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
Lily, Harper, & AlphaThey were left stranded on the outskirts of the Alpha King’s estate with ripped clothes and battered faces. The Alpha’s neck bleeds, his blood having been drawn from the Alpa King himself, unleashing his fury upon the man. It puzzled the Alpha.Why would anyone care that much f

“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

“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

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
