Alaria:

I ran my fingers through my daughter's hair as she slept.

And though I tried to deny the clench that I felt, I tried to comfort her as best as I could. I couldn't now with everything that was going on. Not when I knew that things were just getting out of hand. Completely out of hand. And now, no matter how hard I was trying, I just couldn't get any control over them.

“Are they going to hurt us, Mama?” Her question, though so innocent, has caught me so off guard that I did not even know how to answer. Because I wanted to. I wanted to tell her that she was safe. I wanted to tell her that no one was going to hurt her. But the fact, the reality, everything that was going around, it all just proved otherwise.

But I knew one thing, Neither one of us could stay here for her safety. If she was going to be able to live her life as normally as I wanted her to, she was not going to be able to stay here. No one was going to be helping me sustain her here. And I knew that it was only a mat

    Alaria:I didn’t stop holding her.I couldn't, especially after being deprived from her for the first time in my life. Especially since I found out what it was Not to have her around me, not to have her in my arms, not to sleep with her by my side. Not to know how she was, whether or not she was eating. I just couldn't let her go.Even after the door slammed shut behind him, even after his heavy footsteps faded down the corridor, I kept my arms wrapped tight around Anastasia as she cried into my chest. “They didn't want to bring me, Mama. I asked them. I told him I want you. I told them to go away. They did not go away.”Her little body trembled, her fists clinging to my dress like if she let go, she’d disappear too. As if she would wake up from a dream, more specifically into a nightmare that she did not want to be in.“I’m here,” I murmured into her curls. “Mama’s here. You’re safe now. Nothing’s going to hurt you. No one is going to take you from me. I promise you I'm not going to

    Liam:Her slap still burned my cheek as I stalked down the corridor, but what burned more was the memory of her voice…"You don’t get to take her from me. Not again. Not like this."I told myself that I wouldn’t give in. I told myself that I would not let her get inside my head. And yet that was exactly what I was doing.The guards followed at a safe distance, silent as I made my way to the east wing where Anastasia had been taken.My chest ached with each step that I took, and for a few seconds I found it harder for myself to breathe as I approached her room.I told myself I was in control.I told myself this was for her own good.I told myself that this was going to be the way that she would know me as her father, that she would understand that I was no stranger to her.But then I saw her.And something in me cracked something that I did not think existed, something that I did not even want to understand or think about.She sat on the cold marble floor, knees pulled up, her little f

    Alaria:The door was heavy. The silence heavier.But to say that I was angry would be an understatement to how I was feeling.The guards posted outside barely glanced at me as they brought in the tray of food and left without a word. I glared at the untouched tray. Much like the others, I have been watching them bring them in and take them out. I refused to eat, I refused to allow them to think that they could weaken or break me.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing, my arms folded tightly across my chest.Until I heard it.Small fists banging on the door.“Mama! Mama! Let me see Mama!”My stomach dropped. My hands clenched into fists against my arms.“Please! I want to see my Mama!” Her little voice cracked, and my whole body went cold. “Open the door. Why won't you let me see Mama?”Then another voice, deep, calm, and hard, cut through her cries.“Enough, Anastasia,” Liam said. “Your mother… did something wrong. And now she has to deal with the consequence. Sometimes whe

    Liam:Something was off.Everything about what was going on seemed to be quiet. Too quiet for my liking, for my acceptance or understanding. And though I wanted to think that it was nothing that I should be worried about, I couldn't help it.She was quiet. And after everything that went on, I knew that Alaria would not be quiet, even if it meant costing her own life for it.Even now, standing on the balcony, I watched her move below in the courtyard, her hand resting on Anastasia’s shoulder, her eyes downcast but steady. She didn’t flinch at passing glances. She didn’t meet anyone’s gaze.She didn't even seem to bother, though. I knew that just yesterday, not only was she concerned, but she was furious, livid even, about what Claire had said, about what she had heard about our argument.Today she looked calm.And I’d known her long enough to know that meant trouble.I knew her long enough to know the wind. She was too calm. It meant that she was planning something, that she had someth

    Liam:The door slammed behind me harder than I meant.But I didn’t care.To say that I was furious would be an understatement to how I was feeling.I paced the length of my office, hands clenched at my sides, heart hammering. Every word Claire had spat still rang in my ears. Every word Alaria had thrown back at me burned like a fresh scar.I could still see her.Her arms crossed, her chin lifted, her eyes full of fire.Daring me.Telling me she’d leave, like I didn’t have the right to stop her.And Claire, standing there, shrieking about heirs and bastards and Lunas.I dragged a hand through my hair, my fingers shaking.I’d never hated this house more than I did in that moment.A sharp knock on the door.“Unless anyone is dying, I would suggest that you go away.” I said, knowing that it was Kai who was outside.But it opened anyway. He couldn't care less about how I felt or what I was saying. The man wanted to hear what I had to say. He wanted order, and this drama was one that he cou
