A misunderstanding

A misunderstanding
Saya was sleeping peacefully since last night so Yifang asked Mary to inform him as Saya wakes up and went to meet his mother.
But when he reached there a maid was coming out of the chamber as she held a tray that was covered by a piece of cloth.

"Come Yifang, I knew you will be coming."
The queen smiled softly while Yifang felt something strange in the air. But he shook the feeling and sat in front of his mother who smiled mysteriously.

"The prince will be leaving soon and so does Ursala."

"Hm."

"Are you not worried?"

"Why would I be?"

"Yifang, you need to make a decision. But do not worry, I will help you in making that decision.
You saw that maid, right. She is going to deliver that snack to her and you know what... it's poisonous. You can only keep one. So, hurry up and..."

She could not complete her sentence as Yifang was fast to get up and nearly ran out of the room.

Niomi smiled remembering what happened earlier.

She made this plan with Ursala and right now Ursala was waiting for Yifang in her room. The snack was not poisonous to humans so even if she ate, it won't have any effect on her but what happen next will only depend on her acting skills.

Yifang opened the door of the room and found the person on the bed picking the almond and was about to eat it but he grabbed her hand and threw the almond away. He dusted her fingers and looked at her.

"Did you eat it? Did you?"

"No.... I...."

"Thank goodness." Yifang pulled Saya against his chest and was relieved.
"Do not eat anything that my mother sends."
He ordered her who was confused.

"But your mother never sends me anything." Saya reminded him and Yifang paused. Suddenly he realized something. Her mother never said she send that snack to Saya but in that situation he only was worried for Saya and did not even think about Ursala at all.

"Yifang, when did we came back last night? I don't remember much and what about this bracelet."

Yifang broke the hug and cupped her face.

"I bought it for you. Isn't it pretty?"

"It is, indeed." Saya smiled softly.
"But why I don't remember anything."

"You passed out but do not worry you are alright. Don't put pressure on your mind and try to rest."

He told her who nodded and did not think much of the situation. She leaned towards him to leave a peck but Yifang moved back. He coughed.

"I had some work to do. I will see you later. Take care of yourself."

He patted her cheek and got up while Saya who was gloomy over the rejection, did not think much as his behavior was still the same and caring towards her.

.......

Ursala pushed the tray angrily from the table and got up. She was waiting for Yifang but he never came to meet her.

She went of the room to meet the queen and enter the chamber angrily.

"Where is he? You said he will be with me but he never came."

Niomi looked up and frowned over Ursala's tone.

"Are you playing with me? I should have done it on my own instead of asking help from you."

"How are you talking with me like this?"

Niomi glared at her who scoffed and left the room and at the same time Yifang entered.

Niomi looked stunned as she felt the dark aura around her son.

"Yifang."

"I heard everything so don't try to make an excuse. Let me just live my life and stop interfering in it.
I know what I want."

"You don't know what you want. She is your mate and..."

"Just let me have Saya. I don't want may other woman. You want me to get rid of the curse, I will do it but not with Ursala. And what guarantee is there that after mating with Ursala, my curse will be over."

Niomi could not say anything while Yifang rubbed his forehead.

"You promised you will give me anything when you took Veer's side.
Now I want that favor. Give me Saya and stop coming in between us.
If a lycan loves someone than he don't even care about their mate and you know about it.
If you dared to harm her in any way, I will forget that you are my mother."

Yifang did not stay after saying it and left the room while Niomi angrily made fists. She got up and paced around the room before sighing.

"I don't care about them but I only care for you. If you want her than I won't come in between from now on."
She spoke in low tone as she made a decision.

.........

Xavier was following Felix as he entered the palace. He went out in the city to visit and on his way back, he bought something for someone special.

As he was walking towards his chamber, he saw Bina who had few things in her hands. Her crystal was shining bright purple indicating he had her powers back but now that purple color was tinted with a mixture of res showing she find her fated one too.

"Hey, Bina." Felix wanted to help her but Bina only glared at him.
"Let me carry your stuff."

"It's very delicate. Do not touch anything." Her tone was same falt and emotionless but Felix became embarrassed. Does she think he is a child and break her stuff.

"Oh ho....do not worry, I will be careful." Felix forcefully took the stuff and walked towards her room while Xavier stopped Bina.
He forwarded the box towards her that contain a ring. He should not have bought the ring but he could not help.
Bina was very pretty and mysterious that make him want to know more about her.

"I can't take it."

"Why not?"

"Why would I take a gift from you?" She rather questioned him who was confused.

"Because, I....just take it."

"Kindly give it to your partner. It won't be a good idea having it from you."

"Why not? I am giving it to you and you should take it. It does not has any meaning."

"You are right. It does not has any meaning to you but I am afraid I might fall in love with you." She told him in a flat yone and walked away while Xavier saw her leaving and then walked towards her and grabbed her wrist.

"Is there any problem in it?"

"Prince Xavier, you are a human and I am a witch. We can't be together. Let's forget everything that happened last night. "

"Are you angry with me?" He freed her wrist who shook her head and her expressions were still the same.

"I understand everything. Therefore, it's better for you to not get involved with me."

She told him and left while Xavier saw him leaving in the distance. He suddenly felt bad and angry but as Bina stopped near Paul, he watched them talking to each other and could not feel anything but betrayed.
She had a problem with him but not with Paul.

"I will meet you in your room tonight."
Paul told Bina as she informed him about ready to treat him.

"I will wait for you."
She nodded and walked towards her room while Paul also went in other direction. As they left, Gloria came out from behind the pillar and was ready to cry.

"He is meeting her tonight."

"You are thinking too much." Saya did not know how to handle the situation.

"I am pretty sure he is going to sleep with her. It's all your fault. You brought her here and now she is seducing Paul."

Gloria's eyes became teary while Saya saw Xavier reaching towards them.

"What is going on?"

"Nothing... I heard you are leaving and..." He watched them while Saya tried to divert his attention.

Xavier knitted his brows as he glanced at Gloria.

"That witch.....she is seducing my husband. I will kill her right now."

"Or it could be the other way around. You husband is the one seducing her."

Gloria stared at Xavier.

"Really, then why she invited him to get room tonight."

Now Xavier looked stunned and heart broken.

"Brother...."

"She can't do this. That's why she rejected the ring. Not after sleeping with me."
He whispered to himself while Saya blinked.

"You were the one who touched her crystal. Brother....how could you..."

Xavier looked at Saya who was fast to put two and two together.

"You should keep an eye on her before she go seducing others husbands." Gloria now started fighting with him while Xavier scoffed.

"It's your husband who is after her. You should control him instead of blaming others."

Saya only stared at the two who were busy fighting and did not know what to do.

..........

Extra scene

Gloria: My Paul. My innocent Paul. That witch is trying to steal him from me. I will kill her.

Xavier: Bina is too innocent. It must be that lycan who is blackmailing her. It's not that I like her but I still can't be a toy in the hands of that disgusting creature.

Saya: Something is wrong here. I can feel it.
