Alpha Orion's povThey started trailing behind me, following my footsteps as I moved into the forest. Luke joined them, he was by my side actually. We walked deeper into the forest. Looking at the forests on its own, you wouldn't know that there is a secret house embedded in it. This house was one of the safe places the ancient people used to hide from their enemies during battles. And it was very big. My father had shown it to me when I was still a kid, he said he had once stayed there when war broke out in the pack then. So that's where the warriors would lodge. Although, they won't stay in the house and don't do anything. They would just use the place as a resting joint and when it's time for work, that's early in the morning, they move away from the house and later in the day, midnight preferably, they go back and sleep. A couple of minutes into the journey, we started approaching the house, the secret house When we got there, I paused them. "Hold on. Now, I would select
Anita's povThe moment Alpha Orion told me to leave his room, I got infuriated and wanted to strike back but his next word left no room for negotiations. Supposing I say something bad, I don't know what he may do to me. So I kept quiet and hurriedly took my things and left the place. He is something else really. A few times, he would behave like someone that loves me and after a while, he would change completely. I do not know what he wants.. Honestly, I do not. If he wants me, why don't he say it? For how long does he want to keep treating me like trash? For how long?Honestly, I am fed up with what he is doing and I do not think I would be able to condone such behavior again. I let out a hiss and hurried out of the room. I was sweating all over, so I hurriedly ran to my room and shut the door behind me. My heart was thumping loudly against my chest as I entered my room. It was anxiety that had been brewing inside of me. I walked slowly to my chair and sat on it. Alpha Orion t
Darius povAfter my visit to Alpha Orion's pack, I was surprised to find Anita, the girl from the forest in that place. How come? How was she there? Since my stay in the pack I haven't seen or come across her before? Or did she just come to the place? Maybe she did. But why was she in the palace, not only there but with maid clothes? Is she now working there? A lot of questions came running through my mind as I saw her there.I can't believe what I saw at all. This was the girl I had told Alpha Orion that I had missed while in the forest and the same person is the one that wants to make me travel too. Woah! I do not know what to do at this point. How do I make myself move away from this pack as I can see her here now. Immediately, I saw her, I was amused by her and as I looked at her shining blue eyes that came alive as the sun radiated on them matching with the soft glow emitted from it. I was so happy and wanted to let her know about it but there was no way I would do that, not
Darius povI thought I could erase her from my head. I thought if I had other women beneath me, if I was able to sleep with other women, then I would forget about Anita. But it wasn't that way. It kept getting intense to the extent that even the girls I had sex with looked like Anita. It made me so frustrated because I was not even enjoying any of the things I was doing. All I could think about was her. I felt frustrated. It has been over 2 weeks now, and I've been trying my very best to restrain myself from going back to the palace. I can't go back home. I have things to achieve. I cannot go back there empty-handed. I don't want to go back to drag the throne with Alpha Orion again. It is his throne, and he can do whatever he wants with it. I don't want to get myself included. But at the same time, I also could not help myself. I could not stop thinking about Anita. I guess I was falling in love with someone I had already talked to once. It was so confusing for me, but I knew for su
Anita povI laid on the bed, my eyes open as I stared up at the ceiling. I couldn't help but feel tired and confused. I felt like something was missing. I have yet to have a little discussion with Alpha Orion. It will give me a lot of ease in my mind and my heart if I get to talk to him.I stood up from the bed immediately, but just as I was about to come outside, one of the maids was already standing there with a smirk on her face. “'It's a good thing you woke up. I wanted to come and wake you up with boiling water on your face,” she said to me as I felt a bit frightened. How can she say something like that? How could she even think of threatening me this way? This is just so absurd. Like, is this how she plans on treating me? I really wish that our own would let everyone know that I am with him now. After all, it had been days going to weeks now and nothing has happened to me. Maybe the curse did not affect me. Maybe the curse is not meant for me, and I am here stressing myself. M
Darius povI know with those words I said to Anita, she was confused, but I did not care. She would come to like me anyways. After all, she seemed very nice and I know that one of these days, she would come up to me and embrace me. I stayed at her charming face as she smiled up with you. “'Thank you so much for the compliment. I really really appreciate it, but I have to go. I have lots of work to do, and I must not be late,” she said to me, as she gave the costume to me. I collected the attire and turned around like I was about to move, but surprised her by driving her inside the room and locking the door. She screamed and held to the door tightly like she wanted to leave. “'Do not be scared. I am not trying to take you or something. Okay? I am just being nice.” That is all I said to her. She lets go of the door handle and stands there holding to her arms together like she was trying to cage herself, maybe thinking I wanted to touch her in any way. “'Do not worry, and do not be scar
Alpha Orion's povJust as I was about to give a formal introduction to the council members, mostly new rules who were not very familiar with Darius since he was not always in the palace and always ventured away from anything that had to do with the politics of the palace. I decided to just give a brief summary about why he is like that even though they all know that he's my stepbrother, but just then the door opened and Anita walked in with some beverage on a tea. She seemed to be shivering. Something was not right. I had already warned madam Betty not to do anything to her but yet it was like madame Betty refused to listen to me. She was beside her and was not saying anything. I kept silent and just then, Darius slowly removed my hand from his shoulder as he walked towards Anita. What was this? Does he even know her? Why would he just go to her? Oh. I slammed myself internally. Maybe he wanted to take a beverage from her, but I had no choice but to watch what he wanted to do. He wa
Alpha Orion's povAfter the meeting, I could not help but be so patient for everything to be rounded up. I rushed quickly without even telling my beta anything. I rushed directly to Anita's room. I banged on the door continuously, but got no response. I banged continuously loudly, and just then, I felt somebody behind me. I turned around, and it was Anita. She seemed confused as she was holding on to her mopstick. She looked at me from head to toe. I clearly was in a panic mode. It was just so obvious. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. I can't let it happen. Why sit down in a meeting after what my beta had told me? I couldn't help but imagine so many things. I imagined what if she ends up with Darius . I cannot let that happen. It cannot even happen. All my imaginations should never come to pass. I can never let her be with him. He is just not the kind of person I plan to. And besides, she belongs to me. She's my mate. He cannot just come up from nowhere and then claim to li
