Chapter 60 - A Hired Gigolo?
Antheia’s POV
As the battle ended and I am now next, I saw Raven stood up from his chair, Anna glanced at me then she and her father stood up as well and talked briefly with Raven before he left, leaving the two in the table, I expected the Anna would come down the stage already to prepare for our fight for we are already next yet no, she went back on her chair and drank her red wine after another glance at me which she quickly took away and focused on something else.
I frowned in puzzlement as to why her rude and cocky behavior towards me was not evident to her anymore. I watched Raven come down from the stage and walk straight towards me, he is like Moses parting the red sea as the crowd blocking his way slowly part ways to give him the path. Right, who would not be scared of that deadly look he always wear whenev
Chapter 61 - Torn Crown, Crushed PrideAntheia’s POV“Just dealing with some business, and not something like that.”“What business?”“Look, let’s try to put it this way, if they try to cross me and hurt you, they will lose a huge amount that will really affect their kingdom, okay? I have a lot of connections who can help me even though the Grodons are Royals. Got it?”I narrowed my eyes because I was still not convinced. I do not know where my confidence in interacting with him is coming from but I guess I am my attitude and my wolf’s have been merging lately, as if I am slowly slowly coming out of my shell, of my dark past and now starting to explore and face the world.
Chapter 62 - Red LaurelAntheia’s POVThe deafening silence on our ride back home was too much to bear that I have to pretend that I was asleep for the whole trip though I know that he could probably sense my restless heartbeat signifying that I am not really asleep.And I do not know what to tell him to start a conversation either, and it is not that I was the one who was like a volcano that instantly erupted out of nowhere, I was just asking, was it my fault that he is hiding a lot of things? I remained pressed against the car window with my eyes closed in an attempt to make him believe that I was trying to sleep, but I guess I would never be successful in fooling him.“I will be out later and perhaps return tomorrow night.”My eyes s
Chapter 63 - My Beautiful GoddessAntheia’s POVI placed a tiny flower crown I made for my little kitty, just like her name, I picked some small daisies in the forest when I went out for a walk since I got really bored. Glancing at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, it is already 10 AM and perhaps tonight will be his arrival, I am not sure, but that was what Lea heard from her mate. I kind of asked her if her mate knows where he had gone, but she said that her man does not know. Beta Lufin is not around since yesterday as well and I do not have the guts to go around asking every pack member of Kingston pack about the Alpha’s whereabouts, they might think that I, the Alpha’s mate, has even no idea about where my mate was going and been doing, it would look like I do not care about him and the pack, and they might see me stupid and clueless, and not fit to be their Alpha
Chapter 64 - Go Make A BabyAntheia’s POVI woke up and found no one beside me on the bed anymore, Raven is nowhere in the room. He was up early perhaps.I moved out of the bed and went to the bathroom to do my morning routines, brushing my teeth before going under the shower, slightly shrieking at the sudden splash of cold water hitting my bare skin.Drying my hair and tying it in a fishtail braid, I walked out of the walk in closet and picked up Daisy who just woke up in her bed as well. With her, I descended the stairs and went straight to the dining area where I found Raven seated at the end with a newspaper in his hands instead of his usual fiction story books. If I did not know better, I could have mistaken him as Crowden.“So, you have
Chapter 65 - The Alpha’s AbsenceAntheia’s POVWhile I was strolling outside the pack house, just around the yard and not daring to go beyond the forest because the pack warriors around might tell it to Raven and he will scold me again, I ended up getting to the helpers’ quarters just beside the pack warriors quarters. Upon entering the quarters, the people in the living room immediately scrambled in front of me to greet me and ask what they could do to help me.“Luna!” they said and bowed their head tilting it a bit to the side to show respect and submission.An older woman who is probably around her mid forties stepped forward and presented herself.“I am Wendy, the head of this quarter Luna, how may we help you?” sh
Chapter 66 - Under The Unknown Royal BloodsAntheia’s POVI stepped into my yellow floral dress that flowed down to just above my ankle and sat in front of the mirror to blow dry my hair before putting it in a french braid. I can never go wrong with braids, it is the most convenient style to tie my hair tightly without worrying of getting it loose anytime and losing my hair into a wild mess. Ponytail is good too but it only holds the hair in a single strap, once you lose your elastic band or the tightness of it, your hair could easily get messy. At least for braids, your hair is tightly secured in multiple knots.Today is my first day of work, though I am not really sure how much I would be getting paid by this or if I would be getting paid at all, however, thinking that everyone is working so hard to protect the pack and serve it, I gues
Chapter 67 – I Am No PrincessAntheia’s POVThe town was busy as we pass by. There are men pushing carts, lifting several boxes, children running around, and women trying to chase them down and scold at them. I saw a couple at the side road with a baby on the woman’s arm, and they are both smiling at the little child. And the thought came in my head again, reminding me of what Raven said before he left.Once he comes back, will I be ready then?The answer to that is very evident, the fact that I have to question my self’s preparedness is an obvious sign that I am not.I am not sure if I should be glad or not, that Raven is currently away right now so I could have time to think about it. Sure, he is not forcing me nor pressuring me
Chapter 68 - Symbolized By This RingAntheia’s POVI helped in cleaning the bookshelves that are not being used at the moment. At this time of the day, there are already people who are coming in and out of the library building, doing their tasks, borrowing books, and staying inside to have a more peaceful environment to study in. After meeting Tanya’s daughter Timmy, I also met the other workers here in the library and learned their names. And that meet and greet and a bit of chit chat lasted for like two hours or so because by the time that we had actually started to get to work then it was already past 11 AM, and in the next hour we will have our lunch break again.As I do my work I somehow always catch where Yael is, still looming around, though trying to blend in with the other clients of this library, his bulky feature and rough appe
