MARSAI’S POVI woke up, panting hard and in fear of the creature that must have been watching me, coming out in the open and then someone hugged me.“It’s fine, Marsai. You are safe.” He said, softly and I began to calm down.I knew that I was already in a safe place and I didn’t have to fear. Then I noticed I was actually in Alpha Asher’s room and he was the one hugging me. I withdrew myself from him immediately and lowered my eyes.~Alpha Asher had asked me multiple questions and I didn’t know how to answer them, I didn’t want to remember that scene, neither was I happy to talk to him. Right now, he was causing sadness and making me regret, falling in love with him. “Marsai.” He said softly as he used his finger to turn my head into the direction where his face, then I looked up at him.“I regret loving and believing you, I am tired of getting hurt.” I said as I locked eyes with him.I could tell that Alpha Asher was shocked that I had said that, but I didn’t mind. If he was going
ALPHA ASHER’S POVThe next day, Maya was prepared to leave and continue her journey, so I went to wake Sam up, so he wouldn’t regret her leaving, without seeing him.“I can see that you are ruling the kingdom the way it ought to be and you have proven to be a wise king. I am so proud of you, brother.” She said, with a smile on her face.“Thank you, Maya. Although, I wish you visit here often.” I said, trying my best not to pout, so she wouldn’t take back her honorable words.She only smiled and patted Sam and I on our backs.“Keep up the good work. I have to go now.” She said as she turned round to leave. Maya had left and I was left alone in my room and Sam and Marsai had gone to school.I found it hard to sleep overnight, all because of Marsai’s reaction. Although, I needed sleep, but I had not observed rest as I was too restless to do that. When it was evening, I saw Marsai and Sam coming inside the palace, but I decided not to show myself. I stayed behind the flowers as I watched
MARSAI'S POV Tasha walked in with a smile and hugged me. "When did you get to school?" She asked as she sat on my chair. "Well, I've been here for a while now. I guess you went to meet Adam." I said, giving her a look that expressed the word, "I know." "Of course. I just can't wait for the day we'll have to get married or sort." She said, with a smile on her bright face. "I can feel your excitement." "So, who do you think will be your prom date? Oh! Sam, right?" She said, giving me a teasing look. That was the moment I remembered Sam. Normally, he ought to have been the first person I would have in mind, but I guess I was just depressed. "I totally forgot him. What do I do now?" I said, looking at Tasha like a puppy whose eyes was just so cute. "Did someone already ask you?" Tasha asked as her eyes bulged out and her mouth went agape. "Yes." I admitted, looking down as I was fiddling with my fingers. "Oh my goodness. Who is that?" She asked, excitedly. "Stephen." I said, dr
MARSAI'S POVWe started the eating contest and I was leading and people were cheering me on and I felt joy which I have never felt before. Sam had always been there for me and this made me feel guilty for not remembering him when Stephen asked me to be his prom date. Although, I knew it was because my mind was occupied and I couldn't think clearly, but still, that is seen as an excuse.After the contest, everyone greeted me and I was given a medal for the fastest eater. At least, it was a medal. This was the first time I had received a medal for something and I was really proud of it. ~Sam and I were walking back home, with our tummy filled up."So, how did today end for you?" He asked, with a smile on his face."Very well. I really love this day and I can't thank you enough for what you did." I said, with a smile on my face.I was really touched and this even made me feel more unhappy that I didn't wait for him to ask me to be his prom date."So, you have a prom date, yeah?" He ask
MARSAI'S POVI didn't know why I was having nightmares concerning the experience I had in the forest the last time. It felt as if someone was following me and it made me feel insecure, especially when I think about it."I didn't know you were the one who came to comfort me last night." I said, still shocked that it was him.I guess somewhere deep inside me, I wished that it was Alpha Asher."Of course. I will always be there for you. What do you expect?" He teased as he gave me a funny smile."I don't know, but thanks so much." I thanked him, feeling loved less insecure.What did I expect? I was in the palace with able soldiers, there was no way any enemy could do anything to me. They possibly have to go through Alpha Asher and Sam before anything."I am certain you aren't ready for school. I'll go get ready for school, hopefully you'll have been done before I come back." Sam said, with a cute smile on his face."Alright then." I went back inside and pulled off my clothes, ready to t
MARSAI’S POVThe booming music made everywhere seem interesting and people were laughing and drinking. I could see some people, playing games. So, I was going to miss all these, when we all graduate. I didn’t know that there was so much fun I could have until now.Then Stephen came over to me, when I sat on the stairs, drinking juice.“Hey, Marsai. How do you see this party? Enjoying it?” He asked, with a smile on his face as he held his glass of wine. “Well, it is actually nice. Music, entertainment, dancing, etc. I didn’t expect it to be this fun.” I said, looking at everyone doing what they loved.“So, you are this kind of person that also sees fun in watching others have their fun.” He said as he sat with me on the stairs.“Uhm… I guess. I mean it’s fun to see everywhere lively and then capture the moment.” I said as I cupped my cheeks and my elbow rested on my knees.“I understand this, but you should also be a part of the fun some times.” “Which I have done.” I chuckled, looki
MARSAI’S POVI was shocked to hear it was Tasha who was his crush. I never even suspected that, but why would Sam crush on Tasha, despite the fact that he knows that she is Adam’s girlfriend?“Tasha? A…are you kidding me right now?” I asked, out of curiosity.“Yeah, I am. I do not have a crush.” He said, with a smile as he sat down on a rock, near the river.I chuckled and was relieved that his crush wasn’t Tasha, because that would be disastrous.“You really are a pile of work.” I slapped his back as I joined him to sit on the rock.“One day, hopefully, we’ll get a chance to have a family trip or sort. My brother, I and you. Don’t you think that will be perfect?” He exhaled, looking at the night sky.“Yeah, sure.” I said, dryly.I would have appreciated it if he didn’t mention Alpha Asher in something like that. I was tired of wishing for things with Alpha Asher, because it was just like a fantasy that rarely come true.“Do not worry, things will be fine, okay?” Sam said as he ruffle
MARSAI’S POVMy mouth went agape, watching as she took slow steps towards the beach water. Was she really going to get herself drowned?“No! Tasha, don’t.” I screamed, running towards her.Tears were rolling down my cheeks and then she started laughing hysterically and I wondered if she had gone crazy. Her laughter made me stand frozen in my tracks.“Did you think I was going to attempt suicide, with my best friend here? With all you have tried to do for me? You even did what you would never do, just for me to be happy. I can’t repay you this way, Marsai.” She said as she walked towards me and hugged me tight.I also hugged her tight because I was really scared for her. She had also taken a spot in my heart and I would feel really devastated if she killed herself, especially because of a man who certainly loved her, but was just going through a lot at that moment.“Don’t ever make this joke again, I was really scared.” I said as I hugged her even more tight as I couldn’t bear to welco
MARSAI'S POVI could not believe that we had just failed the task. I didn't know what fate had in store for us, after this.Then I noticed that the ghosts looked as if something was communicating to them, then they looked back at us."You failed the task, but you have been graced. You will leave now and will be transported back to your destination." The first ghost said, then snapped his finger and in the blink of an eye, we were at the Benitoite forest."Thank goodness. We made it!" Alfred raised his hand for a high five, which we did.Then we began to walk around the forest, trying to search for the gem."It's really hard to find the gem. It is so rare and I guess that is the reason most people are after it.""Of course. These gems generates a huge amount of money for those in possession of it. They know very well that people covet it, so it is sold at a high price." Alfred said as he continued to search around the forest."I think we need to take a break. I'm kind of feeling tired.
ALPHA ASHER'S POV"Who are you?" I asked out of curiosity."I am a seer." She replied, with no emotions on her face."A seer? Really?" It was good news as she was a seer, because I would be able to get an answer to the burning questions I had right now. "I have a question to ask, please answer my question for the sake of the time that we have spent together." I pleaded, earnestly and this I did, because of Marsai and because she was a seer that wasn't under me."Alright, go on.""Someone I love was abducted a few days ago and I need to know if she is still alive." I asked, hoping she was still alive.Then her eyes turned white and she went silent for a while. I had to wait for a while until her eyes turned back to normal."I saw that someone you love is still alive, but there is trouble looming around." She said as she looked around."Do you know how we can prevent it?" I asked out of concern and worry."Only your presence can prevent it. I will take my leave, right now." She said a
ALPHA ASHER'S POVThe snakes came in different sizes flying at me and I immediately tried to run but fell in the deep sand.The snakes landed on the sand close to me and I immediately brought myself up to my feet and tried to run. It wasn't easy, running in the deep sand and the snakes were faster since they were in their element.One flew at me and I swatted it away, another flew right at my face but missed me by just an hair's breadth.I ran looking back at my unrelenting pursuers. It was something I couldn't bring myself to believe."It's all an illusion, they're just playing on your mind. You have to get out of here fast before you get caught! " I said to myself to give me the confidence I needed."Surrender! And stay here forever!" The voice of the lady boomed and although I looked in all directions, I couldn't find her."Stop this! I didn't plan for any of this!" I shouted as the wind picked up and it became hard to see.I had to close my eyes as the sand was flying all around
ALPHA ASHER'S POVA few days had passed and it was hard to stay in a room, starved. But the lady and I had gotten close a bit. Although, the normal would never speak to her to that extent, but this place was weird. You would do things you never thought you would ever do."Now it is time for the second phase. You will enter the illusion room and when you fight the illusion, you will be transported to where you wish to go to." The first werewolf announced, looking at each and everyone of us.We were ready to go into the illusion room and I feared for my new friend, because I found out that she usually was scared over things easily, but there was no way I could go on this journey with her.I also hoped that I would be able to conquer whatever the illusion brings to me and I kept reminding myself that anything that happens there is not real. I just needed to wield through. I hid the fear that could have shown in my expression, so that the lady would be encouraged to face it on.“Remember
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI went into the forest and tried to pick up trails, but I didn't find any and I decided that I would start checking different kingdoms and small packs to check for Marsai. Although, that would have been easier if I took a few warriors, but this would be as a punishment to me for the bad I had done to Marsai.As I kept walking, I fell into an underground and I groaned. I didn't expect to fall into anywhere, but then as I looked back up at the hole I had fallen into, it was covered already. What problem had I entered into again, I didn't know, but I was fed up with the different, tiring things that kept happening.I decided to walk where the path led to and it seemed like there was no end and then I noticed someone was somewhere not far from me. All along, I could see a figure with my side eye, but I didn't think too much about it until now that I was frustrated that I had been walking for what seemed like hours now.Then I looked to my side and saw a man, dressed in b
MARSAI’S POVI woke up and my eyes felt heavy. It felt as if I had been asleep for a few days, which I wondered how that could have been possible. My eyes stinged as I tried to open them, and then I knew I had to be patient for them to be able to adjust to the light.After the struggle for over a few minutes to open them, I was finally able to and I saw a lady, looking at me and beaming with smiles.“Who are you?” I asked as I sat up, scared of what she was going to do to me.Although, I wasn’t that scared, because she had a smiley face and she didn’t look like she was going to hurt me. “I am not going to hurt you. Just stay calm.” She said, with a smile and gestured with her hands, like she wants me to calm down.“Then who are you?” I asked as I curled up on one part of the bed.“I am Flora and I am a maid in this pack, who is assigned to serve you and assist with whatever you need.” She introduced herself, with a bright smile.“A maid? As in mine?” I asked, out of surprise.“Yes.”
ALPHA ASHER’S POVWhen I announced that we were going to have a combat, I noticed that Marsai’s expression changed, like she was uncomfortable. She was probably scared that she can’t fight well, but that was going to be the beginning of her training. It would be best if she knew how to fight for herself in case of times that she was alone and someone wanted to hurt her.“Hey bro, I’ll like to see you.” Sam said, staring into my eyes like he had a lot to say.We both went to my quarters and when we got to my room, I sat on the couch and laid back on it.“Alright, I am all ears. What do you have to say?” I said as I crossed my legs on the small table in front of the couch.“Well, I am certain that you would have taken a wild guess. I am here to talk about Marsai and you need to take this, serious.” “Alright, I am ears.”“I understand the fact that you really do not know how to let out your emotions, even when you want to, but I think it should be possible for you to reduce the way you
Marsai’s povAfter the contest, my tummy began to grumble and it made me feel uneasy. Have I eaten too much or I ate something wrong that wasn’t cool with my system. My tummy rumbled again. It seemed like I had already stuffed too much in my tummy and I was ready to visit the powder room, in order to feel better.On the way to my room, I met Alpha Asher and it seemed as If he wanted to say something, which I was curious to hear about.“Well, I want to talk to you about a few things.” He said, looking straight into my eyes.But as much as I wanted to hear what he was about to say, I could not hold it in any longer. I needed to use the toilet as soon as possible and it would be so embarrassing if I started farting.““I’m sorry. Can we talk later? I think I have to visit the powder room.” I said, looking uneasy.Before he could say any other word, I dashed off to my quarters as fast as I could, because I could not bear it any longer.Immediately I got into my room, I went to the toilet
MARSAI’S POV“Alright guys. Till we meet again.” Some people said as we all parted.It was a nice time which we had together and it made me feel depressed that the school where I had most of my lit memories had now come to an end. What was I going to do now that school has finally come to an end? I was not going to see Tasha five times a week anymore, although, it was possible that I would be able to see her, once in a while, which was obviously not enough.“Hey, Marsai.” Tasha called out to me, with tears, welled up in her eyes.She hugged me so tight that I understood why she hugged me that tight. We were no longer high school students and it was no longer certain when we were going to see anymore.“When next should we meet, Tasha?” I asked, trying to comfort myself with the next date on my mind.“I am afraid that we may never see anymore, except when we visit. Adam is moving to another faraway kingdom and my family has agreed that I go with him.” She said, looking sad.My heart bro
