~Sylvester~ Some reporters attacked Clay and Alexei with questions, and I became impatient. They asked how they felt about standing trial in the King's hall. The fact that we have yet to make that announcement public bothered me. Joan must have leaked it to the press because the next question gav
"Where is my room?" He asked with a deep voice, and Uncle Lucas widened his eyes. "Yes, Uncle, he is a man. Meet Erik Stepanov," I said, and my mother gasped. "All will be explained soon. Right now, I need to see Larry." I said, Walking in quickly. Tamia and the others continued while Leo, Marcel
"What about you? Aren't you his cousin? You should know where he is" Dominic said to him, sounding short. "I am his cousin, but we do not share the same Ideology. We stuck together out of necessity and separated when it was possible to be apart. I do not know much except what my spies in his group
~Sylvester~ Our discussion lingered in the Lounge, and Erik told us much about his past. The man was easygoing, and he only cared about science and progress. He was also a very jovial and funny man. Uncle Lucas seemed wary of him, but it was normal. The Volkovs had wronged the Stepanovs gravely
"You shouldn't be roaming about the place, either. You are the King. What if Yuri is watching the Estate? I do not think it is wise you go," Erik said, and everyone agreed with what he had said. This was the part of being King that I hated. I liked getting involved with the action. I knew Erik was
~Leo~ Devin, Vino, and I left the Lounge to prepare to see Larry. Everything Erik told us registered in my head, and I was on the lookout. I hoped he would reach out to me because I planned to use that opportunity to catch him. I went to my room in the Estate, and Amelia wasn't there. There was a
The ride was smooth. We got to Lucland City in no time and were at the prison. Head Enforcer Bryce Golubev had done an exceptional job securing the place. There were huge Nitric tanks at both ends of the entrance, and the prison guards and enforcers were wearing goggles and gas masks. Who would hav

"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
