LILLIE I could feel his gaze on me the whole evening. In fact, I had seen him looking for me in the crowd as he spoke to the princess of Crescent pack. And I could tell that he had been looking for me all evening. I could feel his body calling out to me. I tried all that I could not to take heed
“They would help you get rid of the thorn in your flesh,” I said, shrugging. There. I had said it. The features on his face softened and I realized that he probably didn’t mean what he said the night before. I didn’t even say a word as he grabbed the strap of the bra and snapped it one by one. He
DAVID “Good morning, Alpha David,” I heard two voices greet. The blinds were immediately opened. Fuck, I wasn’t even sure we shut them down yesterday. I grabbed her waist and grabbed her closer to me. She moaned, as I managed to open my eyes. The amount of drinks I had the day before were having a
LILLIE’S POV I found myself smelling Dave’s shirt as I made my way back to the servant quarters. His clothes were still fresh upon even if I had an evening full of troubles the day before. The hall was unusually silent as I made my way through. I understood that nobody was awake yet by I could sens
I had no idea what she was commending them for but I felt like it needed recording. Especially now that Jace had escaped. I didn’t trust anybody. I shakily brought up my phone again. I had to prove myself innocent to Dave and his brothers and I had to make sure that Logan was being set free. I had t
DAVID “Where the hell is my sister?” Logan asked, as he burst into my office. I decided that I was too tired to even go to the office. I guess that was the effect of spending the night with someone as energetic as Lillie. I had walked through the palace under the pretext of trying to get my head s
“You all are just a bunch of attention seeking people. Treating the masses like they don’t matter.” “Hey,” I warned. “You’re still a slave. Don’t forget. You only get the tiny privileges and that’s because of your sister.” He finally shut up at that point. We finally got to the slave quarters. I s
LILLIE Another foot making constant contact with mine and another arm poking against my stomach was enough to wake me up. I tried to stand up without even opening my eyes. That was a huge mistake because I ended up falling right back down. “She’s awake,” one woman said softly. “Well, she better
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
