LOGINI looked back at him again, but he had already buried his face against my legs, shoulders shaking with sobs he couldn't contain. This powerful king was groveling in the grass at my feet.He was in pain and so was I. The difference was that I saw his as deeper. The way his body shook, and his voice c
Today was a cold afternoon after the bar incident last night. I decided to stop beating around the bush with Xande and face him head on. So I visited the pack's grave.I wore a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a heavy black coat. With me, a bouquet of flowers in hand. As I stepped away from the r
It has been days since I saw him at the hospital. He still didn't dare visit.Here I am, in my office, gazing through the window looking like a lovesick fool. The building stretched before me and yet my eyes weren't fixated on any of it.I was beginning to get furious with his avoidance. It had me d

"My precious jewel. Wake up." Cold hands cupped my face. "Oh, Jewel." He whispered sweetly. Ugh, another tiring day. Can he just let me die? His creepy voice made my eyes snap in frenzy. I wanted to vomit but I could not since he only fed me a bread two days ago. He sat in bed beside me, an
