I felt like a celebrity since it was the first time I had ever been in the spotlight. ‘’You are doing great,’’ he whispered into my ear as we made our way to the red carpet, striking poses for the cameras.’’Alpha Zephyr, look this way,’’ A reporter shouted.‘’is this your mate? Is she with you toni
~SAPPHIRE~This wasn’t a dream; it was real. Dane and Alexa were seated across from me, glares piercing me. Their eyes tracked my every move, monitoring me closely, hoping for failure.Just like I did in the past.My heart continued to beat with a mixture of anxiousness and curiosity. Not even the r
‘’is there a problem, Alpha Dane?’’ Zephyr asked him, as he might have noticed his gaze on me. ‘’Is there anything you would like to say?’’ it was as if he dared Dane to continue staring at me. The tension between them became palpable; soon, all eyes were fixed on us.The alpha king’s calm voice fin
" What are you doing in a lady’s washroom? Is your mate here?” That came out well, even though my voice was a little shaky.No response." If you don’t have anything to say to me, then I shall take my leave now,” I slightly bowed and attempted to walk away, but Dane’s hand shot out and grasped my wr
Dane called out. ‘’how did you..,?’’ he was dumbstruck. ‘’how did you manage to tackle me like that?’’I turned to face him and smiled. ‘’ I am a different person, and I hope you don’t forget it.’’ With that, I turned to leave the room, but suddenly, I was pulled backward, with Dane holding my throa
~ZEPHYR ~It was here. I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the black Scroll on display—the Scroll of Wisdom, rumored to have been left by the previous king. It was supposed to be locked in the king's vault, but here it was, being auctioned off as if it meant nothing.How did it even end up her
"This, ladies and gentlemen, is the late king’s scroll, known as the Scroll of Wisdom," the auctioneer announced, pointing to the black Scroll encased in glass. "It is said that no one has been able to decipher its secrets, though many have attempted to unlock its power. The previous king was evil,
If only she knew that she had put us in danger.I groaned inwardly and forced a smile when she looked at me. This was not helping. The alpha king would kill us over the black Scroll; if we survived the night, it would be a miracle. I heaved a deep sigh and, through gritted teeth, muttered, "Sapphire
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 shifted on the bed and heaved a deep sigh as the camera showed Dane. ‘’ Dane, the mastermind behind the alpha king,'' Zephyr continued. ''He and the alpha king plotted against me after discovering my identity. They took over the whole Eradon, and Dane took on my title, holding my mate captive for
~SAPPHIRE~I slowly opened my eyes to the steady beeping of machines and the antiseptic smell. The scent of disinfectant and sterile air filled my nostrils, making my head spin. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my temples, forcing me back onto the pillow. ‘’Luna,’’ a voice sounded a
When Dane saw us rushing out, he took his chance and joined the crowd. No one could stop him because we were all too busy trying to get out. The countdown continued, the numbers ticking away with alarming speed. ‘’10, 9,8…’’ Now, everyone was safely out, and it was just Cypher, Zephyr, and Silver
