am I? Did my blood as a witch awakens?!' I look away and tried to look around. I saw that vase on the balcony. I stare on it and wishes it to fall down. It suddenly moves and the vase fall down from the balcony. George is snapping his finger in front of me. I look at him.
"Are you okay, Cynthia?"-he ask. I cleared my throat. I took the wine that Gabrielle is giving off to me.
"Yes. Thank you, baby sister. Happy birthday. This is for you. Cheers?"-I said and raise the glass. I drink it in just one shot without any hesitations. I put down the glass and tray on the table.
"Cynthia, you haven't—"
"George, let's go. Let's dance."-Gabrielle. She is trying to catch George attention. 'I can't let him touch her. That wine. It has an aphrodisiac, once it strikes her body, she will be longing sex.' I gulp after I read her thoughts. I smirk, so this is not poisoned. I feel down the tower…someone killed me on purpose. 'Who is that person? I can't remember the face of that…' I feel dizzy and hot. This must be the start of the effect of the aphrodisiac.
"Caught you, my mate."-a subtle voice lingers in my ears. I look on him. The one who licks my finger.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I saw her falling from above as the white roses turns in red because of her blood. I ran out of the room. She feel down from above of this room. I have to know who killed my mate! I need to know if that woman is still alive. I am running on the stairs when my mark gives of a burning feelings.
"Agh."-I mumbled. I look inside my sleeve, it is glowing as if its being burned inside my flesh.
"What is happening here? This only means that a witch is using their power. I should go back in the banquet hall."-I said and turn around. I look around and started to be vigilant on the guests. I walk around until I saw a familiar face.
"What the hell."-I mumbled. The princess, a man and—Cynthia? Did I just mistaken the woman who died is her? How come that she is there? I saw when she look at the balcony. 'The moon is in shade of pink?' I suddenly remember what the elders said.
"When the moons lights in pink, the witch who have the blood that taste as sweet as lotus, as scented when it blooms, may she awake from her slumber and shows her true power…"
You got to be kidding me. The vase on that balcony, it suddenly moves and fell down while she's staring on it. She took the glass of wine and drink it. The princess suddenly drags that man away from her. I took the chance to go to her.
"Caught you, my mate."-I said. When I grab her elbow and she look at me. Her eyes glimpse and turn to pink. But when she blinks, it returns to green again. I can smell something from her.
"Cynthia? What did that drink has more than that red wine?"-I ask. She smiled and drag me away from the banquet hall. We are standing on the hallway. She look on the left and right. The next thing I saw is we are in a room. It has the same scent as hers and I can tell that this room is belongs to her.
"Who really are you?"-I ask. She looks at me differently. She push me in the wall and suddenly licks my neck. I gulp and confirmed my intuition.
'The wine that she drinks. It has an aphrodisiac on it. Damn! I think that she started affecting her sexual desires.' She suddenly tiptoed and lick my earlobe.
"Stop, answer me. Who are you, in this castle?"
"I'm the first princess of dawn kingdom, but I'm not a Humphries. My surname is MAXIMILLIAN."-she said. 'First princess? Maximillian? Is she the daughter of that powerful witch? Cendrea Maximillian?!'
"Your not an ordinary person. You're a werewolf."
"I am."-I said. My eyes turns yellow and her eyes turns pink. She smirks. She's different for a reason.
"If you wanted to leave this room alive, let's have sex. You are here finding a mate isn't it?"-she said. Something is wrong with her. She is being blinded by her power. She can't control her own strength. She started to undress herself, her maid dress fell down the floor. She grabs my hand and suddenly threw me in her bed. Her awaken power makes her lose her consciousness even more.
"Stop. Brace yourself, Cynthia!"-I said and roll her over. I tried to pin her down and stop her from struggling. She kicks me up and I was thrown in the ceiling. But her power makes me float in the air. She licks my neck and give me a bite. She snaps her finger and my suit torn to pieces.
"Damn. What kind of power unleashes inside you?"-I grab her face and kiss her. She kiss me back, my purpose is to make her close her eyes and that way I can move my body again. She did and because of that, I landed in top of her.
"Did you know what is happening to you?"-I ask. She is trying to release her wrist from my grip. My free hand covers her eyes to stop her from using magic. 'Damn, how can my body traitors me either! It must be because I haven't sex to a woman from 7 months! Damn that training! But I have to make sure that this woman is the mate that they want me to find. If those elders don't control me, I will never deal this damn!' Her breathing is unstable. The aphrodisiac that they have put in that wine. It was too strong. She'll break anytime soon!
"I…it feels to hot. I knew…knew that my o-own sister wants me to b-be rape by some r-random man. S-she wants me to be t-throne in the palace b-basement to m-make…hahh! Hahh…"-she even hardly control her breathing. Her breast are aroused and her nipples are like cherries in an expensive ice cream. But what did she say? Sister?
"Who's sister are you referring too? Tell me your whole name."-I ask. She gulp.
"I…I'm the hidden and unwanted princess. I'm… Cynthia Maximillian. It's so hot, please…help me."
"The hidden princess?"
"Mister…help me. I want to leave this place."
Tears suddenly fall to her eyes. Her voice is begging and pain is there also. What kind of sufferings did she have experienced? 'How come that your daughter suffers this much?'
"Take a deep breath. Control your power. Just think as a human girl. I'll release your hand now."-I mumbled in her ears. She nodded, I released her.
"First, we have solve your problem. You'll break if we won't DO IT. Get ready, I won't be gentle."-I said.
