Myra   In the times when I was dangling between conscious and unconscious, I dreamed of him. I saw his face in the haze, beckoning me to come to him. My mind conjures up scenarios where he is there with me. I have no strength to hate anyone anymore. Every energy has been sapped out of me. Sometimes when no one is there in my room, I open my eyes which takes immense strength, everything hurts and the only thing I can do is cry. Silent tears roll down my cheeks because weeping and sobbing isn’t an option anymore.   I bet he is doing good. Maybe he has moved on to someone new. He didn’t care then, why would he care now. But in my mind, we are happy. I see myself living in peace and happiness, something which I did not get in reality.    I heard Andrew and Alexandra discuss my condition in my pr

Damian I tried very hard to concentrate on the task at hand. The car ride was anything but pleasant. A four-seater occupied by a wizard, and two elite vampires and I. The Elites spoke non-stop about palace politics and whatnot and tried to include me in their conversation, but I refrained from joining. The wizard guy, however, was tolerable, and it was a blessing to get the passenger seat.  “Shouldn’t the Queen abdicate her throne?” one of them, probably Bryce, raised the question. I leaned back in the seat and trained my gaze out of the window. “Hey, why would you even think that?” the other Elite, Griffin, I think his name was, snapped. I didn’t comment and neither did the wizard guy whose name I had already forgotten. My thoughts wandered back to Celie’s texts. What on earth did she want to tell me? The jo

Myra “What? He kicked out Eric?” I couldn’t believe my ears. When I walked into the training area, I caught the tail end of the conversation about Eric and Jamie shaking his head. “I didn’t realise he would take such a bad turn.” And when I asked who, they stalled for a while before Vi divulged everything in one breath.    “But…why?” I was flabbergasted. Andrew didn’t seem like someone to kick someone out. Vi gave a sidelong glance towards Jamie, whose nervous gaze darted towards Brandon, who didn’t even look at me, but somewhere above my head.  “We don’t know,” Jamie said all too quickly. I frowned. They won’t tell me the reason and I knew that they were fully aware of the situation. I turned around and left, deciding to go straight to Andrew. He was, unfortunately, not in the study and that woman who roamed ar

Damian   My feet carried me to the entrance before I could rethink or reevaluate my decision. I saw the surprised looks of Ryan and alpha Leo when they sensed my arrival. “What’s up?” Ryan asked, baffled. Before I could even reply, Violet was in front of me. Her lips curled into a sneer. “Leave. Now.” Her eyes flickered from their normal violets to black. My gaze darted towards my Ryan and Leo who were staring with twin expressions of astonishment. Alpha Leo regained his composure before Ryan.   “Hey, speak to him respectfully, young lady,” Alpha Leo tried to intervene, but Violet didn’t pay any heed to him, staring me down with open hostility.    “I was just curious. No ill wills,” I murmured, even though all I wanted then was to rush to Myra and see if she was okay. Violet’s jaw ticked. Ja

Damian   Vi shot daggers at me, warning me silently that if I turned, there would be consequences. I wanted to challenge her, but I was strangely hesitant. What if something happened to her if I turned? But then again, she would be in a bad state without me as well and wouldn’t be able to go on for much longer.    “Just a patrol guard,” Violet muttered as she walked past me, giving me a sidelong glare before walking up to her friend. “Let’s go. I am starving.” I could hear the feeble protest of Myra , inquisitive as ever, but Violet herded her away. “You shouldn’t have come outside in this weather,” I heard Violet scold her mildly. “It’s not a problem,” Myra replied and soon their voices turned fainter until they were almost incoherent to my ears. I remained standing where I had been for a long time, like a coward, dumbass who couldn’t even face his
