"Stop taking my father's name into your conspiracies!" I shouted at him. "Let me clear this concern about June the maid…it was said that the maid was giving poison to the King. She was the one who murdered the King and that too ordered by our beloved Queen Olivia. As all of us are aware that June
"We rebel?" Trisha asked me and her tone seemed a little astonished. "Yes, Trisha. I have had enough. They are using my dad's name for their artificial crimes. I won't let them be a fraud to the people of this land." "I mean..do you intend to rebel just like that? With the land being bidden in a
Olivia Arthur’s words flip a switch in the people behind us. They charge at the guardians with deep howls, gripping the handle of their flashing swords. I stomp on the closest guardian's foot and elbow him in the face. He steps back enough for me to slip between him and the next guardian. This happ
I let my spear drop to the ground. I catch the look of utter surprise on David's face right before I sink to my knees. Chaos ensues around me, but not for long. "Stop!" he shouts. I hear a sharp intake of breath. Arthur. I close my eyes and lower my head. I hope he'll forgive me for this. I hope
Olivia The stink of the prison tickles my nostrils. This place is filthy; every surface I touch feels grimy and sticks to my skin and clothing like glue. The smell is the most unbearable part. It's the kind of smell that can't be identified. It's a sickly sweet rotten smell. The kind of smell tha
My eyes fill with tears. I watch Harry's face eagerly. My heart is swelling with the pain of all that has happened to me, and judging by Lena's tone, I can tell that there are bigger plans involving me. She wouldn't be saying these things from out of nowhere. They're David's words. Harry shifts un
Arthur The wait after Harry and Lena leave is even longer. It's agony, waiting for something to happen. I wonder what it's like for people who have been sentenced to life in prison for their crimes. What's it like knowing that you'll spend the rest of your life in a place like this? There's no wa
When the visitor steps into the light, my heart all but stops. It's David. He's wearing the same expression his daughter wore. The signature look of disdain darkens his features. He looks like he's going to lunge at her. He just might. "Olivia Evans," he says. I shudder. Hearing my name fall f
This was a significant moment for all of us. We had our own meeting ceremony just a week ago. There was no reason why we couldn’t renew our vows and be mated in front of the whole world. I officially became Luna Queen, yet everyone always called me Mother Luna. It was a title that inspired hope in
Olivia So the rogues took over my kingdom, and after that there was only peace. My aunt daisy, who was taking care of the kingdom for me, decided to come live here with me and Arthur. She was disappointed when she found out what her daughter had done. She didn’t know anything about her plan, but
Arthur’s brows shot up. “So you have your old memories back?” “Yes,” I answered, smiling. I was seeing him with different eyes now. He was my Arthur again. And I had missed him. I had missed this memory I had of him. He came over to my side and embraced me. We held each other for the longest time a
Olivia When Bambi returned to tell us that everything had worked out according to plan, I fainted. I was so relieved that everything had worked. I could hardly believe that I managed to convince the Captain to trust Emma to cast the spell on the fake Olivia, a spell that the goddess whispered in
I could very well be wrong. “What if I told you that I received a better offer?” he asked curiously. “What would you do then? How would you convince me to take your offer instead of the one I received?” “Impossible,” he said. “There is no better offer than mine.” “How can you be so sure?” he ask
Arthur I looked at the Rogue Captain. We made eye contact. When he was here the last time, he made it clear that he wanted power. He wanted a place where he could rule his people and not under some tree. That was what he said. He believed the rogues didn’t have any representation, which wasn’t
I frowned. This made Darius smile because he knew something that I didn’t. He said, “Surprised? You should be. I spent months under this very roof and you didn’t even see me. What kind of Alpha King is that? You posed a threat to all of our people. You were a bad King, through and through.” “Not wo
Arthur Upon arriving, four days after we left the campsite, I quickly realized that something was terribly wrong. There was too much agitation around the city. People looked around hesitantly like they were terrified. I wasn’t paid any attention to because I was dressed in rags. I had to find new
She turned and looked at me in surprise. Then, she began to cry. She put her head on my lap and cried. I could only stroke her head. I was grateful that she was here, alive and well. At least she wasn’t dead. “What happened?” I asked her even though I had an idea. Alice shook her head. “They rou
