Our bodies inched close as seconds passed and his eyes lingered on my cleavages for a moment before he cupped the back of my neck and looked down at me. "I have missed you. Terribly so." "And so have I," I admitted with all honesty. "I have missed you. Terribly. I can't lie." His smile widened a
Lillie's POV: I was uncomfortable at first, as I had never done it before. Darwin asking me to touch myself for him, felt slightly strange in an exciting way. "I have not done it before." I whispered under my breath in embarrassment. "You haven't ever touched yourself before?" He asked, raisi
Darwin leaned against the bed post beside him to catch his breath before straightening and slipping into the bed beside me. "Tired?" He asked as his hand rested his hand on my feet that dangled from the bed. "No way," I replied and slipped into his arms. "I want more." Darwin cocked his head
Several days had passed, but Darwin and I still remained steadfast. We met at random spots, shared kisses in dark corners and made love to each other once it was dark. And tonight, while getting ready to clean, all I think of was meeting Darwin at our usual spot and making love. I drew close t
He was getting harsher and it almost felt like it was a worse version of Daniel speaking. "The only reason your head isn't decaying somewhere in the city is becoming you sold your life to be a slave to us," He pointed right at me. "The only reason you can live a decent life, the only reason you a
Darwin: As I walked down the hall, all I thought about was Lillie and how we were going to spend our night. I was so lost in thought that I didn't see who was in front of me. I crashed into a slender body, my hand immediately stretching out to catch her before she fell. It was Lillie. My hea
Lillie's POV: I was doing last minute cleaning for the day, as there wasn't a lot to be done, when Logan rushed into the wash house, breathing heavily. I straightened and watched as he bent, pressed his palm into his belly and continued to heave, raising my brows in askance. "What's wrong this t
I slowed down once David, Darwin and Daniel stepped out and stood at the porch, which I had to admit, was quite a mistake. They should have remained at the balcony and I understood they were probably this close to make the people trust them, but that wasn't going to quench the anger and penury fuell
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
