RaphaelThe first thing I wanted to do when I returned was to go to Sapphira. Even though I was only away for a few days, I thought of her everyday and wondered what she was doing.But I knew if I called her, she would probably not want to talk to me. After the misunderstanding had been cleared between us, I felt like my heart had grown fonder towards her and I was scared.I might have to tell her sooner or later why I can't mark her and I dread her reaction.However, when I walked in, I didn't expect Ricardo to meet me midway or the solemn expression on the faces of others.Before I could inquire what was going on, he spoke, "Brother... Sapphira is missing.""What?" The exhaustion from the long trip disappeared instantly. "How? When did this happen?"Ricardo sighed and narrated everything that had happened to me. Furious was an understatement. I turned to Romeo and snapped, "Why were you hanging around an illegal race arena? Why did I never know there was a place of sorts? And last
SophiaI looked at her silently before bursting into laughter like I had just heard the funniest joke of the century. "How do you know that?" I grabbed her hair and pulled it aside. She winced in but I wasn't scared. "Look, he has left you unmarked for so long. Doesn't that show just how little your worth to him is? Rafael is only blinded by your beauty now. Once you disappear, he won't even think of you again and I'll win his heart."I crouched so I could look at her directly. "Do you know what I will do first?"She didn't respond but I spoke anyway, "I'll have that little bastard of yours kicked out of the street and then I'll bear Rafael's children. My children will continue his bloodline."I expected her to get mad at my words but instead she looked at me like I was a clown and smiled. I was peeved."Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?"She winced when I brought the silver laced knife to the other cheek, leaving a similar mark on it. She shook her head and her smile
Rafael"Sophia, do you even know the severity of your actions?" I could hear Mrs Castillo's voice as we walked into their house. They had called Dante to inform him that she had returned home disheveled and was in a terrible condition but that was not my concern."Mom, I told you I didn't do anything wrong. Why don't you believe me? Just look at the state I'm in. Do you think I am capable of doing anything?""But you still haven't told me where you went. It will bad when the alpha—""No need."I took long strides at them and pulled her up. With a tight hold on her wrist, I gritted, "Where is Sapphira? Where have you taken her? Sophia, what the hell is wrong with you?""You," Contrary to my fury, she smiled and looked down on our linked arms. I was suddenly feeling disgusted."You finally came to see me.... Rafael, have you realized I'm meant for you and not her? Have you—""You have gone mad!" I yelled and flung her arm. She staggered but she still came back to me. "Rafael, you don'
SapphiraThe pain was terrible. I felt like I couldn't breathe, like my entire body was on fire. Like there were many fire ants crawling into me. I have never felt this way before in my life. The rogues had tossed me off in this part of the woods after inflicting torture on me.Each time they stabbed me, it felt like I was reborn again to go through the same pain. When they finally had enough and realized I wasn't going to die so soon, one said to the rest, "There's probably already a bounty on our heads. If we stick around to kill this bitch that clearly doesn't want to die, we might get caught.""So I say let's just throw her somewhere no one is ever going to find her and escape."After that, I didn't know how long we went but they went deeper into the woods and finally found somewhere to toss my almost lifeless body.My body was trembling and weak from the pain but no words came out of my mouth. So I laid there helplessly and wasn't even conscious of the flies hovering around me.
RafaelMy face distorted to a frown and I knew my guards could feel my irritation. I was already tense as it is and now this prince from the Fae kingdom comes up to me and tells me blatantly that I have something of his.I never take what isn't mine so I don't understand what I might have taken that was his or did my pack members do something that I am not aware of?Nevertheless, I asked him in a grumpy tone, "Why don't you be more specific? My pack never takes what doesn't belong to us. If they have done so, then I apologize. I'll have the perpetrator brought forward immediately and return whatever it is to you."Darius smiled; this action only enhanced his already stunning features. I suddenly thought If the maids were around, they would have swooned now. "You must have misunderstood my words. I apologize," My confusion intensified at his words but before I could ask anything, he continued, "I'm searching for someone actually. My niece... And she just so happens to be in this pack.
SapphiraI sat patiently as Noah wrapped a clean bandage round my head. It felt weird having a man touch me so closely like this. Perhaps because I have gotten too used to the Romani's brothers...Thunderbolts struck my head as some of the fragments of my missing memories began to return... I could remember I had been abducted by some rogues at the racing arena but anything after that, I couldn't remember.What exactly happened? The concussion probably affected my memories too. And... Romeo would be so worried. I opened my mouth to ask them how long I've been out of consciousness. But no words came out, only my lips moved. Noah's mother noticed I was trying to speak. She shook her head and patted me, "Don't strain your vocal cords, child. Whatever you want to say can wait. Your body is in a terrible shape. You should focus on recovering."I closed my lips feeling frustrated that I couldn't talk. My vocal cords were actually on fire but I just wanted to know how long I have been unco
Rafael"Have you heard any news?" I asked Antonio and the guards accompanying him. "No sir," He bowed and reported as usual. My shoulders sagged with defeat. "But there is news from the council that the demon was spotted roaming near the woods beside the Regal pack. Surprisingly, no casualties were recorded."I buried my face in my palms. Sapphira has been missing for almost two weeks now. There is no news from the guards searching for her and now that bastard demon is roaming around freely. "Rafael," Roberto called out but I didn't raise my head. "What should we do about Darius? Remaining in our pack is just simply to constitute a nuisance.""What can I do?" I snapped, feeling irritated. "He wants his niece. Not like I am going to give her to him but if news spread out that the heiress of the Fae kingdom went missing under my watch... Do you know what would happen?"No one spoke. They had all been shocked after hearing the important position Sapphira held just like I was. I was da
The Writer_ "Where is the alpha? I want to see him," Luna Lucia questioned the hefty guards that were standing in front of her mate's chambers and obstructing her path. Her hands clenched by her side subtly. She had only just woken up from her nap when one of her maids informed her that the slut her mate has kept in the pack for months has finally gone into labour. She couldn't describe how relieved she felt at the news. The bitch would finally leave their lives once and for all. It was quite a shame to her that she was discovered to be infertile after getting mated to Santino Romani, the alpha of Bloodstone pack. She couldn't give her fated mate a cub. She was unable to produce the future heir of the pack. Despite this, Santino never stopped loving her or showing how much he cherished her, that was until a few months ago. He got involved in a one night stand and had accidentally impregnated the stray wolf. She didn't fuss about it. It was like the moon goddess heard their p
