Alpha Asher’s POV When I brought her to my room, I felt a sense of happiness and euphoria wash over me. I was shocked at this realization and immediately felt a bond with her. Although she had never liked me, she had a bad day and we both needed each other at that moment.I laid next to her and slept slept off even though I was supposed to be fucking her. I had struggled with insomnia for a while and for the first time in my life, I was feeling sleepy and I couldn’t deny how Marsai was the reason I was feeling that way. The next day…Asher paced around his bedroom while Marsai was still asleep. Since the moment he discovered the peace he felt when Marsai was by his side, he was having second thoughts and decided to ignore Polyphemus' commandment. He had Marsai's things be brought to the main quarters and a special room was prepared for her. Marsai wondered why Asher had brought her back to the main quarters, she felt it was due to yesterday's calm behavior. Asher went outside to c
There were some warriors around the border, they moved back as the strange being coming from nowhere in a whirl of water, and it began to take shape.They looked more closely with their sharp eyes and saw that the being had scales like a mermaid's and the skin color was pale green. They wondered what kind of being it was. It looked human, except for the previous descriptions that differentiated it from a human.It was female, and her mouth was filled with many tiny black teeth with a tiny forked tongue. They had never seen this creature before and didn't know what to do.“You! Go and call the attention of our King,” one of the lead warriors yelled. ~Water was slashed on the guards face, and he woke up in a panicked state. “What strange being?” Asher asked him immediately, not bothering to wait for him to regain his mind’s consciousness because he knew if what he suspected was true, he didn’t have much time to waste. “Yes, my lord. We don't know what it is, but you have to come, my
Alpha Asher's POVI growled out in pain and held onto Sam’s hands. “Is there anything we can do to save him?” I asked her. “Yes, let's hurry to the palace. He doesn't have much time,” the sorceress urged.We got to the palace and then the healer came, checked his pulse and found out he was still alive. “I'll need everyone to go out while I take care of him for now,” the healer urged.I went out of the room with the sorceress and let out a sigh of relief as I could see that there was still hope for Sam. “Where is Marsai?”“She is in her quarters, my king.”I went over to see Marsai in her room and saw her shivering out of shock. She had probably never expected Polyphemus to be this scary.I moved closer to her on the bed and sat beside her, then I brought her head closer to my shoulder and I held her cold hands.“It's alright, you are fine now.”I hugged her, so she could feel better in any way, as I had begun to care about her. I could feel her pain as she began to sob, and her te
Marsai’s POVWe stopped in the middle of nowhere and were panting hard. It seemed like we were still far from any other kingdom. I looked at Sam, he looked a bit pale, he needed to rest.I walked over to him and told him to sit under a big tree, then I brought him fruits to eat so he could regain his strength. I wanted to see him looking better before I leave. If I continued to stay, Polyphemus was going to do more and many lives would be endangered. Sam had tried for me in his own way even when his plans for me kept failing as this one would. But his intentions were good enough for me to care."Uhm... Sam, rest well. I want to get us some squirrels , rocks, and good branches. We would get hungry soon.""It's alright, I'll go with you. It would be easier that way.""No, look at you. You look pale, you need to get some rest. Those fruits I gave you will replenish your energy," I insisted."Alright, do not take long. My brother could be searching for us now.""I'll be back soon," I ass
Alpha Asher's POVI growled out in anger and pain as I watched Marsai taken by Polyphemus. I fell to my knees, weakened and felt defeated. My warriors watched how Marsai disappeared. They all bowed down in front of me, telling me they deserve death.I stood up and rode my horse back to the palace, then called for the sorceress. A few minutes later, the sorceress came in.“How do I meet with Polyphemus?”“That is unknown, my king,” the sorceress answered.“So, what do I do now? What do I do now!” I shouted.“My king, you both are now worlds apart.” the sorceress said.“There has to be something we can do, there has to be a way.”“For now, there is no way except he releases her on his own free will.”“Why is it Marsai she wants in everything I have!” I bellowed, feeling frustrated.“Because there is something special about her,” she said. “She must have something odd which made her unique. It is the only reasonable reason why she will take her.”“So, now he thinks he is granting her a wi
Dark MoonMarsai’s POVI wondered why Polyphemus went inside the cave. Did I annoy her? As I was about to go into the cave to check what was going on, and the Polyphemus was already coming outside. I moved backward as she came closer. She had already dropped the fruits that were with him.Then she signaled for me to follow her. She was heading towards the sea and when we got there, she made the sea calm and able to reflect whoever looks into it.“Look into the water, what do you see?” She asked, with a poker expression.“Myself,” I replied, looking baffled and trying to understand what she was up to.“Can't you see how pretty you are?” She asked with a smile on his face.“I can.” I replied. “Good, never call yourself ugly again,” she said, with an expression that spells accomplished.And then she turned back to the cave, I followed her and thought of what to say while we were going back to the cave.“When you are done sightseeing, you can leave,” Polyphemus said, with her big and maj
Marsai’s POVIt was the next day and I could see preparations were being made for today's event. I was getting anxious and clueless about what to do. There was no way I could escape as I was inside a cage.I looked around, I could see they were going to prepare a feast too, then one of the warriors opened the cage and dropped food for each of us, then he closed the door back.I watched as the other captives in my cage ate like hungry dogs and were munching on their food. They were barely taking time to chew their food well.“I'll advise you eat because after this, there'll be no food for today again and if after thirty minutes, you're not done with the food, it would be taken away from you.” The confident captive explained, with food filled in her mouth.I took my food up and began to eat, it tasted nice but looked too small to enjoy it. I devoured the food as fast as I could, and then I slept, minutes after. I woke up an hour later and noticed our cage had been moved to the far end of
Alpha Asher's POVThe next day, Sam and I gathered a few warriors and mounted on our horses, preparing to search for Marsai in the forest.“Remember, this is the chance to show me how much of a warrior you are,” I told him with a smile.Sam smiled back, and then we started moving with our horses at a fast pace. I started tracking her with my blood, which is still in her.“How far is she?” Sam asked, with beads of sweat on his forehead.“Still very far, she went far away. Let’s move!”We got to where I had met Sam the other day and found tracks that show she was dragged. The feeling that she wasn't too far became stronger, and I signalled to the others to ride at my pace.About thirty minutes later, I had gotten to a kingdom, I felt her presence strongly, and I rode into that kingdom and observed they are having some sort of tradition, and then I spotted Marsai.A warrior stood before her, it seemed like they wanted her to fight with him. That's like making her bow at death's feet. The
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
