I wasted my time worrying about our sharing of a room when it turned out, my new husband had
another n in mind. In the middle of the celebration, I saw him leave in a hurry and this was after he
called a blue-haired man, his second-inmand maybe, and conversed through whispers.
I cared less what they were talking about. Anyway, I couldn’t hear a word they said because of the
noise inside the throne room. A littleter after he vanished, men invish suits—the royal council—as
far as I know, stood up and left the party.
I recognized them in a gathering I attended a day earlier with Elijah. That gathering was weird in a way.
It was held in the highest mountain in the kingdom, over a stretch of grassy clearing a kilometre away
from the castle. There were a lot of attendees. I say tens of thousands probably. The same as at the
wedding.
I reckoned it was the poption of this realm. Their appearance looked human, but I knew beneath
their normal-looking eyes, a wolf was hiding. Throughout the gathering, I kept myposure intact and
diverted my attention to my acting skills. Somehow, my Mass Communication course helped me
converse with the council in a natural way. I was d enough Elijah chose to educate me on their
history and culture. I was able to at least ride on with the conversation because of it.
Elijah was truthful enough to tell me about the purpose of the mountain gathering. It was called
Ma’tisste. He said it was their annual celebration to wee the new moon of the year and the
highlight activity was what he called ‘the howling’.
It was obvious enough what he was trying to tell me.
“Do you want to see?” he said nonchntly.
Are you kidding me?! My mind stressed.
I looked at him and quickly shook my head. “No, thanks. Seeing people get naked and turn into a wolf
is not my thing.”
He just grinned at me and then led the way to the coach.
When we were a few miles away from the mountain field, I heard the howls of the many wolves through
my window. It both frightened and amazed me.
“Don’t worry,” Elijah caught my attention, “you’ll get used to it.”
“I won’t,” I replied, looking at him with grave eyes, “I’ll be out of this realm before you know it.”
He threw me a silent smile in response.
When I decided to leave the throne room thirty minutes after my husband left, six servants followed me.
They were all women, thank God. Elijah wanted me to have them despite his brother’s aversion to our
gender.
But I was an independent woman, so by the time we reached the so-called King’s chamber, I dismissed
all of them. They didn’t seem to mind leaving me in a hurry. I guess there still was fear engraved in their
hearts towards the King despite my marriage to him. Poor them.
Opening the double doors of the King’s chamber was easy. Walking inside the receiving room was the
same. For a moment, I gaped at the details of the whole room. I had been in his sleeping chamber
already, no thanks to the unknown force that brought me here so I knew the interior design of the ce.
His receiving room however was another story. It was stunning. It had a collection of odd objects that
were foreign to me. They were ced in ss shelves situated against the wall and werebeled with
names I was clueless of except for one: Earth.
The object was a movie ticket dated, September 24, 1999, under the title, “The Matrix.” It was encased
in a ss box and lined with a blue velvet cloth.
King Aero had already told me he had been in the human realm before. I never thought he’d actually
enjoy its entertainment when he expressed so much hate with my kind.
I was born in the year 1993. Doing the math, I realized I was six back then when the movie came out. I
also remembered liking the movie and had been eager to watch it because I had a huge juvenile crush
on Keanu Reeves. In the end, I wasn’t able to watch it obviously because kids my age weren’t allowed.
Aside from the movie ticket on the ss shelf, another object caught my eye. It looked like a rock with
crystals encrusting it. Thebel stated, ‘Ehnrelil.’ Probably a name or a ce or a precious element in
their realm.
What attracted me to it was how it glowed a soft green in the center. It looked like it was alive and as
weird as it sounds, I actually wanted to touch it.
In the end, I held myself and went on to the room next door.
I knew I didn’t need to actually lie on the King’s bed. There were no eyes on me in this room so I
decided to choose the farthest couch there was to be my sleeping area. It was located near the
balcony door. It wasfy and clean just the way
I like it.
No words could express how relieved I was that the King was preupied with something else. I didn’t
want him to see me undress from my wedding gown and I was sure he was the same. Truth be told I
didn’t even want to share a room with him, but we had no choice. We had to keep up appearances.
Slowly, I slipped out of my gown. I adored it the moment Elijah’s mistress who was a seamstress
showed it to me. I even considered taking the gown to Earth once I leave this realm. Surely, the King
wouldn’t mind. I’d dly keep it as a remembrance
I was left on my chemise again since I didn’t wear what Elijah had bought for me.
I sat on the couch thinking of the events of the day, but I guess I was too tired to continue. After a few
seconds, I was in deep slumber.
However, my sleeping was interrupted when my ears picked up a growling sound. I quickly sat down,
sensibly covered my chest area with the sheet I pulled from the bed and watched in horror as the
biggest head of a metallic ck wolf greeted me.
It had its mouth opened, shing its sharp enamels at me. It had mesmerizing golden eyes, and it had
the shiniest fur I had seen in an animal. Its size wasrger than the couch I was in. I ultimately felt like
a dwarf under it.
This was my first time seeing a wolf in this realm. It would have been only natural to scream on top of
my lungs in fear, but I didn’t. Instead, I straightened my spine and stared at the wolf without blinking.
“King Aero?” I called out, hoping it was him.
I expected it to growl some more and maybe even bit my head off, but to my surprise, it licked me.
Yep.
From my chest up to the side of my face.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
My mouth dropped, feeling surprised. I didn’t see thating at all.
