MARSAI'S POV"Don't think about it, okay?" Sam tried to get my mind off the current issue."I'll try." I said, in a low tone and with a sad expression."The attacker is dead, so do not think about it. Also, do not let my brother know about this." He said, as he kicked stones around.~We got to the palace and Alpha Asher walked towards us. My heart jumped up a little as I saw him, walking towards us majestically and looking really cool. “You both look tired. They overworked you at school, today?” He asked out of curiosity.We didn't really respond to him like we used to. It was hard to get rid of thought that someone wanted you dead and you didn't know who it was. The worst is if the person was just a minion or sort, it means the main person would still be after me.Sam had left and I wanted to follow him, but Alpha Asher held me back. His cold hands held my wrist and surprisingly, I loved the feel of his hands on my wrist. Things I didn't know I would ever find sweet or attractive
MARSAI'S POVWe headed off to our respective class when we got inside the school. When I entered the class, Tasha came over to meet me."Hey, Marsai." She said, with a slight smile on her face."Hi Tasha. You don't look too good, what's wrong? " I asked, looking concerned."Well, it's because I have something to say." She said as she sat on my table."What's that?" I asked out of curiosity."It's about Adam. He has been moody ever since he told us the truth and you were present. He doesn't know how the truth affected you." She said, looking unhappy."I don't really understand you. How is he moody about this?" I asked, looking baffled."Well, he feels that you could start thinking differently about him. Probably that you could feel you can't trust him." She said as she fiddled with her fingers."No. It's fine. Although, I felt sad that someone was targeting me or something, but I have gotten over that. Let's just focus on finishing off the Bull Brothers." I said, with an assuring smi
ALPHA ASHER'S POV"Uhm, brother. I..I came to see you. Can't I come to see you anymore? Why do you have to ask?" He asked as he sat down."Well, I didn't mean it that way, but it just feels weird right now." I said as I dropped my sword, then pulled off my clothes."I think you are the one that's weird. You don't look too good at the moment." Sam said, rubbing his chin with his index finger and thumb"Well, does it show that much?" I asked as I let out a heavy sigh."Of course." He said, impatiently."Well, I agree to that, but you are also acting weird." I said, looking at him suspiciously."How am I acting weird? Seems like brother is suspecting lil bro. That makes me wonder why exactly happened to you." He said, fixing his gaze on me."Well, you win. Anyway, something happened at the borders." I informed him, then heaved another sigh."What was that?" He asked out of curiosity, bulging his eyes."There was silver mixed in the river near the borders today." I revealed, looking tired
MARSAI'S POV"Marsai, Marsai." I could hear them calling me, but their voice was low. It seemed like my ears was dim already.I opened my eyes and it was blurry, but then Sam and Adam dragged me away from the. Bull Brothers who were about smashing me with their feet."I told you that you can't do this." Sam shouted, looking annoyed."I was unprepared!" I shouted back in anger."Guys, this is not the best time for this." Tasha said, loud and clear.I scoffed, then ran towards the Bull Brothers again and distracted them as they were about charging towards us all. "No!" I heard Sam shout.I didn't want to back down just like that. I also wanted to be useful and play a vital role in this, which no one would stop me from doing, not even the Bull Brothers. The Bull Brothers had been distracted and I literally had nothing else on my mind than to keep running until the guys come up with a perfect plan to fight them, before Tasha would kill them with a silver knife.I was already getting tire
MARSAI'S POVMy heart skipped a beat when he asked if I was part of the plan. I became a coward and my lips were trembling, my voice was gone already as fear had taken over."No. She wasn't. I only started telling her about it after it was stolen." Sam said, trying to act macho."Follow me." Alpha Asher ordered Sam as he left.Sam nodded at me to let me know that it's fine. I went back to my quarters and blamed myself for being a coward. How could I be a coward in the presence of Alpha Asher? Now, I do not know what he would do to Sam, but I hoped that he would be fine.Now that the silver knife was stolen, it seems like we were all in doom again. The next day, I prepared for school, hoping that Sam would have been outside my door, but he wasn't. I went to his quarters and couldn't find him there."Could he be in Alpha Asher's quarters?" I muttered under my breath.Then I summoned up the courage and went to knock on Alpha Asher's door."What are you doing here?" I heard him speak, in
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI sat on my bed, watching Sam in anger. I didn't know what I could do at that moment. He was greatly annoying me, but he was still my brother, and he did what he did out of goodwill and ignorance.“Brother, what do we do now? I have been inside here, as my punishment, for a few days now. Marsai would be worried.” He said, slamming his hand on his face.“In this situation, you still care about Marsai? Uhn?” I barked at him, in anger.“Yeah. I have to worry about her and Carr for her, since you are not so good at doing that. I won't want her to fall into depression.” Sam said, avoiding eye contact with me.He was right, that was actually a nice thing to do, since I was used to carrying the burden of the Kingdom's affairs on my shoulders.“I would rather not hear a word from you, until I have thought of an idea.” I warned, giving a stern expression.Then I heard a knock on my door.“Come in.” I ordered, without facing that direction.“Alpha, the witch is here. Would you
ALPHA ASHER'S POVMy heart skipped a beat as the healer shook his head sadly. The thought of losing Marsai could make me go crazy and I didn't want to ever welcome that thought, neither do I want there to be a chance of it happening."She seems to be stable, but she fell into coma. Unfortunately, it is not certain if she would ever wake up. This coma she fell into can be equivalent to death. It only raises the hope of the patient's loved ones and dashes it after a while." The healer explained, then heaved a sigh.Tasha passed out as she heard the healer's words and she was taken away to revive her and send her home. I looked at Sam and saw how devastated he was, I could see he was angry, but he surprised me by hugging me and crying even more."Why don't you cry? You are also making my heart bleed. I'm certain that you feel really heartbroken as I know how you feel about her. Brother, let's hope she would wake up and we won't be too unlucky for her not to wake up." Sam encouraged me as
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI decided to calm down to watch others take the role. I have never been able to watch others take a role like this, because they end up dead or lose something important. "Alright then. Be careful." I warned, looking stern.Tasha ran as fast as she could and started sobbing when she got to his presence."Adam. Don't do this please. I know you are in there. Please listen to me." She sobbed, as she knelt down.I slammed my hand on my face as I wondered what stupid move she had just made. "Who the hell are you to try to wake him up? Looks like I'll have to eliminate you first." The creature said, in a raspy voice."No, please don't do that. Adam!" She screamed out, then hugged him.Sam and I gasped as she did that. She had taken a risk of being killed and I held my sword but Sam stopped me and I looked up to see the creature battling with keeping calm. It was already working. The creature was screaming loudly and it had an eerie sound. "Tasha. What's wrong with me?"
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
