SOPHIA “ This is your room,” one of the men said, both turning quickly to leave the room, still holding on to Darwin and David, who had woken up during the drive back here.“And the kids?” I asked with a panicked face.“ Their room is here,” he pointed to the door next to mine," just next to yours.
“Hey, hold on, young man.” I said to David and turned to the maid with a small smile. “ I'm sorry but, I need to inquire something about the food. There are some things my kids don't eat, so, I need to make sure it is not contained in any dish, like garlic, they don't eat garlic, is there garlic in
ASHER Clouds of murmuring filled the air as I stepped into the courtroom. Elders who stood by the door bowed their heads in greeting only out of obligation - that, I knew - and murmured some words as I walked past them. “The Alpha is here,” Gaston announced, grateful that I came back in time to s
"My child was inflicted by the plague, she has been in the hospital for a month now, and all my savings, my lord, all my savings are invested in treating her but, not for one day have I noticed any change in her health and I no longer have the money to continue keeping her in the hospital.” Tears b
SOPHIA I made sure to hold my head high as I walked into the courtroom when Asher's assistant told me to as I came to stand before the elders of Dark moon pack.It had been my dream, eight years ago -when I believed I would be Asher's Luna- to stand in front of the elders, but right now, today, I w
ASHER Saying I was awestruck would be an understatement. I was more than that.I was beyond impressed by Sophia's ability to handle the elders effortlessly. Never in a million years would I have imagined, would I have believed that Sophia, the Sophia Bailey I used to know, would have the courage to
Of course, not only did she become more beautiful, she also got smarter. I was hitting the tip of my thumb against my index finger and tapping my feet quietly on the floor, trying to hide my irritation. She appeared after eight years as a happy mother with kids who obviously was living a happy life
SOPHIA The cool breeze of the morning, which came in through the window which I was seated before, ran through my body making me shiver at interval. I had been in the room all day watching Daniel play with his siblings, I had spent the previous night by his side at the hospital, and we came back im
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
