Next day when Alyssa woke up, she found that the sun was up, but the house was pretty quiet. Fenris’s kiss lingered on her lips and she touched them gently. Last night, for at least an hour she had tossed and turned in her bed while dreaming of him. A slow smile built on her face. She was his mate. The day had suddenly looked brighter.
She removed her blanket and walked to the bathroom. When she came out all dressed in a white shorts and a green blouse, she found that both Fenris and Benny were not there. Coira was making fried eggs.
“Where are the men?” she asked Coira.
“Benny has gone to the town and I saw Fenris walking up the trail.”
“Ah!” She had a sudden urge to join him. She had a thousand questions
Seeing the unusual quietness that surrounded the castle, Borgan raised his hand up to signal his hands to stop. Izhal and Auria descended and came to a stop near him. “Why is it so quiet?” Borgan wondered. It was eerily silent. “It is just as usual,” said Izhal. “They aren’t expecting the attack, hence I think they all are going on with their daily humdrum of life.” “That’s right!” said Auria impatiently. “Why are we standing? Let’s attack!” “To think that a Lykae Chieftain like Trald doesn’t know that we are attacking, unsettles me,” Borgan said with a doubt creeping in his mind. “You are overthinking!” Auria fumed. “Let’s just attack and get over with it.” Saying that Auria dashed forward on her broom. White lights crackled in her hands and she flung a thick
Trald narrowed his eyes. “Alyssa, be careful of what you speak,” he warned her. Alyssa pursed her lips. “I am sorry,” she replied and lowered her head. She felt stupid to have interfered like that. “If Borgan called her, why didn’t she inform you that she was leaving? I can’t believe that she would go without telling you or mother anything,” Tova asked. “Even if she was spying, how does it matter now?” Magda said. “You all have to think of how to prevent the attack!” She turned to look at Trald and said, “Have you stationed your men already?” Trald nodded. “I have, but there are at least five chieftains with Borgan. It is going to be one hell of a battle!” He stopped eating, losing his appetite suddenly. The seed of the fact that Melanie was s
Alyssa was shocked to hear her mother’s revelation. A few weeks back she was running for her life. Did her mother know about it? Magda continued, “When I returned to Yezia, I enquired about you but no one knew where you were. Why did you leave Alyssa? What forced you to leave the kingdom?” She asked her. “In fact when I came, the first thing I did was to call the council meeting. Raz and Izhal were there. I had already come to know about Raz’s intentions and that’s why I called the council meeting.” “Magda,” Trald called her as he leaned forward with a frown on his face and resting his arms over his thighs. “This certificate annuls your marriage with Raz.” A slow smile crept up on her lips. “No, it doesn’t, because he married me after Alan was killed.” She took a deep breath. “This certificate o
Trald went and stood a few feet away from Alyssa. He was so overwhelmed that he willed himself to stay cautious of his behavior. He studied her features carefully, and then in a low emotional voice, he said, “I can’t believe that Alan’s daughter was in front of me all the time and I didn’t recognize. I thought I would never see this baby.” He stretched his palm towards her and caressed her cheek with affection. His Adam’s apple bobbed as suppressed the onslaught of memories about Alan.Tova and Alyssa were totally shocked at Trald’s disposition. They were expecting a full show down instead… he melted.Mizette was appalled and she gave him a hard stare.Magda… was shocked beyond comprehension.&ldqu
Alyssa stepped forward and snarled at Mizette, “Don’t talk to my mother like that. She didn’t even know about all this?” “That’s right,” Magda replied in a careful voice. “I received a letter from some... Jade.” Tova muttered curses and punched his fist in the table near him, which splintered. Mizette laughed. “That letter doesn’t make a difference. Your daughter has put my son under her spell just like charmed my husband!” “She hasn’t, Mother!” Tova said. “Alyssa is still honing her witchcraft. She doesn’t know how to cast refined spells.” “Oh shut up!” Mizette spat. “How could you be so naïve Tova? She is Magda’s daughter, who is the queen of Yezia. Won’t she know about the spells?” Mizett
Alyssa was extremely exhausted when she came back to the manor. Tova had gone crazy with shopping. Not only had they shopped for the wedding, they had also shopped for the honeymoon, which Tova had planned on taking the moment he married her. There was no way he was going to go back to his job after getting married.“Tova, I will not go anywhere tomorrow!” she said as he made her sit on the bed and removed her boots.“Aly, you are just tired. We are going to take a hot bath, have good food and go off to sleep. You will forget all the pain once I will give you a tincture to drink. Tomorrow we have to shop for your dresses that you will be wearing in the human realm.” Though he had full intentions of shopping for those dresses in the human realm also.A crease came in the cent
