To my astonishment, the guards returned right on time. I was in shock. One said to her, "Your carriage is ready." As she walked past him, she said, "You're thirty seconds late." I followed Emma down the corridor that led to the back side of the palace. It wasn't an exit that was used. The guards w
Arthur I heard her call my name. I looked around desperately, eager to spot her. For an instant, it felt like she was sitting right beside me. I heard her voice in my ear, or perhaps it was in my heart. She whispered it like a prayer, and I closed my eyes tightly and tried to block out all the oth
Not even the fight with the Rogues. I had been informed of it when we left. We weren't that far away from the palace when I was told. I could have easily given the order and we would have turned right around. Defeating them would be easily. It would be a victory for us. But I thought about Olivia,
Olivia The ride was longer than I thought it would be. Emma and I didn't say a word to each other. There was nothing to say, or maybe we were both lost in our thoughts. I knew I was. I couldn't stop thinking about Arthur suddenly. As the sky darkened, I asked myself if he was already reunited with
The torches that lined the walls in this room didn't emit much light. The fire was so dark that it was almost black. How was that possible? I could only afford a quick look around. I noticed right away that all the witches had their eyes on me. I braced myself. This was it. I would finally figure ou
Olivia The young witch looked at me for the longest time. All their eyes were on me. I stood with my fingers curled in my palm, unsure of what to do. The most surprised of them all was Emma, who was looking at me like she didn't know me at all. Like she was terrified of me. Before this moment,
“Her prophecies are never wrong,” Emma said forcefully. “Her age means nothing. Age is merely a number where power is involved. She has accomplished a lot in her few years as a witch. There is a reason why she’s seated where she is. Many people are born with a gift but some gifts are too small to be
Olivia The palace was much calmer when we arrived, which made me realize that the rogues were either gone or defeated. I thought about Bambi again and hoped that he hadn’t been killed. I was relieved that the trip came to an end but I knew what happened now that I was here. I sensed that Emma w
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
