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
Olivia "We called hundreds of healers from afar to heal your father's mysterious illness. That you know, for you were there. You saw how much we struggled. We did everything we could to heal him and there were days when he got better. I saw the change. But despite what we did, his health declined.
I stutter the question. "W-What is it?" "There's an implant," she begins. "A chip. In his arm. It was placed there after the man told us about the poisoning. I figured it would be the only way to find out who has poisoned him. It's a recorder. It's the only chance we have of attempting to find out
I sense the guardians glancing at each other, but eventually one of them mutters an agreement and they're on their way. My heart is racing still. My hope surges for no reason at all. I walk between the two guardians. There's some carelessness about the way they're walking or is that my imagination?
Arthur "Everyone just calm down," I say to everyone gathered outside the Capital gates. "We'll get news soon."I say this but I'm not confident that we will. Olivia is too far away for our minds to link, and so I'll have to wait for an outsider's information. I don't know who this outsider might be
I grit my teeth. "You're saying I should abandon this whole plan, leave Olivia behind, to go back? How can I do that? How can you ask that of me?""You will do it willingly or unwillingly," he replies with a careless shrug. He's speaking calmly, like he isn't delivering the worst message of all time
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
