SKYE“I’m finally back, bitches,” I heard someone say as the front door opened.I chuckled when I saw a familiar face.I stood up from the couch and walked toward her. “Naomi,” I said, opening my arms to greet her with a hug. “I’m glad that you’re back.”“Me too, honey,” she said. “I couldn’t enjoy my vacation at all since I was so busy worrying about the wedding.”I looked behind her and frowned. “Where are the others?”“They decided to stay,” she said. “Those bastards liked the trip so much, so they opted to complete their stay there. I’m staying here, though. I still need to meet the girl that replaced me.”“Shh,” I said and held onto her hand since Summer and Matthew were literally just sitting behind us.She frowned and turned to the side so she could see.“Is that her?” she asked with raised eyebrows. “Yeah,” I muttered under my breath.She observed her with narrowed eyes before shaking her head.“I don’t like her already.”I sighed in relief. Summer gives off a really good i
SKYE "I don't mind," Mark said, pulling me closer to him. I clicked my tongue and gently pushed him away. "Don't listen to her, Mark. She's just spouting nonsense," I said. "But I really don't mind accompanying you to the wedding. I think it'll be fun," he said. "That is—if I'm invited to the wedding." "Of course, you are!" Naomi exclaimed. "Any good friend of Skye's is our friend too." "Don't you think you need to consult this with Keilah and Enzo?" Matthew asked. Naomi clicked her tongue. "Oh, don't be ridiculous. I'm the wedding planner," she said. Summer cleared her throat. "The final guest list has already been decided," she said. "And who decided that?" Naomi raised her eyebrows. Summer smiled. "Me. After all, I am the wedding planner that Queen Noelle had hired. If Skye wants a date, then she could find someone from the guest list." "Fine," Naomi smirked. "How about Matthew, then?" she asked in a cheeky voice. "Would it be alright if you took Skye to the weddi
KEILAH I felt my heart drop. I already had my suspicions—back when I met Miles once again. He didn't deny it nor confirm it, so I was already preparing myself in case he had already met his mate. I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Had?" I asked. "Yes," he muttered under his breath. "I had a mate. I hope you're not mad that I didn't tell you right away." Of course, I'm disappointed that he didn't tell me about his mate, but I was more curious about what he meant by he "had" a mate."Where is she right now?" I asked. He let out a deep sigh. "She's not here anymore." I frowned. "She died," he added, causing me to let out a small gasp. "Enzo," I softly said his name. "It's okay," he said. "I'm really okay now. I wasn't for a long time, but everything changed when I met you. I thought I couldn't love another person as much as I loved her, but then you came. You changed everything for me." I held onto his hand and gave it a tight squeeze, all the disappointmen
SKYEI opened my eyes and was immediately met with sighs of relief.“Oh, thank god,” Naomi exclaimed. “You finally woke up! I thought you freaking died or something!”I rubbed my eyes awake and looked around the unfamiliar surroundings.“Where are we?” I asked. As of now, Mark, Matthew, Naomi, and Summer were in the room.“We’re in the lounge inside the church,” Mark said. “One of the priests is also a practicing doctor, and he told us that you’ll be fine and that you didn’t hit your head much.”I sat up from the bed, and Mark gently guided me. “What even happened?” Naomi asked. “One moment, you were on the ladder, and the next moment, you were already toppling off. You should have left the others to do the job.”I made eye contact with Summer, and she immediately evaded my eyes. I scowled and nodded my head toward her.“Ask her,” I passively said, still upset by her carelessness.They all turned their attention toward her. Naomi frowned. “What did you do?” she asked in a threateni
KEILAH I was afraid to open my eyes. It was two days left until the day of the wedding, and with each passing day, my hope gets shattered to pieces every time I opened my eyes. The doctor predicted that I would already have my vision at this time, but still, with no luck. I finally opened my eyes and held my breath, wanting to see how the light shone upon our room today. "Baby?" Enzo said when he noticed me fidgeting. "Any luck today?" he asked. I pursed my lips together and shook my head. Darkness. That's still all I could see. He let out a sigh before I felt him wrap his arms around me. "It's okay, baby," he said. "Give yourself more time, huh?" "How long?" I impatiently asked. "We'll get married in two days, Enzo," I said. "The wedding doesn't have to be your deadline, Keilah," he assured. "If you want, we can postpone the wedding and have it when you can already see—" "No," I quickly shook my head and wrapped my arms around his torso. Our wedding is alread
SKYE "Skye," he said, letting go of the guitar and giving it to Mark. Mark gave me a thumbs-up while I remained confused about everything that was happening. "Where were you going?" he asked. "I—I," I stammered to get my words out. "Relax," he chuckled. "Why are you here right now?" I asked after much struggle. "What do you mean?" he asked in an amused voice. "Where am I supposed to be right now?" "With her," I softly said, gesturing toward Summer, who still appeared to be in shock. "Why would I be with her?" he asked. I looked at him with disbelief and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know—maybe because the two of you are mates or something," I said in a sarcastic tone. "And does that mean anything when you're the one I love?" "Of course, it means something—wait, what," I said when I finally deciphered his words. The crowd cheered while Matthew stepped closer to me. "I said," he said, holding onto my hands. "You're the one that I love. I'm sorry for not realizing it soon
ENZO "Fuck," I cursed, pacing back and forth in my room as I waited for Naomi to call me to go to the church. Matthew glanced at me and chuckled loudly. "Why are you so nervous?" Matthew asked. "I thought you've been waiting for this for such a long time?" "That's why I'm so nervous," I said. "It's been so fucking long since I've wanted this." "Then you should be more excited," he said. "You should save your nervousness for when the two of you get a divorce or something." I glared at him. "Douche," I said. "Just imagine marrying the girl of your dreams. Imagine marrying Skye." "Oh, shit," he cursed. "You're right. I'm nervous just thinking about it.” I rolled my eyes. "Don't bring up the topic about divorce again," I said. "Right," he said. "Sorry, man. What do you want me to do, then? Do you want a hug or something?" he asked, standing up from his seat. I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him away. "Now, don't make this weird. Just stay there while we're waiti
KEILAHI couldn't stop looking at him. I knew that he was handsome based on what I had heard from other people. But nothing could have prepared me for the first time I saw him in the church. My vision is still pretty blurry, so I wasn't able to see him right away. But when I got to the altar and met with him face-to-face, I felt my breath get taken away. My eyes trailed down from his forehead down to his chin, ever-so-lightly tracing it with my index finger. Everything just feels so surreal right now. He chuckled as he felt the ticklish sensation on his skin. "Baby, how long are you going to be staring at me?" he asked in an amused tone. I smiled and laid down on top of him, having a much closer view of his face. "As much as I'd like," I cheekily said. "Why?" he asked, placing his arms underneath his head. "Am I handsome?""The most handsome," I muttered under my breath. "You're so handsome, baby."I watched his cheeks redden in embarrassment, causing me to point at him. "O
KEILAH After the intimate wedding with just a few people in the church, we were finally holding our grand wedding to which every person in the entire kingdom was invited. "You ready?" Enzo asked right by my side. I glanced at him and saw how dashing he looked in his suit. The formal ceremony just ended, so we were getting changed to join the banquet. AN"You look handsome," I said as I looked him up and down. "And you look beautiful," he said, standing beside me and wrapping his arm around my waist. We were currently on the balcony of our room, looking down at the people who were having fun. "I've never seen the kingdom so lively," I said, smiling as the sound of music pumped up. "Me too," he said. "I think they're genuinely happy that the two of us had already tied the knot." I smiled and nodded my head. "I'm glad that they accept me." "Of course, they would," he said, placing a kiss on my forehead. "They're getting a new and wonderful queen. Who wouldn't be happy?" I sco
