“Why were you all marching towards my room?" Lucian asked.Alicia's eyes glistened with tears. She was so scared for Ena and wished she was alright. She shouldn't have tried out the spell in the first place. She should have gone on with Ena to Lucian. She should have accepted her fate. Now, she must have missed out a word and landed herself and Ena in trouble."She wanted to report me to you." Alicia blurted out with her head bowed down.Lucian looked at Alicia with his left brow raised and a puzzled look on his face."She wanted to report you to me?" Lucian asked and Alicia nodded slowly. "Why is that?" He asked again."Shouldn't we go check up on Ena, you both can have this conversation later?" Bryan interjected.Lucian looked at Alicia and wondered why she looked so subdued. He also wondered what Ena wanted to report that made Alicia unable to look up at his face. He was curious but Bryan was right, they had to go and check up on Ena, she was still his make even though his heart be
"She… she caught me in the Library and started a fight. I fought back and Bryan managed to come to the rescue and stop the fight." Alicia replied while avoiding his gaze."She wanted to report to me that you were in the Library?" Lucian asked and Alicia nods. "What were you doing in the Library, if I may ask?" He continued.Alicia exhaled as she quickly racked her brain for quick answers. She had to be careful about what lies she would tell so it wouldn't affect her in the nearest future. All this just because Ena wouldn't let her be. In as much as she was feeling guilty about her, in a way she deserved it."Get your thoughts together, Alicia. I asked a question. What were you doing in the Library?" Lucian asked.Alicia held his gaze constant and opened his mouth. "I… I was just so bored. I needed something to do and had to visit the Library. I was so engrossed in the book I was reading that I didn't know how much time had passed." She said.Lucian smirked. "Now I know the reason you
She kept searching and could find nothing and she broke down in tears. Even if she detested what Ena usually does to her, she hated the fact that she was in this condition because of her. She cursed and cleaned her tears glistened eyes with her hands, she walked back sit down and think of what she could do and who she could meet. She had to call Mia her best friend. Mia could be of help at this point. She shuddered at the thought of what would happen to her if it was found out that she cast a spell. Not only did she cast a spell, but she also did it in the palace and to the Lycan's mate. She had experimented with the Lycan's mate. Ena must have the energy of bad luck because how else would the spell go wrong during her own time?A movement by the door stopped her in her tracks and she stood still listening. The door cracked open and Lucian emerged from behind the door. Alicia gasped as Lucian gave her a wry smile and walked up to her."I knew you would be here." He said and smirked.
Alicia stared long and hard at the bags in her hands, she was standing outside her house, in a corner to hide from anyone who might be passing. She doubted anyone would, it was very late at night and no one would be outside anyways but she decided to just be careful either way. Today was the day she and Lucian had been longing for. The day she would escape from her land. She had prepared and planned for it for a long time, taking her time to strategize well. Alicia swallowed as she walked down the path which led to the spot they both wanted to meet. It was far enough from both of their lands, so it would not be exactly possible for them to be caught. Once Alicia reached where they were supposed to meet, she took a deep breath and waited in the shadows. She didn't want to run like this but she wasn't left with an alternative no matter what her people would never accept her relationship with a werewolf even at the cost of her happiness. She kept waiting in the dark but there was no s
"You, You are not ready to speak let's see how long you can keep your mouth closed. Seize her!" He ordered the guards behind him to take a hold of her. Alicia did not seem in the least surprised, she had witnessed someone a lot of witches get arrested so it was nothing to her. Especially since the head of security was so hard and harsh, he was a completely hot-headed person and was very disciplined. Alicia allowed them to drag her along, her eyes were feeling heavy already. The tears that gathered in her eyes disturbed her love has deceived her, and she slashed her heart, Love was never about Rainbow and happiness it was always a delusion people always land themselves into as it was always about pain and sorrow She choose sorrow and pain herself and she accepted what she was getting punished for "I will never forgive you for this Lucian!" She murmured to herself as she pushed herself to walk. The way the guards pushed her to walk, was as if they had suddenly forgotten she was a lad
Three years later, Alicia sat by her little window as she stared outside, she now lived alone since her life has taken a 360-degree turn nothing was the same after the accident took place years ago everyone abandoned and humiliated her and called her names, and she had to suffer a lot to get a job and afford a decent lifestyle She and her friend shared the house, so the pay was split between the two of them. The whole country had been at war since, and it was against the werewolves. The only difference now was, they had a new alpha who everyone claimed was ruthless. Alicia had never felt so pessimistic and scared in her life, the werewolves were so powerful that the number of witches that had gone missing or were found dead was horrible The werewolves fought with their whole life and passion, and so did the witches but as if the werewolves this time were hell-bent to take over the witches, Her friend barged into the room and she locked the door behind her quickly. They both made
"Well, I am the alpha of the werewolf pack, and we defeated your coven so I have come to take control." He stated lightly like it was no big deal. The blush that had been visible on Alicia's face died down as she stared at him in shock. The former calm, nice, and peaceful guy she had come to know seemed to be very different from the one she was seeing at this point. She never would have thought that he could change so drastically. The man dressed in the classy black attire was nothing but a monster in face of a God he was a typical werewolf heartless and selfish "Oh, so what are you doing in my house?" Alicia asked him as she eyed him. She was no longer feeling the tingles anymore, she just wanted him out of her sight His face and presence, his scent brought back old memories which she did not want to remember, she just don't want to live with the trauma anymore he was a nightmare which she is trying to get over for years. She had come a long way she doesn't want to be thrown back
"Is this how you speak to your mother? You have no simple Courtesy anymore." Her mother said with anger as she stared at her daughter, both shocked and appalled. She was not expecting the treatment which her daughter had given her, but Alicia couldn't care less. She had gone through hell because of this woman, she had failed to protect her like a parent was supposed to do. She understood that she had done something wrong and forbidden, but the way her mother had turned her back on her had hurt her so much. She had been in an extremely dark place, she was living with doubt. If her mother could do such to her, her very own flesh and blood, then she had no idea what she should expect from strangers. "Mom, truth be told you do not care about me or how I am. Why not just say the truth already and tell me the true reason you came? You chased me out of the house and helped Her Majesty to punish me well, even though I was your child. So tell me, what exactly do you deserve from me?" Alicia
She kept searching and could find nothing and she broke down in tears. Even if she detested what Ena usually does to her, she hated the fact that she was in this condition because of her. She cursed and cleaned her tears glistened eyes with her hands, she walked back sit down and think of what she could do and who she could meet. She had to call Mia her best friend.

Ena laughed and funnily shook her head. "I believe we all have some reporting to do then. Watch what happens when I report what I witnessed here to Lucian. A witch reading from the witch's spell book under the pretence that she didn't know about the laws of the palace," Ena said with a victorious and evil smile on her face."You will do no such thing, Ena!" Bryan snarled."Watch me and stop me you can," Ena retorted and the smile on her face widened.Ena felt certain that even if Lucian still had feelings for Alicia, which she knew he did, he would be unable to escape passing judgement on her which would of course be an execution. She hated the fact that Lucian was still not over Alicia. She hated the fact that he couldn't love her even when it was fated for her to be his mate and this was the perfect time to get rid of her.************Bryan knew that if Ena reported Alicia, she would be executed. He didn't understand why Ena loathed Alicia so much. He was only just getting to know
Alicia was so tired, she yawned and took and eyes off the book. She gasped as she found out she had wasted so much time in the Library. Her hands flew to her mouth as her eyes widened in shock, she hadn't even made Lucian's dinner.She looked at the book once more and hugged it with a smile on her face. The book had become her best friend in just one day and she was going to make sure to check up on it each day and tap more knowledge. She had learnt a lot and she felt so refreshed.Alicia could hear footsteps walking towards the direction of the Library, she suddenly felt a wave of energy coarse through her and she held the book even more tighter. She was surprised at herself, she would previously cower and try to hide. She looked at the book once more and felt an unexplainable kind of Joy spreading through her.The door to the Library slowly opened and Ena emerged. Hatred was displayed on her face as she sighted Alicia. She spotted the book in Alicia's hand and ran towards her in fur
"I didn't run over for nothing. She is under my leadership and it was part of the Oath we took at the induction ceremony. To protect our own at all costs, and besides she is also my personal maid. I can't afford for anything to happen to her. Who would cook my favourite meals then? Not you obviously because you can't cook." Lucian repliedEdna rolled her eyes and Alicia could feel the tension building up in the "Whatever!, I have lost my appetite," Ena said and got up from the dining and stood up to leave. Alicia felt uncomfortable about the whole situation but it was amusing to Bryan because the smile never left his face. He seemed to be enjoying the whole drama.Ena took some steps away and when Lucian didn't call her or make as little as a body movement, Ena stomped back to where Louis was seated."Ever since you came back, I know you have some mischief up your sleeves," an infuriated Ena blurted out.**************They were back to the Palace and Alicia picked up her invisible m
~ Lucian ~As Alicia raised her face, I couldn't help but notice anger growing behind her expressionless face. Her voice, though, was loud and clear this time. "You asked me, Lycan!"I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the sudden change in her tone. Her stubbornness didn't go unnoticed. Leaning forward slightly, I allowed myself a small smile. "That's better," I remarked, my tone smug. "I asked Rein to bring you here because there's something you need to understand during your time in the palace."I watched her closely as I continued, enjoying the mix of emotions that flashed across her features. "You were brought here as a maid, and whether by choice or circumstance, it's your duty to respect the head of the werewolves, and all the members of this palace. You owe respect to the Lycan. It's a privilege to stand before me."Pausing for a moment, I let the weight of my words settle in the room. "However," I added, my tone firm, "You should consider yourself lucky today. The Lycan's mood se
“Hey, Alicia. How about we talk later on, eh?” Bryan said. “I got a few things to ask you.” Then he did something even Alicia did not expect, he spanked her on her bum. Alicia turned around surprised and Lucian donned a killing look but kept his calm.Alicia calmly took her leave still puzzled about what had just happened. She could swear she caught a flicker of emotion in Lucian's eyes but what did that matter? She paused and snapped her finger. "Payback time!" She exclaimed. What better way to revenge what he had done to her? She didn't have feelings for him anymore and if he still did, he was going to get the torture of his life because she was going to take him to hell and back. She resolved in her mind to play along with whatever game Bryan was playing. *******Lucian who was still seated at the dining was far away in his thoughts. What just transpired at the dining? Why did she look like she enjoyed the spanking Bryan have her? Why didn't she react? Why didn't she make a fuss?
Chapter 14Alicia stood in the hallway just in front of the kitchen door with a try in her hand. Ena was there too, scowling at her with deep contempt – not like that was new to see – but there was another person there too. He looked a bit familiar to Alicia with the way he styled his hair. Alicia could swear that they had met before but could not quite put her finger on the where and the when. In order not to just stand there and look dumb which would invariably warrant a shout and a few insults from Ena, Alicia curtsied a little to the man and greeted politely.“Hello, Sir.” She had gone for hello and not good morning, afternoon, or night so she does not come off as too formal just in case she had known him before and she was the one whose memory was lagging here. she begun to walk off to the dining when she heard her name come out of the man’s mouth.“Alicia. How are you?”Alicia turned around, confused but decided to go with the flow. “I’m good, and you?”“Come on, Alicia, don’t t
