SapphiraMateo fell asleep right after I fed him. There was a party going down below but I didn't want to attend. As far as aunt Elisa and uncle Marcelo were there. I peeked out of my room and requested for a maid to call Oprah. She looked at me weirdly like my request was strange but then she bowed and nodded. As soon as she ran off, I shut the door. I was getting uncomfortable in the clothes I was wearing but I couldn't reach the zipper. I already messed with the up-do Oprah weaved my hair into earlier this morning and now there was only a bird nest on my head but I didn't care as I had no intention to attend the party below.I had just taken a seat when a knock came on the door. "Come in," I sat up and Oprah walked quietly.I quickly noticed the box she was carrying and I rolled my eyes in frustration."This is from the alpha, Luna. He has instructed that you come to the party as there are many important people awaiting your presence."I facepalmed and asked, "What chances do I
Rafael My breath hitched as my eyes darted to the stairs just like everyone else in the room. I didn't know when I let go of the tumbler in my hand on the counter. My eyes were stuck on each movement Sapphira took. When I heard Ricardo help me choose the dress, I didn't quite envision she would look breathtaking like this. The flowing chiffon gown in soft, shimmering champagne hue glowed in the lights that have come to a stop on her. The delicate straps sparkled with intricate beading, like diamonds scattered across her shoulders. The fitted bodice showcased her slender waist more than I liked while the full skirt fell in soft folds and swept the ground as she moved. Her beautiful red hair which I wish was running down her back was packed in a chignon. "She's so beautiful," Another alpha of a neighboring pack and a close friend of mine, Elias, commented. He turned to Juan and asked, "Tell me again. How did Raphael get so lucky?" The rest burst into laughter and I snapped m
Sapphira"This is for you," Vicenzo stretched the bouquet of flowers to me and I accepted it with a smile of my own. "Thank you."We remained silent for just a minute before he spoke again, "How have you been?"I couldn't hear what he said over the noise of the party so I beckoned him to follow me and then turned around. I didn't notice two people with mixed reactions who stalked behind us.I led him out to the balcony and turned back to him. "What did you say?""I asked how you were doing but now I can see this is a foolish question. You are obviously faring better here than you ever did back there. Congratulations on your mating ceremony.""Thank you," I don't know why I felt uncomfortable at the way his smile turned sadder and suddenly bringing him to the balcony was a good idea but then it was openly directed to the party behind us.Actually, Vicenzo is the only son of the alpha of my former pack, Dark Moon pack. The one who had fallen helplessly in love with me and didn't shy awa
Rafael"Brother!" I don't know how people noticed. Neither did I realize that the party had been put to a stop abruptly because someone noticed me beating the hell out of the shit hole in my hands and drew everyone's attention to us."Let him go! You are going to kill him!" Ricardo peeled me off the unconscious bastard and I stepped away, shoving my fingers into my hair not caring about the bruised knuckles."Take him away," Roberto gestured to the guards who carried out his instruction immediately. Ricardo turned inside to address the crowd while I turned to Sapphira. She was shaking, obviously in disbelief of what just happened and I felt even more peeved.I should have gone to get her immediately when I left my friends. But I had been caught up entertaining more people who obstructed my way.They were only being kind by congratulating me on my mating ceremony and the upcoming hunting season so I had to attend to them.Who knew when I looked up, Sapphira would be leading a strange
Sapphira"You must be feeling very happy now. After all, you are now officially the Luna," The words rolled off Sophia contemptuously like molten lava. "But let me tell you. You may think you have won this time but you will never be my Luna. I won't acknowledge you."I felt an impending headache. Why couldn't I just be left alone and given peace of mind? I know to outsiders, the way Sophia was standing so close to me would appear like two close friends getting along.I can't imagine their reactions when they hear everything she is saying.Nevertheless, I steeled myself and looked at her with a calm smile. "Hi Sophia," I ditched the formalities just like she did. "I didn't quite hear what you just said over the noise. Do you care to repeat your words? If possible, you can head over to that place and request for a microphone so I can hear you clearly.""You bitch!" She gritted her teeth and yelled loud enough for only me to hear. "Are you playing me? Wait till Rafael dumps you like the
Sapphira"And... that's... my... niece. The... star... of the... show!" He clapped as I got to the counter. His female companions cheered along with him but I could easily see they were fake expressions.I didn't recognize any of them nor did I want to. They didn't look decent and I thought they must certainly not be from this pack because a lot of guests from far and near had been invited. I could however tell that my uncle was drunk and to prevent him from doing more embarrassing things, I looked around the party. But unlike before, I couldn't find Aunt Elisa anywhere.Did she really not care at all about her husband? How could she just leave him unattended to like this? I thought about the rumors I used to hear from the maids in my former pack while growing up that aunt Elisa and uncle Marcelo's marriage was a business one.There was no love between them. I rubbed my aching temple and wanted to leave him to himself. But I thought he would embarrass himself like always.I wouldn't
Sophia"I have done just as you requested, miss," The maid bowed to me slightly. Then she looked up at me with a tinge of fear."Miss, I hope the alpha won't find out because if he does, neither you nor I will be safe here," I could hear the threat in her words and almost laughed.Seriously? Does this little maid now have the nerve to threaten me? This is what I get for sending this lowly servant on an errand.But I didn't let my thoughts show as I patted her gently, concealing my disgust at having to touch her inwardly, "No, he won't. Don't you trust me? Don't underestimate my influence. Even if he does find out, he won't be able to do anything to me or it might cause a feud between him and my family and I certainly won't let you get caught either."The maid looked relieved and assured me, "I watched them take the drinks myself. The effect should kick in any moment from now. You just have to sit back and watch the show.""Good job," I smiled. But this smile only lasted for a few min
SapphiraI burst into tears as a memory rippled across my memory. "Why did you do this? Was this the gift you promised to give me later? How could you?"Dante didn't even bother to shield himself from my hits and only lowered his head. Why couldn't he say anything? Why was he just remaining mute?This wasn't how he was yesterday. Doesn't he realize keeping quiet will only cause them to misunderstand us further? My heart ached at the realization of how he had just appeared suddenly yesterday to help me with uncle Marcelo. Then accompanied me to the bar. It must have been his plan all along. But why did he do this to me? What did I ever do to this pair of siblings?I couldn't bear to see the disappointed looks casted my way so I buried my face in the duvet and began to cry."Get the maids to help her out," I heard Roberto instruct... Sophia perhaps because she mouthed, "Bitch!" before leaving the room.Everyone else also left, leaving me and Dante together. My body quaked with disgust
Hello dear readers, thank you so much for reading till the end of this book. I apologize if the end might seem abrupt to some of you. I have some health issues and have to take time off writing. I didn't want to leave this book hanging so I ended it. I'd like you all to know this is only the first book in the Romani's cursed Quads series and there is still more to come. Tysm!>3
Sapphira"Are you done?" Vespera sneered with a bored expression. "He's with me now. So step back, you worthless winged creature.""How dare you?!" Aunt Isolde thundered and extended her fingers but Queen Vera held her back."Don't touch her. She is mine. Handle your brother. I can't promise anything."Aunt Isolde looked at uncle Darius but he turned his face away. I don't miss the look of sadness that settles on her face. Even if uncle Darius is not a good person, he will always be her sibling and that is a bond that will never break."Since you dared to walk here yourself, I assume you already know you won't be leaving here alive?" Rafael snapped at Vespera hatefully."Lad, let's get this over with," A smile tugged at Vespera's lips as she acted quickly and raised her fingers. Screams erupt as a large, dark goblet is sent our way."Not today," Queen Vera hissed a surprisingly steady voice as she counterattacked Vespera's spell with one of our own.The goblet clashed with the protect
SapphiraMy eyes darted to Seraphina and even as a female, I was mesmerized. Antonio must have been dazed to see someone with such ethereal beauty like her. I feel the moon goddess couldn't have paired someone better than her with a good man like Antonio. But did I mention, her eyes looked cold and there was some kind of hidden hostility in them... Like she wasn't happy to meet me.But I shook off my thoughts and greeted her anyway. "Greetings to you, Princess Seraphina."She gave a nod and didn't respond. I felt awkward and her mother must have felt so too because she gave a short laugh and apologized."Forgive her impudence, Luna. I apologize on her behalf."I shook my head with a smile to show I didn't take offense to her daughter's behavior. She was probably upset that she had to tag along to a ceremony where she would encounter her unwanted mate again.Why doesn't she want our Antonio? Yes, Antonio might have offended me and acted stupid. But he was only trying to protect his si
SapphiraSomething is off and I know it. For these past few days, Rafael has been acting strange. I think he's hiding something from me. While preparations have been going on for Mateo's birthday party, I have caught him several times just staring or watching Mateo a bit too closely.Sometimes, he just takes him out for shopping and fills his wardrobe with excessive clothes that can't even fit him now. The maids are constantly bringing in new toys. What's up with him? I should feel creeped out but I'm not. Part of me is wondering if this is the cue to tell me that perhaps he wants a baby of his own... I don't know...Well, currently, I'm walking down the stairs to oversee the final preparations. Today is finally the day and we have invited people from all over including the pack members. Even mother, father and my brothers-in-law are going to participate. I'm happy they are all putting their differences to celebrate with Mateo.Well, not everyone. No one sent a message to aunt Elisa
Hello dear readers. I'm thankful to you all for making it this far. I'd like to give you a notice that I won't be available for updates till 11th of August due to some personal affairs. I'll appreciate your understanding and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you ~
Rafael"The event planners are outside. Why don't you meet with them for a minute? I have something to say to Roberto."Her eyes darted between us. Then she smiled and nodded, "That's good. You two need to talk things out. Holding a grudge for too long is not good for one's health. You can ask Federico."Yes... Federico. I need to get that rascal here before I lose my mind. But first, Sapphira needed to be out of this room."Let me take Mateo with me so he won't disturb your important conversation. I might as well give him lunch. He hasn't had anything to eat since breakfast."I felt a bit reluctant to let Mateo go to her. I just found out that there is a possibility he might be mine and my lungs were currently constricted. It seemed the feeling was mutual because Mateo refused to go to her and burrowed into my hands. "Nah... Dada!"We laughed and my eyes stung. It was difficult to keep my tears at bay. He was practically trying to say he wants me. "Dada needs to talk to uncle real
RaphaelI felt a bit reluctant to go to Roberto's chambers, but I needed to speak with Sapphira, so I went anyway.I had just opened the door when I saw Roberto stretching his arm towards Mateo, who was taking baby steps."C'mon, baby. You can do this," Sapphira cheered, gesturing for him to come forward."Come to Uncle. Don’t go to Mama," Roberto insisted, trying to grab Mateo’s attention.Mateo, on the other hand, was too excited to understand their antics. He took a few steps forward before wobbling in front of Roberto, who hurriedly leaned forward and caught him.I watched quietly as Roberto stroked Mateo’s cheek. "You can’t afford to leave a mark on your handsome face now. Your birthday is just a few days away.""If you don’t let him fall, he won’t learn how to walk soon," Sapphira shrugged, and Roberto gave her a look that practically screamed, ‘What sort of logic is that?’I stepped forward to make my presence known when Roberto suddenly spoke again, "I almost forgot... Sister-
RafaelSapphira has been acting strange. I don't know why but I can feel it. Since last night in Mateo's nursery, she suddenly turned quieter than before and I have a feeling she might be hiding something from me.But I don't have time to dwell on my thoughts now because I've had to take care of the pack's affairs today. Just as I got out of the walk-in closet, the head guard, Simon, was waiting for me."Alpha," He greeted me once I walked out. "You have a message from the High Pack Council."My brows arched when I heard his words. Anything about the High Pack Council was related to that demon."Is it good news?"His face turned grim and I was disinterested for a second before he shook his head. "I can't say, my Lord. But you have to come with me."Without much contemplation, I followed him to the courtroom where a messenger was waiting."Greetings Alpha Rafael," He bowed as we walked in. I gestured with my fingers for him to rise up. When he did, he stepped forward and informed me i
RafaelI gaped speechlessly at the small smile that spread on Sapphira's lips. Had she been waiting for me to say something like that? At least, I distracted her from crying. "Who wouldn't want Dante?" Her smile disappeared and she frowned slightly. "In my own opinion, Dante is gorgeous and down-to-earth... He was willing to take the brunt for his sister's actions. Someone as fiercely protective as that... Seraphina is really missing out."It was my turn to frown. "Why are you praising him so highly? Should I be worried?"She laughed and burrowed into my embrace. "I'm all yours, Rafael. Don't even think of such nonsense. I'm just trying to defend him. He is after all one of us."Only someone as big hearted as Sapphira wouldn't hold a grudge after what Dante did to her. She wasn't offended and had completely forgiven him. Her selflessness never fails to amaze me.Why would Darius want to hurt someone as kind as this? If that kingdom falls into his hands, he will ruin it beyond repair
