CRYSTAL'S POV"I take back the words I said to you earlier. You're free to do whatever you want from now on. Is there somewhere you would like to go for a start?" His words were like a melody to my ears, and they instantly sent relief coursing through every fibre of my being. It was like his words were the keys to unchaining the shackles that have been holding me in bondage for too long. Freedom? Was this what freedom felt like? I hadn't even experienced it yet and I was already feeling relieved. It was exhilarating for some reason and I didn't want it to stop. Anticipation and excitement sloshed into my lungs as those words rolled from his mouth.But where do I want to go? Is there a place I've been dying to go to? I don't remember where. But I would love to go outside the Palace and take a walk.I cleared my throat and smiled appreciatively at him.First, he got me some nice-looking flowers and now he was willing to give me freedom. Things were changing rapidly and I should be ve

XAVIER'S POVShe looked utterly baffled that I was willing to give her the freedom she deserved. She had suffered for so long, and it was about time she had a taste of what actually living was like.People are naturally selfish and if given the opportunity of even having a glimpse of luxury, especially after having suffered in all of their days in miserable conditions, their priority would be to look out for themselves and not others. But Crystal Thorne was different. She was selfless and kindhearted. I've never seen anyone like her after my mother passed away. For some strange reason, the more time I spent with her, the more I realised the similarities she shared with my late mother. Dear mother, was this a sign? Was she the one for me?Now she's fighting for her people who were still in the slums. She was advocating for a better feeding system for them. Honestly, I never realised how poorly the omegas at the slums were being fed during Luna Rachael's regime. When my mother and fa

XAVIER'S POV After our late breakfast, I got into the shower to have my bath since I didn't earlier this morning. I had to rush to get the flowers for her. I'm glad she liked it.After the quick shower, I changed into something simple and light since we were merely going for a short walk around the gardens outside the palace.We rested for a while and played a game of darts. I taught her how to play since she didn't know how to play any game at all. I mean, all they knew was pain and suffering. They worked their asses off and had little or no time for pleasure.It was indeed sad, and I understand why Crystal was so hell-bent on helping one of her own. This was because she had lived in their shoes and understood their pain more than anyone.After a quick game of darts, we got ready to hit the gardens.We stepped out, and I extended my hand to her.She gulped and blinked uncontrollably before she gingerly slid her slender hands into mine. I gently squeezed her hands in mine and offere

ALICIA'S POVAfter Leo had instructed me not to enter his private chambers for two days, I had been bored to death all alone in the guest room. It was luxurious like he said; the bed was big and comfy, and the shower was good but not as great as the one in Leo's private chambers. Overall, the room was reasonably spacious for a person but not extremely wide in width and length like Leo's. I missed my favourite makeup mirror. It was just two days like he said, so I can manage until then. Hopefully, he doesn't change his mind again. Recently, Leo has been acting pretty strange and unpredictable, making it difficult for me to easily manipulate him like I used to. And his half-brother, Xavier, was no different: they had been acting strangely recently. And whose fault was that?I balled my hands into a tight fist as my spine bristled with unbridled contempt and rage. It was Crystal Thorne's fault! That wacky slave girl! Where on earth did she even come from? And why the hell was Leo su

ALICIA'S POVHe chuckled. "Did she have to do something to make me fall for her, Alicia?" He said, a sly grin blooming on his lips.My stomach churned in disgust. Was he already falling for her? Or has he fallen already? I hated where this conversation was going, but I had no choice but to press further to find out what exactly was going on.I forced a lump down my throat."I don't understand what you mean, Xavier. You only chose her as your mate because of the video, so what changed?"He shrugged and glanced over his shoulders to look at her, and as if on cue, Crystal turned to stare at us for the first time. Her soft ash-coloured orbs were fixated on me as she slowly rose to her feet, her mouth agape in surprise.My lips thinned. I felt numb all of a sudden. To think that this girl won Alpha Xavier's heart was beyond a mystery to me. And she didn't even have to do anything?! But how was that possible?! I had to fight my way to win Xavier's heart before we started dating, and af

CRYSTAL'S POV The walk back to the palace was unbearably silent. I tugged at my dress discreetly as I bit my bottom lip.Why was Alicia Evans at the garden? And I wondered what they must have been talking about. She didn't look so happy when she stormed off in rage. Plus, the final look of resentment she shot at me indicated that there was some sort of warning she wanted to pass to me. But I had no idea what she was implying. I was clueless. All I know was that Alicia loathed slaves and omegas because she regarded us as low grades and not a person. So, it was not surprising that she was angered that Xavier was getting close to me and not her, especially considering the fact that the both of them were once a couple.Gee, it wasn't my fault that Xavier suddenly changed. Even I was taken aback when Alpha Xavier appeared with the banquet of flowers. I was dumbfounded and mortified all at the same time. Who would have thought that Emily, my best friend's advice, was finally beginning to

ALICIA'S POVI put on a disguised black cloak covering my head and wore a mask. I inspected my disguise at the new mirror that had been replaced after I broke the original one.Perfect! No one would recognise that it was me. Tonight, I had to make preparations for tomorrow. According to my source, Crystal Thorne would be getting set to pay a visit to the famous Victoria Lake just a couple of miles away from the Royal Palace at dusk. And the good part was that Xavier wasn't coming with her. After giving myself one final look in the mirror, I exited my room in the dead of the night and crept through the hallways. I ducked and glanced over my shoulders occasionally, ensuring that no one was following me.I can't afford to allow anyone to get wind of my plans, or else I was done for even before it happened. Crystal Thorne must face the music. She had to be taught a lesson not to mess with the royals. It was about time I put her back in her place.After all the insults and embarrassmen

ALICIA'S POVAfter about nineteen seconds, the chubby guard brought Lucas out."Here you go, young lady." He announced as he closed the door behind him.Lucas shot him a curious look and then looked at me, eyeing me closely."Henry, who is this woman that wants to see me?" He asked the chubby guard. So his name is Henry, huh?Henry shrugged and gestured to me."Why don't you ask her yourself? She's right in front of you." I chuckled and then cleared my throat."Hi, Lucas. Can you spare me some minutes? I have a job for you." I said firmly.He arched his brows at me."Who may you be? How do you know my name?" I puffed out a deep sigh."Henry, can you give us some privacy?" I peered up at the chubby guard.He reluctantly nodded and disappeared into the quarters, shutting the door.Ensuring he was out of earshot, I turned to face the puzzled Lucas."I don't want anyone to know about this. Not a single soul should know that I'm the one ordering you to do this. Do you understand?" I whi

LEO'S POVOh shit! This wasn't good! Crystal was going to be kidnapped. What if I was already too late. I didn't exactly hear everything that they said. But I knew something was off, and I was already too late by the time I got to Xavier's chambers. I came just in time to see two men clad in black clothes and a mask covering their faces, carrying Crystal after drugging her. They put her in a horse-drawn carriage.I tried to follow the carriage as discreetly as I could until they stopped at a cavern beneath a high mountain.Damn it, but even if I wanted to rescue her , I was outnumbered.There was no way I could make it at this rare. I would just end up getting myself killed.Then what do I do at this rate? This was a matter of life and death. Crystal was in dire danger. My mother and crazy girlfriend had completely gone bonkers! I needed to get Crystal out of there as fast as possible before things got out of hand.I had no idea what exactly the two women wanted to do to Crystal. H

CRYSTAL'S POV It's has been a lonely evening....a lonely day, in fact. Xavier was hardly around. He had been very busy with having ceaseless meetings with his uncle, and tonight, he had mentioned earlier that he won't be available until later in the night or early in the morning so I shouldn't wait up for him.I puffed out a deep sigh. He had been very busy these past few weeks. I heard the coronation was drawing to a close. No wonder the discreet meetings with his uncle have risen. He had been working so hard with little time to rest. I hoped he was doing okay? I had insisted earlier that he took today's off, but he wouldn't listen.I slid out of bed and headed to the balcony for the view and to get some fresh air. Maybe that would help me relax and sleep better. Lately, I've been finding it somewhat hard to fall asleep easier.I also wonder if Martin was doing alright ever since he went exiled. At any rate, it was way better than remaining here. Alicia would have made life a livi

ALICIA'S POV Shit! Shit! Shit! As if things couldn't get any worse than it already was!Three days had passed, and I didn't hear a single word from Martin anymore. I had instructed Lucas to check on him in his quarters, but he was nowhere to be found. He didn't even report to work the following morning. So I had Lucas go to his bakcksmith shop discreetly to find out if he was there. But he wasn't....infact, until now we had no idea where he would have run off to.It's been a week and not a single word. What could have happened? If he had exposed my plans to Crystal or Xavier, I would have known by now. But something was strange. What did Martin do? He probably ran off somewhere. He was a spy, after all. It was easier for him to adapt.But damn it! I didn't expect my plans to be ruined. I invested so much into this, and yet I have nothing to show for it! What the hell was happening?! Did Crystal do or say to him? What really went down? I wouldn't be able to know when she tells me

CRYSTAL'S POVI was such a fool! How come I didn't realise that Alicia had been playing a trick on me all these while?! Xavier and Emily, my best friend, warned me, and yet I didn't listen because I wanted to give Alicia the benefit of the doubt for once. I had hoped that something good was going to come out of our friendship after she supposedly rescued me that day. Rescued? But come to think of it though...now that Martin had exposed the truth, what if Emily had been right that the whole idea about Alicia randomly showing up that day and most especially in the nick of time to save me, sounded so thought out and planned. What if Alicia also had a hand in that as well? She had insisted that Xavier get me a new bodyguard because she had been plotting to bring one here herself, which was Martin. How come I didn't see that coming?! I was so blinded to the fact that Alicia was turning a new leaf and wanted the best for me. What a fool I had been! Now, thanks to the moon goddess for swa

MARTIN'S POV A video?! Why does this sound so familiar. "What?! What did Leo do to you if you don't mind my asking? Did he-""No!" She blurted out before I could finish. I didn't want to complete that statement in the first place, silently hoping it wasn't true ."No, he didn't! I'm glad he didn't." She said shakily, and I couldn't help but feel the pain seared through my chest, watching how hurt she looked.She must have been through a lot. I wondered what really went down that day...Thankfully, Leo didn't rape her as I thought. She paused and sucked in several deep breaths before she continued:"He tried to have sex with me but I'm glad it didn't go through....so a video was made and I was threatened that the video would go public if I didn't do as I was told. I had no choice. Before I could gather my thoughts together, I ran out. I was mortified, broken, and scared to death.

MARTIN'S POV I resumed work the following day as usual, but this time, it was different. The emotions writhing inside of me were relentless. What do I do? I was restless, and I couldn't even concentrate on my job.I think the moment of truth was finally here, and for the first time, I was going to follow my heart to hell with the consequences. I would rather voice out the truth that will set me free than bottling up all these lies and guilt nibbling at me steadily.As usual, we met for her morning run, and when we slowed down for a break, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to tell her the truth. At this rate, what was even the point of hiding the truth?! It was utterly useless because I quit! I wouldn't stand by, fold my hands, and watch as an innocent, young lady's life was torn apart, and I had a hand in her destruction. No! I wouldn't be able to live with myself after that. I would blame myself for as long as i lived! So instead, why didn't I try to make things right?G

MARTIN'S POV I sucked in a deep breath as I swallowed.She arched her brows diametrically at me as she peered up at me, eyeing me closely.I cleared my throat."What brings you to this crappy side of the royal palace. It was rare seeing you here at this hour. This place doesn't suit your fancy, my lady." I said, with a sly smile curling up at the corner of my lips with an intent to taut her.She rolled her eyes as she moaned in exasperation."Oh for fuck's sake, Xavier drop the stupid formalities and step aside!" My eyes widened slightly as curiosity creased my brows.Don't tell me she was planning to step inside my shithole of a room!"Um...what on earth are you planning to do, Alicia?" I dipped lower as I whispered fiercely, looking both ways to ensure that no one was within earshot and in sight.She waved me off and pushed past me as she entered my tiny room. But the good part was that she didn't have to duck her head like me.I puffed out a deep sigh of resignation. There was

MARTIN'S POV Days passed by like a blur and then weeks and before I realised what was happening, two months had gone by. And in all of those times, a day didn't pass without my mind being preoccupied by the thoughts of Crystal Thorne, the lady whom I served under. The lady I had sworn to protect with my life. And you know what? I would gladly lay down my life for her. No one deserved that, but Crystal Thorne! Where on earth has she been all these while?! If only I had been a little earlier, we could have ended up together. Hopefully..... Well, at least, she wouldn't have had the opportunity of even crossing paths with Alpha Xavier Fernández. If only I had come into her life earlier. Maybe she didn't have to suffer. We could have run off somewhere and started a new life as a couple who shared a somewhat similar past. But was it too late?Maybe it wasn't too late after all.... how else could the both of us have met anyway?! Crystal Thorne had been locked up within the four walls of t

MARTIN'S POV"I'm sorry once again, Crystal," I said again when we were outside alone and after we had jogged around the open fields of the royal palace.She shook her head frantically."It alright, Martin. It is fine. I understand that you're still trying to find your feet," she paused as she shot me a rueful smile."You know, I used to be like you when I first started my job. I was confused and scared. I wasn't sure about what to do. I was so clueless like a fawn parted from its mother."I smiled warmly at her as I listened to her.I couldn't help but admire her beauty. She was indeed breathtaking. On top of that, she was a strong young lady who had survived a lot. I owe her some respect for that!"Thank you for understanding, Crystal," I said gently, shooting her a wide grin.She was not only empathetic to my plight, she was gentle and nice towards me.I wish to know more about her, and it had been eating deep at me. The curiosity to know what lies in the deepest recess of her he
