《Love Me Again》Chapter 10

Corden turned towards Blake.
"You don't have a girlfriend right now?"
"That's right," Blake said sounding bored.
"Everyone is wondering if that's because you aren't over your ex-wife, Elizabeth Bell."
When he said that, I froze. The last thing I wanted from this interview was for him to bring up my past life.
Although I changed my name to Rose Matthews, I still freeze every time someone mentions that name. I try so hard to forget my past before I was Rose, but when you have so many people constantly bringing it up you can't escape it.
Blake's answer brought me back to the present.
"No! Honestly, I was glad to be out of that marriage. It was a burden, constantly having to be married to her. I don't have a girlfriend, because I want to be able to enjoy the single life for a while. Since I was tied to someone for so long, I just want to have some freedom in my life," He spoke with honesty pouring out of each word.
I felt France and James each grab my hand as I felt my heartbreak again. I never knew my heart could break even more. My heart is already broken into a million pieces and somehow he was able to break it even more.
Thankfully Corden stopped asking Blake about our past, but he then turned his attention towards me.
"So I know about the others' relationship status, but I don't know about yours. We haven't seen you date anyone since you became a major artist. The last I heard you were married to someone and you got divorced."
I stopped breathing for a second thinking Corden had found out about my past life. But when he didn't offer any other information, I knew he didn't know so I was able to breathe a little better.

I smiled and relaxed into the couch. I tried to think of a way to not answer the question but not look like I'm avoiding it.
So I got up and walked towards Corden. I sat on the arm of his chair and leaned towards him.
" You know why I'm not in a relationship? It's because I have a secret crush on someone..."
"Who?" He asked sounded interested.
"You..." I said giving him my best seductive look.
Everyone busted out laughing as did I. I walked back to the couch getting high fives from James and France.
"That's hilarious, " Corden scoffed as he tried to calm the crowd.
"I get it! It's really funny but calm down," when everyone kept, laughing he tried to shush them again.
" I get it. It's really funny thinking a hot girl would like a chubby man. Now, we have more important matters to discuss. Like why are you trying to avoid the question."
I sighed as France grabbed my hand again. I told the media about the basics of my past. Enough for them to lay off me for a while but not enough so they could connect me and my old life.
"You are correct about me being married before. I was married for almost two years with the love of my life, but our marriage ended very badly and we got a divorce."
Corden said, " I'm sorry, I heard it was recent."
"Is that why you don't want to be in a relationship anymore," Zack asked.
I was surprised he was talking to me. I know that in interviews all the people usually talk and interact with one another, but I thought he would somehow recognize it was me.
"Yes. I thought we had a true and pure love, but he showed me the ugly side of love. He showed me what it is like to love someone who doesn't love you anymore. I just don't believe in love anymore, and I don't want to give anyone hope that I could love them because I can't," I struggled to explain it as honestly as possible in my response.

Zack laughed at my answer," You and my brother, Blake, should get together. You two are so much alike."
France squeezed my hand because he knew how much it hurt to hear that. I knew how alike and how different we were. If only he knew I was the woman he was married to for two years, he wouldn't be saying that.

Laura Alexandra Muriel is the willful 16-year-old crown princess of the island kingdom of Andania. Endowed with breathtaking beauty and well-versed in both the twin arts of magic and the zither, she’s the gem of the imperial family.

As the flames of war ignite throughout the world and Andania teeters on the brink of destruction, the nation’s survival demands the ultimate sacrifice from one to save the many. A civilization with two opposing systems of magic. Ancient Magic: Wielded only by Andanian witches, emphasizes innate Talent and self-sacrifice for higher magic (Talismans, Song). New Creation Magic: Preferred by the high gods & the rest of the world, requires sacrificing the life energy and blood of others for higher magic (Spells, Incantations & countless other forms). A world with two antagonistic superpowers and an island nation forced to the brink of extinction. Protectorate of Vaishya: The world’s largest trading union. Calcutta, the capital is the wealthiest city on earth, and ruled by the benevolent Zimran royal family, who seeks to establish a trading monopoly on unique Andanian magic. Empire of Saadian: The world’s mightiest slave empire. Riyadh, the capital is the grandest city on earth, built on the backs of countless slaves, and ruled by the Immortal Emperor Xerxes, who seeks exclusive rights to the immense military potential of unique Andanian magic. Andania: In its golden age, its unrivalled magical wares were famous throughout the known world. Magical artifacts with unimaginable power, flying fleets of steel, and enchantments that rivaled the divine blessings of gods. But today. An aged powerless king clings on to power with his two young daughters, the last of the ancient witches of Andania. And as the fleets of both Vaishya & Saadian crest the horizon, the survival of the nation is threatened as never before. And two princesses that simply wanted to spend a happy childhood together in peace. Laura Alexandra Muriel: The willful & stubborn elder sister and The Witch of Andania, the title granted to the most accomplished witch of her generation. Her sworn duty, to sacrifice even her very life, to ensure the safety of her people. Her greatest love and lifelong competitor, her dearest younger twin sister. Lily Alexandra Muriel: The kind & supportive younger sister and the undisputed genius in the zither and song. Her only wish, to live in peace and quiet with her elder twin. Her curse, a power that could doom an empire to desolation. What’s the worst that could happen? A forbidden Tower, that can grant any wish. A forgotten Species, resides within the darkest depths of the seas. An ancient Serpent, plots to usurp the remnants of the high gods. Powerful witches, desperate wishes, lost memories. Immortal emperor, devious archmages, blood sacrifice. High gods, undead diviners, hidden costs. Will the mortal witches finally triumph? Will the Immortal rule the world? Will the gods survive the serpent’s schemes? And what about that cute fluffy kitten? Will she ever have her heart’s desire? Tags: Fantasy, Action, Tragedy, Romance, Comedy, Adventure, Strategy, Magic

8 142GAMMA COLE & THE SILVER WOLF
"Hey Gamma." Alice giggles looking up to me, not even noticing that Jay has gone. Her cheeks have a pink hue to them from all the Vodka, her eyes are full of mischief as she goes to take another sip. I quickly grab the drink from her hand before it can reach her lips and throw it away into a nearby bush without a second thought. "Yeah, you're done with that, Wonderland." I grin at her as she scowls at me."Hey!" Alice protests. She gets to her feet, a little wobbly. Then stands on the log she was just sat on, so she is at my height. She puts her hands on her hips and scrunches up her eyes as if to try and get me into focus. "I'm not scared of you, Gamma! You can't just take a girls drink you know!" She slurs out as she pokes my chest now with an accusing index finger. Anyone else would be in a world of pain for talking to me like this, but all I want to do is pull her into my arms and kiss her till her lips are bruised and swollen. She's fucking adorable when drunk. Not giving a fuck if anyone's watching us or not, I step forward, crowding right into her space making her physically gulp at our proximity."I don't scare you huh?" I growl at her in a deep but quiet voice. She bites her lip, but not out of fear, she likes it when I talk to her like this. "You don't look like the big-bad-wolf to me." She whispers."What do I look like to you?" I rasp out quietly as her fingertips continue featherlight touches to my lips."I don't know...something..." She breathes, her eyes crease with both confusion and fascination.----------Labelled as having a dangerous wild wolf, Alice is left feeling isolated on her family's farm for most of her childhood. However, now she is of age, she can finally follow her dreams and compete to be on the elite enforcers squad and win the heart of long-time crush Beta Jay. That is until the packs Gamma, Cole, takes over her training and flips her life upside down. (This is a slow burn; I hope you enjoy x)
