"He accused Sylvester of increasing taxes for poor people, and sending soldiers to attack people that couldn't pay. Who does that to his blood? Does he not know that the entire Volkov family will lose the Lordship if Sylvester falls?" I asked her, and she was still stunned. "Dominic is your son, an
"It has come to our attention that you ordered soldiers to attack the Brighton Pack in the western borders because they could not pay up. You know these people are farmers and can't afford the development tax. Yet, you ordered an attack on them," She said, lifting a paper that I was sure had Sylvest
~Sylvester~ What Tamia did blew me away. She fearlessly came to my defence and put the council in their place. I was blessed. I looked at Dominic's box and was grateful that he did not come. The hearing would have been difficult if he had shown up. Of everyone, he was the only one that could disre
"I looked at Larry, who was equally shocked, but I could not believe his reaction. They could have planned it. He could have as well been the mastermind and planned it with my brother to be the fall guy. I I looked at him and let my eyes linger on his. "I have no hand in this, Lord Volkov," he sa
~Tamia~ I was afraid of the outcome of the confrontation. How can everything switch suddenly? The woman claimed I threatened her; I did not remember doing that. I just warned her that Dominic shouldn't be in my bad books. From the look in Sylvester's eyes, I knew I had overstepped, and I was wo
"I would have lost the seat today. If they could prove that I committed those crimes, the Volkov family would no longer be in charge. Are his feelings worth all that?" He asked her, and she began to weep and went to her knees. "You know he didn't do this. He is not smart enough to pull something li
I wished he would sink his teeth into my flesh at that moment and claim me. I wanted to be his forever and prove Stephanie was wrong. He did not just have them, he had me, too, and the children we would have in future... He had my love, heart and my life, and I know it was enough, just as he was e
~Tamia~ Avery and Linda arrived in my room a few minutes after they had linked me. They sat on the couch while I dressed up in Sylvester's clothes. What happened with his mother baffled me, and I was nervous about what to expect from the woman. The switch was disturbing, and somehow I knew it wo
Dear Readers and Beloved Co-Writers, I am thrilled to share some exciting news with all of you. Liam and Josephine are embarking on their own unique adventure, and their story is becoming so enthralling that it deserves its own book. Considering the depth and breadth of this tale, I've received wi
"I... I’m clueless," I stammered as he trailed kisses along my neck, each touch igniting a wild sensation within me. "Same here," he managed between breaths, his hand gradually tracing up my thigh. His confession reassured me, and at that moment, I embraced the idea of exploration and discovery wit
"I was scared, partly because of Sophia's presence. She seemed perfect, so normal, and I…" I stumbled over my words, the memory stoking an odd ache within me. The pain from that day was stubborn, refusing to fade. "I felt like I couldn't measure up, Li. But my sister insisted that I should give it
"Since we can't venture out alone, I convinced Mrs. Mirabel to join us," he explained, and a surge of excitement led me to embrace him tightly. His consideration touched me deeply. I had yearned to return to the park ever since that day. Even though the stream wasn't quite the same as the lake, it
~Josephine~ A rush of excitement coursed through me, and a smile tugged at Liam's lips as he stood by the doorway. Since there was nothing to grab in my room, I slipped on my slippers and made my way outside. "Did your father get in touch?" Liam inquired as we descended the staircase, and I nodded
"I have to hope that we are fated to be together or that we possess the strength to do what his parents did: defy expectations and reject what fate has in store for us," I mused aloud, causing Charlotte's expression to take on a tinge of concern."Let us not worry about things that are yet to come a
"Because you are my friend, and he is my cousin, and I know of Sophia, so I want to know why you will allow yourself to get carried away," she responded, her tone genuinely concerned. I offered her a smile, touched by her sincerity."There's nothing between him and Sophia," I reassured, to which she
~Josephine~The kappas coming from Lucland didn't reach Grizlo Hospital until late, subjecting us all to a lengthy and tense wait. When they finally did arrive, Charlotte couldn't contain her joy. Meanwhile, I observed Justin issuing them instructions, my only thought being an earnest desire to depa
Seeing that the Royal family is somehow involved in this mess, I request that the council get involved and assist me in solving this matter," He said, and people began to murmur. "How was the Royal family implicated? Isn't this your jurisdiction, alpha Zakharov?" Pamela asked, and he nodded, then m
