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
ELYSIA'S POVI managed to sleep after Asher coaxed me to sleep although I couldn't feel him beside me till I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to find myself alone on the bed. Apparently, Asher had not even come to bed at all. It was cold, and I would have easily snuck under the sheets to savour the warmth of the bed, but I was worried about Asher.I got off the bed to find him, it didn't take long before I found him on the balcony rigorously going through a book. The knots on his forehead got thicker with each passing moment as I got closer and I couldn't help but wonder what he was reading in the book to get him so upset.He was so engrossed in the book that he did not notice me coming onto the balcony until I called him to get his attention."Asher," I called and he immediately looked up at me."You are awake?""What are you doing out here?" I asked and approached him to check out the book he was looking into. I wondered why he was looking into some astrological books. My hea
ELYSIA'S POVI was feeling extremely dizzy and unable to open my eyes. By the time we arrived at the hospital, I had become so weak that I could barely even move my hands.The doctor asked for me to be laid down on the bed while he checked me and placed me on a drip while Asher sat on the bed beside me.The doctor took samples of my blood and went to the lab to run some tests.By the time he returned to the room, I was already feeling a bit better, more than I felt earlier when Asher had come with me to the hospital. The drip seemed to have done its job."How is she?" Asher asked the doctor the moment he came in and we were informed that I was a few weeks pregnant."Let me see that," Asher said and took the envelope from his hand. His eyes lit up as soon as he went through the contents."Is it true?" I asked Asher, sitting up on the bed so fast that I almost felt dizzy.The news of my pregnancy came as a great relief and brought great satisfaction, at least in the midst of all the bad
ELYSIA'S POVThe moment Asher's eyes caught mine, at first, I thought he was going to scold me for disobeying him and leaving the house but he didn't.He left the guards he was addressing and walked up to me."Are you okay?" He asked me while trying to catch his breath, he had his hands all over me and I was pushed to assure him that I was okay."I'm fine, I just... Can we just spend the evening together? Just the two of us.""Of course," he immediately agreed and ran his hand through my arms. "Let me take care of something first."He went back to his guards and said a few words to them before he dismissed them and came back to me. We walked to the palace together, with him holding my hand and stroking it occasionally."So, what are we going to do this evening?" I asked him excitedly as soon as we arrived at the palace."I'm going to prepare a surprise for you," he told me and led me to the room."Just wait here and get dressed while I prepare something." He said and made to leave but
