LOGINALBERTO’S POVI looked at the physician who shook his head as though disapproving of something as Sapphire laid in bed, her chest heaving as I caressed her forehead. “Is she going to be alright?” I asked with concern etched on my face, her hand clutched onto my sleeves as the physician had an obvious look on his face, yet, I wanted to hear him tell me what was going on.“She’s having an episode, I’m afraid it isn’t something I can handle” he admitted “I must be on my way my lord” he bowed slightly.“But she was fine yesterday then she had that dream but please, when you leave, find out some more, I do not know what could be the cause of her sudden illness” I said and he bowed once more taking his leave.“Do not worry so much” I heard a calm voice from behind me, but there wasn’t any one in the room before the doctor and I, I had made sure to dismiss them all but then I turned to look at her, her fair skin shimmering in the sunlight.“Lyra..” “Alpha supreme, I trust you’re doing fine
KAISER’S POVThe air felt different in my lungs, maybe it was because I had just done something I never thought I’d be able to do, fight side by side with the man I loved. His hand gave me a little squeeze reminding me that we were still walking together and that Madam Bingley had gone, leaving us to head back to the palace.“You alright?” Gonzalo whispered, leaning closer to my face, his haughty breath touching my skin. I nodded with approval, holding the hood of my cloak closer to my face as he did the same. Those assassins were quite skilled but since my powers weren’t as great as madam Bingley’s, I might as well just try to use what I’m good at, a dagger.The moment we got a horse, he let me hop on it, leading it until we could both get into the part of the country that would lead us back to the palace just in time for whatever was going to happen.“What do you think he meant by we’re too late?” I asked Gonzalo when we made our way into the inn for the night. I could feel a downp
ALBERTO’S POVI picked up my sheathed sword, my breathing steady as the silhouettes of these strangers were unclear to the naked eye but beyond crystal clear for mine. Slowly I tapped onto Kaiser who laid fast asleep.“Stay calm” I whispered in her ear, my palm over her mouth “Some people are outside the cottage, try to talk to Madam Bingley without moving” I suggested and she nodded in approval and turned to me.“She’s up and awake and she knows they’re outside?” She whispered back, taking off the shawl on her body and setting aside slowly when Madam Bingley came out of her room, unfazed.“Who’s there?” She asked in her cranky old voice, startling me that I almost ran to cover up her mouth as well. Whoever these strangers are, they’re skilled and well equipped with malicious intent, I could feel it under my skin.There was no response to her call.“Please try not to make a sound..they might start attacking and they’re numerous” I warned softly.“There’s fourteen of them, three out th
ALBERTO’S POVI could tell from the expression of their faces that this plan was the best option I could find, weeding out the shifters in my midst, and it was all thanks to Sapphire who held onto her amulet and asked that everyone did the same.“Is..is this some sort of poison? Alpha supreme” An elder’s voice rippled through the already chaotic crowd “Why are they dropping like flies?”“Those who you see on the ground, affected, tainted and probably withering are shifters. Do you see the soldiers at every door” I paused, letting them take a look “They all have these around them. The reason why our court falls short is because we have been infiltrated” I explained.The crowd who still had the amulets clutched to their chests murmured as they moved away from the withering skin of those who had fallen.“But that's not all” General Kaelan spoke up “Long before now, I thought that we would be fightbagsunst this pack but recently, a marriage alliance is underway to be formed once we fight
GONZALO’S POVIt’s been sixteen days since we came out here. I know how long it’s been because I’ve been counting the nights I have watched her become exhausted, over and over again for a just cause.“Stop thinking about the past!” Madam Bingley yelled from outside. I took out the teakettle from the stove and poured the tea into two cups on the tray and I took it out to them.“I’m trying so hard not to!” She yelled back, her legs folded in a rather uncomfortable position “It’s not like I can control my thoughts” “Yes you can! You’re just too stubborn” Madam Bingley scolded. I stared at this fragile looking woman who felt like she couldn’t hurt a fly the first day we came and now looks like she could destroy a village with that dainty walking stick she always held.“You need to be able to channel your energy and use it to your advantage. You’re a soul speaker girl. Use what you have” she turned to me “Bring me the saffron tea” my body quivered at her voice, how was she so authoritativ
ALBERTO’S POVIt had been three days since the last communication from Veron, my internal spy. His last letter had said that Enzo had been planning something, and I couldn’t help but worry about him, this was a mission he volunteered to do months ago and even though I knew that he had infiltrated Enzo’s place, he didn’t have enough time to warn me about shapeshifters.“Everything alright my love?” Sapphire asked, her thin, silk chemise covering parts of her skin that I could still see through. “Yeah..everything’s fine” I answered with a smile on my lips but she didn’t look convinced, her eyes had gone low, her lips pursed like she wanted to say something when there was a knock on the door interrupting us.Quickly, I climbed off the bed, threw on my robe and steadied my sword in hand “Who dares to disturb me?” I asked, awaiting a response.“It is I, my lord, Hastings” he hastily answered and my mind eased up a bit as I opened the door and stood out in the hallway. Hastings had an enve
Sapphire's POV The strange guy didn't answer my question, he just turned away like he was too scared to speak. I suddenly felt dizzy and lost my balance. The cold metal bars pressed against my back as I slumped against the side of the cage. I could feel every ridge and every rusted spot digging i
Sapphire’s POVI felt a firm hand hold me up to prevent me from falling but my visions were still blurry and the whole flashbacks felt too much to comprehend. I remember Alpha Alberto and his brother fighting and then everything turned pitch black. How am I in this strange body? I should be dead,
Sapphire’s POVI heard the sound of my door creaking and I opened my eyes slowly, my whole body felt sore and it felt like I had been asleep for a very long time. I looked around but nothing was familiar. The bed is different from the usual as it feels so cozy and the sunlight came in from a differ
Alberto’s POVI have no idea why I threatened her but a part of me felt drawn and connected to her. I can't explain it, but I wanted her alive at all cost to the point that I didn't realize when I threatened her to live. Lately, I have been feeling tense because my identical twin brother kept doin
