“What are you suggesting?”

Pierre raised his chalice to take a sip, thinking over his response before answering the question. The distinct bitterness of plum brandy coated the palate of his mouth.

“You said it yourself, Marcus. Those wolves keep tearing through the fencing of the monastery, and only wreak havoc. They are clearly rabid. The sensible action to take from here would be to shoot the...

"Do you ever wonder if you’ll ever find love like that?" Noor asks as she watches my older sister and her husband—Yuva and Jozab.

I snap out of my daze. Fuck. Was I just watching Noor?

Anyway, where did that question even come from? "What? You mean Yuva and Jozab?"

She nods.

I look over at my older sister and Jozab. Suddenly, an image of Noor cuddled up against me they way Yuva is against...

Heart beats in the darkness.

My heels on the gravel went

I began to sweat.

Tell me this isn’t a heart attack.

Should I steady my pace?

I can’t seem to breathe.

Does he notice?

He takes my coat off.

I am floating.

The rush of endorphins.

I can’t feel my toes.

My eyes widen. “Alderic?! What are you doing here?”

Alderic stands in the council room with my father. He isn’t too shocked by my entry, as I hoped, so I assume that they were talking about me, as everyone has had been recently. I walked up to him until I was a few feet away from him and awaited his response.

“Lenore, you seem surprised to see me.”

He flashes me his trademark smirk and I must b...

Demetrius looked across the throne room towards the one that was called the ‘saviour’, the ‘promised one’, the ‘ruin’ some may say including himself only a month ago when he met her. The human, some had mocked.

That word disgusted him, made his thoughts turn slightly sour just for a moment before the human turned and looked at him, and he thought he saw a ghost of a smile danced on her lips. A sm...

Note: Okay lol this is very unfinished, sorry!! I wanted to post something though bc I didn’t know what to write, so yeah 🙃

I look at him

He looks away

It’s so close to summer, I should ask. Shouldn’t I? But something’s holding me back. What?

He turns around to look at me & I unconsciously start to smile. He returns the smile & turns back around.

My heart does a flip inside, & I inwardly...

She looked at me with flirty eyes. I laughed. Hilarious, right? Every conversation I had with her was akward and I guess, somewhere along the way, we came up with an inside joke where we would flirt with each other. We can’t seem to bring anything else up in our conversations. It must be hilarious for her because she’s a lesbian and I’m - something. She doesn’t need to know that though. She doesn’...

“Rachel.” “Zay.”

The environment feels stiff, like someone put a lock on the things we can say. “How’s the relationship?” That’s the only thing I think to say. “Oh, it’s… okay, at best,” Rachel replies. “He just keeps ignoring me whenever I try to start a conversation.” The thing I want to say in response is unable for me to be said. I can’t exactly respond to Rachel saying that…

His eyes were dark- so very dark, like the sky on a winter night with no stars. Deep, too, like a puddle on the path that was actually a hundred feet deep, just waiting for some unsuspecting girl to accidentally step in and-

_“Her eyes, her smile, the warmth she gave me..is this real?.., but..she’s not real. Oh archon, why does it have to her?-“ _He muttered to himself.

The _‘bird’_ from afar glances at him as she smiles.

He responded with a rather unpleasant look on his face, but what can he possibly do? His feelings is towards a ‘bird’ that was bound to be eaten by someone like him. Sadly, the ‘lion’ doesn’t know ...
