"Oh, Harps," she murmured, enfolding me in a comforting embrace. "It'll be alright. Just nine more months, and you'll finally be free from there. Once you're away from Atlas, you'll find the strength to move forward. I promise, there's someone incredible out there waiting for you." I sniffled, returning Jess's embrace gratefully.

She was the sole confidante among my friends privy to my feelings for my guardian, yet she never offered hollow assurances, only genuine

I stood by the pillar in the dining hall, my hands clasped behind my back. Anyone looking at me would have just concluded I was the mutt who did his job and didn't ask questions. But inside, my head was a war zone. When I first took this job, it was supposed to be simple. Guard the Princess. Keep her safe until she married the southern Alpha.

It was better if she kept her distance because I didn’t want to have a moment of weakness and mistake her for my Azura. Even if they looked the same, I was determined to stay loyal to the Azura that I knew and loved. This one was simply her doppelganger. I needed to just do my duty as her Guardian and make sure that the Dragon Stone inside her was safe. My only true mate died forty years ago, and it was now time that I faced it. No longer hungry, I pushed my plate away and left the table. Wanting to get out of the house for a while, I made my way toward the front door.

He knew all the other men watching him envied him. But for the life of him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for the act. Instead of finding her perfume enticing, he found it cloying. The smoke from the cigars made him feel suffocated.

Even though your age is very mature and suitable for marriage, how can it be if you are still reluctant to enter into a relationship and decide to get married at this moment? "We will never get married because that is our destiny, we are brothers who will take care of you forever. Besides, when discussing women's issues, do you think that Lilian is a very special woman? There are so many evil women here and what you say is wrong, maybe I will find a woman somewhere else who is much smarter and can make me happier than I have to obey everything you say. OK, let's say goodbye and I hope you will always be healthy and can take care of yourself. If you find two guards here, it will be better, be

He looked at me and said, "I've called the cops. I guess they'll be here in half an hour. I'll protect you in the meantime. "The second ward has reinforced doors and windows installed due to an incident, so the killer can't barge in that easily. There's a small bedroom with a partition inside. Go and get some sleep. I'll keep watch outside." I nodded and took up on his offer. I was exhausted after the entire ordeal. I lay in bed, feeling well assured. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I noticed a gold bookmark poking out from the drawers of the nightstand. I hesitated a moment before pulling the drawer out. The small drawer was filled with assorted love letters.

Long. Carefully. Then something unexpected happened. The ancient guardian bowed its head slightly. To Lucien. Recognition. Respect. "The Second Anchor." The title echoed through the valley. The Warden looked between them. Then spoke words that made every wolf present go silent. "The Path was never meant for one." Althea felt her pulse quicken. The Warden continued. "The Heir and the Resonance." A pause. "The Daughter and the Alpha." Another pause. Then: "The Two Who Open."

We had been searching through books this morning trying to learn more about the Guardian Wolf. Because they were so rare, there was not a lot of information in our history books about them. There had to be more data, and I figured my next step would be to bring our historian and have them conduct some more searches on the internet.

“That could only mean either one of two things, you are either a stone guardian just like Romeo or a royal wielder." I stilled and forced myself to relax despite my heart rate jumping through the roof. "Guardians are the chosen ones that are tasked to protect stones like the black onyx stone and there are guardians for all the different species - witch, vampire, fae, human and many other species not written in our texts.

It wasn't an intended mistake, certainly he did understood that. "Of course not, to be sincere, I felt sorry for you. But then, i was impressed, I loved how you didn't let your guard down." He said to me with so much excitement. I smiled at him, I was feeling a bit comfortable, like I belonged amongst them-the applicants. We kept talking and frankly, I enjoyed the conversation.
