The Duke and The Werewolf Princess novel Chapter 1

Third Person’s POV

“Madam, everything is ready. We will move as soon as we get your signal.” The voice spoke from the other end of the phone.

“Finally! Oh finally !! The time has come and my waiting is over. I will get what I have always wanted and no one can stop me this time. No one…..” The dark figure with a mask on her face spoke as she walked at a hurried pace and opened a door that creaked a little and created a very rustic sound.

“Wait for me; I will be there within an hour.” After that, she ended the call.

The woman got inside and looked around the room and her eyes stopped at a place where a portrait of a family stood on the desk. It looked very dirty as it was covered with dust. And beside it, there were newspaper cuttings with a picture of a girl whose face was beautifully carved. She was born Nobel and was the pride of her people. Next to her was the picture of a happy couple and they looked like they were deeply in love.

The woman caressed the picture lovingly and her eyes sparkled with deep emotions.

“Well looks like I will be able to make it finally.” After that, she turned around and walked outside the room. Her steps were very firm and elegant as she walked with confidence as if no one could stop her.

*************************

A lone figure looked down at the narrow valley and up towards the deep forest. She was panting heavily as if she had been running for a long time. She was exhausted and lost. She did not understand why she was running and from whom but she knew someone was following her and she had to escape or she will be caught.

She reached the entrance of the deep jungle and heaved a sigh of relief but footsteps were getting closer and closer and her whole body trembled she panicked and ran wildly inside the deep and dense forest. But she kept on running as her enemy was right behind her, she had to escape or she would be caught and killed.

Suddenly she heard the animals howling behind her, she was so terrified that she stumbled on the ground and hurt her hand in the process but she got up again and started running.

She was too scared to look back and ran for her life. Finally, after running for a long time she reached the river bank and ran towards it as she could see a boat was tied near the shore but it was anchored a little further away. She ran faster and got inside the water but when she looked at her face in the water, she was terrified and screamed her lungs out.

“No, no, no no……no………it’s not me, it’s not me. ” Marcela who was holding her face and touching it desperately woke up from her dream and ran towards her bathroom and looked at her face in the mirror after she saw her face, she heaved sighs of relief.

She touched her face with alarm as if she was scared that something had happened and after splashing a few handfuls of water on her face she was relaxed.

After that, she turned around and saw her brother standing at the door and looking at her with concern.

“Ela are you, all right? I heard your scream and came running.”

Marcela looked at her brother with confusion because as far as she could remember she had closed the door of her room, so how did he get inside?

“I am fine,” Marcela said. “But how did you enter my room, Emis?”
