Alexanders povThe sounds of Fay's screams filled the palace. I couldn't take it anymore. Her pain was like a physical weight on my chest, crushing me with each agonising cry.I paced the room, fists clenched in frustration and anger. I couldn't just stand by and do nothing while Fay suffered. I had to be there for her. She needed me.I made my way to Fay's room. As I approached her door, I could hear her screams growing louder and more desperate. It was like a knife twisting in my gut, knowing she was in such agony.Leaning against the wall outside her room, I closed my eyes and whispered a silent plea for Fay's pain to end. The sound of footsteps approaching made me push myself off the wall, and I opened my eyes to see the doctors emerging from her chamber.My heart pounded in my chest as I watched them leave, leaving me alone with the haunting sounds of Fay's suffering.I took a deep breath, reading myself. I knew I had to look strong going into that room. I reached out and grasped
"She's okay", the doctor yelled from behind Victor.The doctor's words went unheard by Victor. I could tell by the look on his face that he was so consumed by rage that nothing was going to stop him from attacking me. As he stood over me, his fist ready, I braced myself for the impact.But just as Victor's rage reached its peak, a voice cut through the tension like a knife. "Victor, stop."I looked up to see Fay sitting up in her bed. Victor froze at her words, his fist still suspended in mid-air inches away from my face."I'm okay," Fay continued. "He didn't hurt me. He stopped the pain."Victor turned around to look at his sister, his expression softening as he took in the sight of his now healthy sister. Without another word, he rushed over to Fay's side, leaving me lying on the ground.I picked myself off the ground, dusting off my clothes and getting ready to leave the room, now that fay was okay i didn't think she would want me here."How did he do it?" Victor asked."I don't kn
Olivia's pov“We can't trust him to be left alone with her.” Allen's voice became louder and more desperate as Victor, Alexander, and Allen spoke about what needed to be done to keep me healthy. “This was a peaceful kingdom before he came along.”I could feel the tension in the room as Allen voiced her concerns about Alexander being near me. I knew he was just trying to protect me like he has always done.Victor tried to calm Allen down, reminding him that Alexander being close to me was only temporary and as soon as they could work out what was wrong and how to stop my pain. I could sense Alexander's frustration as he stood silently, his jaw clenched tight. I reached out for his hand, needing the comfort of his touch to soothe my aching head.I watched as Allen paced back and forth, his fists clenched in frustration. Victor stood up from his chair and placed a calming hand on Allen's shoulder."Listen, I understand your concerns," Victor said soothingly. "But we have to trust Alexan
The only thing that has helped with my pain has been being close to Alexander. As much as I hate it, I am thankful to him for staying by my side all the time. We walked through the palace halls, Alexander walking a few steps behind me as we made our way to the front of the palace, where Victor and the others were waiting for us so we could go to the funeral for the murdered maid. Victor had told me that he didn't think it was a good idea for me to go, but I had convinced him that it would be worse if I didn't. As we approach the spot where I was attacked, a sudden scent hits my nose. Rosemary. I stopped dead in my tracks, and I closed my eyes, letting my mind go back to that day.I heard footsteps approaching from behind, and Aura growled, telling me she sensed danger. I turn around just as someone lunges at me. I fight back with all I have. Something falls to the ground, making my attacker try to grab whatever it is as they do. I reach for the mask that they are wearing to rip it f
Olivia's POVAll the pack members had come to the funeral to pay their respects. We took our seats at the front of the ceremony. As the service continued, I started to feel a wave of dizziness wash over me. I tried to ignore it at first, but it only grew worse as time went on. Alexander must have noticed my discomfort because he leaned in and whispered, "Are you feeling okay, Fay?"I shook my head slightly, trying to brush off his concern. "I'm fine," I murmured back, forcing a weak smile. I didn't want the poor maid's funeral to be turned into something about me, even if she did have something to do with the attempted poisoning of Lidia. Something told me that there was something more to it.But as the dizziness continued to get worse, I knew I needed to get out of there and get some fresh air. I stood up, causing a few heads to turn in my direction. Alexander quickly followed suit and guided me outside.As we stepped out of the building, the cool night air hit me like a refreshing w
I stepped down from the carriage, rushing towards the man, ignoring Alexander's calls from behind me. "Move! Get out of the way!" I shouted at the pack members blocking my path, pushing past them with determination. I could feel Alexander's presence behind me, trying to catch up and stop me, but I couldn't let anything stand in my way of helping this man.As I knelt down next to him, I could see the fear and pain in his eyes. His breathing was laboured, and his hands were trembling. I reached out a hand to gently touch his shoulder, offering what little comfort I could in that moment."Stay with me," I whispered softly, trying to reassure him.Victor's voice echoed through the town centre. "Fay, what are you doing?"I glanced over my shoulder briefly, meeting Alexander's worried eyes, before turning my attention back to the man in front of me. "He needs help," I said simply, my focus unwavering.With gentle hands, I inspected the wound on his head, assessing the severity of his injuri
Alexander's POVI followed behind Fay, something I had gotten used to doing lately, as we made our way to her room. She was tense, her body language rigid as she walked ahead of me. When we reached her room, she didn't even spare me a glance before storming off into the bathroom and slamming the door behind her. I understood why she was mad because what Victor had said to her was out of line, but he also made a point that she shouldn't have rushed off to help that man like she did. A smile played on my lips as I thought back to how amazing she was today helping that man. It reminded me so much of something Olivia would have done.I stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do next. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to take in my surroundings. Fay's room was cosy and inviting, with soft colours and warm lighting. It was strange how much she reminded me of Olivia. Even the scent in her room reminded me of her.I wandered over to her bed and sat down, running a
Olivia's povI stayed in my room, not wanting to go out and face anyone, my head throbbing with pain, but I did my best to ignore it because I didn't want to be around Alexander. But as I was reading a book about healing, trying to distract myself from the chaos going on inside my head, there was a knock on my door.I hesitated for a moment before getting up to answer it, not wanting to see who it was. But when I opened the door, I saw one of the pack guards standing there, his expression grave. Behind him, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, was Alexander."What is it?" I asked the guard, trying to keep my voice steady.The guard cleared his throat nervously before speaking. "Princess Fay, it's Alpha Victor. He was injured when rogues came onto our land."My heart clenched at the news of my brother being hurt. Panic surged through me. “Take me to him”, I ordered.The guard nodded and motioned for me to follow him. I didn't spare a glance at Alexander as I hurried out
