~Tamara~The silence between Leonara and me was almost deafening as we walked toward the elevator. She didn’t bother holding the door for me, simply watching as I sprinted inside just before it closed.Her disdainful glare met mine briefly before she shifted her attention back to the book in her han
"I should let the Alpha King know once I’m home. I know. After all, I’m nothing!" I cut her off sharply before she could finish. The words spilled out before I could control them. "Don’t worry, Beta. I already know everything. You don’t have to remind me over and over again!" The venom in my voice s
~Tamara~I had never been happier in weeks than I was sitting on a bench in the park, staring at the breathtaking sunset. The park was alive with joy, and it warmed my heart to see children running around happily while their parents watched over them with smiles.Just watching them stirred a vision
‘’you talk like you know what I want.’’‘’I didn’t because you already mentioned it yourself. Didn’t you say that you want a happy life?’’I folded my arms as I gave him a questioning look. ‘’I don’t think what I wished for was bad because a happy life equals living the best of your life.’’‘’Some l
~Axel~I hadn’t been this angry in a long time—not since Lyra died. But this wasn’t just anger; it was worry, a deep, gnawing concern that consumed me when I learned Tamara was missing. The news hit me like a punch to the gut, dredging up painful memories of Lyra. She had vanished two days before he
‘’Axel, you jerk.’’A smile formed on my face, knowing that she was fine and was also thinking about me, but I couldn’t help but feel like we were being watched by someone. I looked around us but found nothing suspicious, and then I turned back to Tamara and gently lifted her off the bench into my a
‘’so you’d rather have a baby on your own!’’‘’At least I wouldn’t have to be controlled by you all the time!’’ she yelled again and sighed heavily, placing a hand on her forehead as she tried to catch her breath. ‘’I can’t do anything anymore because you always make sure that I am being watched, an
~Tamara~I burst through the door of my room, slamming it shut behind me. I leaned against the door, my chest heaving as I struggled to catch my breath. I wanted to run away. I wanted to escape the suffocating grip Axel had on my life. I wished that I could flee from the constant control, the endles
Tears of joy spilled down my face as he spoke of the meeting with the council. With every word, the pain in my shoulder lessened as if his recognition was healing me."Do you think I’d forget you?" Axel scoffed, rolling his eyes dramatically. "If there’s one thing I’d never forget, it is the act tha
~Tamara~I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder as I slowly opened my eyes. Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to understand what was happening. The room suddenly darkened, and for a few minutes, my vision failed me—I couldn’t see a thing. I fought to keep my eyes open, desperate to meet Axel’s
“Beware,” he shouted. “Your ill-fated relationship began when you two met years ago.”I furrowed my brows, confused by what he meant. I pointed at him, then at myself. “Are you saying I’m Lyra?” I asked, making sure I hadn’t misheard. “How the hell am I, Lyra? She hasn’t died for so long, and—“It
~Tamara~A blinding light appeared as I kissed Axel. It was so bright that I had to close my eyes briefly, my lips still pressed against his. When the light faded, I found myself in an entirely different place. It appeared to be a hallway, but it resembled a dungeon more than anything else. The unfa
Silver, Ian, and Leonora.“Oh goddess,” I turned to the Axel beside me. “Isn’t that Ian?” He nodded. “Wow,” I muttered, unable to believe it. I’d thought Ian and Axel had always hated each other. “How? Don’t they have a long-term feud?”Axel looked at me with a deep frown. “I’m not sure where you go
~Tamara~When I opened my eyes, someone stood above me, staring down. At first, I could barely see because of the light shining above my head. I blinked and rubbed my eyes, and once they adjusted to the brightness, the face came into view. It was a familiar one.“Axel,” I rubbed my eyes again, thin
Could this be a test within the dream? Was I being challenged to see if I would quit before I even tried?I had no clear answer, but I decided to trust my instincts. Moving closer to one of the walls, I whispered, "You've got this, Tamara." I smiled as an idea suddenly formed in my mind. Since this
~Tamara~"We shall now begin," Emma said before she started chanting. Her Voice gradually faded until I could no longer hear her, and everything went still. I had no idea what happened after that, but I was in a dark room when I woke up. I couldn’t help but wonder if I was already inside Axel’s drea
~Tamara~ "The dream is a dangerous place!" Emma’s warning echoed in my mind as I stood in front of my brother’s room. She had told me that stepping into Axel’s dream would be painful—that I might not return as the same person. If I failed, I might not return at all.The first person I thought of af
