~Zephyr~I gritted my teeth as the guard’s whip struck my back again and again. Each lash felt like a burning stripe as it had been laced with Silver to weaken me. I could barely feel my wolf as he was pushed to the back of my mind because of the Silver. I had to do that for him so that we could bot
"You will regret torturing me," I snarled at the guard, already picturing how I would yank his head from his body once I got out of there.The guard laughed at me. "No one said anything about you leaving here. This is where you shall die!"I faced him, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto his face.
"Let him go!" the Alpha King ordered.Dane growled at me before letting go of my throat; then he dropped the metal into the remaining burning coals. "Count yourself lucky.""No, you should count yourself lucky!" I responded.He lunged at me again, but the Alpha King came between us. "That is enough.
~Sapphire~I rubbed my head for the umpteenth time as I spoke to Alexander. Since Zephyr's arrest, I have been looking for a way to help him. The evidence they found shocked me because I never expected someone to plant them around his office. Either Zephyr did it, or someone betrayed him. Just like
We burst out of the house, and I saw them—the guards—lying on the ground, their bodies motionless in a pool of blood. My heart raced again as I realized that we were about to face a powerful intruder. Then I saw him—a man in a black mask, wearing black outfits. At first thought it was the Black Men'
SAPPHIRE“Remind me why we are here?” Silver complained again as he looked around us, rolling his eyes in annoyance. “There’s nothing here but just trees,” he griped, and he wasn’t wrong. We followed Cypher into a forest because, according to him, it would help us with Zephyr’s investigation.“It’s
“They didn’t think of that when they murdered my family!” Cypher’s tone was dark and low. Darker than when we had met him that night. He didn’t sound like he was joking because his face was contorted in anger, his eyes blazing with fire as if he were ready to murder anyone at that spot. “They did th
~Sapphire~“We will go in with them,” Cypher informed us, and we nodded in response. “Let the hunt begin!” Cypher raised his bow and aimed three arrows at the men pushing the carriage. The arrows hit them all at once, and I was amazed by his skill. “Yes!” he muttered, throwing the bow and remaining
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
