Thomas POV
I knocked over all the containers and bottles on my bedside table.
“How dare she? Who does she think that she is?” I asked no one in particular.
“There is nothing so special about her. She just wants to ruin all that I have worked for. It’s not like Damian is a recognized Alpha. He is just the Alpha of rebels, to be more profoundly stated, outlaws,” I ranted.
My chest heaved up and down as I spoke. That Anne was really riling me up. She was getting on my nerves.
“What is the matter?” Lucia asked.
“It’s Anne or whatever she calls herself,”
“What has she done?” Lucia asked further.
Lucia was the only one I could lean on to some extent.
“She has done quite a lot. She wants to make sure that the Alliance doesn’t hold. I heard her say that to Damian and I don't like it at all. She is s
Leah POV I got to my room, feeling very angry at myself. I trashed everything that was placed on my table. That bastard! He hasn’t changed at all. All he cared about was power. He looked down on us and talked down about Damian but he was still here trying to land a deal with him. I sincerely hoped Damian had finally come to a conclusion about what he wanted to do about Thomas. It was really a bad idea leaving him to roam freely about in the territory and the mansion. I didn’t need a priest to tell me what he actually wanted from us. It was the mined lead and Damian’s ideas for the weapons. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to try to calm my nerves. My room door opened and Evelyn walked in. “Princess, you seem to be very angry at Alpha Thomas,” She stated. “I have every reason to be, Evelyn,” “But you speak to him like you have known him for a very long time and I find that rather intriguing,” She commented. That’s because I do. I wanted to say but then I held myself.“Y
Stephanie POVI could not get what I heard out of my head the day I walked past Anne’s room. It sounded very incoherent but then it also sounded ancient. I was no fool. I’ve been taking my classes very seriously as a child before I became a rogue and I knew when a witch was casting a spell, what it sounded like.I also could not get the look of her eyes the day I just barged into her room after her little table squabble with Thomas out of my mind either.It looked so clear to me that it seemed like the two of them knew each other but what really baffled me was the confusion on Thomas’ whenever she talked.He might not know her but he recognized something significantly familiar in her especially in how she spoke to him. Her constant squabble with him also didn't go unnoticed by me. They were so glaring.I had walked by the factory today too and I heard her get into an argument with him. There was something h
Stephanie POVI gasped and quickly looked away so she wouldn't notice she was being watched. I was panting heavily from the shock, my heart could break through my skin with how hard I was breathing.Oh my! What did I just see? I thought to myself.I looked once again from behind the tree and saw that she had bent down once again to put on her clothes. She stood up, looked around, and then made her way through the other path. It must lead to the mansion.It wasn’t Anne who I had just seen. It was someone else but all of a sudden, she looked like Anne.“What is going on?” I gasped."Who is that? An imposter pretending to be Anne, using black magic?” I questioned myselfI ran my hands through my head because of how crazy everything seemed, then looked at the direction she went once again. She had disappeared into the forest.I gently walked down the cliff side and back to
Thomas POV“What could you possibly offer me, Rogue?” I asked her.“A lot. A chance for you to finally get your revenge on Leah or whoever she is,” Stephanie replied.I wouldn't lie, I was very shocked when she said that my suspicions were correct but then again, I couldn’t jump to any conclusions yet.I looked skeptically at her, “First, tell me, how do you know for sure that she is Leah? You have never seen her before. So how can you jump to such a conclusion? I believe you don’t think that I am naive,” I said to her while watching her intently.I couldn't believe any of them. They were all Rogues. A pack of freaking Rogues. Goddess knew what crime they might have committed to be denounced to become Rogues. I had to play them if they thought they were smart.“I did not jump to any conclusions and I don’t need to see her to know what she looks like. Green ey
Leah POV I abruptly left the dining table to my room and shut the door angrily. How dare he? He was feeding them with lies about me. “But you are Anne now, Leah," My mind chided me but I was too angry to listen. He was doing it on purpose. He wanted to rile me up. But how could he possibly do that if he didn’t even know that I was Leah, to begin with? I bit my lips when I realized the mistake I had made. My reaction would make it obvious that something was going on and that perhaps, there was something about him that I knew. This would not go unnoticed by Damian. I grunted. All this was that bastard’s fault. Everything was his fault but now, he was trying to make me look bad. I thought angrily to myself. He was a very big jerk. He deserved the worst kinds of punishment. Thomas was characterized by lies. It was a part of who he was and how he rose to the top. He used me and discarded me so easily and now, he was back again to take more pounds of my flesh. I got so angry th
Leah POVI ran back into my room. Thomas was right about one thing, I had been running all my life. I was still running and I didn't know when I’d finally stop running.I felt my chest slowly tighten. It was like a knot was forming in my chest. It all felt so surreal and I felt like I was slowly losing the air inside my lungs. Nothing could have felt any worse than this except Thomas finding out about me.How did he know? Who told him? I was sure I'd been careful not to reveal it to anyone, so how was it possible that he knew about my true identity?I couldn't help the tears that formed in my eyes. I had fought all these while to be strong enough, to be able to withstand any of my enemy’s advances but it looked like I was still weak. I thought that helpless and hopeless Leah was finally dead and a new strong and resilient Princess had been born but I guess that dead Leah would always prevail.Thomas had fou
Damian POV “You seem quite lost in thought Damian, is anything the matter?” I looked back to see Connor standing behind me. He was looking intently at me. I grunted, “A lot of things have been playing in my mind and I don’t know what to do about them,” I replied. He placed a hand on top of my shoulder, “Does it have to do with Anne?” He questioned. I looked at him. He could see right through me. “What else could bother me this much?” I retorted. He gave a small nod, and took his hand off me, placing them on his waist, “I won’t lie, I have noticed she has been acting pretty strangely lately,” He said. “Yeah, we all have and what makes me even more worried is the fact that she has refused to open up to anyone about it,” I chipped in. “I think she’s going through a lot mentally and I believe it started with the arrival of Thomas and his Luna, Lucia,” Connor adde
Leah POV I freaked out when I saw Damian talking with Thomas. I couldn't let Thomas come within as much as three feet of Damian. He was a bad egg and I would root him out. I woke up this morning frantically searching for Damian around the mansion. I couldn’t find him at the mines either and so I came to check the factory and I found him with that snake. He was looking intently at me when I finally arrived in our room and exhaled heavily. “What is the matter, Damian?” I asked him. “I should be asking you that, Anne,” He spat.Something was wrong with his countenance. The way he just spoke to me caused my eyes to widen. Could Thomas have told him anything??I didn’t want to think that. If Thomas had tatted me out, I would be on my way to the dungeon waiting for the time I’d be killed, by now.Something else was bothering him. He sighed and rubbed his thumb and index on his temple, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you,” He said and turned his back to me. I looped my arms aroun
