SOPHIA Pain. I had never thought Asher could do anything to hurt me that much again. I had tried to tell myself, everyday, for several years, that he had done the worst he could do. It was all over, rejecting my babies and I was the height of pain. But this? This was different. I could feel his p
ASHER Everything in me wanted, needed, to take her in that corridor there and then. Storm was ready to create hail if I did not. She was our mate, and we had longed for her since the very moment we set our eyes on her. However, while my fingers traced her silky skin, and my lips explored every inc
Seeing my mother in pain and knowing there was nothing I could do about it broke my heart into a million different pieces. "They sent his..." She sniffed in her tears. "They sent his body to the hospital, you know. Lord Zebedee said they are going to perform an autopsy. I... I don't know how fast
SOPHIA When he left, I made sure not to do anything to stop him. Asher was right about one thing; a pot of things had happened between us, none of which sex could solve. The only thing sex ever did was complicate stuff. Yes, even for a married couple. I swallowed hard on my saliva, heaved a sigh,
Perfect, just perfect. I found myself clutching the hem of my dress to stop myself from screaming, while a fake smile was plastered on my lips. The ringing in my ears stopped me from hearing what she was saying, but from the movement of her lips, I could tell she was still talking. "...so, that is
ASHER Never. Not in a million years had I thought I would ever find myself weeping at the feet of a woman, but if Sophia was going to be soft enough to tell me the truth, I was going to have to play all my cards right. I held on to her right leg and pressed my forehead on to her toes. "Please, So
SOPHIAAs Asher banged the door behind him, a scowl stole its way across my cheeks, causing my brows to furrow and my heart to sink into the pit of my stomach. I struggled to look around, and like a corpse, I strolled to the bed and collapsed into the dainty mattress. The soft feathers engulfed me
ASHER "I...Ivan?" Both my ears stood at alert once I heard her voice. I pressed my hands against the top of my desk and rose to my feet. Adeline also seemed pressed, even shocked that the person she had been speaking about was right behind us, but she did almost nothing to show it. "Someone's the
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
