Brown. Chestnut brown. "Brown-haired woman, you say?" "Yes." He placed his right hand on his head and began stroking the sides of his head with his fingers. "I always have a headache just thinking about it." He dropped his hand. "It's the same dream every time." He continued. "She comes to me a
ASHER I kissed her, and that singular action caused my insides to scream for joy. Once my hands dropped to the sides of her waist and my fingers grabbed her skin gently, the soft moan that escaped from her lips could have turned me into a feral beast. She smelt of lavender, and her taste… Fuck! He
SOPHIA "YOU!" The word rolled off her tongue, as bitter and furious as that of a hungry and venomous snake. Queen Claire's blue eyes glared into mine, filled with tears and a hatred I more than recognized. I stood there, shivering and confused, not understanding anything that had happened in the
SOPHIA I rose from the bed, only to notice how feeble my knees felt underneath me. I tried my best to keep my feet rooted to the ground. While I knew I had to be wary of the Queen from that very moment, I also knew that I had to fight for my family, and stay by Asher's side no matter what. My sons
ASHER It all came back to me. It was in a rush at first, but after I closed my eyes and gave in to the darkness, I was able to put bits and pieces back together again. I saw it all, right from the very beginning. She was only eight years old, and I was yet to turn thirteen when I saw her for the
SOPHIA He quirked his right brow as his eyes traveled up to my face. "Say no more." And he didn't give me the chance to. Asher grabbed my right hand and pulled me in a swift motion that had me planting my knees on each side of his hips just to stop myself from falling. For someone who had narrowl
"I love you, Sophia. I love you so…so fucking much it's killing me." Don't let it kill you, please. I still need you. I'm going to need you for a very long time. "I'm never letting you leave me again. And I'm never leaving you." How could he speak so clearly with how hard and fast he was fucking m
ASHER It was safe to say it would have been the best, longest, and calmest sleep I had experienced in a long time. Sophia was by my side, where she belonged, and everything felt just right. Yet, there was something in my mind that continued to bother me time and time again. It was my mother. Alon
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
