SOPHIA I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't stop crying. Every single minute I found myself asking what was happening to my boys. Where were they? Were they in trouble - of course they were! Had they had anything to
"What the hell is this about, Asher? Aren't you supposed to be busy finding my boys?" "Why should I? Huh? It's not like they are my sons…" He paused, and I knew it was to watch my reaction. I couldn't hide the anger that was brewing in the pit of my stomach. It expressed itself in everything, incl
ASHER How could she? That was the only question that ran through my mind as I fixed my gaze on her, wishing she would say something and not stay silent like she had fallen into a fucking trance. Soon, she looked up at me and shook her head. In her eyes, I could see defiance, stubbornness, the unw
"Oh? So you've found your voice now, huh?" She took a step backwards. Her eyes softened as she looked into mine. "A…Asher…" "Fuck you, Sophia. Alright? And stay the fuck away from me." I tore my gaze away from her and returned to the chief detective. "Where is she now?""After threatening her,
SOPHIA Asher was hurt. Not that I could blame him, but he was also the least of my problems at that point. Words could not begin to describe my happiness when Gaston said my boys had been found. The wave of relief that washed over me, sending a warm feeling down my spine. It was only a matter of t
I jumped out of the car, literally, and ran as fast as I could to the bench. Tears gathered in my eyes as I did so. For a moment, just a little moment there, I had thought I would never see them again. "David! Daniel! Darwin!" I screamed at the top of my voice as I ran towards them. As soon as the
ASHER If I did not sense it before, it became clear to me in the few hours I spent in the abandoned warehouse trying to make sure that I caught the person who had shot Heather. She had been attacked from the top of the roof, and I was very certain the point of the attack was to keep her quiet. But
SOPHIA I knew for a fact that I had to speak to Asher at some point. No matter how much I wanted to, I knew that I could not hide away in the room forever while the rest of the world outside made up their mind on what to do with us. However, what I did not expect was the knock on my door that happ
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
