SOPHIA. Asher had to attend to a few things and he left, not without promising to return back to me later in the day. I ate and took a nap and the next time I woke up, it was past noon. "Someone is here to see you." One of the maids announced and I gestured to her to allow whoever it was to come
But I couldn't stop myself from peering down at the photo. In the first picture, a young Hannah was seated before a handsome man who definitely looked like a younger version of my father. They were in a cafe, tall glasses of iced coffee seated before them both on the table and she was smiling brigh
"I was!" Her voice matched mine. Her eyes were filled with pure pain. "I was curious about you. I wanted to know where you were but I was scared, Sophia. I was scared that if I ever saw you, I was never going to look back! I had to keep my past life a secret even though I yearned so much to be with
ASHER. Two days later and an assurance that my boys and Sophia were safe, I decided to pay my mother a visit. Addressing her as the woman who birthed me felt strange. Everything she had done in the past, further proved the fact that she wasn't my mother. Not at all.. The woman I knew was the one
I scoffed. "I don't care what he says to you but all I know is that you deserve all of these. I wanted to execute you. Finally, you know, end your life and get it over with but it's a waste. I can't just let you die and maybe find peace. You need to suffer! You need to suffer for the pain you caused
SOPHIA. The flowery scents dominated by marigolds and daffodils wafted into my nose. I was flanked by two ladies dressed in pristine yellow dresses, a huge contrast from the white wedding gown I had on. Classic music played in the background as we made our procession towards the dais at the other
A smile spread across his lips and he nodded. This time, the whole guests erupted into laughter. He closed his eyes. "I do. I do." He slipped the ring through my fingers and kissed the tip softly before stepping back as a collective awwws were chorused. The Priest turned to me. "Sophia, do you t
SOPHIA. "I miss the boys," I whined, leaning against Asher who had his arms wrapped around my waist. He turned to look at me, a broad grin on his face. "I miss them too. But we're on our honeymoon and there's literally no room for missing anyone right now," Lowering his body slightly, he tightene
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
