Sapphire's POV.I felt like I was suffocating as Aleric's words cut deep. "No, you can't mean that," I whispered, my voice trembling. "You love me. You have to. I even got us a locket. See?" I showed him the silver heart shaped locket I hid in my palm as I pried my palm open but Aleric's expression remained cold."I don't love you, Sapphire," he groaned, his grip on his motorcycle's throttle tightening. "I don't love you and you need to get those fantasies out of your head. It's all an illusion you portrayed in your head. Everything I did for you was out of kindness and not love. So you better accept that simple truth and move on with your life without me being there to save your ass every time." Aleric said.I watched him put on his helmet and sped off, leaving me engulfed in dust and smoke. I stood there, staring into the distance as he vanished from my vision, my hand subconsciously shaking as I held the locket In my palm. A tear rolled down my cheek as I stood alone, the weight o
Sapphire's POV."I hope you brought the ball gown just as I told you to," She said, walking up to me with a make up brush in hand. She was also the one doing the make over on the Alpha King's fiancee.I nodded, "Yes, Aunt. I brought it along. It's in the car but it was too heavy for me to bring in so she instructed two of the Pack's maidens to bring it in," I gestured to the middle aged lady who was the head of all the maids in the pack house. Immediately I finished speaking, two young ladies walked in through the opened door, carrying the beautiful ball dress into the room."Here it is!" I exclaimed, excited to see the dress on the body of the Alpha king's fiancee because I, Lisa and Aunt karissa had worked hard in bringing the dress to life from an ordinary sketch that was made into a stunning, glittering ball gown with exceptional designs on it."That's so beautiful," I heard a soft voice pur in compliment of our hard work and I twirled to where it came from. Seated at the dressing
Sapphire's POV.He continued, his voice full of pride, “My son has far exceeded my expectations, and I am honored to bring to the stage the new Alpha King of our Pack, who will be getting engaged today to the most beautiful young lady, the Alpha's daughter of the Night Crawlers Pack, and my son’s future wife—Lady Marinette!” The spotlight shifted to a couple making their way onto the stage, their arms wrapped around each other in an intimate, almost romantic embrace.There they were: Lady Marinette and the Alpha King—Aleric. I stood frozen, unable to process what was happening.'Aleric was the current Alpha of the Pack? And he was about to get engaged to Lady Marinette?' My mind raced, the shock sinking deep into my bones. I couldn’t make sense of it.'Why didn't he tell me?' The thought was like a jolt. 'Why didn’t he tell me he was from the Royal Family and would one day lead the Pack? Why didn’t he tell me the truth about who he was?' The realization hit me like a tidal wave, and b
Sapphire's POV. My breath seized at the mention of my name and that all too familiar voice I've gotten used to over time. Slowly raising my gaze up to the owner of that familiar voice, my eyes widened to see my professor standing before me with a thin smile hanging on his lips as he wiped away my tears. "Professor Kaiser?" I muttered inaudibly but he heard it as his smile grew wider. "What are you doing here at the Packhouse?" He chuckled, "what else if not attending the same asshole's engagement who had broken your heart? " I blinked repeatedly, not understanding how he found out about what happened between Aleric and I but then it made sense that he must have heard about it from the rumors that were spreading around college. "Here, you can keep this," he handed me his hankie and I hesitantly accepted it. "Th-thank you," I murmured in a stutter and he took a seat beside me on the swing without my consent. "No need to thank me, Sapphire. You know you shouldn't waste thos
Sapphire's POV.I ran back into the ballroom where I sighted Aunt Karissa's gaze scanning worriedly around the place. She looked disturbed. The moment her gaze met mine, a look of relief washed over her features as she sprinted up to me. She grabbed my arms. "Where have you been, Phire? I thought you said you wanted to be in the ballroom to watch the engagement ceremony, so why did you go off?" She scolded and my gaze dropped to my feet."I am sorry, Aunt," I muttered. "I felt the need to get some ventilation because I was suffocating in here. That's why I had to go into the garden," I whispered, unable to look into her eyes because half of what I said was a lie.It was a truth that I went to the garden for some fresh air because I was suffocating but it wasn't really due to lack of air, it was because I felt my heart breaking into pieces once again and I couldn't watch Aleric getting engaged to someone else after everything we had together, it felt so fucking unbearable to watch so
Sapphire's POV.By the time we got home and I went into my bedroom, I found Lisa seated on my bed. She seemed to be lost in deep thoughts as she subconsciously scribbled on her notebook.I walked in and placed my bag on the bedside table but she was yet to notice my presence. She looked so pale and her hair needed to get done in a saloon. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" I asked, sitting beside her on the edge of the bed and she suddenly bolted like she had been snapped out of her lost thoughts with her eyes opened."When did you get in?" She breathed, picking up her notebook that had fallen on the floor."Erm, few seconds ago? But definitely not up to a minute." I answered with a gentle smile that slowly turned into concern. "But what's wrong with you? You look pale and unhealthy, like something's really bothering your mind and it's deeply affecting your wellbeing, Lisa. I've been noticing this for a while but I decided to keep quiet. But I can't anymore."She sighed, a forced sm
Sapphire's POV.His face turned really sour."It's painful, isn't it?" I chuckled, walking up to him with my arms folded across my chest. "That's how I felt when you—" "Enough!" He growled, frightening me as I took a step back away from him. He threw the cheque at my face and I gasped at his action, "Take this cheque, pack your things and leave this Pack if you don't want to see the other side of me, Sapphire!" He threatened. He pointed to the cheque that fell lightly like a feather on the tiled floor as he added, "Right there is more than a hundred thousand US dollars on the floor. It should be enough for you to restart your life elsewhere and make a name for yourself. But the last thing I want to do is seeing you and that THING you call your lover together again! I've warned you, Sapphire, so it's best for you to heed to my warnings." I laughed, a bitter smile playing on my lips as I took a step closer to him and I asked. "What do you take me for, Aleric? A slut? A Gold digger t
Sapphire's POV. The next morning, by the time I woke up, I found myself stark naked under the sheets but the previous wild night we had together never left my mind as I smiled softly with my cheeks all tainted red.My first night was taken by the man I had always yearned for it all felt like heaven on earth whenever I remember the painful but sweet feeling that sent an adrenaline of pleasures through my whole body as I convulsed before blacking out, feeling tired. The smile I had on my lips grew wider as I turned to the other side of the bed, planning on kissing him a Good Morning on his lips but when I checked, Aleric was— "He is gone?" I thought aloud, my gaze scanning the whole room. It felt like a dream but his touch, the kiss, the promises he made in my ear— I knew it was all real. I sat up on my bed, my back against the headboard, "It couldn't be a dream," I whispered, restlessly raking my hands through my hair. "It just can't be! He was here, I am sure I saw him. I felt and
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
Sapphire's POV. 'Dang! I am in the future? Did I fucking just walk past time into the future? Woah!!!" I was so shocked but it also felt damned amazing to be able to walk past time and see what the future holds for us.I returned my gaze back to the people who had walked past me and noticed something so similar about them and it reminded me of the one person I had to invoke this vision. They all had white hair and red eyes. They were..."Vampires?" I muttered and it began making sense why they were feasting on that thing. They didn't even bother to hide their eye color and I believe it's because they're in their castle where they didn't have to hide away themselves and the truth of them being vampires. Then I saw that after they had all settled on their supposed chairs at the dinning, the one at the head of the table was yet to be occupied and they all seem to be awaiting the one owner of it. It took a long time before I began hearing loud excited voices coming from outside the hall
Sapphire's POV."What I mean is that, since your mom fell in love and got married to your father, Roberto Walters, we all thought her gift had been seized and wouldn't be given to any child that's given birth by olivia and her generations. Yet, the gods made you an exception. You've been blessed, Sapphire, " she whispered, her smile stretching up to her eyes. She was proud of me, pinching my cheeks.I pulled her hand down from my face, my face still twisted in deep confusion, "What gods? How do you mean? I am not understanding a single word you say, Aunt. Please go straight to the point." "Okay, you see we are from a sacred bloodline of seers and magician's, including your mother, Olivia." She said and my eyes zeroed in disbelief."My mother? She's from a family of seers and magician's?" I gasped. I had never thought my mom had such family. I thought we were mere humans. Jeez! "Yes, and your mother especially, was granted the power to have these two abilities all at once while mine
Sapphire's POV. ****When I returned home, Aunt Karissa was not yet back from work and I didn't call her line because I guessed she must must have been busy with work.For some reasons, that vision I saw hunted me so damned bad. I still felt the anguish, fear, terror, horror and freaking pain in my bones! I couldn't get a rest not to talk of a sleep when I laid on my bed because my mind kept drifting back to that vision I saw.It felt too real, like it was a dream but was definitely going to become a reality.Damnit that I can't lie to myself! I felt petrified. Why did it feel like Aleric was going to die anytime soon? If he was going to be dead, why was I feeling scared for him? Shouldn't I be happy that that person who hurt me so bad was going to serve his punishment for it? Who was that man in that black cloak? Why do I have a feeling that it might be Professor Kaiser? The height, frame, and voice sounded so much like him. Or was I imagining things?God, I felt overwhelmed with
Sapphire's POV."I don't know. I am not sure if I am ready for all these to be honest with you." I said sincerely. "You have to if you're really going to make Aleric pay for all his deeds. And don't worry, we can get a divorce any time you want to, hmm?" He coaxed. I sighed deeply, before bobbing my head slowly."Okay, so it's a deal." I stretched forth my hand over the table and he accepted."Deal," he said with a smile but I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. Vengeance, hate, scheming, and everything else just doesn't seem like me. This wasn't me but I was compelled to become who I wasn't all because of Aleric!'You have to do this, Sapphire,' I chanted in my head. 'He deserves to feel the pains you felt. He deserves it all!"As I cradled Aleric in my arms, a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips onto his white shirt, staining it crimson. Tears streamed down my face, and my body trembled with fear and terror.I gazed into his eyes, watching in anguish as the l
Sapphire's POV. "Yes, I am. Sorry I got distracted by something," he finally responded and I breathed in relief."No problem but did you hear what I said?" I asked, clenching my fingers nervously as I anticipated his response."Yes, I did. And it's fine to cancel the engagement as long as we keep being good friends. You don't need to worry about anything," I could literally see him smiling tenderly from just hearing his voice that I began wondering why everyone keeps saying he was a bad guy..."Yes, we'll keep being good friends as long as you don't break my trust the same way the bastard did. I wouldn't forgive either of you if you do the same thing your cousin did to me. Also," my voice became calm and gentle. "Thank you for everything. I really appreciate all your help and concerns." "It's nothing. Anything for a friend. Just call on me and I will be right there in a jiffy," He said and I chuckled."Okay, I surely will," I laughed while shaking my head as I ended the line. I st
Sapphire's POV. "You'd think you know him until you start to see his true colors. He is like a chameleon, Sapphire. They change colors to suit their situations. Kaiser Dolce is clearly using you against Alpha Aleric Dolce!" She said and I snapped. "In what way? In what fucking way is he using me against Aleric? He is trying to help me, to help me fight the battles I don't know how to, yet you say he doesn't have my best interest at heart?" I scoffed with a sneer on my lips as I slowly stepped back. "You're wrong, Aunt. That isn't true. And as for this engagement, I am doing it. I must make him experience the same pain I felt that day when I watched him get married to Lady Marinette." I decided, turning on my heels and I went upstairs to my room. I can't let him feel important. He has no right whatsoever to dictate to what I should and shouldn't do. He has absolutely no right at all! I slammed my door behind me once I got in my bedroom and I slumped tiredly to the floor, tears r
