SebastianMy house is in chaos. Strangers and employees fly by me, swerving away at the last second, their phones attached to their ears as they carry various items in their arms. A cart filled with white flowers darts by me, sending me stumbling backward. I catch myself and take a deep breath, head
MirandaUnder my bathroom light, the dress Sebastian bought for me holds a very, very deep plum color. I didn’t notice it under the dim lighting of the private parlor, instead focusing on Sebastian and his lips. My focus shifts to the golden accents of the dress. My fingertips graze against the cool
The warm lights run up the front walls of the mansion, tangled with the green vines. A red carpet runs up the stone steps, leading all the way to the open front doors. A faint sound of live music can be heard through the house.It’s breathtaking.“Ma’am,” his Beta’s voice snaps me from my trance. He
MirandaSebastian’s touch never left me. At all times, he had his touch against me, whether it was his fingers laced with mine or his hand planted firmly on my waist, giving it a squeeze whenever he grew bored of a conversation we were having with another noble wolf. Hours pass and my cheeks have p
My cheeks heat up as Sebastian turns to me. He holds his hand out and I take it, our fingers slipping together. I look below and meet the surprised gazes of many people. They whisper amongst themselves, eyes trained on me. Insecurity flares throughout my body but I remain where I stand, knowing that
SebastianI pull away from Miranda, looking down at her. Her purple eyes pierce into mine. I want to steal her away from this place, to soothe her of all her sorrows and complications that hurts her.How could I have been so blind? Lily’s abuse, and her father and step-mother’s, has claimed a part o
MirandaSebastian’s house has finally cleared out, leaving nothing but a mere remembrance of the events that just transpired. Scattered confetti and cocktail napkins litter the floor. I watch as a cleaning crew enters the house. They pass me, bowing their heads, and disappear up the stairs.A smile
“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
