LILLIE Breakfast with the queen was one thing I had definitely never planned for. What was I to wear? How was I to act? Wining and dining with the royal family? How did I get this far? My hand maid, whose name I had come to learn was Ophelia, helped me get dressed. She picked out a green flowery p
Breakfast ended on a good accord, and I stayed behind till almost everyone was gone, because Queen Sophia would not stop talking to me. It was as though she was working so hard to add me to the conversation. She must have not wanted me to feel left out, and I found that really sweet. Alpha David ro
LILLIEIt had been days now and I still had not recovered from what happened to me. The news about the princes shook me more than I thought it had. Lying on the bed, my gaze was fixed to the ceiling as thoughts flew through my mind. I did not remove my gaze from the ceiling because I felt there was
Lillie“Follow me.” I did just that. I needed to know. I needed to see what he wanted to show me since he said that he can help me.“But, why are you interested in helping me?” I asked him as we went on a walk, away from the palace garden.“Don't you want to be helped?” he asked and I shrugged.I
“My father was murdered by Alpha Asher, the triplets father. Just as your father was.If I was not royalty, I would have been banished as well.”I swallowed hard. “Your father was Reed Morris?” He shook his head. “Ivan. Guilty by association.” The pain that flashed in his eyes caused my heart to
Lillie’s POV I had barely run my hands across the spine of some of the books hung in the shelves when the door to the library creaked open. Instinctively, I turned my attention towards the door, just to see David walk in. Pure hatred and rage dwelled in his eyes as he stared at me. My heart thundered wildly behind my chest. I wasn't scared of him, but I had no idea why my insides always acted funny even from the slightest reaction from him. Some tables and shelves separated David and I, but it did nothing to protect me from fury radiating from his body. I was sure that if I went any closer, I would be burned to bits by David's anger. David turned away from me immediately, almost making me rethink if I had really seen the hatred in his eyes. Even if I was uncertain, the burning sensation on my skin was more than enough to remind me. Anger burned bright in me and I clutched my hands by my side. I couldn't do a lot of danger, so it was best if I reeled my anger in. That, and the fact
LILLIE Fresh flowers and beautiful trees. The garden of Dark Moon palace still remained my favorite thing about it. I leaned forward into the metallic rails and heaved a sigh. I had made quite a bold choice earlier that day; a choice I was seriously rethinking as I stood in the balcony of my room,
LILLIE It was a silent drive to the venue of the meeting, mostly because I kept to myself and wouldn’t say a word. The only thing that stayed on my mind was what Jace had said. Did I really have that power over alpha David? Or was I just being kept around until the princes could figure out what to
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
