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
Thanking Lord Zebedee, I left the ward with three of the nurses who had accompanied me to the laboratory, where we tested the blood samples we had collected from the patients alongside the technicians and a few other nurses. It was funny how every one of them knew Phia Bailey of Crescent moon pack
ASHER It was a bad idea, one that I knew was bound to open doors for chaos, but mother wouldn’t listen, she never listens. I couldn’t tell why she decided it was best to invite Adeline, Reed, Maximus and Miranda or think it was necessary to put up a ‘united front’ in front of a doctor they knew not
Had you spoken to someone about it, things would have gone differently, and we wouldn’t have wasted all these years worrying about you not knowing that you were okay and on your journey to becoming a doctor,” mom paused to chuckle as he looked at Sophia with so much…admiration? “ It is good that you
SOPHIA My fork clicked against my plate as I dropped it. Truly, I had left my stomach empty for the dinner but, the drama had filled me up.If I had thought the room was tense before, it was worse now. With no one in the room besides Asher and I, I was only now on overly aware of the ginger laced c
ASHER Although all I wanted to do was to stop Sophia, to sit her down and hit her with all the questions I had in mind, I couldn't. I just watched her leave while I shoved the questions down my throat. The questions were only going to bring up the past. And the past, they say, should always remain
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
