“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 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 povAll my life, I've been haunted by one nightmare : my mother's death. As if that wasn't enough, the Moon Goddess decided Larisa deserved the perfect mate while I get the honour of getting every floor in the packhouse. Lucky me.I'm what people would call the classic Cinderella — work like a slave, forced to live in my sister's shadow, watch and sulk in my little corner as my sister gets showered with love, and act invisible around everyone in the pack. My life was going nowhere. Everything was out of reach — happiness, love, joy. 10 years into this life of mine and I was beginning to think I was cursed. While polishing the marble floor, I overheard 2 maids whisper to each other. The middle-aged blonde among them twirled her hair in her finger. “Diana, the mating ceremony is in 2 days.” Her companion, a younger brunette, gasped. “Oh my Goddess, Catherine, you're right. Everyone’s going and I absolutely have nothing to wear.”“After tonight's shift, let's go to the dr

Sapphire's povI woke up in a bed that wasn't mine, next to a man who looked like he'd rather bite my head than kiss me.“Who are you!” He demanded.“Who are you?” I asked, pulling the sheets to my chest. “What's that supposed to mean? You're the one in my room!” He barked, sitting up on the velvet sheets. “What?” My forehead throbbed as I tried to remember what happened last night but my mind was blank. I was just as confused as he was.The man grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. That was when it hit me. His scent — sandalwood and hint of cinnamon. Was he my - -I had barely completed my sentence before he gave me a shove and I fell from the bed to the floor. “Get dressed and get the hell out of here.” The stranger growled at me.I gasped in shock. What kind of gentleman treats a lady like this?“Marcus!” He called out in a loud voice.The mahogany double doors parted and a middle-aged man strolled in. “Yes, Your Majesty. You summoned me.” The man, I assume is Marcus, said with

Sapphire's pov You would think being married to the Lycan King would come with perks. Turns out it doesn't. I told myself I didn't care who my fated mate was or what he looked like. I told myself all I wanted was freedom. I prayed to the Moon Goddess for love and freedom and she gave me wrath and chains in return.Five months into our marriage, Dimitri started cheating on me. “Cheating” didn't mean him getting mistresses. It was customary for Alpha’s and King's to have as many mistresses as they wished while married. No one complained about it. But I did. Dimitri didn't take any other woman as his mistress. He chose my sister. More like she chose him.How did I discover his ‘infidelity?’It began two weeks ago when Larisa visited. She had come under the guise that father insisted she check up on me to see if I was with child. What a caring father he was.It was cloudy on Sunday morning when she arrived. It felt like the Moon Goddess was giving me a sign, warning, a reminder that I

Sapphire's povNothing says “happy birthday” like waking up in chains while your husband frolics with his mistress.Never had I imagined my twentieth birthday would begin with humiliation — Dimitri publicly snubbing me because Larisa said I “insulted” her and him firing Lydia because she was “crossing a line.” A loud throbbing sound caught my attention and I looked up to the ceiling. Dimitri was at it again. This time with a new mistress.Tears pooled at the ends of my eyes as a soul piercing scream escaped my lips. How could Dimitri do this? How could he do this to me? Humiliation wasn't enough. Now, this? Their laughter echoed through the walls and I pulled at the chains. The more I struggled, the more the metal cut into my wrist. “Aargh!” I winced in pain. The laughter from before returned and this time it was louder, almost as if Dimitri and his mistress were mocking me.Drop. Drip.Red crimson dropped from my wrist and stained the white bedsheets. At the sight of my own bloo

Sapphire’s povI guess the saying is true. When you fail to learn from history then you’re bound to repeat it. The moon goddess has given me another chance to learn from history and this time, I won’t make the same mistake I did last time. I watched as Larissa came to me like clock work, drinks in hand . I was ready to confront and strangle her so hard but I realized that would be too easy. Opportunities like this only come once and I’m not going to waste it . As I watched, Larissa made her way towards me, a smug smile plastered on her face. I felt a surge of anger, but I pushed it down, determined to play it cool.I took a deep breath and pretended not to see her, walking straight towards her with a careless air. The drinks in her hand spilled all over her dress as we collided."Oh no, I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, trying to sound as sincere as possible. "I'm such a clumsy fool!"Larissa's face turned red with rage as she stared at the stains on her dress. "You fucking twat, can't yo

Sapphire’s povAs I descended the stairs, the soft rustle of my mother's gown echoed through the hallway. I had chosen to wear it tonight, not just for sentimental reasons, but also to remind myself of the strength and resilience that had been passed down to me.The gown was a soft, silken confection that draped elegantly across my body. Its gentle hue, a pale moonlit blue, seemed to shimmer in the candlelight, casting a subtle glow across my skin.My eyes scanned the room, taking in the sea of faces. Larissa was holding court, collecting compliments from her friends and acquaintances like a queen accepting tributes. I rolled my eyes, unimpressed by her antics.Instead, I made my way to the drink tables, my mind focused on the task at hand. I had a plan, and I was determined to see it through.As I reached the table, I made sure to glance around, ensuring that no one was watching me. That's when I saw him - Dimitri, with those piercing green eyes that seemed to bore into my soul, I fe

Sapphire’s pov“Please, no, I beg of you.” Larissa’s cries woke me up and I just knew, that my plan was a success.“You hear that?” I said to no one in particular as I stretched my limbs. “That, is the sound of sweet, sweet revenge.” I muttered and smiled to myself as I made my way to my closet. I brought out one of my simpler gowns to wear for the personal occasion. It wasn’t too fancy but it was one of my favorites and it fit the bill . I quickly put it on not wanting to miss out on this great entertainment. As I walked towards where the sound was coming from, my footsteps stopped at my father's office. I stood in the doorway, my eyes fixed on the scene before me. Larissa was crying uncontrollably on the sofa, her face red and puffy. Dimitri sat across from my father, his hands on his temples, looking like he was trying to ward off a headache. Or a curse. When it concerns my sister, you really could never tell. My father looked up, his eyes meeting mine. I smiled innocently, tryi

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..

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

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 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

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 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
