Dimitri’s pov

I stood at the edge of the crowd, my eyes fixed intently on Sapphire as she accepted the congratulations of the villagers. I had to admit, she looked stunning in her ceremonial attire, her long silver hair cascading down her back like a river of moonlight.

But I wasn't here to admire her beauty. I was here to make a point. And so, I took a deep breath and stepped forward, my movements deliberate and calculated.

As I emerged from the crowd, Sapphire's eyes flickered towards me, and for a moment, our gazes met. I could have sworn I saw a flash of recognition, of awareness, but then she looked away, pretending I didn't exist.

That drove me crazy. Who did she think she was, ignoring me like that? I was Dimitri, after all. I was a force to be reckoned with.

But I kept my cool, my expression neutral. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of seeing me react. Instead, I made my way through the crowd, my eyes fixed on Sapphire.

I approached Sapphire, my eyes locked on hers. "Con

  • Entwined Fate: I want you back ex-mate.   Chapter 27

    Sapphire’s povI walked into the mansion, my mind still reeling from the conversation I had with Dimitri. I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was hiding something, that there was more to his words than met the eye.As I made my way to my room, I noticed Mary, one of the servants, talking to herself and looking very worried. She was pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace, her hands clasped together in front of her."Mary?" I asked, trying to keep my voice soft so as not to startle her.She spun around, her eyes wide with fear. "Yes, miss!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling.I walked over to her, concern etched on my face. "What's wrong, Mary? You look like you've seen a ghost."Mary's eyes darted around the room, her face pale with worry. "Oh, it's nothing, miss, I'm fine," she stammered, trying to brush off my concerns.But I wasn't buying it. I had known Mary for a long time, and I could tell when she was hiding something. "Are you sure, you seem startled earlier," I p

    Larrisa’s povI stood my ground, my eyes locked on Dimitri's. "I'm not going home with you, Dimitri.” I said, my voice firm and determined.Dimitri's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing. "What do you mean you're not going home with me? You don't have a choice, Larissa. We are married!" He growled.I shook my head, my voice rising. "I don't care! We have been in an awful marriage ever since you married me. Are you seriously not seeing it?" I spat out, the words just bubbling out of me. There was nothing under the moon that could have held that back in that moment.Dimitri's face twisted in anger, but I could see the faintest glimmer of uncertainty in his eyes. "You... I... " he stuttered.I cut him off, my words pouring out in a rush. "There's nothing right! You don't love me."Dimitri's eyes flashed with anger, but I could see the truth in them. He didn't love me. He never had."I don't," he said finally, his voice cold and detached. "I don't love you."For some reason, Dimitri's

    Larrisa’s pov"How easy do you think it is to fake my own death?" I asked, watching Dimitri's reaction closely.Dimitri's eyes widened, and his entire posture shifted, as if he had been punched in the gut. "Fake your own death?" he repeated, his voice unsteady."What are you talking about, Larissa?" he asked, his eyes scanning mine as if searching for some hidden meaning.I smiled, a mischievous glint in my eye. "Exactly what you heard," I said, my voice dripping with determination. "I'm going to fake my own death. That's the only way I can get out of this hellhole."Dimitri's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "And how exactly are you going to do that?" he asked, his voice laced with doubt.I just smiled, enjoying the suspense. "You just wait and see, Dimitri," I said, as I called the footman over. "I need to get some things," I told him, my mind already racing with plans.As the footman scurried off to do my bidding, I turned back to Dimitri, a confident smile still plastered

    Sapphire’s povAs I lay in bed, reflecting on the past few days, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. The coronation ceremony had been a resounding success, and the pack had welcomed me with open arms. I had slipped into the role of alpha with ease, and the respect of my pack members was palpable.However, my father had been a different story altogether. He had been distant, almost detached, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was because he was struggling to let go of the reins. I pushed the thought aside, hoping that with time, he would come to terms with the new dynamics.Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, a soft knock at the door broke the silence. "Yes?" I called out, wondering who could be visiting at such a late hour."It's me, Sapphire," my father's voice replied from the other side of the door. "May I come in?"I sat up straight, adjusting my nightgown as I replied, "Yes, please come in."The door creaked open, and my father stepped inside

    Sapphire’s pov The sound of my father's voice echoed through the hallway, his words carrying a sense of urgency and excitement. "Arrange the banners well, please!" he yelled to one of the decorators.I watched from the window as the decorators scurried about, hanging colorful banners and streamers from the balconies and walls. My father had been busy all day, preparing for the arrival of his precious daughter, Larissa.The entire spectacle made me feel awful, a knot of anxiety twisting in the pit of my stomach. But I knew I had to put my best foot forward, to pretend that everything was fine, even when it wasn't.I turned away from the window and resumed my conversation with Mary, trying to distract myself from the impending arrival of Larissa and her husband, Dimitri. But before long, the sound of carriages arriving outside interrupted our conversation.I quickly stepped out into the hallway, my father right behind me. We made our way to the entrance, where the carriage had come to

    Sapphire’s povI let out a deep sigh of relief as I settled into my bed, feeling the weight of the evening's events slowly lifting off my shoulders. Dinner had been a trial by fire, a delicate balancing act of tension and deception.I had managed to navigate it, barely, but the effort had left me drained. I slipped off my dress, exchanging it for the soft comfort of my sleeping gown.As I fell onto the bed, I couldn't help but think that this had to be one of the toughest things I'd ever done. The tension, the lies, the constant need to be on guard...it was exhausting.Just as I was starting to drift off, I heard a knock at the door. "Yes, who is it?" I asked, my voice tired."It's me, Sapphire," my father's voice replied.I hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes, please come in."My father entered, his expression a mixture of concern and approval. "You did well today, Sapphire. For most of the time, at least."I felt a twinge of guilt, knowing that I had struggled to maintain

    Sapphires povDimitri leaned against the counter, a smirk playing on his lips as he took another gulp of water. “You know I’m the lycan king, right? I could smell you from a mile away.” His gaze remained fixed on the cup, not even bothering to look in my direction. My heart raced at his words—how did he know? When did he realize? With a resigned sigh, I stepped out from behind the door, feeling the weight of his presence.“If you knew I was there, then why didn’t you say so sooner? You had to make me feel dumb?” I shot back, my voice laced with a playful cunning as I approached him.“Cause I liked how cute you think you can hide from me.” Really? I raised an eyebrow, intrigued, as I closed the distance between us, stopping just inches away. I could feel his heartbeat, the intoxicating scent of him filling the air. A smile crept onto my face as I remembered my earlier thirst. I turned to pour some water into the cup, finally acknowledging my own needs. Taking a sip, I moved away fro

    Sapphire’s povThe next day, I woke up with a sense of determination. I was going to do everything in my power to avoid Dimitri and anything that had to do with him. After a quick breakfast, I gathered my things, ready to head out to the village for some work that needed my attention. Just as I reached the door, my father called out to me, his voice echoing with authority.“Is everything okay, Father?” I asked, halting mid-step, my heart racing slightly at the unexpected interruption.“I have some matters to discuss with your sister,” he replied, his tone serious. “So why don’t you take Dimitri for your morning patrol?”My stomach churned at the mention of his name. “Uhm, Father, I’m sure the Lycan King won’t want to see some villagers,” I protested, trying to mask the rising panic within me.But before I could finish my thought, Dimitri’s voice cut through the air, smooth and confident. “No, I would actually love to come.”I felt heat rush to my cheeks, a mix of frustration and embar

  • Entwined Fate: I want you back ex-mate.   Chapter 38

    Sapphire’s povAfter calming the pack, Dad, Dimitri, and I headed inside, our discomfort palpable. We gathered around the fireplace, the crackling flames casting flickering shadows on our faces. Mary came in and set the fire, her eyes filled with sympathy."Who did it?" I asked in a hushed tone, my gaze fixed on the flames. My reaction was still raw, my emotions simmering just below the surface."Pardon me?" Father asked, his brow furrowed in confusion."Who started the fire, Father?" I pressed, my voice firm but controlled. "You must have known who it was."Sadly, we don't," Father replied, his expression somber."Well, are you trying every day to find out?" I asked, my frustration growing.Father sighed, his eyes tired. "Look, Sapphire, it's late. Finding the person won't bring your sister back, so let's just drop the issue.

    Sapphire’s pov“My sister is gone?”Dimitri's arm wrapped around me, holding me close as I trembled with shock and grief. Father's face was etched with sorrow, his eyes filled with tears."I'm so sorry, Sapphire," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I should have been able to save her."I shook my head, unable to speak. The weight of my loss was crushing me, making it hard to breathe. Dimitri's grip on me tightened, holding me upright.Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the night air. A group of riders emerged from the darkness, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames of our burning estate.One of the riders dismounted, rushing towards us.his face set in a grim expression."I'm so sorry," he said, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get you out of here, now. The fire is spreading fast.

    Sapphire’s povAfter my bath, Mary bid me goodnight and left, closing the door softly behind her. I slipped into my nightgown, my mind still reeling from the events of the day. What had the fortune teller meant, especially when she'd called Dimitri and me a couple? I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts. Taking a deep breath, I slowly drifted off to sleep.But my rest was short-lived. It felt like mere hours had passed before I stirred, groggily opening my eyes to find my room shrouded in a thick, eerie fog. I sat up with a start, my heart racing as I realized that my entire room was filled with smoke.I began coughing, my lungs burning from the smoke. Soon, screams echoed from outside, and I quickly stepped out into the chaos. Maids were running wildly, their faces panicked. I rushed to Father's room to rescue him, but he wasn't there.I turned to see the fire had already consumed part

    Sapphire’s povThe silence between us was thick, and Dimitri's expression was unreadable. It wasn't my place to ask what was on his mind, so I didn't."Is that all for the day?" he finally asked."No, actually," I replied. "We still have to see the village fortune teller.""Oh, a fortune teller," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "How interesting. Well, lead the way."The air felt lighter as we walked towards the fortune teller's home.“ so do you believe in fortune telling” I asked to cut the silence“ no I don’t, but it’s nice others do, I just don’t”Oh okay.. I actually don’t either” I lied I really doAs we approached the fortune teller's place, I couldn't shake the feeling that we
