“So now first things first.” Alpha Everett started after the order was applied to the room. Ophelia took her seat on Bernard’s right as Lord Everett led the meeting as the council’s head. She could still feel Silas’s glare at her, but she ignored it along with the others. She reminded herself of Ryan’s words, she needn’t worry. All she has got to say is the truth. She did hope Bernard had prepared her for the type of questions awaiting her, she felt like she was running amid a battlefield with nothing but but her clothes to protect her.“We start with what happened six years ago,” Everett continued, shifting his gaze to Bernard. “How did the princess get here and was it before or after the night of the arson?”“It was the time of the arson,” Bernard answered, he required no time to think, the events were vivid to him as if it were yesterday. “Noah found the princess in the woods the night of the arson, that is when she started staying with Moonglade.”“Then how did you come to know a

“You are to blame as much as them! Don’t you dare bring up our family!” Ophelia was still as she absorbed his words. Rather than disappointed or angry, she was curious. Luke has made sure to point out his hostility to Ophelia and label her a stranger to him. If she didn’t know better, she would’ve thought he had his memory wiped out. But that didn’t seem to be the case. She stared at his rage-filled eyes with caution. He had a fire in him that threatened to engulf her at any given moment. But if he remembered one thing about her, he should remember that she didn’t fear getting burned. “Luke, I understand that you have had a hard life these six years,” she said, breathing heavily. “ But I’ll not allow you to doubt or shame the way I’ve lived my life either.” “Oh, please,” he scoffed in mockery. “Don’t get it started.” “If I may remind you, it is you who started this,” Ophelia said, irritation finding its way to her. “You were the one who attacked us! It was exactly the same as th

“Is E.V.I.L’s President’s family.”  Jone’s words were the last to conclude the council meeting. The Alphas of Glahams weren’t pleased, to say the least. A few words from a mundane made their efforts for the past six years go to waste. Not only that but, his statement was the proof they needed to label E.V.I.L as the culprit for the arson. All it took was one human to figure out what they couldn’t find all these years, and this fact didn’t seem to be settling as well as it should have. But perhaps their shame held them back from denying or protesting with Jone. Jone did them a favor by unveiling the hidden truth. They hated to be proved lacking in this way. But Ophelia wasn’t worrying about their face before Jone. All she could think of were

The way to Noah’s room felt longer than it usually took. She halted by the door wondering if Noah was already up and around behind this door. She placed her hand over her chest to calm her beating heart. “Oh, Lady Claudia,” Ryan said, bringing Ophelia back to the present. She turned to look at the other end of the hall. The Omega, Claudia was as perfect as ever. The moment she saw Claudia she was flooded with the sweet smell of pheromones. She took a quick glance at Ryan and if he was feeling something, he was doing a good job at hiding it. “Good evening,” she said, bowing deeper than usual to Ophelia. Perhaps it’s because of Ophelia’s new title now, Princess of the Crescents. She couldn’t help but notice the way Claudia quickly scanned her at first glance. Ophelia was now a little…different from what Claudia was used to. Now that she thought of it, this was the first time she had run into Claudia since the night of the attack. She even forgot she was here and that she is suppo

The moon was high in the sky now. Noah urged Ophelia to open the window and allow a bit of fresh air. Now that he has woken up he was all stuffed up within his room. The smell of the disinfectants and medicine made his room a hospital, and Noah hated hospitals. Ophelia was still next to him enjoying the warmth they offered each other. They enjoyed the scenery from the window on their right, watching the clouds shading the moon as it crossed over. It was a cloudy night, with barely any stars visible in the sky. The sounds of the guard's footsteps echoed through the mansions as they patrolled the parameters. For a bit, it was peaceful. Ophelia wished this peace to be permanent, but it was all wishful thinking. Deep down she could feel her wolf on edge, waiting for danger like a beast in the forest. However, it was hard to give it any serious thought while being this comfortable in Noah’s warmth. Noah’s heartbeat against her skin was a tranquilizer to her nerves, nothing else mattered
