ASHER'S POVI angrily slammed the phone on the ground after I got off the call and cursed under my breath.The feeling of frustration was getting worse with each passing moment.Every single attempt I had made at finding another witch to help with the make on Elysia's hand had proved futile, I had made several calls hoping to finally be able to find something with at least one of them, but they all proved futile and I ended up getting frustrated.Why was everything going wrong all at once? And why can't I seem to get a solution to all of these?After feeling frustrated for a few minutes, I decided to go to Aurora's cave to explore it again, hopefully, I would find something that could help.Amidst the bad situation of the pack, I was more disturbed about Elysia's plight and I sincerely wished that Serafina has not gotten her involved her in our issue.The state at which I saw Elysia that morning would not stop haunting me, and the fact that I brought it all on her haunted me even more
ASHER'S POVThe kiss got even more heated, and very soon nothing else mattered to us apart from the fact that we were seeking comfort in each other's arms.Not the fact that we were in my office, neither was it the fact that the office door was not completely locked, neither was it the fact that Elysia had a mark on her hand which was planted by an enraged witch that wanted to punish me in order to have access to her hand.We forgot all our problems for a brief moment, neither of us thought about Serafina or her band or all the haunting games she had been playing on use ever since her arrival instead we both focused on giving each other pleasure.I broke the kiss for a brief moment slowly trailed my lips to Elysia's neck. I bit softly on her neck and I suddenly had the urge to mark her which I pushed away and kissed her there several other times again.I slowly trailed my hand up her thigh till I located her intimidate area with my fingers, she let out a soft moan and rested into my s
ELYSIA'S POVAs soon as I drifted into the world of sleep, I found myself in a beautiful garden on a sunny afternoon. It was the same garden we have at the palace, the same place I usually go to clear my head whenever I'm in deep thought, only that this time, there were even more colourful flowers than there had ever been in the garden.Asher was the first person to come to my mind as I was admiring the flowers, so I decided to collect some very beautiful flowers and put them together to form a very beautiful colour mixture of flowers. I planned to present it to him later but he suddenly showed up in the garden."Is that for me?" He asked, looking down at the flowers."You ruined the surprise," I told him and pouted my lips."But I still got the flower anyway," he smiled down at me and took the flower from my hand.We were having a good time when all of a sudden, the atmosphere became charged and the clouds started to grow dark.I was still trying to figure out what was going on when
ELYSIA'S POVMy heart was beautiful speedily because I felt like something bad was about to happen again. I had become super jumpy these days since all these recent happenings because I always had the feeling that something bad was about to happen.Whenever there was a little commotion and unusual noise, the first thought I got was that there was another problem, or that Serafina had done something else again. In fact, I was always expecting something bad to happen.I and Asher were still there trying to figure out what was going on when some guards ran up to us.I let out a soft gasp because of the speed with which they ran to us.My eyes were open as I looked at them, anticipating the bad news that was about to drop."Some members of the pack have rushed to the palace and are requesting to see you, they are creating a commotion outside and they are insisting they need to see you. And they would not leave no matter how much we try to make them leave." The guard explained."What do th
ELYSIA'S POVWith a gnawing headache and unbearable dizziness, my eyes fluttered open to see Asher hovering over me, my vision was dazed at first, it took a few blinking before I was able to get rid of the kist covering my eyes and see properly."Elysia," I heard Asher's voice float into my ear then I forced my eyes open to have a proper look at his face.He looked worried as his eyes darted around my face in fear that something bad might happen to me, beads of sweat were dropping from his forehead and his eyes wide open as he looked into my face.He heaved a sigh of relief when I opened my eyes."Elysia, are you okay? What's wrong with you?" He questioned, his eyes bored holes into mine.I was about to tell him everything was fine and nothing was wrong with me when I suddenly saw Serafina hanging around behind Asher, I started to panic again and when he asked me what was wrong, I told him Serafina was there."She is right behind you," I pointed and he quickly looked back.He looked b
ELYSIA'S POVI dragged my feet to my room after assuring Asher that I was going to be fine on my own and getting separated from him, but I was far from falling asleep because the sleep wouldn't come. How could I even bring myself to be able to sleep when there was so much going on in the pack and I was so clueless about all of it? I couldn't even come up with any means of solving the problem yet things kept getting worse.I felt completely useless, I wished there was something I could do to help, but everything seemed to elude me. The only thing I could do was to hang around so vulnerably while depending on others for protection.I couldn't help but wonder how long it would take before Serafina decided to destroy everything, including those I had been hoping on for protection.I knew I shouldn't let that happen, I should be able to help in my little way.Maybe Serafina could have the solution. After all of this was her doing, I thought I would be able to convince her to tell me what t
ASHER'S POVI was all sweaty after Elysia's revelation, my heart started to thumb fast and my fits clenched.I guess this is where we finally end it. I thought to myself as I sat up from the bed.Elysia immediately stood up after me and came to hold my hand."What do you plan on doing?" She asked, holding her gaze."We end it," I said under my breath. "I will get hold of that witch and end her once and for all."I promptly placed a call to Nikolai to meet me outside before I walked out of the room with Elysia following after me."Get the men ready, we are going after Serafina." I said to the rather hesitant Nikolai, not minding that it was already the middle of the night."What?" I yelled at Nikolai when he kept standing there and giving me an awkward look. "You have to hurry, we have no time," I pushed further but he was still hesitant."Are you sure about this Asher?" He pressed. "It's the middle of the night and...""Nikolai," I interrupted him but he remained adamant."Asher, how l
ASHER'S POVMy fists clenched when I noticed Serafina behind the clouds. Her lips stretched into a coy smile when our eyes met."You didn't tell me we have a visitor," She mused and walked towards me.She stood in front of me, standing a few inches shorter than me, she had to slightly raise her head to look into my eyes."I like it when you look this vulnerable and defenceless in front of me." She whispered and started running her hands through my chest, she had a flirtatious smile on her face. "It makes me feel very powerful and gives me the feeling that I can do anything to you in this state."My jaw was tightened as I watched her in her flirtatious display."You know what Asher?" She continued. "I would really love to kill you right here and now, but unlike you, I don't like making rash decisions." She scoffed and started pacing around. "I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing before I take any action."She continued taunting me for the next few minutes but I couldn't do anythi
