SIRAI swallowed the lump in my throat. They may be Alphas but wars started like this and I couldn’t help but think that I didn’t wish for one to start with my situation. I wanted to tell Alpha Eros that it was fine, but I had no courage to say a word.The older Alpha and the younger Alpha glared at each other, and finally, Cansil’s father pulled his head down in shame. I was stunned like the vast majority of the pack at the change in demeanour. Alpha Eros wasn’t a man that one could ignore. His force and power stood unmatched.“When I ask a question, I demand a response,” he snapped.“It’s just that this girl,” Alpha Rivera looked up as he pointed at me. “She is responsible for Cansil’s condition, and I would have to deal with her.”Alpha Eros gave him a look and stepped even closer to him. It made my throat tighten in anxiety, and I held my outfit even tightly on my hand.“Your son comes here on his accord. It is on him if things went off this time. The young maiden never told him t
SIRAI turned the doorknob slightly, and peered in, but I couldn’t see anything. It was too dark out. I opened the door even more, and stepped in. At first, I couldn’t see anything. Then, my eyes started to adjust to the darkness. I could see someone at the corner, and she was shaking profusely. There was definitely something wrong.Was that Alpha Eros?Should I turn back?The fact I had already come this far, and was thinking on all these was a bit laughable. I sighed lightly as I made a move towards him, keeping my steps light. As I moved closer, his scent became even more intense. It was him. I threw caution to the wind, and I ran over to where he was. On getting to him, I noted that Alpha Eros eyes were squeezed shut, and his teeth was clattering. He looked so weak, and I knew I had to do something. This was the first time I had see the Alpha this way. I hesitated for a fraction of a second, and placed a hand on Alpha Eros forehead. He was burning up, and it made me so nervous.
SIRAThere was something about the way he had walked that was both rude and shy. It was as though he had no idea what to tell me, and he was trying to run far from me. That was a crazy assumption to make, but nonetheless, it was what I felt at that moment, and it didn’t need to be true.I sighed as quickly went into his bathroom, and poured water on my skin, while brushing my teeth. I dressed up in the same outfit I wore, and I didn’t really care that much because I was not supposed to see anyone else.It was when I finally got to the main gate, and heard my parent’s soft voices that I realised that Alpha Eros had been right. My parents were outside and they were both looking at Alpha Eros as though they were start struck. I had no idea what to do with that.“Like I said, I really apologise for keeping your daughter overnight. I know she is an unwed maiden and her dignity ought to be intact, in other to get potential suitors, and that is what I would be able to don now. This would be
SIRAI swallowed hard as I looked right at him. His expression was so stern, but it was evident that he meant every word he said. I didn’t know how to feel about that, so I avoided saying much. He was looking at me still, expecting me to say something.“I…” I cleared my throat. “There is nothing wrong. I’m not hungry, so I decided to stay back,” I said simply.He scoffed as he walked out.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at that. What was the use of asking me those questions when he didn’t even care? I would never be able to understand Alpha Eros, and that was saying something. He was the most confusing and thoughtless soul that I had ever met.I pulled out my book, annoyed that I had started softening myself towards him, and now, that was all for nought. I had no idea how to feel, but I was not feeling right one bit. I felt so hurt and really bitter about everything. It made me wish to drown in pain and sorrow. I just didn’t wish for this to happen anymore.“Here,” Alpha Eros said as
SIRA“I can’t believe that you’re here,” Cansil said the moment he let me go.I chuckled as I sat down on the chair. It felt nice seeing him in comfy shorts and T-shirt. He was the exact opposite of Alpha Eros who was dressed in dark jeans and a long shirt that showed off his taut physique. I focused my attention back on Cansil. “I had to come after what happened the other time. I really felt guilty about the whole thing, and I…” I trailed off with a sigh.Cansil shook his head. “It wasn’t your fault that any of that happened, and if I was given another chance, I will do it again if it means that I would have to protect you. You have been such a nice soul to me, and how would I tolerate anyone hurting you?” He asked softly.I smiled. “You have always been so kind, and I’m really grateful to you for that. There is so much that is needed to be done, and it would be so nice to be able to handle the most out of it. I’m sure that those girls…”I shook my head, and he stopped at once. “Can
SIRAMy hands shook in fear at Alpha Eros reaction to his food. I had assumed he was going to like it, but it was obvious that he did not. I just didn’t have an idea on what I was going to do to handle this.“I’m sorry…”“What? Sorry?” He asked in disbelief, causing my heart to skip a beat. “Sira, you made magic. This is the most delicious food you’ve made for me in a long time, and I honestly can’t get enough of it. It’s everything and more,” he gushed.I blinked in shock as I watched his attack the food. There seemed to be no pause in between breaks, and I knew by the way he was eating that he was definitely losing it. I can’t believe I got scared for nothing.Retreating slowly out of the dining and to clean up other areas, because I was amped as fuck. I couldn’t help but watch him with each steps I took. Despite the way he was rushing the food, he made everything seem so good, and right.There was no limit to his cuteness and beauty. My back hit the wall, and I was taken aback at t
SIRAThe whole thing was a shock to me, but I guess it had to be done. With the way things were going it seemed to have been the only way for things to happen now. I just wanted peace to reign, but I had to stop being a coward.Cansil was right for reporting the girls and I would not change a thing about the situation now. There was no way I would take half of what I took the other time for anyone. I would do all I could to make sure that I keep myself grounded, and fight for myself. This was the only way to establish myself as who I am, and I would not stop till the last moment.I would have to make that this was something that I really needed, and I would get to it pretty soon. There would be lots of changes soon.“Let’s go to class. I believe everything would be fine now that you have felt was the truth. There would be completely truth now, and I would have to make sure of that no matter what. I wasn’t going to pull back for anyone now,” I assured Cansil.He beamed at me, and that
SIRAI didn’t understand what to do right now because I have never been so confused as this in my life. Ever since this whole problem came up, I was trying to be in my lane and mind my own business, but that wasn’t happening right now.A slam!We all turned to see Neera coming right at me. I had no idea what was going on with her, or why she was behaving the way she was. Everything about her was simply off and there was no way things would could get better with her mannerisms. Why couldn’t she just spare me for once? Was that too much to ask?She finally stood right in front of me. She glared at me for a full minute, before dragging me by the hand. There was a malicious anger in her that I had never thought that I could feel such anger.This was the second tome that she was crossing her limits, and I honestly wasn’t finding this right. Nothing about this situation was making me happy one bit, and I wished with all I had that she would crumble. It would be best for her to be completel
SIRADriving down there was the hardest thing ever for me at this moment, I hated the guilt that filled me as his scent filled that call, it was there every where it was infinitely him. How I was suffocated in hisspace in a way I couldn’t find unpleasant.I drove with caution and speed, already my phone was ringing and looking at it, it was him.I tore my gaze from the phone, I didn't want the situation where he would show up and ruin thing's.My hand fit the wheel, as I sat in the driver’s seat with an unpretentious confidence and courag, I was driving crazily, I drove above the speed limit as if to maintain the façade that I was really scared.The wind pulsed through me and the music it played in my ears was melancholic.It reminded me of the soft sound of fabric hitting the floor in death, or the sound Of teeth on the nape of ma neck, the tug of my hair and strangle.What ever way it came to my mind, the wind reminded me of death.My pulse drifted between my heart as I felt i
SIRAAt first when he talked about seeing me the previous night my heart had skipped, for some funny reason I knew that Cansil coming here could spell trouble for the little bit of peace that was around.Mu heart still felt heavy, in a way I couldn't change the fact that I had been trailed here just last night.That bit of darkness was still around me unwilling to depart, it was as though enveloping everything that had for do with my soul at that moment.While all of this is going on, he came in with another bad newsWhat?It was hard to believe what had just happened under our own noses, my finger's were literally trembling.It meant no one was saved, I was starting to think this had to do with both Davina and Neara, but at the moment I know that bringing that up would disrupt anything that was going on at the moment.I could not think about what to do about the whole situation, I was confused about what to do and how we were going to go about it."Are you sure of what you are sayi
EROSThe next two weeks were all about Sira and me. We spent every moment ofevery day together. I was letting her in slowly into my life In a way I never thought possible.At that moment she was no longer Sira the maid, she was more precious to me than even that, She practically moved into my room at first I thought I was mean to her by taking her phone, so as the days proceeded I handed it back to herShe was over.every night and I loved it. I knew it was still very important for me to connect with her as I could picture myself starting a family already—She was carrying my child anyways.At that moment , I felt everything was perfect. It suddenly seemed like all I had to do was trust her, it seemed like the missing piece, perhaps if I had dropped my pride at the beginning, it would have been so easy for me to deal with.And yes, her mother came in once in a while. Suddenly it looked like I was standing right at the end of the tunnel with the light all shining down right at my fac
SIRASeeing no one I hastened my step, I could literally feel the sound coming from my heart as it was heavy with a thundering sound.“Who is there?” I breathed.I directed a sarcastic gaze at the dark part of the wood.As the hour minute ticked I could hear it in my heart, I took steps back cautious that I wasn't alone.The words I was going to say were pierced in my chest. I knew it had to be something out there or someone… It hurts all the same, the manner at which my heart was beating.A frustrated sound traveled up my throat, but I kept it locked in. It was better to be quiet than having any emotions at the moment. I avoided the gaze into the dark, though it burned me deep in my soul.The Pressure in me burst into tingles and flame. My veins burned up like a line of fire willing to ignite shooting flames of light behind my eyes.A shudder fluttered through my body as anxiety poured through my bloodstream, before a languid heat spread.As I calm down, I realized my leg wa
SIRA POV.I stood still, obviously shocked, this was obviously what I dreaded the most.I really don’t like Eros and Cansil meeting each other, because it doesn’t end well.“So this is it Sira?” He asked me with a very annoyed glare which managed to send chills down my spine.“You should mind the way you speak to her,” Cansil stepped in and that was when Eros faced him with an irritated look.“And who invited you?” Eros demanded with rage written all over his face.“You can’t just speak to Sira anyhow in my presence and expect me to keep quiet,” Cansil said without an ounce of fear, and Eros glared at him angrily.When all these was happening, I just kept mute and watched them bicker.I stared at Eros deeply, and I managed to figure out that he was very jealous.His face showed how bitter he felt at that moment when he saw I and Cansil together.He quickly turned to look at me, and his stares that moment felt like......It felt like he was suspecting me and was also beginning to doubt
SIRA Bright Light struck my eyes followed by a loud honk. I shut my eyes due to the immense pain I felt and by the time I opened it, I noticed a man staring at me.Soon, I guessed it was the cab I ordered. I wanted to give him a scolding of his life but not while I was standing on the walkway by the roadside so I took my seat and told him my destination.As soon as the car took off, I began lamenting.“Do you want to get me blind?” I spoke authoritatively.The next thing that followed was an immediate and reckless halting of the car. He stepped on the break not caring if I was going to bang my head against the seat.“Now you want to end my life?” I uttered, angrily this time.He turned to face me as he soon gave a reply, “I did what I did so you’d notice I already came to pick you up sooner if your eyes weren’t glued to your phone and so I had no other choice than to flash my car lights at you.”After saying this, he rudely just turned on the engine and continued driving without even
EROS POVThere was a yummy chicken Marsala placed before me. The aroma of the food was capable of sweeping you off your feet, but I wasn’t happy.In fact, I didn’t have any appetite to eat as I felt disappointed earlier today.“Why didn’t she want to see me?” I couldn’t help but ask myself as I remembered what happened exactly today.“She watched me leave, which is very unlike her?” I couldn’t help but ask myself in surprise.“Was Cansil there with her, and that was why she probably didn’t want to see me?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as different thoughts rummaged in my head.I kept on stirring the food before me, without making an attempt to eat it.“Your highness,” The new maid walked in, with a light smile on her face.I hissed lightly and shook my head, prepared to ignore her until she made the next statement.“Your highness, A lady is here to see you,” She said with a light smile, as I quickly turned to stare at her.“Who?” I couldn’t help but ask“She said her name was Sira?
SIRAI was in my room, going through some certain things on my phone when I suddenly began to feel nauseous.Quickly, I rushed into the restroom to throw up, which I eventually did and it managed to get me confused.“What’s going on?” I couldn’t help but ask myself as I walked out of the bathroom slowly.I sat on a vacant chair as different thoughts ran through my head.I just couldn’t help but think that moment.Slowly, I got up and went straight to my closet, picking a blue baggy jeans and a red crop top.Different thoughts ran through my head, but I decided to go to the hospital so I could confirm if I was okay or not.“Why exactly am I suddenly feeling nauseous?” I couldn’t help but ask myself with a crumpled look.I shrugged and quickly dressed up, before I picked up my bag.Briskly, I walked out of my apartment and flagged down a cab as I headed straight to the hospital.The drive was just about ten minutes or so, but I didn’t know when I got to the hospital.On getting there, I
SIRAGrrr…My alarm clock rang, thereby interrupting my blissful sleep.I turned the clock off then tried to go back to sleep, but it was to no avail.I was fed up because I still wanted to sleep more.With a sour expression, I groped my way to my bathroom then did my morning routine as quickly as I could.On my return to my room, I decided to check my messages before going about my chores.“Sira” mom yelled just when I was about to click on a message from Karen.“Ma'am” I yelled in returnI was tempted to open her message but because I didn't want to scroll through thirty messages when I returned, I tossed my phone on my bed then walked towards the door.We were supposed to hang out yesterday, but because of Eros, I had canceled our meeting.I was certain she had flooded my phone with the pictures she and the girls took at the girl's night out that was held the previous day.I was about to walk into the living room when I bumped into mom, who was on her way to fetch me.“When are you
