Saraphina

There’s only one way out of the palace, and that’s through the gates. I wasn’t sure what Lilian had planned, but I kept following her.

We walked through the dark corners of the castle. I was so tired and weak, but I kept moving, using the fact that the king was busy to my advantage.

Suddenly, Lilian stopped in her tracks. She looked around, but it was only the two of us and the flames that burned brightly lighting our path.

“We have to go back,” she said, voice low and observant. My heart jumped at her words I didn’t want to go back. I wanted to leave. I needed to.

“What are you talking about?”

“Saraphina, if we don’t go back now, they will find us and when they do, it’s not going to be good. No one escapes from the king.”

Her voice drove horror into me, but I was still confused. How did she know we were going to find us when there was no guards in this parts and no guards behind us? Even though this place looked like a dead end. I still had hopes of leaving this horrible pl

    LucianThere were so many bodies on the ground. I had tried to hold my wolf back, but I wasn’t strong enough.Saraphina was on the ground, covered in blood, ash, and bruises.I rushed to her side, and there was blood dripping from her eyes.“Saraphina...” I pulled her into my arms. She was out cold, her breathing shallow.I felt weak, but I couldn’t stay here. Whatever attacked us, I wouldn’t give it a second chance.I carried her in my arms and walked through the woods, unsure of how deep I was.“Stay with me, Saraphina,” I whispered beneath my breath as I continued moving.I couldn’t lose her. I wasn’t going to not now. Even when my body was giving out, I pushed forward, not stopping.The forest was so dark, and my vision was becoming blurred. I was losing strength with every step I took.I looked at her face her skin pale, lips cracked. She looked starved, like she hadn’t eaten in days.From a distance, I started hearing sounds of hooves, and they kept coming closer. I walked towar

    Saraphina"Help… me, somebody help me, please."A group of people stood around a bonfire. They looked like they were brain-dead at some point—I was so horrified."What do you want from me… please just let me go," I started pleading with the man who stood aside now, just watching me.No one was saying anything. Everyone was dead silent—just the wood burning under the fire. That was the only sound I was hearing."Somebody answer me!" I screamed, but they didn’t flinch. Everyone just stood like a spell was cast on them to freeze.But the man and the woman who I had seen earlier stood apart from the crowd.What was going on here? It wasn’t long ago everyone was chanting, now no one was saying anything.A heavy wind started to blow—that was when I realized the shift. It was unexplainable but powerful.Everyone bowed, but I couldn’t see why, so I stood looking around, confused, heart almost tearing out of my chest.The silence was deafening, and it was only the sound of the bonfire that fil

    Lucian"Stop… stop."I covered my ears with my hands, but the noise didn’t sound like it was coming from around the forest—it felt like it was coming from inside my mind.What was happening? It looked like everything was spinning, the ground was rotting underneath my feet.Let the monster out, King Lucian, a deep voice spoke, but I couldn’t see anyone. It came from the shadows."Show yourself…" I yelled out in frustration, my head spinning."Come fight me like a man."The voice echoed again, dark, dangerous.Who said I was a man? I am darkness, and you can’t face me.Let your monster out.I felt my wolf chewing its way to the surface, but the force felt unusual—like whatever this was had the power to command my wolf from inside me.Even with your beast, King Lucian, you do not stand a chance against me.The voice filled my mind like smoke, slipping little by little into my ears, lungs, and soul. I staggered backward, my knees almost giving out. I couldn’t hold myself up any longer. Ev

    SaraphinaUgh...ugh.I slowly opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything. I was in so much pain, everywhere ached. I slowly stretched my shaky hands to support myself on the cold, hard floor.Everywhere was completely dark… what happened? I felt a pang of pain from the back of my head. When I reached and touched it, my hair was damp and sticky.That wasn't water.That couldn't be water… the last thing I remember was trying to cross over a particular river and something hit me on the head.What happened?Panic settled in my chest. I forced myself to sit up. Where was I? My clothes were cold and clung to my skin. My breath was shallow and fast. The air was so cold it made me shiver.Suddenly, I heard a sound coming from the darkness. I bit my lips and listened to the dripping.The sound of water somewhere in the distance—but it didn’t smell like water. It had a metallic smell to it, like blood.My entire body froze in fear. I was trying so hard not to scream. I could hear sounds, but I

    Lucian"My lord… what do you have to say about the recent development?"I was in a haze of my own thoughts, and whatever they had just said, I wasn't paying any attention.I tapped my hands rhythmically on my side. I felt so restless. It wasn’t just me—it was also my wolf. It felt like I could not breathe.I didn’t wait for them to finish; I just got up and walked out of there, needing space to breathe.I held my chest once I was out of there, and I groaned in pain. I didn’t understand what was actually happening."Saraphina…" I breathed.My senses became super heightened, but I could not smell her. I quickly made my way to my chambers where I'd left her this morning, but she was gone.I couldn’t sense her presence even in the palace, not just in the room."Get me Darius!" I yelled at the guards that stood outside my quarters. And within seconds, he was standing in front of me."The maid—she’s gone."He looked at me, surprised for a moment."Isn’t she in the servants’ quarters?""No,

    SaraphinaThroughout the entire day, I was panicking.Was I actually about to do this?Why was I even having second thoughts?I hadn’t seen Lucian all day. I had already changed back into my maid's uniform, and that was when the doors opened—And Lilian walked in."Are you ready to go?" she asked in a calm voice.I wasn’t sure what to say. I just stood frozen in place."How do I know I can trust you?" I asked. "It feels like you just disappear and reappear at your own convenience. Do you even work at the palace?""Of course I do. I just work in a different wing. Please trust me..."She was so convincing. So I followed her without another word.The halls were dimly lit, the golden glow from the candles making everything feel warm, but my insides were cold. I wasn't sure what I was doing.What if we ran into Lucian?We walked in silence, her pace quick and confident—like she’d done this a hundred times before. I didn’t ask questions. I was too scared of the answers.But what terrified m
