~Elena~"Thank you for today," I muttered to Christian as we stood beside his car, neither wanting to leave."It’s all thanks to you," he replied, a smile on his face. "I mean, I was able to make my grandfather happy again, thanks to you."A chuckle escaped my lips as I looked up at him, finding that he was also staring at me. "Owen almost ruined everything, by the way," I reminded him, and he sighed."As if I knew that was going to happen," he responded. "I already had everything planned out.""That’s so cool!" I said, genuinely excited. I was amazed by how quickly he had regained control of the situation. I had known it, even though he hadn’t told me directly. His quick thinking made me grow fond of him. I knew I shouldn’t be feeling that way, especially since I didn’t know him or his intentions towards me, but he had shown that I could trust him, even if it was just a little."Thank you for acting perfectly today in front of my grandfather," he said again, even though he had mention

~Owen~ I knew all hell would break loose once my father returned from the royal mansion. I hadn’t expected Christian to have me followed and discover the girls I’d been secretly seeing behind Elena’s back. The plan was to go there and ruin Elena's dinner, but it backfired, and now I was in serious trouble with my father. I knew exactly what my father would do—especially since it involved his favorite child: my older brother, the only one he truly cared about. Before he came back, my mother was already nagging me about what I’d done, warning me of the consequences and how I could avoid my father’s wrath that night. “Just make sure you go straight to your room and don’t say anything unless I ask you to. You know how he usually is when angry, so please, don’t make him even more annoyed,” she advised. Not wanting to make things worse, I followed her advice, heading to my room and sitting on my bed. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen when my father returned. Curious,

~Christian~The table grew silent, and the only noise was the clicking of our spoons on our plates. Dinner went on for almost an hour, with anyone barely eating anything on their plates except my grandfather. It was torture having people who were my enemies with me on the table pretending to be good, and finally, after almost an hour, my father spoke up again. ‘’Now,’’ he settled his glass on the table and wiped his mouth clean before speaking again. ‘’ The main reason for the dinner is to discuss the inheritance,’’ he announced. Elena suddenly stood up, but I grabbed her hand. ‘’where are you going?’’ I whispered to her. ‘’I…’’ she tried to speak as all eyes on the table turned towards her. ‘’I am not sure if I am supposed to be a part of this meeting.’’ My grandfather laughed and pointed to her chair so she could sit. ‘’Don’t worry about that because you are getting married to Christian. He will need your support as your husband.’’ Husband? I still haven’t gotten used to hearin

~Christian~I watched as Landon walked in with his father, his smug expression a familiar sight I had seen before. It had been years since we last saw each other, and I'd expected time to have changed him. But at one glance, he was still the same. He was still the same cocky boy I met when my parents died. His eyes locked onto mine, and that same condescending smirk spread across his face. My fists clenched instinctively, a surge of anger coursing through me, and I had the urge to punch him in the face.Landon's presence was a harsh reminder of our family's complicated dynamics. We shared a mother, but that's where our connection ended. He was the illegitimate son, born to a thug father. On the other hand, I was the rightful heir to the royal family. Landon always reminded me how he'd steal everything from me when we were younger. Seeing him again brought back memories I'd rather forget. His father's presence made matters worse.The little I knew about Landon's father was that he was

~Elena~My heart pounded hard in my chest as I drove into the driveway of the royal Mansion. Just like my grandfather’s Mansion, it exuded an aura of wealth and legacy yet rivaled it in building, making it seem like a common home in comparison. The beauty of the Mansion was breathtaking as I reached the front door, where Christian was waiting for me, dressed in a tailored blue suit that accentuated his chiseled features. A dazzling smile spread across his face as our eyes met, and I felt excitement. This was all fake, I reminded myself, but my heart pounded harder as he approached, still smiling. I forgot how to breathe for a second as he reached my side and stretched forth his hand for me to take. ‘’Welcome, Elena,’’ he said, his voice low and smooth. ‘’You look beautiful.’’ My face suddenly turned red, and I tried hard to avoid looking at him as each glance made my heart race faster. ‘’And you look dashing in your…’’I trailed off, unsure how to finish, but he understood and chuck

~Elena~My hands grew colder as the car drove into my grandfather’s estate. Throughout the ride, I tried so hard not to be obvious about being around him, and each time he tried to speak to me, I responded with quick words that wouldn’t drag the discussion any further. I was not supposed to be helpless in front of a man who could be like everyone else, and even though he gave a good impression at my funeral, I still didn’t trust him yet because I had no idea what he was capable of doing. "We have arrived, sir." The driver’s announcement and Christian’s hand on my shoulder jolted me out of my thoughts. ‘’I uhm…’’ I cleared my throat as I faced him. ‘’Thank you so much for today,’’ I told him. Just then, the door opened, and I gave him a little wave before stepping out of the car. I didn’t know what to say to him, and I felt like a fool seeing how he watched me walk out of the car without responding, but to my surprise, he walked out right after me and stood behind me. ‘’I have to wa

“But we have encountered more war than they have ever had,” he heaved a deep sigh. “If only that boy was here, then maybe he would have put himself to use and helped us fight against the faeries.” I knew he was talking about Arineth. After all, he was the son that was used to wage war, and Arineth h

Daveth heaved a deep sigh and placed a hand on his beating chest. “I fear for our lives if she is truly alive because we had wronged her. We had…” “Enough!” I shouted at him and slapped his face. “She is dead! That woman we just saw is the fae queen! I do not want you to breathe another word of thi

~Eiraeth~ It can’t be her; that was what I had told myself when I saw the veil be lifted up. Everyone had the same look on their faces because no one was expecting to see Lyrielle’s lookalike. She was gone and didn’t exist anymore, but this woman, the fae queen, bears so much resemblance that it w

My father turned around and quickly lowered his head even before I spoke up. “It is my fault for not teaching my family properly, and this has made them take the king’s mate as someone they know.” I knew he was going to do damage control and pretend to be a great father as always, but I knew that h

They all stared at Lyrielle as if they were seeing a ghost. Those who made it evident that they were indeed staring were the Luna Queen, Eiraeth, and Daveth. After all, they were the ones deeply involved in what had happened to her and her family. Their plans were what ruined her life. “Is everythi

Lyrielle nodded and thanked them again. “It’s a pleasure to have you here, and I hope that later, you will be open to a girls’ get-together, and we can hang out.” Both of the queens exchanged looks, and I had thought they were going to decline, but they didn’t. Instead, they nodded in response. “We

Both stopped arguing and turned their attention toward Sapphire, who loudly screamed, her face contorted in anger. The table fell silent, and she made the announcement again. “My water just broke!” she shouted, louder this time.Wahaya’s voice echoed in my head. “Help her!” he shouted.“I think the

~ZEPHYR~A Year Later,Sapphire organized a family dinner in honor of Cassandra. According to her, it was what Cassandra would have wanted. Since everyone had been busy with different duties since the coronation, it was the perfect time to gather and have a family dinner.I had thought the dinner wo

I heaved a deep sigh and looked up at the sky, smiling, knowing that Cassandra was watching us and that we had succeeded. ‘’we finally made it to the end, and we won!’’ Zephyr continued. ‘’I am sure that everyone who had lost their lives one way or the other is proud of what we have achieved!’’ he

The announcer’s voice boomed through the arena, and the crowd quieted. ‘’The coronation ceremony is now in session! Let us all stand and sing the Eradon anthem. ‘’ Zephyr grabbed my hand and pulled me up as the slow instrument played, first joined by the crowd's singing. ‘’Oh Eradon, The land of t

~SAPPHIRE~‘’Finally!’’ I muttered to myself as I stared at my reflection, tracing my fingers on the Purple sapphire necklace around my neck down to the beautiful, deep, rich purple dress that hugged my curves perfectly. The full skirt fell in soft folds to the floor, and I felt like a true queen.

They all started crying, murmuring amongst themselves while the Luna queen continued shouting the alpha king’s name. ‘’let the judgment begin!’’ Zephyr shouted. The alpha king was first pulled forward and dragged to the executioner block. His head was placed on the cold, wooden platter, his eyes s

I couldn’t bear to watch them acting foolishly when I had something else to deal with. I looked toward Tamara and saw her staring back at me, expecting me to say or do something.As I watched their argument unfold, I could feel the tension in the room rising. It was clear that both Emma and Gaion ha

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But as Emma’s words continued to echo in my mind, I felt my control slipping away. I could feel the rage building inside me, threatening to consume me completely.Without even realizing it, my hands had clenched into fists, my nails digging into the

~Axel~“Leave!” I yelled at Tamara, and my voice boomed through the room. Everyone was startled by my action, and even my wolf reacted by growling in my head. Tamara walked towards me, and concern was carved on her face. ''Are you alright?'' she askedI took a step back, my voice coming out like a

I gritted my teeth, fists clenching. "I knew you planned this!" I yelled. "What do you hope to gain? How?" I lunged at him, aiming for his stomach, but he vanished into thin air.Ian’s laughter echoed as he reappeared behind me. "Be careful now, brother," he said, his tone dripping with malice. "I’v

~Axel~"Where is she?" I questioned the guard I’d assigned to stay by Tamara’s side at the workplace as soon as he reached the mansion. I had expected to see Tamara, but she was nowhere to be found, and instead, the guard had come to report to me alone."She retired to her room as soon as we arrived

~Tamara~As I walked beside Axel toward the front of the company, my heart pounded with anticipation. All eyes turned toward us as we entered my department, the buzz of conversation halting. Employees stared, their curiosity evident, and I felt a flush creep up my neck. Axel, the alpha king, strode
