ALPHA ASHER’S POVMy sleeping issues was back and I had not slept since yesterday. It was morning and I was feeling cranky. Since the time I fell for Marsai, using my submissives was something that I didn’t take a liking to, anymore. And even when Marsai didn’t know my true feelings, it doesn’t mean I can go back to those submissives. I knew I needed Marsai and her love, but to keep her safe, I had to keep acting distant and unbothered.“Arghhh!” I shouted in anger as I was trying to release my pain.My beta rushed in, looking worried.“Alpha, anything wrong?” He asked as he held his sword firmly.“There is nothing wrong. You can go back to your post.” I said, without looking at him.“Alright, Alpha.” He left, reluctantly.A minute later, he came in again.“What is it this time? Why are you disrupting my peace?” I asked, feeling frustrated.“Actually, Marsai is here to see you. Should I call her in?” He asked, looking like he really had no clue on what to do.Well, I couldn’t blame h
MARSAI’S POV“Uhm… Did I say I knew?” Sam asked, with his eyes, bulged out and he began to scratch his hair.“Of course, you did. And I am certain that most students don’t know much about the forests they were sent to.” I said, giving him a suspicious look.“Alright, alright. It was my brother and he only mentioned it while I was talking about your journey.” “Wow, and he didn’t care to take a deep look at me to see if I am really okay?” I scoffed, with my arms, folded.“Well, do not think much about whatever my brother does. Just forget about it and smile like you always do.” Sam tried to make me feel better, which wasn’t working.“I wish I never met your brother. He is so annoying and I hate it that I fell in love with someone as ruthless as that.” I screamed out, not minding if he could have been walking around and heard me.I was really pained and I wished, deep in my heart, for a man who would love me and make me feel on top of the world. Sam hugged me and patted me lightly.“I u
Chapter 126MARSAI’S POVI shrugged it off and then followed her to her seat.“I am so sorry to say this, but I have to speak my mind out and I feel it is weird that you said hi to me. What prompted that?” I asked out of curiosity.“Oh, you are so funny.” Hilda chuckled, using her right hand to cover her mouth as she chuckled.“What is so funny about that?” I asked, wondering what exactly I said that made her laugh.“Well, you actually cared to ask me if I was fine the other day, so I decided to say hi to you, today.” Hilda said as she sat on her chair.“I see. I hope you are much better now?” I asked, trying to cover up the shame I felt for asking a dumb question.“Yes. I am much better, thank you.” ~When it was break, I went to Sam’s class to see Adam to hit him up with the updates from our class, in case he wondered why Tasha had not come to see him or sort.“Hey Adam. How are you doing?” I asked, with a smile.“I am good. Surprising to see that you are here to see me. What about
MARSAI’S POVI knew that this was a risk I had taken. To leave the kingdom without Alpha Asher’s permission, and to a place which in there, was my possible death. Sam had also not taken lightly, any disappearance of mine without informing him. I was getting nearer to Barter’s kingdom and I could already feel the scary atmosphere. Fear gripped me as it was in the night. Fortunately, I saw a hut and I went inside to stay the night. There were webs in the hut and I had to remove them and I hoped there would be no big spiders to disturb me.The next day, I hiked the mountains and went through a thick bush, before I got to the Barter Forest. As I entered their borders, I was immediately taken by their people and I allowed them drag me, because even if I were to sneak in, I wouldn’t know where exactly Tasha was. They dragged me to their Alpha where he was seated on a high chair.“Alpha, she was found within at our border’s entrance.” One of the guards said as he bowed his head.“Who are yo

MARSAI’S POVI felt so happy when I saw Alpha Asher. He looked so cool the way he growled at everyone, but I hoped that he would be able to fight against them as I was certain they had more warriors and Alpha Asher was without a single warrior.“Oh, it is you, Alpha Asher. We didn’t know that they were yours. We are so sorry for taking them as captives.” Their Alpha said, lowering his eyes and bowing his head a bit.“Release them now.” Alpha Asher ordered, still with his stern look.The Alpha ordered his warriors to release us and I was glad that I wasn’t going to die, but I dreaded something. Alpha Asher looked mad, what was he going to do to me for leaving without his permission and worst still, I got into trouble.After we were released, Tasha and I followed Alpha Asher as we walked back to our kingdom and when we got to our kingdom, Alpha Asher called his beta with his mind and then he escorted Tasha back home, then Alpha Asher turned to me.“How dare you leave this kingdom withou
ALPHA ASHER’S POVI knew that there was no way Marsai would be able to break free from those chains, because she wasn’t as powerful as that.“What could have happened? You chained her down?” Sam exclaimed as he noticed the chains there.“Do not try to criticize me. Before she does something that would cost her life, it is better to tame her now.” I said, and Sam sighed.“Let’s track her scent.” I instructed before we lose her scent.Sam and I trailed her and found her in the middle of the forest, licking her wrist like her life depended on it.“Why the heck is she licking her wrist like a dog?” Sam asked, looking baffled.“I do not have an idea. Something feels off.” I said, trying to study her, because she wasn’t the Marsai we knew and Marisa’s time had taught me a lesson to study what kind of creature an enemy was, before attacking.Then we saw a man walking in the forest, probably about to leave the forest and when Marsai saw him, she stood up and dashed towards him, then clawed in
ALPHA ASHER’S POVI accepted the challenge or whatever they would call it. I was ready to get Marsai as I had learned the basic things about what she could do as the tick was in her. But my concern was, with the way the witch had explained things, it seemed like I was going to put in my all to fight her and that could also result to her death as I may mistakenly put in too much and kill her, which I wouldn’t be able to bear, neither would I forgive myself for that.“Alright, I’ll be careful. I will take my leave now, before she hurts anyone else.” I said, then took up my sword.Then I trailed Marsai and fortunately, I saw her in a forest and that was the perfect place to fight her.“Marsai!” I called out to her and she looked back at me.“Right now, I know you might not remember the words I will say now, and that’s perfect.” Then she dashed towards me and circled around me slowly, with her fangs, visible.“I love you and I always will. I just need you to bear with me and I’ll be back
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
