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

~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

~Lyrielle~"Father," I cried out as I watched him fall to his knees, one moment standing, the next his head rolling on the ground. Why was I back here? This had happened before, yet I found myself returning to the time when my family had died, just standing there watching them perish. "Kale, Mother," I tried to move forward as the neck hung them, but I couldn’t. My body refused to move on its own, and all I could do was bite my hand to silence my sobs.I shouldn’t be back here, I thought as I looked around and saw no one else. It was just me and my family. They pointed their fingers towards me when I turned back to face them. "You killed us, Lyrielle. This is all your fault.""No," I tried to say, covering my ears and closing my eyes, telling myself it was a dream. "I shouldn’t be here," I screamed, and then suddenly, a torrent of icy water slammed into my face, ripping me from the haunting memory. I fluttered my eyes open, expecting to see my family in front of me, but instead, I was

~Arineth~I grinned as I stared down the cliff watching Lyrielle fall. “Arineth, you bastard!” she screamed, her voice sharp before it dissolved into the gusts. My hands tingled from the shove I had given her. It was not to kill her but to scare her out of her wits. I still didn’t trust her, but I had seen it after pushing her. The regret was written on her face.I covered my face with my cloak and turned around, flaring my cloak like a flag. “Did you teleport her safely?” I asked the masked servants opposite me.“Yes, my lord, she’s fine,” one of them replied.I smiled. Good. She would live, but this memory of almost dying again would be forever in her head.I threw my head back and cackled when I remembered the terror as I had pushed her. It was fun to watch her cower in fear but to make her strong; her fear was the first thing to get rid of and i didn't regret pushing her. “Summon the portal,” I ordered the Masked servantsThey turned around and summoned the portal. I walked through

~Lyrielle~My eyes widened in shock as I felt the betrayal’s knife twisting in my gut. I fell to my knees, the cloak pooling around me, covering my small frame. I couldn’t believe what I had seen. Daveth was alive, laughing with the crowd; Eiraeth was marrying Diana; the Luna Queen and the Alpha King all wore looks of happiness on their faces while my family was gone, executed unjustly.Sobs tore from my throat, raw and ragged, and I stood up, lurching forward, desperate to reach them, to scream and ask why they had done this to me and my family, but Arineth’s hand clamped around mine, dragging me back. Before I could take another step, I was pulled outside and sucked into a portal, the purple light swallowing us whole.The portal opened again atop a mountain cliff, and I felt the wind howling around us, sending a shiver down my spine. I turned to face Arineth and yanked my hand free from his.“What the hell am I doing here?” I demanded. “I want to go back!” I shouted, the wind tearin

~Lyrielle~“Where are we going?” I indulged the masked woman in another conversation as she finished dressing the bandage around me, but I received no response. Instead, she draped a cloak around my body. It fell past my shoulders and covered my face. It was so large that I felt hidden, swallowed by its folds.“Are we meeting the prince now?” I asked. She pointed to the door for me to walk out.When she didn’t answer me, I said nothing more and followed her outside into the open air.A sprawling courtyard stretched before me, leading to the front of a building. It was an old, abandoned structure, with half of it destroyed. The air tasted like dust and decay as I walked toward the front. My boots crunched over shards of glass and crumbled concrete. The place felt exposed and forgotten and seemed like a ruin or refuge, making me wonder how Arineth had discovered it and why he had brought me here.At the center of the courtyard stood Arineth, already waiting for me. His cloaked figure st

~Lyrielle~My eyes fluttered open to a blinding light stabbing into them. It was as sharp as a blade, and I quickly closed my eyes to adjust to the brightness. This was the netherworld; I was sure of it. I remembered the fire claiming me, and I should be dead, but then, as I shifted, I felt the softness pressed against my back. It was too real, too gentle for death.Pain seared through my left side, a burning ache that made me gasp. My hand fumbled, brushing the thick bandages around my ribs, face, left hand, and legs. The memories of the fire came crashing in, and I recalled the look my mother had given me when she was about to be hanged, how my father’s blood had splattered on my face as he was beheaded, and how my brother had told me he loved me.I shouldn’t be here. I should be in the netherworld, suffering for what I had done because of my greed.The door creaked open, and two figures walked into the room. A man dressed in a dark cloak, the hood hiding his face, stepped forward.

~Lyrielle~ “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” The voices of the werewolves that had gathered at the execution grew as my Family and I were dragged to the arena. Rough hands shoved me forward, and I winced in pain as the ropes around my wrists and ankles scratched my flawless skin, leaving behind a huge scar. As we walked by, the werewolves pressed in close, their faces twisted with rage. They threw things at us, especially me. A rotten apple struck my cheek, its sour juice mingling with the blood trickling from a gash on my forehead. Another hit my shoulder; then, a stone grazed my temple. “Whore!” “Murderer!” “Die, you filth!” I lowered my head in shame as I couldn't bear to meet their eyes, which once shined warmly when my Family and I walked the Capital streets. Everyone knew how noble my Family was. My father, Alpha Han, had been the pillar of our pack. He was known as a kind, tireless leader who’d earned their love. But that was gone now, erased by the accusations br

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

I raised an eyebrow. The witch was the key to bringing down my brother, and Emma had hinted a few days ago that she might be connected to her. “Go on.”Gerald leaned forward, his eyes intense. “It’s our daughter, Axel.”I frowned, confused at what he had said. “Your daughter?”“Yes, the witch,” Gera

~Axel~I walked beside Tamara as we approached the company entrance, her presence drawing the eyes of the employees around us. They stared, whispering among themselves as we walked in. Tamara remained by my side, hiding her face because she had been against that when I suggested it in the morning, b

~Tamara~Axel gently laid me on the bed, leaning in to kiss me again. “Tamara,” he said, his voice low and rough. His hands found my face, thumbs brushing my cheeks gently, and I felt my heart racing with every touch. “I meant it when I said that you were my future back in the dream. I don't know if
