Chapter 103________________Daciana's POV...All eyes were fixed on me yet I didn't give a damn. There's something about this maid that just doesn't seat well with me. Firstly, she got recruited without my consent.The elders are also aware how waryof I've been about maids after Mary's betrayal, yet no one informed me - doesn't that sound strange? The maid in particular gave out a gentle and sweet smile. "Forgive me my Luna but I'm sorry to say, you must be mistaking me for someone else" She smiled with her head lowered to the ground. I kept a steady gaze on her until Dorian tapped me softly - unknowingly, I'd been staring way too oddly at her. I breathed, then waved my hand, dismissing them. Afterward, I dung into the meal without minding the others. I'm sure...I know her somewhere - okay maybe we've never met before but there's something familiar about her.‘Might it be her scent?’ I wandered tactfully. I couldn't eat properly due to how much I was thinking. So I placed the fork
Chapter 104______________Dorian's POV…“I am so f****** tired! Beta Dorian, can we please take a break?” that was a request coming from the delta who accompanied me to the village. Currently, we were all riding our respective horses, and I glanced to look at him. Considering his request, it does make sense he needs to take a break because we are all so f****** tired—I have been working my ass throughout the break of dawn. And trust me, all I want right now is to submerge myself in a hot bath.Then again, that can't be possible until all work has been completed. “No. If we slack off, there's no guarantee when we'll return to the pack. I know you all are exhausted, but please endure!” I declined his request while simultaneously encouraging them. Afterward, there was silence as we continued to ride to the village.Never did I know being a beta could be so f****** hectic; before I got dethroned, being an alpha wasn't much of a hassle. Then why the hell is being a beta so f****** tiresom
Chapter 105________________Dorian's POV…I understand why Daciana is so skeptical about letting Ashina in, but it's not like I'm not. It's f****** weird how she was injured when I just arrived in the village. Of course, it does seem odd, but that isn't a reason not to help her. Ashina can be very scheming, then again I have to consider her health before thinking about any schemes. Can't Daciana see how profusely she's bleeding? Aside from the fact that she is a werewolf, she might die if nothing is done to help her. Although I'm a bit confused why her injury has refused to heal on its own when she has regenerative cells. I have enough time in the world to worry about that, but for now, she needs urgent help. “Luna please!” I cried. “I'm willing to be punished if you guarantee you will help her. Moreover, she isn't completely a stranger; She was birthed in this pack” I tried to reason with Daciana, but it seems she wants to be hard-headed. “And how is that my business? Beta Dorian,
Chapter 106_________________Writer's POVStaring blankly out the window, she couldn't stop reminiscing about the day's event. Her fight with Dorian had left a painful sting in her heart, and no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't. As much as she badly wants to believe that she is right and Dorian is wrong, her subconscious won't agree with her. Daciana is aware of how Dorian values his friends more than anything, yet she tried to hinder him from saving Ashina. It infuriates her like crazy that Dorian still cares for Ashina despite her close relationship with Henry. Never will she be able to get over the fact that Henry tried to rape her. And just knowing that Ashina is his beta makes her blood boil. “Why can't that f****** dumbass understand my perspective?” she hushed as she strolled back to her bed. Falling flatly on it, she continued gaping at the ceiling with numerous thoughts flooding her head. Although it was almost late at night and a knock persisted on her door.
Chapter 107_________________Writer's POV…Dorian couldn't quite possibly comprehend what Daciana's blabbing about. He understands that the alliance had either been signed by one of them, but he can reassure her that it wasn't him. He has been trying his possible best to tell her that, but she's too angry to reason. “Don't f****** say anything you stupid traitor. How could you do something so outrageous, Dorian? Huh! Are you interested in Ashina? If you were that interested in that bitch, then why the hell did you deceive me?” she shouted continuously. As much as he understands the cause of her provocation, he can't help but get angry too. She is not entitled to hit him carelessly or judge him without listening to his side of the story. “The argument looks very heated” Caddel whispered, without referring to anyone. He, Conri, and Kaden were all ogling at the scene between the two mates—they'll be damned to interfere, but that doesn't mean they can't watch. “I know right? It seems
Chapter 108________________Daciana's POV…All I could feel At that moment was the overwhelming desire to f*** Dorian up badly. Because of this jerk, I am here exchanging words with this lowlife bitch. After the annual ceremony a few months ago I concluded that I would never set my eyes on Ashina until the day I die—I f****** despise her existence; I despise the fact that I breathe in the same air that she does—it kills me to the core just knowing she f****** likes my mate. Even before I discovered that Dorian was my mate, I never, for once, liked her. The other day, when he brought her back into the pack, I had a hard time controlling my urge to snap her neck off; he can't tell me he isn't aware of how much I despise her. I know he does, then why the hell would he sign the f****** allegiance?Is he thrilled by my harsh attitude towards Ashina or what? Presently, I refused to allow Ashina and the other wolves into the palace—they have to move my dead body away from the gates before
Chapter 109____________ Daciana pov.I was still locked up in my thoughts when I realized the time had passed a little bit. They might be all waiting for me down the hall but I was here thinking of something I wasn't sure of yet. Nevertheless, I hope my insinuations better be probed wrong, or else hell will break loose. I was already clad in a magnificent blue gown that showed my figure, vigorously.n second thought, I hoped Dorian would be pleased to see me like this.I stepped out after a light knock came up on the door which disrupted my senses. My face turned steeled cold before I started striding forward towards the door entrance. "My lady, the elders are awaiting your arrival" a maid spoke across the door.I replied to her with silence and walked out of my fort. My eyes moved around and I still couldn't find Avalon.She just couldn't crawl out of my mind, I am still suspicious but for now, I had to bury it all up and face the party up ahead.The maids prostrated their heads
Chapter 110________Daciana's pov.We all heightened our senses and jolted our gazes back to the elder that had just spoken.Something suddenly felt off. My senses could pick up a dark aura emanating from the direction where Ashina was seated. She had thin lines on her forward. I could feel anger boiling up inside her and I was thrilled. I couldn't ask for more, hahaha. "We celebrate you, guest, for coming, and also with this, the alliance has been enacted " the elder trailed off.It was supposed to be my role but I shifted it to him not wanting to spit any words that would please Ashina but rather rile her up. "Cheer to our alliance" the elder concluded and brought forward his glass of wine midair.We all grabbed on ours, but me, with a little bit of hesitation before finally giving in. We lightly collided our cups before plunging them downwards and drinking up the wine. Loud chattering could be heard, the alliance caused an uproar in the hall, and everyone was happy except for
