If one tells the truth, they don't have to remember anything.
✾
Amara could not see anything.
She had not spoken ever since Lady Vita had pushed her inside the punishment room. She had seen glimpses of what’s inside when Tarryn had been punished and Lady Vita would leave the door slightly ajar. At first, she didn’t understand why Lady Vita would do this. Why she would leave it slightly open, open enough that Tarryn might end up escaping.
Then Amara realized why that was. The reason Lady Vita did that was to showcase her dominance. Showcased how if the other consorts didn’t stay on their lane, they would end up punished like Tarryn. Tarryn always left the punishment room thinner, with dark circles under her soulless eyes. It wasn’t as terrifying as when you’re the one who would a

Assumptions are dangerous things to make, and like all dangerous things to make, if one makes even the tiniest mistake one can find themself in terrible trouble.✾Lady Vita opened the door to see Amara flushed against the wall.She was staring in a daze, her whole body unmoving. Her eyes were red-rimmed, traces of wounds that had long healed on her skin. Dried blood messily scattered across her skin. She had her back against the wall, her knees hugged tight towards her chest. The whole small room felt heavy and the smell of iron wafted through the air. Lady Vita couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped her mouth, and yet even then, Amara did not look up at her.The little girl’s gaze was steady, unblinking. She was facing the door, and yet, it seemed like she was not seeing anything by it. None at al

Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over until you know every touch and corner, but still, you'll find an edge to cut you.✾Amara knew something was different that day.She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, however, she felt like something was amiss. It had started when Lady Vita told her that she had to prepare for the future Alpha’s birthday. That he, who was supposedly her friend, would not like it if she didn’t come prepped and pretty. It was weird, since try as she might, she couldn’t remember an instance where she had met the future Alpha. If they were truly as close as Lady Vita proclaimed they were, why would she forget about it?She doubts the future Alpha was someone you could forget. Deep in thought as she was dressing herself up, she almost flinched when she noticed Eleanor peeking her head through the doorway of their dorm. She felt disappointed with herself. She shouldn’t have been

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.✾Silas has his face set in a grimace.This was the very first time that he was called to the palace kitchen. The staff had requested he check the meals they had prepared. He already brought his very own poison taster, who was currently sat next to him. The food checks were supposed to be run by his father, Alpha Irvine. However, he was unavailable. Silas had been told that his father had something to do at the Boreas. Something about checking in on a certain general’s son.Which was ridiculous for Silas. Why would he leave his own son for some other general’s?“Just who is my father visiting?” Silas asked the staff, his eyebrows already furrowing. Not the mention the snarl t

The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.✾Silas seemed to have forgotten how to breath.Or at least, that’s what he was currently feeling. Eleanor’s statement made his heart hammer against his chest at an erratic rate. He found himself clutching his chest, just above where his heart was. He knew that Amara wasn’t his mate. He knew that it was nothing but his own blood calling him. And yet…he couldn’t help the sting that seems to have made its way to his heart.“Why…” He drawled, sucking in a breath. “Why would she…?”Eleanor didn’t speak, he already knew how confusing this might have felt for his friend.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.✾The tent was a small one, it was close to being brown, shaped like a cube, and had a lone zipper right in the middle that serves as an entrance. It was placed in the middle of the other tents. However, I could tell that Mertha made it so we still had some sort of privacy. Unlike the other tents who were close to their neighboring tents, our tent had a few feet away from the other tents.Yohan was quiet next to me, already I could tell he was thinking about what might happen to me once we do get inside. The tent was small. Sure, there would still be enough space that we could sleep and still have a safe distance between us. Except, I feel like this is the only tim
