-Asher-

“Oh so now you are ready to talk,” I raised a brow at her and she swallowed visibly. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. It was already obvious that what I had feared was true.

“Yes, indeed, I am not pregnant,” she finally said and my hands fell weakly beside me. It was not like I had not expected it, I had thought of the worst but hearing her say it, a confirmation of the reality I was in, was almost too much to bear. So the seer was right after all.

“Why…?” was the only word that could come out of my lips.

“I am so sorry but I did it too for us. I did it for your prestige.”

I glared at her.

“Can you listen to yourself, Crystal?” I shook my head at her. “You did it for my prestige? So what were you going to do when it was time for you to deliver? What would we present to the people since no baby is growing in you?”

“It does not matter,” she said. “We can tell them anything and they would believe. You did say the curse had been broken, so to make full proof of it, I sai

    -Prisca-I was enjoying Jasmine’s company more than ever before and she was doing better than the last few weeks. We discussed a whole lot of things and did everything together just like in the good old days and I was so happy about it.“The ball is getting closer and closer by the second,” I told her excitedly and she rolled her eyes at me.“For goodness sake Prisca, this is the third time you are telling me this. I wondered why you are this excited when you do not even have a date,” she said and I frowned at her.“Hey, that is not a nice thing to say to me.”“I am sorry,” she laughed and made to put a hand on me but I brushed her away. I was really upset with her. “Oh come on, don’t be so mad, I said I was sorry.”“I do not appreciate that you say such a thing to me, Jasmine,” I told her. “I have been complaining about this to you before now and you think it is fun to mock me and laugh it off at my face for not having a man by this age.”“Geez, Prisca…do you take it this seriously?

    -Adonai-I looked down from my window at the view of the pack below. It was a bright morning and the sun cast down beautifully on the houses. I could see the people going about their activities. I loved to look at the pack from here. It was a symbol of my strength and leadership as the alpha of my pack.My eyes caught Jasmine and her friend in the courtyard of the empire. There was something about this lady that always got me and I have been thinking of late, if I should overlook all she had done before now and take her back as wife.I knew it would be a breach of my pronouncement but then, it was still worth it. I needed a lady by my side and she seemed just perfect for me. She was intelligent and conversation with her flowed smoothly. I needed someone like that, someone I could talk to.It was not because I had any feelings for her, I assured myself. I did not love her. I need to fulfill a duty to myself and my people by making her my Luna.I had decided to speak to Dante about it.

    -Aria-I stood in front of the mirror and adjusted the gold necklace on my neck.“Wow,” Prisca gasped behind me. “You looked so breathtaking.”“Thank you,” I smiled and looked at her through the mirror. “You are not looking bad yourself.”She was wearing one of my clothes, or rather, Jasmine's clothes and it fitted her so well.We were preparing for the family dinner Ariel had spoken about. I did not want to go, but Ms. Ellen insisted I should be there since she threw the party for us.I was thinking about being there with Adonai and Dante. The two brothers were inevitable parts of my life which I could not do away with. Then there was Ariel too. Gosh, it was a gathering I did not want to be a part of.“What are you thinking about?” Prisca had noticed the lost look on my face. She had been talking to me but I was not listening.“Nothing,” I said and she sighed.“Are you worried about having to eat at the same table with two brothers your heart has been conflicted about?” she asked as

    -Adonai-I struggled hard at the dinner to concentrate on my food and not on Jasmine. But it seemed much easier at her end to be herself for she ignored me, acting like there I wasn’t there while she ate and laughed with so much carefreeness, talking with her friend, Prisca.I did not mind that she was happy, but I did not like that she was not being that jovial with me. I wondered why she was acting that way. Perhaps, she was doing it intentionally to get at me for something and I must say, she is a very good actress.I could not get over how beautiful and bright she looked, and I had to carefully hide my smile while watching her from the corners of my eyes so the other people in the room would not notice.Fuck, we were here as a couple. I mean, she is the main reason I had not declined to join the party. So why do I have to hold back from speaking to her? But I did not want to start the conversation either. Why don’t she just look in my direction and say something? I would take it f

    -Adonai-Jasmine kept murmuring gibberish in my arms while I carried her in my arms. I looked ahead so I would not be distracted from her pretty cute face until she pinched me hard and I stopped in my tracks to look at her.“What did you do that for?” I asked with a slight frown on my face. Forgetting for a moment, that she was drunk.“Why are you touching my sacred butts,” she said defiantly in a very funny way and I could not help but let out a chortle.“Your sacred what?”“My sacred butts,” she repeated grudgingly. “Don’t you dare touch them.”“Your butts are not sacred to me Jasmine,” I grinned down at her. “They belong to me and I can do whatever I want with them.”“No you don’t,” she frowned and began to wriggle in my arms.“Hey! Stay still, will you? You are going to fall,” I warned.“Get your hands off my butts,” she shot back fiercely.“Okay fine, but we need to get you to the room first. You can’t even walk on your own.”I shook my head, disappointed at the condition I found

    -Ariel-Shit!That was close. I was so close to having her until Adonai saved her. I almost had a panic attack when he took the drink from her and made to drink it.That would be a grave act and a course we would suffer for if anything had happened to the alpha. I knew I must have acted silly at the table but I was glad no one was suspicious. I had to take the drink from him quickly.I hissed inwardly. Why had he decided to take the drink that was not meant for him? And it seems the rumors were true, Adonai and Jasmine must definitely have something going on between the two of them. Why was he so concerned about what she would drink that he took it from her? The Adonai I knew would not look in her direction. Hell, he wouldn’t have even come to the dinner to be with her as a couple because she was only but a mistress, not a wife, and was not worth that time. But not only had he shown up, but prevented her death as well.If there were anyone who would have done that, it would have been

    -Aria-I opened my eyes slowly. They felt heavy and I closed them back again. The fresh scent of hot tea hit my nose and I opened my eyes again. I looked around, trying to think of where I was. The surroundings looked familiar but this was not my room. How did I even get in here in the first place? Why am I not in my room? I tried to recollect the events of the previous events and I winced from the sharp pain I felt in my head.I heard a door creak and, the owner of the room I was in, walked in. I sat up on the bed as he approached me.“I bet you slept well but did not wake up well,” he said with a grin while I tried to remember how I had ended up in his room and on his bed. But my brain was busy accessing the handsome face of the man who stood before me instead of doing the normal task of thinking.I would have hit my head in a bit to get my brain to think well, but it was banging heavily and I had to rest it back on the pillow.“What am I doing here?” I muttered more to myself but h

    -Aria-“Who is Aria?” I repeated, too shocked and short of words to think of any other thing to say.“I don’t know, you should tell me,” he said with a shrug and I felt my body go numb. How and where did Adonai know that I was Aria? Oh my goodness…Does it mean my secret had been blown out?I am so done for. I quickly looked up to see him watching me intently. I needed to see the accusation on his face, just to be sure, but I was not sure what that expression was on his face.Okay, Aria, calm down, I told myself. It is not that easy for him to know that I am not Jasmine so I need to stay calm and know how he had known my name and why he had asked.I ceased my brow in a puzzled expression to look like I had no idea what he was talking about.“I don’t understand,” I said shaking my head. “Why are you asking me who Aria is?”“Well you told me yesterday that your name was Aria,” he said and I almost popped my eyes out.“I told you that?”“Yes, you did, and told me something about having a

    - Zafa -I could not take it anymore, waiting for Loveth to finish whatever game it was she was playing, hide and seek or whatever. Ever since the day I had her, she kept running away. I did not know for how long she was going to keep doing that, so I approached her, bruising my ego in the process, but I did not mind.I waited for her in the lobby, and not long after, she came passing. Immediately she saw me, she turned around and went the other way."Loveth," I called, running after her. "Loveth please wait."I caught up with her and held her hand but she brushed me away."For how long are you going to keep running away from me?" I asked."For as long as I must remain alive," She said coldly."Why are you sounding this way? Even after what we had?""After what?" She feigned ignorance. "We never had anything. There's never been anything between us and even if there has been and you cared, you wouldn't have acted like a bitch to me.""But that was before now, Loveth. I thought that by

    - Aria -Someone walked into my room and I thought it was Loveth."You should knock on doors before walking into a room so you wouldn't see what the mouth will not be able to speak," I said playfully without looking up from the clothes I was knitting."I'm so sorry about that, Luna," Diane answered, and I shot my head up to look at her."What are you doing here?" I scowled at her and she moved back as if she was scared though I could see from her eyes that she was not shaken a bit by me"I am sorry, I just wanted to see you," she said with the innocence that she was devious of."And what for? How can you not knock before coming in?"Didn't your mother teach you any manners? I was at the brim of asking that but thankfully held it back."I'm so sorry, Luna; I did not mean to upset you."The incessant apologies were getting on my nerves already. Worse because I knew she did not mean any one of it.I took in a deep breath to steady myself."What do you want?" I spoke the words slowly as i

    - Adonai -Aria stopped dead at the door and I quickly pushed Diane off me. She looked surprised for a while that I did then followed my eyes and turned round to the door.She had no expression on her face when she saw Aria. Aria walked away quietly and I ran after her."Aria wait..."But she was too fast and I did not want to create a scene outside where the maids and guards were parading."Shit, shit, shit," I muttered under my breath as I returned to the room. "Why did you do that?"I turned to Diane and she looked confused."Do what?" She asked."Hug me!" I half yelled. "Why did you do it?""Why? I thought you said we were family?" She looked at me and her eyes were getting teary."Yes I did, but..." I did not know what to say anymore. How the hell do I convince Aria that what she saw was not what it looked like?"It's just a hug, right?" Diane said but I was not listening to her. I was thinking of Aria.- Aria -I closed the door behind me and breathed out heavily. It can't be wh

    Dante -How can I escape this? The guilt came washing down on me all over again and now Adonai wants that lady to remain in the palace. It was her knowing eyes and strong resolve about her mother's death that gnawed me the most. She seems to know more than we think she does.I couldn't even sleep well, filled with the fear that she might creep in on me. Those ceaseless dreams I had sponsored my worry. There has to be a connection but only I knew and felt it.I strolled out of the palace to clear my head but even while I walked, the same thoughts clouded my mind. I did not know how long I had walked till I began to see trees and realised I was approaching the border.I stopped and sat on a big stone to rest. Not long after, an arrow flew past me, missing my skin with just an inch. I jumped up, and a werewolf pinned me down, scratching my face. I winced and struggled to get it off me but it was quite strong.It stopped fighting and transformed into a beautiful young lady. We remained s

    - Adonai -"I don't think this is a good idea, Adonai," Aria said. "I understand you want to console Diane as much as you can but having her in the palace is not a good idea.""And why is that?" I wanted to know."I just don't feel comfortable with it," she crossed her arms over her chest"You were the one who accepted her as a cook here in the first place. You did not see that as a problem until now that we know she is the daughter of a woman who was like family to me. Come on Aria.""You don't understand. It's not about her being Maria's daughter. It's her sneaky behaviour I am concerned about," she stated."She must have acted that way because of the intentions she came with, to find out about her mother's death," I explained, and when I did, I realised that it was no solid reason."She believed we killed her mother!" Aria stressed. " I wonder what gave her the belief but her resolve seems strong. All the words in that meeting did not make any sense to her. I am worried that she st

    - Dante -I took two steps backwards instinctively when Diane revealed who she was."I need an explanation as to how my mother died," she said amidst tears, and I looked at Adonai."I have no explanation for that, Diane. I am so sorry for the death of your mother but you must know that we all felt the same," he consoled."You leave me with no choice than to think you killed her then," she said."Why would I kill your mother? She was like a mother to me too. Hell, she took care of me from childhood. She has served this household since my parents were alive. You think I would want to eliminate her?""Everyone knows you, alpha Adonai. You don't have feelings and you don't care about my mother. Stop acting like you do. Because if you did, you would have tried finding those that killed her. But ever since I stepped into the palace, I never heard of you trying to. The only thing you've got are stories. I demand to know how my mother died and why she had to die."My heart ached within me. I

    - Zafa -It was such a dramatic evening. I couldn't help admiring Adonai for how well he solved everything. Ken walked away shamefully with the family he almost lost from the fire he created. Those innocent kids would have died because of his foolishness. I hope this teaches him the lesson he has refused to learn all these years.Everyone began to disperse, and I lost track of Loveth in the crowd. My eyes had been on her until she suddenly disappeared. I had wanted to have a word with her after everything had quieted down, but she was just out of my sight the moment I blinked my eyes.Was she avoiding me? Not after the hot night we had, right? Perhaps, she was just shy, or was it the moral guilt? I could not tell which it was. You can never tell with women.I might have to wait till she was done with the running and hiding games. One thing was certain, she wouldn't run forever.- Dianne -I dismissed the rest of the maids after dinner and finished the rest of the clean-up, humming a s

    - Zafa -I woke up with a hangover and rolled off the bed. I walked straight to the bathroom to have a bath and felt much better afterward.I returned to find only a heap on the bed. Loveth was nowhere to be found. Now I couldn't remember if she was here when I had gotten off the bed or if she had left earlier.The memories from the previous night came rushing in and I felt a wave of excitement run through my veins. She had come to me.I knew she wouldn't be able to stay away for so long. That's my girl. Which makes things easier for me. I had thought it would take more to get her back but apparently, she was not as hard as she imagined herself to be. Leaving the army to stress me when all she wanted was a good fuck.I would have to let her know though, that doing what we did doesn't mean I had feelings for her. Sex wasn't love. After all, she was the one who came to me. Secondly, I was drunk so it wasn't me taking advantage of her.I knew how women can get when it comes to having sex

    - Zafa -What the hell is wrong with me? Why have I allowed my emotions to get to me and make me treat Loveth the way I did?I did not mean to hurt her, even though I was upset with the way she was always with Dante. Now she has withdrawn from the army, and not only do I need her there, but that would mean she would be away from me.I can't have Loveth out. She is one of the best warriors I have."You can't resign...please," I instinctively added the last part. This is not the time to let my ego control my decisions, so I dropped it off and pleaded. But not even that could persuade her. She was rigid, so I decided to meet Aria instead. Perhaps she would listen to me.Aria had a blank look on her face when I spoke to her."Well, what do you want me to do?" She finally said when I was done."You could help me talk to her," I told her."I'm sorry but I can't. Loveth has made her choice and I respect her decision," she said."Luna please," I pleaded.
