HEARTACHE

MONA

I kept avoiding Damon after what happened that night.

I am so ashamed to face him even though a part of me wanted to ask him if he came to my room that night.

What if I asked him only to find out I was the only one having those wet dreams, how embarrassing that will be.

He might think I have a thing for him which will only make him see me as one of those ladies out there desperate to be on his bed.

I would rather never talk about it with him.

The wedding was tomorrow and as such, we did some little rehearsals with the princess, giving her a tip of what her makeover would look like on her wedding day and fortunately for me, she loved it.

Miss Charlotte called to know how we have been doing so far with our work and if the princess is satisfied with the makeup shoot we have been doing for the past days.

I assured her the princess loved our work and there was nothing to worry about.

Among the guests who arrived at the castle was Mrs Roosevelt Kingston, my very first customer who is the reason am still employed at wonder woman.

"Wow Mona, you made it!

I am so very excited to see you.

You know what darling, I am so very proud of you and I'm sure the princess will love your work."

"I can't thank you enough Mrs Roosevelt for giving me an opportunity to be here. Thank you so much I'm so grateful" .We hugged and kissed in greetings.

"It's nothing Mona. You are a talent and so you deserve it."

I was about leaving for my room when a stunning looking lady walked past me.

The vibes she gave says she's the bossy kind of lady but very classy and beautiful.

"Wow! Will you look at that? Said a very surprised Sarah who hung on to me.

"I never imagined some humans can be this beautiful, even the men are looking so hot. From the cook to the guards. My God!"

Ever since I came here, everything was kind of strange to me.

The other night I thought I saw a very big black dog outside my window, its eyes was sparkly green and it shines in the night.

Never in my life have I seen a dog with such colour of eyes.

The strangest part of it all is the fact that there is no dog in the castle.

I wondered where it came from. Maybe it lost its way.

"This lady is a looker". Sarah said still admiring her.

The lady and the princess embraced each other excitedly. They must be very good friends considering how happy they are to see each other.

It's nice to see you Fiona."

"Nice to see you too Xena. I am so happy for you.

I heard His Majesty came to the castle."

"Yes he came, you don't know how happy I am to see you Fiona."

XENA

Xena felt uncomfortable because she knew what this meant.

As far as she knew, Damon would never marry Fiona specially now that he's finally found his mate.

She also knows Fiona will be very furious to know she won't be a queen anymore.

But what she was really afraid of is what Alpha Ferdinand might do if he finds out the King has found his mate.

Everyone knows how ambitious and cunning he was.

This could put her brother's mate in danger.

"It's best I talk to Damon about this". She said to herself.

Damon was in his study on the phone with Patrick when Xena walked in.

"I need to talk to you brother."

Damon ushered her in as he dismissed his phone call with Patrick.

"Have you decided on what to do about Fiona now that you've found your mate?"

Damon kept silent for a moment in thoughts, then he finally heaved a long sigh.

"Nobody is to know I've found my mate, and everyone who already knows must be strictly warned to keep shut."

"That's exactly what I was thinking.

But we have to be wary of Alpha Ferdinand for he might find out sooner or later."

Damon was already having the thoughts of breaking off his engagement with Fiona since he found his mate.

He's just patiently waiting for the best opportunity to do so.

"By the way I think your mate might have known you are already engaged and that might make it harder for you to pursue her."

Xena said smiling at confused looking Damon.

MONA

Mona thought about what happened earlier. Why does she feel like this girl named Fiona emitted bad vibes, specially when she asked about the King, who was she?, could she be one of his women because she doesn't look like family?

"Hey Mona, guess what I heard today?"

"Not again".Mona rolled her eyes. Sarah never gets tired of gossip.

"What did you find out this time?"

"You won't believe it, that fine-looking lady I told you was a model, guess what?, she's really a model a famous one at that, though have never seen her before. Now wait for the biggest news.

I also heard her name is Fiona and she's engaged to the King to be married soon."

"What!"

Mona's scream, got Sarah startled for a moment.

Okay Sarah, I am feeling very sleepy now, you should go to bed early too, you know we have a long day tomorrow."

Mona, was furious at this news. "So he's engaged to be married, but he dared to flirt with me? The nerve!"

Mona tossed on the bed furious at herself as to why she couldn't stop thinking about this Alpha or was it Damon of a King. Why would she care about who he's engaged or married to? Hecan marry and flirt with as many women as he wants that's not her problem.

She thought about Jack. This was no good prank, something must be wrong with Jack. This was getting to long.

She decided to call him again maybe she could reach him this time. Suddenly, he picked up, thank goodness he finally answered.

"Hello Love, what happened to your phone, I have been calling you and left you tons of messages, but still no reply from you."

"You are not talking to your love or whosoever you think you are talking to, you better not disturb my fiancé's phone next time bitch!."

Mona was mortified at this statement. She quickly looked at the number, wondering if she had dialed a wrong number, but it was Jack's so who could be talking to her?

She called back again thinking it was a mistake.

"Hello Jack, is that you?"

"Oh so you are Mona, the woman who's trying to break off my relationship, the nerve you got to call him. Don't ever call him again, he's mine do you hear that you fucking bitch?!"

The phone fell off Mona's hand, tears dropped from her eyes, she felt like she has been stabbed straight in the heart.
