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
The cold slowly seeped away from me, inviting the warmth oozing off his body in torrents. A moan escaped my throat and I deepened the kiss, scouring his corners. He moaned and laid me on the sandy beaches. By now, the setting sun rays had lessened the effect of the sun's beams against our skin and a
SOPHIA.Our honeymoon had been nothing but a bliss. And Asher made sure of that. We had been through a lot in the past few months, and we thought it would be a good idea to spend sometime together while the kids wrapped up their academic year at the boarding school. I'd never walked in a dress as
"You planned on leaving me to step out myself?" I gasped, my eyes wide in faux hurt as I slipped my arm into his. "Of course. But when I remembered how good your dress looked, I had a change of mind. Wouldn't want the party ending before it even begins." "You're impossible, Asher." I hit his arm
ASHER.Our honeymoon began and ended on grand style. I made sure of that. Few days later, we returned back to the palace in readiness for the triplets' birthday. We touched down at the airport about thirty minutes ago and Sophia was fast asleep in my arms. It was dark out and the ride back to the
Pushing to my feet, I wiped my face before pulling the door open and stepping out. Sophia must have noticed I was no longer in bed because she was already awake and sitting in the bed. She turned when she heard the sound of my footsteps coming into the bedroom and as soon as she saw me, a look of
TRIGGER WARNINGASHER. I stood by the river bank, watching as her body got attached to a bamboo shaft. The river led right into the seas on the east coast and after the required rituals had been carried out, she was pushed into the water and left to float away. I didn't wait another minute, just
"You can't do this."She whimpered softly before her voice morphed into a piercing scream. "You can't do this!"Sadly, I could. Her father had given my permission to punish her as the law seemed fit. I did it. I stood at the side, watching as they filed out of the dungeon, their hands tied behind
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
