"So, either it's dinner or ----," Caspian licked his lips, his eyes scanning my body, making me feel like I was standing naked in front of him. I never responded, and they took it as my defeat. I was beginning to feel very lonely with everyone around me having an agenda to stay close. Hours later,
Caspian Diego: "I'm going to wear black so no one else should," I declared, ensuring that no one would dare imitate my style. We rose early, eager to check on the preparations for the big day. As it was already Friday, time was running short. I wanted this meeting to be flawless. Lord Bernard had
Genevieve: "No, thank you. I'll just go back home now," I gave her an awkward smile and decided to stand up when she began pacing even faster to approach me. "Um, I said no, thank you," I was so creeped out by her that I took a few steps back instead of turning away. I couldn't shake the feeling t
Genevieve: The car ride was far from peaceful; I found myself sandwiched between them, hugging myself tightly. "What the hell were you thinking?" Emre erupted in anger as soon as Bellamy veered onto a desolate road. They were cunning, always acting civil in the presence of other cars or people. It
Genevieve: "Her father had sent his cars and guards for us," Caspian exclaimed, informing the others while I remained in the bathroom, gazing at my reflection in the mirror. I no longer had a reason to back down from this dinner. If I wanted to find answers and escape, I had to act normal and mee
Genevieve: I took my seat at the dinner table, observing as the maids arranged the dishes with smiles. Monique was nowhere to be seen, which struck me as odd. I looked around and even attempted to ask the maids, but no one responded. Wolvin had to remove his shoes before entering the dining room,
Genevieve: "I'm not going back in there," I stuttered, my voice hiccupping from the countless tears I had shed. My father marrying Monique filled my mind with so much poison. "Don't listen to her. Let's drag her back; she'll have to behave once she's in front of her dad," Bellamy advised Caspian.
Genevieve: I woke up in bed with Emre by my side, although I didn't remember it being his night to be with me. He rarely wanted to share the bed before, and I didn't want him to feel sorry for me or offer sympathy. If he was there because he pitied me for not being invited to my father's wedding, I
Lavender:“Let me go,” I started kicking and screaming when a hand grabbed me. It was Igor.“Shut up before I smack the teeth out of your mouth,” he screamed as he grabbed me by both my arms and shook me awake.“I will not allow you or your friends to touch me,” I screamed in his face, and he gave m
Genevieve:Months Ago:“Are we going to keep walking around with no direction?” I was so lonely that whenever Evie spoke, it startled me. I sat down with my head lowered and eyes dry from crying.“Genevieve, you’ve cried enough. It’s time to get back on our feet again.” She had been such a help. But
Wolvin:“Yeah, now leave it here. The crows from this tree take the messages to the savior,” Finch helped me write a letter and send it out. We have been making up plans to get to know the savior. All of us, each one of us, kind of felt like either this savior was our Genevieve or someone who would
Bellamy:It was right in front of me. The footage. The last time anyone had seen Genevieve. She had her father on her back as she came to my pack and begged for help. My muscles stretched, heat rushing from deep within me.“That is—,” Wolvin thundered, his anger casting a dark shadow on the bright l
Wolvin:"What happened then?" I asked him as we sat in his living room. He made us stay to serve us dinner."I earned Monique's trust but built an army of my own. Then one day, I betrayed her like she betrays everyone." Emre shrugged, and that’s when someone arrived with a tray in her hands, serving
Emre:Months ago:I woke up tied in chains. But this wasn’t even the pack we had arrived at. I was in some sort of prison, and there were loud banging noises all around me. I got up with difficulty, looking around to get a better view of where I was when I saw a line of people standing with axes in
Bellamy:“What is going on? How are you the alpha king—where is Monique, and does that mean—” Caspian was speaking with heavy breaths, his body tense, so I helped him finish his question.“Is Genevieve your mate and the Luna Queen now?” That would explain why we couldn’t find her anywhere.Back when
Emre:Months Ago:“Where would we go now?” Abigail sat next to me, her eyes dry, but the stains of tears on her cheeks told a heartbreaking story.“We lost our baby,” I uttered, wiping the tears away with the back of my hand. “I lost my mother.”I couldn’t gather myself enough to get up and find a s
Wolvin:“Say what you have to say, because after that, I will leave. I have other important things to take care of,” Caspian gave me a cold shoulder, not even looking my way. It had been so difficult to live alone with the thought that my Gem was out there somewhere, all alone.We fell off and didn’
