"Very well then, you've made your decision!" He said and turned his back to walk away but kicked Asher off the floor before walking away.
I gasped at the impact of his kick on Asher because it had thrown him to the wall.
"Asher!" I screamed as I ran to meet him but the instant i got close to him, he wouldn't let me touch him as he sent me a burning glare and clenched his teeth at me.
"Asher!" I called out his name again but this time I was hurt at his behavior. I had expected him to embrace me with his arms but rather he shoved me off and stood up by himself.
I watched how he leaped away from me in pain. I hated to see him in this much pain but he wasn't going to let me help him or even touch him and it made the knot on my chest tighten even more.
I was shocked as I stood speechless in the middle of the room when other wolves in the room slowly raised their heads up
"Who cares about you?!" He blurted out and my whole body froze on the spot as I was trying to understand if I had heard him clearly or if he actually did mean what he said. "What do you mean?" I asked with my shaky voice. He didn't seem to respond on time as he massaged his temples while I stared at him in shock waiting for an explanation. "I'm sorry" he said after some time after rubbing his face with his palm but I wasn't going to receive a mere apology for the word he had just said. "No don't tell me sorry, why the fuck would you say that to me!" I yelled in pain but he didn't say anything else and kept on staring at me. "You're making me feel like I'm being us
"Do not ever raise your hands on me!" He roared with his lycan aura as his grip on my hand tightened and for some moment there I thought I was going to end up with a broken wrist as he didn't release his hand from mine even though I winced loudly in pain."Now leave!" He coldly said as he pushed me to the floor, letting my head hit the ground really hard that I suddenly started to feel a throbbing bad ache there, my vision started to blur out and the last thing I could see were his eyes, they were no longer golden but mildly green and then I blacked out.*****"Nora!" A voice called my name as my eyes fluttered but I immediately shut it back due to the amount of light that was entering my eyes."I'm glad you're okay now" the voice said
"Can you just fucking mind your business and stop asking me about Tala anymore because that wouldn't get us to our goal, it would only be a distraction" he said and I could feel the tears flowing down my eyes."Why are you crying now?" He asked, feeling irritated but he stood up to meet me."You obviously don't care about me Asher and I'm sorry if I had been pushing this relationship so far" I apologized with my head bowed but he lifted my face to look at his ."Come on, why would you say that?" He asked and his voice suddenly became softer than it was."I was badly injured while I went to meet Alaric, I could have died but you didn't care about that, rather you were being really mean to me."
"Take this!" He ordered as he approached me with two tablets in his hand and a cup of water from the small table beside the bed.I stared at the drugs for some while as I contemplated whether or not to use the drugs, I didn't trust him and wasn't sure they were safe."The doctor gave them to me" he said like he was somehow reading my mind and I nodded my head as I collected the tablets from him and gulped them down with the water beside me."Thanks" I said but he didn't reply to me as he went back to sit down.My mind was filled with different thoughts as I kept on thinking of how I could make him go far away from the room without him noticing anything.I wasn't with my phone and there was no way I could reach out
"Excuse me" I replied to him as I adjusted my clothes back on and left the room.I didn't want to go back to my room because I still feared Alaric might be there.I could hear Asher calling me back but I needed some space away from him to clear my mind from what he had just said, not like I wasn't hurt but I couldn't possibly let him know how bad his words got to me.I reached Ariel's room and knocked really loudly on it, hoping she would be available and free for me and my prayers were actually answered when she opened the door to meet me and the smile on her face slowly turned to concern."You still don't look good, are you sure nothing's wrong?" She asked and I shook my head at her before walking past her into her room, her roommate wasn't around and I was kind of glad.&nbs
ALARIC'S POVLying on the bee in my room while I stared at the blank ceiling, I wasn't at ease and couldn't bring myself to calm as I kept changing my position on the bed.I really want to wrap her in my arms again but I couldn't, I had immediately stood up from her bedwheb I realized I couldn't hold it in anymore.Every fibre in me wants nothing more than marking her and fucking her brains out but I had to be patient, not just for me but for her sanity because I really cared for her.Other lycans probably wouldn't care about her feelings and would instantly mark and mate her but u was very aware of the fact that the bastard had turned her down a day before I arrived, who the fuck in their right senses would turn down such a beautiful girl like her.
"Where is the bastard?" I growled at him and could immediately hear the sound of pee, was he seriously peeing on himself? My anger must have made him really scared."I...I don't know" he quivered and I sighed, he must definitely be saying the truth, he doesn't look like one who talks until he's asked to."He hasn't been around for some hours now" he added as his teeth gritted against each other in fear."Damn it!" I roared as the walls suddenly shook.Different thoughts started to go through my mind and I wondered if Lenora was safe wherever she could be because I won't even trust that bastard around her but she doesn't want to accept the fact that he's bad for her."What if he's t
LENORA'S POVThe noises, they were getting too loud as they kept on bothering my ear. I tried to open my eyes but it was like my whole body was too weak for that but the noises were getting awkwardly too loud that I used every last fibre in me to open my eyes.The image in front of me wasn't any satisfying as my weak eyes immediately widened in awe as I spotted Asher being constantly pounded by a beast. I couldn't see the beast's face as his back was turned to me and unrecognizable but I could tell it wasn't just a wolf but a lycan due to the way he shifted"Alaric!" I gasped when I saw a hint of his glowing golden eyes and my body immediately shook. He had found us! I was partially expecting him to find us but not so soon, and I was sure he wouldn't
ALARIC'S POVI didn't expect Camila to come here or how she found out about Lenora's pregnancy but whatever she came for wouldn't be pure as I don't trust her a bit.I had known she would say some crazy things to Lenora. I wasn't disappointed when Lenora came to me with a broken heart crying in my chest. I had no words to say to her as Camila was right. I couldn't mark her while she was pregnant.But I had wanted Lenora to know about this thing personally from me and not someone she definitely doesn't like. Even though I had
LENORA'S POV"I walked back to the dance floor as I just wanted to have fun without having to think of any past girlfriend that Alaric had once made out with. The image and thought of them being together in the past made my skin itch as my blood boiled in anger.I should probably calm the fuck down since there was nothing attached to her visit but why the hell would she even visit."A drink please!" I said to the waiter who was walking by with a tray of some flavored drink in his hand. He handed over a glass to me which I gulped down almost immediately before coughing. The drink definitely contained some large volume of alcohol yet I drank them.Alaric would kill me if he found out that I drank a
"I love you too, Alaric" I whispered as tears streamed down from my eyes. This was literally the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me.I have never thought he was the type to do something like this but damn this makes me really happy."I don't know why im fucking nervous," he chuckled as we both burst out in laughter."It's fine," I replied amidst my laughter."Lenora Hunter, will you be my forever?" He asked as he brought out a white little box cont
It's been 2 weeks since Adolph left the Palace and it has also been 2 weeks since I declared my love for Alaric. Everything has been working just fine for us ever since and I sincerely hope that it'll last forever. I do not wish to encounter any more problems, I've suffered enough since I was born and I could say I needed to feel nothing but joy henceforth. Tala and Clara on the other hand have been suffering in the same cell for two weeks, they've been eating fine as I promised but their food has always been laced with wolfsbane. I made sure to put a trusted person who would be in charge of that, I didn't want it to be a situation whereby they get to be pitied. At first they were reluctant to eat their food and that went on for only three or four days as their body cried for food. They had no choice but to eat what would slowly kill them eventually. I
"Lenora," Clara called with fear in her eyes as her body shook beside Tala who couldn't seem to comprehend what was happening.I signalled to Alaric that I would like to go closer to them in hopes that he would let go of my waist but he didn't, he held them even more firm as he walked me towards them."Lenora, I knew you would turn out to be the best" Clara forced a smile on her face while sweat filled her body."I just knew you were special right from the start and all of these were just a scheme to bring your inner spirit out...""Just shut the fuck up Clara! Do you think I would even take a second to believe you after everything you've done to me? You were so comfortable with wanting to kill m
A gasp left my mouth the moment my eyes flew open and I found myself yet in the Palace. It must have been a dream but it felt so real.A sharp pain stung my chest and I screamed in awe while clenching my chest tight with my hands, my senses resurfaced as I lifted my head to see blood trailing down Adolph's arms as his hands were dug into Alaric's body.The sight of seeing Alaric's blood spilling on the ground, the sight of his skin going pale, the sight of blood gushing from his mouth as he struggled for his life.The feeling of pain in him, the feeling of pain in me and the spinning of my head made everything worse for me. I tried to yell but words didn't seem to be leaving my mouth.Alaric's eyes finally met with my startled eyes as his lips curled up in a painful smile at the sight of me. He was smiling at me while his eyes were closing shut and his hands were no longer fighting for his life.
"Lenora!" I yelled her name while trying my best to make her open her eyes. The blade hadn't done any damage to her skin yet she wasn't opening her eyes.Perhaps she passed out from panicking or the shock that came with the realisation that she was close to death.Diane came closer to where I was standing as she offered to help Lenora. On releasing lenora to her, my rage resurfaced.I couldn't believe my father almost took Lenora away from me like he had been taking the people I loved away from me. I definitely won't let him get away with this."That was the height of it Adolph!" I growled and reached to hit him, I wasn't attempting to just hit him but to let him pay for everything he had caused even if it meant killing him.&nb
This couldn't be happening, this was unfair, the king was being unfair. Tala had also caused injuries to me but he never paid attention to that and just this once I managed to have the upper hand, he was still going to be on Tala's side and everything seemed like he had made up his mind right from the start."This isn't fair Father!" Alaric spoke up in a raised rone as he stood up and pointed his finger to the King, the queen wasn't happy about his decision either as she abandoned Tala on the floor with her eyes fixed on the King as she stared at him in disbelief."I have made my final decision!" The king repeated as I completely broke down. He could not
LENORA'S POV "Order from the King, every wolf should be present in the battleground, the battle starts in 10 minutes. It's the final battle and the day the prince marks his partner!" The King's guard announced yet again but my mind was way far from what he was saying. "Do you think you can handle this?" Alaric asked amidst his anger, I could sense his anger but he was trying his best to contain it. "Yeah.." I replied faintly as he walked me into my room. I wasn't feeling like myself as my mind was
