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
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
