ANYA’S POV“You are saying that this maid saw Anya acting suspiciously?” Abel asked Ariana. Ariana nodded her head. “Yes! She did see her! That’s what she told me! She won’t lie about this, so Anya did it. Let’s check her room!” Ariana insistedI felt like laughing and crying at the same time. I knew she had set a trap for me, and that item would be found in my room. No matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to get myself out of this. “No matter what I say, Ariana, I won’t be able to get myself out of this. It just seems convenient that you lost it when I wasn’t home, right?” I asked her. “You are just trying to stall for time!” She saidThen she turned to Andrei.“You said that we had to wait for her to come back so we can hear her side, Andrei. You can see that she has nothing to say because I am right! Let’s go check her room now!” Ariana said“Anya… if you did not take anything, then you should let us check. Ariana won’t blame you if she finds nothing in your room!” Andrei sa
ANYA'S POV"So let me ask you again, did you see her acting suspiciously? How did that bracelet get in her room?" Andrei asked the maid. Ariana darted her eyes around. I could see that she was starting to get uncomfortable. "What are you trying to do, Andrei?! Don't you believe me?! You already saw this in her room and are still trying to make excuses for her! Don't you believe that she can do anything wrong at all?!" Ariana yelled. "We are just trying to get to the bottom of this since Anya wasn't even here all day. Since this was found in her room, we must find out how it got there. If someone is trying to frame her on purpose, they will get what's coming for them!" Abel said. "I don't know what you are talking about! She did steal from me! I don't care if she's a guest or not! I know that she's trying to steal from me! Why haven't you talked about the punishment she will get now that it's been found in her room?" Ariana asked. No one was paying attention to her at this point.
CHAPTER 46ANYA’S POVI walked over to my door and opened it. Frankly, I wasn’t surprised to see Abel there. I knew he would want to see me after tonight’s drama.“Anya…. Are you okay?” He asked me. He had a worried look on his face as he searched my face.I smiled weakly. Does he expect me to be okay? Ariana accused me, and she got away with a half-assed apology. Of course, I wasn’t fine. But considering how it could have turned out badly for me, I guess I should be thankful.“I am fine,” I said to him. I didn’t want to dump all my anger on him.He helped me a lot out there. “You know that you can talk to me, right? I know no one will be fine after being accused like that. You didn’t do anything wrong,” Abel saidHe stepped into my room, and I moved away to let him enter. I smiled sarcastically. “I think I should be happy that I managed to get away without her framing me,” I said. Abel had a hurt look on her face. “I am sorry about what happened. We know that you didn’t do anythi
ABEL’S POVI woke up the next day feeling extremely horrible about myself. I did not mean to upset her last night or make her feel that Ariana could get away with whatever she did to her. Sometimes I really wanted to tell her about Ariana’s father so she could understand why we had to tolerate her even though we could not stand her. But I knew that Andrei wouldn’t want me to tell her, so I held myself back and kept whatever I wanted to tell her to myself. I hated that she had gone to bed angry with me. I hoped that she would be in a better state of mind to talk to me. Anyone would be mad after the person who framed them got away with it. Even though the maid was punished, she wasn’t the mastermind, so it did not matter.……Thirty minutes later, I sat at the dining table, having breakfast with Andrei. Andrei did not raise his head to look at me once, but I could tell he was watching me.I finally could not stand it anymore. I slammed my fork on the table and looked him in the eye
ANDREI’S POV“What do you mean she’s gone?” I asked Abel, confused. “She’s gone! She has run away. She finally had enough of putting up with you, so she left! Are you happy now? You know that all of this is your fault, right?” Abel asked meI wasn’t in the mood to listen to him pass the blame. “How do you know she’s gone?” I asked him. Maybe she didn’t leave. Perhaps she’s hiding somewhere because she is still mad about yesterday?“I haven’t seen her since morning. She left a note saying that she wanted to be left alone. I gave her the space she wanted, but I got suspicious after I hadn’t seen her all day. I went into her room, and she wasn’t there. She also took a few clothes with her. Do you still think that this isn’t your fault?” Abel asked me“What was in the note she left you?” I asked Abel. I tried to ignore the jealousy I felt when I heard that Anya had left a note for Abel, but I could not ignore that single action of hers. She didn’t even consider me when she left. I was
ANYA'S POVI walked down the forest path as slowly as I could. I had been running for a few hours now, and I was tired. I knew that I had to convey my strength if I wanted to get out of this place alive.I looked down at the men's clothes that I was wearing. I hadn't planned to disguise my identity before I left, but as I made my way out of the Palace, I thought that it would be best to disguise myself so that I wouldn't be caught. I had taken a pair of male clothes that I found outside someone's house. It would help me cover up my identity.I thought about Abel. I had thought about him a lot since I left the Palace. I almost wanted to go back to the palace because of how much I was missing him, but I knew that I couldn't do something like that. I would only be getting myself in trouble if I did that. I won't ever be getting a chance to leave. I will just give up on Abel. He and I were never meant to be in the first place. I will just bury whatever feelings I have for him. I felt
ANYA'S POV"I told you you shouldn't have left without breaking the mate bond, right? Do you think that you can really run away from him without Andrei ever finding you?" My wolf asked me. She sounded like she was boasting. I did not have the time to pay attention to her. Instead, I was thinking about the fact that I could be caught and brought back to the palace. I looked at my disguise. I had done a really good job with it so no one would be able to discover that it was me. But what if they know that it is me? Will I be forced to go back to the palace? Just thinking about what Andrei would do to me if he did was enough to make me sweat. He would think that I have disrespected him by running away, and he would find the worst ways to torture me and make my life impossible! "I left a note for Abel. I told him that I wanted to be left alone. This was supposed to buy me some time to get out of here!" I could not help but complain to my wolf in a low voice.She sneered at me. "Do you
ANDREIWhat do you mean by you can't find her?! It has been a few days already! What exactly are you doing if you can't even find a woman? Why do you all work for me?!" I yelled at the guards. They had their heads bowed, and I felt even more angry! They can't even find her even though it has already been a few days!"Why are all of you so quiet?! Are there guards guarding all the routes that lead out of the palace?" I asked them. They nodded thier heads meekly. "Since you guys are guarding it, why can't you find her? What are all of you doing?!" I yelled at them. "Sir....I think that she might not have left the pack yet. She must know that we are looking for her now, and she must be hiding somewhere in the pack. Instead of guarding the gates to stop her from leaving, I think that we should check all the packs in the Kingdom. I think that we are going to find her if we do that!" One of the guards said. That was enough to make me lose my temper completely. "Do you think that she's a
