Apple White And Darling Charming Novels & Stories

Chapter 13: The Queen’s Gambit and the Titans’ Feast Vanguard and Grimm returned to the cabin with grim faces, but their expressions softened into smiles as they opened their arms to embrace the beautiful Princess. The dinner table was laden with delicious food they had all helped prepare, and Snow White proudly presented her apple pie. "I picked these apples with my own hands," she said cheerfully. "There’s a tree over there with the most beautiful red fruit—so sweet and crisp. I gathered a ton of them!" She served slices to everyone. When Grimm took a bite, he nodded in rare approval.

"I’m not looking for trouble, Alvin. I’ve come with a peace offering and a personal apology." Harper lifted the wooden box, cracking it open to show the contents. "These are Black Persimmons, dried with mountain honey. They're a rare commodity—the most expensive in the North. They only grow once every ten years. I brought them for Luna Ruby as a sign of respect." Alvin didn't budge. To him, rare fruit was worthless compared to Ruby’s safety. "Keep your expensive fruit. The Alpha’s orders were clear: no visitors." Just then, Ruby stepped out from the shadows of the gate. She was dressed in an elegant gray silk robe, her silver hair tied back neatly to reveal the prominent mating mark Dexter h

“And of course, I’ll save some for your Alpha. Beta Rylan said he’s at the border, dealing with the war situation. So, I thought something sweet might lift his spirits and help the rest of us.” Aline’s grin widened and she wiped her hands on her apron. “Apple pie? Oh, Mira, that’s perfect,” she said in a warm voice. “Alpha Elias loves a good pie and the pack will be over the moon. We got some fresh apples this morning from the backyard.”

“You look like you need it.” I sighed, but I didn’t argue. After everything that had happened the past few weeks, the thought of something cold and simple melting on my tongue didn’t sound so bad. Inside, the shop was cozy and buzzing with chatter. Families, couples, and teenagers crowded the small tables. Alice ordered with the kind of bold decisiveness she carried everywhere. She asked for two giant sundaes stacked with scoops of pistachio, chocolate, and strawberry, drowned in whipped cream. “Pistachio?” I teased as we carried our trays to a table near the window. “That’s a bold choice.”

Just then, the back door swung open and Sarah walked in, a basket of carrots fresh out of the garden, in her hands. “Anyone wants some?” She asked. Abby watched her, making sure Sarah was in a fair mood. “Abby?” “Yeah, sure. I'll have some.” _____ “Mr.Wells, you and I made a deal and you promised you'd pay at least half of what you owe but it's been a month and you keep coming up with more and more pathetic excuses.” Mr.Riverson was pissed, Anthony could tell. He sighed and dug through his pockets, fishing out a gold ring, the one that belonged to Abby Winster.

“Hello, Your Highness. Will you help me look for my mommy? She’s also a pretty princess, prettier than me!” “It’s my first time to hear a kid say someone’s prettier than her…” The man chuckled as he got to his feet. After glancing at the woman next to him, he gave up and gave in, bowing like how princes would in shows and books. He made the girl cry, so he had to play along. “Hello, Your Little Highness. So, what can you tell me about your mom?” “…uh, she has brown hair… brown like a tree… her eyes are blue… like that… or the sea. Uh, she’s… really pretty!” Charlotte insisted that her mommy was pretty as if it was a quantitative description. She even pumped her fists when she said so.

"I said I don't car--" "There are some apples behind in the plastic bag. Eat them." Adam interrupted. Ally immediately grabs the plastic bag at Alice's paper bag and devours the red apple. She gave everyone one apple except Damian, I chuckle while picking the apple Ally gave as Damian was speechless at Ally's gesture. Lianne just gave her apple to Damian instead. I look at Lianne and it seems like she's not in a mood. She's been quiet the whole when they arrived at the mansion.

I was encompassed by an all-pervading smell, of dark chocolate and nutmeg, of pine and dewy grass. Mate. Misha was ecstatic, but I couldn’t allow myself to embrace this now, even if he felt the same. What was it about males whose names began with ‘J’ and bad timing? “Is the Alpha coming?” I managed, sticking to my cover story. “Salted caramel, with a hint of ginger and,” he sniffed the air. “Apples. Red ones to be precise.” Oh no. That bit about the apples rocked me. Was I on Alpha Kane’s radar as well?

Don’t let them see you break. Emily nodded once, a silent thank you, even as her vision burned. Charles glanced at them then. Just briefly. Just enough for her to catch it. And he smiled. It wasn’t cruel. It was worse. It was calm. Controlled. Icy in its civility. The kind of smile that said You don’t matter anymore. You never did. Emily looked back at her plate and forced a bite down, even as her hands trembled under the table. “So, love,” Charles said, leaning slightly toward her, “have you decided on the wedding colors? I think a deep sapphire would look divine on you.”
