Chapter 21

~ Rayel’s POvA part of me wanted to roar in frustration, to lash out at the unfairness of it all. Elara was gone, ripped from this world in a way that I still could not wrap my head around. And now, Hazel, the reminder of our desperate situation, of the weight of expectation that threatened to crush me. It all felt too much for me to deal with. "Hazel," I mumbled, my voice thick with emotion, "You're not to blame for any of this."Her words echoed in my mind - a laughing stock. Shame burned in my gut. Could I truly be so callous, so consumed by my own grief that I wouldn't consider Hazel's feelings? She had been by my side for years, a pillar of strength, enduring whispers and sideways glances with a quiet dignity.I held her tighter, the warmth of her body a grounding presence in the chaos of my emotions. "Look at me, Hazel," I said gently, cupping her face in my hands. Her red-rimmed eyes met mine, filled with a vulnerability and pain I hadn't seen before.She must have been feeli

Chapter 22

~ Hazel’s POVI stared at Mr Louis for a while waiting for his response but he wasn’t saying a word.“Are you even listening to me at all?” I asked him.“I heard you right, your Majesty. I will try and raise the issue as you wanted,” he said with a bow.“Thanks for unwavering support, Mr Louis,” I thanked him before dismissing him. I stood up from my seat and walked closer to my mirror, stared at my reflection and then smiled at myself. Hazel, you are brilliant, I thought to myself as I winked at my reflection in the mirror. I knew fully well that Rayel might have just agreed to my demand for a new breeder to appease me. And I was not certain he really meant it. He still looked upset by Elara's demise and I was trying to not let his sullen behavior get to me.A niggling doubt did flicker across my satisfaction. Rayel's despondency over Elara's death was undeniable. The spark that usually danced in his eyes was dimmed, replaced by a dull ache that I could not understand. We both mourn

Chapter 23

~ Rayel’s POVThe hall fell silent, and a sense of relief washed over me. I sat down and tried to come up with solutions regarding an heir.Only if Hazel can... I trailed off before finishing the sentence. I don't want to get a new breeder, but Hazel does, and the council wants me to have an heir. I was torn and unsure of what to do. What if I find a new breeder and she is exactly like Elara? What if I fell in love with her, just as I did with Elara? What if I couldn't shower her with love like I did with Elara? What if I couldn't protect her and she became like Elara?Several thoughts ran through my mind. My heart pounded in my chest, a trapped bird desperate for escape. During the meeting, I'd managed to hold onto my pride, to project an image of a strong Alpha. But the truth gnawed at me – I was a wolf caught between duty and desire.Duty screamed at me in the voices of the council. The Silvercrest pack needed an heir, their bloodline a sacred thread that couldn't be allowed to u

Chapter 24

~ Elara’s POVI laid gently on the bed and watched Rufus drift off to sleep. I was so grateful to him for treating me like a real human being. Everyone that I had known all treated me like trash but he was the only one that had treated me right. I could only hope that his intentions were pure and wasn’t treating me well because he needed something from me. The thought of going through what I had at Rayel and Hazel's hands made me cautious. They had not treated me horribly, but their treatment of me hadn't been kind either. Rayel had been harsh and cruel at any opportunity he got while Hazel had only been kind to me because of what I could give them… a baby and an heir for Rayel. I placed my hand on my belly, suddenly feeling a modicum of guilt for running away once I found out that I was pregnant. I wondered if they had seen the bloody dress I had deliberately planted in the forest to make them believe that I was dead. Did they mourn my passing, or was I simply a replaceable cog in t

Chapter 25

Elara’s POVI stared at Rufus who walked back to the bed and asked if he wanted anything.“I almost forgot to tell you that I got you a brand new phone,” he said and searched through the bag and brought out a brand Samsung phone. “What? A new phone? Is it really for me?” I asked, looking so surprised. "Yes, Elara. It's yours," he replied. I stared up at him in amazed awe, before looking down at the phone he held in his hands. "Are you sure?" I asked, my voice now in a whisper as though I thought speaking loudly would break the small device. He chuckled, the sound warm and kind. “Yes, Elara. I'm sure. I gave it to you, didn't I? It’s yours,” he said and then gave me the phone to unbox. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I quickly brought out the latest Samsung model from the box. It was my first time having a phone. My stepfather had never bothered to get me one and I had never thought of having an old phone let alone owning a new one. I almost burst into tears as I kept staring at th

Chapter 26

~ Elara's POVI was taken aback by Rufus’s question but then he asked again if he was a stranger to me. “Of course not. You are my savior and I’m very glad I met you,” I said with a smile.“Why did you mention earlier that you have no one to talk to or chat with? I’m here for you Elara,” he said and then asked me to save his number. I tried pressing the phone and from the way I handled it, I was sure that Rufus noticed that I don’t really know much on how to perform some certain task on the phone. He took the phone from me and then decided to show me how to save important numbers on my new, sleek Samsung phone."See this button here?" He pointed to a plus sign (+) at the bottom right corner of the phone's contact app. "That's the magic key to saving numbers."“Cool!” My eyes widened and then asked again what we had to do next."First, we need to find the number we want to save," he explained. "It’s my number, right?” He asked and I nodded at him.“ You can either type it in manuall

Chapter 27

Rayel's POVI stared at Beta Boris' stoic face, knowing from the unflinching expression on his face, he was there to say whatever it is he wanted to say, whether I liked it or not. I chuckled wryly, knowing it was one of the qualities I had admired in him that had come back to bite me in the butt. "You have to snap out of this," Beta said, standing stoically in front of me like a soldier, his stern face letting me know that he meant business. "I cannot pretend to understand what you are going through. Because I do not. However, you are the Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in the world. A pack that is feared by many and not only that has so many eyes upon it. So many people are waiting for your downfall and ultimately, the pack's. A single misstep, a single mistake or error and enemies would be all over us like ants over a cube of sugar.""Boris…"He cut in, squaring his shoulders. "Pardon me, Alpha. I know that I'm overstepping by interrupting you. You can punish me however

Chapter 28

~ Elara’s POVI kept pressing my phone excitedly and begged Rufus to teach me how to use some of the phone's apps. He chuckled at my reaction and showed me how to use some phone apps, including the game app, which was my favorite. I spent the majority of my time on my phone playing games, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Rufus took the phone away from me when it was time for me to use the potions he had made for me. I pouted at him before taking the bitter potion from him and drinking it all at once. It was at that point that I realized I'd been on my phone since the morning, and it was nearly two p.m."Why didn't you tell me that time is far away?" I inquired when I checked the time. "Did you have any important business to attend to?" He asked with a smile. I shook my head, telling him that I had no other business except to sleep and eat. He bursted into laughter when he heard my response and then asked me what I wanted for lunch.“Anything is fine, Rufus,” I said and watched as he stoo

Chapter 29

~ Rayel’s POVI paced around my room, thinking hard about what Beta Boris had told me. His words rang in my hair over and over again until they were all I could hear at that point. He had been so brutal and straight forward with his words but I knew that, he had said nothing but the truth at even at his own risk. He must have gotten tired of seeing me mope around the palace, grieving and aimless. I was still not certain of whether he truly knew what Elara had been to me. I wondered if he knew Elara had been my mate or if he had only suspected that I had feelings for her. Beta Boris was not a fool, he had always been very astute and discerning especially when it came to me and matters regarding the pack. Feelings I had not been able to and did not acknowledge until my poor Elara was dead. The council was pressuring me to produce an heir as soon as possible, and the only way to do so was to find a new breeder. I'm very sorry, Elara. I need to let you go and find a new breeder for the

Chapter 30

~ Hazel’s POV I was in the garden, admiring the beautiful flowers and appreciating the beauty of nature. The sun shone through the leaves, creating light patches on the colorful flowers below. I walked deeper, my feet sinking into the soft grass. Red and pink roses opened wide and smelled sweet in the warm air. A fuzzy bee, covered in yellow dust, flew between them and buzzed gently. Around a bend, I discovered a hidden spot full of tall lilies. White ones, like clean snow, smelled fresh. Orange ones were bright like the sunset and smelled delicious like oranges. All of the smells were incredible, like a perfume garden coming to life. Then there was a flash of blue! A butterfly landed on a purple flower, its color similar to that of the summer sky. It opened its wings, revealing a variety of colors, including dark purple, bright blue, and a hint of yellow. It resembled a genuine jewel, a tiny bit of magic! I sat mesmerized on an old wooden bench beneath a drooping willow tree. The
