As I sit in my office holding my head in my hands. I sat thinking about my betrayal of my beautiful fairy. I am the Lycan king Mihail Krissova. My mate, my queen, my love, caught me betraying her with a childhood friend. My friend just laughed. That day, I had banished her for being conniving. It was time for me to find my queen, Esaylla.

Flash back to that fateful night.

I was in my room with my childhood friend Sonya, she started to take my clothes off. I didn’t know what was happening because I was drugged. She managed to get on top of me. I was not in control; I was groggy. In the doorway of the room, I saw her piercing blue eyes and her cherry-red hair. She had tears running down her cheeks, and she was holding her stomach because of the betrayal pains. When I realized what had happened I pushed Sonya to the floor. Esaylla’s words hung in the air.

“Mihail, how dare you cheat?” Esaylla screamed.

I looked at her, “Baby, wait, I don’t want her.”

Looking at it, I began to regret what had happened with Sonya. The tear-stricken face of my wife hurt me. I wanted her to realize that I didn’t want Sonya. When had pushed Sonya off to chase after Esaylla. It was too late she had used her gifts to leave my realm. I went back to see Sonya’s eyes wide after I chased after my wife. She was shocked after the whole scheme she cooked up didn’t work. Her smugness of her

smile left.

Sonya said, “Mihail why do you want her? She is nothing. I am better than her.”

“I never loved you, I saw you as a sister.”

The look in Sonya’s eyes when I told her she was only like family shattered her. I was unhappy with her action trying to make me cheat. What I hadn’t realized is my Esaylla’s necklace. The one she wore when I met her on my 19th birthday. The one that would teleport her home like a snow globe effect if I hurt her.

Sonya got up from the floor. I had to figure out what happened to be so disoriented and unable to move at that moment. I had my wine tested by my men. I was standing above Sonya when I received the report and found out Sonya had drugged me. My biggest flaw was being too trusting of her.

“Sonya, why did you drug me to sleep with you?” I said.

“Because she was in my way for your love.”

“She is my mate,’ I stated.

“Why love her when I was there for you?”

“What’s going to happen now?” she said.

“The fact you destroyed my marriage...” I paused, ‘and laughed at my mate and I wasn’t aware of it. “

“What’s the punishment?” she stammered.

“I, Lycan King Mihail Kirsova, banish you, Sonya Ivanov, from the Moon Paw Pack,” I said.

End of flashback

It took many months to find my fairy. I was looking all over the realms for her. When she left, she put up a barrier so I would be able to find her.

“Fairy, I finally found you.”

“How are you, Mihail?”

“Meet your children, Ilina and Dion.”

I searched for my love and found her. She gave me a son and a daughter. I had to endure the pain of losing her and searching for her. I have her and my children forever.
