CRYSTAL'S POV "She saved my life, Xavier. At least show her your genuine gratitude." I said, tipping my chin at him."What if it's a setup? What if it's a trap, Crystal?" He countered.I puffed out an exasperated groan."Oh, for crying out loud. Why can't you both accept the fact that my life has just been spared because of Alicia!?" I glided my gaze from my best friend, Emily, to Xavier.He shook his head firmly."No , Crystal. I will not accept until I find out it is authentic. Nothing good comes from Alicia. You have to believe me. She's like a snake, ready to strike at every given opportunity. You can't trust her."I rolled my eyes."She's my friend now, okay guys? I will be the judge of that. It's all up to me to decide whether I want this friendship to continue or not. Are we clear?" I arched my eyes at the two of them.Emily heaved out a deep sigh."You're hardheaded, Crystal. Once you make up your mind on something, it's hard to convince you otherwise. Either way, I hope

ALICIA'S POV One step at a time, Alicia, and soon everything will fall into place. But when? At each passing minute, my patience wanes. The mere thought that right now, she must be in Xavier arms made my stomach turn in disgust. What if they already made love?! Arghhhhhh!! I used to be in his arms, and Xavier used to decorate my body with his kisses. He said, he loved every inch and curve of my body. He said he worshipped my body like he would worship a goddess. He said he couldn't do or breathe without me, that I complete him. He said I was the best thing that had ever happened in his life. He said that I was worth more than the throne to him. He said he'd go to war for me, risk everything for me. He loved me and was so obsessed about me that we had made almost everyday.What had happened to us?! Now, everything's changed. And it all started after he returned to the royal palace. He wouldn't look me in the eyes like he used to. It became worse when Crystal Thorne came into the

ALICIA'S POV "Of course, Alicia! What are friends for?"A self-satisfied smile curled up my lips at her response. Great! She was willing to have an open conversation with me, which also meant that I could ask her anything. Well, I hope so. I didn't want to sound so desperate or persistent. I don't want to do anything that might push her away.I cleared my throat and forced a tight-lipped smile at her."That's a relief, Crystal. Thank you."She furrowed her brows at me."Why would you think that, Alicia?"I clamped my lips together briefly before I responded."I've hurt you and spoke ill of you, Crystal. I thought you wouldn't accept me as your friend after everything that has happened between us."She smiled warmly at me, and to my surprise, she reached for my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze."Let bygones be bygones, Alicia. We are now friends, aren't we? Let's start acting like one."I returned her smile reluctantly. She's an easy catch. She fell right into my trap and even de

ALICIA'S POV She paused for a while before she gingerly stood up and turned to face me.An awkward small smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she tucked a wayward strand of her hair behind her ears.She chuckled."Why would you suddenly ask that, Alicia?"I shrugged. "Is it a crime? It is just a harmless question, Crystal. Why are you so worked up?" I quipped. Even though I knew the answer to the question, I wanted to hear it from her. Her response would determine the next questions I would ask her.She cleared her throat weakly as she tugged at her dress nervously. "Who would hate Xavier? He's a great person! And the more I get to know him, the more I realise that he's such an amazing person and that I had initially misjudged him just like I had misjudged you."I clamped my lips briefly before I responded."Are you sure?" I quizzed.She arched her brows at me."Sure about what?" "About Xavier Fernández. Are you sure you know him very well?"Her eyes pupils dilated."Fr

ALICIA'S POV It appeared that she wasn't about to fall for my tricks. She was still hell-bent on sticking with Xavier for as long as it took.How come I didn't see that coming? It was so damn obvious that she was helplessly in love with Xavier Fernández. I had mentioned that it would be an extremely difficult task to try and sway her heart and dissuade her from trusting Xavier, but that would be nearly impossible for someone who had already fallen head over heels in love with Xavier.It was an uphill task, and Crystal seemed to be hardheaded when it came to the man she loved.Now she was defensive. I had never seen her like that before. What do I do now? Was this it? Was this mission unsuccessful? Was there still something I could do? She looked like someone who had made up her mind, and there was no turning back.But I can never know until I try, right? But I hated to admit the fact that things were already looking so bleak. At this point, would I be able to make it? Was there st

ALICIA'S POV "Oh really? I knew I was right. Now spill the beans, or I'm not going anywhere with you!" I scoffed at him, my hands were still folded across my chest.He chuckled."C'mon, Alicia, let's retire to the chambers together first." He pleaded as he tried to reach for my hands again, but I wrenched away from him as if he were a plague."No! I insist! C'mon, say it." I goaded with raised eyebrows.He heaved out a deep sigh of resignation.I needed to know. It would determine whether I was going with him right away or not.He cocked his neck and cleared his throat."You think I didn't hear about your little heroic display yesterday?" He sniped.I groaned in annoyance. "Is that it?! Yes and?" I challenged.He chuckled, holding his hands up in defence."Nothing, Jeez, take a chill pill, will you? I just wanted to thank you properly as well for saving Crystal Thorne."I squinted at him suspiciously. "Really, Leo? Do you think I'm so dumb or what?" I glared at him."For heaven's

ALICIA'S POV "What?! I can't believe my eyes!" He cried in surprise. "When? How come?"I stifled a laugh and shook my head."I told you, Leo, but you doubted me. Crystal and I are now very good friends." I beamed.His brows pinched together in utter confusion as he tried to put the pieces together."How did you two become friends?" He quizzed.I chuckled. "C'mon Leo, is my character so bad that I can't even make friends?""Not friends with people you consider lowlife in your words." He squinted at me suspiciously.I bit my bottom lip. He was right. I wouldn't hold hands with a low life, talk less of being friends with them. And this is Crystal Thorne we were talking about! My ex-boyfriend's mate and a former slave and omega who I despised so much. So why the hell would I suddenly want to be friends with her?Nevertheless, I couldn't afford the truth getting out this soon, especially not to the hearing of Leo Fernández. He would nine out of ten jeopardise my plans for sure. Judgi

ALICIA'S POV As much as I wanted this, I just can't right now. I have far more important things to worry about. Damn it! Why was my heart beating so fast and the mound of flesh between my legs throbbing so badly? I should be furious with Leo for heaven's sake not getting aroused as fuck! Shit! I hate my body for doing this to me!I struggled violently in his arms as I attempted to break free, but his powerful hands held me prisoner."Put me down, Leo!" I cried, punching his chest with my small weak hands that were probably doing little to stop him.He chuckled as he strolled towards his chambers."Oh bloody fuck! Not your chambers, Leo. I told you I'm not ready to go back! Put me down for heaven's sake!" "Shhhhh," he cooed, "you're making a fuss, sweetheart. I know you want it so stop fighting it."I glared at him."You're just horny as fuck and now you wanna use me as a tool to fulfil your sexual urges and probably fantasies about Crystal while you're at it."A sly smile tweak

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. "She paused as she bit her bottom lip frantically before she continued again."I wanted to run away an

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
