Blue's POV"I found them, Blue." I heard Wilder say, grinning from ear to ear, and oozing with so much pride and enthusiasm. Not that I was bothered about the army, but I knew we had to do something about them. We have to play this game of chess properly, or we will be kicked right out of it."Okay. Give me some minutes to think of the next step." I uttered. And as if I had said something completely bad, I watched as Wilder's enthusiastic expression sank at once. He suddenly looked confused. Like there was something about this situation he wanted me to address. Something I was not doing."What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."Er, think? I thought we were just supposed to like kill them all, to avoid them being a threat to us later. Then maybe we can keep about two or three alive to tell the tale of their survival to the rest." He paused and walked towards me. It was a bad time to flirt, but the way his eyes stared into the depths of my soul made me shiver in excitement. I wanted to
Wilder's POVI fixed my gaze on Blue, with a lot of thoughts running through my head. I stared at her with concentrated gaze, as I watched her munch delightfully on the pears.I asked her what she wanted, that I would give anything to her... anything she asked for— ironically, Blue only wanted me to get her some pears. "Why pear? A fruit? How could it be the only thing you could ask for?" I asked, my voice slicing through the quiet atmosphere that was only filled with Blue's happy humming.She shrugged, picking up another pear from the silverware. "Pear was my favorite fruit as a child, but since I was locked up... I never had the chance to have it again. Simply because it was too big of a fruit for Sarah to sneak into my cage." "Then I shall ask the kitchen to bring you a whole sack." Her eyes grew wider in complete astonishment, "Really?""What no. I was... would you really eat a sack of pear?" I asked with bewildered eyes. She stared at me for a second long, then laughed. "Of
Blue's POV"Say hi to your mother for me, Francis, and also, take this money, in case she ever needs more medicine." I offered him some coins, crouching down before him, while smiling lovingly at him. "I can't accept your generosity, My Lady." Francis responded, refusing to accept the coins. "Because of your kindness, my mother has much more drugs than she could finish." He smiled at me gratefully, then wrapped his arms around my neck."Thank you, your highness. You are the best queen ever!" He pecked me lightly on the cheeks, before taking his arms off my neck. "And you are the best gentleman ever." "Francis!! Francis! Francis!" At first the calling of Francis' name was distant, but soon it sounded louder and much louder. "Mother!" Francis exclaimed, running off to hug his mother. I stood up, and watched as she scolded him for staying out too long. "Sorry, it's all my fault. He was with me." I apologized, walking closer to her. Francis' mother stared at me intensely, and her on
Blue's POV"The air was filled with romance, the stars in the skies were endless, and I was in Wilder's arms, both of us staring at the beautiful lit-up skies. Everything was just so perfect and right, that I didn't know when I confessed my feelings to him." "What? You confessed? How? What did you say?" Sarah asked rapidly, with much interest. "I said the three words." I nearly choked on my words, as the memories of last night sneaked its way into my head. Sarah gasped in shock, while Rose stared at both of us, confused... "What are the three words, and why is it shocking she said them?" She asked, staring at Sarah."You don't know the famous three words?" Sarah asked her, now more shocked that Rose had no idea what my words meant. "If I knew it, I would not be asking." Rose rolled her eyes, frowning upon the fact that Sarah now sees her as a lesser knowledgeable person."I told the king that I love him." I said, clearing the air for Rose."Awwwn, that's a good thing. That is wond
Blue’s POV;We all sat in the living room, across... from one another. Wilder and I were seated together, while the king and queen of the crescent moon pack sat down, side by side too.Initially, I never wanted the gates of Nightshade pack opened to them— but, Wilder, he insisted. "To what reason do I owe this unpleasant visitation too?” I asked, staring at both of them calmly. I didn’t want to give them the idea that their presence has an effect on me."Is it wrong for a mother to want to see her daughter?" My mother responded. The innocent but fake expression she always wore in the past, didn’t get unnoticed by me. "What daughter? You mean the one you locked up for thirteen years, without ever visiting her once." I scoffed. Lucian Greymark, my father, suddenly growled lightly at nobody in specific. He was always a light-talker, but he had always been worse than his wife, Katherine.But between both of them, I hated his wife even more. "Give us some privacy.” He said to Wilder, w
Blue's POVI laid next to Wilder on the top of Mesa Verde, my head rested on his chest as we star-gazed. My heart was troubled by the king and queen of Crescent moon pack's presence. Lucian and Katherine Greymark, are not people that would move an inch without a purpose.They definitely have a purpose of coming here, to Nightshade pack. And as always, I am a hundred percent sure it has to do with getting rid of me. I sighed, pondering more on what devious plan my parent had come up with, this time around. They aren't dumb, they know that locking me up in a cage, can never be possible. So what tricks, have they resorted to. Perhaps, to end my life? Nah, they wouldn't. I mean, above everything, I am still their child. Wilder placed a soft kiss on my forehead, "What's troubling you?" Wilder asked, placing my head on his arm as he raised his head up, to gaze into my eyes. "Lucian and Katherine." I answered, sighing even more. "Why?""They may appear as good people, but they are not
Wilder's POV"You poisoned the queen!" I growled, latching my fingers onto Rosemary neck as I threw her across the room. She let out a cry, falling to the ground in a thud. But her pain didn't stop me, I marched over to her— ready to slashed her head off her neck, but I was stopped by Hershel."Move!" I warned, my whole self taking by anger. At that moment, I wanted nothing else but to send Rosemary to the very deep ends of hell. "Uncle..." I grunted. "YOUR QUEEN IS IN PAIN!" Herself shouted at the top of his voice, staring at me deadpan. "SHE'S SUFFERING!" He pointed his finger at Blue, and with the anger in me fading away, I turned around. My heart ached at the sight before me, Blue had vomited once more, into the bowl Hershel had provided, she looked worn out and totally weak. "You said, Scarlet gave you the poison?" I directed the question at Rose, who stood up on her feet while groaning in pain. "Yes, your highness." Scarlett isn't a hard person to find, because I let her li
Wilder's POVI coughed out the blood in my mouth and shook my head, letting out a mischievous smirk."Did you really think you could kill me so simply?" I grinned, standing up on my feet. "How pathetic?" I had gotten exactly what I needed from Lucian Greymark. He didn't know it. He thought he had won, but had no idea he was being played all this while. >>>>>>"What do you mean the queen only has three hours to live?" I asked Hershel with a mind, unable to accept his words for what it was. "If this thing that is afflicting the queen is truly the Red Kia, then her flames will be what is going to hasten her death." He elaborated. I stared at him intently, hoping he would blink... I just need a little reaction from him, anything... that would prove he is lying, just a joke... a prank!"How can you be sure? Probably you are mistaken." I swallowed, waiting... waiting for an agreement from him, that he was indeed wrong. "Besides, her... flames, her flames are meant to heal h
