*Author's POV*Cassandra made a low growling sound as she used her magic to throw April across the room, causing the latter to groan in pain.Cassandra hurriedly went to meet April and before April had the time to react, Cassandra kicked her hard across the face. The force sent April sprawling back onto the ground, the wind being knocked out of her as well. “Why are you doing this?” April asked through clenched teeth as her nose started to bleed.“You know why I'm doing this. You dared to betray me and I thought you were acting all high and mighty before, what happened now darling?!” Cassandra spat out as she stood over April menacingly. April sat up quickly enough that some blood splattered on Cassandra's dress. “Please stop, Cassandra…” she whispered softly. “Don't make me do it. It hurts so much.” Cassandra glared at her before throwing another kick, this one making her stagger backwards slightly. “Stop talking! I'm tired of hearing your whining!” She grabbed April by the front
**Author's POV***"Cassandra, please you can't do this to me." April pleaded and went on her knees."Stop pleading with me, baby girl. You were actually planning to report me to the Alpha." Cassandra smirked as she approached April, who moved back in fright."No, I wasn't." She denied. The last thing she wanted was to die right now. She knew how heartless Cassandra was and if the lady could have the heart to poison someone using dark magic, who was she? She needed to beg for her life if that was the last thing she'd do for Cassandra to have mercy on her.Cassandra only chuckled and grabbed her by the neck. She punched her in her guts, sending her sprawling on the floor once again.April spat out blood. "Help!" She screamed and that only infuriated Cassandra, who went to her in a flash and gave her a reverberating slap. She fell on her stomach from the force of it. It felt as if her head was going to explode at any moment. Tears streamed down her face. Her nose started bleeding too.C
**Author's POV**The Next Day..."You look really bad." One of the maids told Elora when they were doing the dishes."Do I?" Elora scoffed."Yes. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked worriedly."I'm just stressed out. No need for worry or concern." She said while putting the dishes in a basket "If you're stressed out then you need to rest. You've tried by helping us do chores already. You are acting like a maid and not like the future Luna. I know you have your reasons for helping us but don't you think it's becoming too much? And it's taking a toll on you." The maid complainedElora only sighed and sniffed back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. How was she going to explain to this maid that she was no longer the future Luna and that everything she told them was a lie? How was she going to explain the pain and punishment she had to endure day and night? What would she even start from and where would she end?"I've heard you." She simply said and continued doing the dis
*Author's POV*"What?" Xavier muttered in shock. "I I I don't get it, what do you mean doctor, What are you talking about? P poison?" He stuttered."I'm sorry Alpha, you should have brought her sooner, the poison is a rare one and it's nothing like what I've dealt with before, you took so long in bringing her here and now that the poison has done so much damage to her system, we can only hope for a miracle. We've done our best to flush it out, but then she's slipped into a coma." The Doctor dropped another bomb shell.Xavier staggered backwards, he was about falling but the Doctor was quick to hold him up."Alpha!" Doctor Blinks panicked. "Please put yourself together.""It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Xavier cried. "But I didn't know, Scarlett never told me anything and when I had noticed some changes in her body, I keep telling her that we need to come see you, but each time she declines saying she's okay. I shouldn't...." He trailed off as he got chocked by his own saliva.S
*Author's POV*The nurse led Arnold and Sandra into Scarlett's ward and when they entered, Sandra immediately broke into tears while staring at Scarlett, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed.She had an oxygen tube sticking from her mouth and her skin was a sickly color. Even though she was asleep, they could see her chest rising and falling slowly.Xavier himself couldn't stand seeing Scarlett like that, helpless and alone. He was already feeling anxious about the whole ordeal. Seeing her looking so lifeless and frail made him want to punch something."Scarlett!" Sandra cried as she rushed to her side. "Oh my goodness, what happened to her?" She sobbed even harder.Xavier sighed deeply, he just couldn't find the strength to say anything.Arnold went to stand beside Xavier and he placed a hand on his shoulder, while staring at Scarlett, he can tell how Xavier must be feeling right now, seeing Scarlett like this won't be at all easy for him."She'll be fine." He said softly.Xavier
**Elora's POV**I woke up the next day feeling sour all over my body. The memories of last night flashed through my head and tears rolled down my cheeks. I remembered how he said he was going to come this morning as well and I gasped and forced myself down from the bed.He can't do anything to me if he doesn't find me. I quickly took my bath and wore any cloth I could find before dashing out of the room. I ran into Lisa on the way and sighed."Where are you running to looking so scared like that?" She asked."I just need to get out of here for a while, Lisa." I said."Who's chasing you?" She asked and I pressed my lips into a thin line. I didn't know if I could trust her yet. She seemed like a nice person and reminds me of Scarlett a lot but judging from the kind of evil person I am and how I have lived my life in the best, I don't deserve anything good or kind gestures from anyone.I just have to accept my punishment and live with it and even if I can die with it, then no problem.Wi
*Author's POV*Elora was quick to hide in a corner as she listened to all their plans and when they were done talking, she literally couldn't believe her ears, Michael was planning to attack Xavier's pack and then kill him."Oh goodness, what do I do?" Elora panicked.She saw them coming her way and she rushed to hide so they wouldn't see her, she waited until they've gone before she came out and then she limped to her bedroom.When Elora got to her room, she sat on the bed and buried her head in her palms, a lot was going on in her mind at the moment, she doesn't know what she's going to do."I can't let this happen." She said to herself. "There's got to be a way to inform Alpha Xavier about Michael's plans, there's got to be a way." The thought of going to his pack suddenly occurred to her, but then she decided against it, she knows if Michael finds out about this then he won't spare her and she also can't tell why she's willing to put her life in danger because of this. Is it beca
*Author's POV*"How's she?" Cassandra asked."Well as you can see, she's fine." Sandra replied rudely."Do you parharps have a problem with me Sandra?""Why would you say that?""Because that's what It looks like to me, I'm sure it's not a bad thing to come see Scarlett.""Judging from the kind of relationship you have with her, I'm not sure that's what you can here for." Sandra retorted.Cassandra was about replying when Xavier spoke."That's enough you two, Scarlett needs to rest and that's going to be impossible with you two bickering." Sandra shot Cassandra one last glare before focusing her attantion on Scarlett.The door open and Arnold walked in, he looked surprised to see Cassandra there, but he didn't say a word."Alpha, I've got some information.""What happened Arnold?''"The search has been carried out and everyone else in the palace is innocent except for one person who we suspect to be the reason behind this."Xavier stood up to face him. "Who's that?""The lady in char
