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
But I was half naked. I glared at him but he was more focused on my breasts than my face this time. His fingers began to circle around my shoulder and he bent a little before catching my buttocks underneath his hands and lifting me off the ground with so much ease. I gasped and he laughed befo
Darla's POV; I woke up with a start. I was suddenly feeling nauseous and when I tried to climb out of the bed, I realized that Logan had his arms wrapped around my waist. I immediately pushed his arm off and flew out of the bed, rushing into the bathroom as I retched all the content of my belly in
"The doctor will be here, soon," he said. "I sent one of the guards to get the doctor so we can know what's wrong." "Thank you, Logan," I sighed. "You're almost putting yourself into trouble for my sake. How do I even thank you?" "You don't need to do that. Your health matters more than anything
"You'll be fine, okay?" She whispered, like she was reassuring herself than she was reassuring men and I nodded, staring into her eyes and seeing how it swirled with emotions. I did not want to imagine how it was for her to have a son in his sick bed. David was my brother too and the past few days w
Lillie's POV: I paced from one end of the room to the other, trying to come up with words to say to my brother. Logan stood, head bowed low, at the other end of the room. I could tell he was feeling extremely bad, but not guilty. He finally stood tall, steeling his expression as he stared ri
"It doesn't have to make sense, Logan," I took his hand in mine. "It doesn't have to. Take a look at me and Darwin. Does it make sense that a Prince would marry a slave? A banished one at that." "The three brothers have always been head over heels for you," He gave me a funny look. "Also, you're a
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
