My breath hitched at the back of my throat. I had seen men before, men of different sizes, complexions, noble, rich, poor, middle class, good looking, ugly - forgive me - but nothing, no one had ever caused my heart to skip beats by merely looking at me. I had managed to convince myself I was imposs
“Well, now that you know it is taken care of, why don’t you leave?” That was certainly not the answer I had been expecting. “What?” He dipped both hands into his pockets as he looked me over, from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. “You heard me. You were here for your brother right? H
LILLIE Breakfast with the queen was one thing I had definitely never planned for. What was I to wear? How was I to act? Wining and dining with the royal family? How did I get this far? My hand maid, whose name I had come to learn was Ophelia, helped me get dressed. She picked out a green flowery p
Breakfast ended on a good accord, and I stayed behind till almost everyone was gone, because Queen Sophia would not stop talking to me. It was as though she was working so hard to add me to the conversation. She must have not wanted me to feel left out, and I found that really sweet. Alpha David ro
LILLIEIt had been days now and I still had not recovered from what happened to me. The news about the princes shook me more than I thought it had. Lying on the bed, my gaze was fixed to the ceiling as thoughts flew through my mind. I did not remove my gaze from the ceiling because I felt there was
Lillie“Follow me.” I did just that. I needed to know. I needed to see what he wanted to show me since he said that he can help me.“But, why are you interested in helping me?” I asked him as we went on a walk, away from the palace garden.“Don't you want to be helped?” he asked and I shrugged.I
“My father was murdered by Alpha Asher, the triplets father. Just as your father was.If I was not royalty, I would have been banished as well.”I swallowed hard. “Your father was Reed Morris?” He shook his head. “Ivan. Guilty by association.” The pain that flashed in his eyes caused my heart to
Lillie’s POV I had barely run my hands across the spine of some of the books hung in the shelves when the door to the library creaked open. Instinctively, I turned my attention towards the door, just to see David walk in. Pure hatred and rage dwelled in his eyes as he stared at me. My heart thundered wildly behind my chest.

Some tables and shelves separated David and I, but it did nothing to protect me from fury radiating from his body. I was sure that if I went any closer, I would be burned to bits by David's anger.
