SONIAI sat there in the middle of the bed with so many thoughts on my mind. "How are they starting to suspect that things were forced between us? I didn't know when I started to nod my head slightly as different thoughts rushed through my mind. "What if my father also has the same thought?" I asked myself as I slowly came off the bed and walked to the window side to see what was going on outside.The maids were going about their usual routine and the guards were getting ready for their shifts. I stood there for a while and I didn't notice that my door was open. I was suddenly jolted into reality when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I quickly tilted my head to see who it was and my gaze fell on Eli as she stood there with a worried face. I only heaved a sigh of relief before I started to talk to her."Why did you creep in on me like that? You should not do that at all. You almost let my heart jump out of my chest." I said rapidly and she immediately went into a pleading mode, blinking
ALLAN I arrived at the pack not long after I started the journey. All that I had in mind was to see her in the pack and ask her why she left without waiting for me. I had it in mind to rant to her about why she left in the first place and how she didn't talk to me about it. I was immediately welcomed by a guard who walked me inside the room to show me everywhere and take me directly to my father without wasting time. Not long after, I was standing in front of a door and then he tilted his head to look at me to talk."Young alpha, this is where alpha Dale is. You can knock on the door and go in to meet him. You are welcomed to the pack once again." He said in a low tone and I nodded my head slightly in gesture to what he was saying. I walked closer to the door and knocked on the door, waiting for a response and it came almost immediately. I didn't waste any time walking into the room and I met my father sitting on the edge of his bed. He smiled as soon as his gaze fell on me, forcing
ELARAI stood there in the middle of the room with the broom in my hand. I swept the whole place already and I could not even find a grain of sand. That was one thing I appreciated him for, he was not the kind of alpha that would litter the room. The bedsheet was still in good condition but I just had to change it because the wicked and callous alpha had asked me to change the bedsheets earlier. I heaved a sigh as I walked to the drawer to pick a new set of bedsheets and then walked back to the bed. Just as I pulled out the old bedsheets, the door opened and both Alphas walked in. I wished I was done before they came in but luck wasn't really on my side at all."I don't know but for some reason, I was having the idea that you are going to be here in the room undone with the work. And guess what, I was right. My instinct was right. You are still here trying to change the bedsheet. What have you been doing since? Lazying around?" Alpha Gunther asked in a sharp whisper as if he were tryi
SONIA "What is causing you to cry? What is wrong with you? You are acting all strange lately. I hope all is going well with you." I hated the fact that my mom had to come into the room and catch me crying on the bed. I was not painted by the fact that he was going to bring her back to the pack after she had left but by the fact that he actually lied to my presence about his reason for leaving the pack. I heaved a sigh as I lowered my head trying to immediately clean my eyes so that she would not know the severity of what was going on with me."Come here! What is wrong with her? You are close to her most of the time. You should know what is wrong with her right?" She asked Eli who was standing in front of her, with her head lowered. She raised her head to give me a look and I immediately winked at her. I was sure that she understood what I meant by the wink and then she cleared her throat immediately before she started to talk. I just hoped that she understood the assignment and didn'
ELARA I hissed as I walked away from him. He should leave me alone already. "Can't he see that I didn't want to talk to him?" I asked myself and walked straight into my room and shut the door behind me. He stood there outside, knocking the hell out of the door. "What is it, Allan? You should know that I don't want to have any conversation with you. Stop all you are doing and just go back to where you are coming from." I said on top of my voice and he didn't waste any time before he replied to what I had just said. "I don't know why you are upset with me and why you are refusing to talk to me. But you know you don't have the right to be angry with me or upset with me at all. You should really calm down and hear me out. I came here especially to talk to you. It was only yesterday that I knew that you had left the pack for three months now. No one told me about it. If I was consulted, I would have asked them never to let you leave the pack at all." He said and paused for a moment. I d
ALLAN"You still haven't told me the other reason you came here. What is it about?" My father asked me as soon as Alpha Gunther shut the door behind him. At first, I wanted to stay mute and just act like I had already figured it out but deep inside of me, I wanted to know why he came to the pack. He had always avoided coming to this pack and now even not in the event of special occasions, he came here to spend three whole days. I raised my head slightly after, lowering it for a moment, inhaling deeply before I started to talk."I am just curious. That's all." I paused to study the reaction that he was going to give me but he only gave me a skeptical look and stood up from the bed. He acted like he was completely not interested in whatever I wanted to say. I didn't mind the fact that he acted like that. I cleared my throat slightly in a bid to win back his attention before I tried to talk but words were running away from my head. He only chuckled slightly and then looked at me with dil
ALLAN "I think I have respected you enough and you are not willing to reciprocate the respect. You seemed to have forgotten who you were dealing with. I am sure you have not forgotten who I am and how I was able to take you away from here to my pack. We could go through that process if that is what you actually want. I didn't want it to get to this point but you left me no choice at all." I threatened, chuckling viciously as if I was ready to break down the door. She only kept mute and waited for me to continue what I was saying. I gave the door a fierce look before I walked away from there. As I walked away from there, the only thing on my mind was to go and tell Alpha Kayden to come and open the door himself."Why was I even stressing myself when I knew she was going to follow us back to the pack?" I asked myself and slowly lowered my pace before I arrived at the room. I walked in normally and went to sit down beside my father like I always did. He gave me a skeptical look for a m
ELARAI stood there, trembling in fear as I continued to hear the rapid footsteps approaching me. "Who could it be? Alpha Gunther or Allan?" I asked myself as I stood there shaking. My eyes were wide open and Lia could confirm that I was scared of who was coming. She tried to talk but I placed my hand against her mouth to keep her shut. Suddenly the person stopped right behind me and from the look on her face, it was definitely none of the two people that I thought it was going to be. "Who was it then?" I asked myself as I tilted my head to look back and see who it was."There you are? I have been looking all over for you. The alpha wants to see you in his room right away. He said you should not wait a minute." He said rapidly and walked away from me. Nothing seems to be working in my head. I stood there for a moment, wondering what could have happened. "Perhaps Allan had gone to tell his father what happened between us." I thought for a while before I inhaled deeply, trying to cancel
Elara's POV As I stood there in front of him, I couldn't bring down the pace of my heartbeat. He spoke like he knew what was going on. As if he knew that I knew what was going on with him and the head maid. I didn't know what else to do so I just kept mute and waited for him to talk but he also kept mute. I heaved a sigh as I didn't know what to do. My heart was beating fast and I couldn't do anything about it. I exhaled rapidly and just then, he stood up from the bed and walked towards the center of the room before he talked."You think you can just stay quiet while I talk? What a nerve you have developed. I don't know what it is but I have made up my mind to find out exactly who you are and if I found you wanting, I would not hesitate to kill you. You know some months ago, you suddenly went missing in the pack and then you came back, giving me a flimsy excuse. You didn't even think for once that I might punish you and out of the goodness of my heart, I accepted you back into the pa
Allan's POV My life in this pack had been so dry and full of traumatic experiences since the call off of the wedding. I tried to get on the good side of my parents but they both made me understand that the only time they would ever be happy with me was when I went back to marry Sonia. I had already made up my mind never to marry her, especially after knowing the reason behind them trying to arrange the whole marriage stuff. I tried to make excuses for them but I could not make any excuses for them at all. I wanted them to be themselves while I was myself. "You know what. I don't care if they accept me again or not. I don't care if they talk to me or not forever. They can choose to give birth to another son and fix a marriage for him or her but as for me, I cannot allow myself to be used as a bounty for some selfish goal. How can you call me your son and do all this to me? It's not done that way at all." I said to myself loudly like I was having a real conversation with myself. I hea
Sonia's POV "You know you are a cursed child right? You don't deserve me as your father. You are an illegitimate child. I don't know what it is that you are thinking but from today, I never want you to greet me or do anything that is going to concern me. Since you think that you are old enough to pull this off, you should be old enough to cater to all your needs as of today." His exact words when he found out that I was baking out of the marriage with Allan. He had since not talked to me. I didn't know how best to make him understand that I was not cut out for that kind of marriage. I didn't know what to do so I have since tried to take my mind off everything he said to me. I didn't even know why it all came to my mind this morning and I had to even sit outside my room, lost in thoughts.I suddenly felt a touch on my shoulder and I quickly looked to see who had the effrontery to touch me in such a manner. As I looked up to see who it was, my gaze fell on Eli as she stood there with a
ELARAIt was a sunny day and I could not help but wonder why all of a sudden I found myself in the past. "What really happened?" I asked myself. It was as if the witch gave us that concoction to take, it affected us and took us back in time. I saw myself in the warrior place again and then I had to go through it again. I didn't know how to go about it so I tried to forget it and focus on the pressing issues that were on the ground. I heaved a sigh as my thoughts wandered off to the fact that Levi and Sonia agreed to call off their wedding. "How did this even happen? They were supposed to get better wedded by tomorrow. What is going on with them? I never knew it would get to this point in their marriage." I said to myself. I sat there in the middle of the room as I thought about how the mating ceremony was going to be. "I just hope that I find someone who is going to love me for who I am. Not judge me for any reason and I also hope I get my wolf too." I said to myself as I sat there o
ELARA"I was thinking of that too. I have a lot of things to talk to you about. The past few weeks and perhaps months, have been tedious in terms of events. Many things unfolding and your acting strangely is enough to talk about. But I don't think you are in the right state to talk right now." He talked slowly like he was trying to carefully select his words, or perhaps he was trying to count his words as they left his mouth."I am okay. I need to talk to you about something very very important. It cannot wait. I think I have dragged this for too long and it is starting to affect me, you, and the entire castle." I said, trying to sit up on the bed and he aided me. He arranged the pillow to support my back and I smiled slightly."I think I have an idea about what you are about to talk about. See, I have been having these dreams. Very disturbing and alarming. There were many people there but you weren't there. Your brother, Allan is there and also the daughter of alpha Gunther is there
KING GREGOR "Your majesty. We found your wife." The head of the guards broke the news to me moments after I gave him an order to find her wherever she went. I sat there in the room, facing the window. I reflected on the past few days, weeks, and months. Many things have happened within the past few weeks. Things that I really can't explain and I don't have the explanation of. First, it was the sudden changes that Arianna started to show. She acted so differently and I just had to ignore all of it. Then followed, was her sudden claim of memory loss. I don't know but I seemed to believe her.As if all these weren't enough to mess with my mental health, the dreams started to come up. Unexplainable dreams that could raise my doubt in ten folds. It would have been better if the witch were able to translate the dreams but she was of little or no help at all. Above all, the most surprising thing was my sudden likeness for Arianna. I never liked her before. The only reason I was involved wit
ELARAI opened my eyes suddenly and the first thing I saw was this magnificent creature. It looked like someone that I had seen before. No! I cannot be here. This was not how I planned this to go. I kept trying to make myself believe that I was sleeping and then the voice came at me."Elara! I suppose you know where you are presently. What happened to you? Why were you stirred off what you wanted to go and do? You begged for a chance and you got the chance but what did you choose to do?" I felt a sting in my heart as I recalled the day that I was begging the moon goddess for a second chance. A chance to go and avenge my death and that of my unborn child. "I don't know where to start. Perhaps it was as easy as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be easy to carry out the whole plan I had in mind but it was tougher than I thought. There were a lot of constraints. The person whose body I woke up in had a life of her own and it just mixed up with the whole thing. At so
SONIA"No, you didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, we had just finished what we wanted to iron out. We were just about to step out of the room and come downstairs to join them for breakfast. How are you?" He ended his statement with an awkward question. His facial expression said it all. If only he could take back his words, he would not hesitate. "How had he always perceived Eli?" That was something that I had never asked him. I didn't want to sound awkward so I just kept mute and waited for her to talk. Many thoughts rushed through my mind and just when she wanted to talk, I could not afford her to tell him what happened the previous day, I cleared my throat slightly to talk and then their attention turned towards me."You know you don't have to be so formal right? We could go back to the way that we have been doing. The small plays and everything. Things might not be as you think they are. Right, Allan." I could not deny the fact that it felt extremely awkward saying all that
SONIAI knew for sure that it was Eli who was standing in front of the door. "What could she be looking for? Did the alpha send it to us? Many thoughts rushed through my mind as I looked at the doorknob and also the face of Allan as he also looked at the doorknob. I thought of ignoring the knock but not long after, the knock came on the door again and I had to heave a sigh. "Even if I needed this interruption, it was too quickly. She should have waited for us to finish all this before she came to knock on the door." I thought for a while.I walked towards the door slowly but hastened my steps as the knock came again and stayed frequent. I could not take my mind off what had happened earlier. I didn't know what to do or how to go about it. "Perhaps he might be feeling awkward and timid after the show or perhaps he enjoyed it as much as I did. Whichever way it is or however it is, I am not fazed by anything." I said to myself as I reached for the doorknob and quickly pulled it to see wh
