Darwin: Things were going better than I expected. I thought it wasn't, but here I was tonight, in bed, with the woman I so loved. My mother supported our union and she was happy that we were getting married. Although, the product of our announcement and her joy took a toll on David and Darla.
I remained frozen in shock, eyes wide as I watched her bend over and grab her clothes, slipping it on. The whole time, I remained seated, my fingers sinking into the bed as I held back from going over to her and snatching the dress from her hand so I could fuck her there and then. It was pure tor
Darla's POV: Today, I was supposed to spend the rest of the day with my mother and Lillie. It was a way of bonding with Lillie who was the new addition to the family. But it got postponed. One of the maids walked into the room while I got dressed, informing me that my mother has somewhere im
"How do I take this off?" Logan asked looking really confused. I laughed and pushed my body towards him so that my back was arched and my corseted chest rested on his chest. He sighed and closed his eyes before he put both of my hands behind me. I loosened a rope and the corset came off. He pulled i
Darwin's POV: "Daniel!" I snapped, rushing at him as he crashed into his seat. "What's wrong?" "David," He frowned and shook his head like was trying to convince himself of something. "He was rushed to the hospital last night." "What? Why? Did something go wrong?" "I don't know," Daniel repl
"Coma," The doctor replied. "From what I can tell, his heart is taking the brunt of a reaction. In a few hours, we will find out." "His heart?" Daniel muttered under his breath. "His heart? David is the healthiest person I know! What's wrong with his heart?!" I grabbed him just as he was about t
Darwin: "Darwin, I know you're nervous, but I trust you'll do well." Lillie was with me, holding my hands. She had a reassuring smile on her face. "Are you sure?" I asked her. "The people are going to be very critical of me. They're used to David at least. They don't even like him but he's ab
Lillie's POV: Everything went well. I was so happy for Darwin. Hell, mostly happy for everyone else. The oppression was over. Funds had been allocated to the rebuilding of roads and infrastructure. Darwin made sure of that. After everything, a small celebration was held. Darwin was really
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
