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 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

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
Sapphire's POV."Get ready quick. We need to leave for the Packhouse before the royal guards would match all the way here to get you," She laughed, clearly wanting to put more fear and pressure in me so I'd back off but I will not. I do anything to see Aleric's spirit crushing into nothing while he watches me getting married to Professor Kaiser. "Ow!" I dashed my gaze to Aunt Karissa who I heard let out a painful cry. She gripped her tummy with moth hands while her face twisted in pain."Aunt!" I got up and fled to her side, supporting her as my face crumpled in cimfusion. "Aunt, what's wrong? What happened to you?" "I-i" she couldn't say out the words. The pain must've been so unbearable for her to speak "It's okay, keep calm, you'd be fine, Aunt." I whispered, leading her to my bed and she sat gradually on it but then let out a screeching cry as she unexpectedly fell on her knees."No, Sapphire. I c—can't." She cried balling herself on the floor. "I can't bear it, Sapphire." A te
Sapphire's POV.A week had past on, and i had just a day left to be wedded to Professor Kaiser. Aleric had made sure to plan out the whole wedding event in a heartbeat. The engagement and marriage ceremony were both going to be happening tomorrow and I felt pale as hell.I sat on a stool before my dressing table as I combed through my hair with a brush in my bedroom. All brides were meant to be happy and excited about their weddings, right? But mine was different. I wasn't excited for this wedding, instead I felt an heavyweight of dread in my chest towards this marriage. I had always wished and dreamed to get married to Mr. Right. I prayed to get married to someone I love and who would love me back, give me a princess treatment like my dad always did to me and worships the ground I walk on the way my dad did to my mom. They were truly a lovely pair. That had always been what I wished to have in my life but here I was, getting my mind made up to let this marriage happen and all for
Sapphire's POV.I glared hard at the camera as I spoke through my teeth. "So this thing had been in my room all the while? How and why did you do this, Aleric? I guess you put it here that night when you made those stupid, damned promises to me and I foolishly believed them! I even gave myself to you without second thoughts but what did you do in return, you bastard lier?!" I asked, seething."You did not only break that promise, you installed this nonsense in my room! A freaking camera all because of what reason, Aleric? Just to spy on me? To stalk me and know what I am up to? This is bullshit! This is a fucking bullshit and it shows how low you're willing to go just to have me wrapped up in your life even when I don't want to anything to do with you anymore! You're damned egoistic, Aleric! I always knew you as one but I never thought it could be up to this. Damn you!" I spat. Everything I said and was happening began making my head ache badly. It became so damned excruciating and
Sapphire's POV.I clearly remember when she said changing things before it could happen would have a bad impact on nature. That everything that we see would happen at its own destined time. If anything was done to change it then it's equal to chaos and destructions. I couldn't let the life of the people around me to be ruined. I needed to be quiet about the things I see, or Perhaps I was blessed with a magic that could let me control nature... "That's enough explanation for now, Sapphire needs to get some rest. She seem to be having an excruciating head ache that worsens whenever she speaks." Aunt Karissa said, getting up from my bed as she went to the drawer beside my bed, pulled it out, scrambled for some drugs and returned to me. "Have this, it should help with your headache." She said, handing the pills to me before pouring out a glass of water after I had taken them from her palm."Let's go, you can come check on her again tomorrow." Aunt Karissa said to Lisa who frowned in disp
Sapphire's POV."Arghhh!!!" I screamed again, gripping my hair tightly in a futile attempt to silence the deafening siren that pierced my eardrums. I felt sprinkles of liquid being splashed on my face with a distant call of my name repeatedly yet it was hard for me to pry my eyes open till I felt a heavy flood of liquid pouring over my face and I sprang up, screaming, "Make it stop!" I cried, clutching a hand full of my hair. "Make it stop, please, make it stop, I beg of you." Someone kept tapping on my face constantly, "Sapphire Sapphire Sapphire," I heard my name being called as my face was tapped. The person was trying to wake me up but I didn't know how to until I felt a hard slap landed across my face and I sprang up due to the physical pain.I held my reddened and hurting cheeks, tears rolling down my cheeks as I stared at two blurry people before me. Was it because I was just waking up or because of the tears in my eyes? I didn't know. But what I knew wa
