That was the place Adeline had presented him with proof of everything she had said that morning. I pushed the door open and turned on the light with the switch that rested beside the door. Grateful it was open, I allowed my eyes drink in the sight of the two mighty shelves that made up the left wal
Hi guys, good morning from my side of the world! It's your favorite author again (permit me to be this bold, lol.) I was going to just post the next chapter and move on, but I knew it wouldn't be fair to you guys who have waited so long (5 days) for me. I had such huge plans for this month, and
AUTHOR Reed Borne was ready to leave the palace first thing that morning. More because he couldn't bear to smile at Asher one more time than anything else. The act he had been made to put on was everything but soothing, and it didn't help that Sophia continued to look down at him in such a condesce
AUTHOR Reed Borne pulled into the driveway of his home at exactly 5:40am. He smiled when he saw the light that emanated from his bedroom window. He knew she would be awake by that time of the day, she always was."Some things never change, do they?" He asked himself as he shut his car door. It was
"Reed, what are you…" "I am trying so hard to be calm here, baby. You're really going to have to help me out. Do you understand?" Frightened, she nodded. He pulled his hands away from her and sucked in a deep breath. The little exchange between them had taken more energy than he had thought it wo
SOPHIA Asher did not speak to me throughout the next day. I told myself it was because he was majorly busy in one meeting or another in the courtroom. When he wasn't in the palace court, he was out on one visitation or another. Gaston accompanied him on all of these visits. He was slowly getting hi
She played with me again. My gaze shifted to Reed who was now embracing Asher. Both of them played me again. She pulled away from me and cupped my cheeks. "Come now, there's so much I have to tell you!" How was she able to be so cruel while whispering to me, and so excited while speaking out lou
SOPHIA By the time Asher was done apologizing for the awkwardness of the dinner, the food was already cold. So, we all made it our point of duty to empty the plates without saying another word, knowing how well we could get distracted by the next hot topic. Once we were done eating and the servant
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
