"Now!" Zephyr shouted and pushed me to the floor in a swift motion, jumping on the intruder with a ringing thud hitting the ground. My instincts were right about what the intruder was holding. It was a sword that he could have stabbed me with if I wasn't awake."Who the hell sent you?" Zephyr scream
~DANE~My screams echoed through the walls of my room as I clenched my fists tightly, drawing blood. Surprises abounded tonight. Not only did I discover that Daphne had survived and was now posing as Sapphire, but her survival threatened to ruin everything I had meticulously planned. How could she s
~ZEPHYR~A frown formed on my face as Silver insisted for the umpteenth time that he would escort us back to the pack despite my repeated orders to leave with his mate.“I am your beta. I am supposed to protect you!” He placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently. “They could be around us, l
They were the smart ones, and they had gotten us.The driver’s eyes met mine in the rearview mirror, a sly grin spreading across his face. He pulled out a gun and turned around, his eyes leaving the road but his other hand still on the wheel. He pointed the gun at Sapphire. “This was so much easier
“Yes.”My eyes scanned the men, counting five of them. Five, yet deadly. They watched us like hawks, waiting to see if we would attack. When we didn’t, one of the men moved forward, swinging his sword to my neck. “Where is the black scroll?” he demanded. “Tell me now, or you die!” He yelled and rais
~SAPPHIRE~‘’Zephyr!’’ I muttered his name as I shook his body to wake him up, but he didn’t respond. I wanted to scream at him for putting himself at risk yet again because of me, but he lay lifeless in my arms, blood seeping from his back, his face becoming paler with each passing second. He was s
‘’A little more, Mira. Please, do this for us.’’Mira groaned again but didn’t say anything and continued to run. Zephyr’s life depended on it whether we liked it or not. Thunder rumbled, the sky opened above us, and rain poured in sheets. It happened just like the night I was being chased. The Moon
I nodded and took the bowl from his hand. The man turned Zephyr over to a shelf beside the fireplace and brought out a box with various medical instruments.He looked at me with a frown spread across his face. ‘’Don’t give me that look. I live in the forest, so I have to be prepared in case I get at
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
