ELYSIA'S POVI must have gotten lost admiring the extraordinarily beautiful woman in front of me that I did not realize that I had no idea where I was, neither did I realize what was going on.The moon goddess must have read the confusion on my face, she gave me a warm smile to reassure me.Even though I didn't know what was going on yet, her smile was enough to reassure me that I was safe."I understand that you must be confused as to where you are and what happened back there on the battlefield, I'm going to explain everything to you in a short while."Her velvety voice flowed so effortlessly as she spoke like she didn't have to put any effort into speaking and being elegant while at it. Her eyes sparkled as she spoke to me. There was something about this woman that would make anyone want to bow to her and worship her.I had always prayed to the Luna goddess even as a child, but I had never tried to imagine what she looked like, even if I did, there was no way I could have imagined
ELYSIA'S POVI tried to recall the exact words the moon goddess had said to me in the trance-like state before she disappeared and the light went off."She said she hoped she would be able to see my son." I spelt out the words as I recalled them in my head while picturing the face of the beautiful moon goddess and the beautiful smile that was plastered on her face when she spoke to me.Asher's brows were raised, he looked equally as taken aback as I was when I first heard it."She probably meant that we are going to have a son," Asher said and placed a hand on my stomach, he seemed to be in deep thoughts. "And she looks forward to seeing him. What do you think?"I reluctantly nodded my head even though I was not yet satisfied with the explanation.I guess that should be the least of my worries for now. I thought I should just concentrate on celebrating our victory over Serafina and all the troubles she had ever posed in the pack since her arrival.Finally, peace had been restored in A
ASHER'S POVIt all seemed like a dream to me, a good one. Actually, it seemed like a dream that was too good to be true.It was difficult for me to be able to contain all of these at once, the emotions ran so high that I had to leave the room because it was already starting to get suffocating in there.I rushed out, trying to catch my breath, I could not help but wonder if I was being pranked.Outside, I walked into Nikolai who was hurrying over to the hospital, because I wasn't looking where I was going, I almost bumped into him."Is everything okay?" He asked as he studied me with his brows raised."Yes," I said, staring into space absentmindedly. "Everything is okay, so okay that I almost think I'm dreaming, only that this dream, I don't want to wake up from it.""You are speaking in parables," Nikolai said, confused. "I actually came running here when I heard Elysia was awake. How is she doing?""They managed to stabilize her. But there is something else. It feels like a miracle j
ASHER'S POVIn the middle of the night when the hospital was extremely quiet and everyone had gone to sleep including Elysia who was fast asleep in my arms, I decided to use that opportunity to sneak out of the room and go to the altar which was just behind the hospital.Because of easy access to the moon goddess and so that the pack members would be able to access and pray to her whenever they felt the need to, altars were placed in strategic corners of the pack, including the one which was placed behind the hospital.I thought that would have been the best thing I did in my pack, especially now that I needed to pray to her and offer a sacrifice to thank her for saving us and also bringing back I and Elysia's child.I did a blood sacrifice for the goddess and went down on my knees with my face bowed to thank her for bringing back my child. I wished there was a way I could convey my thankfulness and relay to her how happy I was about her good deeds. I could not help but hope that the
ELYSIA'S POVI asked Asher why there was so much company when we were just going shopping."Because I want you to have as much help as you can get, we don't want to take any chances," Asher said.Asher's driver took the wheel while Asher stayed with me at the back. All through the drive, he kept being overprotective of me. Occasionally, he would turn and ask if I was okay. Whenever we met a gallop, he would take me in his arms and hold my stomach, he would run it occasionally to make sure I was okay.We arrived at the store where we were to shop for paints to paint the nursery. While the guards were asked to stay back in the car, the maids were asked to come into the store with us so they could lend a hand if there was a lot to carry.There was a bit of a conflict about the colour of the paint to buy since we weren't sure of the sex of the baby yet. We finally concluded on getting the two colours after a while of deliberation.We returned to the palace after shopping, Asher asked if I
ELYSIA'S POV"How could they?" Asher groaned and tightened his fists against the wheel. I watched all the veins in his hands and neck start to pop while at it to the point that I got scared that he may lose control of the wheel and we could run into a crash."Calm down, Asher." I tried to calm him down, but he tightened his fist even more, I was scared that if he held on further, he might end up ripping the wheel apart."Who are they to think that they can order me around?" Asher groaned louder under his breath. "Do they think you are some kind of toy or something?" His angry voice filled the car.We were on the way home after the meeting with the Alpha on the border and Alpha had been furious ever since then. He could not control his anger at the fact that they didn't just try order him around, but they also dared to treat me like a toy which they would hold a meeting to determine what happened to me.I tried to calm him but he wasn't having any of it."I'd go for the meeting, but I'
ELYSIA'S POVAt first, it felt like I was floating in a cluster of clouds since I could no longer feel my body touching the ground, instead, I felt strong arms around me and holding me closely to a soft body.My eyes fluttered open to see Asher carrying me securely in his arms.I blinked my eyes open and looked into his face."Asher," I mumbled.He looked a little bit upset and didn't even spare me even the slightest smile."What were you doing falling asleep in the nursery where you could have gone to bed?" He asked me crossly.I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and hugged him."I was trying to put it in order since you were out with Nikolai, you didn't come back on time so I thought I should do something to pass the time," I said, pouting."But, you shouldn't have fallen asleep there, you know sleeping like that on the ground could be dangerous for our child." He said and used one of his hands to push the room door open.I had considered that earlier, but I didn't realize whe
ASHER'S POVWe got ready and packed up that night, and the next morning, we set off for the place where the meeting was to be held.We went with two cars because we needed to take along with us the other people who were in the field the other day and some of my men.I kept having a hitch in my breath all through the morning even while we packed up the things we would be needing for the duration of the meeting into the car."Are you ready?" Elysia turned to me once we were done and I swallowed hard."Yes,"I did not seem to be able to get my heart to be at peace all through the drive there because I was worried. I could not just shake off the feelings that something was going to go wrong.I felt the strong urge to suddenly turn the car around and return to my pack, but I knew I could not do that because whether I liked it or not, I would eventually have to answer to the call of the other Alphas and I realized that the earlier I did that, the better for both I and Elysia.I knew Elysia
