SophiaI was scared... I've never been more scared like I was. Not even in the court when I faced everyone including Rafael who looked at me so coldly.At that moment, my resolve truly broke and the last of the feelings in my heart dissipated. I was such a fool. I was willing to destroy myself for a man who is clearly so head over heels for someone else.But now, I didn't pay attention to what Antonio was saying but I have never been more frightened to see him leave.Honestly, I was shocked when he stood by me in the courtroom. He was willing to be kicked out of the pack with me. Why?I have never treated him well. I have always insulted and ridiculed him any chance I got. I even made him know I felt he was below my status.Why was he the one that chose to stand by me during the trial? Doesn't he care about all the horrible things I've done? I tried to kill someone. Doesn't he care about that?Then I heard him say, "I'll be back I promise. I just have to say my farewell to my family a
SapphiraRafael could barely hold him up as he brought him to me. "Nice view," He whispered into my ears as he passed Mateo to me.The duvet already dropped and my bare, upper body with tiny love bites all over was on full display. My eyes darkened and I gave him a glare which he snickered at."Mama!" Mateo cried again and began dabbling me all over with sloppy baby kisses that made my heart melt."Someone definitely missed his mama very much," Rafael noted as he reached out for his phone which was on the bedside stand.'Whose fault is it?' I snorted through the mind-link. After the whole rendezvous last night, I'm certain I'd completely lost my voice. If it wasn't for Rafael holding me captive in this room, I would have been reunited with my Mateo. 'Don't act like you didn't enjoy the time spent here,' Saskia spoke casually, making my cheeks flush at the recollection of the wild memories of us rolling in the sheets.Rafael didn't respond to my question as he seemed to be occupied wi
Lord Darius"What do you mean?" I was certain my anger was displayed all over. "That little bitch we got into trouble for intruding that goddamn pack has returned to her mate safe and sound. You bloody fools!"My men cowered and lowered their heads but none dared say a word. Because we entered that pack without permission and even intimidated the pack members, we were imprisoned by that lowly alpha.Imagine my humiliation as I had to spend days in that dark cell before some fae were sent to my rescue. Now that the older members of the Seelie Court got a wind of my plans, they have placed a ban on me.I am not allowed to step out of the boundaries of our territory for any reason whatsoever. And they... They went in search of the Fae princess themselves.All my plans for decades fell apart because of that bitch. While I was imprisoned in that stupid pack, she was already reunited with her mate and having the best of her life.I can't be doomed just like this. I swear any day she steps
SapphiraAfter Rafael had applied the ointment, he carried me out of the bathroom even though I protested. My brows arched upon seeing that neither Oprah or Mateo was in the room. Perhaps she had gone to feed him. I got into the walk-in closet while Rafael went to take his bath. I wasn't expecting what I saw there.________RafaelIt only took me about five minutes or less to bathe and leave the bathroom. Sapphira was nowhere in sight and I wondered where she was. I headed into the walk-in closet and didn't expect that the first thing my eyes would come in contact with were her teary eyes."My goodness, what's wrong?" I rushed to her immediately. "Why are you crying?"'Did you do all these?' she gestured around and I heaved a sigh of relief. Was this why she was crying? I only gave the closet a little renovation while she was away. Nothing special.But it seems every little thing could make Sapphira tear up. "Is that why you were crying? I didn't expect you would be so touched or I
Rafael"But it doesn't matter. I have you and Mateo now," I planted a kiss on her cheek and smiled. She frowned slightly like she was thinking of something.'Something doesn't feel right... Do you think the curse has been broken?' she looked up at me with a questioning gaze."I don't know for sure," I shrugged. "But if it makes you feel at ease, I'll send for the pack doctor and have him examine me. He is one of the few people that knows about my condition."'A full examination by the physician will be better,' She nodded. 'I'm still wondering... You still haven't told me how you got the curse.'"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm innocent," I raised my arms at her expression. "I've never done anything to warrant a curse. The shamans say we've been born with it."'That's awful,' Her expression changed again and I could feel the pity emanating from her. She held my cheeks and shook her head.'I can't imagine someone would just have an evil intention to curse innocent children. How co
Sapphira"They will arrive anytime from now. I received a message from father a while ago," Roberto answered as he pressed the control button on his wheelchair to pull away from the dining table.The maids began to troop out to clear up the used dishes. Oprah was behind them, holding up a happy and obviously well-fed Mateo.She seemed amused by him and even came up to report to me, "Luna, I tried a new recipe today and it seems he loves the banana puree very much. I was considering making another plate for him but I was afraid he might be overfed."Rafael reached out and stroked his chubby cheeks. "That's good. The nannies mentioned he would throw up when fed excessively so just stick to one portion. He looks quite satisfied."Oprah's smile widened at the compliment and she bowed slightly. I couldn't speak so I just smiled.Roberto came forward just then in his wheelchair. He stretched his arms. "Baby, don't you want to come to uncle? I had the maids bring in a new set of toys you wou
Rafael'Are you anxious to know the results?'I looked down at Sapphira when her voice penetrated through the mind link. We were walking hand-in-hand in the garden after going for a quick run. She was still waiting for an answer and I didn't know what to say. Was I anxious? Not really... I just don't know how I would feel if the test results come out and it turns out I can now father a child.It was absurd to think right? I've lived all my life with the stigma that I wouldn't be able to breed someone. So if I get some reports that say otherwise now, I just can't imagine..."Not really," I shook my head. "I've always known all my life that I am impotent. It's been part of me. Now that there's a glimmer of hope. I honestly don't know how to feel."She slipped her fingers into mine and pressed on tightly like she was trying to comfort me. "Would it bother you if I can't really impregnate you?"She paused at my question but only took a minute to respond. 'No... Besides, we've got Mateo.
SapphiraI don't know if I was imagining things but mother looked unhappy. She was looking healthier than the last time we met and she had even ditched the wheelchair but she was unhappy.Why? It also seemed no one noticed because everyone was simply happy to see her and embraces were being exchanged.When I got to hug her, even her voice sounded tearful, "I'm so glad you are home safe and sound. You don't know what Rafael has gone through while you were missing."She might be concerned and worried about me but I felt the tears weren't because of my return but something else. There also seemed to be a tense atmosphere between her and father.Call it gut feeling but I knew I was right. I just didn't voice out my concerns because no one noticed or said anything. I decided I was going to inform Rafael when we get to be alone later."Thank... you... mother... You... look... healthier... since... I... last... saw you.""Oh my, have you seen the pack's doctor yet? You sound like a broken r
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
