Disbelief
Chapter 5 - Disbelief
*Six Year's Ago*
"Nes," Damon shouted as he ran through the medical ward. I was in the middle of healing a trainee. A broken arm he had earned in a sparring match while training a little too hard.
Even though Damon had just become the new leader of the Royal Guards a few days ago, everyone had already started training harder than before. In the last three days, the number of injured trainees and even guards In need of our care had almost tripled.
"Nes," He shouted again, and I bit my lip as I tried to keep my focus. I could already sense Nova was about to ascend into a rant of respect for the sick and injured as soon as he found me.
"N-" Nova let out a sigh of irrit

Chapter 6 - VowsNesrin's POV"What have you done?" I muttered. Shock consumed me as I took in Apollo. Disbelief had worked its way through my mind."Such a disgrace," Ahmes growled, and I had a hard time disagreeing with her.I had only met Apollo a couple of times. One of those times was when we entrusted him to protect our sister."What happened to Imelda. Did you hurt her?" Damon growled. Those words seemed to snap Apollo out of the daze he was trapped in. Panic filled his violet eyes as he stared at us. His lips parted, but no words came out."Your sister is fine. He went a little crazy, but he claimed he would have never hurt her." Hector's voice was void of any emotion.

Balor questioned, looking at me like I was the dumbest person alive, and maybe he wasn't wrong. I blew out a deep breath."Yes," I said coldly."And why didn't I see it?"He asked, furrowing his brow."Dragons, they're old magic just like oracles, true Dacian, and dark magic. They can hide things from seers.""Of course." He said I could see he had more questions, but I really wanted to continue before deciding against it again."Now, will you let me
Dark Promises Deception
Chapter 8 - DeceptionNesrin"I need to go to Caspian tomorrow." I casually threw out as everyone ate their dinner in silence.The tension in our home was anything but calm since Imelda had left. It had been three weeks since she ran away. Ran away is the broad term of what she did since our mother refused to believe that all her children would blindside her like that and help our sister escape her arranged marriage from hell. Literally.Or at least that's what she wanted us to believe, but I knew she was just hurt that she wasn't involved in her escape plan.My mother arched a brow at me but didn't say a word as she took another bite of her roasted duck. I took her silence as my queue to continue talking."Garren is a friend of
Dark Promises Preparation
Chapter 9 - PreparationNesrinI stared at the book before me. It had been two weeks since I stole this from Garren's private library. I had hoped that after translating it, we would be on the right path. But all hope of doing this the easy way, easy being abroad term, dwindled away with each page we translated.I let out a groan, rubbing my hands down my face. We had looked at this book for hours, and everything we had found brought us to the same conclusion. The only way to get his wolf back was to take the pendant back.In order to do that, we would have to go into the dark realm find the witch who took it. Once we found her, we either found some way to take it from her without her realizing, hoping we got away fast enough. Or, my stomach turned at the thought. We would have to kill h
Dark Promises Red Handed
Chapter 10 - Red HandedNesrin"Again," Apollo ordered. My breathing was becoming heavy as I worked through the motions. It had been two weeks since we started training.I swore that anytime I thought I was getting better and finally matched him, he would only begin going harder than before, leaving me out of breath, bruised, and exhausted even more than before.After the first sparing session ended smoothly, Damon knew he couldn't stop us from continuing. That being said, Damon insisted on being present for every session. But I could tell he had relaxed a bit as he had to leave early today but allowed us to continue and gain some extra training time.I was also surprised when he told me that he, in fact, had kept Apollo our secret and that even our grandfather didn't know anything about him or his past.
Dark Promises Overstepping
Chapter 11 - OversteppingNesrinI bit my lower lip nervously. I pushed myself off of my door, holding my head high as I sat down on my bed."Do my parents know you're here?" I asked."Of course they do. Unlike you, I let the people I plan to visit know of my arrival." His voice clipped. I held back the urge to flinch at how cold his voice was."I didn't mean to make you angry, but you weren't there, you with, Imelda. I didn't plan to have it this long," I said, looking down at the ground."What did you intend to do then? Because stealing from me is one sure way to make me angry, Nes. You know how dangerous it is to steal from a dragon." Garren bit out. Something abo
Dark Promises Lies
Chapter 12 - Lies Nesrin A soft knock at my door woke me up. I hadn't realized that I had fallen asleep in the tub. The water was now cold after what must have been a couple of hours of me soaking in it. "Who is it?" I yelled as I got out of the tub. I used my air magic to dry myself off before slipping on my night dress. It was light pink and made of the softest silk available in Gardenia. The top and bottom were trimmed with delicate lace. I grabbed my hair and twisted it into a messy top knot before pinning it in place. "It's just me," My mother's voice sounded from the other side. I let out a deep breath preparing myself for what was to come. I wasn't sure what Garren had told her. I had no idea what kind of storm I was a
Dark Promises Bonded
Chapter 13 - BondedApolloI could feel the tension Nesrin was subconsciously sending through the bond. It was eating away at me slowly. Not only was she anxious, but I knew how exhausted she was. I knew she was on the verge of collapsing, and if she kept it up, I worried how much longer she would have.Nesrin had insisted on doing this alone, and I promised I would give her that, but now that I had, I couldn't stop the nagging feeling that kept telling me it was the wrong decision.I looked over at the twins as they slept soundly. Their chests rose at a steady pace. Their tiny hands formed into little fists and were now poking out of the little wraps we had put them in. I still couldn't believe we were blessed with two beautiful girls. I couldn't believe that with everything we had been through, we somehow managed to make it out alive.
