~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
Her eyes widened, and she crawled toward me, clutching my legs. “Please… not my son. Kill me now so I won’t have to witness it.” “Oh, you’ll witness it. It’s the best kind of pain, the kind you’ll never forget!” I said, kicking her hands away. “Dying isn’t an option for you, Muna.” The masked man
~ZEPHYR~I adjusted my bow tie for what felt like the hundredth time as we arrived at the front of the city hall for the coronation of the alpha king’s son. We were early before any guests arrived, and that was to get everything set on time. On the long drive to the hall, all I had in my head were t
‘’The Alpha king has arrived!’’ I frowned and clenched my fists beside me as he walked in, accompanied by royal guards. Then, my eyes locked on the familiar face standing behind him. Dane. ‘’That bastard,’’ Silver groaned through the mind link. ‘’I can’t wait to get rid of him!’’ he said through
~ZEPHYR~I watched in awe as Cypher cut through the last men in black and sat down in one of the chairs, casually licking the tip of his sword covered in the blood of the men he had fought against. Sometimes, I wondered how powerful and ruthless my brother truly was. His actions often left me quest
‘’Please!’’ The Luna Queen fell on her knees as she begged. ‘’Leave my son out of this!’’ ‘’shut up, woman!’’ Cypher yelled at her and then turned back to the alpha king. ‘’ I was only a little boy; my father and grandfather trusted you as their own, but because of your greed and the greed of the f
The alpha king and the luna queen both screamed at the same time as they rushed towards Andrew, who was writhing in pain on the ground. ‘’please call an ambulance1’’ The luna Queen begged. ‘’we will give up the throne!’’ ‘’what are you saying?’’The alpha king shouted at her, clearly showing no remo
~SAPPHIRE~ My eyes met with Zephyr’s as I walked in, casting a smile at him. When I reached his side, I stared at him briefly before turning back to Dane, who still had not gotten rid of his greedy attitude. ‘’What is this I heard about you killing everyone. You fool!’’ I screamed at him. ‘’You
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
