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
ELYSIA'S POV"When did you get the time to prepare all of these?""It didn't take much, after all, I will do anything to make you happy." He whispered into my ear.He was standing behind me with his arms around my body as I took in the entire view of the candle-lit dinner setting with a blush on my face.The attention and love I was getting from him seemed foreign and overwhelming like I was in one very perfect dream that I didn't want to wake up from.A subtle tickle on my lower waist woke me up and brought me out of my thoughts."Let's eat," Asher said, looking down at me with a smile and I nodded happily.There was a picnic mat spread out on the rooftop, and the food was positioned I'm the middle of the mat with several lit red candles surrounding it.The moon seemed to be in support of our little show of love and romance on the rooftop because it was shining at its brightest. The light from the rooftop was enough to illuminate the rooftop that we didn't need any artificial light t
ELYSIA'S POVBoth I and Asher were over the moon that night after we returned home with our set of twins.We were welcomed home by all the excited pack members and and the servants in the palace when we returned home with our children.They must have been waiting outside the palace as soon as they heard about my delivery.Neither I nor Asher could get any sleep that night because we were too excited. Even the food we were served for rejected because we could not eat it.Instead, we both sat awake watching the faces of the two children."Miraculous isn't it?" Asher asked me as we sat over the babies' cot watching the sleep."We expected just one child, but the goddess ended up giving us two." He told me.I had a bright smile on my face because I had other things in mind.It was difficult for he to believe the drastic turn around in my life within the past year. I remembered that I had come here as I breeder, but here I was, as the Luna and with a set of twins for the Alpha.I began to
ELYSIAI let out a soft gasp and took in a deep breath when I felt the sharp pain in my stomach for the second time that day. Apart from the cramp in my stomach, it was more difficult trying to keep a straight face and pretending to be fine even when I felt that much pain. I tried to ignore the pain, hoping that it would go away soon. After all that wasn't the first time and the doctor had told me several times that the pain was normal.It was already nine months into my pregnancy but I was not yet close to the delivery date the doctor had given me.I was helping out at work in the pack. I had been doing that ever since because Asher had refused to assign another beta after what happened with Nikolai so I had been doing most of the beta work.And I must confess that it had been an interesting one for me all this while since it gave me a sense of belonging and I no longer felt left out.Soon, Asher came in with dinner for me. My eyes lit up the moment I saw him."You look stressed." He
ELYSIA'S POVThe tension which was starting to rise in me since I woke up and found myself in shackles under Nikolai quickly began to clear as soon as my eyes met with Asher's. I sucked in a breath and tried not to let the relief show on my face and instead, keep distracting Nikolai so that Asher could get all the time to do whatever he had to do."Why are you doing this, Nikolai? I thought you and Asher were friends, he trusted you with his life and you chose to do this to him."I was actually really surprised that Nikolai was doing this, despite all the trust Asher had in him."Why am I doing this?" Nikolai scoffed."It's because I'm pained, you moron." He fired at me."I hate the fact that Asher has always been the one to get all the good things. He is the Alpha while I was just his side dog who followed him around like a faithful servant." He fumed."And among all, he is cruel and wicked, while I clean up his messes. Do you know how tiring it is having to be the one to clean up th
ASHER'S POVWhen I got back from the errand I had to run, I went straight into the room to find Elysia. All through my drive back home, my mind had been on Elysia, I could not just wait for the evening so that we would go back to our pack and enjoy the peace which we had missed for the past few months.There was a smile on my face when I pushed the door open because I had gotten Elysia one of her favourite snacks and I was anticipating the look on her face when I handed it over to her.The smile on my face immediately faded when I pushed the door open and noticed that Elysia was not in the room, and from the look of things, it looked like she had been gone for a long.I got a little apprehensive but didn't think much of it. I brushed it off because I had left her under the care of Nikolai. If anything had gone wrong, he would have called immediately to inform me.I thought they had probably gone out for a walk and would be back soon, so I decided to take that chance and pack up our st
ELYSIA'S POVI woke up after a while to see Asher hovering over me and looking into my face.He had a knot on his forehead which immediately began to fade as soon as he noticed that I was awake. He let out a deep breath and leaned in to hug me.I was lying on the bed while Asher was sitting down and hovering over me. I had no idea for how long we had been like that."Thank God you are awake." He whispered to me."For how long have I been asleep?" I asked him and sat up on the bed."For as long as possible," he teased and felt my temperature with the back of his palm. "We are leaving this evening, and I just want to be sure that I have everything right."I nodded, it was about time we went back home after all."What happened at the meeting? How did it end?" I asked him because I could not remember anything that had happened after I made to storm out of the meeting.He explained to me everything that happened after the goddess took over my body the previous day and how she had warned th
ELYSIA'S POVThe Alphas insisted that I should showcase my powers in front of them in order for them to determine if I would remain as Luna or not.A scoff escaped my lips as I watched him spit out the words with so much authority like they were in their rights.I was infuriated with the audacity of the Alphas to make such a request of me. I considered it a direct insult to both I and Asher.Who gave them the right to make such a request of me? Did they think I was some sort of show dog or something that they could push around the way they liked and use for their entertainment?My jaw tightened and my fists clenched with every single word that left the lips of the Alpha who was addressing us.I burst out when I couldn't take it anymore because they were trying to treat me like a show dog instead of a Luna."What exactly do you take me for?" I lashed out at them. "A puppet? That you can order around the way you like? "Stay away from me, all of you and stop trying to control me." I bark
ASHER'S POVI woke up before Elysia the next morning and I lay beside her till she woke up.She stretched herself and her eyes fluttered open to see me leaning over her and looking at her with a smile on my face.She looked around the room in confusion at first, and it took a while before I realized that she was confused as to where she was. It was equally soothing to note that despite her confusion, Elysia was calm seeing my face there.She blinked rapidly for a while and sat up before she finally recalled where we were."For how long have you been awake?" She asked me."I woke up not long ago," I told her even while knowing that I actually didn't get much sleep because I was worried that the Alphas were going to try something while we were asleep."The meeting is scheduled to be held later today," I told her. "After that, we would go back home where it's peaceful, okay," I assured her.She snuggled closer to me and I put my arms around her protectively and rubbed her back. I heard h
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
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
