He nodded. "I wanted to go hunting on my own. But I stayed here hungry." "That's awful." He nodded. "But it's all my fault. I didn't listen to my father and I got pushed for it. I deserved it." I immediately shook my head. "No, you don't. You didn't deserve to be locked up in this smelly place
DARWIN Six Days ago... David kept pacing from one end of the room to the other, his fingers in his hair as he tried to keep calm. "I'm done waiting for her to return," David stopped in front of the table, planting both palms on the surface of the table. "Let us go into the woods to search fo
Daniel's statement did nothing but increase David's temper. He was livid now and ready to dive and attack. I decided to step in. "Don't you think finding Lillie first could lead to Jace? From what we can pick out from his actions, he has proven to be very sleek with his movements. But if we find
DAVID Four days. It's been four days since Darwin decided to embark on the journey into the forest in search of Lillie. And we were yet to hear from them. "Son, are you okay? You look dull. What's wrong?" My mother asked Daniel and I as we ate at the breakfast table. "I am okay, mother."
LILLIE All I wanted to do was wipe that grin from her face with a blow to the head. One that would take her out in a matter of seconds so I could find my escape. But I was a hostage here and my hands and legs were tied up. Hermes was too uncomfortable standing there so he walked out, further m
"Better behave." Carla warned before falling back. "Come with me," Said the woman who had been called to attend to me. I took her in. She was thin and gangly, her blond hair touching her waist. She was made to be a breeder. Attractive features and an attractive face, covered with a pristine white
LILLIE The room was soon filled with men and women alike, all curious to know what was wrong. Whimpered, I tried to push to a sitting position but was hit across by the man who was just about to penetrate him. His anger and disgust for me was palpable. Grabbing my hair, ye yanked me forward an
LILLIE When he told me I was going to die, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t fight it. From what I had come to make of these people, there was no need to. A series of dry coughs racked through me, pulling at my chest and hurting really badly. I pushed my face from the wet gooey floor to a sitting
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
