The gems felt cool against my chest. I turned back around and he embraced me. I held him close, feeling tears accumulating in my eyes again. I said, "I don't think I've ever been this terrified." "I'll come see you every chance I get." "It's not going to be the same thing," I said, pulling away so
Olivia There were so many things I wanted to do and say to him. Too many, actually. The days were passing by in a blur and then the two days of waiting were over. It was the day Arthur had to leave. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was choking on my despair. I wished I could come up with a
Again, I didn’t blame her. I felt an emptiness inside of me. Arthur wasn’t here and it was easy to feel his absence now that he was gone. My eyes threatened to fill with tears but I swallowed them all down. Alice asked, “Do you want me to walk you to your room?” “No, I’m fine. Thank you. You sh
Olivia I didn't want to stand there listening to both of them moaning like some pervert but there were things that they were saying that were too serious for me to walk away. I quickly realized that this might very well be the answer to my questions regarding her, though not quite. "Yes," she m
Regret gnawed at me. This was always how it felt when I realized just how bad it was that I kept my identity a secret. Still, I had to believe that everything happened for a reason. I couldn’t believe that I was completely hopeless. Alice said, “That’s terrible, Anna. But isn’t that the man who st
Olivia “This is madness!” Alice exclaimed. I couldn’t say anything. I was still to shocked by what he had said and I felt too cold. Way too cold. He was Arthur’s half-brother. Arthur had slaughtered his mother right in front of him years ago when he took the throne. I could only imagine how angry
I nodded in understanding. “You’re right.” “They’ll want Arthur’s death to seem accidental. They don’t want anyone to guess they’re involved. That’s treason and punishable by death. They won’t kill him now. It’s too suspicious. We have time.” I had to count on that or I was going to lose my mind.
Arthur Weeks had gone by, each bloodier than the last. Time was passing by in a blur. I lost track of it and had no intentions to grasp it between my fingers again. All I saw when I closed my eyes was red. I dreamt of red. I ate red. I breathed red. There was no escaping the blood that was taintin
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
