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.
“Bastard.”“Wolf-less girl.”“Rejected buffoon.”I tried to keep a poker face as I felt papers and garbage being tossed at me.At least no one brought spoiled milk to school today to throw at me because I hated the smell and it was quite hard to take the smell entirely out of my clothes when I didn’t have soap.The bell rang, signaling the end of school. I headed out to start trekking home before the seniors were out, because it was the rainy season and they would splash dirty water all over my clothes while they passed with their flashy cars.I was the most hated person in this pack. None of my parents were around, so I was stuck in the palace with the Alpha where he hit and abused me whenever he felt like it. The main reason I was hated was that I didn’t have a wolf or a mate.There were rumors that the reason was that I was a bastard, and my wicked father, who was a mafia boss, cheated on his wife with my mother, who was a human and I was born. He died and left me in the pack, whic
Alpha Asher’s POVI watched as the fire I set on the rogue in front of me crisped. I felt contentment course through my veins as he screamed and begged for mercy, his soul slowly moving out of his body. This was what I did to every rogue that comes into my pack and proceeds to create havoc amongst my people.I raised my head to look at the Epsilon’s of my pack that I brought to witness this. There was sheer disapproval on their faces over what happened. They were always trying to be positive—saying things like there are other ways to punish someone other than killing them, but I greatly disagree.My father, even though he was a shitty man, had taught me a lot of things to this day on how to become a good Alpha. One of the things he said that stuck to me was how every person that starts mischief in the pack will turn out to be like a cancer eventually, as time goes on.The only reasonable thing to do was eliminate them and then, no one would want to be the second scapegoat. It was why
Marsai’s POVI watched the clock as it struck twelve. It was time. I looked down at the dress in my hands, and my heart shattered. I wished I had someone that would shield me away from all of this. My father was not a good person. He was the leader of the mafia in the pack that terrorized the Crest Moon pack’s citizens.Alpha Alex had tried multiple times to drive him and his people away, but he was stuck. It was after his death that I was discovered. Everyone hated me because of his actions and when they found out that I didn’t have a wolf, all hell broke loose.I was taken to the Alpha’s palace as a servant to be the punching bag for him and his family.“Marsai, don’t tell me you haven’t gotten ready.” I heard Blair’s voice say at the other side of the door to my room.My heart rate increased. If she came in to find me like this, then I would be lucky to escape with just a few bruises.“I… I am almost done. Just doing the last touches.” I wiped my face, then stood up to my feet.I q
Alpha Asher’s POV“This city is big,” Rafael exclaimed as we came down off the jet and headed into the airport.This was the second time I was coming to an event in this town. The first time I was here was several years back when my father was the Alpha. He had come for an Alpha’s only event then, but it wasn’t an auction.It had something to do with a werewolf ring that they were about to auction, and my father bid the highest. Up till this day, I didn’t understand why he did that because we were lycans. We didn’t need it. I didn’t know where he kept it or what he did with it.“You are saying that like you aren’t coming from a bigger city,” I passed him a look, and he rolled his eyes.“Whatever.”We headed into the airport and we were greeted by the pack’s theta.“Welcome to the Crest Moon pack, Alpha Asher. We are pleased to see you here,” he bowed excessively.I gave him a quick nod, “Thank you.”He greeted Rafael too. Some of the airport staff started wheeling out our luggage. The
Marsai's POV The rumbling of my stomach troubled me to the extent that I thought I may die soon. My heart was in my mouth as I dashed off, before the dinner was over. Luckily for me, no eyes were on me. I didn't know what came over me but I knew it was a good thing. This may land me into trouble as I just dared Alpha Asher. The Alpha everyone is afraid of. My body still tingles whenever I remember his blood dropping into my mouth. I never wanted this type of life and I will do anything to change it. I could feel that Alpha Asher tried mind-linking me but I keep breaking off the mind-link with all my might. It used all my energy but that was what I had to do to avoid any communication with him. I was part of his pack now but I am not ready to yield to his biddings. I could feel him forcing his head inside my mind but I pushed him out whenever he tried. "Damn it. Can't he just forget about me?" I murmured under my breath as I kept running with all my might. I ran as fast as I co
Marsai's POV I twisted my body on the bed countless times as my eyes opened slowly. It was as if a heavy load had been relieved from my head.Stretching my arms out with my eyes wide open, the rays from the sun struck my face and I trembled.The scent of the house hit my nostrils and I could inhale a tiny bit of dust. Roaming my eyes around the place, I noticed something strange."How did I find myself here?" I asked no one in particular. The surroundings of the house looked deserted and the house was looking strange with its tiny windows.I tried recalling things but I could not. The last thing I was able to remember was a wolf staring at me.I jolted immediately from the bed and checked every part of my body looking for scars and deep cuts but I couldn't find any. I was very sure that I got an injury somewhere. How did it miraculously disappear?"You are awake," a thick voice called out and I took some steps backwards. A tall looking man was standing in front of me holding a tray."
Alpha Asher’s POVI walked out onto the terrace. This was one of the few places I felt like staying to clear my mind of some stupid thoughts. At this rate, I could kill someone if I'm not careful.I was alone and away from the prying eyes and curious ears of servants and spies. It was then it pricked me that not following my warriors was a foolish idea.It will be a lot easier to trace her since she drank my blood. I stormed out of where I was and barged into my room in the palace. I put on my battle clothes as if I was actually going for a battle.My royal apparel was hung in the wardrobe in my room. Anyone who sees me will think I was bringing war to the rogues or to the rival pack. No one's mind will go to the fact that I am actually going to get a girl.A girl I bought and ran away for reasons best known to her. She owes me so many explanations. Ranging from the reason she ran away to why she kept breaking off the mind link.I gritted my teeth when I remembered that and jumped int

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
