Ashley's POVLogan dragged me onwards, jerking me on forcefully. Stopping in my tracks I looked back at Allen.Right there on the floor, Allen's gaze pierced into my eyes. One of his arms was pointing at me as Logan dragged me on."How dare you!?" Logan snicker, pushing me into the ground."How dare you!?" He spat, squatting before me. His eyes were on fire, I couldn't look at them. "Since when? You have been playing me, huh!?" He demanded in his alpha tone and I shuddered."My… Prince…""Stop it! Don't you dare call my name!" He roared."You traitor! You knew all the while and you pretended. I must have looked like a joke to you!!!""I…. I,""Bring it on! Say it! You pretentious jerk! Has he kissed you already? Did you allow him!? You disgust me!" He yelled and pulled my chin roughly.Without warning, he smacked his lips on my lips, kissing me roughly.His teeth and tongue ravaged my mouth painfully and I tried to pull away, but he broke the kiss as soon as he started."Isn't that t
REGAN’S POV, Still in my chambers, I sat in my wheelchair staring into space. I was in a vintage position where I had a good view of the royal court.I’d been watching the royals come in horses and proceed into the royal court.Undiluted rage consumed me as the thought that I’d have to meet my foes taunted me.I never knew I was clutching the tumbler in my grip until I took one more sip from it. You wouldn't blame me, I had to settle for liquor to calm my nerves. Although it wasn't working.“My prince, the meeting is about to commence!” Divulged a guard whom I had sent to stalk the courtroom.Without responding, I decided to delay a bit till I finished a full bottle of liquor. “Let’s go!” I commanded the guard when I deemed fit. I let him take charge of the wheels as he drove me away. We were still around my chamber when someone’s voice suddenly got my attention. And without looking, I knew it was Maya. “And where is Prince Regan of Colleen going, huh?” Mockery dripped every bit o
Regan’s POV I gnashed my teeth as I increased the speed of my wheel. It was clear enough that I was useless. I couldn't defend myself or my people. Yes, this isn't me but what is the essence of the prominence held in obscurity? By the time I arrived at my chambers, my vision was red. All the guards knew better than to fly out my way. "Roy! Fetch Tega's body. It's along the lawns that lead to the courtroom. Be careful not to get caught," I ordered one of my guards. "Tega's body? Yes… Yes, My Prince…" he stuttered, widening his eyes. I rode on at a dangerous speed and it was a miracle that I did not fall off the wheelchair. The first place my eyes caught was the racks of alcohol in my living room. I was going crazy and I needed and I needed whatever would dull my pain. Driving towards the towering racks of alcohol, I tried grabbing a bottle but it suddenly became a struggle since my hands couldn’t reach it and while I was at it, a hand came from nowhere to take it out. I looke
Regan’s POV, Do you know that feeling when you finally find your lost treasure? That was the state I was pummeled into the moment I rode into my study. The sight of my shadow guard who was sitting in his invisible form on one of the chairs uplifted my spirits in a way I’d never expected. “M..my...my...prince.” He got on his feet immediately when I entered. His facial expression had a nervous glitch which I ignored and instead sprang to my feet. “Adrian!!” I cooed as I engulfed him in a bone-crushing hug. I felt his body stiffen under my grip but it gradually relaxed as I continued hugging him tightly like my life depended on it.... well, maybe It did. “Adrian I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for not coming to check on you. I’m sorry!” I kept muttering words of apology as I hugged the shit out of him. I couldn’t believe it myself as I felt tears break free from my eyes. “Okay, that’s enough now, please. You’re cho...choking me ...Argh...” Adrain protested, struggling to break free from m
Regan’s POV, I watched as Adrian compressed my wheelchair and tossed it under the desk. He then walked towards me, giving me a knowing look. I nodded, and he wound his arm around my middle. Instantly, we became invisible, and together we dissolved into thin air. We traveled through space and landed in a different location.As I disengaged from Adrian, my eyes scanned around and I discovered we were in a grassland. “What are we doing here? I mean… I thought you were taking me directly to the cave.” I arched my brows and then scanned the premises once more. The area was void. Looking yonder, the blue sky overlapped with the green grasses creating an illusion of a beautiful preset.The strong wind had our hair and garments swirling around, it was quite refreshing. Refreshing to be outside the fucking palace once again. “Overlook my indulgence, my Prince. I know how much you like to ride on Maximus and walk around. That's why I decided to bring you here… to enjoy the ride." Adrian s
Ashley’s POV,I knew that Logan wouldn’t really hurt me, but I was scared for Allen. Considering Logan's extreme hatred towards him, this will certainly not end well.My eyes darted to the entrance of Allen's room and I cringed.“I am sorry…. I’m sorry for coming here I… swear, I didn’t…..” I stuttered and my voice trailed off as I turned to face Logan. It was my last resort. I had to beg him this time.I quickly bowed to avoid his gaze which must be spitting fire by now. But who am I kidding? Without spitting a word, Logan gripped my wrist and I gasped. He then pulled me away from my spot, dragging me into the nearest compartment.All the way, I couldn't look at him. My heart throbbed when he let go. I braced myself up expecting him to take his anger on me but I was wrong.“Ashley…” he murmured with a soft tone and I rared my head up, looking into his eyes. Although his eyes were unnaturally red, there was a soft glow in his eyes which made me frown. Taking a good look at him. He l
Ashley’s POV, A chilly breeze caressed my skin, yet I felt so hot. Playing the middleman for two foes who were trying to put away their differences could be really choking. Right now, I was sitting together with both Prince Logan and Allen on a round table. So far, nobody had spoken a word and the tension between Logan and Allen as they fixed their gazes was so thick. “So? What now? Why did you call me all the way down here?” Allen finally broke the silence. His tone sounded harsh and he looked so exasperated like he should be anywhere else but here. Well, he’d downright turned down Logan’s request when he came for him at the slave quarters. Aside from the fact that it was already late in the night, Allen didn’t want anything to do with Logan but I had to step in. I mean after the sincere apology we got from Alpha Simpson the previous day, it wouldn't look good for Allen to turn down Logan so I had to persuade him to hear Logan out. Moreover, we agreed to work together as a t
Ashley’s POV, It has been an uneventful weekend as nothing new really took place. Well, except you want to add the fact that Allen and Logan finally resolved their differences but we haven’t really had any important convo before our new mission.Though the moon goddess had blessed the day richly, I wasn’t getting a share of that. The day was bright, sunny, and windy. The wind blew hard, twirling my hair and attire. But after working my life out, all I felt now was exhaustion as beads of sweat were all over my body. I and the other slaves were out on the field, not a literal field though. We were simply working and we were split into two groups. While male slaves dug the soils for iron ores, the females had to go carrying them in sacks into the storeroom.Eventually, the work was gradually coming to a close as the male slaves finished their jobs while we had to do the finishing.Allen came to join me and he relieved me of work by helping me carry down the materials. Though we got sc
