‘’Dane!’’ I screamed out his name, struggling to stand up and break the chains, but the guards held me back. They held both of my hands while Dane punched me in the stomach. ‘’There is nothing that you can do now, Zephyr. This is your end. Accept it!’’ I coughed out blood as he let me go and pushe
~SAPPHIRE~I slowly opened my eyes, wincing as a piercing pain shot through my head. Groggily, I lifted my hand to massage my temples, but a sharp sting made me yelp in pain. My fingers brushed against something sticky and warm blood. Panic set in as I looked around but couldn’t see anything. The da
Tristan’s face twisted into a sneer as he grabbed my hair, his fingers digging deep into my scalp. He yanked me back, slamming me against the wall with a vicious thrust.‘’I want to kill you so badly, sapphire,’’ he hissed at me. ‘’you are useless to everyone, now a liability. If not for Alpha Dane’
~Sapphire~ Six months later,I gritted my teeth as another kick was delivered to my stomach. No sound came out of my mouth because I had been putting up with the same thing for months. Every morning was already a routine for them, and I was not afraid of what they could do to me. They expected I wo
‘’she is mute,’’ The other maid made fun of me and burst into laughter. ‘’wash the clothes right away, slave!’’ she kicked me in the stomach one last time before leaving with the other maid, laughing at my predicament. I slowly rose from the ground and realized that I was not the only one in the wa
The woman who was supposed to be planning to have her baby lost everything because of someone’s greed. "Oh goddess, why does she smell this bad?" someone shouted. "How could she come here smelling like that?" I heard Alexa shout, and the maid nudged me on the shoulder. I raised my head to meet Ale
~ZEPHYR~I slowly opened my eyes and met with a blur. Where was I? How did I get there? My mind was foggy, and my body felt heavy, as if I had been sleeping for an eternity.And then, I was reminded of her and called out her name. ‘’Sapphire.’’ My hand trembled, and I tried to raise it, but it felt
‘’one of my men, a guard in the royal mansion, told me the truth about you and how the alpha king had planned to get rid of you. I tried to break in, but I couldn’t because of the tight security, and for three days, I waited for you, and then on the fourth day, I saw you getting dragged out in a car
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
