“Thomas!” I scream his name while rushing towards him.
He’s choking, but I can’t see why. It doesn’t make sense, there is nothing wrapped around his throat, but he’s trying to pull something away.
“Stay where you are, Princess Lillian.”
I stop in my tracks and blink at the handsome man addressing me. He seems familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen him before.
“What the hell have you done to this girl, Thomas? You have her parading around in next to nothing; the Princess of Zidiah!”
“Please, let him go,” I beg, but the man shakes his head with a smile on his face. “Please?”
“I can’t do that, Lilly. This man is wanted for treas
Listening to Tobias explain how he found Lilly is breaking me. Thomas has fucked with Lilly's mind so much that she believes they’re mates. All the times Lilly has been with Thomas, they’ve engaged in a relationship, even sexual. All those times I felt weak or pain in my body, it was because Lilly had been intimate with that monster. My heart is broken. I know I can’t blame Lilly for the things that have happened; none of it was her fault. But it doesn’t stop the pain. That motherfucker Thomas is the one to blame, the one I will tear to pieces! He beat Lilly whenever she wouldn’t or couldn’t do what he wanted. He humiliated her and turned my mate into someone unrecognisable. Orrin believes that if Lilly weren’t dealing with the gri
“Thank you for this,” I smile at Xylia.“You are most welcome, my dear.”I didn’t sleep well last night. Blood Fire Castle is a vast place and is quite creepy. All the strange noises kept me awake most of the night.I also couldn’t stop thinking about Thomas. No one had mentioned him, nor would they speak of Thomas when asked.Grace, however, slept the whole night through. She’s been surprisingly well-behaved since we arrived here. Xylia explained that perhaps Grace feels safe here; therefore, I should not worry so much.I was feeding Grace from the bottle Myra brought to me this morning when Xylia came to my room. She smiled at me as I lay Grace down, then asked if I found my accommodation comfortable.How could I not?
I needed a break from everything, so I came to the highest point of Blood Fire Mountain. I can breathe up here where there’s no one but me.I need to collect my thoughts and breathe through them. I couldn’t do that back at the castle; too many people were milling about the place.It’s good of Tobias to let me and the others stay here for a while. But I have to admit that I can’t wait to get back home.I miss Greenrock more than I miss any place right now.I miss running with my packmates and leading them in battle when needed. I miss leading my people as their Alpha.I wish I could be back home, running the pack the way I used to and having them look up to me.I should be behind my desk right now, checking out leads on my sister. Not that there w
I’m too shocked to speak.I had no idea wolves could be so large. The black wolf with white ears has to be at least eight feet tall.I’m too scared to move an inch, and my heart is pounding so hard inside my chest that I can feel it in my throat!‘Don’t be scared; he won’t hurt you.’ I hear that voice again inside my head – the voice of a female, whispering.I don’t know who she is, but I listen. If she says not to be scared, I trust her that the wolf won’t hurt me.I don’t know why I believe her, but I do.I drop to my knees in awe when the wolf begins to shrink in size before my eyes. He’s now at least three feet shorter.I had no idea wolves could do that!
“Anja, please, this is not the way.”I snatch my arm from Xylia’s grip. “Not your way, you mean. It’s not your daughter lying in a bed, stuck in a coma!”“No, it isn’t, but . . .”“No, buts! Vasara has Lilly locked in a coma for her own protection. She won’t release my daughter until the spell breaks. You said yourself that neither you nor Tobias knows when that will be, and I won’t wait!”When I heard Lilly screaming in her room, I ran to her, only to find my child passed out on the floor. I called for Orrin, yet it seemed everyone followed him to see why I was yelling. I guess I panicked them all.Tobias sent for a doctor, who told us that he couldn’t find anything wrong with Lilly.Dr
I don’t know how I ended up in a forest. But I’ve been wandering around for about an hour. I haven’t seen a single person, not one.It’s so quiet here, not to mention peaceful. I don’t feel scared as such, but I am anxious as to how I got here.The last thing I remember is Thomas’s voice in my head, the females also, then nothing. I woke up on the ground in the woods, and I don’t know how to find my way back.I seem to be going around in circles, always returning to the same taller than tall tree.“Hello!” I yell for the umpteenth time while looking around. “Is anybody there?”I walk for a while longer.There has to be a way out of here. I need to get back to Grace; I don’t even know if Myra is taki
I watch Lilly sleeping, her hand in mine, and I pray this doesn’t last too long. I’ve spent long enough without her.Anja says that Lilly won’t wake until Vasara is sure the spell is broken. But how long that will take is anyone’s guess.I don’t know what’s going on inside Lilly’s head, but I hope she’s okay in there. I pray that she’s safe and that she comes back to me in one piece.I miss Lilly so much, and I feel so weak without her.I heard about what happened in the dungeons between Anja and Thomas. I had no idea my mother-in-law could be so ruthless.Xylia filled me in when she came by a couple of hours ago.According to the Dragon Queen, Anja made Thomas think that Lilly had broken free from the hold he had on
“She looks like she’s enjoying kicking that guy’s arse.” I laugh to myself.‘Not many wanted to spar with you.’ Vasara tells me. ‘You didn’t seem to know the difference between training and killing.’“Please tell me that I didn’t kill anyone,”‘No, you didn’t kill anyone here. You did break a fair few bones, though,” She chuckles.Vasara and I are sitting beside the lake, watching a vision of myself training with the Royal troops. I’ve been watching myself spar with a big built man by the name of Matthew.According to Vasara, I would often follow Luther to the training field. Luther trained the King’s warriors, and I felt the need to get in on the action.
