The day started cool and dewy. I pulled the blanket closer to my body. The sun rays made the birds boisterous. It broke my sleep.
I walked over to the window. A smile appeared on my face. Silver and Elizabeth were running with Jasper, Carlos, and Daniel. The portals had really helped them to end the distance.
Another voice reached my ears, "My mother is shouting at someone." I didn't give it a second thought and turned to the door. I hurried down the stairs.
My feet flattered and I clasped the railing. His grey eyes turned to me. He smiled, "Good morning, pumpkin." He said, his eyes glinting with happiness.
"Emma, breakfast will be ready soon. Go, get a shower." My mom said. It was just an excuse to send me away.
I didn't move, just stared at
When Daniel pulled over the car, I stared at the mansion, there was mostly glasswork, large windows covered with black glass, "You're rich," I giggled. Drake shook his head smiling, "Charles shares are more expensive than our in the market." He said. I stared at him in confusion, "Shares! I don't know what you are talking about." I reached for the door and opened it, "Ain't they rich?" I asked in a whisper when she stepped out of the car behind me. "Our families are counted as billionaires. Relax!" Elizabeth smiled. "You're kidding." I looked back. Charles pulled his black BMW. He got out of the car, like a regal man, he rounded the car and opened the door for my mother. She climbed down the car, first revealing her red heels, the slit on her red dress, "My mom is fire,
My snappish increased. I stared at all the faces. I went back to the academy. Most relieving thing, I was in his villa in the room he assigned me, "Why am I here?" I asked myself. I wasn't in the mood for more lies. His Alpha-friends, Headmaster Donovan, and my family had occupied the space. Their gazes were on me. Silver and Mom were sitting close to me on the mattress but they weren't trying to touch me. Elizabeth was holding my hand and she smiled down at me, "You need rest." "I can't stay out of the academy for a long time. Why?" I asked. "It happened because the portal was destroyed," Alessandro asked Donovan. "They aren't completely destroyed." He replied. His expression stiffened. I squeezed Elizabeth's hand. Her sad gaze turned to me, "Y
The bangs on the door woke me. I slept late last night. All I was thinking about was my adventure in the Blue mountains. I was thinking in a positive way. That could be my last journey. I wiped my eyes. Once I was in better control of my emotions, I opened the door. Elizabeth outstretched her hands with a tray. I stared down at the French toasts, salad, and hot chocolate. "I know. you didn't sleep." She walked in the room when I didn't take the tray. "Have you changed your mind?" Silver asked, she was holding a white towel in her hand and wiping the sweat from her face. "No," I shook my head. "Then you're not getting it," Elizabeth pulled the train close to her stomach. I shrugged my shoulders and saunt
I opened the door and stepped out of the car. The cold wind stung my face. I walked down the path with Alessandro. I stayed closer to him. I wasn't bothered about Silver's gaze, "Are they friendly?" I asked as there was nothing to distract me from the trouble brewing on the horizon. "You'll be safe. No matter what?" he said, his gaze was on them. "I know," I sighed. I glanced at them. Bunch of hot chocolate! I wasn't flirting. Just saying. I inhaled deeply. But I couldn't smell anything dead or rotten in the air. "Miss Nelson, I'm Jamie. Our master is waiting for you." The tallest and the handsome one said. Just Jamie! No surname? Master? "Yes, my friends are coming with me," I said. He nodded and looked at the S
He cut the skin of his palm with a sharp edge. My lips parted when the cut began to heal quickly. When he removed the blade away, one drop of crimson fell in the glass sliding across his palm. I gulped. He grabbed it and outstretched his hand. Deep concern was embedded from my friends' faces. I wasn't certain, either. My hands were shaking when I advanced my hand. I grasped it and stared down at the liquid. His blood couldn't mix with water. It was swirling in the water. I gagged. "Drink it. Imagine, it's pomegranate juice." Silver said, offering her best smile. "It's safe," I saw fading glistening around her palm as Elizabeth waved her hand over the glass. Her magic was beyond my imagination. I nodded and held my breath before gulping nasty thing through my throat. I was expec
I was sitting under the tree. I wanted him to come, but it wouldn't happen. His memories were eating me up inside, torturing me constantly. I couldn't sleep, Elizabeth did not need to do this. I'd find another way. Aragon should suggest some more names who could help me. "Hi, why are you still not ready?" Elizabeth asked. "We're not going. We talked about it last night," I told her. She sat next to me. I kept toying with the blade of grass. "We're going to see my mom," She chuckled. I glanced at her smiling face, "Your mom? Is she a light faerie?" I asked her. "No, she's Alpha's wife." She giggled again. "You're not kidding," I smiled. "Mary, being the Alpha's wife, has its benefi
I rubbed my eyes. Still, the sight was blurry. I closed my eyes and opened them again. It didn't help. "Emma," Drake said, turning to me. His features were blurred too. I smiled, walking ahead. I held my brother's hand. My head began to pound. He smiled. I blinked, hoping the sight would get clear. Was it because of the curse? I was far away from my shell. This place seemed safe as Burt didn't join us. I stayed behind pretending to look at the view around me. I couldn't see clearly. I could hear them. Elizabeth engulfed her arms around someone. I looked carefully. Her mother. I smiled when they turned to me. Her mother approached and placed her hand on my cheek, "You're Emma. She talked about you and Silver all the time.
I asked for the car keys from Mary. She gave it to me immediately. She was in the kitchen and talking about the place where we were going. "So.." Drake was toying with his car keys, "It's different from King created?" He asked Mary. "Yes, it was generated by the Queen of light, centuries ago," Mary replied. "Em, let me drive." Silver said. She had changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top. I handed her the keys. Elizabeth was looking at me. Her gaze was demanding one thing. I shook my head. "You girls need to talk," Edward said. His hands were fisted over the table. "Nothing to talk about. She's not coming. After meeting your granny, I could imagine crude King Kolstov, he must be a bundle of tricks and lies. Light faerie can't lie o
THIRD PERSON's POV Silver slid under the duvet with her. The air was full of tension, silence was making it worse. "What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked, worry written all over her face "Look at her," Silver peered down at her and placed the back of her hand against her cheek, ''Her skin is cold. Her lips are turning blue. We can't let her die. She's our friend." "I've talked to mom. The book is the only solution." Elizabeth said, flickering her gaze out of the window. The night was dark, with no star, no moon. "How could Dastien leave her to deal with everything on her own when she doesn't know a thing about our world?" Silver muttered, under her breath. They were worried and frighten
"Are you okay, Emma?" Teal asked. I nodded my head. My gaze caught the dark leather tome. The sparkling increased and it burst into the air, it threw the book into the air and it tore into thousands of tiny pieces. The part of my brain seemed to shut off. My pulse quickened, "What's this?" I asked. "We broke the spell," Sap whispered, still in shock. I was staring at her, "Why am I precious? You know everything about me, indeed everyone." I swiped my gaze on Carlos. He returned the gaze but didn't utter a word. Sap glanced at Teal, her expression was nervous. "I need to know what's happening to me? Why am I cursed?" I never dared to ask this. Never. "You're cursed by a powerful Quee
In the morning, the sun peeked out over the tops of the mountains. I woke up with a jolt. I saw the beasts in my nightmare. I could hear the weak voices of my friends, "You're dreaming. Relax." When I opened my eyes. They were looking at me, lying next to me. I pushed myself up and climbed down the bed. I walked over to the window with sleepy eyes. A slow smile appeared on my face. There was a beautiful picturesque in front of me. "It's beautiful," Silver said. "A beautiful trap," Elizabeth murmured. "Why?" I asked, still looking at the view of hills and morning sun in front of me. "Some witches are so strong that they can destroy the world. They are full of evil."
"Wao!" I looked at the ceiling to the walls and floor with wonder. It looked like a simple house from the outside. But when I stepped in, the floor was made of polished wood, the walls were of stone, the roof was of glass, wood, and aluminum. The furniture was of dark wooden, dark and coffee brown curtains, some ancient paintings were hanging on the wall, "Your house is amazing," "I was telling the same," Silver said, giggling. Elizabeth paced toward me. I took a step back, Jasper's hand around my shoulder stopped me. " I wanna keep it," I said. "You're hurting yourself and us. You know she didn't mean to hit you." Elizabeth said. I shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't seek their help at every moment. "We shouldn't do this. We should hear you." Silver sighe
They'd really transformed into a badass. I grabbed my backpack. It was heavy for me. My phone buzzed. I took it out of my pocket and stared at the message. 'Samantha has asked for your number. Is she troubling you?' I sat down on the bed and clicked on the reply. I typed quickly. 'No, everything is fine.' I grabbed the bag and got up, hauling it behind me. Mom was waiting in the hall. My phone buzzed again. I clicked on open glancing down. 'I didn't give her your number. ' "What's making you frown?" She asked. I softly bit my lower lip, "Samantha wanted my number but Drake refused her." I told her. Was it wish? Soon, I'd know from her reaction. "He did the ri
I felt all the more dreadful. Cassandra was hovering over my head. Her gaze cut through me and I felt paralyzed. I pushed myself up, drifting my gaze around. "Finally you're fully awake," Cassandra said, with a smile. Her real smile astounded me. Werewolves tearing heads from their bodies, dead bodies, faeries fighting, faces of king Ricinus, King Kelstov, Prince Stipe plagued my thoughts. "I'm not married, right?" I asked with a scared tone, with big eyes. My chin began to tremble. I held my tears. They fed on human pain. They tormented humans and mocked their suffering. I swung my legs off the bed and padded across the room. It was a different room. "You're not married." She said.
I opened my eyes. My cheek was pressed against something cold. I forced my eyes to open. I saw logs burning and people sitting around it. It was huge and in the shape of a pentacle. The flames were so tall that I could it above their heads too. I could feel the slight heat. But the cool wind made it worse. My body trembled when I saw bars. I pushed myself up, jamming my hands against the cold metal. I heard laughter. My gaze drifted around. I was caged. The mocking, monstrous faces looked at me. Dread rolled through my belly. I drew in a sharp breath when I felt a sharp pain at the side of my head. A hand waved and I saw dark smoke in the air. I fall back on the metal ground. I tried but I couldn't gather the strength to sit. I held my hand to my temple. It hurt when my fingers pressed softly. Where are you
My eyes opened with a snap. Dastien! I could feel the pain again in my memories but it felt real. The terror permeated my skin and seeped into my bones. All faces turned and lingered on me, and I clenched my teeth to suppress a shriek as I pushed myself up. My gaze darted around. I wasn't in my room. The walls were red, ancient, expensive furniture, their room was definitely royal. King Kelstov was leaning against the doorframe. His yellow eyes were still on Elizabeth. Arms curled around me, taking me in a choking embrace. I saw Mary grinning with tears. "Girls, careful. Don't hurt her." She muttered. They pulled away immediately. They were grinning but I could see tear tracks, slightly swollen or red eyes. The skin of my cheek
After two hours of driving in the deep forest, Mary announced that we'd walk. Trees were so thick that the sunlight hardly reached the ground. The sound of wild animals could be heard. Somewhere from the direction of the forest, an owl hooted. In response, my heart thrummed. "It gives an ominous feeling," I told them. "Dark magic!" Mary said, looking forward. Her feet didn't stop for a second. I gazed at Elizabeth for an explanation, "This place is secured by Dark magic. Only a dark Faerie king can do this." "King Kolstov," I said his name in a whisper. My legs were throbbing, "Can we rest for a while?" I was forcing myself to walk. "I can pick you up," Silver grinned at me. We kept walk
