The punishment is death, Sylvester. We have people locked up for treason that never attempted taking your life; what do you think would happen to your mother, who planned and succeeded in having a lord and his officers killed by exposing him to his known enemy?" I asked him, and he was silent, seein
~Tamia~ The moment we stepped outside, I exhaled. "What would you like to speak to me about, Tamia?" he asked gently, and I looked at him. "First of all, I want to congratulate you. I heard of you and Susan, and I am happy for both of you," I said; he nodded and looked away. "I heard a rumour th
"Are you in trouble because of it?" he asked me gently, and I shook my head. "No, Devin, I am not, but someone dear to me other than Sylvester is," I told him, and he frowned at me. "Stephanie is being blackmailed; they claim that the letter was written by her and caused Maurice's death. They said
I had asked myself severally how Jenny could get her hands on the letter with her so-called investigator. Why would she have someone in the south? I had thought it was a way of keeping an eye on her enemies, but Devin made it make sense now. Maybe the influential person behind Jenny's son had been
"Did he have Marcel tested?" I asked, and Devin chuckled. "How am I to know that part? I doubt the guy did that. You needed to see him, Tamia. He was mad," Devin said. "So you let him get away?" I asked, and he nodded. "A deal is a deal, Tamia. He had surrendered and told me why he did it. I woul
~Tamia~ My legs could not carry me fast enough. I walked through the house quickly. Wanting to get to Sylvester and give him the news. I appreciated Devin for telling me the truth. It took a lot for him to put his reputation on the line like that. That reputation had kept the south safe; if this
"Will you let Devin do this to you?" he asked, caressing my walls, and I moaned. "No," I replied, wanting more. "So what did you do outside?" he asked, and I could not think straight anymore. "Sylvester," I moaned. "I know what you want, Tamia, but you won't be getting any until you tell me what
"I am sure you are just as deadly as you were without it," he said, and I kissed him. "You can see Devin and tell him what we expect him to say if there is ever a hearing concerning the issue with my mother's letter to him. Also, tell Leo about Amanda's location. I know he said he was leaving, but
Dear Readers and Beloved Co-Writers, I am thrilled to share some exciting news with all of you. Liam and Josephine are embarking on their own unique adventure, and their story is becoming so enthralling that it deserves its own book. Considering the depth and breadth of this tale, I've received wi
"I... I’m clueless," I stammered as he trailed kisses along my neck, each touch igniting a wild sensation within me. "Same here," he managed between breaths, his hand gradually tracing up my thigh. His confession reassured me, and at that moment, I embraced the idea of exploration and discovery wit
"I was scared, partly because of Sophia's presence. She seemed perfect, so normal, and I…" I stumbled over my words, the memory stoking an odd ache within me. The pain from that day was stubborn, refusing to fade. "I felt like I couldn't measure up, Li. But my sister insisted that I should give it
"Since we can't venture out alone, I convinced Mrs. Mirabel to join us," he explained, and a surge of excitement led me to embrace him tightly. His consideration touched me deeply. I had yearned to return to the park ever since that day. Even though the stream wasn't quite the same as the lake, it
~Josephine~ A rush of excitement coursed through me, and a smile tugged at Liam's lips as he stood by the doorway. Since there was nothing to grab in my room, I slipped on my slippers and made my way outside. "Did your father get in touch?" Liam inquired as we descended the staircase, and I nodded
"I have to hope that we are fated to be together or that we possess the strength to do what his parents did: defy expectations and reject what fate has in store for us," I mused aloud, causing Charlotte's expression to take on a tinge of concern."Let us not worry about things that are yet to come a
"Because you are my friend, and he is my cousin, and I know of Sophia, so I want to know why you will allow yourself to get carried away," she responded, her tone genuinely concerned. I offered her a smile, touched by her sincerity."There's nothing between him and Sophia," I reassured, to which she
~Josephine~The kappas coming from Lucland didn't reach Grizlo Hospital until late, subjecting us all to a lengthy and tense wait. When they finally did arrive, Charlotte couldn't contain her joy. Meanwhile, I observed Justin issuing them instructions, my only thought being an earnest desire to depa
Seeing that the Royal family is somehow involved in this mess, I request that the council get involved and assist me in solving this matter," He said, and people began to murmur. "How was the Royal family implicated? Isn't this your jurisdiction, alpha Zakharov?" Pamela asked, and he nodded, then m
