THE ALPHA'S CORPSE BRIDE 37
ADALINE The entire room remained silent, I froze as if any step I took might have led to my impending doom.Nyla froze as well, her expression unreadable of what she would do next."Stay away from me." I warned her as the mummurs ensue. It didn't matter if everyone here spoke bad about me, if they see it fit for Nyla to joke about the loss about my child I didn't need their admirations. It felt as if every single thing I tried to do was set to fail in the first place, why was I willingly walking into a trap?"Lady Nyla, that's too harsh, don't you think?" Camila interjected, her voice laced with a mix of concern and warning. But I was beyond reasoning, my anger and hurt boiling over like a pot about to overflow.Before Camila could continue, I raised my hand, my eyes flashing with a fierce intensity. "Enough, Camila. I don't need your protection." My voice was low and even, but the rage burning within me was palpable.But Camila was just getting started. Her eyes blazed with a fierce

GRANT The Hazem ring was an heirloom gifted to my mother by my father. Most stories going about the ring claims you can use it to see Demons. That ring was just my mother's wedding band. So I don't understand how someone could spend that much on it for a bit."Didn't I give you the ring to rid off years ago?" I frowned at Georgiana as she scoffed. "Maybe I was holding on to it as a sign of our friendship, you ungrateful bastard." I will never hear the end of it now."And you think to finally poach it off now?" I asked shaking my head in disappointment."Maybe it's some sort of sign your highness. Even your wife seemed interested in the rumors of the ring." I looked over to where she was sat with Camila who I finally caught staring back at me as if she's been waiting for our eyes to meet."The ring." She mouths pointing at Adaline and turns the moment the message was delivered."Great, your baseless rumors seemed to have caught the interest of my wife." I groaned thinking of how I wou

NYLAThe night had turned into a disaster, a far cry from the triumph I had in mind. I had dressed exactly like Adaline, down to the last detail, hoping to provoke a reaction from Grant. But he had barely even noticed me, his indifference a slap in the face. And to make matters worse, the noble ladies who had once fawned over me had switched allegiance to Adaline, openly mocking me with their snickers and whispers.I seethed with anger and humiliation as I made my way out of the auction, my eyes scanning the crowd for a target for my frustration. That's when I bumped into a tall, manly figure, his broad shoulders and chiseled frame making my heart skip a beat. For a moment, I forgot about my anger, my gaze locked onto the mystery man's masked face, wondering if he might be handsome underneath.But before I could even open my mouth to lash out, he walked past me like I didn't exist. The dismissal stung, and I felt my anger and hurt boil over. This was Adaline's fault, he must have seen

ADALINE Camila's face grew with concern, her eyes sukken and her brows droopy. I may have mistaken the look on her face to that of someone who might be sleepy but it's been bothering me for a while. Camila would always defend Grant whenever I utter a single distaste about him. My concern didn't stem from their closeness it was inevitable, they must have bonded during my absence in slumber. But why did Camila suggest the ring? What is this talks about demons? I had only told her about my dreams relative to the mishap that had happen recently. It cannot just be merely a coincidence. "Camila." I clicked my tongue, swallowing my saliva. "Why is the Hazem ring so important?" My question threw her off, her eyes wondering the entire room but my face. Worry grew, her eyes widened and her nose seemed to scrunch upward a bit. Then her face relaxed but her eyes still simmered in concern. "Once you get the ring you will surely understand my Luna." Camila said, extending her hands as t

ADALINE"I want your blood." Daemon revealed. I was expecting an audience with Grant, for me to leave Grant or some petty nonsense of sort. I turn my attention to Camila hoping she would give me some insight but her shrug was a harsh slap to the face. Camila was a witch not some woman of foresight.A small foglike gasp escape my lips, coherently I shot daggers at Daemon as he smirked at me."I-I mean, what exactly do you plan to use my blood for?" I stuttered, trying to keep my voice steady as I spoke. Daemon, or Julian, or whatever his name was, burst into a fit of laughter, his eyes gleaming with amusement."Demons need blood to maintain the form they possess," he revealed, his voice dripping with a sly, otherworldly charm. "You don't think I'm actually stuck in this body, do you?" He chuckled, his shoulders shaking with mirth."You did the same with the knight who killed my child," I spat, my voice venomous with accusation. I was seething with anger, refusing to let him gloss over

ADALINEMy eyes stuck to the bowl that the maid had placed in front of me, normally i would immediatly chugg the food down my throat but i could not even find the energy to even eat. i felt all eyes stare at me. The eyes of the maids, the eyes of Lord and Lady Thompson as well as Theodore and Melanie who just arrived at the table not too long ago. Theodore gets up from his seat, apologising to everyone in the table and immediately reaches for my plate. My eyes darts towards to him as i understand his mission. His spoon carries a spoonful of my food as he slurps the warm porridge. My eyes focused on his throat as his adam's apple bobs back and forth on swallowing. His tongue swirls round his entire mouth as he passes the food back to me. I felt even emabarassed, a small chuckle escaped from Melanie's lips, all attention moved towards her as she takes a spoonful as well."The food was already tasted. Although i can relate to the empress's concern." Melanie chuckled, her eyes wide with

NYLAThis was my time to strike, Adaline and her band of mischief are supposedly missing and the last place they were seen was at Julian's Blackwood. Mr Blackwood claimed that Adaline didn't visit him and so rumor has spread in the kingdom that the empress has ran away.Camila and Theodore are wanted for kidnapping the empress and if not kidnap, soliciting a runaway.I was next in charge since Camila wasn't around. I was ordering everyone I could order back and forth like it's supposed to be, soon I would be ruling over everyone in this insufferable kingdom.I walked down the hallway with a wide smile on my lips as the maids all bow down. My eyes glimmer in excitement, catching a glimpse of Alpha Grant walking towards me. It's been four days, just four days and underneath his eyes seemed to have worsened.Behind him was lady Georgiana who trailed behind him. Ever since Theodore was gone she's been at the castle taking over some of Theodore's duties. I suspect she's doing more behind

CAMILAMy eyes opened slowly until it was wide. My eyes searched the white familiar ceiling of my bedroom. I toss and turn into the warmth feeling of my bed until I realized she immediately got up.My head turns and my body checks my garment tossing away the blanket.Instantly I remember everything but where is Theodore and Adaline?I got up from my bed, a gut feeling already forming in my stomach, and it wasn't exactly like butterflies it was heavy.How long had I slept and what exactly happened to Adaline and Theodore.Everything pointed back at one person and that is my father.Either way I needed to find the two of them quick and teleport back to Hazem.I quickly changed into my new pair of clothes packing in a small bag and head out of my room.Swiping the door open, two maids stood before me with a heap of clothes in their grasps."Lady Camila, you're awake." They both dropped the white linen, and my hand quickly found it's way to their mouths.I widened my eyes with the very in
