SAPPHIREThe stench of stale corpses filled the atmosphere, It didn’t bother me. I was used to it. For as long as I could remember, this scent was a signature of Litherra village.We weren’t really favored by the royal family, a village filled with omegas and humans was not the right setting for the royal family to be found protecting. So we were subject to all sort of attacks, and it the process, blood was spilled. It was the norm. “Sapphire! I need you to go to the stream” my father called out from the living room of our one bedroom delipidating cottage. “Yes father.” I responded from the kitchen, and grabbed the bucket.“Don’t stray and avoid trouble.” My father warned “I’ll be fine father, don’t worry”I said reassuringly and pecked his cheek.“Youre all I have sapphire, I can’t -“ he broke off mid sentence, as he threw into a fit of coughs.I rushed to his side, “Father, don’t overwork yourself. Once you drink the water from the stream, you’d feel better” I said as I rubbed

SAPPHIRE I expected him to rip out my heart there and then. Every second that passed as I stood rooted to the floor was excruciating. Like I was going to die any moment without warning. As if things could not be worsened, the human lunged herself at him, her aim definite. He grabbed her by the throat before she could even get close to him. He looked at her in amusement “For a pathetic human, your audacity is surprising.” Her face flushed red as she kicked her legs in the air, struggling to release herself from his grip. If he didn’t let her go soon, she would die. “P-please m-my lord, s-spare her, please!” My voice trembled as I pleaded on my knees. He eyed me for a second and let her body drop to the floor. She began to frantically gasp for air and cough, the boldness she embodied a moment ago had been blanketed by fear.He immediately grabbed us by the arm and dragged us to the centre of the camp. “Line up!” He commanded The captives jerked up from the floor and stood a

CHAPTER FIVE SAPPHIRE My eyes fluttered open, awakened by a song carried faithfully by the wind. The melody sounded so familiar, yet so strange, like I had only heard it once in passing. Like it was made for the ears of another. It wasn’t cold as I had remembered, the wind. This time it held a warmth I had only felt in the arms of my father. The goddess had blessed us with a full moon tonight. The light from the moon reflected on the surface of the river I stood in, the cool water rushing past my feet. Then I felt a presence behind me, but I was not overcome with fear. Within me, I knew who it was. I turned to face him, his silver fur glowing beneath the moonlight as his crimson eyes gazed at mine. He walked towards me slowly, my heart racing like I had just run a thousand miles.He stopped some steps away from me, and his eyes held a longing I had never seen. No one had ever looked at me that way before. And then his voice reached my ears, “I have searched for you for so

SAPPHIRE The dread in the atmosphere was painfully heavy. We were no better than deer walking into the arms of the hunters. The only difference was that they lived in the bliss of ignorance and we were too unfortunate to be ignorant.All we could do was to plead to the goddess that our deaths would be swift and painless.Four moons had set before we finally arrived to the palace. Once we reached the gates, they came to a halt.The gates before me were like monuments, titan like, and completely gold. The inlays on it had patterns that were too intricate for me to follow or even understand. There were soldiers at the gate, and some were in their wolf form. I lowered my gaze immediately, hearing them walk up to our carriage and speaking lowly to the soldier accompanying us, before calling out to another ahead as they cleared us.Suddenly the gates were opened, the gold catching lines of light from the sky. And I lost my breath at the sight before me. The exterior of the palace was b

SAPPHIRE The rest of the day went by in a stressful blur. I never made the mistake of cleaning the west wing again. I should have known. Fewer servants were moving there, just a measly handful. I was beyond lucky that my foolishness hadn’t led me to my death. Who knows the punishment I would have received if I’d been caught by a guard, or worse-A royal.After our working hours every servant was expected to return to the court were we had gathered in the morning, then walk quietly back to the stables. I had learnt from another servant that the court was the slave's quarters, were we could gather without disgusting a royal by leaving our stench in the main hall. It was almost demeaning, but I knew all wolves were sensitive to scent, though my weakness had prevented me from noticing most of it.I couldn’t even imagine how sensitive a royal's nose would be.“You should rest while you can.” Bujok pulled me out of my thoughts as he sat on his pile of hay. He had taken quite some time to
