Tristan gasped, his blood splattering on my face. “I...” he tried to speak, but he slumped to the ground, dead as he should have been a long time ago.Cypher clapped and patted me on the back. “Well done, Zephyr, you’ve killed your first enemy the right way.”I stood up and wiped the blood off my fa
“Right on it,” the driver responded, speeding forward. After a few minutes, we finally took the right turn, arriving at the front of an old inn built by the former Alpha for travelers who wished to stay at the pack. Even though the building was old, it still maintained its homely look. “This is the
~ZEPHYR~ I melted into Zephyr’s embrace, resting my head on his broad shoulder while listening to his heartbeat. Tears welled in my eyes as I looked up to stare into his eyes again, but I couldn’t help smiling. “I missed you so much,” I murmured against his neck. “Promise me we’ll never be apart a
Cypher groaned and stood up. “That woman,” he sighed and headed out without saying a word. We laughed again as we watched him walk out. I felt a surge of happiness rush through me as I listened to everyone laugh again. “He doesn’t like me,” Aria sighed. “Don’t worry, Cypher is always like that.
~DANE~“I have to see the Alpha King right away!” I shouted to the royal guard at the entrance as soon as I arrived at the royal mansion. The royal guard gave me a questioning look, waiting for what I wanted to say to the King, but I had no time. “Where is the king?” I shouted at him, but he stood t
“How could he still be alive? Did you plan all this to get on my nerves?” the Alpha King demanded. I angrily kicked the door and yelled at him. “Don’t you understand anything I’m telling you right now?” The Alpha King growled at me, probably to show his authority over me, but he had no idea I wasn
SAPPHIRE“Great!” Zephyr clapped as I swung the sword to my right one last time before dropping it to the ground, signaling the end of my training for the day.“How was it?” he asked, handing me a towel. I wiped the sweat from my face and looked at him. “Do you think I still have what it takes to fi
“That doesn’t mean we should send anyone on a suicide mission!” Zephyr argued.“Suicide mission?” Cypher shouted back. “Do you think I’d put any of you in that position?” He sighed and turned toward the entrance. “That’s the problem with all of you. Every time I suggest something, you think I’ve los
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
