LOGINAuthor's POV Dominic's mother stared at him from across the table in disbelief. He had only a few hours before the trip began. He had invited her so he could tell her what he wanted, although Dominic knew she already knew that. Her eyes were raised in question, disbelief written in the way she shook her head. “I was gone for a few weeks and this happened?" She said, She had gone for a few weeks away just to relax, his father's anniversary coming closer, she didn't want to be there. Dominic shrugged, he didn't know exactly what to say. “Mom, just promise that you'll take care of all this for me. I can't leave it alone. You're all I have. Keep the kingdom straight, treat them like I would. Work with my commander" the orders were easy. “I know about all that" she gave him a strict look. “I've been in this kingdom longer than you have," she paused. “But suspending the council? Do you understand what that means? This kingdom will be constitutionless in that time. There is one supreme p
Author's POV Sage felt restless. She had been that way all morning. There was no exact reason. Her mom had come back along with Rob like Elara had promised. Sage had already figured that they wanted her alone when they came - Jamie and Nevena. Her mom came back in perfect shape. The baby hadn't kicked since then but she could feel its movements. She remembered the way her mom had been sad that she had missed the kicking. Sage hoped it would happen again despite the pain. She was tired of staying inside all day. If Elara was sure that they were safe here, she wanted to go outside. The house was airy and bright but it didn't have the freshness she felt whenever she stuck her head out the window. Even now as she stared through her window to the back, the vast space and field behind. Sage wanted to feel the grass between her toes and touch the odly blooming flowers. She desired for the sun's heat on her skin. At that moment she decided she would get it no matter what. She arranged he
Author's POV The room fell silent then, Sage didn't know what to say. She wanted to ask other questions, how they had managed to get her out successfully. She also wanted to know how they had known she was the lost descendant. But she didn't, she didn't feel like she could. There was something in their expressions that told her they had come for more. Before she could speak, Jamie did. “Cyrus is looking for you. He's trying to breach into the group, see if he can learn anything. I think he suspects we might have you. We have to stop that from happening" he told her. He went to stand beside Elara. Sage felt like there was something there but she didn't ask. “I don't want him to ever find me. Please, he can't" she begged. It would be better if Dominic were the one who found her, not Cyrus. Especially if Cyrus learned she was pregnant. She would never let him go. Nevena walked closer to the bed, “Don't worry, we're going to make sure he makes no progress. He won't be able to find yo
Author's POV Keisha stared at Dominic with a questioning look. He repeated the words that had just been spoken to him in his head. There was the urge to ask Dominic but something told him he would eventually know the answer. “Prepare the cars and some soldiers to come along. We're going to visit the deserted city immediately. " Dominic had ordered immediately Keisha walked into the room. Keisha's face fell into a mask of confusion. He stared at Dominic like the words spoken had been foreign. “What? The deserted city? The one on the far side from here?" He asked just to make sure, he didn't want to believe what he had heard. Dominic had nodded, “Yes and I want that done immediately. I don't care how far it is" he told Keisha. All that had happened five minutes ago but the shock still hadn't worn off. Keisha had barely moved from his position in the office. It was as if he was waiting to hear something else from Dominic but it didn't look like there was more. "I'll do that sir" Ke
Author's POV Sage felt the heat of the sun on her face. It was what woke her up, or at least part of it. Her body burned with heat, sweat dripping down her face and legs. She tried to sit up but then her body felt too weak, she couldn't. “What?" She asked herself. She looked at her body, it was red. It looked like it had been scratched or something was wrong with her. She didn't know what to do at that moment. She couldn't even sit up, it was too much work for her to even do that. Her body ached and burned all over. Sage knew that with the way she felt, there was no way she would be able to get up on her own. “Mom" she cried out in hopes that her mother wasn't far. She didn't understand why this was suddenly happening. She hadn't been sick in ages, this was new and strange. Her eyes looked up at the ceiling and counted the designs while she waited for her mom to come. Nothing happened, "Mom, I'm in here” she called out again. When she tried to reach her through the link it didn'
Author's POV Dominic quickly picked the map and letter up, stuffing them into his pockets in haste. Someone had walked in and they couldn't see this at any cost. He turned around slowly to see who had dared to barge in. He sighed to himself when he saw who it was, Gloria. She wore a blue dress, short and tight on her. Her eyes shone with deceit when she walked in, wickedness clear in it. She knew exactly what she was doing. The dress she wore, the weakness it caused Dominic to feel. She closed the door behind her, smiling a seductive smile through her red painted lips. As she walked closer to him, her heels clicked against the tiles. This was her way of announcing her presence. Soon she stood right in front of him, her perfume assailed his nostrils. He stared at her but it felt like he was seeing through her. There was only one person he wanted to see and she was far from him. He felt a jolt of anger when he remembered. Before he could speak, she did. “What were you hiding? Have
Sage’s POV I couldn’t stop pacing no matter how hard I tried. The thoughts. They kept coming times and times again like a leach in my memory trying to hunt the hell out of me. What do I do now? Who do I even run to? The room suddenly felt so hot even with the air condition on. Those words… Th
Sage's POV"What?" I blurted out. "It's not what you think, your majesty, I promise you. I..." He stopped me mid-sentence. "Did you want to see him? Yes or No!" The question slammed against me heavily. I wanted to defend myself, but the words just weren't coming forth. "Yes. But not for the reas
Sage’s POVCyrus frowned, clearly not having it. What the hellhas gotten into you?” He flared, slamming his hands against the iron bars in front of him. I flinched, but I said nothing. Just kept staring at him like ‘when you’re ready to go on with the deal, let me know.’ After almost two minutes
Sage’s POV The fact that I couldn’t answer that question got me twisting and turning on the bed for hours throughout the night. I wanted freedom, but why did I suddenly feel restrained. It was like something inside of me didn’t want me to leave. I just couldn’t explain it no matter how hard I tri
