Alone in the darkness, Xylah tossed and turned on her bed, unable to sleep. She felt extremely uncomfortable and laying down didn't help matters.She sat up, adjusted her pillow and laid back down again. She even used the pillow to cover her ears and willed herself to sleep but her body just wouldn't listen to her.She finally gave up and witu a sigh, threw the pillow to the side and laid on her back, staring up at nothing in particular.Xylah's mind was filled with so many different thoughts, all jumbled together making it hard for her to know what was real and what was not.The events of the afternoon was still fresh in her mind. She remembered how everyone in the pack had accused her of causing a rift between their Alpha and Beta. They seemed very angry as they pointed her out to be the sole cause as she deviously made a plan to make both men fall for her.To Xylah, they were probably spewing nonsense. It wasn't true at all." I mean Greg and Liam? In love with me?" She uttered " N
Liam rushed to Greg's figure which was now slumped on the floor. His heart slammed against his chest as he thought of the worst possible scenario that had happened."Greg? Greg?!!" "I'm not dead yet!" Came Greg's gruff answer as he shoved away Liam's hand " Stop screaming my name already"Liam breathed out a sigh of relief and collapsed on his back close to his friend " I will kill you for this! I swear!" He added and heard Greg scoff "Not if I kill you first" Greg replied and Liam scoffed too.The sight of the Alpha and Beta laying by the door was a thing to behold as each was lost in his own thoughts, staring up into empty space."Man, where on earth have you been?" Liam was the first to get up. He stood up and helped his friend back to his feet."Do you have any idea how worried I was? I've searched everywhere for you. Don't you dare disappear like that ever again!"Greg's chest heaved up and down like someone who's just ran a marathon. Liam couldn't help but notice."And what ha
Unable to keep up with her long train of thoughts, Xylah left the room to find Greg.. or Liam.. or even the both of them if they were together.But she doubted that but still went ahead to find them. She needed to talk to them. Everything had suddenly gone wrong and Xylah couldn't just sit back and do nothing while both men slowly destroy their friendship like this.She'll never be able to forgive herself if anything like that were to happen. Before it was too late, she had to talk to them.Xylah navigated her way to Greg's room first. It was located at the far end of the same hallway she was, but she had never for once gone there. Today, Xylah knew she had to. For the sake of both of them. She reached the room, knocked and waited but there was no reply.Was he asleep? She knocked again and when there was no reply, she pushed open the door and went into the dark room."Greg?" She called out "Are you sleeping already?" Getting no reply, she went ahead to switch the lights on and foun
Liam almost choked on the apple in his mouth as his eyes went triple their size. "What?!" He spat the apple out " What did you just say?"Greg looked unmoved " You heard me, I'm going to ask her to be my Luna""Just wait Greg, wait first" Liam sat up " Do you even realize what you're saying??""What's wrong with what I'm saying?" Greg frowned at him."No.. I mean I'm not saying it's wrong, but do you even realize what you're saying?" "Luna? Greg are you being serious? I get that you like.. love Xylah but this is a very serious issue. Being the Luna of a pack is not a small issue""So what is the issue?" Greys frowned only deepened."Xylah… she.. she's an omega? Don't get me wrong but I mean she's– she's just an Omega and you.. you're an Alpha, Greg, the Alpha of this pack. And apart from that, we have no idea who Xylah is. We don't where she's come from, what type of person she is and what she's done in her previous life""We don't know anything about her, so how can you just make h
The sight that met Greg's eyes when he exited the pack house was one he never expected to see. A couple of cars were packed in front of his house, with men, spread out as far as the eyes could see. Some were dressed in suits while others, he recognized as the royal guards were clad in their uniform. The flag of the royal army stood beautifully in the morning sun as they all stood at attention, head kept straight without batting an eye."What's going on?" Liam asked behind Greg. He too was shocked to see the men "Why are prince Caspian's men at our pack all of a sudden?""I don't know" Greg's voice was grim. His eyes were fixed on a man at the front who was approaching them. He was a bulky man, dressed in a pitch black suit and had dark sunglasses on."I am commander Aeon" The large man introduced himself " Incharge of his Highness' royal guards" He showed them his ID."We have an order from his Highness himself" He rolled out a scroll and handed it over to Greg."I'll have that" Liam
A certain car had been brought out front as Xylah walked, flanked by two men behind her. It's door was opened and as Xylah prepared to enter, she fought the urge to look back at Greg one last time."Miss" One of the men standing behind her spoke when Xylah stood there unmoving for a while " We're getting late"Xylah looked up at him and nodded, her eyes flying to look at Greg and Liam quickly.She saw Greg standing there devastated and behind him, Liam had placed his hands to his shoulders, staring at her sadly.She fought hard to stop the tears which were threatening to fall but she failed miserably so she hurriedly got into the car and watched as the door was shut close.Greg's whole body had gone cold hearing Xylah's words. He couldn't believe she has just said all that to him. He stood gaping at nothing in particular and by the time he realized, Xylah was already halfway to the carriage."Xylah!" He hollered, eyes widening in horror "Xylah wait! You can't leave!""You can't leave
Xylah covered her mouth trying to stiffle the cry that wanted to desperately escape as she sat at the backseat. She couldn't believe she had just done what she back there.The look on Greg's face after she told him she was leaving had broken her completely. For a moment there, she felt herself waver and had almost gone back on her decision but stopped herself.But Xylah knew she couldn't be at a pack where people took her for granted. But what was the difference with where she was going back to know?Her former pack had it worst.Xylah had no idea why the prince had ordered for her to be brought back to him. He had rejected her hadn't he? Then what did he want now?Xylah had never seen the prince, but she hated him for what he had done to her. He had made her a more useless person and a laughing stock after he rejected her without a reason.Why did he want her back?Was she making a mistake by agreeing to go back there?Xylah's throat dried up at the thought of returning to her former
The drive back to the palace was a very long one and Xylah ended up dozing off in the process car. She was jolted awake the moment the car pulled to a stop and her eyes opened to see the sky was already turning dark."We're here, Miss" The man seated at the passenger seat announced and got out to get the door for her. She recognized his voice to be the same as the same man from earlier.Xylah hesitatated for a while, but eventually stepped out of the car. Once out, she swallowed seeing the unfamiliar environment and opened her mouth to speak but the man beat her to it."Right this way, Ma'am," He gestured and led for Xylah to follow. Four men fell behind her, keeping their distance but Xylah knew they were there incase she would even think of escaping.She sighed. It was of no use really. Xylah trotted behind him without a word, her eyes gaping at the beautiful sight she beheld."Wow..." She breathed subconsciously, seeing the palace with her own eyes for the very first time in her li
