Serena's POVI looked at Gilly Ponder for a while after she said she didn't believe me. It seemed like she must have also thought about the points I gave. It's miserable how tense things are because if she could go out, all she needs is one day with Alpha Zone, and she would change her mind about all of the doubts she has."So, he is a nice guy?" She asked again."He is just a little grumpy sometimes," I said, and she smiled. "I can already tell that you two will be good together, and you will be together forever.""I hope so." She said, and she meant it.Unlike earlier, she looked happy and excited, with a glint of hope in her eyes. I'm thrilled to see she isn't being sceptical about Alpha Zone, and I hope he does treat her nicely, too."Gilly, I need to leave now," I said to her,She looked downcast for a moment, and that broke my heart. She needs someone always to come and visit her. I know Alpha Zone is busy these days, and I was just lucky, but it isn't right that she's always le
Author's POVAfter hours of Serena visiting her, Gilly had felt very anxious about whether she would keep her word, and she had enough reasons not to keep her word. Witches raised her, and she might be an imposter. Gilly half expected Serena to never let her out of this chamber, but she also hoped that Serena might treat her differently from the others.Then, the door opened. She stood up abruptly to see who it was, for it wasn't time for her to have her next meal. There were two guards. They looked at her with disgust."The King asked to release you from this chamber, and you will move to a room closer to the royal family." He said stiffly."Really?" She asked in excitement. She felt tears fill her eyes because Serena kept her word."Get your things and follow us." The other said.She went to pack her bags and took a few room decor for my new room. She hoped it was better than this one and had the freedom to decorate it however she wanted, but it might be problematic because of the a
Author's POVAfter the banquet last night, Gilly was feeling down, and she also felt worse because she didn't have the opportunity to talk to Alpha Zone even though she did see him at the banquet last night. He looked so cold and nothing like Serena said, but Gilly knew Serena wouldn't lie to me about him. She had been honest and kept her word, so Alpha Zone should be far from what she told Gilly about him.She went to the kitchen, and luckily, no maid was there. So she went to work quickly before anyone could catch her. She made Alpha Zone breakfast. She made bread for him, went to the garden to get fresh fruits, and made hot tea.She was excited as she went up to his room, but when she got there, she realized that he wasn't there. She felt downcast; she did all that she did for nothing. She turned to leave, but she realized his room was messy.She kept the food and tidied up the room, leaving it spotless. Then, she noticed he had torn clothing, and she mended it.While she was mendi
Serena's POV"What is going on here? I asked. I saw Gilly on the ground and a maid's feet on a book.I knew exactly what was going on. They were bullying her just because she was raised by witches. What's worse is that after we told them not to do it, they went ahead to do it because they think they can get away with anything they do just as they got away with bullying me."Serena, I was just trying to read and…""I wasn't asking you." I said to Gilly, who was trying to explain. I know if I let Gilly speak, she will downplay the situation. I didn't want this situation downplayed.I walked in front of her, making the maid remove her leg from the good and take a step back. "I was asking you." I asked with all the venom I had in me.I recognized one of the maids. She was an omega from my pack. One of the very few who survived the witches' attacks. I would have expected bullying from an Alpha or Beta but an Omega? It was awful to see the cycle continuing. Even after everything they saw I
Serena's POVAfter returning the books to the library, we went to her room. I checked to see if she was hurt, but thankfully, she wasn't. She didn't speak. She just sat down in her bed, looking downcast.I sat next to her and pulled her close to me. She took a deep breath and she started crying. I held her close as she sobbed uncontrollably. I could help it, but tears also began to flow from my eyes."Serena, why are they so cruel? I just wanted to read. I just wanted to…" she took in breath sharply."I know. I know. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry they treated you so horribly." I said"It was more than horrible. I was treated like I killed someone or committed a horrible crime. I wish I never came out of my secret chambers." She said hurtfully.I was sad because I knew what I had to do to get her out, and she isn't even happy being here. I wanted her to have freedom. It seems like she traded one prison for another."I am very sorry about that, Gilly." I said."What di
Serena's POVAfter talking sense into Alpha Zone, I went back to Gilly as promised. She was already fast asleep in bed. I can imagine how tired it must be. It's been a long day for her, and it's good she rests.I decided to sit and wait till she woke up. She needs all the comfort she can get, and she will have enough from me as a friend.After a while, I realized that if she woke up, she would be hungry. I went to the kitchen, and I asked the maids to make lunch for Gilly. The two maids I confronted were there. I stay and watch them do it. Those girls are vile, and they could poison the food. I watched them keenly. Call a way for me subtly reminding them I will not hesitate to make their life miserable if they try to do anything, no matter how tiny, to hurt Gilly.Once they were done, I took the food and went back to Gilly's room. I saw the door was partly open, and I heard Alpha Zone's voice."Serena told me you were attacked earlier. Are you hurt?" He asked."No. Thanks to her. She
Serena's POVAfter I recovered from the process of transforming into a werewolf, I decided to take Gilly to meet Arden so I can tell him about the great powers she possesses and how helpful it can be to the Kingdom and other packs at large.Gilly wasn't completely on board with the idea of telling him about her abilities. She wasn't sure if he would accept her because she was raised by witches, and Serena had faith that he would.They met Arden in the throne room, and he was looking like he would rather not see anyone at this hour, but when he saw it was Serena, he decided to give them his attention."Arden, I know it's late but I need you to know something important." I said.He looked at me curiously. "What is it?" He asked.I know what he is probably thinking. Gilly must have done something that proved she was on the witches side, and she should be punished. That's what anyone would think, but this time, he is in for the shock of his life."Gilly can create potions and essence to m
Serena's POVWe both stared at Sylvia standing over Gilly's almost lifeless body. How did she do so much damage in a matter of minutes? I knew Sylvia was strong, but I never learned to what extent."Answer me, Sylvia!" Zone yelled at the top of his voice.Sylvia looked surprised. "Me? Ask this witch of a mate what she did to me?"Sylvia must be utterly insane if she believes, even for a second, that she is the victim. Both Gilly and I were going to pass her to avoid trouble, but she was the one who ran mad all of a sudden."Sylvia, I can tolerate everything you have done in this palace, but hurting my mate is the one thing I will not take lightly." He said in anger.He was heartbroken and saddened by the sight of Gilly. He only made amends with her, and Sylvia decided to do this horrible and cruel act."What is your problem? Why do you enjoy tormenting people?" I asked with all the venom in me."For your information, it was your fault this happened." She snapped.I looked at her with
