SARA“You mean,before you can remove the curse of death from me, the witch that cursed me has to be present?” I asked Fisher.“Yes, the person that cursed you has to be present,” he replied.“I don’t know how to get out of this forest without being caught by kieran and his men, the only way out of this forest is through Hunter’s Den.” I said with a frown and groaned, knowing Esmeralda is probably at Shadow’s pack.“The goddess works in mysterious ways,” he said with a smile.Suddenly, we heard a loud growl. Fear gripped me as I shivered, Kieran and his men must have found me.“Stay here and don’t move.” Fisher said and stepped out.I stood up and started pacing about, looking for where I could hide in the old room. The room was filled with ancient carvings and treasures.Fisher came back with a smile and asked me to come with him. He stretched his hands towards me and I took it with fear and confusion. I was wondering w
SARA “I would add Esmeralda and Sara’s blood together to perform the ritual,” Fisher explained, as we all focus on him performing the ritual.Fisher cut Esmeralda’s finger with a small knife, and her blood dropped on the small bowl, he cut mine and I winced. I watch my blood drop on the bowl. She had agreed to exchange her life with mine, she said afterall she was going to die soon, for using black magic to lay a curse.He began to chant in a language as old as time, his voice resonating with power and authority. As the incantations grew louder, the air around us crackled with energy. I felt a strange warmth spread on my body. A bright light erupted on Fisher’s staff, enveloping me. I closed my eyes anticipating, it would be over soon and I would be free.“Why is it not working!” Fisher suddenly exclaimed.I opened my eyes and looked at him, he looked confused.“What do you mean, it’s not working?” Eden growled.“The
ALPHA KING EDENAs Sara and I entwined in the aftermath of our intense lovemaking, I felt a profound sense of satisfaction and completion. My heart swells with a protective love, knowing that I had marked her as my own.The warmth of her body against mine,coupled with the gentle rise and fall of her breathing,fills me with deep tranquility.“Things are getting more intense back at Moonstone, so much workload has piled up for me. I won’t be able to come as often, I want you to come back to where you belong, Sara. I am not forcing you, just think about it.” I said, and kissed her forehead.She was silent, her hands were moving slowly on my chest, sending a sweet sensation in my body.“I am sure,with you is where I want to be,” She finally said.I lifted her chin and looked into her eyes “What do you mean?” I asked in expectation.“I think it’s time to go back home with you,” She said with a smile.I leaned down and kissed her lips gen
AARONI watched as the carriage carrying Eden and Sara drove away. My heart ached with a deep, unspoken longing, a bittersweet mixture of love resignation.In a short while, Sara had been the light of my life, her laughter and warmth. I had loved her deeply, with every fiber of my being.Seeing her so happy and content with Eden, brought a pang of jealousy that I quickly quelled. I know I had to let her go, to respect her choice and the bond she had formed with Eden.The day Eden and I had a fight, Ethel had walked in on us after Fay took Sara away. She had said “What would your fathers say, seeing you two fighting yourselves to death?” she shook her head and walked away.Eden and I came to our senses, after Ethel’s words. I shifted back and walked away from him in disappointment and shame. Eden and I had never raised our claws on each other, from that day I made up my mind to let Sara go. Ethel and Esmeralda had been gone for t
ALPHA KING EDENThe palace was steeped in heavy silence, an atmosphere of dread hanging over every corridor and chamber.It had been a week since Sara fell ill. I had given her the potion Fisher created for the sickness caused by the curse, her condition showed no signs of improvement.My heart ached, as I watched how Sara’s usual vibrant presence has now become a shadow of itself. Her once bright eyes are dull and her strength waning.I was always at her bedside, my eyes were fixed on her with a mixture of desperation and helplessness.The evening sun dipped below the horizon and the room was bathed in the soft glow of candlelight.My heart broke as I watched Sara struggle to draw each breath. I felt a pang of guilt , a nagging voice in the back of my mind questioning if I had somehow failed her. Had I overlooked something? Was there more I could have done to protect her?I stood and paced the room, my frustration was bubbling. I had sen
ALPHA ALFRED“What do you mean the poison didn’t kill her?” I growled in anger.“I am sorry my Alpha, the poison was detected before it could consume her,” An unknown voice said.“You are a failure! Make sure our tracks are covered and lay low for now,” I ordered.I paced back and forth in my throne room, as the steps of my shoes echoed off the marble floor. All my attempts to kill my brother’s daughter, the rightful owner of my throne had proved abortive.My mind replayed the events that had led to this moment, each of my attempts is a bitter reminder of my failure to kill just one cursed girl.I accused Sara, she’s the cause of her mother’s death, while in truth I caused Charlotte’s death. She killed herself a few days after giving birth to Claire because she found out I killed her ex husband Landon.She was devastated. She married her husband’s killer and even had a child for him, so she drank a poisonous substance and died. I covered it up
SARA The soft morning light filtering through the curtains of the room, as I slowly opened my eyes.For the first time in what felt like an eternity, the tightness in my chest had lessened, the throbbing pain in my head had dulled, and the heavy fog of sickness had begun to lift.I could breathe a little easier now, though each breath still felt like a hard won battle.I turned my head slightly to see Eden beside me, his strong hand wrapped gently around me.Our eyes met, his eyes usually so fierce and commanding, were filled with concern, but there was relief there too, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He smiled gently.“How are you feeling, my love?” he asked, his voice was low and tender.I took a deep breath, “Better, I feel better.” I whisperedEden's smile widened, and he leaned forward to press a soft kiss on my forehead. “Thank the goddess, I have been so worried.” he murmured, as his lips lingered against
SARAI stood before the mirror in the room, my reflection shimmering in the soft candlelight. My skin, once pale and sickly from the poison that nearly took my life, now glowed with health and vitality.I ran my fingers through my long, auburn hair, which cascaded in loose waves down my back, framing my delicate features.Eden had asked me to dress up, and have dinner with him. This would be the first time in weeks, I would be leaving the room.For dinner with Eden, I had chosen a gown of deep crimson silk that clung to my curves in all the right places. The bodice was intricately embroidered with gold thread, shimmering in light. The skirt flowed elegantly to the floor, pooling around my feet in a cascade of fabric. My hair was swept up into an elaborate updo, with tendrils of curls framing my face.As I made my way out of the room, I exuded an air of confidence and grace, every of my movements was a testament of my strength and resili
