My heart dropped painfully. I stared at the floor and ignored the look Josh gave me. He cleared his throat and told the guard, “Let’s go meet him, then.” To me, he said nothing. He just left. I was thankful for his discretion. I knew that he had arrived with his mate. Olivia. He wouldn’t be here if
Arthur The throne room's doors were closed behind us. I was glad to see that it had been untouched by the rogues. Everything was where it should be. It was the one place in the palace that I was proud to show Olivia. There were signs of the bloodshed everywhere else. I was told that even my chamb
Nothing in the world would stop me from loving her tonight. She kept looking around as we walked. Upstairs, it was harder to ignore the damage. There was some blood on the walls and staining the carpets. I couldn’t say that I wasn’t upset about this. Keeping this place safe was my duty and knowing
Olivia With shaky hands, I grabbed either side of the basin in the bathroom. I wanted to throw up. I was sick with fear, the kind of fear that had no name or face attached to it. It was bottomless. For a second, I didn't know who or what I was. Nothing made sense. I had never experienced this sen
I didn’t think so. Something brought me here. My instincts told me I had to stay and not give up but what certainty did I have that I could trust my instincts? I thought the great witches would help me. I felt it in my soul that they would. But the advice I got from the little witch made no sense
Olivia The morning was grim but I was determined to make the most of it. I had to admit that all I wanted to do was lie in bed and try to forget my problems. Last night, everything was clear in my mind, but when the sun rose I began doubting myself. Was I making the right decision? Did I really w
I nodded. I wanted to ask more but the truth was that I didn’t want to know. If I looked over his shoulder, I’d see the doors that led to the throne room. It was hard for me to imagine the two of them there. Together. I shuddered. “Is he happy?” I asked. It was the only thing I intended to ask. I
Arthur For the remainder of the tour, Olivia was acting differently. Coldly. I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know what had happened to displease her. I showed her the remaining places in the palace, including the courtyard, but she seemed unimpressed. Maybe it was her mood that made it
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
