Sapphire’s pov

I let out a deep sigh of relief as I settled into my bed, feeling the weight of the evening's events slowly lifting off my shoulders. Dinner had been a trial by fire, a delicate balancing act of tension and deception.

I had managed to navigate it, barely, but the effort had left me drained. I slipped off my dress, exchanging it for the soft comfort of my sleeping gown.

As I fell onto the bed, I couldn't help but think that this had to be one of the toughest things I'd ever done. The tension, the lies, the constant need to be on guard...it was exhausting.

Just as I was starting to drift off, I heard a knock at the door. "Yes, who is it?" I asked, my voice tired.

"It's me, Sapphire," my father's voice replied.

I hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes, please come in."

My father entered, his expression a mixture of concern and approval. "You did well today, Sapphire. For most of the time, at least."

I felt a twinge of guilt, knowing that I had struggled to maintain

    Sapphire’s povAfter calming the pack, Dad, Dimitri, and I headed inside, our discomfort palpable. We gathered around the fireplace, the crackling flames casting flickering shadows on our faces. Mary came in and set the fire, her eyes filled with sympathy."Who did it?" I asked in a hushed tone, my gaze fixed on the flames. My reaction was still raw, my emotions simmering just below the surface."Pardon me?" Father asked, his brow furrowed in confusion."Who started the fire, Father?" I pressed, my voice firm but controlled. "You must have known who it was."Sadly, we don't," Father replied, his expression somber."Well, are you trying every day to find out?" I asked, my frustration growing.Father sighed, his eyes tired. "Look, Sapphire, it's late. Finding the person won't bring your sister back, so let's just drop the issue.

    Sapphire’s pov“My sister is gone?”Dimitri's arm wrapped around me, holding me close as I trembled with shock and grief. Father's face was etched with sorrow, his eyes filled with tears."I'm so sorry, Sapphire," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I should have been able to save her."I shook my head, unable to speak. The weight of my loss was crushing me, making it hard to breathe. Dimitri's grip on me tightened, holding me upright.Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the night air. A group of riders emerged from the darkness, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames of our burning estate.One of the riders dismounted, rushing towards us.his face set in a grim expression."I'm so sorry," he said, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get you out of here, now. The fire is spreading fast.

    Sapphire’s povAfter my bath, Mary bid me goodnight and left, closing the door softly behind her. I slipped into my nightgown, my mind still reeling from the events of the day. What had the fortune teller meant, especially when she'd called Dimitri and me a couple? I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts. Taking a deep breath, I slowly drifted off to sleep.But my rest was short-lived. It felt like mere hours had passed before I stirred, groggily opening my eyes to find my room shrouded in a thick, eerie fog. I sat up with a start, my heart racing as I realized that my entire room was filled with smoke.I began coughing, my lungs burning from the smoke. Soon, screams echoed from outside, and I quickly stepped out into the chaos. Maids were running wildly, their faces panicked. I rushed to Father's room to rescue him, but he wasn't there.I turned to see the fire had already consumed part

    Sapphire’s povThe silence between us was thick, and Dimitri's expression was unreadable. It wasn't my place to ask what was on his mind, so I didn't."Is that all for the day?" he finally asked."No, actually," I replied. "We still have to see the village fortune teller.""Oh, a fortune teller," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "How interesting. Well, lead the way."The air felt lighter as we walked towards the fortune teller's home.“ so do you believe in fortune telling” I asked to cut the silence“ no I don’t, but it’s nice others do, I just don’t”Oh okay.. I actually don’t either” I lied I really doAs we approached the fortune teller's place, I couldn't shake the feeling that we

    Sapphire’s povThe next day, I woke up with a sense of determination. I was going to do everything in my power to avoid Dimitri and anything that had to do with him. After a quick breakfast, I gathered my things, ready to head out to the village for some work that needed my attention. Just as I reached the door, my father called out to me, his voice echoing with authority.“Is everything okay, Father?” I asked, halting mid-step, my heart racing slightly at the unexpected interruption.“I have some matters to discuss with your sister,” he replied, his tone serious. “So why don’t you take Dimitri for your morning patrol?”My stomach churned at the mention of his name. “Uhm, Father, I’m sure the Lycan King won’t want to see some villagers,” I protested, trying to mask the rising panic within me.But before I could finish my thought, Dimitri’s voice cut through the air, smooth and confident. “No, I would actually love to come.”I felt heat rush to my cheeks, a mix of frustration and embar

    Sapphires povDimitri leaned against the counter, a smirk playing on his lips as he took another gulp of water. “You know I’m the lycan king, right? I could smell you from a mile away.” His gaze remained fixed on the cup, not even bothering to look in my direction. My heart raced at his words—how did he know? When did he realize? With a resigned sigh, I stepped out from behind the door, feeling the weight of his presence.“If you knew I was there, then why didn’t you say so sooner? You had to make me feel dumb?” I shot back, my voice laced with a playful cunning as I approached him.“Cause I liked how cute you think you can hide from me.” Really? I raised an eyebrow, intrigued, as I closed the distance between us, stopping just inches away. I could feel his heartbeat, the intoxicating scent of him filling the air. A smile crept onto my face as I remembered my earlier thirst. I turned to pour some water into the cup, finally acknowledging my own needs. Taking a sip, I moved away fro
