She is this Kingdom's jewel..

Rhys. " Maybe it's because I genuinely miss him..." He dragged, sadness lacing his words. " Or maybe it's simply because he married my fated mate?" He asked, and at his words, I froze in place, disbelief framing my features. " What do you mean?" I asked, after a moment of trying to make sense of his statement, because it made none, to me. My mom and Dad were fated mates. Known to be each other's first love....And now, Jake was accusing my Dad of having married his first mate? It was unbelievable. " You didn't know you had an uncle until now. How could you have possibly known about your Mom's first mate?" A deep frown was set on his lips as he asked. And his argument made sense, too. " Your Mom and my brother used to be best friends. " He paused, forcing a smile. " And I used to be around them, so your mom and I could have been considered close." He added. " Back then, I honestly had no romantic interests. But finding my fated mate was something that I had al

A phantom Alpha

Rhys. " Because she is this Kingdom's Crown Jewel. " He whispered, his voice shaking with something that sounded like fear? respect? well, with the splash of venom in his eyes, it was impossible to read his true feelings. Kingdom's Crown Jewel? I raised my brows as I tasted the word on my lips. It sounded divine, dramatic, even. " She is a Phatom Alpha." Reading through the confusion in my face, he added, and instead of the second set of explanations shedding light into the situation, it only added more confusion. A phantom Alpha? That name sounded vaguely familiar. .Like a forbidden tale I had heard being whispered in hushed tones, over winter fireplaces... It sounded like something that you were sure you knew, and yet, you didn't fully understand. " What's a phantom Alpha?" I found myself asking, curiosity pricking my nerves. " A phantom Alpha?" He asked, wearing a small smile, adopting a thoughtful posture. " In simple terms, your grandmother is a phanto

I am also a phatom Alpha,...

Rhys. " In over a million people that have ever been subjected through phantom fury..." He squeezed out, his eyes reddening. So, the person was called a phantom Alpha. And the act itself was Phantom Fury? I nodded, as it dawned on me. Jake looked out through the open balcony. He was seemingly taking a moment to recompose himself. That topic seemed like a sore spot to him. " There has only ever been one person to survive that hell." he whispered, swallowing a bitter lump. One person in a million? Well, I think I was the second one in history, then? "But that person was left nearly crippled.." He squeezed out, his eyes reddening at his words and reading the room, my heart clenched. He couldn't have been talking about himself, could he? But he wasn't crippled...Crippled. . I bitterly clenched my fingers at the words. I had come to hate that name and everything attached to it..From Jake's words the other day, Sabrina had been crippled too. Surely, it wasn't

The Queen has to know.

Rhys. " I honestly don't know how you survived something that almost killed your father..." he wasn't even looking at me as he spoke. His voice was low, a mixture of mild pride and disbelief. Honestly, I understood why he was so worked up..If I hadn't managed to get out of that mirage, I probably would have ended in a far worse situation than my father's. From how quickly things were progressing, the pain, the buzzing in my ears, the darkness that was slowly creeping in, the consciousness that was slowly fading away, and the suffocation, another second there and it would have been a miracle if I would have ended up as just a cripple. Yes. I would have been lucky to come out as s cripple. From the pain that had consumed me, I had sensed it, death so near that it had been practically chocking me. And, I might have never seen my father at his prime, but after going through such kind of a torture, I would give a standing ovation to anyone who went through it and came out

At a cost....

Rhys. "Sleep early. " Jake instructed, already walking away, and I nearly scoffed. Sleep early? It was already hours past midnight. How earlier could that get? Well, he didn't seem to notice, and even if he did, he didn't seem to care, either. " You are a Phantom Alpha." " You are a Phatom Alpha." . He was mumbling to himself, as he paced back and forth in the room, and at some point, he lifted his head to face me, the expression on his face unreadable. " You don't seem to get it, Rhys!" He added, with an incredulous face. " This is js big.." He whispered, more to himself than to me. " This changes everything. " He added, and I shot him a questioning look. " With this gift, you might not actually have to take the contest." He explained, wearing a wide smile. " Sleep early. " " The Queen has to know. " He instructed, and with that, he was already gone. I was left there, standing in the balcony, buried deep in thoughts, but with a sense of dread coil

Good luck

Rhys. " At least now you will have options." She mumbled, sounding disturbed with the earlier excitement diming for a moment. " With your Phantom Alpha abilities, you can now be a royal member without having to go through with the contest." She added, forcing a smile. " But that will come at a different cost." She stated, and my heart clenched. Why was I not so surprised, though? This was the royal palace.. Everything had a hidden cost. Did they really have to make life so complicated? " What cost?" I chalked down the bitterness in my throat as I asked. " You might have to let the council know about your newly discovered abilities. " She took a pause, as if she was mentally assessing tbe situation, before proceeding. "Of course, your name will be doused with prestige, they will introduce you as a new addition to the royal family, and you will get to enjoy all the glory that comes with it, but.." She paused, and I clenched my fingers at the 'but' I didn't e

Goodbyes...

Rhys. I only had a few hours before the contest. 'Hang in there, Sabrina...' ' I will come for you..' I whispered as I drifted off to sleep. The former Queen had told me to eat light, but with my frying nerves, how much could I possibly eat? I had ended up taking a few bites, drinking plenty of water, and going to bed earlier. The next morning, the morning of the contest, I was long up before Jake came knocking on my door. " Slept well?" He sounded nervous as he asked, his voice laced with so much tension that you would think he was the contestant and not me. Yeah. For a person whose fate was hanging on a super thin thread, I had slept too well, I would say. " Let's head out.." He didn't even give me time to respond before he instructed. " The contest will begin in about an hour. You need to be there earlier enough." He urged, nervously, motioning for us to leave. I didn't stoll either. And I wasn't going to lie. I was a hell of nerves, so many what if

Four days...

Sabrina. " But all is not lost..." he stated, a cunning glint cropping his eyes. " There is another way that you can make yourself useful in the palace..." Alpha King Alexander informed, his eyes holding mine in a way that had my skin prickling. " Either that, or you will be forced to leave the palace. .We only keep people who add value here, after all." He expressed, a deep chuckle escaping from his lips. All along, from the moment I entered in, I remained composed, listening as he spoke his mind, selling a picture of calm and composure even when every part in my body was screaming with anger, bitterness. But aside from chalking it all down, what more could I do? He was the Alpha king...it was not like I could fight him, at least not at the moment.. I was now powerless, my wolf was dead, I was practically a cripple.. What could I possibly do? I just allowed the humiliation to burn through me, inch my inch, fingers tightly clenched, with no claws to pierce my sk

No. He is not..

Sabrina. 'With your capabilities, the royal brothel will surely flourish...' ' With your capabilities, you will surely make a good hostess...' I repeated those words in my mind, over and over, and each time, something went cold within me.. And every time, something hardened in me. ' You will make a good hostess..' He had said. But what was I ? Some wh*re? So, that had been their plan from the very beginning, then? To kill my wolf, clip my feathers, make me powerless, then take me to the brothels, for their twisted satisfaction? So, from the beginning to the end, coming to the palace had been a trap, no? Even Ivy's presence in my life, her friendship, it had just been them, keeping me under their surveillance, in the name of friendship? And I had been so stupid that I had believed her.. them.. From the Alpha King's office all the way to my grandma's manor, I didn't even know how I crossed the distance. The last thing I recalled was him giving me a dead

Don't worry..

Sabrina. " Tell me, grandma, is Alpha King Alexander my real uncle?" I asked, unable to mask the disappointment in my voice. I didn't even know why I asked it because the answer was very obvious, but the question was already out, and there was no taking it back. " A uncle, asking their niece to sell their body? I actually wish he and I were not related in any way." Those were just bitter thoughts. I hadn't meant to voice them out loud, but I did, anyway.. He was my grandmother's son, it was expected if she got angry at my statement, but I didn't actually care, at that moment. There was just too much anger burning through me that if I didn't let it out, I was surely going to explode. And yeah, I actually couldn't wait to finish investigating and avenging my parents and finally leave the palace.. Each day that I spent here, from the first day itself, told a different tale of why my Mom chose to leave back then. And with every passing day, my godparents unwillin
