Rosalind
I froze in my spot as I looked at her cunning smirk. I quickly got back on track, though. I didn’t want her to think that I went somewhere last night.
“What do you mean? I was just here,” I said innocently.
Her smirk slowly transformed into a scowl, and I saw her tighten her hold onto my sheets, wrinkling the white cloth.
“Tell me the truth while I’m still acting nice. Where did you go last night?”
I sighed and still continued on with my act. “I told you, mom. I didn’t go anywhere last night.”
She scoffed. “So, now I’m your mom when you’ve done something wrong.”
I held in the urge to roll my eyes. My parents usually wouldn’t care about my well-being. If I had gone missing for a couple of days, they probably would not have noticed until they saw my face plastered all over the media. What makes this situation different?

AxelRosalind went to her room while I went to an abandoned attic in the palace. This is where I placed all of my weapons in case I needed to use them. I took the entire backpack of weapons and made sure to close the attic before leaving.Before going back to the stable, I wanted to check up on Rosalind to see if she was already resting, so I took a longer route just to visit her room.When I got there, I didn’t expect another person to be in Rosalind’s room. I narrowed my eyes to get a closer look and saw that it was Desdemona, Rosalind’s mother.Thinking that I should just leave the mother-and-daughter pair all alone, I quietly went on my way. However, I suddenly heard them arguing, leading me to go back to my hiding spot.As I listened to their argument, I couldn’t help but wonder what their real relationship was. I feel like I shouldn’t be listening in on their conversation, but my curiosity got t

AxelI woke up feeling warm and with a light weight on top of my chest. I didn't have to open my eyes to infer that it was Rosalind. It seems like she still hasn’t moved from her position ever since we started napping.I groggily glanced at the clock on the bedside table and almost sat up in surprise. However, I stopped myself from doing so because I didn’t want to wake Rosalind up.I’d already been sleeping for three hours, and the sun was about to set. I looked at the forgotten backpack of weapons on the floor and cursed under my breath.“Shit, I need to go to the stable.”I looked at Rosalind and smiled when she snuggled deeper into my chest. However, I erased that smile when I realized that I still needed to interrogate Alpha Nathan regarding his situation with Logan.I carefully lifted Rosalind’s head out of my chest and placed it on her pillow. I slowly stood up from the bed and saw

RosalindWithout opening my eyes, I reached out to the spot next to me. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw Axel lying down next to me. I don't know whether he stayed with me the whole time, but my heart fluttered when I saw him next to me last night.I was expecting to feel a familiar warmth, but the space next to me felt empty. I opened my eyes to see if he was still beside me, but to my disappointment, he was not.I mean, what did I expect?I trudged towards the bathroom, bearing a sour mood due to Axel's absence. However, it quickly dissipated into thin air when I saw a sticky note stuck to the bedside lamp."Training :)"I smiled when I saw his note. It was just one word, but it was enough to make my heart beat faster.I kept the sticky note in one of my treasure boxes and changed into more decent clothes before going out of my bedroom and into the kitchen.My stomach growled when

RosalindEver since Axel interfered with our family argument two days ago, Desdemona has been more silent than usual. She hasn't been bothering me at all, and even Venice is cautious with her words and actions whenever we come across each other.Sebastian, Axel, and I were all seated down on the ground playing some type of board game. Axel and I wanted to rest more, but Sebastian barged into our room, holding a scrabble board. He told us that he didn't have anything to do in the servant's quarters, so he came up here after stealing one of the board games displayed in our living room.The game was nearing its end, and it was Sebastian's turn to place down his letters. The game has become progressively hard since we don't have any spare letters to pick from anymore."Arter?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion. "Is that even a word?"Axel also frowned beside me."Yeah. It's what they call people who make a

RosalindAm I...dead?Is this what it feels like to lose all consciousness in your body?I guess it doesn't feel that bad. It feels...good, to be honest. I don't feel any joy or pain. I just feel...nothing. I am numb.Suddenly, I felt like something was being pumped out of my body, and I had the urge to take a deep breath.The darkness that once covered my view became white, and I saw the vast blue sky from where I was. I took in a deep breath and sat up from my position.My vision was blurred, so I closed my eyes and shook my head in hopes of clearing it. Once my vision was clear, I looked around the area until I came across a familiar handsome face by my side."Fuck. You had me worried there," Axel said, hugging me in his arms.I was still in a daze, so I wasn't able to hug him back. I just sat there, unmoving, as I recalled everything that had happened a while back.As I calmed my m

Rosalind"What?" I asked, my mouth agape.He patted his lap. "Sit," he casually said."No!" I shook my head. "Are you out of your mind? Can't we just sit close to each other?"He sighed. "Fine, come here," he said, gesturing to the spot next to him.I sighed in relief and scooted closer to him. However, he suddenly placed one of his arms around my waist and the other under my thighs. He effortlessly picked me up and placed me down on his lap, caging me in his arms and leaving me no place to escape."What the hell are you doing?" I exclaimed, trying to move out of his grip."See? Isn't that better?" he asked. "Don't you feel the heat created by our bodies?"When he said that, I suddenly realized just how warm I felt. I don't know whether it was the warmth from his body or the warmth from the embarrassment that I was feeling—maybe both.I sighed and just leaned back on his muscular

RosalindFireworks.Fireworks from the anger that I felt for Sebastian."Oh, there you guys are! Fuck, I've been searching for you for two hours. Are you both alright?" he asked, walking over to where we were.I hastily moved away from Axel while clearing my throat.I know that I should be thankful for Sebastian since he was able to find us, but there was an unexplainable anger and disappointment brewing in my heart.Axel sighed deeply and roughly rubbed his face with his hands.He stood up from his seat and grumbled something under his breath. I didn't hear what he said, but it was along the lines of punching Sebastian."Why does it look like you're not happy to see me? Shouldn't you thank me for finding your location?"I mindlessly nodded my head. "Yeah, yeah. Thank you.""Thanks," Axel said silently and insincerely.Sebastian clicked his tongue. "Maybe I shouldn'

Rosalind"Like how you gave up on mom?"My father's mouth went agape, and even Desdemona and Venice, who usually had a lot to say, were surprised and weren't able to utter any words.I don't know how long it took for them to recover from the shock of my statement, but we stood in silence for what felt like an eternity.In contrast to my father's reprimanding voice just moments ago, his voice suddenly became significantly softer—almost broken."How can you say that, Rosalind?"I chuckled emotionlessly. "What? Did I say something wrong? It's the truth! You talk big about my mate giving up on me when you yourself gave up on your mate—on mom, on ME!""Rosalind—,"I didn't let him get a word out as I continued with my outburst."You threw away the years that you spent with mom and replaced them with a woman who doesn't give two shits about our kingdom!" I screamed, pointing at Desdemona. "Y
