"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
The man’s response sent ice coursing through my veins. ‘’I am your greatest nightmare,’’ he whispered into my ear. ‘’Run!’’ he shouted at me, then looked down at my stomach. ‘’This child, you will never have it! Kill them, child, and go far away!’’ he said and tried to drop me to the ground, but bef
~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
Emma stood up, her eyes blazing with anger. “Leonara, that’s enough!”I stepped forward, stopping Emma from intervening. “I’ll handle this myself.”She sighed, palming her forehead. “Whatever you want, but if she says anything else, I’ll make sure she gets a black eye.” She sat back down on the bed,
~Tamara~As I fluttered my eyes open, I gasped. My first instinct was to touch my chest, and when I felt the fullness of my breasts, I knew I was back in my body. My mind immediately went to Axel, who Ian had stabbed. I didn’t remember what had happened after he fainted in my arms, as I had also los
“You…” Tamara tried to say something else, but I grabbed her hand and shook my head at her. I knew what Ian was capable of doing, and he wasn’t bluffing when he said he would snap her neck.“Don't say another word. I will handle this,” I told her. She frowned at me but didn't say anything and angri
“I know you are somewhere around here, so show your stupid face, you coward!”My eyes roamed around for any sign of him, but there was none. I moved away from where I was and searched every corner of the room, including the curtains and outside the window. ''stop hiding if you want to fight me.'' By
~Axel~The park date was the best thing that had happened to me in years since Lyra's death. I never thought being in a park would bring me happiness. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss Tamara and I shared on our way home. Each time I thought about it, I glanced at her, my head filled with thou
~Tamara~ I missed the first shot and got water sprayed on my face. Axel got it, and I also got water on my face. It went on for six rounds until I got lucky and hit one of the balloons. "Yes!" I shouted excitedly as the water got sprayed on Axel's face. He scoffed but said nothing as he threw his
It was my turn to frown because I never expected that it would be all about me, and I couldn’t let him win. He got on my nerves as much as I did with him. “Axel! To hell with your stupid rules!” I screamed. “You think because you are the alpha king, you can control me? Hell no! I do whatever I want
~Tamara~ “The park? You brought me to an amusement park?” Axel sounded as if I had passed terrible judgment on him. He sounded like he didn’t want to be there, but it was the only place I could think of to relieve his stress. Luckily for us, Leonara had the whole place booked for us. “I thought th
