-Aria-

I swallowed down the awkwardness I felt like a lump in my throat while I tried hard to maintain my composure. There was something about the presence of Adonai’s person standing behind me that made my body burn with what I could not tell.

As his hands worked effortlessly but slowly on the dress, I could not help but wonder how many dresses he had adjusted on women’s bodies for him to understand the art of it. However, I did not want the moment to end.

The very act of that made him look a perfect gentleman and even for the few minutes it lasted, I wanted to enjoy that side of him for as long as it did. I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate and not give way to the fantasies in my head.

I felt a hot breeze on my neck.

“Stop dreaming when I am right in front of you.”

I flashed my eyes open and he was really before me. I had not realized he was done already. I cleared my throat and looked away. He moved from the mirror in front of me so I would I see my reflection and the gown look

    -Aria-That was a very tricky question and I did not know how to answer it.“Why do you ask?” I asked, trying to sound casual while buying time to think of the perfect thing to say to him.“Well I have seen you a couple of times with him,” he said and I might have thought he sounded casual as well except for the way he looked me straight in the eyes as if daring me to say otherwise.“Dante is my brother-in-law-to-be,” I said guardedly. “And somehow, I am in a way related to him through his brother. I do not understand what you mean by if I like him.”I watched his expression for any signs. He smirked at me and I swallowed hard silently.“Dante is my brother alright,” he said. “But I want to be sure I am not sharing my woman with another man, and any man at that, my brother included.”“Huh?” I was not sure I got that, especially what he meant by ‘his woman.’“You are my mistress,” he explained, pointing his spoon towards me. “And you must know you belong to me and me alone.”I chuckled

    -Dante-I kept pacing around, trying to think of what to do but Asher would not quit talking.“Dante, you have not said anything since, what is going on? You told me you will make sure everything goes according to plan but look at what’s happened,” he kept ranting and I tried to ignore him.“Dante I am talking to you.”I paused and turned to look at him with a glare.“What is wrong with you?” I asked with a frown on my face. “I am trying to think.”“Well you have been thinking for too long now and I need to know what is going on.”I sighed and leaned on one of the old rugged tables in the old building which served as our secret meeting place in the heart of the forest. I don’t know what had interested Jasmine so much to have gone to make findings about Asher and brought out all these. But now I knew that not only was she a threat to him, but me as well, because we were in it together and she had yet again, ruined my plans to becoming the alpha of my pack.The plan I had that concerned

    -Dante-I cleared my throat lightly in amusement, squinted my eyes, and cocked my head in one direction. It was all I could do to maintain my composure. "And who the hell do you think you are to ask me such a question?" I asked, glaring at her. She folded her arms across her chest defiantly. "I do not have to think I am something before I can confront a man who sneaks in and out of a building I live in," she shot back. I took a few paces towards her. "What the hell do you mean?" I asked in a low tone, between gritted teeth. "You know damn well what I mean, Dante." "Have you been stalking me?" I asked her in a fierce whisper, and she scoffed. "Why would I do that? You are not even worth stalking. I would rather sit up all day picking seeds of the imp tree than stalk you. And why do you look like you have something to hide? Why are you so worried about that?" "I am not worried about anything, and I am not answerable to you," I scowled at her. "Listen, Jasmine, do not think

    -Aria-I gathered up the sheets to cover myself not because I was cold but because I needed something to express my mixed feelings to or on. Above all, I was more excited about my last night with Adonai. It had been blissful, more than I expected. It was more than a sexual act. There was a connection, one which I could not quite fathom.But I was quick enough to remind myself not to get carried away by that. I had a purpose and I must keep in mind my drive. I was getting somewhere and it seemed Adonai was beginning to have a soft spot for me.Yet, I was not too relaxed to know that my plan was moving rather slowly while I was heaping up more enemies on my heels. I knew Dante was not happy about the recent developments and the look in his eyes suggested he was up to something. Of course, he had been on my list to watch out for but even more now. He was as cunning as a serpent and he had something up his sleeves.I knew I had to be way ahead of the game to be able to get what I wanted b

    -Aria-A very strong wind almost swept me off my feet as the werewolf almost tore at me. But my eyes were closed, and my hands were protectively over my face. Yet it was more than a minute and the wolf was not on me, and the growl had gone wilder and tougher.I opened my eyes, my chest heaving heavily to find another wolf had darted the attack, and the two were fighting on the ground.The new wolf was bigger, fiercer, and stronger, and by the time the wolf that was going to attack me was able to get back up, it had sustained so many injuries. All the other wolves retreated, leaving me and my savior alone.I had not had the time to process all that when Prisca ran towards me from nowhere and held me in a firm embrace.How did she get here? I was too shocked to say anything as I kept looking at the wolf that just saved me.“Jasmine,” Prisca called worriedly, touching my face lightly. “Jasmine, are you okay? Did they hurt you?”She ran her hands over my body in concern. My eyes were stil

    -Ariel-I entered my room and closed the door with a loud bang. You entrust some bunch of idiots with a simple task and they ruin it. What is there in killing that girl? It would not take more than five minutes, yet they could not deliver.And that stupid Prisca of a girl, always found where she is not wanted. She had been the one who rushed to raise an alarm about the incident. I hissed loudly and sat heavily on the bed. I was this close, this close to getting rid of Jasmine yet again but she escaped. Thankfully, the incident would not be traced to me because they had managed to escape.Imagine they had been caught, they had better not mention my name because I would deny everything and make sure they get double sanctioned for false accusations on a royalty. I hissed again. Thinking about the whole stuff was so annoying and made my head bang. I felt like screaming out my frustration.I hate Jasmine so much I wish I could strangle her right away and not have to wait on a strategy that

    -Prisca-Everyone walked out and I was left alone with Jasmine in her room. I did not plan to stay any longer though, since I had kept my distance recently from her and she had not tried talking me into staying.But I was glad I was able to notice something was off and raised an alarm and now she was fine.“Uhm, make sure to rest okay? You will feel better,” I told her, making for the door. “I will be on my way now.”“Prisca wait,” she said softly.“Yeah? You want me to do something for you?” I asked with a raised brow.“Yes, I want you to sit with me,” she said with a small smile on her face, tapping the side of the bed close to her. I hesitated before walking towards her on the bed and sat down, still looking at her quizzically.“Is everything okay?” I asked her again and she sighed.“Everything is okay Prisca,” she replied. “I just wanted to thank you for saving my life.”“Oh that,” I smiled. “It’s nothing. Besides, you are my friend and I should look out for you. And you should th

    -Lara-I woke up with a frown on my face this morning. Today is already a bad day, I decided. Every day was a bad day as far as I am concerned and the alpha is not looking my way. What was more, that stupid Jasmine was rubbing herself all over the place acting like she was more special than everyone else.I was not happy that Adonai was entertaining her too and it was obvious he was beginning to have a thing for her. It makes me sick, knowing my chances with the alpha are getting slimmer by the day because of her.I do not want to be a mistress. The only difference between being a mistress and a maid is the services we render. Sometimes, our existence does not count in the empire. I wonder how Vera and Agatha and so comfortable with being that.As always, they were seated in the parlor we all shared, all of us, except that pompous Jasmine of course, who thinks she is too important to associate herself with us. She does not even eat with us.“Why is your face squeezed this way, Lara?”

    - 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. "You know Loveth is one of the best w

    - Loveth -"Hey," I heard someone call and turned round slowly, recognising the voice. Not again..."How are you doing today? Loser?""What do you want this time?" I asked Sheila with a sigh. She was facing my existence with those two puppets of hers."Funny of you to think I would want anything from you," she said and they giggled. Talk of sound effects."Well, you keep budging me, leaving me with no choice but to think you want something," I told her, and she frowned."Well maybe I do," she moved closer and pulled my hair to its roots. "Maybe I want you to shut your crab up when I am talking to you.""Let go of me," I sucked in the pain. I would not give her the pleasure. But she still held on, pulling it harder."Or what, you're gonna fight me like you did last time? You never learn, do you? You think you are something because Zafa let you off the hook the last time."I knew she was trying to provoke me to react so she would leverage on it but at the same time, I would not have he

    - Loveth -I did not know how I lost hold of my emotions and fell into Dante's ready arms. Love for Zafa was causing me so much pain, and he was doing it intentionally, yet I could not help it."What is the matter, Loveth?" Dante asked softly into my ears and I was tempted to tell him. I moved away and wiped my tears."I'll be fine," I said with a smile."Are you sure?" He asked with a look of concern on his face. "You can tell me anything.""I know and I appreciate you for your concern.""Hmm," he breathed out, observing me. "You promise?""Yeah." But even as I said that more tears gathered in my eyes, and I had to leave quickly.Immediately, I made a turn, and someone grabbed me roughly by the arm."What the hell," I gasped in pain and turned round to meet the angry eyes of Zafa piercing into mine."What is wrong with you?" He said between gritted teeth."You're hurting me," I struggled to get out of his grip while wondering what the hell he was talking about."Are you so cheap that
