I walk shakily down the hall my legs trembling with every step. I stop for a moment to compose myself by taking a deep breath.
I feel a hand clasp my shoulder and I jump turning to face person. I turn around and I am faced with Geoffrey's bright green eyes boring into my own.
He looks down at me and laughs, “What has got you so shaken? Oh, let me guess you finally punched the wrong person and now father is mad at you,” Geoffrey guesses in a teasing manor.
I roll my eyes, “Did you interrupt my day simply to say tha
Getting out of the tub, I dress in a white drawstring shirt and brown leather pants. Tucking the papers back into my bra, I leave the room and head to Gregory's office. I walk quietly through the halls once again checking my surroundings to make sure I am not being followed. Standing at the office door, I feel a thrill of graffitied excitement as I knock on the door. "Come in." Gregory's voice calls out. Walking in I seeEvalenestanding in front of his desk, talking in a hushed voice.
Flavius For two days now Neron and I have been asking around the tavern we frequent, to see if anyone knows anything concerning the commander's death. So far, I have come up empty-handed. The city doesn’t usually startcominto life until first light. So, it could be that no one was awake during the time the commander was killed.What's Ellie going to do if we have no useful information? What if I don't see her again? Ever since I've seen her in human form,I can’t seem to get her out of my mind. Everything about her draws me in. &nb
Nora I watch anxiously from my window as the sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever onwards into the rich blue. It is a brilliant flower that is to warm our days, an invitation to a new start, one I worry about. For two days I have watched the sunrise and fall with no news from Flavius and Neron. I am beginning to think that maybe it was not right of me to involve outsiders in my matters. After all my request has done nothing but disrupt Flavius’s life.Would they have been better living in ignorant bliss? Maybe Daniel was right, I should not have told them, they very well could have betrayed us. At the thoug
I wake up early the next morning heading quickly out the castle to meet Flavius and Neron at the gates. Reaching thegates,I stand fidgeting impatiently until I finally see them, covered with the vibrant glow of the early morning sun. My eyes areimmediatelydrawn to Flavius, today his dark curls are hanging loosely on his shoulders. He is wearing brown leather pants with a white open-collared shirt tucked into them. I cannot help but admire the way his shirt strains against his body with every step. As he gets closer, I notice a sword, wrapped in a thick brown cloth attached to his back. In a moment of excitement, I rush to meet them halfway practically skipping as I walk. I stand mere inches from Flavius, his body heat warming me to my very core. Letting out a shaky breath, I look up into his
I release Daniel lightly shoving him towards where Flavius andNeronare standing. "Of course," I respond, with a wicked smile. Gregory leaves the wooden chair, and I take his place. "You see, I am not as nice as the king, so I will only give you one chance, answer the question,” I demand Again, the man sneers, about to spit once more. But before he ever has the chance to, I clasp his left hand. Grabbing his pointer finge
Startled at my new revelation, I slowly peel myself from Flavius. Our breath comes out in short bouts as we stare into each other's eyes. "You have no idea how long I have waited for this," I say, my hands still buried in his hair, lightly stroking. "How long exactly have you been waiting to kiss me," he asks, chuckling. "I am not speaking of the kiss, what I mean is I have waited for you, my mate, a long time." "Mate?"
The dining hall is filled to the brim with people, some I recognize, others I do not. Slumping in my seat next to Geoffrey, I await Gregory's announcement. After Flavius went home, Gregory called for a late dinner meeting. For what, I am not sure. Gregory makes a grand entrance, coming in through the main doors, Evalene hanging off his arm. Her blond hair is done up in tight curls hanging mostly loose, a silver crown with glittering diamonds placed atop her head. Gregory is dressed in long golden robes, his long silver hair pulled back into a half ponytail, with a golden crown placed neatly on his head. Everyone at the table stands to greet their king and queen. I am quick to follow, caugh
Flavius I wake up from a restless sleep, my body aching with drowsiness. My mind has been storming with questions since yesterday. Questions I'm not even sure I want to know the answer to. Since the moment Ellie walked into my life, things have been moving at lightning speed, and I'm not sure how to handle everything. Climbing out of bed, I get clothed, but instead of heading out to the lake where I've been meeting Ellie in the mornings, I decide to meet Neron at the shop early. It's not that I don't want to face her, I'm simply too overwhelmed with everything that's happened. I need some time to think. It was only but a little over a week ago that I was just a regular blac
