"You're not angry, mummy?" He asked, sniffing in tears. I cupped his cheeks and stared into his eyes. "No baby, why would I be?" "Cause I dont…cause I don't have big plans yet?" I smiled. "Come on, baby. You're only eight years old. You do not have to have your entire life figured out now. It's
SOPHIA With all the things that had happened to me in the past two to three weeks, I would have thought the moon goddess would have at least been kind enough to spare me of the need to see some certain faces, but she didn't. I had a feeling I would soon be forced to atone for my unknown past sins.
"All Asher ever did was love you. Even while we were together. It was one of the things that made it so easy to cheat on him. The night you saw us together, it was nothing but the force of the mate bond, and alcohol laced with...I drugged him on Reed's command. He was...he was so ashamed to look at
ASHER "Oh! My darling boy!" I could trust my mother to be over dramatic at any point in time. The doctors had told me that being in a familiar environment would help me slowly remember my past. I really hoped they were right. Losing memories sucked, especially when it felt like a huge part of me
"Hey." She barked out. Chestnut brown hair wrapped in a messy bun. She had the uniform of black dress and white gloves on, yet there was something about her that seemed to stand out. A strange glow. "You had your head up, didn't you? Weren't you supposed to bow on sight of the king?" My mother tu
SOPHIA He asked me to come forward, but for some reason, I forgot how to walk. My legs refused to comply with the rest of my body, and my mind was frozen. He chose me. But why? Why me? Did he remember? Did he feel the pull we felt when we first met? The circumstances were nothing similar to when w
ASHER I corked my right brow in amusement as she slowly walked towards the bed. She moved very cautiously, as though she was terrified of walking too hard on the ground. She also - mind you - made very good effort not to look me in the eyes. It was normal to see women cower around me. Not necessar
SOPHIA I ran out of the room and out of his presence as fast as my legs could carry me. I had known it wouldn't be easy being around him, but I never imagined it would be so hard. I had thought he would be like the Asher I knew, the spoilt one who seemed to care about nothing and no one but himself
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
