“How’s your dad?” I asked.“He’s still in a coma,” he breathed. “Oliver is still handling all business and he’s also still patrolling the area and nearby areas with the gammas in search of any traces of Morgan or her helpers.”“Hopefully she will be found,” I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.
I narrowed my eyes at him, confused as to why he stopped me, but he stopped my question with a kiss, shoving his tongue deep into my mouth and tasting everything, I had to over.“I don’t want to finish like this,” he murmured against my lips.Blushing, I allowed him to push me onto my back and he po
Carol’s POVWhat did that vision even mean?Are Tilly and Beta Luca an item? Luca was probably in his mid to early 30s and Tilly looked to be in her early 20s, maybe even my age. I don’t know either of them very well other than what I’ve seen since I’ve been here. I don’t think I’ve seen them togeth
It’s strange to see the King interacting in such a friendly and playful manner with his Beta like Aiden would act towards Oliver.Both wore sweatpants and had their shirts off. They were covered in a thick layer of sweat, so I knew they had been here for a while.It was King Bennet who noticed me st
I narrowed my eyes and took the book from him. When I flipped through it, my eyes scanned each of the words and my brows furrowed after a few minutes.I looked up at him.“This is pure chemistry,” I told him simply. “I was top of my class in both high school and college. I loved anything that had to
Carols POVI created a healing potion and it actually worked!!I couldn’t wait to tell Aiden about this. He was going to be so proud of me.“Well done, Carol,” King Bennet proudly stated. “This potion was exceptional. However, you must be careful with this gift. It’s dangerous. With every gift comes
I nodded in agreement.“I will,” I assured him.The door to the gym opened, averting our attention. Beta Luca stood at the doorway.“Sorry to interrupt, but your meeting is here,” Luca told the King.King Bennet glanced at his watch and sighed.“I lost track of time. Tell them I’ll be there in a few
Carol’s POVI wasn’t expecting Queen Elizabeth to be standing at the doorway. She looked furious as she glared at her daughter. She folded her arms across her chest and her plump red lips thinned.“What on earth is going on here? This is not how a princess behaves Jenna Rose,” Queen Elizabeth scolde
I chuckled as I held back tears.“Sorry,” I murmured, trying to pull back, but she held me tighter.“I’ve missed you like crazy,” she breathed. “How’s life in the empire? I’ve been keeping tabs on you in the media. Seems you are kicking ass as the queen.”Since the inauguration ceremony last year, I
She flinched away for a moment, afraid that the darkness might hurt him, but I had faith that it wouldn’t because it was under her control now and the light in her wouldn’t be dim for the darkness.“It’s okay,” I assured her, bringing Caleb even closer into her view. She stared at him with admiratio
EpilogueAiden’s POV“She still won’t come out of her room?” Fiona asked, staring at the closed suite door with a frown. “It’s been a week since she killed her sister…”“She’s scared,” I told her, cradling Caleb in my arms. “Raelyn’s darkness is inside of her and she’s worried that she’s going to do
She was quiet for a moment while the Queen continued to bark orders in the background. The dark tendrils only seemed to grow more agitated with each passing moment.“Please, call the tendrils off and—”“I can’t,” she said quickly. “They don’t listen to me anymore… they listen to her more than they l
I wanted to believe that there was still good in Raelyn. That the darkness hadn’t taken over completely. I grabbed her arm, and I brought my gaze to meet hers; I wasn’t sure if my powers would work on her, but I had to try. I channeled her mind and when I found a connection, I realized it was weak,
Carol’s POVI used my powers to fight off the guards, using my mind manipulation to make them fight one another and using some of the spells I was taught to ward them off. I’ve practiced with mind manipulation a lot so I was able to do it quickly. I soon had some of them at least turning against the
“It’s not personal darling,” she said, waving off his concern. “It’s strictly business.”“Was any of it real?” He asked, shaking his head with disgust written all over his face. “Did you ever love me?”She let out a bitter laugh.“Love?” She scoffed. “Please… There’s no room for love when I have a n
My entire body went cold when I saw what they were running from. Clouds of darkness snaked through the ground, slithering like snakes. I could feel the cold darkness and the chilling aura that penetrated it.In the distance, I squinted at the figures standing in the center of the town.The Queen.St
Carol’s POV“You promised you’d help me buy a ring for Fiona,” Oliver said as he leaned against the doorframe of my suite. I had just finished changing Caleb’s dirty typer for the 5(th) time this hour when Oliver decided to bless me with his visit.Collectively, we’ve been in the Empire for 2 months
