Silver:I never imagined that writing a letter to assure my family I was alive and well would be this difficult. There was a pile of scrunched-up papers on the floor next to me, papers I had written and destroyed because of how unnatural and faulty they all sounded. I had tried to leave hints of where I was in the first one but had only ended up confusing myself. Even if my family was able to decode that I was talking about werewolves, how would they be able to convince the rest of the clan to come to save me? And even if they did, their arrival here would only begin another war that would last for ages. The subsequent letters I wrote and tossed away didn’t go well either. Some of them did not sound like me at all and the rest sounded so mechanical, that my family would be scared I was in greater danger than I was and was only being forced to write to them. Now down to my tenth piece of paper, I didn’t know what else to write. I pictured my mother reading the letter and breaking dow
Silver:I was having the time of my life as Damon kissed me beyond my wildest dreams, until our moment was abruptly cut short by the library door creaking open. I was more irritated than afraid when Terah walked in and the glare I shot him did nothing to conceal that fact. I was still sitting on Damon’s lap with my hands wrapped around his neck and he did not try to remove me from his lap either even after Terah came in. He had the same look of irritation I had on his face. Terah paused in his steps, but apart from that, there was no other sign of surprise from him. I knew he hated the fact that I was so lovey-dovey with his Alpha, but after we had both confessed our feelings to each other and made up our minds to forget what people would say and take our relationship forward, the presence of the royal guard was only a slight inconvenience. I no longer cared what he thought about us. “Your Highness,” he greeted, bowing his head to the King and practically ignoring me. It was a good
The King let me go when he realized how determined I was. This was going to be our last chance at finding out who the King's enemies were, so there was no use beating about the bush when we could just go ahead and get this all over with. I walked silently behind Terah as we passed by the main roads. This was the first time I had been outside the palace since the Alpha’s fake death and it was far gloomier than I thought. The usually happy people going about their business were nowhere to be found as the people on the road had dreary expressions on their faces as they went about their day. No one looked happy. There was a slowness to their gait and the atmosphere was so sad that even the early evening looked darker than it usually did. As we went closer and closer to the harem, more depressed-looking people littered the roads. Some were just wailing out in the open while the others walked briskly and some stared. “What's going on?” I asked Terah, beginning to feel uncomfortable abou
Silver: “Are we going or not!” I asked Terah, rolling my eyes so that he wouldn't see how affected I was by his threat. Without another word to me, he turned and started to walk away and I followed. Along the way, the paths he was leading me through no longer seemed familiar. I couldn't say I knew my way to and from the palace, but I just knew that something was off. I had moved through those places enough times to know when something was off and when it wasn't. However, I was a little scared to ask Terah any questions about where we were. He was still angry with me, so any misstep on my part would just push him over the edge. Several minutes passed by, yet we hadn't reached the harem. I didn't remember that place being so far away from the palace. He didn't seem to want to stop anytime soon and I was getting both tired and wary. Just when I was about to give up and ask him where on earth he was taking me, he stopped in front of a gigantic building I had never seen before and sto
Silver: I sat down as Rogu asked, since I had no other choice. I stared straight at the Beta, making sure he could see the clear hatred in my eyes. I had always suspected Rogu, yet Gwyddion had convinced us he was so obvious it was too easy. If only we had focused on finding some evidence against him. However, Terah would have been our best bet to find anything yet he had been working for Rogu so even that plan wouldn't have worked out. Rogu was quite smart and it was easy to conclude he was the master mind behind this whole thing. However, he still had some lapses anyway. He really thought I was a hybrid, so that meant the power of my bracelet was higher than the extent of his intellect. “You might be wondering why I called you here,” he said to me. “Do I go on or do you want to speak first?” I didn't say anything back. There was nothing I had to say to him that he wouldn't tell me himself anyway. The person I wanted to talk to and ask all the questions was Terah. I wanted to as
Silver: I tried to keep my disinterest from showing. If Rogu wished to think I was a part werewolf, then fine, although at this point, knowing what they wanted to do to us humans, I never wished to be mistaken for a part of them. “My Lord, she's not a hybrid. She's human,” Terah corrected, speaking up for the first time since we were locked up in this room together. “It's her magical bracelet that makes her smell a little like us. She managed to trick everyone with it.” Rogu smiled once again and shook his head, apparently finding everything that was going on amusing. I didn't care if they thought I was a hybrid or not. I was more bothered by the fact that Rogu had seen and spoken with Victor, my best friend. The wristwatch I had gotten him was undeniable proof of that fact. He was even worse than I thought. If he was telling the truth, then that meant he had purposely put Victor in harm’s way, by convincing him he could find me using the map he had given him. What if Victor mana
Silver: He had a point, as much as I hated to admit it. However, I couldn’t find myself believing him over the Alpha I knew and loved. I just wished he hadn’t lied to me. I still remembered how Damon had returned to the library, smiling, after having just rejected me a few hours before. I wondered what had happened within those moments to change his mind, but now I knew. He had been found out I was a hybrid. The case of me being a hybrid was something I didn’t understand nor did I think I could ever come to terms with. I didn’t really think I was one, yet there were so many things I had assumed I knew about myself that turned out to be false. Being a hybrid meant I was a part werewolf, but it didn’t feel like it. I had always had a keen sense of smell, but it wasn't as exaggerated it as sensitive as that of a werewolf. I was just sensitive in that respect. It didn’t mean anything. I couldn’t shift, and apart from my hair which was a bit unusual because of its color, every other th
Silver:The walk back to the palace was quite shorter than our walk to Rogu’s new harem had been. Terah trudged silently by my side and I was thankful for the long way ahead. It offered me more time to think about what to say to the King and to recollect my thoughts while we went. By the time we passed by the streets, it was completely dark except for the slight rays of lamp-stands that covered the streets and came on at night. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get to see the girls at least for a while, but it wasn’t like I had a say in the matter. I had nothing to say to them anyway. The only person I wanted to see was Mila, but if I did eventually meet her, I wasn’t sure I would be able to hold myself from exposing all the secrets I was supposed to keep.If she had been a part of my meeting with Rogu, she would have looked on at me with disappointment. She would probably call me a traitor for bringing up the idea of accusing Gerald falsely to the King, just to save myself.
