"How are you feeling, Alisha? Are your feet feeling better now?" Mary asked, smiling as she once again changed the bandage.

A week had already passed, and somehow Mary and Alisha were holding up well together, but Alice hadn't come to disturb them. Alisha was just resting due to her injuries.

Mary was glad that Alisha was slowly returning to her usual self. She was healing—her wounds, her eyes—everything now looked happier than when she found Alisha at that monstrous mansion.

"I'm feeling better, Mother. I think I should start going to college now. It's already been over a week, and I'm missing out on a lot," Alisha said. She no longer felt the pain in her feet.

Since the day she left Alice's house, she had been getting nightmares, but they were slowly changing.

She enjoyed being with the kids and Mary's company. Slowly, things started to feel better. She didn't know how long this feeling would last because she still felt paranoid about what might happen if he came back and did someth

    "Alice, I think you should stay home today. It's been a week since you came home, so many days have passed without me seeing my son. Now that you're here, how about spending some time with me," Daisy softly spoke as she gently stroked Alice's hair while he lay on her lap.She didn't know how to communicate with him. He had been absent for a whole week, immersed in work, and hadn't returned home. She felt restless and tense all week.She reached out to his assistant and handled everything, but it seemed like he was ignoring her or avoiding seeing her face.This was unprecedented; no matter how busy Alice was, he always came home for dinner and breakfast, making it a ritual for them.But since Alisha left, he had changed. He was always a workaholic, but now it seemed intensified, and Daisy couldn't do anything about it.Daisy didn't want to pressure him. Whatever had happened, she felt it was better not to agitate him further, especially considering it was Alice."Mom, I know I have a l

    "Have a wonderful day, sweetheart," Mary whispered, planting a tender kiss on Alisha's forehead before dropping her off at college."Thanks, Mother. I'll be fine," Alisha smiled warmly as she stepped into the bustling campus.A wave of contentment washed over Alisha as she immersed herself in the familiar surroundings of her beloved college. Education had always been her refuge, a sanctuary she cherished, alongside the simple pleasures of eating and sleeping."Hey there," a melodious voice interrupted Alisha's thoughts, drawing her attention.Turning, Alisha's gaze met the sight of a girl with radiant brown hair and a friendly smile, making her way towards her.Perplexed, Alisha squinted slightly, trying to place the girl and recall if they had crossed paths before. The warmth in the stranger's smile suggested a level of familiarity Alisha couldn't quite grasp."Um, sorry, do I know you?" Alisha inquired, her voice tinged with confusion."You might not know me, but I certainly know yo

    Alisha winced as she agreed, unsure why she had even acquiesced. Breaking promises wasn't her style.But when Nishi mentioned it was within the college radius, Alisha rationalized she wasn't truly breaking her word. It fell within the confines of the college, so it shouldn't count as breaking a promise, at least in her mind."Great, let's go," Nishi said, taking Alisha's hand as they strolled out of the college.Alisha's laughter bubbled up, the sensation of having a friend was indescribable. It coursed through her veins, filling her with warmth and joy.She never imagined she'd find someone to study or eat with at college. Her only companions had always been the kids at the orphanage, her mother Mary, and Lucky, her pet dog.How could she resist or deny the happiness she felt from finally having a real friend? It was like something out of a fairytale.In Alisha's life, the adage held true: when you're hungry, you'll take whatever morsel you can find. After years of solitude, having a

    Alisha and Nishi both glanced towards the source of the voice, their expressions confused.Alisha's eyes widened as she gazed at the lady standing there.Her heart began pounding wildly."Why is she here? What's going to happen now?" Numerous questions raced through her mind.Nishi observed Alisha's pale expression and then turned to the lady, feeling equally perplexed."Aunty Daisy," Alisha whispered, feeling terrified for her safety, wondering if Alice would also be with her.Daisy, who had come with Alice for an outing today, had a sudden craving for something sweet when she spotted the café.Although Alice had wanted to accompany her, she insisted on taking a solitary walk.He reluctantly agreed after some initial resistance.As Daisy approached, Alisha's anxiety intensified. She couldn't shake off the fear of encountering Alice, unsure of what his presence might entail.Nishi, sensing Alisha's unease, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, silently offering support."What are

    The loud curse boomed as the waiter approached, spilling a whole cup of hot chocolate on Alisha, drenching her dress.Shocking both Alisha and everyone nearby, the attention swiftly shifted to them.“Can't he see?”“He's going to lose his job now.”“Utterly useless!”The harsh words rippled through the air, as if everyone had been waiting for such an opportunity.Alisha was stunned as the scalding liquid made contact with her skin, leaving it slightly burnt and reddened.She couldn't grasp what had just happened; her reaction was completely numb.Nishi and Daisy both sprang to their feet, grabbing tissue paper to help clean her up.“What have you done?” Daisy glared furiously at the waiter, noticing the painful redness on Alisha's hand.“We need to tend to this,” Nishi insisted, gently cleaning the affected area.“I'm sorry, miss, truly sorry,” the waiter pleaded, fearing the consequences of his mistake and the looming threat of losing his job.He knew he had blundered, and judging by

    Alisha winced as Alice dug his thumbnail into the red, aching wound of her hand."Why are you hissing, sweetheart? Your lips against my palm are doing a lot more than they should," Alice said, looking at Alisha in the mirror and feeling much better after seeing her after a week.Today, he came to fulfil a promise to his mom, spending time with her in the park. As they were enjoying themselves,Daisy had a craving for something sweet, and he offered to fetch it for her, but she insisted on going herself. He agreed, knowing his mother's stubborn nature all too well.However, when Daisy didn't show up after going into the cafe, he grew tense, fearing someone had harmed her. As a Mafia member with many enemies, he never let his mom roam around alone, but Daisy's stubbornness meant he had to relent.To find her, he entered the cafe and witnessed the whole scene of the waiter spilling hot chocolate on his Angel. He was mesmerised by seeing her sitting beside his mom, his heart beating wil

    Alice watched the tears spill from Alisha's eyes, observing how she forced them out, almost as if she were challenging him. It both frustrated and intrigued him that his presence alone couldn't elicit genuine tears, especially after what she had done—leaving him. It felt like she was poking at his ego with her fake tears.He couldn't deny finding her tears somewhat cute, but the way she looked, it was exaggerated.“Sweetheart, that's not how you cry. Let me show you,” Alice's voice dripped with malice as he grabbed Alisha's hair and forcefully slammed her head into the wall, not exerting too much force but enough to leave her with a concussion.“Ahhh!” Alisha cried out in pain, feeling her face scrape against the rough surface of the wall.Alice pressed his body against hers, his aroused state evident as his hands tangled in her hair and pinned one of her hands behind her back. The side of Alisha's head began to bleed from the impact.“See, I told you. If you don't cry, you're going t

    Alisha shot him a sidelong glance, incredulous, as he suggested she could leave.With his chin still resting on her shoulder and his breath sending shivers down her spine.Alice uttered his demand, seemingly unconcerned. "I'm willing to let you go, Angel, but only if you're on your knees, lips in the right place, sucking me, giving me what I want. Maybe then I won't change my mind."His gaze pierced her, as if he could devour her whole, and she knew he could do it without hesitation.He was confident in his abilities, determined to indulge in the pleasure he desired.If Alisha still harboured this desire to leave him, how could he refuse? How could he deny his Angel? He couldn't. So he would do what was necessary.Alisha stared at him, struggling to comprehend his words about sucking and placing her lips in the right spot. The explicit instructions overwhelmed her.Alice smiled, not a genuine one, but rather lopsided and slightly unhinged, making him seem even more unpredictable."Wha

    "Then what about you? Always behaving so high and mighty, you're just a witch, don't forget," Jackson growled, having had enough of this woman. Though he didn't like her from the start when she came to the pack, why was a witch even needed? But then again, she helped with healing and other things, so he let it be.But he hated her whenever their paths crossed."You're angry because you were rejected, and your whole life went to hell after your wife died, and me, just a fucking witch, rejected you as a second chance mate," Lima spat her words venomously.Maya and Alice's eyes widened in shock. Mostly Maya was stunned. Of course, she knew how Jackson lost his wife in the attack, but she never knew that Lima was his second chance mate and had rejected him too.It made sense why she didn't know, because she was away for 18 years, but this whole situation was quite strange. He showed no sign of discomfort while they talked and decided to come here."I don't want a mate like you. I had on

    "What brought you here? Let me have some peace. Didn't I tell you last time that I am now too old to help? Even when I helped before, my powers are still recovering, so find someone else," Lima softly sighed, seeing three familiar faces.It's not like she doesn't want to help, but her old bones can't assist at all. Even though Alisha is a royal heir, that doesn't mean she will put her life at stake. She is here due to a treaty, or else why would a witch live among werewolves?When the attack happened on this pack, she got sent here because Alisha's mother had some witch powers, so she was considered part of the witch side too. She helped them when they needed it, so as Lima came here to help the warriors and to heal others, she had to stay due to the circumstances, and how the pack needed her powers for healing and recovery.Now, she did help by telling about the curse and curing Alisha a bit. That doesn't mean she will keep doing it; she hates sticking her nose into business that isn

    "Come here, sit down. Now tell us what you all found," Levi immediately came with water as soon as Alice, Maya, and Jackson entered.She, Rish, and Alisha were all so eager to know what happened about the whole building scenario.And all three of them were dissatisfied too because they were left behind. Usually, they all went there to train and were very familiar with the area, but today Maya allowed no one other than Alice, who obviously saw the building, so it was necessary for him to go.Elk had some work, so he couldn't go with them or stay at home either."Let us breathe. Why are you so eager?" Maya sighed as they all settled in their seats and took the water."How can we not be eager?" Rish stated. "You all went there without us, of course we are curious, and it's so hard to keep our calm after seeing you all.""That's because it wasn't necessary for so many of us to go there, and we can't just leave one person alone here, even though this house is safe. That doesn't mean I'm no

    "Is this the place where you found the key?" Jackson asked, unsure of what to do next."Yes, this is exactly where I saw the building and got this key," Alice replied. How could he forget? Even in his dreams the previous night, he had seen that damned building and felt the exact same feeling as the moment he stood in that place. Now that they were here, the building was nowhere to be found, just as he had been unable to see it after exiting yesterday. Again, he wanted to dismiss yesterday as a dream, but this key wouldn't let that happen – nor would the vivid, detailed memory ingrained in his head.So it was useless to even try. But what now? There was no building here, and he didn't know what he was meant to do with this key.He brushed his hair back, stress clearly visible on his face. He didn't look panicked, but he was far from comfortable or at peace.This was mostly because of his involvement with the mafia; he rarely felt panic unless his mother or Alisha were somehow harmed

    "I know you've suffered a lot, but that doesn't mean it'll set things straight," Maya said, her wrinkled face showing the weight of her exhaustion and stress. "It doesn't matter, Alisha. When you're in a place where you have to fight, death is unavoidable. Did you think you'd get the Alpha position peacefully?"How could she not be tired? Everything was taking its toll on her mind; she didn't even want to count it all. Finding Alisha had been her first priority, but back then, she hadn't thought deeply about what she'd do next or how things would work out.Now, when she did think about it, it seemed like a far-fetched dream. It was as if she'd only dreamed about the starting point—finding Alisha—and then never dreamed beyond that. And now she was suffering in her success: the attack, Alisha's curse, the pack's new Alpha, and this building mystery. Everything was crushing her.She didn't even know how to mend her relationship with Elk. He'd said he forgave her, but since that day, she

    Alisha sighed, watching him sleep peacefully. She didn't understand why she felt compelled to comfort him and talk with him like this, especially when he had been inches away from forcing her into a situation she would never want.Somehow, she felt guilty because he was here because of her. Maybe he wanted to be here, but that didn't mean she could simply push things aside. He wouldn't have to be here if it weren't for her; he was away from his mother and everyone else, all because of her. So, she couldn't bring herself to deny him some peace.It wasn't that she was particularly good at providing comfort, but she thought he needed someone to rely on. At the dining table, he had looked pale when talking about the building that no one else had seen. She was shocked when he showed the key, knowing that Alice wasn't a paranoid person who would joke about such things.It might have been believable if it were about a place she had never seen, but she had trained on that ground for a whole w

    "Maya, I wanted to ask you something," Alice finally spoke, pushing his dinner around the plate.What happened today—the old building, the key—it had messed with his head. No matter how he tried, the building wasn't there again. As if it was all a dream. But the key in his pocket was solid proof that today was real."Ask," Maya looked up, her gaze sharp.Levi, Rish, Alisha, Jackson, and Elk all turned to Alice, waiting."So I was running on the training grounds today," Alice began, fiddling with his spoon."And?" Maya prompted, confusion lacing her voice."There was... a building," he stumbled over the words, not sure how to explain."What do you mean, 'a building'?" Jackson's eyes narrowed."Yeah, what building? There's nothing out there," Elk added. "Even the pack doesn't use those grounds. That's why we picked it for training.""Maybe you ran too hard," Rish chimed in, swallowing a mouthful of food. "We're out there every day. No buildings in sight."Alice's fingers twitched. How c

    'Why do I always lose my temper and control like this? I was doing fine, but then I ruined everything,' Alice mumbled to himself, regretting his actions with Alisha in the room.It was as if everything had slipped away, and he wasn't in control of his own body. Most of the time, he never regretted what he did with Alisha, but today, what happened in the room felt different—as if someone else was controlling him.The way he wanted to consume her, though she always allured him in a way that made him lose his mind, today was too much.'I need to be in control, or else Alisha will hate me more than she already does,' he reasoned with himself.He'd held his patience for weeks, trying to make Alisha comfortable with him, and again, things went exactly how he didn't want them to.He started running on the training ground they'd been using for a week. The exercise felt refreshing to a certain point; his fuzzy mind began to clear as his legs picked up pace and the soothing air hit his system.

    "I don't want it. Or has my dumbness turned on you and you've caught it whole? Is that why you're unable to hear what I'm saying?" Alisha sneered, not liking even the tiniest attempt to manipulate her like this.And yet, her body was betraying her. She felt a heat crawling up her skin, a readiness to give in that had nothing to do with her will. Maybe it was the mate bond, something she didn't fully understand but couldn't ignore. The effect his touch had on her lately was no joke. But that didn't make it right."You're making this so hard for me. You know that, right?" Alice's voice was crisp and curt as he grabbed her by the neck. Not with too much force, but enough to startle her, enough to make her whole body shake."Ahmmm," Alisha whimpered, his grip on her neck tightening just shy of pain. His chest rubbed against her forehead as he towered over her, a predator watching his prey. His eyes, dark and intent, seemed ready to devour her."Just like that, moan for me," he growled, hi
