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
Olivia By the end of the night, I was ready to leave. The head doctor was astounded by my recovery. He said he had never seen anything like it even by werewolf standards. Some parts of my skin were pink but the rest had gone back to normal, especially my face. I felt fine. The burning sensation h
“We have enemies in common,” he said like that made all the sense in the world. “We can unite and fight against him. All I would need from you is a word.” “What enemies do we have in common?” I asked. His conversation was making me agitated. I had the feeling that I didn’t know him at all and that
ArthurMy relationship with Josh changed practically overnight. Of course, it all started when he hurled those accusations at Olivia, about her having planned what happened to Anna beforehand. It was an absurdity and I hated myself for letting him continue talking about her that way. I should have
She was exactly what I needed to feel whole and at ease again. There were no other meetings left for the day. Everyone avoided the palace because of the attack. I saw blame shining in everyone’s eyes when they looked at me. As the Alpha King, I should have stayed behind to protect them but instead
Olivia I went back to performing my duties as if nothing had happened. I got looks of surprise from a lot of people, especially the ones who had seen what had happened at the banquet. Everyone thought I would be bedridden for a much longer time but I was on my feet sooner than expected. Perhaps m
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
