~Dane~Everything was going as planned, just as my mother had advised me. Once Zephyr was found guilty, he couldn't save himself. Everything he had would become mine: the title of War Alpha, the wealth, the pack, and even Daphne. All of it would be mine."Very soon," I reminded myself as I stared at
~Zephyr~"Hey!" I called out to the guard standing beside the door. "What's happening?"The guard eyed me suspiciously, remaining silent until I persisted. "Did anything happen?""You didn't hear this from me," he whispered, drawing closer. "It seems there's another Legora, and one of the elders is
Sapphire."Hey," she mouthed.My heart skipped a beat as I saw her smiling. Being away from her for days felt like hell. Just seeing her gave me hope. "Hey!" I mouthed back before being pushed to the witness stand.The door opened again, and everyone stood as the Alpha King walked in, followed by Da
He only nodded at me.I faced the judge again as the video stopped playing, and he asked another question. "Who is behind you, and why have you dragged the War Alpha into this?"The man didn't say anything until the judge slammed his hands on the table and yelled at him, "I dare you to speak up righ
~ZEPHYR~"I want him to crawl on the ground and beg for all the pain he has put me through!"Dane made a sound, his hand hitting the stand before him. "How could you say that to me? How can I…"I chuckled. "That is my demand, and I am not finished," I responded harshly, pointing at him. "You torture
"I am glad that you are alright."I tapped him on the back and pulled away from the hug. "Thank you for standing up for me too. With that being said, let's get out of here." I grabbed Sapphire’s hand and wrapped my arms around her waist."Do you think this is the end?" Dane’s words stopped me. "Are
"Everything alright?" Sapphire asked as we entered the elevator. "Are you…""I am fine," but I wasn’t. My body was tense about meeting someone I knew. Someone from my past.When the elevator doors opened, my curiosity grew as we walked down the hallway, passing by doors until we reached a number.10
~Zephyr~“You crawled out?” Cypher’s story was just like mine. He had been stabbed and left for dead in a hole. Like me, he managed to crawl out, but that was after the hole had been set on fire, leaving half of his face burnt.“My face is proof that I almost died in that fire, brother,” he sighed a
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
