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
"Then what is this?! Why are you here? With him?" "Because I want to be? Did that cross your mind?" Her reply was even more confusing. What exactly was going on? "That's exactly what I need to know. What is the reason behind this? I…" "Now clearly my presence here ruined something for you. Would
ASHER Sophia was up to something, that was for sure. I had noticed how she stayed quiet for most of the dinner. Her eyes constantly roamed around the room as if searching for something in the eyes of every single one of us. And when she called Adeline out and technically pulled her away from the r
AUTHOR Adeline Blane Borne meant every word she had said to Sophia - a girl who had been raised as her sister. Adeline had never liked Sophia for obvious reasons, especially that goody-two-shoes attitude of hers. It was one of the many things about Sophia that sickened Adeline to her stomach. It wa
The next thing she knew, her feet were dangling in the air, and her airflow was suddenly cut short with the tight grip of Reed’s right hand around her neck, strangling her. He pressed her back against the wall as he glared at her. His blue orbs had turned pitch black; the color of his wolf’s furiou
SOPHIA “Who… who is this?” Why did he sound frightened? I rolled my eyes and my grip on the receiver tightened. He definitely knew who was speaking, it showed in the manner his voice trembled. “Don’t be silly.” I snarled. “You definitely know who this is.” “So… Sophia?” I frowned. “You’ve got t
ASHER “Good morning, your majesty.” Gaston called out from behind me once I walked past him. I didn’t stop to look at him, perhaps it was because at that point, my mind was more occupied with trying to keep Sophia safe. She was swimming in dangerous waters, I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me tha
SOPHIA Avalanche Mall was one of the biggest in Dark moon pack, which was only expected because it belonged to the royal family of Dark Moon. To which I belonged. As I climbed down from the taxi, I made sure that my hoodie was properly worn on my head and my shades covered my eyes just the way I n
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
