Sapphire Walter POV "Mom, are you almost done? Dad and I have been waiting for over ten minutes! Please hurry!" I called out, excitement bubbling in my stomach."I'm on my way, honey! Just grabbing my purse," she replied from upstairs, her voice carrying down to us.I could hear my dad chuckle from the driver's seat, shaking his head with a smile. "Your mom hasn’t changed at all, Sapphire. Always takes her time, but she’s just as beautiful as the first day I met her."I giggled, my cheeks warming at his words. My dad has always adored my mom, showering her with compliments that never fail to make me smile.Sometimes, I dream of finding a love like that—someone who cherishes me the way my dad cherishes my mom. A love that lasts forever, a ride-or-die kind of love.But I remind myself that I’m just a teenager who recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon. Romance can wait; I have to focus on making my parents proud. Although I craved romance like every other te
Sapphire Walter POV. Two Days Later.****"I'm so sorry for your loss, Miss Walters," A middle-aged man who introduced himself as a lawyer from the Bank gave his condolences to me as we sat in the center of my Dad's grand mansion. It's been two days since my parent's funeral, but the tears refused to dry off. I miss them; I miss my parents' love, their playful banter, and their laughter, which always lighted up the house. I miss them so much that living alone in such a huge house was an emotional torment to me. I wiped my tears with my palm, forcing a small smile to avoid seeming rude. "It’s fine, Sir," I managed to say, my voice hoarse from crying for the past two days. "Why are you here though?" I asked, puzzled to know why a bank lawyer was there."I’m afraid I have some difficult news which you might find hard to accept," he replied, his tone serious. "But I hope you have somewhere or at least someone you could stay with.""What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine living here on
Aleric Dolce POV.Speeding down the pavement of the campus, the hum of my bike was powerful beneath my thighs, its vibrating sound sending a surge of adrenalin through my veins as I raced onto campus. Instantly, an unusual sweet scent filled my nostrils, making a hard gulp run down my throat and my golden eyes glowed due to how inviting it smelt. I could feel my wolf getting excited, his reaction to the smell was more like a warning, a feeling that he would lose it if I didn't find the source of that sweet, addicting scent and claim her soon enough.I activated my senses, riding my bike faster as I sped onto campus, my mind completely forgetting that I was racing with my gangs previously as my only focus was on finding her. My Mate. Scanning the crowd of girls who were jumping at the sight of my biker gang zooming into campus; I didn't give a damn about the college girls like I did before cause what mattered most to me was to find her, and I was sure that she was present on campus.
Sapphire's POV. I got up from my desk, packed up my books, and was ready to make my way out of the classroom cause lectures were over when I suddenly heard a small voice chiming before my desk. "Hey, girl!" My gaze shot up in surprise cause no one had uttered a word to me throughout today; their gaze filled with loath and disgust, which made me silently wonder why they gave me such a disapproving look. The voice turned out to belong to the blonde girl who had been taken for granted earlier today by the Biker Devil. Yes, I nicknamed Aleric Dolce as the biker devil cause that was exactly who he was! "Hey, girl," I smiled blissfully, happy to find someone interested in speaking to me. "I hope you were not badly hurt earlier," I asked in concern while admiring her flawless skin, brown orbs, and shiny blonde hair. "Nah, it's fine," She waved it off with a bright smile. "Aleric seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of his bed cause on norms, he would usually have fun with
Aleric Dolce Pov.I kissed her rough and hard, pouring out my raging emotions into her blabbering lips as I struggled to stop myself. My wolf wasn't even helping matters because he was the reason behind my unexpected actions. The news of Sapphire talking to some random Wolf in the cafeteria got to me by my right-hand man. I didn't want to care about it, but to be honest; it didn't sit well with me. My possessive wolf instincts got the better of me as I became curious to know who my mate would be talking to, and that too in a cafeteria. Jealousy took over me as stormed into the cafeteria just to find the fucking rascal kissing my mate right before me! Anger boiled within me, and I did not think twice before throwing a hard-fisted hit on his filthy mouth and sending him off the table as he groaned in pain, but I was not done yet.I was furious cause how dare she let someone else kiss her? A lowly gamma at that! I pulled her face closer to mine with both of my hands, growing hungri
Sapphire's POV.I ran out of the cafeteria in tears, feeling violated after my first kiss was stolen away from me by the annoying biker devil! If only I had known that all these would have happened, then I would have turned down Lisa's treat to a cafeteria even though I knew that it was going to hurt her feelings if I did that, but at least it was much better that way cause look now... Cameron was badly injured and my first kiss was stolen.I had thought my first day of college would be quiet and peaceful, not knowing that coming here would result in all these. I ran as fast and far as my little legs could take me, tears pouring down my cheeks, but I wiped them off immediately after I saw Aunt Karissa's car from afar. I slowed down, taking up my time to get myself intact and to make sure she didn't notice that I was crying before I reached where her car was parked in the parking lot on campus. I did not want to get her worked up unnecessarily all because of what Aleric did to me,
Sapphire's POV.The following day, Aunt Karissa dropped me off at college before driving off to her fashion designing company which was known all over Lykoria as the KW Models.I walked into the college building while still on high alert just in case the Biker Devil came around out of the blue like he did yesterday.My amber eyes scanned through the crowd of laughing and chattering students.I guessed they might not be having class yet while some of them walked quickly to get into class before lectures would begin. Meanwhile, I was searching silently with my eyes to see if I'd catch sight of Lisa or Cameron among the crowd but I didn't see even their shadow.I hope she isn't mad at me for what happened. It's all Aleric's fault. He misunderstood Cameron's intentions and ended up hurting him badly. Nonetheless, Aleric has no right whatsoever to do what he did yesterday and he should apologize to Cameron for seeing things differently and reacting stupidly. But I know that that proud mot
Lisa's POV.On my way to my economics class, I heard a familiar meek voice call out my name sweetly and I was already sure who it was due to my high sense of hearing abilities as the Gamma daughter of the Lykoria pack that I was. I looked a little behind me cause I could not help it, and then I saw her. Sapphire waved at me excitedly, her beautifully amber eyes that attracted me to her on our first meeting and her small heart-shaped lips curling into an adorable smile, but I didn't want to speak to her. It was best if I avoided her, to stay away from the only human in Lykoria College, just like everyone else was doing after the serious warning my father, Gamma Lorenzo Herring of the Lykoria pack, gave to me and Cameron.So I ran as fast as I could away from her, not wanting to associate myself with Sapphire anymore for the sake of my brother and to also obey my father's words because my father had his eyes on me and Cameron at college after hearing what happened in the cafeteria.I
Sapphire's POV.As I sat on the swing, I recalled the whole truth I had overhead from the meeting room after the herbalist came and was tending to my aunt. Something about what I overheard while I was passing by made me pause in my tracks and I had to lean closer to the door to know what Lady Marinette's parents would say concerning the sudden calling off of Aleric's marriage to Lady Marinette. "You mean you're married to Kaiser's chosen mate?" I overheard Lady Marinette's mother's voice asking. "You heard me correctly." Aleric answered."Then who would get married to my daughter after what you did to her?" She demanded, her voice slowly rising. I pondered what she meant by that. What did Aleric do to her? "I don't know. It's not like I ever had anything to do with her in the first place. Am I right, Lady Marinette?" I heard Aleric asking with his usual nonchalance then he scoffed. "You can't say anything now, can you? Or do you plan on letting out your crocodile tears to earn
Aleric Dolce POV. "I will tell you. I mean, who else could it be if not the perfect, young, vibrant and trustworthy cousin of mine, Kaiser Dolce," I let out a low chuckle, amused by how great people saw Kaiser but never knew the real side of him as much as I did, including Sapphire who he was using as a pawn to get what he wants from me. "WHAT?!" They both exclaimed, shocked. "How could he want to kill us?" "Why do y'all look so surprised? Who else were you expecting it to be? Wasn't it Kaiser who informed you guys about what was happening in my bedroom that night two years ago?""He brought you guys all the way to my bedroom after instructing Marinette on what to do and how to feign victim to a rape allegation that I didn't commit while I was fast asleep because I was way too passed out from drinking that night that didn't know what was happening around me." I revealed and they were all beyond speechless. I expected it anyway, considering how clean, nice and highly they had always
Aleric Dolce POV. "A queen? I am not your queen, Aleric. I didn't want to be the queen or Luna to a dump pack of wolves' with zero sense of reasoning. Instruct them to open up the door or else!" I turned to her all of a sudden, "Or else what? You'd shout? Scream for help? Use your little powers on me? Tell me," I demanded and she reluctantly pressed her lips in a thin line as she balled her fingers at her sides. "Good, Remain quiet that way. Call your driver to bring your aunt to the Packhouse as soon as possible unless you want her dead before midnight. I can already sense that something bad will be happening soon, so save your breath and call the driver In order to prevent a funeral from happening soon." I ordered before turning forward to leave as I head in the direction of the meeting hall. **** Lady Marinette's parents of the nightcrawlers Pack were present in the meeting hall. They came immediately I had told them to come over for an important meeting concerning Marinette
Aleric Dolce POV. Sapphire quietly handed the marriage documents to me after signing them. Her face was as red and round as tomatoes and I was sure she was mad at me, she despises me in fact but I was doing it for her own good.I knew if she went ahead with the marriage and Keisar somehow finds out about the magical powers Sapphire possesses, he'd what to use it to his advantage and it might turn out to become more disastrous than we could ever think of.That's why I needed to change my plans. At first I wanted her to leave the pack, far away to where Kaiser would never think of but no! She has always been stubborn and nothing had changed about her in these past few years.I agree that I fucked up. At first, I brutally broke her heart after I had purposely made her fall in love with me, then after that engagement day and I saw her in the garden with kaiser, I was fully convinced that maybe she had found a new lover but I couldn't accept that Kaiser would be the one. I knew Kaiser was
Sapphire's POV.'Get married to him? How can I do that? I'd rather be married to someone I know nothing about than to be married to a heartless devil who can't keep promises and keeps breaking trusts.'I sneered, ignoring him as I responded to the driver. "Give me ten minutes, I will be right there. In the mean time, I will book down a flight to India. I believe the doctors there would know the cure." I muttered, opening the door to step out. "Where are you off to?" I heard him demand behind me but yet again, ignored him like he wasn't there as I swung the door open and walked out. "I am talking to you, Sapphire. You don't walk out on me!" He growled, pissed off by my attitude but who cares? I didn't, so he could go to hell for all I care.I turned to him, glaring. "You don't command me, Aleric, even though you are the alpha of the pack. And NO, I will never agree to get married to a devil. You heard me when I said I will arrange for Aunt Karissa to be flied out of here to where she
Morgana's POV:FIVE YEARS LATER………“Noah!” I called out, tying my hair back with a band.Where could he be? Suddenly, I bumped into someone. Looking up, I saw it was the cook in her white apron and cap. Sighing deeply, I asked, “Where is he? Please tell me you found him.”“I couldn’t find him, Ma'am,” She replied, her head hung low. “This house is huge; he could be anywhere. I had the maids search everywhere for him. We’ll find him soon, I promise.”“I hope so, Lola. Xavier is on his way back, and he hates it when his rest is disturbed.”“Don’t worry, ma'am. We’ll definitely find him before Sir returns, trust me…”“I found him!” Someone called out, and we hurried toward the voice.We entered the library and saw a maid standing by the door.“Where is he?” I asked.“Behind the third shelf,” She replied curtly. “You both can leave now,” I instructed. “And please shut the door behind you.”I moved behind the third shelf to find my sweet pie crouched down, his head hanging low.“What's
Sapphire's POV. "You'd need to learn more about your new found powers before trying to unleash them on others, okay, little duckling?" He said with a poke on my forehead that made me whimper as my brows immediately relaxed.. He had thumbed my head with his finger and it hurt me real bad that I can't help wincing as I frowned."What's wrong with you?! Why did you do that?" I complained, rubbing my forehead."To make you relax your ugly face because it made you look far worse than a ugly duckling, " he snickered. I sneered and tried shoving him away, "Get the fuck away from me before I scream, and when I scream, you wouldn't like the whispers, mockery, and gossips that would flare up around the pack house. So save yourself the humiliation now that I am still quiet! " I gritted, twisting my wrist in his grip as he pinned against the wall while i wriggled my waist and body but my body suddenly steeled when I felt his hands holding my waist on both sides, pulling me close to him.He gri
Sapphire's POV. He laughed, "You should know me better than asking me this, Sapphire. A devil will always be heartless in order to get what he wants and I want you to leave. You can either do this or keep on carrying your aunt to all the hospitals in Lykoria Pack until you finally take her corpse back home in a coffin," he said and I lost that last string of thread that was holding me back from unleashing my fury at Aleric who still had his back faced to me.A dark gloomy power blurred every sanity I had In my mind, over powering it with an urge, strength and power of magic I had never felt before. The powers spiralled through my veins and all over my body and I directed all that powers at the one person responsible for my rage as I subconsciously murmured a spell I never thought I knew, the words engraved in my gloomy, dark mind and the next thing I heard was a loud groan as Aleric crumbled to the ground, wrenching and groaning in pain as he clutched onto his chest. "Arghhh!!!" H
Sapphire's POV. As I stood frozen, a deep, velvety voice pierced the air, "What's the topic all about here, gossipmongers?" I froze instantly. His gaze swept over me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. "And where are you heading to, little duckling?" he asked, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my disheveled appearance.I was a total mess in appearance after all my frantic search for an hospital that will take in Aunt Karissa. There's one else but this asshole standing before me that I hold responsible for everything that's going wrong in my life. He's such a bad luck. I stuttered, my eyes wide with a mix of fear and anger. "I-I..." My voice trailed off as he tilted his head, awaiting my response.'Why am I scared? I was pretty mad a while ago, right? I promised to lash out at him on my way here because of what he did, but then, he is right before me and I should be doing what I made up my mind for, yet I couldn't. What has he done to me? No no. I can't be this s
