Trouble Looming

Apollo’s POVCarrying Eve on my back, I pushed through the castle doors with Queen Morwenna hurrying in front of me. As we rushed upstairs to her chambers, I didn’t really pay attention to my thumping heart and the sweat that was covering my body or even the fear and worry that clawed at my heart. All I could focus on was the weight of Eve’s limp form against me, the faintness of her breath, and the cold sweat dampening her forehead. “You need to tell me what the fuck happened back there.” I hissed at Queen Morwenna. This was the third time I was asking her this same question and she was ignoring me. “What is wrong with her?”Again, Queen Morwenna said nothing as she continued to lead us through the winding halls toward her chamber. Her silence only heightened my panic. She had seen everything, she knew more than she was letting on, but whatever knowledge she held, she was clearly too shaken to share it with me now."Can you talk to me already?” I pressed again, louder this time, whi

A Different Eve

Jade’s POVThat bitch is using me.I cursed under my breath as I carried a tray of drinks from the mansion to the garden, my face reddening in anger. Emilia’s friends had stopped over to visit her and Emilia had ‘kindly’ asked me to get them some drinks. I knew very well that Emilia was only keeping me around as her lackey, her personal errand girl. And I had been stupid enough to go along with it. Or maybe it wasn’t her fault but mine. I was the one who wanted to get back at Eve so bad by making her jealous of my newfound friendship with Emilia.It was all my fault. And even though I had told myself a thousand times that Eve had lied to me, that she had hidden things from me, especially about Apollo’s feelings for her, deep down, I knew she had been honest. I knew that she would never intentionally hurt me. Yet, I was just too angry and hell bent on blaming someone for my misfortune. As I neared the garden, I heard Emilia and her friends’ voices filter through the air, followed by E

Lost in the Shadows

Stefan’s POV I was at the training field, training with my soldiers, when I noticed Eve standing at the edge of the training ground, watching me. She was unmoving and there was barely any expression on her face. I figured it was because of two things. Either she was tired from her journey to the Broken Moon Kingdom or she was angry at me. Even though I was pretty sure I didn’t do anything to offend her. Either way, I found it cute.With a small grin on my face, I signaled my men to keep going without me."Eve!" I called out to her, and yet, she did not move and her expression remained blank. Just stood there like she was carved from stone.“Did you miss me that much?” I teased, reaching for the towel a servant handed me and used it to wipe off the sweat on my body. “Was Broken Moon Kingdom not as exciting without me?” My grin widened as I approached her but as I got closer, my grin faded. Her eyes. Something was wrong. The color was off, colder, almost an unnatural shade of blue. H

Saving Eve

Stefan’s POVAs Queen Morwenna stepped into the packhouse with hastened paces, my mother, who seemed as though she had been waiting for us in the hallway, rushed to us. Her eyes were wide and filled with panic and fear.“What the hell did you do to Eve?” She snapped at Queen Morwenna as soon as she reached us, anger crossing her face and her tone sharp.“I… I didn’t do anything.” Queen Morwenna swallowed and managed to say. Her face was pale and her shoulders were slumped. “What did you mean you didn’t do anything to her?!” My mother raised her voice this time, clearly enraged. “She has turned into something else because she accepted your stupid invitation to your evil kingdom. And you’re telling me you didn’t do anything to her?!”I exhaled in frustration and stepped between them to stop my mother. “Not now, Mother. Whatever anger you have with her can wait. She’s here to help get Eve out of this whatever curse she’s trapped in. Whether she is able to help or not, we will then know

A Quenched Fire

Eve’s POVI struggled to open my eyes and when I finally did, it felt like I had been buried under a mountain of weight. My whole body ached badly and my throat burned with thirst. It felt as if I had been beaten all over. Even my bones felt like they had cracked all over. As my eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of my room, I felt hollow. Like an empty shell. What had happened to me?For a moment, I lay there, confused and trying to search through my brain for an answer. The next minute, all of my memories came flooding back. The memories of that nightmare, when I had witnessed myself move, and act but without any control of my own mind. I recalled clearly how I had almost killed Jade and tried to hurt Apollo and Stefan too. I was literally like a zombie.I felt my chest tighten and hurt bitterly with guilt. Tears escaped my eyes even before I even had the strength to hold them back. I had tried to hurt the people who had loved me. How could I? How could I have done that? What if

Tea, Coffee, and an Awkward Conversation

Jade’s POVIn the kitchen, I poured water into a small pot, watching the steam rise as it started to simmer. I reached for the chamomile flowers, their gentle, earthy aroma filling the room as I dropped them in. Eve always said this tea felt like a hug from the inside out. After everything that she had gone through, I hoped it would do a little healing for her.A creak from behind startled me, and I turned slightly to see Apollo walking into the kitchen. He paused momentarily as if stunned by my presence. After we both spent a round of seconds staring at each other, completely dumbfounded with neither of us knowing what to say, he backed me and walked over to the counter. I watched from the side of my eyes as he reached for a mug and set up the coffee maker. I turned back to the tea I was making, feeling the silent awkwardness between us hang heavy. I had been replaying that night of the Full Moon Festival in my head ever since. The way I had slapped him in front of everyone for r

Logic and Emotions

Eve’s POV“What I’m about to say will change your life, Eve.” Luna Jessica said to me as soon as Jade had left the room, leaving us alone to ourselves. “And asides from that, I would also be breaking the promise I had made to keep this a secret. But sometimes, promises must be broken for the greater good. Emotions should not cloud judgment. Always remember that.”I frowned and my heart started to beat faster than usual. What was it that was so important that she wanted to tell me? Whatever it was, it seemed quite serious by the way she sounded and by the cold and calculated expression on her face.“Eve…” She maintained eye contact with me, letting her words sink properly into my head. “Years ago, Queen Morwenna. once had an affair with a werewolf. And from that affair, she gave birth to a hybrid child.”She paused again and just when I was beginning to wonder why she was telling me this and what this had to do with me, she added.“That child is you, Eve.”I blinked and froze as the ma

My shy Beta

Jade’s POVThe movie that Apollo had selected for us to watch at the theater had started innocently enough. Just a run-of-the-mill rom-com, the kind with a quirky heroine and a clueless but lovable hero who took two hours to figure out they were perfect for each other. But halfway through, the plot swerved. Hard. The two main characters, who had been teasing each other for an hour, finally threw themselves together in a moment of over-the-top, cinematic passion. Like the type where naked bodies filled the screen. Yes.I blinked my eyes, cleared my throat and leaned over to Apollo.“You picked this movie?”Apollo squirmed in his seat, looking at me with a half-apologetic, half-embarrassed smile. “I swear, I didn’t know it would turn into this.” His cheeks were flushed red with embarrassment. “If you like, we can leave and try something else…” “Nah. It’s fine.” I shook my head at his idea and we turned our attention back to the screen where things had escalated pretty quickly. I cou

Power is Key

Eve’s POVThe next morning, I was feeling much better after faithfully consuming all of the herbs and medicines that were prepared for me. Jade and I strolled down the path that led to the training field where I heard that Stefan was training. I hadn’t seen him since the day he had come to check on me after I had woken up. That day, he had stayed by my side longer than I expected, and I had fallen asleep knowing he was there. But since then, I had not seen him and from what I had learned, he had traveled for an urgent council meeting. Now he was back, and I needed to see him. Majorly regarding Queen Morwenna’s issue.Jade and I continued to walk slowly down the path with Jade’s hands tucked into the pockets of her jacket to spare herself from the cold. Winter was approaching and the weather was becoming colder by the day. "So," Jade finally broke our peaceful silence, turning her head to look at me. "What are you going to do now? Are you going to follow Luna Jessica’s advice and for

Poor Emilia

Stefan’s POVAs the warm water from the shower cascaded down my back, I shut my eyes close and relished the sensation, hoping it might wash away the thoughts crowding my mind. For some reason, tonight, they were all of Eve. Eve in that beach house, Eve in that bathtub. The way her skin had felt under my touch. The way she had kissed me and moaned my name when I touched all of her forbidden places. She way she had held eye contact with me when I had entered her. The way her hand had grazed mine underwater, just a simple touch, but enough to make the rest of the world fall away.Goddamn it, I want her again. I want her so badly right now.I felt a hand slide over my shoulder and I closed my eyes, my heart picking up, my mind tricking me into thinking she was there. It felt real, too real, the kind of touch that demanded attention, and I was drawn into it, hoping it might be her.But then, I realized and knew the touch was wrong. The pressure was off and the warmth was lacking. It wasn’t
