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
SARATears welled in my eyes as I heard Eden say those words at the diner. I had faced my own pain and fear, but in that moment, all melted away, leaving only the pure, undeniable love I felt for him. There’s nothing I want more than to be his Luna, his wife, his partner in all things.As we stood in the bedroom, my heart raced by his words, a deep flush spreading across my cheeks as I nodded, my voice caught in my throat.I had seen him battle, I had witnessed his strength and power, but here, in this moment , I saw the depth of his vulnerability, his need to express his love in the most intimate way.He began to slowly undress me. His fingers worked carefully, undoing the ties of my gown. The dress fell from my body, leaving me only in my delicate undergarments.He traced the lines of my body,he took his time, savoring each moment as he undressed me, as though he was unwrapping a precious gift.I was finally naked before him, he paused
THE UNKNOWNIn the dark corner of the palace, I move with silent precision. I have blended into the fabric of the palace, unnoticed and unsuspected by all. My loyalty belongs to Alpha Alfred of the Nightwalker pack.Aries had been given one simple duty and she failed, it's a pity, she has to die. I can’t let her carelessness ruin our plans, we have been mapping for a long time.She had sent one of the guards, guarding the dungeon that is on my payroll, she wanted to see me. King Eden had put a guard under my payroll as a guard to Aries, what a stupid king.I knew with the beatings and torture Aries had been getting, it wouldn’t take long for her to break and want to confess.I had been watching and waiting for the right time to strike. I chose the night King Eden was busy with his queen to strike.On the night I planned to kill Aries, I executed the plan with cold efficiency. I waited until the changing of guards and was sure it was the guard on my payrol
SARAIt’s been days since Aries was found dead in the cell, I had been in a state of emotional turmoil. I had felt betrayed that someone close to me had attempted to kill me but I never wanted her dead.The death of Aries had created a growing distance between Eden and I. At first, I understood his need to focus on the investigation. The threat was real, and he needed to ensure everyone’s safety.But as days turned into weeks, his coldness towards me is unbearable. He barely spoke to me, his eyes avoiding mine whenever we were in the same room.He spent countless hours locked away in his study, emerging only late at night when I was already asleep. Even then, he no longer held me close as he used to.The bed had become a cold, empty place, and the space between us felt empty. Each night I lay awake, waiting for him until I fell asleep. I missed the warmth of his arms around me, the reassurance of his presence. I wish there’s something I could do to help him solve this problem in the
SARALately I have been sick, and feeling weak. It seems the curse effects are back again. I don’t even know my fate with the curse anymore. Both witches that embarked on the journey of getting the Chronos Amulet, are not yet back, not even a word from them.I stood in front of the mirror, I had been feeling different for days, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was wrong.My body seemed to be changing in subtle ways. I felt more tired than usual, my energy levels dipping unexpectedly throughout the day.My appetite has shifted as well; certain foods I once loved now made my stomach churn, while others that had never interested me suddenly became cravings.I also noticed a faint queasiness in the mornings, my breasts are getting bigger and I had added some weight.I don’t know how to place how I was feeling but I dismissed it as stress from the recent events in the pack.I walked to the balcony of the bedroom, and felt the cool breeze of the evening. I closed my eyes and
AARONBuried in so much work in my study, surrounded by ancient tomes and scrolls. Fay burst into my study, her eyes were wide with urgency.“The witch is back! With the Chronos Amulet.” she announced.My heart raced as I realized Sara’s fate would be changed. Chronos Amulet was a powerful artifact that would enable Esmeralda to go back in time and undo the curse she placed on Sara.Without hesitation, I leapt to my feet and followed Fay to the throne room. As I hurried through the palace corridors, my mind raced with thoughts of how to protect the amulet and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.When I got to the throne room, I found Esmeralda sitting. She looked drawn and pale, and dark circles shadowed her eyes. The weight of grief and loss hung on her shoulders.“Where’s Ethel?” I muttered, with a sad feeling of knowing the answer already.Esmeralda’s hands trembled slightly as she recounted the events that had transpired during their quest for the chronos amulet.A deep
SARAI felt a rush of hope and relief wash over me when Eden informed me the witches are back with the chronos amulet.For so long, I had been burdened by the curse that had plagued me, causing me pain and suffering. I had even given up hope. The thought of finally being free from its grasp filled me with a sense of joy and gratitude.Eden and I embarked on a journey to The shadows pack, I couldn’t wait to see Fay and Aaron. I had missed them so much.We were accompanied by a small but elite group of warriors, as we set out at dawn. The air was cool and crisp, the morning sun casting a golden glow over the landscape as we rode out of the palace grounds. Eden insisted on traveling with only the most trusted members of his guard except Aldo, whom he left in charge of the pack.The weight of the curse removal task hung heavily on our shoulders. This was our only and last chance to break the curse that had threatened to take my life.The part through the forest was long and winding. The
