Marsai’s POVAdam was surprised we caught him and that I slapped him. I never expected him to be such a kind of guy.“You are really heartless.” I said, looking at him scornfully.“I… it’s n…not what you th..think, Marsai.” He stuttered, with sweat rolling down from his forehead.I looked back at Tasha, it seemed she had nothing to say, she just looked heartbroken and dumbfounded, then I walked up to her and held her hands.“Let's go.” I said as I led her away from the scene.Then we went to a more secluded place, and she started crying, my heart felt broken seeing her in tears. It wasn't a pleasant sight. Although, I never knew she loved him this much. Her tears looked sincere, and I could understand how she felt, to see someone you love with someone else.“Is this how you felt when he picked me over you?” She asked, sobbing.“Uhm… I had no justification to feel wronged or heartbroken. I think I just felt disappointed when I thought he liked me, but I was wrong.” I replied, looking s
Marsai’s POVI wanted to run or hide my face, but that was going to be ridiculous, and Alpha Asher could call me back as I couldn't disobey his orders. When she looked up, she saw me, and she looked shocked as she stopped right in her tracks.I was unable to look into her eyes anymore. I was fidgeting because I felt guilty, like I had betrayed her. Then she took her seat and we were served.“Oh! I never knew you had such a big family.” She said, with the fork and knives making clinking sounds.I knew she was trying to know who I was and what I was doing here. But Alpha Asher didn't say a word, he only smiled at her. And I wondered, why is he being so nice to her? And right in my presence, I just hope he doesn't act like he cares about me because I can see I'm just a submissive to him. And the worst was that I could see him stealing glances at her. At some point, his gaze was fixed on me, I was agitated at that moment because Marisa was present. Why can't he stick to one woman? He's su
Marsai’s POVI was bound in shackles that hurt every time I tried to break it. They were too strong for me to break from, I was weak from the torture Marisa had given me just to learn a little about Sam and Marsai and how the palace works. She was so different from the Marisa I knew. Does it mean I'll die here? No one will obviously know that I am lost and dying over here. I wished I had not befriended her. Why am I such a gullible target? The cave was so frightening to stay in alone and weirdly, it doesn't echo one's voice. At night, it was a bit chilly and I couldn't shift to my wolf form to make myself a bit warm.“Help me.” I muttered under my breath as I felt I could faint anytime soon.ALPHA ASHER'S POVI called my beta in, then told him to call Sam to come over to my quarters. I needed someone to talk to about Marsai. My heart was jumping in joy as the thought of Marsai sprang up and could not keep the feelings to myself. Marsai had melted me beyond my control and I found myse
Alpha Asher’s POVSam burst out in laughter when he saw her reaction. It took him a while before he restrained himself from laughing, and then he calmed down and faced Marsai.“My brother is so bad at humor. He actually meant it as a joke.” Then he faced me. “How can one tell such a joke without smiling? You looked so stern, she would have thought you really meant it.” Sam chuckled, looking at the both of us with a funny face.I felt embarrassed again, as I had messed up in the joke I had been practicing all night along. It really wasn't easy, changing personality all of a sudden, for someone. Then I looked at her and was relieved that she was giggling too.In a few minutes time, after they had indirectly made jest of me, we got there. The amusement park was so big that I was certain there was a lot of fun there to keep you intrigued. At least, I had chosen the right place for fun.We got inside and made payments and then Marsai rushed to the merry-go-round, she urged us to rush over.
Alpha Asher’s POV“You have found Marsai?” I asked in surprise and joy.“Yes, young master. They are still in the forest as she is feeble and is asking to rest at every point.” He reported, keeping a straight face.Then I turned to Marisa, who was looking wroth, I scoffed and looked down on her.“I was shocked to know that you and Marsai sleep in the same room at times. She really betrayed me, and she must pay for it.” She said as her voice changed into a raspy tone and the color of her eyes changed.“This should hold you while I am gone.” I ignored her threat and turned around to leave.My beta and I rushed to where Marsai was and when I got there, I saw how pale Marsai was. I felt my heart shatter into pieces. Marsai must have gone through a lot in Marisa's hands. I rushed to her and carried her in my hands and watched as she looked at me weakly. Then we got to my quarters and I laid her on the bed. Shortly, the healer came in and checked her pulse, it was low.“She is fine, althou
Marsai’s POVI fell to my knees as Sam was shot down with her venom. He fell down flat and was groaning in pain as the venom had some painful impact on him. I cried as I ran to him and dragged him from the scene where they were fighting against Marisa.Alpha Asher was torn to see his brother poisoned, but he left him to me and continued fighting against her. I couldn't see any sign of sympathy on Marisa. She was truly a deceitful person, and I couldn't believe my eyes that the Marisa I once knew was just a facade. It hurt me because I was already starting to see her as a friend and was even willing to give up Alpha Asher for her.I am sure her anger increased because she found out other hidden things I didn't tell her about while she was acting as me. If my wish could be granted now, I would wish that she realize her mistake and would turn a new leaf.I tried to calm Sam down as black veins could be seen going around his face. He was actually trying to fight the poison, I knew he was
MARSAI'S POV"We'll be going to Tongass National Forest. So, do well to be punctual on Wednesday." She said as she dropped some books and wrote some things down.Why was it that soon? Just when Sam is down. If he doesn't wake up before Wednesday, I'll have to forfeit this adventure because even at this point, i was not feeling good, knowing that Sam is hurt. Why would I be going on an adventure and smile and laugh when someone who got hurt because of my naivety is unconscious.When it was closing, I told Tasha that I would be going home straight, so as to check on Sam and help with whatever they need to get him better. On my way, I was hoping that Sam would have woken up, only heaven knows how overjoyed I would be. I walked faster and when doubts were coming in on if Sam had not woken up, I slowed my pace down so I won't be too fast to the hour he would wake up.I got home and went to his quarters immediately, but was disappointed that he was still on his bed, lying down unconscious.
MARSAI'S POVThe other three were managing to climb and had almost reached the top when one saw a snake which hissed at him and because he was not expecting and caught off guard, he lost balance and was falling, but he was able to hold on to one of the lower branches. He knew if he started climbing again, he'll certainly not meet with the remaining two, so he jumped down. We all cheered and clapped for him, too.~Then the team for swimming were the next on the list. I was ready to cheer Tasha on, and I was so excited to see how well she would do. They got to the waterside and our sports teacher blew the whistle. They swam inside, and I could see Tasha was the last at that moment. I bit my fingers and stomped my feet, hoping she would get to the end line before them and start swimming back. They got to the end line and Tasha had not gotten there, they were halfway back before Tasha surprised every one of us and won them all.I clapped and jumped up in joy, I was proud that my friend w
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
