Third POV. Josiah frowned as he had not imagined that would be the case. Now, he understood why Leila said she believed him yet looked at him in suspicion. Looking at the two girls and feeling everyone's eyes on him, he didn't feel so comfortable as he knew that he was in trouble since he knew that they would not believe him despite what he said. He cursed inwardly as he never thought that his flawless lie would lead him into another deep of shit. He looked at Elvis' daughter with hatred. "As I said, my adoptive parents found it in the basket that I was laid in as an infant after being picked up," he said calmly after a while. "Does that mean that you are a garbage that was picked up out of the trash? Or was it, dustbin?" Marcus said mockingly as he sized the old man. Josiah glared at him since he had never thought that the young man would be so arrogant and oppose him. How he wished that he didn't owe anyone anything making him not go through the humiliation he was in. Josiah ha
Third POV. "I guess that there is nothing else to know from you," Leila said in displeasure. "Yeah, she is right. Please don't think that because we are leaving you off today means that we believed any shit you said today. We will start investigating you immediately. Also, since you said that the book is in your hands, I would like you .... not love it if you return it to its rightful owners. You have been a resident of this kingdom from the moment you were adopted by the people who took you in; therefore, I believe that as the sun rises, in the morning, I would be expecting that book. Morning not in the afternoon or at night but in the morning. Failure to do that, we would know that all of your explanations are nothing but lies, and also, we would consider you as the lycans and werewolves' enemy and we will announce it making everyone know it,” Elana said calmly as she looked at Josiah observing him. A cold shiver ran down Josiah's spine as he heard that. He never expected such a m
Third POV. "What do you need that book for?" Leila asked her sister after everyone had left, leaving the two behind so that they could have some minutes alone. "How can a book which was written years before we were even born consist of our names and how our childhood life was? No, even now!" Elana said with curious eyes. "I don't know either but grandpa had just told us that that book was so important to our family. He had also said that if that book fell into the wrong hands, everything about us would be destroyed and we both would be in great danger," Leila said after a few moments. "Now that you have said that, he did say something like that. But I don't understand why it would cause danger and not our entire family," Elana said as she looked at the wall deeply as she was thinking too hard. "Is that the reason why you asked Josiah to give you the book?" Leila asked as she looked at her sister. Shaking her head, Elana said, "The reason why I asked for the book is because I want
Third POV. "What were you thinking?" A cold voice said. "I....I..." the man kneeling in front of the person who spoke first said. Even though the man wasn't facing him since he was seated on a chair made of an oak tree, he couldn't help but shiver in fear since he knew how capable the man was. "What? I thought that you were so confident in front of the girls and everyone else in the kingdom. What's holding you back from replying to me?" the man seated on the chair asked calmly. Despite his voice being assuring and calm, there was a hint of murderous glint that couldn't be ignored. Seeing that he wouldn't be getting any answer so soon, the man turned his chair and looked at the old man kneeling. His eyes were full of disdain. Although the other man saw it from the corner of his eyes, making him feel bitter in his heart, he tried his best not to show his hurt look. "There was one reason I took in and in the last couple of years, I had always reminded you so that you may never forg
Third POV. Elana looked at her sister upon hearing her words. She tried to figure out what Leila wanted to tell her or why she looked how she was but she couldn't make her feel as if her baby sister had grown up to be a grown-up. "What's up?" she asked for some time after waiting for Leila who had her head lowered to talk but all she got was silence. "I am so sorry," Leila said as tears rolled down her cheek. Seeing this, Elana was heartbroken and hurriedly wiped off the tears since she couldn't tolerate it. "Why are you saying sorry? Why are you even crying?" Elana asked as she lifted her sister's chin. Leila felt worse and even more guilty as she saw the caring look on Elana's face. Leila sniffed as she wiped her face then breathed in and out loudly before talking, "I have always been jealous of you." Hearing this, Elana maintains her previous calm look not showing any new or unusual expression making Leila bite her lower lip. Seeing that Elana's eyes were still on her, she l
Third POV. "The hell! Who is that who can't let us have the sister's time?" Elana asked as she stood up and walked towards the door. On the other hand, Leila chuckled upon hearing her sister's words. After all, it's been some time since Elana got mad because of such a stupid thing. "Bla bla bla. Like you both forgot about me! Even though I am not a girl like both of you, I am your family like daah!" Marcus said as he got into the room through the small space in between Elana and the door. "Although you are a family, where did you hear that we need you here? Just get out before I throw you out," Elana said as she opened the door wider. "Babe, how can you do that to me? Don't you love me anymore?" Marcus asked as he pretended to cry, making Leila smile genuinely as she looked at the scene before her. "Don't babe babe me here. I want to spend my time with my sister so get out!" Elana shouted. "You don't love me anymore," he said as he shed tears. Leila was trying so hard to preven
Third POV. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Marcus waiting for him to say more about what he had just said but all they got was silence. "What the heck? If you aren't going to speak then kindly just leave," Elana said as she gestured to him at the door, making Marcus roll his eyes. "Okay, okay. Fine, I will talk," Marcus said as she raised his hands as a surrender. Elana walked towards the door and shut it since it was open and what they would be talking next may be regarded as private that even the council wasn't qualified to hear it. "Gosh. Marcus, I just hope that what you are saying is true, not just a method to get our attention and for us to allow you to stay in the room with us," Leila said with a serious face since she had doubts about what Marcus said. "You hurt me, Leila," Marcus said as he put his hand on the left side of his chest demonstrating how much he was wounded by her words making Leila roll her eyes. She wished that she just called him a dra
Third POV. "What do you mean?" the girls shouted. Marcus felt as if he was going to suffer a headache in no time if he continued to stay with them but he knew what he should and should not do. "Yes, the old woman stole the book but she later lost it," Marcus said. "How are you all sure that the book got lost and not that she is hiding it?" Leila asked as she stared at Marcus. "Honestly I don't know but that is what I was told," Marcus said, making the girls lower their gaze from him in disappointment. "I thought you were here to tell us where the book is but guess we were wrong about it," Elana said as she shook her head. "At least I found out how it was stolen from your family. I am as useless as both of you think," Marcus said. Elana and Leila rolled their eyes since they were used to him always praising himself when he succeeded in anything no matter how small or big it was. "Marcus we will see what you see, say thank you or even buy you a gift if you find out who has that
