Arks POV
I need my queen by my side, this is the only way l can rule with a clear mind and heart. This power can't be contained anymore. Everyone fears me but l don't blame them. This emptiness can only be filled after l fulfill nura and reconcile with my soul mate. I stripped myself naked, the maids had already prepared my bath. After l was done, l wore my robe and layed on my bed.
I can't sleep naturally unless l use magic but tonight l want to lay awake and imagine life with my queen.

Shoot!, l glanced at the clock on the wall which read 8:30am. I spranged up from my messy bed and rushed to the bathroom barefooted. I stared at the mirror, my afro hair pointing in different directions. I looked like a mess and l knew if l continued standing there, l will be late for class.

I had an early shift yesterday, one of our coworkers has given birth so l will be taking over. I had to rush to McDonald's to start my shift. Sorry, my battery died and l couldn't reach out to you. I am sorry that l made you worried.

She is a beautiful blonde fairy, her style is effortlessly chic. She wore a fitted jeans and graphic tee showcasing her love for fashion. Her blonde hair is always styled in a trendy way and her smile could light up a room.
Amy and l made our way to the school cafeteria. I bumped into someone, as l fell a scorching hot coffee splashed onto my shirt. I let a pained yelp
