RYKEN.

The nights are colder.

My eyelids parted with the thought as I awoke, staring at the ceiling as my head ached.

All my years as king, and not one troubled night.

Except now.

My wolf had tormented me through the darkness, the bastard.

“And you deserved every waking moment of it.” Was his arrogant reply.

“Quiet.” I reached up to pinch the bridge of my nose, hoping to soothe the headache.

“Like you could ever make me.” He paced in my mind. “How could you do that?” He genuinely sounded hurt, how ridiculous.

I didn’t respond. I had heard enough of his voice for one day.

I rose from the bed with a quiet sigh, crossed the expanse of the room and past the archway to the bath room.

I slipped out of my robe, taking slow steps down as I sunk into the pool, a sigh escaping my lips as the water formed ripples around me in the perfect temperature.

I leaned against the head rest, staring at the copper coated ceiling.

In the darkness of the morning it glowed with the ripples of the bath

    SAPPHIRE.After dinner, Marlv’ and the woman that dished the soup, who everyone called Savvha, led us all into the hallway, designating rooms for us to share. “And the both of you can stay in the last room to your left.” Savvha smiled at Bujok and I as she pointed to the last door down the hall. “Thank you.” I bowed slightly in appreciation.“You are lucky-" Savvha waved me off with a laugh as she and Marlv walked away. “It has one of the best views of the lands.” “And it is also my room.” Menah appeared from the living room, looking proud with her arms crossed as she grinned.“Well that is so encouraging.” Bujok snorted, his brows lowered in disappointment as we walked to the door, and her grin fell.“If you do not want it, you are more than free to sleep on the parlor floor.” Menah widened her eyes in warning. “I am not exactly rolling in the grassy fields to have you as my boarder.”“It’s alright, Menah.” I held her arm with a small smile, hoping to ease her anger as we reached

    SAPPHIRE.“When is this event taking place?” I whispered as I wiped the dinning table, the dark wood smooth and glossy.“The date is never really specified,” Menah placed the clean table cloths after I wiped, the intricate gold embroidery matching perfectly with the dark wood. “-But it always happens on the day of the full blood moon.” She explained, adjusting one of the table cloths with the tips of her fingers until it aligned with the others. “I hear the king and his courts' power is even greater in the reddened night.”“Really..?” I moved forward as I wiped the edges, finally done. “It is all rumors, but who can say.” Menah shrugged as she placed the last cloth after me. “As if the Lycans were not strong enough.”She stood to her full length, stretching out as she groaned. We were finally done with the royal dinning, after hours upon hours of cleaning. “The women from the garden will bring in the selected seasonal flowers for the vase tomorrow. “ Menah said as she stared at the

    CHAPTER 12.Oh Goddess, do not let him see me.Do not let him see me.Do not let him see me.I prayed silently in my mind as I walked down the main hall, my heart pounding rapidly in my chest, my mouth drier than ever as I swallowed. My legs shook with each step.The architecture here was nearly identical, with the exception of a few more golden decoration, more portrait of royals, more shut doors over seven feet tall encrusted with stones and marble. More..quiet.But everything was practically the same, The floor was the same white and gold veined marble, the decorated ceiling as high as always.But, I caught my reflection in one of the mirrors hung on the walls as I passed. And the terror I found in my widened eyes nearly startled me. The North wing was.. different.It was in the air. Something. Something I could not quantify. The pressure I felt hovering over me was too strong. Even though there was no royal in the hall as I walked deeper, just guards stationed on alert, far mor

    SAPPHIRE I had long grown silent as they dragged me back to the stables. The guards threw me inside without much care, dusting their hands as they turned to leave.“Blast! I’ve got her stench all over me!” One of them scoffed as he walked off.“Don’t exaggerate.” The other guard chucked dryly as they left. “You barely touched the thing.”Right.I reached up to wipe my tear stricken cheeks as I sat up, pulling my knees to my chest as I cried. I was just a thing.Another item that took up space in the palace. A slave.No wonder he stared at me like that.Crimson eyes flashed in my mind. The image will forever torment me. His pure disgust. Towards me.His own mate.I sniffed as I stared round the stable when my tears finally dried, my face blank as a lifeless laugh escaped my lips, my throat hoarse.The Goddess must enjoy playing wicked games with me.Considering I always lose.I was not called back after the guards dragged me away. In all honestly, I was partly relieved that I didn’t

    SAPPHIRE I ran faster than I ever thought possible. But I didn’t even know where I was going.Somehow I made it out the hidden pathways without getting lost, shutting the secret door behind me with a labored breath. My feet carried me straight down the hallway, as far away as I could get from that door, from him. When I felt my tears pour out I reached for the nearest door I could find. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this.I didn’t have the strength to explain.I wrapped my arms round myself as I entered, there was no one present, and I was eternally grateful for that. I shut the door after me shakily, reaching up to cover my quivering lips, tears threatening to spill out of my eyes as I shook, turning away from the door.Sobs ripped out of me as I fell to my knees on the marble floor, my bandaged wounds ached badly, my hands pressed tight to my chest as I shook.Everything hurt. I sucked in a shaky breath, trying to calm myself, but nothing worked! Oh, goddess..What was I ev
