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
~SAPPHIRE~ "This is going to get us killed!" Cypher groaned in frustration as we watched Aria dragging her feet along the forest floor. "Can’t you move a bit faster?" he muttered. I turned to see Aria struggling to walk in the black boots Cypher had picked out, claiming they wouldn’t attract atten
"Oh, Goddess!" Cypher lay on the ground, staring up at the sky. "What do I do now?" "Don’t worry," I assured him. "A little rest, and we’ll be stronger than you think." He rolled his eyes at me but got back up. "While you two rest, I’ll scout ahead and see how far it is to the temple without shift
~SAPPHIRE~ ''Wakey, wakey,” someone tapped me on the shoulder, and my eyes fluttered open to the light above my head. I blinked a few times before adjusting to the brightness, then heard Aria screaming beside me. Her screams grew louder as she struggled against the man holding her. At first, my vi
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
