DEMONTES' POVIt had been a week since Freya's attempt to help me recover fully turned out badly. Since that day, I had refused to eat. The blood of my guard I had seen on the wall that day haunted me and I could not bring myself to do anything. I was downcast for the whole week. All Freya's further attempts to get me to eat or even stand up from my bed were futile. She had even gone as far as inviting a few Alpha's that I was in league with to talk to me and raise my hopes but it still didn't work.I didn't want to hear anything. I knew that someone was watching me. Someone wanted me dead, and I didn't know who it was. I woke up with a start that morning, a week after the first incident and from the way my stomach rumbled, I realized I could not continue to live like that. I had to try and eat something.Freya was in bed with me and when she noticed that I was up, she turned to face me."My King," she smiled at me. "You look better this morning."I didn't say a word in reply. I sta
DEMONTES' POVFreya had never been the loud type. Until today.She screamed so loud when I was inside her fully and I knew that all my guards would have heard her.In a matter of minutes, I had climaxed inside her and we lay exhausted on the floor, with our faces to the ceiling."What do you say we have that bath now?" Freya smiled at me."Good idea," I nodded, rising up.I took her hand and together, we rose up from the floor and headed for the bathroom. There, we took turns bathing each other and I struggled to keep my eyes away from her body all through. Freya chuckled, noticing the look on my face and when we were done, we dressed up quickly and headed for the dining.The table was set already when we got there and the scent of the food was entering my nostrils and making me hungrier. I wanted to start eating immediately but Freya was on a call, and we always ate together."Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed all of a sudden.She dropped the phone and when our eyes met again, I noticed
ANTONELLA'S POVI woke up with a start and when I turned to my side, I saw Alpha Xavier sitting on the chair beside me. His eyes were fixed on me and I wondered how I had gotten to his bed.Slowly, I started remembering everything - how he had sent me to the mountains to get him some ginger and how we had quarrelled thereafter. That was the only thing I could remember.As he stared at me, his door opened and a maid walked in with a tray. She dropped it in his front and bowed before turning to leave. Once she had left, Alpha Xavier rose to his feet and I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. We were alone and I was at his mercy.He opened the tray of food and the scent of fresh loaf and cinnamon tea permeated the room. My hungry stomach rumbled at the scent of the food and Xavier drew closer to me with the tray in his hands.He sat down beside me and dropped the tray on the bed."I had one of the maids make you fresh tea," He started. "You need to eat."As hungry as I was, I shook my head
DEMONTES' POVAs soon as everyone had left, Freya moved closer to me. She led me away from the mess on the floor and closer to the dinner table. Once we had gotten there, she wrapped her arms around me in a bear hug. It was a gesture I had not expected from her but I hugged her all the same. I needed it at that point to calm down my nerves because I was tired and confused. Someone had been messing with my head for some time now and I needed to find out who it was."What's happening with you, my King?" Freya started. "You've not been yourself since we got back from our journey. What is going on? You know you can always confide in me."I stared down at her for a few seconds before I disconnected from the hug. Of course I could trust Freya. She had been a source of strength for me for a very long time now. The only problem was that I couldn't keep telling her these things. She would definitely think I was running mad. As I thought about how best I was going to present it to her, she smil
DEMONTES’ POV The anticipation in my eyes was enough to make me go crazy. Freya stared at me as I waited for her to speak. She had been the only one by my side to even help me out.“Speak woman, you’re killing me here!” I snapped once I got tired of waiting.She leaned in closer like she was about to tell me a secret and my stomach churned. What was she going to say?“I think you really are crazy.” She said scrunching her nose in the way that fucking made me blow up.That wasn’t what I needed to hear at the moment.“Have you gone mad?!” I bellowed at her frustration taking over me. “Do you realize that this isn’t easy for me to deal with?”Freya didn’t look a tad bit worried at my anger; it was more like she had expected my outburst. Her expression remained calm for a while before she burst into a fit of laughter.“Oh darling, you should have seen your face.” she giggled.I was glad she was having the time of her life at my expense but that wasn’t the solution to my problems at all.
There was something about life that I had come to hate, and that’s uncertainty. The way Xavier was acting was messing with my mind and I hated it. Why did he have to go from hating my guts and everything in between to acting like I meant to world to him.I was still frozen in shock from when he kissed my forehead. Wasn’t he the one, the same person who sent me to up high the mountain for some minor ingredients? Was he losing his mind or what?That had to be it. If not what audacity did he have to act like he care for someone he had shown how much he hated them from the moment they met?I continued to stare at him, and I watched him stare back at me. Where my eye held shock and confusion, his held worry and regret? He was not a man possible of regretting anything. He had never been and I doubt he would ever be.“You keep looking like there’s something wrong with you. Do I need to call back the doctor?” he asked worry laced in his voice which pulled me out of the shocked state I was in.
SALVADOR’S POVWhat game was I playing?I’d asked myself that a few number of times already and I couldn’t come up with an answer.I knew I messed up big time. It was evident from the glare she had been throwing my way since she woke up.I had not only acted like a jealous boyfriend but I punished her just because I saw something I didn’t like. I didn’t blame her for being mad at me though, I couldn’t. Not when the one hurt was her.She had every right to be mad.I should have handled things better. But instead like the asshole I was, I just had to make things worse. I used to pride myself in being able to control my emotions for when I had to use them but with her around, every ounce of control left my body.Especially when I had to see Hermes kiss her. That fucker knew she was off limits but he went after her anyways and like the idiot I was, I pushed her right into his arms.I wanted to smack my head so hard. Maybe that would put some sense back into it.I didn’t know why I was bei
HERMES POVI stood at a corner, waiting patiently for an opening before making my move into the Council man’s manor. Once I noticed one of his guards approaching just like I knew he would. I got ready with the chloroform in my hand that I had soaked a towel with and waited until he was close enough for me to grab him.I knew this man, and not just because I had followed him for some time but because we were friends. I hated that I had to do this to him but it was the only way for me to get my hands any information that had to do with Alpha Eric.The old man wasn’t just a pervert who obviously needed help, but he also had his eyes pried on young girls.“I’m sorry I had to do this to you buddy but this had to be done.” I murmured as I hauled his body with me into the corner I was hiding in. He flared his hands in an attempt to escape but I held a strong grip so that he couldn’t.From the way that he panicked and reacted upon hearing my voice, I knew he hadn’t recognised me. Maybe I shou
