MirandaSulfa tablets have been discontinued for the past three decades. I wasn’t even alive when they discontinued it. However, compared to other methods and medicines that are more commonly used these days, it’s easier to mass produce, which is why I assumed Lily brought it back to Moonlit Labs.W
“You know how Ella and I went to dinner at Evan’s house? But you had to stay home?” I ask. Noah nods, avoiding my gaze. I have to push through despite my heart ripping to shreds inside my chest. “You had to stay home because your father didn’t know about you just yet. His life is very complicated an
Sebastian“Miranda? Why are you calling me?” I speak into the phone’s microphone, looking around the parking lot.It’s almost been a complete twenty-four hours from the last time I saw her. A full day with no Miranda. There have been no texts, no calls, no medicine updates, and no office visits. Nee
“We want to play red light, green light! Can you please be the traffic officer?” She asks in a sickeningly sweet tone.How does Miranda combat this? I’m weak against Ella’s charm!“Sure. I don’t see why not,” I confirm their choice and they cheer. Evan quickly explains the rules to me, guiding me to
MirandaMy foot taps against the white tile floor, arms crossed over my chest. I glance at Jessica behind me, who shrugs in response. Next to her sits a table with pieces of a carefully constructed demonstration we put together.It’s been two weeks since Sebastian, and I guess Lily, approached me ab
Sebastian nods his head, his eyes burning into my skin. He leans over to his Beta, whispering something into his ear. His Beta nods and pulls out a notepad, scribbling on it.“Jessica and I are also working on a version where it can be ingested instead of it being a direct application. We think that
SebastianLeaving Miranda’s lab fills me with dread. I don’t know when I’m going to see her again. There are the times I see her at school, other times when she picks the kids up from my house, or when I pick Evan up from hers, but I don’t like the uncertainty after she told me to leave.Her admissi
Lily & HarperLily storms into the Silvertail mansion, the door shaking in the doorframe from her forceful slam. She throws her purse to the ground. It slides against the marble floor, hitting the wall.“Darling? Is that you?” Harper’s voice echoes from the nearby study. Lily stomps towards the dire
“Your mind has a very active imagination,” Sebastian muses.“I think it is my anxiety coming for me,” I chuckle and he joins me, his hand moving from my chin to cup my cheek.“If something bad were to happen, I promise that I will shield you from it. I will protect you from whoever wants to harm us
MirandaLaughter floats from the party down below. People dance and hug, drinks occupying their hands. The day felt like it passed by too soon but has also lasted long enough to give me memories of a lifetime. It became slightly overwhelming, though, with constant eyes on me and with everyone dying
“Drink to your humble loss, False King,” his gravelly voice calls out. he gestures to the glass, waving his hand. “Drink! Your king demands it!”“As you wish, your Highness,” I nod and raise the glass in the air, tilting it towards him. The cool rim connects with my bottom lip. The liquid burns down
SebastianNot being able to look at Miranda during my dinner with the Rogue King is torture. I can feel my muscles tense every time he laughs and yanks on her chain. Whenever a look of pain flashes across her face, I can feel myself growing more and more angry. I have to hold back the urge to not lu
MirandaMy body threatens to give out on me under the heat of the summer sun. There is barely any time to breathe before Lily, Harper, and my father throw another extreme task at me. Some of them have been damn near impossible to complete but I get them done much to their dismay.My skin is painted
SebastianThe car ride back inside my country’s borders is chaotic. Noah, Ella, and Evan sob, clinging to me as if I am their life preserver now that their mother, my beloved Miranda, is gone.Even I feel lost without her presence here to guide us. She is the rock that kept us grounded and yet she h
“Which one?” I turn my face back to his. “You’ve sent plenty of them.”“The one where I asked you who you would rather save,” he leans forward. The metal on his uniform clangs against the metal of the throne, his bones loudly cracking. I hold back a flinch, the sounds sending chills down my spine. “
SebastianTwo large Delta officers sit beside me. Their gun muzzles are aimed at the roof of the car. The car is wide enough for all of us to fit comfortably and is built for city based warfare, but the bumps on the dirt road cause us to bump into each other. It’s way too close for comfort.“Alright
“I knew that would come back to bite me in the ass,” Sebastian chuckles and stands up. He drops my hands and leans against my desk. I’m quick to move the papers out of the way before they can crinkle or rip.My employees deserve that.“You can handle yourself, no?” Dissatisfaction is prominent in my
