I picked it up and headed back to the shelf. Once there, I wiped the dirt from my hands and that brought a thought to mind. My eyes went back to the bookshelf and landed at the top. I didn't know why but I was drawn to that spot, and in one swift movement, I wiped the handkerchief/ rag over a particular dusty spot and what it revealed had me giddy like a six year old."Yesss!" I cried out in pure excitement. " I found it!""G18?" Zoe called. " Where is it?""No, no, not G18." I toned my voice down a little. " This is A1 but you know what that means, right?""Yes." Zoe didn't sound too thrilled to be looking around more bookshelves but I bet she wanted to get to the bottom of all of this, just like I wanted to. " If there's an A1, then there's supposed to be a G18 too.""Exactly." And with that, I set out to work immediately. The other shelves were even more dustier than the previous ones. I was searching in no specific pattern but the more I searched, the more dejected I started to f

"You're kidding right?" Was the exact same reaction I had when I'd just finished some of the books and pieced two and two together, so seeing or feeling Zoe rather have the exact reaction was proof that I wasn't crazy and most importantly, that I wasn't wrong. " Tell me you're kidding.""I'm not." I replied, settling on the chair in front of my vanity. Flashbacks from some of the scenes in the books played in my head and I shuddered momentarily. " I really am not.""How could someone do those kind of things?" It was mortifying to be honest. Mortifying wasn't even the right word for it. " And to your wife too. ""Or any woman for that matter." I chipped in. Just because they were married, that didn't give Oliver Sage the right to hit her. The worst part is, he hit her in worthless situations even when it wasn't her fault. " He was a monster.""Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, they say." Zoe quipped. " It truly doesn't. Do you think that's contributed to the Alpha's mental

"Are you sure about this Bailey?" Zoe asked for the umpteenth time, while I adjusted my appearance in the mirror. In contrast to how calm I looked, I was panicking on the inside. Maybe panicking wasn't the word, perhaps anxious would be a rather good fit. The churning in my stomach was a good indication that my head and my mind didn't quite agree on what I was about to do. " Bailey, can you hear me?"Oh, I could. Loud and clear too but I wasn't sure I was ready to answer the question. Was I sure about it? No. Did I think it would work? I felt my chances were really low. Would I give up, absolutely not."Are you sure about this Bailey?" She asked again. " Do you think this would work?""To be honest, I have no idea. " I smoothed out the creases that were forming on the bodice of my purple dress. " But we'll just have to find out, won't we?""I guess so. The plan's still the same right?""Affirmative." I nodded before shaking my head and letting my blond curls fall to my shoulders. " Le

I stood by the door of the throne room, ears pressed against the double doors that separated me from Noah and his dignitaries that sat around him. I wasn't keeping tabs on him, but a certain birdie tipped me off that he'd headed straight to the meeting right after our little heated argument in the room. He'd left me speechless and I was sure he was reveling in the fact that he'd won and that didn't sit right with me. So I'd decided to make him pay, one way or the other.Snippets of our conversation from earlier came up and a few words struck something in me.Women are weaker vessels, only to be trampled upon and nothing else. I agreed it wasn't totally her fault, but a huge chunk of the blame fell solely on Anthonia but at the same time I just couldn't pin everything on her. Knowing the kind of man Oliver was, I wouldn't be surprised if he had something hovering over her head, just like his son had over mine. Either way, I would find a way to end all of this. Now that the mystery of

Nothing came to mind the moment I finally left the throne room, but what I wasn't expecting was a fuming Noah, waiting impatiently for me in his room, sorry,scratch that, our room, his face as red as a tomato with him stomping his feet to a quite rhythmic tune if I might add.I left the door ajar, waiting for him to say something. He said nothing, not even a single sound till I slammed the door shut, hardly. But it was then, all hell broke loose."How dare you!!?" He let out in one breath, like he'd been waiting, waiting patiently for me to shut the door. " How dare you!!""Whoa, whoa, whoa." I cooed, my hands rising up in mock surrender. I knew he wouldn't be happy with what went down in the throne room, but ambushing me like this, I did not see it coming. " Just relax…..""Shut up!" He cut me off, startling me in the process too. " You vile woman, you wretched worthless piece of shit. ""Noah." I called, something bubbling in my veins. Yes, he was mad for whatsoever reason best know

NOAH I only had one place in mind, my study. That was the only place that could give me the comfort and solitude I needed. My room would have been the next stop for me but that was no longer possible, someone else had decided to barge in and ruin every ounce of sanity I could get. Yeah, that's right; Bailey Gayle.I fumed as her words rang loudly in my ear. With each step I took towards my study, the voices got louder, her sickly sweet voice threatening to make me go mad. In more time than I'd anticipated, I arrived at the door of my study and barged in, slamming the doors behind me. It rattled in its hinges and for a moment I thought it would fall down. After a few minutes had passed and there was no activity on the door, I headed to my desk and slumped into the chair, my back coming in contact with the soft cushion.A sigh slid past my lips, and Bailey just wouldn't leave me alone."I would never touch a woman…" I heard myself say. I knew I had anger issues, but it wasn't as ba

"Bailey!" I wasn't listening. My name rang all around me but I wasn't listening. I could hear it but I decided not to listen. And there was nothing anyone could do to stop that. " Bailey! Listen to me!"But I wasn't. I pushed a vase off the table, the ceramic piece crashing to the ground with a loud thud. Its pieces scattered, sending a flurry of white ceramic tinged with fiery red tips scattering around the wooden finishing of Noah's floor. Hot headed and barely seeing properly, I side stepped the mess, hoping one of the maids would hear the ruckus I was making and come clean it up. I found my next target, Noah's bedside table. It didn't hold a lot, just a mug and some pens. Another glance and I saw Anthonia's framed photograph. One more look at her pretty smile was all it took for all my sanity to go out the window."Bailey, don't do it." Zoe's whimpering voice was like a backdrop to all the million bad decisions swirling around in my head. She'd been crying for close to an hour no

The sun shine brightly, covering the inhabitants of the earth in a warm glow. I could feel it from the window and Noah's room and the warm weather signified a good day for a walk in the garden. Without waiting to be told, or more specifically, without anyone coming to tell me I wasn't allowed out of the palace, I burst out of the room, my shoes scurrying against the smooth surface of the castle tiles. In no time I was in front of the many doors Ethan had shown me before leaving. My hand gingerly held the doorknob, and the warmth that pulsated underneath my palm confirmed my decision. I was making the right choice and because of this, the door swung open in one push.There weren't any reflective surfaces on the outside, but I really didn't need any to know my face had morphed already, into one of disappointment with a tinge of confusion and a sprinkle of anger. Instead of the sun beating down on the many variations in the garden, the celestial light assigned to rule the day was still u
