Eleanor's POV “ Come in” I pushed the door open, walking in. It was the first time Andre was calling me since the last time he had carried me in here, before placing me on the bed.I halted, contemplating walking in when I saw Phoebe sitting on his lap, acting all lovey-dovey with him. She had her lips on his shoulders and a towel wrapped around her waist, and it wasn't so hard to tell what had happened before I stepped in.How exactly was I going to look beyond that when the room was filled with the scent? the after sex one?My eyes burnt with tears in them and I bit on my lips with my nails digging into my palm. My wolf gnashed her teeth. She wanted him and he knew but he was resisting her. He was telling her that he didn't want her. That she could go to hell if she wanted. “ I am here,” I said to him. “ Oh…have you been there for a while now?” I rolled my eyes. He was ever the talkative. The one who could go on acting like he hadn't seen me in the first place. I was angered b
Andre's POVI could have sworn that for a moment, I had forgotten how to breathe, I didn't know how to anymore. Not that I wanted to. She looked heavenly. Dressed in her emerald green gown, the one that I had specifically made for her, she looked exquisite. She was looking so beautiful that I was vexed when I saw others ogling at her. All that I wanted to do was poke at those eyes. How dare they look at my mate? I snapped myself out of the daydream I was having. She was nothing other than a breeder to me, nothing more, nothing less. “ Yours. Yours. She is your mate” my wolf kept giggling excitedly. “ Go to her, go to her '' he cajoled. I had taken a step further when Phoebe placed a hand around my arm. “ What do you think you are doing? Don't tell me that you are going there, to help her. It has to be some kind of joke right?” I quickly placed my leg back, like I had missed my footings earlier. “ Of course not, why would I go to her when you are right here?” “Right..?” She had a
Andre’s POV“ What is going on?” I panicked as I kept on contemplating what exactly could be wrong. I didn't like this. I never had. Eleanor lay down, almost winded as she tried to breathe effortlessly. I was a mess. Not any better than she was. “ Aren't you going after Phoebe?” I threw him a sizzling gaze, one that told him to shut his mouth up, before pacing up and down still. I had a hand underneath my chin. My stomach churned endlessly at the possibility that I wouldn't have her with me anymore. “ What exactly is wrong with her? Why isn't my mate doing or saying anything?” I was a mess, and better than I should have been. “ Your majesty” I could see that he was fidgeting, I didn't know if it was underneath my gaze or something else had to do with it, but he was shaking like a fallen leaf would have been. “ Yes, speak up” any more minute and I would snap. He was taking a lot of time and I didn't like that. “ She was poisoned” A ding sound resonated through the atmosphere as
Andre’s POV“ Phoebe! Phoebe” my voice rambled as my feet picked up the pace hurrying after her, her heels clacking on the tiles resonating through the air as I tried to meet with her steps. “ What!” She halted, glaring at me. “ What exactly do you want? Let me guess” She placed a hand underneath her chin, staring hard at me. “ You want me to stay with her? Eleanor? What exactly do you take me for? A fool?” “ That wasn't what I wanted to tell you” I swallowed, I didn't want her here. Not anymore. “ Then? What is it?” I stood, my eyes boring holes into hers as I tried to fathom how to put them. They might hurt, but she would get used to it. “Let's end this, whatever it is that you think is going on here, let's get it over with. Eleanor is the one I want, and she is the one I am keeping by my side”.With hands placed on her stomach, she erupted into maddened laughter. One that I wasn't used to. “ What are you? A jester?” “ Phoebe, I am serious” I deadpanned. “ I am so dead serious,
Andrea’s POVI slammed my fist hard into the wall, my eyes brimming with so much hurt than I could fathom. My eyes took in Phoebe's steps as she stalked away, her shoulders raised so high like she had won this. Letting out a huff of air, I ran a hand through my hair, wondering who exactly I was going to get her off my back. Was she dense or so stupid? She could ask for anything and I would hand it over to her, just in exchange for Eleanor's love. I felt pain when Eleanor did, I could feel her innocence streaming through me when I had taken it, and although I had stopped myself from treating her so differently, it had taken all of me to do so. Letting a wisp out of my mouth. I sauntered toward my office, raising the phone against my ears. “Phoebe” I spoke into the phone when she picked up. “ Come over” I counted down to the hours that she would get in here with different proposals in mind. The door cranked open announcing her presence and when our eyes met, all I felt was disgust.
Eleanor’s POV “ You should just die, you aren't needed anyway, whoever gets in touch with you ends up sad, so just die” those were the words that filtered into my ears as my eyes fluttered open to see a pillow hovering over me. A groan escaped my lips, as I forced myself up. “ What do you think you are doing?” I asked Phoebe, who had a smirk on her face. Her lips curled into a scowl as she dug saucers into me. “ Why….why…are you awake? You shouldn't have, from the moment you did, everything changed. Andre never hated me, he loved me. He was ready to do everything to make me happy but with your arrival, everything changed. So leave, get out of our life”I pushed back against the wall, but I just couldn't escape from her scorned eye. Everything moved in spirals as I tried to get away. She had flung the pillow to the side, scampering forward still. “ Help…!” I screamed out with everything in me as I tried to fend her away from me, her eyes soar with anger before stomping away, after
Phoebe footsteps echoed down the hall as she pivoted down to her room, her heart slamming so hard again it's ribcage. “ Ahhhhhh” she yelled out frustrated as her hands moved over the top of the table, flipping everything off it. Her chest rose and fell slightly at the same time a hand ran through her hair. “ I will kill you, Eleanor. I will make sure that you pay for everything, for taking Andre away from me, I am going to make you shed tears for the rest of your life” she swore before pushing herself against the wall, needles jabbed her heart. Elder Darren, who had been awakened by the sound of crashing items, stood up abruptly as he made his way to the source of the noise he had heard. His heart splitted at the thought that it was his daughter but he hoped that wasn't true. She wasn't supposed to be crying and she wasn't supposed to be here. The palace was where she was supposed to be, beside Andre. Pushing the door open, he was startled to see her leaning against the wall, stre
Eleanor's POV “ No, I am not going with you. Why do I have to leave with you to your office?” I whispered to Andre who wasn't having it any way else. His hands were wrapped around my waist, eyes clashed through mine as he whispered. “ I don't want anyone else around you. I mean, come on, I won't be able to breathe properly if I see Marrion around you. What if he just walks in while I am away and whisk you off?” He questioned. His brows were puckered, and he was dressed just right, in an ash suit that would always blow off my mind at all times, but I wasn't going to do this. “ Fine, let's get this done with. I will only go with you on one term” His eyes lit up as he nodded at me, waiting for me to say what I had in mind. “ You will let me go home first” “ Home?” He wondered before gulping in when he got it. “ I will go with you, I mean… I should talk to your parents. I had been mean initially, but I should make amends. It is time that I do so”My heart swelled at the realization

Andre's POVI reclined against the chair, watching all of her reactions through the CCTV I had installed in her room. How could a person be so cute, yet so stubborn? I chuckled softly, placing a hand over my mouth when she tilted her head to the side. it seemed like she was staring around, was she trying to confirm if I had placed one in the room or what exactly was she doing? I gulped down the spittle when she tilted her head directly toward it, my heart skipped a bit because I thought that I had been caught before she swayed her waist to the side, moving it gently. Why was I just getting to know that she could do this? “I feel so tired, should I just sleep off? My stomach hurts and I can't just find any of the sanitary pads in here, what am I going to do now? My period is supposed to come today, what if it gets humiliating? How am I supposed to tell him?” She cursed, biting on her finger. I picked up the phone beside me, speaking into it when the head maiden answered. “Can I kno
