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
Rafael'Why are you being so strong headed huh?' he snorted upon seeing my attitude but I still remained indifferent to his words. If I had my way, I would have him locked up in the dungeon too. If only he wasn't my brother... My mate is out there somewhere who knows... It's all because of him and yet he can still stand there and talk shit to me.I wiped Mateo's lips with a tissue, a bit surprised I'm able to handle him gently considering the way I was boiling inwardly.'For all I know, it could be Sapphira trying to reach us. But since you are so unconcerned, then I'll let it be,' Romeo sneered. My fingers halted; he finally caught my attention. But when I turned around, he was gone. I wanted to call him but then I thought again, he just contacted me through the mind-link so how could it be broken?He must be playing some tricks and trying to get me to talk to him and that is one thing I won't do until Sapphira returns!I turned my full attention to Mateo.__________SapphiraI can
SapphiraRing!Ring!The phone kept on ringing and I looked up at Anne again. Wasn't there anyone nearby who could answer the phone?If no one answers, I'll have to give the phone back to Anne. I sighed and waited. Unexpectedly, when the phone was about to be disconnected, someone answered it.I opened my mouth to say something when the person beat me to it. "Hello?"Antonio? Why is it Antonio? What was he even doing at the pack house and where are others? I looked over at Anne again when Antonio repeated, "Hello?"I wanted to speak but that was when Rafael's voice came through. "Who is it?"His voice sounded hoarse and cold but I would never be mistaken. My eyes suddenly sting upon hearing him speak again after days or perhaps weeks... I don't really know.I was wiping off the stupid tears when I heard Antonio's response, "I don't know, alpha. It's silent on the other side. Perhaps just some random pup making a prank call with its parents phone. We've been getting a lot of that latel
Lord DariusI was having fun with my daily rendezvous activity of flirting with the ladies in the pack when my little birdie came along. Besides Bloodstone being amongst the top strongest pack, I see they also have many beautiful ladies and foolish ones too.Although I am tempted, I won't be tainting my bloodline like my brother did. I can only toy around with them till I leave. "This had better be for a good reason," I snapped at the bird chirping and hovering around me annoyingly just when I was shoving my tongue down a maid's tongue.I couldn't carry on and had to pull away. She whined softly and hooked her arms around my neck as if unwilling to let me go, she was completely lost in my charms.I know what these little maids are thinking. They only know I am a very important guest of the alpha and perhaps rumors of me being a prince might have spread around and they were willing to hog me hoping I would be the road to making their lives better.But unfortunately, I can see through
Sapphira"Should I call your mate?" Anne sat beside me looking extremely worried and I didn't know what to think. If she says the unknown man is going around scaring people just to ask about my whereabouts, then he couldn't be someone with good intentions."It's only a matter of time before he finds us."I looked up when she said this and she inhaled deeply. "I don't doubt our pack's loyalty. Once they see that he means no good, they won't tell him a thing and word might have already gotten to the alpha but there are one or two slightly unpleasant people here."I picked up the book beside me and scribbled some words on it.[I don't know any red haired man. It'll be fine. Since Rafael called, he might not be far away from here]"Good," She nodded and inhaled again as if to calm her nerves. "And I am going to give that mate of yours a lecture of how terrible it is to let you roam around unmarked."My eyes widened and I penned down fiercely.[No, please don't!]"You can't change my mind,
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
