Despite being shadowed by an array of guards, the choice to step out held the allure of a momentary escape from the web of complex politics and the charged atmosphere that cloaked our residence.Sophie's enthusiasm was tangible, contagious in its essence. Her laughter reverberated joyfully through the corridors as we ambled along, her playful banter with a particular guard eliciting amused glances from me.

Elena "Fitz?", I said in unbelief, staring at the familiar face in front of me, smiling wide at me as the day and his eyes cold as death, I moved my eyes back to the floor to see Sophie's unconscious body and back to Fitz cold blooded eyes."What do you want?", my voice went into a whisper, "Just leave us alone", I saidHe laughed, he laughs out louder and louder and louder and I turning around realising the men that circled me were all wearing black and were all laughing with Fitz, I hadn’t been this terrified for a while. If they wanted to kill me why the foreplay, they should just get into it. I know I sound brave but that’s just a mask because at this moment I am terrified to death. I fell on the floor and hit Sophie to wake up but my effort were useless, I shake her profusely but she refused to wake up, she had fainted or was dead, in other word I was dead, the thought of that sent down shiver through my entire body, realising that even if I somehow survive this, Anthony and Mi

I knew the Alphas had gotten more outburst during these few months I was here, I knew this because I overheard the kitchen maidens talking about it and sometimes I wondered if Emily really liked me as a person or was she just been nice because she had no options, I mean I haven’t fully claimed to be the Luna but everyone in the park and neighboring pack considered me the Luna.“Are you okay?”I snapped back into reality at the sound of Emily’s voice which was thick with worry.“Yeah”, I plastered a fake smile, “ I am okay “ I said trying to c
