chapter 47

__safia 
Everything stood still and silent as Sam, a member of the hunters, a top general, fell down by the blade of princess Safia, their future Luna.
Clank! Safia dropped her sword and rush towards Sam, while hunter continue towards them in hurried steps
*I'm so sorry general Sam, I was aiming for your hair I did not meant to hurt you like so, my apologies...*
*hurt me you said, girl you bearly scratch me..* Sam spoke as he held his bleeding cheek, arriving, hunter offered him a peace of cloth to which Sam took and start to wipe the blood on his face.
At this point the entire training grounds have surrounded them, forming I huge circle around them and watching the new wonder in the form of a delicate looking princess.
*are you alright safi? Hurt anywhere?* Hunter worriedly ask 
*I'm fine Hun, but I'm more worried about him.., I really didn't mean to..* safia explain
*I know, don't worry about it he'll be fine* hunter comforted her.
Done wiping the blood Sam spoke *princess Safia, our supposed future Luna....I offer my respect and deepest apologies* he bows
*thank you general Sam, please call me safia* rasing his head he finally smiles at the relieved princess. But soon notice how the crowd are trying to hold their laugh towards him. 
He glares *what's with you?*
Hunter took responsibility to reply *well, nothing much just that your once long and terrifying scar, is now an adorable star*
Hunters words broke the last string and the crowd burst into laughter.
Still confuse, Sam looked at his face through his shiny blade, and finally understood the funny situation.
    he's once long single scar now has a new friend, another scar just slightly smaller crossing over the old one, making a star shape on he's cheeks, he too couldn't help but smile a little.
Standing up he properly bowed to safia and hunter *I shall forever remember this day princess, not one of anger or revenge, but of respect towards you and admiration for your impeccable skills* offering another bow he walk away.The crowd disperse too.
Safia let out a deep breath and thanked *I'm glad he no longer wants to kill me, one less hunter to win over...*
*I can't belief he actually tried to kill you, I should've known better and stayed close, I'm glad you won him over safi, you're amazing*
Claire and her sisters ran towards safia and hugged her, they express
 *I thought you were done for and gone!*
 *I couldn't breath for awhile, imagine if Sam has hurt you, the future Luna...*
 *alpha would most probably kill everyone here except Cas and Malik*
 *enough of that, what matters is she's alive and well*
.....
     
Hunter eased knowing safia is safe with her new friends, so he went to help with war preparations too.
           
The day went by quick for safia, there was no lessons, no sneaking out, no orders from the king either, she feels a new sense of freedom like never before, but a part of her is missing making her unable to fully enjoy her new freedom, she miss her father.
Safia spent the entire day with her new friends, they tell her stories and legend of the werewolves while she shared her experience with them, they eat lots of tiny snacks safia has never seen before, so tiny the snacks are picked up with sharp small sticks (wooden toothpick) and they were delicious 
"Susan would love these" safia thought.
***
Inside hunters room safia gently comb her hair, she wore an oversized pink nightgown, and unlike the usual smile she had throughout the day, now alone she frowns and seems to be deep in thought, so deep she didn't notice when hunter came into the room carrying with him a tray of delicious food, he came next her then gently taps her, ending her deep worried thoughts.
He gently took the wooden comb and kept it aside, then lead her to the couch
* safi..how was your First day in the werewolf world?* He ask
*honestly, it's unlike anything I have ever been told or imagined, it's truly a pleasant surprise and further confirms my decision to stay, but...* She trailed off, unable to speak the hurtful words 
*it's okay safi, you can talk to me, speak your mind* hunter gently urges
*well, it's great but it's not home, I have lived as a princess my entire life, it's not the title or the life I missed, it's the people, it's my father...* 
*I understand, and I'm sure they missed you too, he miss you too...but to survive and get back safe and sound, you have to stay strong, and to stay strong, you have to eat*
He took a spoonful of the poredge to Safia's mouth, she accept and eat it, he kept feeding her as he talks
*look on the bright side, we've come so far from fighting over a lake and now, we even have nicknames for each other. Safi and Hun..the destined lovers or, the lovely lake owners*
*Yeah, we really did...but owners, I think you mean owner because obviously, I found the lake first*
*nah ah, I practically lived at that lake, so naturally I'm the rightful owner*
*says who? Oh let me guess, says you*
*of course not, gifted by nature*
*haha nature offered that lake to me, and I accepted*
*did not..*
*Did do..*
.......
__king Travis     
     
In the huge palace training grounds, blackmoon soldiers work tirelessly. Oh so the king thought, on closer inspection the soldiers are sweating buckets and panting their breaths out, they look physically and mentally tired, but the king is still going strong as he spare with general Anthony.
The sounds of metal against metal continue to ring out through the night untill suddenly, the king stopped, turning to the soldiers he spoke out loud
*that's enough for today soldiers, tomorrow by dawn we continue!* The soldiers saluted in unison and start preparing to leave.
As king Travis made his way outside the training grounds when suddenly, he overhead three soldiers talking as they pack their weapons.
* I still can't believe this, the princess actually ran away, to the werewolves*
*believe it my friend, she is head over hills in love with him*
*How can you say that! She's the princess, she has everything why would she go to them, love is just an excuse, she betrayed her kingdom*
*do you even hear yourself! So she's the princess, that doesn't mean she has no feelings, she only left because there is no other choice, we're the ones that let her down*
Unable to listen anymore king Travis cleared his throat, getting the soldiers attention. Seeing the king behind them they panicked
*y..your majesty w..we*
*Enough..just leave* king Travis spoke in a firm voice.
The three soldiers bowed and dash away, as he watch their retreating backs, king Travis thought out loud
*I can't even punish them, they speak the truth...but it wasn't love that made her leave, it's brainwashed and..my fault*
