We Have Always Lived In A Castle Sparknotes Novels & Stories

I ask, confused with how this strange place is our home. “Yes, home. Come. I’ll show you around,” Theo says, stepping out of the car when it comes to a halt. Theo walks over to my side and opens my door. In front of me is the biggest castle I’ve ever seen. The vampire king's palace cannot even compare to what’s in front of me. “Theo ,” I say, looking at him confused. “This is actually where we’re meant to live. It was getting renovated, which is why I was lodged with the other pack. However, renovations are now complete, and we can return home,” Theo explains as we walk toward the castle entrance. The guards bow immediately once they see Theo .

Rose, my maid, knew I was moving around the castle and sleeping in different spots, though I didn’t tell her where or why, so I didn’t place her in danger. As I zigzagged through halls and climbed stairs, I thought about the past few months and how things had changed. Was this life any better than the life I had at Stormveil? I glanced around at the castle walls and the shining stone floors. My head hung low. It was a cage, only shinier and with food, but it was a cage where danger lurked in shadowy corners, ready to strike at any misstep.

**** A couple of hours later, we were at the scene gathered with a good number of men that Lucas had managed to pull through. "Alpha," one of the men called, "do not worry. We are solemnly behind you. Anything you want, just let us know and it will be done," he said. I held his shoulder and tapped him, "Thank you for your support." When I left him, I moved to the center where a small stage was set and I stood before all of them. "The time is upon us," I started and the mumbling and whispering stopped. "The castle was built by our fathers and they chose a leader from my household with a blood pact from all of your ancestors. So it is our home and we will not let one who has gone rogue come be

Bianca's POV Clutching Marvin's little hand to mine, I dragged the luggage I had with me as well. We got into the castle, and the guards standing in front of the gate bowed at me. “Oh my goodness, Mom. This is such a massive house. Are you trying to tell me that the man you called my father lives here all alone?” Marvin gasped in surprise. “There are many servants, slaves, and guards in the Castle. You have to trust me Marvin I can get rid of any other person who tries to invade in our privacy when we become one, big happy family” I smiled at him dryly.

Seraphina's POV Without another word, I tugged Stephen along with me, and we began to sprint through the winding paths of the Moonbane estate toward the ancient castle where our mother resided. The castle had been our family’s stronghold for generations—since the birth of the Moonbane lineage itself. Its towering spires, cloaked in shadow, loomed ominously in the distance, like a silent sentinel watching over our cursed bloodline.

The large castle with many towers sprawling over acres of land, vines, and flowers covered the outside of the first two floors. All three children stood at the entrance with their mouths agape. Scott and I laughed at the same time, probably taking in the same sight. “You live here?” Scott Jr. half asked half exclaimed, “It’s a freaking castle! A real castle. A ‘not in Europe’ castle.” His amazement was evident in every word. His father laughed and nodded telling him that yes, castles here are real. His twin put her hand under his chin and physically closed his mouth for him while Elentari laughed. It warmed my heart to see her laugh. I had always had doubts about how we would meet. She hadn’

Still, I hoped that there was atleast plumbing and electricity here. As we traveled further into the castle I was lost in the beauty of it. This was the place I had been born in, the place where I should have grown up. This was my family home. Generations of Timekeeper Royalty had walked these halls. I should have learned to harness my power here, should have played in the gardens growing up. Instead, I had grown up in a small cabin in the middle of nowhere. I had learned how to harness my power of water in a stream outside the cabin instead of the Royal lake on the castle grounds.

What sort of a parent was Brent? I was still pondering over this when we came to a part of the castle that didn’t have many people moving through it. While it was a little bit deserted, just the presence of a few staff members. It was still as magnificent as the rest of the castle. I could spend the remainder of my life in a place like this. It had always been my dream to live out my life in this sort of opulence, that was what made me draw close to Zeus in the first instance. That dream was about dying off without being given the chance to see the light.

I sat in the back with Lily. The mountains turned into hills. The hills turned into plains. The plains turned into forests. Gregory parked the car. Cut the engine. "We are here." I looked out the window. A castle. Stone. Tall. Flags flying in the wind. Towers rose against the sky. "The next safe house?" "Yes." We walked inside. The castle was warm. A fire burned in the massive fireplace. Beds in every room. Food in the kitchen. Toys in the corner. Lily ran to the toys. Barnaby was in her arms.

The Poison Doctor and the others walked out in a line. Now, only Baby Zetty and the living fossil were left inside the castle. A vulgar gleam burst out of the living fossil’s eyes. He was eager to get into action and said, “You’re so beautiful. Come here, Zetty. As long as you promise to spend the rest of your life with me, I promise you that I’ll teach you all of the things I’ve learned throughout my life.” Baby Zetty spat out, “Pah! I wouldn’t dream of learning anything from the likes of you!”
