"So, either it's dinner or ----," Caspian licked his lips, his eyes scanning my body, making me feel like I was standing naked in front of him. I never responded, and they took it as my defeat. I was beginning to feel very lonely with everyone around me having an agenda to stay close. Hours later,
Caspian Diego: "I'm going to wear black so no one else should," I declared, ensuring that no one would dare imitate my style. We rose early, eager to check on the preparations for the big day. As it was already Friday, time was running short. I wanted this meeting to be flawless. Lord Bernard had
Genevieve: "No, thank you. I'll just go back home now," I gave her an awkward smile and decided to stand up when she began pacing even faster to approach me. "Um, I said no, thank you," I was so creeped out by her that I took a few steps back instead of turning away. I couldn't shake the feeling t
Genevieve: The car ride was far from peaceful; I found myself sandwiched between them, hugging myself tightly. "What the hell were you thinking?" Emre erupted in anger as soon as Bellamy veered onto a desolate road. They were cunning, always acting civil in the presence of other cars or people. It
Genevieve: "Her father had sent his cars and guards for us," Caspian exclaimed, informing the others while I remained in the bathroom, gazing at my reflection in the mirror. I no longer had a reason to back down from this dinner. If I wanted to find answers and escape, I had to act normal and mee
Genevieve: I took my seat at the dinner table, observing as the maids arranged the dishes with smiles. Monique was nowhere to be seen, which struck me as odd. I looked around and even attempted to ask the maids, but no one responded. Wolvin had to remove his shoes before entering the dining room,
Genevieve: "I'm not going back in there," I stuttered, my voice hiccupping from the countless tears I had shed. My father marrying Monique filled my mind with so much poison. "Don't listen to her. Let's drag her back; she'll have to behave once she's in front of her dad," Bellamy advised Caspian.
Genevieve: I woke up in bed with Emre by my side, although I didn't remember it being his night to be with me. He rarely wanted to share the bed before, and I didn't want him to feel sorry for me or offer sympathy. If he was there because he pitied me for not being invited to my father's wedding, I
Wolvin:“She is living on that mountain full of devilbane,” Caspian whispered the obvious, even when we could clearly see it.“She is living alone,” Bellamy added.“What are we going to do exactly?” Emre asked in a confused tone.“We are here to forcefully take her back and check on her behavior. So
Bellamy:“Why! You don’t believe it?” I asked Caspian when I noticed the way he zoned out. Something about his silence felt off. We have been sharing theories about what might have happened. Change is inevitable when betrayal hits but to the extent that a person becomes an entirely new individual? T
Caspian:The way she brutally attacked Wolvin, provoked by just one statement, was shocking.It was like she wasn't playing and she wanted us to know that as well.“Genevieve!” Bellamy yelled, stepping in front of Wolvin, who had been staring at her with teary eyes. I was sure it didn’t hurt him phy
Wolvin:The others had their mouths open—and rightfully so. I was shocked too. Genevieve wasn’t the type to insult someone. Especially not the rogues.I had lived with her, loved her, and fought beside her. Not once did she remind me that me being a rogue was too much for her.“You hate rogues?” Cas
Wolvin:The arrows flew by, hitting wild ones from everywhere. We began to look around, quickly trying to find the one shooting them.Of course, it had to be her.But where the heck was she?And then the freaking black wolves started to form out of smoke.A circle of devilbane would prevent them fro
Genevieve:Months Ago:“Are we going to keep walking around with no direction?” I was so lonely that whenever Evie spoke, it startled me. I sat down with my head lowered and eyes dry from crying.“Genevieve, you’ve cried enough. It’s time to get back on our feet again.” She had been such a help. But
Wolvin:“Yeah, now leave it here. The crows from this tree take the messages to the savior,” Finch helped me write a letter and send it out. We have been making up plans to get to know the savior. All of us, each one of us, kind of felt like either this savior was our Genevieve or someone who would
Bellamy:It was right in front of me. The footage. The last time anyone had seen Genevieve. She had her father on her back as she came to my pack and begged for help. My muscles stretched, heat rushing from deep within me.“That is—,” Wolvin thundered, his anger casting a dark shadow on the bright l
Wolvin:"What happened then?" I asked him as we sat in his living room. He made us stay to serve us dinner."I earned Monique's trust but built an army of my own. Then one day, I betrayed her like she betrays everyone." Emre shrugged, and that’s when someone arrived with a tray in her hands, serving
