Hello dear readers, I apologize for putting this book on hold for a while. I was terribly ill but now I'm recovering and can write again. Daily updates continues from today. Thank you for sticking around >3
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
SapphiraHer fingers raised and I could see a little greenish goblet forming. "It doesn't matter. If I can't kill you today, I'll find a way soon. You will never get away with messing with my curse!"In a twinkle of an eye, Vespera threw the goblet in my direction, specifically towards my stomach. At that moment, the only thing I thought of doing was shielding my stomach.The goblet pierced into my delicate skin and it felt like I was prickled all over with fire. Vespera wasn't satisfied. She threw another bigger one at me. I fell to my knees, gasping as blood trickled out of my mouth and my nose. I couldn't hold on any longer and my knees gave way.As I slipped out of consciousness, I could hear her say, "You should never have interfered. Sapphira, I'll be the death of you!"________RafaelShe was bleeding from the neck, the nose and the mouth. I was terrified even after the pack's shaman had been sent for. It wasn't advisable to call Federico. This was a spiritual attack, not som
Luna LuciaMy children were shocked to hear what I said and had to get their father. I was scared and quaked with so many emotions. There was no going back now.If I tell them what happened, they will be able to find a way to get Vespera out of our lives. But on the other hand, this means... All the trust, the faith and love they have for me will be lost forever.No... I don't want this. I have held these quads in my hands since they were babies. I might not have given birth to them but they were mine.I can deal with Santino hating me as it's something I have already experienced before but the worst thing in the world that could ever happen to a mother is knowing that her children hate her.If I tell them what was between Vespera and I now, will they still love me? Will they still regard me as their mother?After all, no mother would ever wish harm for their own children. That title was something I didn't deserve. I have only been trying to convince myself otherwise all this while."
