“But the Head Maid—” “Whatever you have to give or say to her is not more important than attending to your King,” she said. “Come. I will not ask again.” My heart was in my throat. What was the meaning of this? What was she planning? I didn’t know. I couldn’t understand. I walked alongside her and
Olivia "Anna," Alice said to me as I placed the last decorative pin in my hair, "are you sure about this?" I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Was I sure? No, I couldn't say that I was. Everything was uncertain at the moment and I knew that my namesake was up to something. I didn't know what
“Anna,” he said softly. Sympathetically. “I know what you’re thinking,” I told him. “To answer your question, yes, it does hurt. It hurts more than you’ll ever know.” I wasn’t supposed to be telling him these things but it was either that or I’d break down right here. Besides, I was safe with Jos
Olivia Josh and I kept out distance from the Royal couple. I couldn't help but call them that in my mind. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and for that I was thankful. I kept recalling the words she said to me as she walked past me and shuddered each and every time. I hoped that she had only
I didn’t know what she was talking about. The only time she sensed my magic was when I bewitched Arthur when he caught me in his room. I didn’t use it again. Yes, I used it to reveal my face, but that was in my room, all the way in the slaves’ part of the palace. I didn’t use it anywhere else. Som
The slaves who dropped the soup on me stood back with their heads low. “Guards!” Olivia shouted behind me. “Grab them! Take them to the prison and away from here. Look at what they’ve done!” I struggled to stand. Josh tried to advance but I raised a hand and he stopped abruptly. I nearly fell bac
Arthur I watched the slaves clean up the mess that had been made. They didn’t take long, merely five minutes or so, but my eyes were glued to the spot long after they left with their buckets. Shortly afterward, everything returned to normal. People continued eating, drinking, and dancing. Nobody
“What?” he asked. “It’s me,” I said. Josh opened the door after a few seconds. He was still wearing his tuxedo, which was stained in the front. My guess was that Anna’s clothes had made his dirty. He was wiping his hands with a white towel. He gave me a hard look and asked, “Is there something I
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
