Alpha Raymond sat on a cushion opposite Katherine. She sized him up and couldn't help but be bewildered once more. Alpha Raymond is a strong Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack, but he was plagued by an incurable illness, which seems impossible because werewolves have incredible healing ability, but there he was, dying.“You must think of me as a frail man. But I assure you, I am more capable than your heartless husband.” Alpha Raymond spoke with fierceness, but that was just to hide his pain.“I never thought of you as weak. I just wish Luciano was just as calm and gentle as you are.” Kate sides with a hint of sadness in her voice. But her words only made the sick Alpha burst into a fit of laughter.“Hahahaha, you think Luciano is unkind? you should have seen his grandfather, the great Manton. He was known as the 'Loveless Man' as he felt no love even for his mate 'Simran Dotchius'” Manton gestured for her to draw a bit closer.“Luciano's attitude is inherited from his grandfather, and al
“Are you mad?” Anastasia said and punched him on his back.“Shut up! If you want to get out of here,” he said.He scaled the wall like it was nothing. Securing her in his arms, he jumped down to the ground effortlessly on his feet.Shocked as hell, she looked at him. But he was now running with her to the boundary of the kingdom. For the first time, she heard the screams and shouts of the soldiers. The palace has been alerted of her abduction. It was now a matter of time till they found her. They were Fae soldiers.“I think you better leave me here, Starlight,” said Simran.“They are going to be here any minute.”The man gave her a feral grin. With one hand holding Simran by the waist, Starlight leapt almost ten feet high and tossed her into the air. She suppressed a shriek for fear they would be caught. As the world turned around and moved in slow motion she found she was falling, limbs flailing towards the ground. But before she touched the ground, she found herself over the soft fu

Even though she wanted to know what next, Simran stared at the man in front of her. Her mind was numb, her face blank. Her gaze travelled to his bleeding thigh. The man had managed to disguise himself as Starlight for two months. How was that possible for a werewolf? She studied him closely to understand him.Manton looked at Simran, turned her, curled his hand around her neck and pushed her to a carriage that was waiting for her. He waved his hand in the air and ordered his men.“We move immediately.”There were five men on their horses and a woman who already had Nyles hauled across her horse.Manton opened the carriage door and pushed Simran to sit down on the bench. He got in and sat opposite. He pounded on the carriage and they started to move at a rapid pace.Simran was surprised at the turn of events. She was silent as the carriage sped across the dirt road. When she peeked out of the window, she saw the mist rolling around them as if covering them like a permanent drape. She f
Niles came huffing as she stepped into the carriage.“Milady!” she said as she hugged Simran tightly. A smile broke on Simran's face. Niles started fussing around her.“How are you?” she asked, examining her hands and her body in general.“These bastards didn't let me meet you for three days straight. I had to ride with that stupid woman Darla!” she grumbled.“For three days we have been riding constantly, stopping only for not more than a few hours to give the horses rest. My buttocks and thighs are numb. They ache and they are sore.” she said rubbing her buttocks.“I have never been subjected not this kind of hardship, Milady.” Niles started crying.“We must go back to Wingx as soon as possible. I didn't know that Starlight was such a trickster, for a year, how could he stay like Starlight?” she said with a frown pulling herself together.“Wait! Am I making sense?”Simran started laughing.“I am fine Nyles, and it's good to see you.” then she looked at the fur she was wrapped with a
Niles scowled and in a disbelieving voice said“Milady, you must jesting!” she looked at Simran's calm expressions. She smacked her head.“This plan of yours is impossible! Who knows if Iona is even alive? There is a one-in-a-million chance that she is alive. It's ridiculous to even think about her.”Simran put her plate on the bench of the carriage and took Nyles' hand in hers.“Don't be scared Nyles. Even if there's a one-in-a-million chance of finding Iona, I will take it. Raul will send his forces to find me, but he can never kill me. And do you know why?” there was a small frown on her forehead.“Because according to the laws of Wingx, he has to marry me to be the king. There is no way he can harm me, and there is no way I will let him harm you. so relax.”Niles removed her hand from Simran's and burst out“Relax! Do you know the kind of power that man wields? He is a Fae prince for God's sake. He is a Fae Prince for God's sake! My family and I are going to be called Fallen forev
Macilleus stared in Simran's sapphire eyes and said,“It will take another week for us to get out of this realm. You can thank me then.”Simran was so grateful to this man. Her lips curved in an innocent smile. This man had been so loyal to her. Maybe she should ask him to stay with her. Loyalty was something she had always valued, and something which she craved because there was none in the world she was in. Only Nyles.“Where does this road end? Which town?” she asked. Once she's out of this forest of Wingx, she would leave... disappear.“Quaint little towns dot the periphery of this forest. The nearest one is Oraid, it's the territory of Busan,” he replied.“Oh!” she bit her lip, she would be leaving him after that. She would simply slip away with Nyles. Moreover, she wondered as to why Manton would want to stay with her. She had burdened him so much already. He will want to stay away from her.She changed the topic,“I heard you joined the ranks of the Kingdom as a soldier a year
Everyone around her became absolutely silent.The leaves of the trees were bejeweled with frost, shining yellow, blue, red and gold under the grey skies. Although the mist rolled along the ground, she saw fallen logs damped with moss littered around. And somewhere from deep inside the forest, she heard a buzzing... a call... a powerful energy... it thrummed... Simran shivered.When she was only seven, thin papery wings had unfurled for the first time from her back.Transparent with silvery mesh of pulse lines, forking along the delicate bone that arched at the top, she had spread them slowly under her nanny's guidance, and as she spread them, the pulse lines had flickered like lightening. Her nanny had squealed in pure delight. But that was the last time it had happened. Raul had slashed the bone of her left wing with his sword, permanently damaging it. The pain had left her unconscious. When she woke up, her nanny was gone... forever.Three years later, her parents were dethroned and
