CHAPTER SEVEN
ELIJAH'S POV
Apologizing to Ella last night for my mother's behavior was not an easy task. She(Ella) was so mad that she didn't want to hear anything I had to say.
I had to make a lot of promises before she even listened to me, but the most important thing is that we are fine now.
I honestly don't know how to make peace between my mother and Ella. They are both the most important women in my life and right now, I badly need them to be united, but it seems to be a mission impossible.
I honestly don't know what to do.
Right now I'm in my office, signing paperwork and scheduling meetings for the week.
Adapting to this hectic work was easy because while growing up, my father made sure I was by his side all the time in order to get versed with the way things were done around here. I always complained about not having e
CHAPTER EIGHTELIJAH'S POVI know better than to not release Cassie tonight. Mother will throw a Luna version of a crazy tantrum if I don't do that and that is the last thing I want to happen.I hate the situation I currently find myself in right now. Mother wants me to release Cassie and have her work as a maid instead, but Ella doesn't want her here at all. She (Ella) believes that Cassie's pheromone will have some influence over me, but I know myself and when I say it won't, it definitely won't!This is just a difficult phase and I'm going to overcome it.As I walk along the hallway in the dungeon leading to Cassie's cell, I know I'm getting closer when her pheromone hits my nostrils hard. I freeze on my tracks and take it all in with my eyes closed. It smells like Vanilla cream, mixed with strawberries. Its so captivating and right now, my legs want me to fly over to he
CHAPTER NINECASSIE'S POVI was released by nightfall as per Alpha Elijah's commands and taken to the servant quarters where I was shown my bedroom and given some clothes… Servant clothes if I may add.I had thought the Servants were going to be mean to me, but it turned out I was wrong. They were super nice and welcomed me with open arms.For the past three days, I have been serving as a servant and because everyone around me is so nice and humane, I don't even feel it.I noticed that the servants share rooms, but in my case, I don't share a room with anyone. The other servants told me Alpha Elijah's mother made the arrangements.
CHAPTER TENCASSIE'S POVI sadly walk into the kitchen where I meet other servants discussing. The excruciating pain in my left has me crying like a baby and the moment the others see me, they all rush over to me with concerned looks on their faces."Cassie, what happened?""Why are you crying?""Did the witch do anything to you?"They flood my head with questions and I just stare at them blankly. I don't even have the energy to talk."Step away from her" another voice commands and they all obey. I look and see our Servant supe
CHAPTER ELEVENCASSIE'S POVI was beyond shocked when news came in that Alpha Elijah had requested for me to take the day off because of my injury. I noticed his mood changed when he saw the burn on my hand, but I just didn't think he would react this way.I wonder if his fiancé knows about this.Now this only gives room for my stupid heart to start fantasizing about things that will never come to pass.I don't even know what I'm going to be doing all day, but I'm glad that I won't have to do any work with the pain I'm currently feeling right now.Soon, there is a knock on the room doo
CHAPTER TWELVEELLA'S POVI think I need to do more than just make Alpha Elijah hate Cassie more. I have to cross over to Luna Elvira's side. She seems to love Cassie very much and that's one of the reasons why she can't accept me into the family. If I can cause a scandal that will make her start to doubt Cassie, then I think I will be doing good for myself.I have to sabotage that friendship they have and I have figured out the perfect way to go about that.It's been a few days since the tea incident happened. No one is talking about it anymore and Cassie has resumed work. Now is the perfect time for me to cause another scandal.I walk into the closet, whe
CHAPTER THIRTEENELIJAH'S POVThis is the second time I'm going to see Cassie with the intention of scolding her, but end up not doing anything when I finally meet her.I don't know what always gets over me.One thing for sure is that she has a very fat mouth and everything that comes out of it always strikes the wrong nerve.Ella told me her bracelet was missing, I didn't think it was any cause for alarm because I thought it would be somewhere in the closet. But she said that she had searched for it all over and couldn’t find it.When she told me Cassie had been in the closet for a whole lot of hours organizing g our clothes, it still didn't ring on my mind that she(Cassie
CHAPTER FOURTEENELIJAH'S POVI hastily stride down the hallway, trying to locate Cassie's cell, panting in anger. Ella is going to be the end of me.Why would she even think of setting up Cassie?What exactly is running through her mind?I have told Ella time and again, I would never leave her for Cassie. I love her and that's why I've chosen her to be my wife, but she keeps letting her insecurities get the better of her. Now she has made me accuse Cassie falsely.She had better stop causing all this confusion up and down because I'm not going to tolerate it.
CHAPTER FIFTEENELLA’S POVI still can’t believe Elijah asked me to spend the night in the guest room all because of that little girl. I didn’t get any sleep at all. I kept tossing and trashing on the bed like there were bed bugs walking all over my body. Right now I’m furious and I just want her to go away.Also, I’m still to find out how he got to know that the bracelet issue was set up. That was a plan for him to hate Cassie more, but it backfired and now he is disappointed in me.I don’t feel good about this. I don’t feel good about this at all and I wish I could do something to get rid of everyone who is trying to sabotage my plan of becoming Luna.
CHAPTER FORTY-TWOELIJAH'S POVMum Ella and I are seated at the dinning about to eat dinner and with the way mum is looking at Ella, I'm scared that she might swallow her any time soon.I won't have a problem if she does that.Now I understand why mum used to look at her with contempt.Now I understand why mother hates her so much. She has a repulsive character and i can bet my life that she takes lessons from the devil.Right now I can't even look at her in the face because I hate her so much, I don't been know why she's still here.The m

Before I could even tell them I will go so they will be free,they lashed out on me.I felt betrayed and unloved by my own people.That only proved the fact that
CHAPTER FORTYCASSIE'S POVIt took me all my strength and morals to stand my ground and not forgive Elijah yesterday.The guy cried before me, but that didn't make me believe him.He said he wasn't conscious of what he was doing because Ella drugged him, but that is not a story I'm going to believe.All he needed to do was to go and talk with Ella, how did he get drugged?He is a chronic liar and a cheat and I'm never going to give him a chance to play me again!Well...that's enough about Elijah and his lies telling.&n

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTELIJAH'S POVI step out of my car with the saddest look on.The talk with Cassie didn't go well at all. She refused to believe me when I told her that I didn't sleep with Ella intentionally.She called me a liar, a cheat, a cruel heartbreaker and many other names I can't remember.All my pleas and explanations did not move her and all I could do was leave her be.I understand where she's coming fromI would react the same way if I were in her shoes.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXCASSIE'S POVI waited for Elijah all night, but he didn't come to tell me how his discussion with Ella went.He told me he was going to come, but he didn't and now I'm worried.Did something go wrong?Did he change his mind?No!I need to stop overthinking.He couldn't have changed his mind.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVECASSIE'S POVI hop over to Luna Elvira's chambers in excitement.I can't believe this is finally happening!Alpha Elijah asked me to marry him. He told me he loved me and that he cannot do without me.Only the Moon goddess knows how much I kept blushing throughout our date.Yeah, he did take me somewhere nice and I had a great time.I asked about my pack and he told me right now, I'm free to go there anytime I wish and that once we get married, he is going to unite our packs and rule both as one.I don't have a problem with that.He also told me he will discuss with Ella tonight and tell her about his decision and I kind of feel bad for her right now, but on second thought, I don't feel bad because she had to see this coming.She got engaged to an Alpha who
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURELLA'S POVI heard them all.I heard everything they just said and I will have to be dead before I let all that come to pass.Elijah cannot get rid of me so easily.I won't let that happen.I'm happy I eavesdropped on their conversation. Right now, what I need to do is find a way to stop all this from happening and I can't do it on my own. This is the moment when I get my mum involved.I know if I ask her for advice,she will have something to tell me, so I'm on my way to my parents house right now.I already mind linked her to tell her I will be paying her a visit and she is ready for me."Cassie can't win this fight!"
