Chapter: Chapter 44: A Moment Of Peace~Fiona~The sound of laughter was what woke me up.For a moment, I lay still, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling as I tried to remember where I was. Then the events of the previous night came rushing back, and I slowly sat up.I was at Stella's house.Judging by the sunlight filtering through the curtains, it was already morning. I pushed the covers aside, ran a hand through my messy hair, and got out of bed before making my way downstairs.The laughter grew louder as I approached the living room, and I couldn't help smiling when I saw what was happening.Stella's grandmother was seated comfortably, entertaining everyone with what appeared to be another one of her stories. Stella was in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast, while Ivy sat nearby, laughing so hard that she had to hold her stomach.Even with one of her eyes still purple and swollen, she looked cheerful, and seeing her like that made something in my chest loosen.At least she was smiling again.“Hey! You're up already?”

Chapter: Chapter 43: The Last Straw~Fiona~“Fi!” Ivy's scream was the first thing I heard as I struggled to make sense of what had just happened.He had hit me with a plank.God. He had actually hit me in the head. Before I could even turn around properly, Ivy was already rushing towards our father.“Stay the hell away from her!”She shoved him with both hands, her little body trembling with anger. But he barely moved before pushing her away with so much force that she lost her balance and fell onto the floor.“Ivy!”I tried to move towards her, but the throbbing at the back of my head stopped me. My hand instinctively flew to the spot where I'd been hit, and I winced as my fingers pressed against my scalp.A sharp, splitting headache was beginning to spread through my skull. I carefully touched the area, almost expecting to feel blood running down my neck, but when I pulled my hand away, there was nothing.I swallowed, trying to steady myself.My head hurt like hell, and my knees still felt weak, but seeing Ivy on th

Chapter: Chapter 42: The Price Of Coming Home~Fiona~The night seemed to drag on forever.I had tried calling Richard again, twice, but neither attempt went through. I even sent him a message, asking if he was busy, but there was still no response.Nothing.I sat quietly in the back of the cab, staring at my phone while the streetlights passed outside the window. I couldn't help remembering the number of maids I'd seen moving in and out of his wing earlier. Some carried fresh clothes, others had trays of food, and a few were accompanied by palace attendants.It was difficult not to draw my own conclusions.Perhaps he really didn't want to see me tonight. Perhaps he was busy with the Queen and had more important things to worry about than answering my calls.I locked my phone and rested my head against the window, trying to push the thoughts away.I was tired of wondering what was going through Richard's head. Tired of feeling like I had to wait for him to decide when he wanted me around."Fiona?"I lifted my head."We're home,

Chapter: Chapter 41: Caught In The Middle~Fiona~I tapped the notification, and the image immediately filled my screen.For a moment, I couldn't understand what I was looking at. Then my eyes widened, and my heart seemed to stop.Ivy.It was a picture of my sister.Her eyes were swollen, and her face looked tired. Even through the photograph, I could tell she had been crying. There were still faint marks on her skin, and the sight made my chest tighten.But she was alive.She was sitting at a table with a plate of food in front of her, eating. Several men stood around her, watching over her. I stared at the picture, trying to make sense of everything, until I recognised a few familiar faces.Rico's guards.I looked at the image again, zooming in slightly to make sure I wasn't mistaken.They were definitely his men.A breath I hadn't realised I was holding finally escaped my lungs.Thank God.My sister had been found.I couldn't stop staring at her face. She looked miserable, but at least she was eating. At least she wasn't b

Chapter: Chapter 40: Unwanted Message~Fiona~I left Rico's wing with a heavy feeling in my chest, trying my best to put everything that had happened behind me.I needed to get back to work. I couldn't afford to spend the entire day thinking about what had happened in that room, especially when I had enough problems waiting for me outside the palace.But no matter how hard I tried, the images kept replaying in my head.His hands around my neck. The threats. The sudden change in his expression. The way he had looked at me while repeating those words as though he could convince both of us that everything between us was perfectly fine.I swallowed, pushing the thoughts away as I pulled out my phone.Richard.I had already called him once, but he hadn't answered. I tried again, pressing the phone against my ear as I continued walking.Still nothing.I bit down on my lower lip, staring at his name on the screen until the call eventually ended.What was he doing?I knew the palace was unusually busy today, but surely he could s

Chapter: Chapter 39: You Belong To Me ~Fiona~ "Listen here, bitch. You can never leave me. You got that?" Rico's voice was low and threatening as he stared down at me and grabbed my chin. I was still struggling to catch my breath, my throat aching from the pressure of his fingers, but he didn't seem particularly concerned about that. All he wanted was an answer. I swallowed painfully and gave him a small nod. "Use your words, Fiona." "Yes..." "Yes, what?" I looked at him, my lips trembling. "I understand." "Good." He finally loosened his grip on my chin, but his expression remained hard. "Because I won't let you go. I don't care what you think you want or who you think you can run to. You're mine, babe. Do you understand that?" I nodded again, hoping that would satisfy him. He studied my face before brushing his thumb over my cheek. "That's better." I hadn't even realised I was crying until I felt a tear slide down my face. I tried to turn away, but he caught my chin again, making me look at him. "What's

I already have people who make me feel like enough.”“Then that’s your answer,” Lulu said softly.She reached for my hand.“Thank God you didn’t do anything drastic.”My chest tightened painfully at that.Because what if I had?What if I had actually used the wolfsbane on the King?What if Landon ever found out the truth?Would he forgive me?Would any of them still look at me the same way?And H.P…No matter what the truth was, she didn’t deserve pain.A fresh wave of tears rolled down my face.“I’m sorry,” I whispered brokenly. “I almost became the villain.”The words hurt more than I expected.Immediately, both of them moved closer.“That’s exactly why you have us,” Lulu murmured, pulling me into another hug.“To stop you when your brain starts doing nonsense,” Enz added lightly.That earned a watery laugh out of me.A real one this time.And slowly… The tightness in my chest began to

To kill the King.”Silence.Their eyes widened so fast it almost startled me.“What the hell?” Enz hissed immediately.Both of them lunged toward me at once, covering my mouth like the walls themselves would report me.“Are you insane?” Enz whisper-yelled. “Do you even hear yourself right now?”My breathing turned uneven as I pulled Lulu’s hand gently

And I was wondering which teacher would do that. But it's her…”Enz exhaled through his nose. “Yeah. I’m starting to think she’s worse than we thought.”I nodded slowly, but something still felt off.Because Lulu wasn’t just angry.She was distant, her expression wasn’t fully here.I narrowed my eyes.“Okay,” I said, softer now. “What is it? You’ve been acting weird since earlier… since you and Vi… ” I gestured lightly between them. “You know.”I leaned in a little. “Aren’t you happy?”Lulu forced a small smile. “I am. Really.”But it didn’t reach her eyes.“There’s just… something bothering me,” she added after a pause.Enz leaned in. “What is it? You can tell us.”She hesitated again.Then finally, she

You’ve been dragging this too long.”Enz raised both hands like we were attacking him.“Alright, alright. Relax,” he said. “Come closer.”We both leaned in immediately, eyes fixed on him.He lowered his voice like what he was about to say was dangerous.“Guess who I saw getting dragged into a classroom today.”I blinked. “Dragged?”Lulu frowned. “Who are you talking about?”Enz sighed loudly, clearly annoyed at our slowness. “You two really have no patience.”Then he leaned in a little more. “I saw Rain… with Sabrina.”For a second, it didn’t register.Then it did.“What?” we both said at the same time.I straightened instantly. “No way. That’s not possible.”Enz shook his head. “I’m telling you, it is. I wouldn’t have believed it either if I didn’t see it myself.”Lulu’s voice dropped slightly. “What were

Chapter: Chapter 84: Shared Possession~Nicole~I had a bad feeling about this entanglement.. The kind you don’t ignore… even when nothing has happened yet.“Yeah… sure… ‘low-key’…” I muttered under my breath, scratching the side of my neck.“Alright, break’s over!” the director called out, clapping her hands. “Let’s run it again.”We reset. A few more takes later, we finally nailed the scene for our school drama.Albourbe Lunarise… a story about two enemies bound by the Moon Goddess, fated to love each other in every lifetime… and die for it every time.Sigh.By the time we left the building, evening had settled in. I didn’t bother calling Enz or Lulu… they were probably already at Enz’s place. His private house had basically become our unofficial hangout spot… for the boys, Vi, all of us.Well, except Lucian. He was still dead serious about the teacher-student boundary, though even he showed up occasionally. When he did, we all tried our best to be respectful.And H.P?She’d been surprisingly relaxed lately, fully

Honestly, listening to them gush about their new partners was getting as exhausting as it was entertaining. Not that I could really talk. I never missed an opportunity to brag about my boyfriends.Yep. Boyfriends.After that last heated night, I finally stopped fighting it and told them I wanted them all. I’d expected a million questions or at least a second of hesitation. Instead, they just smiled and kissed me like they’d been waiting for me to say it since forever.And speaking of kisses…The marks they left were still staring back at me in the mirror. I’d tried everything to hide them from H.P, but she eventually caught a glimpse. Luckily, she still hasn't figured out who put them there….or how they did it.Things

Apparently, my outfit wasn't enough to distract him from whatever had been bothering him all evening.Well, I wasn't about to give up that easily.Before he could say anything else, I rushed towards him and threw my arms around his shoulders, jumping against him with enough force to make him stagger backwards. He barely had time to react before his arms instinctively wrapped around me, catching me against his chest."Whoa..."I didn't let him finish.I pressed my lips against his, kissing him before he could come up with another excuse to push me away. He tried to steady himself, but with my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms holding him close, we lost our balance and tumbled onto the grass.The lawn mower rolled a short distance away as Alex landed on hi

Chapter: Chapter 87: A Visit From His Pookie ~Lora~ By the time night settled over the city, I had finally managed to leave the hospital. As much as I needed everyone to believe I was still devastated by the miscarriage, there was only so much time I could spend lying in that hospital bed and staring at the ceiling. I had played my part well enough for one day, and I wasn't particularly interested in spending another night there pretending to be a grieving wife. Besides, I had other things to attend to. I had just finished speaking with Michelle and Christian over the phone. They were both staying at James's place for the night, which meant I didn't have to worry about them being alone or getting caught up in anything happening at home. As for me, I had a little visit to make. I stood in front of one of Alex's mansions, staring at the tall gates while adjusting the bucket hat on my head. I had gone out of my way to make myself look as unrecognisable as possible, wearing a loose brown coat that concealed most of my figur

I'll come back later."I stared at him for a moment before lowering my eyes to the tray of food he'd brought earlier. Then I pushed it away with a small frown. "I don't want this."He glanced at the tray. "What's wrong with it?""Nothing. I just don't want it.""Then what do you want?"I looked up at him, allowing my lower lip to tremble slightly.

Chapter: Chapter 85: Miscarriage~Lora~When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the unfamiliar white ceiling above me. The second was the uncomfortable ache in my head.I blinked a few times, slowly turning my head to take in my surroundings. I was in a hospital room, lying on a bed with an IV attached to my hand. Beside me sat my mother-in-law, looking rather unsettled as she watched me regain consciousness.For a moment, I simply stared at her.Then I lifted a hand to my forehead and winced."What happened?"She immediately leaned forward. "Lora? You're awake."I closed my eyes again, pressing my fingers against my temple. "My head hurts.""Oh, dear." She reached for my hand. "Don't move too much.

Chapter: Chapter 169: The Perfect Kiss **Elena** Excitement filled the air…laughter, cheers, the sound of drums and flutes blending with the echo of happy howls. The night sky above shimmered with stars, and the silver glow of the full moon hung high, as though watching over us. My palms were cold as my heart raced. I glanced at Xavier, and he was already looking at me… calm, steady, and so painfully handsome in his black ceremonial robe, trimmed with gold threads that reflected the moonlight. It was happening. After everything… it was finally happening. He took my hand, firm but gentle. His voice came out deep and clear. “I, Alpha Xavier Than,” he said, his gaze locked on mine, “accept you, Elena Downs, as my fated mate. Bonded by the Moon Goddess to live as one… forever.” The word forever hit differently. It wasn’t just a vow. It was a promise that felt too big for my chest to hold. My lips trembled slightly as I repeated the words. “I, Luna Elena Downs, accept you, Alpha Xavier Than, as my

Other times, he’d steal from it anyway and grin like a proud thief.It was infuriating.And also… oddly warm.When we finally finished, I stood up, stretching slightly. The clock read past nine. I yawned. “Well, I’m off to bed.”“Good idea,” he said.But instead of leaving, he went to the door, spoke to someone, and returned with his robe.“What are you doing?”“Getting ready.”“For what?”He looked me dead in the eyes. “To stay.”My jaw dropped. “You’re joking.”But he wasn’t. I heard the shower start running a moment later.“Oh my goddess,” I muttered, gripping my pillow. “This man is insane.”I bit my lip when I heard the door unlock again.Quickly, I turned to my side, pretending to be asleep.He came out in a robe, damp ha

For a second, it felt like everything was normal again… no pain, no secrets, no broken hearts.Oh, Moon Goddess, I thought. Would I be making a huge mistake if I decided to take Mortina’s confession to my grave?A single tear escaped again before I even noticed.“She’s crying,” Father said softly.“Yes, I am,” I replied quickly, laughing through the tears. “Because I want my turn with Papa.”Helena laughed, making space, and I joined them both in a warm embrace.“I’m sorry, Mortina,” I whispered silently. But I won’t let you ruin our happiness, even from your grave.Helena is my father’s daughter. And she and Xavier… just sister an

His eyes widened first, then softened in disbelief…like he was staring at a ghost.“Elena?” His voice cracked slightly.I smiled faintly. “I’m back.”The chair screeched as he jumped to his feet and lunged toward me, wrapping me so tight I almost stumbled.“Woah, careful!” I laughed, trying to steady myself.He pulled back, blinking fast, and then…like the dramatic idiot he’d always been, pinched my arm hard.“Ow!” I smacked his shoulder. “Dude, that hurt!”His lips parted, still in shock. “You’re real?”“No, it’s my ghost,” I said dryly, raising an eyebrow.He burst out laughing…half relieved, half emotional. “Th

The air smelled of jasmine and luxury.I forced a smile. My heart felt heavy, but I hid it behind a calm face.As I stepped out, my eyes caught Ivana’s from across the grand hall.She froze.Her face went pale…like she knew the amount of trouble she was in.The last time we saw each other, she betrayed me.
