Alessia“Why did I kill Athena? Did he believe that I killed her?” I stared at him in disbelief as these thoughts crossed my mind. I couldn't believe he could conclude even without listening to my side of the story. What was he doing?I looked up at him with a cold and angry look. My heart ached with an unbearable pain. "What did you say?" I asked in a weak voice, unable to comprehend the question he asked me. "Answer my question, Alessia. Why did you kill Athena?" He asked icily, and I swallowed hard. Unlike before, he addressed me by my name, not by what I meant to him. He didn't address me as his mate anymore. Was he going to reject me because of this misunderstanding and slander?"What are you saying?""I didn't kill the pack witch. I met her that way. She was in her pool of blood when I met her there," I explained with my heart burning with pain. "You're yet to tell me the reason why you killed her," he said without sparing a glance at me. He stood up from his throne made
AlessiaI swallowed hard as he walked into the iron dungeon with his hand crossed behind his back. I didn't fail to notice the cold and vicious look on his face. He was staring at me as though he wanted to devour me. I moved backward in fear with my heart pounding heavily against its cage. "What are you doing here?" I asked in a low tone, uncomfortable by his stares. "You thought I would die, right?" He asked, and I swallowed hard. He laughed as he stared at my expression. "You don't need to be scared, Alessia or Princess Alessia," he said coldly and chuckled. I gasped out in shock with a surprised look. How did he manage to know? I knew he had found out that I came from the Grey Moon pack but he didn't know that I was the princess of the pack until he came again. "Are you surprised? Don't try to feign ignorance because I confirmed it from Alpha Xavier who usurped the throne from you or to whom you gave the pack," he laughed and paused. He took a quick breath and continued. "So
AsherWhat! I gasped out in shock even before I could control my emotions. I stared at the elders in disbelief. It took me a minute to get myself."Tonight? What do you mean?" I asked in a cold tone, trying not to show any emotions. "That's the best thing to do, Alpha. She killed the pack witch who is an important individual in the pack so she deserved to be killed so as to ease the soul of Athena," one of them said conclusively. "That's not possible. You can't take such rash action. This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly," I said in a cold tone and stood in front of Alessia protectively. "There's nothing to be investigated, Alpha. She was caught red-handed in Athena's house. That's enough to prove that she's the killer,""What else do you need, Alpha?" One of them asked, and I took a deep breath. For a moment, I was stranded. I didn't know what to say or do. I didn't want them to take my mate away but at the same time, I needed to be cautious. "But the…""I'm sorry ther
AlessiaHuh?I stared at Asher with a surprised look on my face. I had a conflicted feeling when I heard his last statement. Was he really going to let me go because I was his mate?Or was it because he trusted me?I was afraid that he was going to execute me out of anger because I had lied to him about my identity but his action shocked me to the bone. I began to regret and hate myself for not trusting him despite the love and care he showered on me as his mate. I wished I could turn back the time and tell him everything about me but it was too late. The secret that I have been hiding has been leaked by Derek. I felt safe and conflicted that Asher stood up for me. I gulped down into nothing as he stared at me firmly without saying anything.Even though he didn't say a word to me, I knew he had a lot of unanswered questions in his mind. "That's not possible, Alpha. You can't take her away with you,""She's a traitor, a murderer and spy from the Grey Moon pack so she deserved to b
AsherHow is that possible? When did she become a member of the Grey Moon pack? Was she sent to kill me? Is she a spy?I ruffled my hair with a frustrated look on my face as these questions crossed my mind but I couldn't find an answer to any of them. I was angry when I found out that she was from the Grey Moon pack. Although I trusted her, she offended me by keeping the secret from me. If she had told me that she was from the Grey Moon pack, I would have done something about it. Now, everyone had known that she was from the Grey Moon pack. It would be hard to resolve the dispute easily because my pack and the Grey Moon pack have been enemies for the past few years. What can I do about her? I was certain that she didn't mean any harm. Even though I had yet to know her purpose in my pack, I knew she wouldn't do anything to harm me or my pack members. Even if everything was a plan to manipulate me, I knew there was no way she could only manipulate the moon goddess to make her my mat
Asher"Who are you, Alessia?" I asked with a cold look on my face. My voice was laced with pain and sadness. I didn't want to believe that she was the princess of the Grey Moon pack even though I'd seen the mark on her neck. I didn't want to ask her but I felt there was no need to beat around the bush since I'd seen the mark on her. "What's wrong with you? Why are you asking me this question?" She asked with a confused look on her face as she stood up from the bed. Her nakedness was always hard for me to resist, not until I found the sacred birthmark on her neck. "Answer my damn question, Alessia," I yelled out with an angry look on my face. "Okay fine," she took a deep breath and stared at me skeptically. "My name is Alessia Brown. I'm the princess of the Grey Moon pack. Like I'd told you earlier, I left because Xavier betrayed me," she muttered with a sad look on her face but I wasn't concerned about that side of the story. I took a deep breath, trying to control the emotion
Alessia"Asher!" I called out worriedly with my heart beating rapidly against its cage. I was sad and heartbroken after he left me without turning back. He didn't even bother to wait for me to apologize to him before he left. What could I do about him?I felt bad and regretful for hiding the secret about my identity from him. It was not really my fault. I didn't want him to change toward me because I was from the opposition pack. That was why I had to hide my identity from him and lie about it to him. It was until then that I wished I never hid my identity from him. I was sure he wasn't happy with me. What was wrong with him? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I felt something was wrong with him earlier. He suddenly withdrew himself while we were having sex and he stared at me intensely as though he had done something wrong whereas I was enjoying his touch. His next was what actually shocked me. Why did he suddenly ask me for my identity? Why was he anxious? And ev
Alessia"Huh?" I looked up with a confused look. I had conflicted feelings. My heart skipped in fear as different negative thoughts crossed my mind as I remembered how cold and fierce he sounded. Why did he seem so indifferent? Why didn't he want me to see him? Was it because of what I did to him? Was he still angry at me? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "Why should I leave, huh? Why are you doing this to me?" I asked with my voice laced with pain and sadness. I knew I had offended him by lying about my identity to him but I didn't expect him to still be angry at me. I felt there was more to his indifference toward me. If he was truly angry at me, he wouldn't bring me back to the pack even though he had changed my chamber for the reasons best known to him. I didn't know what to do about him. His cold voice rang loudly and brought me out of my train of thought. "That's because I don't want to see you." His words broke and tore my heart into pieces, and it hurt li
