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.

None of it matters. He already knew who he would choose.Everything was prepared, now all he had to do was tell Eleanor.Eleanor, on the other hand, was preparing for the coronation. Ever since the day that they had fought, she and Amara had never seen eye to eye. She would always check up on her and watch her from afar, but that was the best that she could do. Amara ha

Winning a war is the easy part. All it takes is brawn. Maintaining your rule afterward is the real test.✾Eleanor bit the nail of her thumb while waiting anxiously for Silas’s door to open.She always took pride in herself in knowing what to do. She was the one who came up with the plan in order to save Amara. She was the one who came up with the plan with how they could remove any suspicions from them. She was the one who told Silas what the right thing to do was. She had always found what the best solution for every problem was.And for all the times she did just that, her mind was blank and empty right now.

One can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, one must build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.✾Silas tucked the envelope back inside his pocket.It was coronation day and he just finished announcing the consorts that he would be bringing with him back to the palace. He tried not to let Amara’s crestfallen expression get to him. He was doing amazing so far. Eleanor was too. They had already run through the plan for a week, and still, he felt anxious. Eleanor commended him over the plan, told him that it sounded amazing and smart. He was proud of it too, even though it was a last-minute thing.His father won’t be too happy when he hears about it. However, he won’t. Silas had already prepared for that. A few weeks after the consorts sett

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

To err is human, to forgive, divine.✾“She had always thought me that I shouldn’t rely too much on anyone,” I bite my lip, looking up at him from under my lashes. Yohan was quiet, he didn’t comment and just continued listening to me. Nodding ever so often whenever I stop talking just so he could take in the things I’m saying. So far, he still hadn’t pushed me away. I could take that as a good sign, couldn’t I? “And well…it’s no secret that I was different, the bad different when I had been at the academe.”Yohan rubbed his cheek to mine, “You’ve changed, Amara. For the better.”“I guess,” Sighing, I lean more into him. He was trailing his fingers along my spine and I appreciated it. It made me calm. “From what I could remember, we were out at the market then. That was the very first time that I went outside the gates. Every
