EIGHT YEARS LATER SOPHIA "It was safe to say a lot of things could change in eight years. I mean, when I took the bold step of running for my life - not that I had a choice - I did not think I would be standing here, today, in the midst of beautiful and strong minds, sharing my story." The crowd a
ASHER "Whatever shall we do, your highness?!" "He is getting worse as the days go by!" "We need help, serious help. Call whoever you need to, my king, my family and I would pay, but I cannot sit back and watch my son die in the hands of a thing we do not even know, and I..." "Silence!" I growled
SOPHIA The Saturday did start on a very good note. The boys woke up cheerful that morning, and were quick to the little chores I had assigned to all their little butts. It wasn't until after breakfast that I understood why they had been so civil that morning. When David walked to me while I was st
ASHER The sounds of flesh slapping against each other filled my room and I moaned out in pleasure, willing myself into the intoxicating feeling of the good sex I was enjoying.I moaned again, this time, in almost the same rhythm as that of the lady under me who was on the mission of burying her cl
SOPHIA The tears from my kids made me feel helpless. I could not do anything for my kids and literally, there was nothing I could do for them. I was bounded hands and feet with a cloth over my head, and my captors had not been a bit nice to keep us somewhere that was well ventilated, rather they ke
“I need to leave now! I need to take him to the hospital!” I didn't mean to yell, but the fear of loosing my son on the night of their first unplanned meeting with their 'father' scared me.Asher just stood there and stared at me, not saying a thing. He didn't seem moved by Daniel's situation. I cou
ASHER I don't know which was more difficult to believe; seeing Sophia after many years or the fact that she had gotten better within those years.I mean, the last time I saw her, she was an eighteen year old and a weak omega who couldn't make a decision without consulting me but, now she was… she w
“I know you have had a long and inconveniencing day, but, we still have to attend to the elders once we get back.” Gaston said, skipping behind me and as I made to look at him, one of the Sophia's sons -the one who had been by her right - caught my eyes.He had THAT birthmark at the back of his neck
This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. This story began in January, and since then, a lot of things have happened. I’ve been sick, I’ve had countless visits to the hospital, gotten an operation, entered final year in medical school, a lot of things actually. And finally, after nine months
SEVEN MONTHS LATER AUTHOR The sound of the door closing had everyone up on their feet. Daniel, Darwin, Lillie who had been fidgeting on her seat, Queen Sophia, even little Emilia. The doctor blinked twice, fairly surprised by how fast they had all stood. All the set of eyes that peered at her
She didn’t speak, just nodded, her tears continuing to fall silently. Darla joined me, and together, we guided Queen Sophia and Emilia downstairs, where the burial was about to take place. The palace courtyard was filled with the people of Darkmoon, all dressed in black, their faces solemn as they
Lillie’s POV *THREE WEEKS LATER* I stood outside Darla’s room, taking a deep breath before knocking softly. No response, but I knew she was in there. I could hear her crying from where I stood. Even her large twin doors had done nothing to mask the sound of her sorry. I turned mine into a ba
"You both… you both stepped up. I always knew you had it in you, but seeing it… it’s an honor." My gaze lingered on Darwin, and I squeezed his hand weakly. "You’ve done more than I ever could. The kingdom is safe because of you." Darwin’s grip tightened, and he shook his head, tears spilling down
David’s POV Blood. All over the room. Dripping from every wound in my body. I didn’t need to see my reflection in the mirror to know I had been beaten up real good. Yet, when I saw it, a bitter chuckle forced its way out of my throat. I had managed to kill them all even in my state. The fuckers
We ran toward the sound, and there she was—Darla, crumpled on the ground, her body hunched over a figure lying in a pool of blood. Logan. His chest was still, his eyes closed as if sleeping, but the deep gash in his body told a different…completely different story. Lillie fell to her knees beside
Darwin’s POV Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but there wasn’t a crown on my head. However, I knew I had stepped into David’s shoes the moment he was hospitalized. It suddenly made sense why he had been so stoic and protective of everyone. For the first time in a long time, I could feel wha
"You vile bastard!" I growled, my claws jutting out. "I'll make sure this time, you don't leave alive!" "You can't even take me on, Darwin. Weak bastard." Two large wolves tore past us and Daniel immediately shifted in his anger, going after them before they could get in. He tore them apart in s
