Chapter 61Alessia's pov An eerie silence roamed the space outside after the hurrying footsteps of guards left. A guard had rushed in moments ago to call the staged guard by the door of the dungeon.It sounded really urgent; the reason he had been called out of duty. But I couldn't make out what the guard reported through the thick door, besides I felt too weak to even lift a hand. Another sharp sting of hunger plunged at the top of my stomach, leaving a squeaking yelp off my lips as I grabbed the spot in a thought squeeze. Even though I guessed it couldn't be about food, I kept praying the guard had left to get me something to eat. I might starve to death if I get nothing to eat tonight. Telling what time of the day it was seemed in fact impossible, since it always remained pitch back in here. This was pure torture. It's now obvious that Thompson wants me dead. What was I thinking, wanting to stay with him despite everything he's done to me? He had shown me countless times how

Chapter 60CYRIL’S POV “He's crazy.’’ Lance remarked, leaving a sigh off Alan's lips.‘‘I'll give him just until two days time to come around.’’ I said calmly.“But why are you so calm about it, this is so not your type thing to do.’’ Lance complained. There must be something I was missing on. Ever since the topic with Thompson, Lance has been unusually annoyed. He swore and cussed under his breath all through the call with Thompson; we had been in a meeting when his call came in. “Do you have a beef with him before now or something?’’ Alan voiced just the exact question on the tip of my tongue. Lance scoffed. “A beef? I'll rather go hiking on the highest mountain in the city.’’“That two days waiting period, you know what it's called?’’ I let a smirk curved up on my lips. Seeing their blank faces, I went on. “Reflecting period. I doubt there's anyone who wouldn't need that. During this time, he gets to decide what plan of action might be best for him.’’ I relaxed back on my cha

Chapter 59Thompson's povI stormed to the balcony for some air, tightening my fists on the railings. I saw Regal's car drive in and he stepped out to meet my gaze.I nodded at him to come on upstairs.“Greetings, Alpha.’’ He walked in.‘‘Is there a problem?’’ I didn't care much about the coldness in my tone, not bothering to spare a glance at him.“The lycans came.’’ He blurted out.I turned immediately to face him, my anger melting away for a moment.“I think they were on a visit, but we didn't allow them entry.’’ He stated reassuringly.Was that supposed to be reassuring news?“You blocked them?’’ I asked, amused and a bit apprehensive.I understood that I asked them to do it, but I realised I wasn't cut out for reality.“We blocked the borders like you instructed and strictly prevented them from coming in. They returned home following the orders of the lycan king.’’“Their king was with then?’’ I asked again in amusement, a strong stroke crossing down my abdomen.‘‘Yes, Alpha. Is

Chapter 58Thompson's povI listened calmly as the line rang, holding my fingers in a fist. I was starting to believe what Annalise claimed now that Emelda was refusing to take my calls.“How dare that bloody old witch!’’ I gritted, bringing the phone to my face after another unsuccessful attempt to get her on the line.A message popped up on the screen, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Cyril’s name on top. I hated that he managed to steal a skip from my heart.I strolled down to the cellar for a drink, aware of the implications Cyril’s message could likely bring about.Settling down before the table with my index and middle fingers caging the tiny bottom of my wine glass, I tapped on my message box. I read through with a straight face, he demanded a reason for my absence at his anniversary ceremony as well as an intended visit to Silverstone pack this evening.A chuckle fell off my lips.Was he dumb? Couldn't he read the writings on the wall?Without much thought, I dialed his

Chapter 57Alessia's pov Tears blinded my vision, I couldn't recognise the routes he took until he tugged me down the stairs to the basement. I heard him punch some codes on the only door that uses a code down here. The dungeon. “No!’’ I grabbed his hand as he pulled my face up. “No please, don't do this Thompson.’’I couldn't contain the coldness of his face. It forced me into believing he had his mind made up and indeed he did. He flung me into the darkness ignoring my pleads, and slammed the door shut before I even landed on the floor. Dust wafted into my nostrils. Smelly dusts that dug deep coughs from my throat. I staggered to my feets and rushed back to the door. “Let me out.’’ I banged, horribly terrified by the consuming darkness. I couldn't even see my own hands. “Thompson let me out of here, please!!’’ I screamed, my heart thrashing with horror at the scary silence that responded to my voice.Did he leave already? He was really leaving me in here?“Thomp….’’ I trailed

Chapter 56Thompson's povI stopped abruptly on my track, Alessia's unmissable scent thick in the air. There was no doubt she was close by. I marched into the living room, eye-searching thoroughly for her without any success. Rolling my eyes, I proceeded into the masters bedroom and there was Annalise seated on the bed. She stood immediately upon my entrance. “Hey. Are you okay?’’ She approached me slowly. “Did you do it?’’ I had it tied on my tongue tip all night, waiting impatiently to spit it to her. The least I wanted was to hear a lie from her. She threw her gaze downwards, shaking her head in something like disbelief. “Why do y'all ask me that? I could contain it when Alessia threw it at me but you too?’’“Give me a yes or no, Annalise.’’ I snapped, totally out of mood for sick dramas. “Of course I didn't do it. You of all people should know what I'm capable of, we've lived together for four years now.’’ A tear slipped off her eye. I hated the feeling. That I could clea
