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
Third POV.“What do you mean when you say that?” Leila asked as she didn’t understand that sentence.Marcus’s eyes were also filled with curiosity.“What I mean is that Josiah is lying about the book, so we should exclude him when finding out the person who took the book,” Elana said calmly.“No, wait. Why should we exclude him? Also, what do you mean when you say that he is lying about the book and how do you know he is lying when he said he has the book?” Marcus asked as he raised his hand to stop Elana from continuing without explaining more to him.“Okay. Let me explain why I am saying that. Leila, what did Grandpa tell us about the book?” Elana asked her sister while looking at her.“What? Grandpa says a lot of things and you can’t expect me to remember everything although I am a god for goodness sake!” Leila said while looking at her sister angrily, making Elana sigh.“Of course with that brain of yours, how could I have expected you to remember such a thing?” Elana asked while r
Third Pov.“Grandma?” Elana and Leila asked at the same time.“Yes. After all, doesn’t she know everything about her creations?” Marcus asked as he rolled his eyes.“Well, you are right about one thing. She knows everything about her creations but you forgot that Josiah is neither a Lycan nor a werewolf,” Leila said.“If I am not wrong, she is supposed to know about everything that happens in her creature's territory. How can she be relaxed when an enemy is in her place? What if he ruins all her plans? She can’t turn a blind eye to everything when her grandchildren are in the land," Marcus explained what he was thinking.“I guess he is right. We have to try. How can we say that she doesn’t know anything when we haven’t even asked her? Maybe she knows something that will be of help to us,” Elana voiced out.“Okay, then but you are the one who will do that. I am too lazy to do anything," Leila said as she laid back on the bed making the two roll their eyes.“So lazy to do anything? T
Third POV.“What?” they all exclaimed as they looked at her in disbelief.“Grandma, are you serious?” Leila asked curiously.“Yes, I am. Do you think I can be joking because of such a serious thing? I know everything that has been going on and have seen how you guys treat others after knowing your true identities,” the moon goddess said with a displeasing look and disappointment evident in her eyes.“Why? Why should we trust him? Also, we have always treated others or as I should say, people whom we don’t know the same way we treated him hence I can’t understand why you tend to be disappointed in us for how we treated him or is there something we should know of?” Elana asked as she tried to read the moon goddess's emotions upon hearing her question.“Kid, I can't believe you are trying to read my emotions. Don’t you dare forget your place,” the moon goddess said coldly, making them flinch.Leila looked at her and wondered why she reacted in such a way and it was just reading the emotio
