Elysia’s POV:The next few days had me trying to avoid Alana and her numerous dramas but it was hard because she was always hovering around the house and the alpha, I could not actively avoid her while doing chores for him.I occasionally bumped into her walking around the house with a lifted chins and a twisted nose. I tried to not pay any attention to her but she managed to find a way to get on my nerves. I usually just walked past with a snort.The alpha on the other hand was nowhere to be seen all through the day, he must have been really very busy. So I was alone in his room while cleaning it. That would have made my job a bit easier, but of course, Alana kept showing up in the room now and again.The last time she came, I quickly looked back thinking it was the alpha. My face dropped to the ground when Alana's mischievous face came into view.Why was I thinking about him? Did I by any chance miss him?I huffed and simply shrugged my shoulders. There was no way I would miss him.
ELYSIA'S POV:A thick blanket of silence was spread around the room as Nikolai stood there, his eyes moved from me to the nurse who was standing there with her head bowed and her eyes darting all over the ground like she was scared of lifting them."What is going on here?" Nikolai asked again, coming fully into the room, his eyes grew dark as they concentrated on the nurse."I... I was just trying to..." She stuttered."Next time you should just do your job and leave Instead of being cruel to patients." He reprimanded. "Now quick finish your work and leave."Her hands were shaky as she grudgingly bent over me, and began fixing up the drip.Her face was flushed and I could tell she was embarrassed.She shuffled her feet and made noisy sounds as she dragged herself out of the room as soon as she was done."Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked as he walked towards the bed to sit close to me.I simply nodded my head, still overwhelmed by the shock instilled in me by the nurse's cruel actions.
CHAPTER TWENTY ONEASHER'S POVMy head turned towards the direction Elysia went and my eyes followed her till she was out of sight. Why was she so aggressive towards me? And why did she flare up when I asked after her arm?I turned back to look at Nikolai who was standing in front of me and staring at me, I could see a hint of disappointment in his eyes and I had no idea why he was looking at me like that."What happened to her arm?" I asked him.Nikolai sighed and leaned on the wall, his two hands in his pocket."She fell off one of the shelves in your library, presumably while cleaning it for you, and broke her arm."My eyes widened at the discovery, she fell off the shelf while cleaning? How come I was just finding out about it now?His jaw was tightened as he spoke, and the way he made it seem like it was my fault caused my conscience to prick on me a bit and I knew he did that on purpose.It was indeed my fault, I should not have given her such task at that hour.I swallowed hard
It was good to see that I could now get up from my bed without wincing from the pain caused by my broken arm. It had been over a week since the incident and my hand was fully healed. That also meant that I was going to start doing chores once again but I didn't mind, I had been used to doing chores all my life.But the unbearable part of it was having to deal with not just Alana now, but a combination of her and another entity bearing her personality, in the person of mitchelle. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if they were related in any way to be able to dish out such cruelty and rudeness in an almost equal proportion.Having to deal with both of them during the past few days had been frustrating.The Alpha on the other hand had been nowhere in sight within the last few days, he had been so busy that I had not gotten the opportunity to see him.The harsh knock on my door brought me back to reality once again and caused me to almost jump out of my skin. I scurried out of bed, my fee
ELYSIA'S POV:I was sitting on my bed and watching the clock tick slowly and then it was night.The Alpha's offer still lingered in my mind and I could not help but think about it.Even though at the moment I exactly had no idea what to do, I was certain as hell that there was no way I would let him win, going to his room would only mean that he won.I sat still on my bed with my arms folded while I watched the clock tick into the night.My hands held onto the sheets on my bed while my fingers dug into my bed.As bad as I really wanted him, I had already made up my mind that I was not going to the alpha, he can go ahead and fuck himself.I was about to get into bed and pull the covers over myself when I suddenly heard a sharp knock on my door. I was forced to throw the sheets off and sat up immediately on my bed.There was only one person who possessed the strength and the guts to knock on my door like that, I knew it was the Alpha.The thought of him standing outside my room and knoc

ELYSIA'S POV:It was cold by the time I woke up the next morning, and I was alone in bed. The cold I felt despite being covered with the sheets gave me a feeling of emptiness, especially since I found myself all alone in Asher's bed that morning.While I was still trying to gather myself and think about last night's event, the bathroom door opened and the Alpha walked into the room all dressed up, his hair looked ruffled and he brushed it backwards with his fingers.He cast me a simple glance and looked away."You are awake." He said coldly simply watching the space in front of him like it was the most interesting thing in the world, like what we just had meant absolutely nothing to him.I scoffed inwardly like it wasn’t like I expected it to mean anything in the first place.He fumbled in his wardrobe for a while and eventually pulled out a piece of clothing then turned back to me."I will call you again when I have a need for you, but for now you can get out." He said and walked out
ASHER'S POV:I returned to my room that night feeling a bit exhausted from the day's work. I thought a cold shower would do much to relieve the stress of the day while I await Elysia's arrival.Would she even show up?There was definitely no way she wouldn't, after all the pleasure I gave her the previous night, she certainly would come back for more.A smirk played on my lips as I stepped into the washroom to take a shower.Last night's event started to play on my mind once again, and I suddenly started feeling myself getting hard at the thoughts of her.By the time I was done in the shower, I went back to my room and lay on the bed awaiting Elysia's arrival. My eyes focused on the ticking clock hanging on the wall.My heart beat erratically as with each tick sound the clock made, I felt the excitement of the anticipation of her arrival.Soon, I was starting to get impatient since she seemed to be nowhere in sight as time went by.Thirty minutesOne hourAnother hour passed and she w
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
