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
ASHER It wasn't fair. None of it was. As early as seven a.m. the next morning, the elders were present at the throne room. I made sure to call a neutral doctor to conduct the test. Doctor Theodore was a specialist at Onyx Herald's Royal hospital, and I contacted him once I made the decision to ge
SOPHIA Those three sentences read aloud in the presence of the entire royalty of Dark Moon were more than enough to change the fate of my life and that of my sons seated beside me.From the corner of my right eye, I could see David shift uncomfortably in his seat while holding on to Darwin, who see
ASHER As instructed, the next morning started on a busy note. The host of Palace staff and guards worked to make sure that the garden was ready for my... Sophia and my wedding. To be honest, I could not exactly say I was looking forward to it. After all, I was about to swear the rest of my life to
SOPHIA "I hate him! I hate him so fucking much! I fucking hate him!" I continued to kick the walls of the corridors that mocked my predicament as I hurried over to the room my boys would be in. They were the only ones capable of comforting me at that difficult part of my life. Damn! Believe me whe
ASHER Sophia Bailey, my first love, stood underneath the dim light of the moon, wide-eyed as though she had just seen a ghost. From where I sat, it was easy to sniff in her fear. The sleeveless straps of her dress and the low neckline aided in magnifying the goosebumps that rose at the surface of h
"It's not fair, Asher. You treat me like I am a treacherous liar, but you are the one who didn't want them in the first place." Again?! I could barely contain the anger that was rising in me, and she decided to come back with this sob story again?! "How ridiculous could you possibly get, Sophia?
SOPHIA "Stop! Bring him back! It's not possible! It can't be!" When I ran after Asher in a bid to force him to have the difficult conversation he had just walked out of, his mother crying at the top of her voice, and Asher standing still and staring at his father's rock hard body was the last thin
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
