LOGINAuthor’s POVSage felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. She dug into it and took it out, heart racing as she did so. A part of her wanted to ignore the message, it wasn’t worth it but she had already come this far. She wouldn’t back out now, this was for her people. She opened the message and read it to herself. Almost successfulThat was the cue, there was nothing else to be said. Slowly, she sat up on the bed and closed her eyes, catching her breath for a minute. There was one more thing to do to ensure the success was complete. Despite it’s consequences, there was no turning back now. She stood up from the bed.She looked at Tristan, the one on guard to watch her. She had heard Dominic give the instructions. He w as engrossed in conversation with queen Gabrielle. They were the two people tasked to keep an eye on her, everyone else was tense and in their minds. She went to the door and slowly opened it, her palms were sweaty with nerves.It wasn’t until the door closed behind her t
Author’s POVDominic froze in his spot. He felt his body tighten with alarm. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He immediately contacted Keisha through the link, he wanted to know what was happening, “Why are the lights off? Is it something to do with the electricity? He asked.He waited a moment but there was no response. Already the temple had begun to fill with whispers, questions being asked. Nobody understood why the lights were off. Dominic began to walk towards the entrance when suddenly there was a small display that lightened the hall a little. It was behind them at the alter and all eyes were immediately there. Dominic turned around to see what was happening. “This is the official announcement for the long awaited” a deep phony voice broke out in the temple, echoing as it sent shivers down everyone’s spines. “All those who choose correctly will be spared and all those who refuse to cooperate will bear the consequences” a brief pause. “This is the take over of the century, mig
Author’s POVTwo months later The day of the weddingSage stared at her reflection in the mirror. She couldn’t believe it.it didn’t matter how long she stared at the white royal dress, the way it draped over her. Her curves were obvious in the dress, including the baby bump that had gotten larger. She was indeed standing in her wedding gown, on the day of her wedding.She closed her eyes, letting the cool air of the fan calm her thoughts. Her hands were on the frilly satin material, she folded and unfolded it several times. Her eyes darted from Bella to the other maids who were getting her ready. She couldn’t sit still, even when she tried to.It wasn’t just the wedding, it was more. When she looked at the time on the clock, she knew what it was ticking for. As soon as she said the words, the vows were completed - everything would change. It was her mother closing the door behind her that took Sage out of her thoughts. She sat up and looked at her. Her mother wore a dark green suit
Author’s POVThe silence in the room was heavy with tension. The elders rubbed their hands restlessly as they stared at their files. Only a few remained that hadn’t checked it. Their hearts pounded so loud that everyone in the room could hear it and it wouldn’t be surprising if the people outside could as well. Dominic didn’t need to say another word, he simply waited. He knew they would do as asked, they wouldn’t wait for him to make another announcement. He would patiently wait for them to say what needed to be said. He relaxed against the head rest of the seat and dropped his hands on the table – a statement they all understood perfectly. Elder Eldric was the first council member to stand up. He had his hands tucked behind him and unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Dominic didn’t care for the shame that he felt. It was enough that he wasn’t doing it in front of the whole kingdom, he would have been shamed forever. He stepped back from the table and out of the chair.The next elder tha
Author’s POVDominic stared at his phone, there was nothing new from Keisha. His beta had gone back to the house n the mountains to search for himself after Elas didn’t find anything and nothing had changed. They searched thoroughly but the house was in the clear. There was no hideout, no hidden vaults, no hidden cupboards that led somewhere.It frustrated Dominic, this wasn’t what he had set out and planned for if she had been in that house the entire time then there had to be something to indicate it. None of his guards had seen anyone go in, unless they were lying. He had interviewed all of them, their hearts were steady, no lies. That left one option – somehow they had used a secret entrance to get in. He called Keisha again, “Anything new exactly?” the question was useless. He already knew the answer and of course, Kesha’s reply didn’t shock him. “Nothing new Alpha, there’s been no discoveries, everything is just as Elias said it would be” he sighed. “I’m beginning to think it’
Author's POV From where he stood, he could see them perfectly. Despite the dark room, they were bathed under the light. Both Dominic and her, seated there - royalty and of course regal. There was something about them both. He couldn't look away. The distance didn't stop him from seeing the ring that shone on her fingers. In fact, it emphasized it. It wasn't exactly huge but it was quite obvious. Even as she stood up from the table, it shone brighter under the lights. His hands found his phone. He rubbed the screen tenderly as he knew the power that it held. The small but obvious button to the left of the screen. If he simply touched it, it would be enough of a signal for what was to happen to begin. There was an undeniable itch in him to do it. He wanted to tap it and begin the countdown but it wasn't yet time. Everything had to align perfectly. Already it had begun to come together. He had predicted this proposal. If it continued just as he had planned out, Dominic would be on h
Dominic's POV My body shook with restlessness. It had been nearly four days and I hadn't laid eyes on her. Her scent eluded me and it was just the faint farness of her presence that kept me going. The past few days had been hectic and I had to spend them away from the pack. The council meeting ha
Dominic’s POV “One more thing!” I said, stopping Keisha in his tracks. He turned back to me. “No one must find out about this. For now.” I added. He acknowledged with a nod, “Yes your majesty!” I buried my head back in the stack of files on my desk. One of the files at the other end of the tab
Sage's POVI hadn't left the room the whole day after. It was due to his instructions, because something told me that if I didn't do as he asked, he would be angry. The last thing I wanted to do was cause his anger after all I had done these past few days. My eyes went to the window, where I had s
Sage's POVHe gently removed my hands from around him and began to walk out. I quickly joined him, wiping my tears as I tried to match up with his pace. He brought his warriors just to save me. The guards shielded us as we walked through the woods till we got to where the cars were parked. I did
