Chapter 22Authors POV The Alpha moved through the garden, his entire body thrumming with the scent of the one the moon goddess had destined for him, his hands brushing through the shaped thorn of roses that scattered across the path. Their leaves called out to him as they tapped into the flow of life streaming through me. He could hear the telltale swish of the pond , almost as if someone was disturbing its calm. He’d only tapped into the wart but source streaming signs of hee form from the very tips of her feet that stood upon the ground, to the wind that blew against her hair. Celene probably thought she was all alone and that’s supposed to be certain judging by the closed space that served as an entrance into the woods, if not the gifts that the alpha possessed he probably would have missed the slight change in the direction of the bushes and missed the rustling of leaves and the sound of the water. Mondrian moved with stealth, transforming into a cloud of dust moving through

Chapter 24 Celene’s POV My heart was pounding furiously in my chest as I opened the door to my room, with the anticipation of no more than finding the solitude that was becoming my good friend. But as I stepped through the door frame, there, standing in the center of the room, was Cristoff, his presence as unexpected and unwelcome as it was. His eyes cut straight into mine, his gaze piercing deep within my soul. "Where have you been?" Desperation laced in the tightness of his voice, though it stayed serenely cool as ever. My first reaction to him being there was an angry storm mixed with fear. I was cautious, wasn't I? Nobody was supposed to know about my affairs. Least of all, Cristoff. For a moment, I just stayed there, appalled, my mind reeling for some possible means of escape. "What are you doing here?" I finally demanded, my voice sharper than I had intended it to be. I stepped backward, trying to put some distance between us, as though somehow this could ease the tensi

Chapter 26 Celene's pov The smacks of our shoes hitting linoleum were the only sounds that could be heard in the empty hall, as I walked down the halls with Christof by my side. We moved in silence each with their thoughts as to why we had been called— I had been called, but for reasons known to Christoff, he had insisted on coming along, despite my desires that he did not. I shot a glance at the man who had hurt me, by sleeping with my stepsister. And now had returned to beg for forgiveness, something I wasn't too sure I could give. Though his excuse had stirred at my guilt, I couldn't help but feel I had made the right decision as a flash of our conversation played in my mind. “Celene please believe me I never meant to hurt you. All I had done was for you.” Christof said, falling on his knees beside me. I scoffed, my arm folded as I raised my brows in hot indignation, “You truly expect me to believe that nonsense. That you slept my step-sister-terr was for my good?” I hissed at

Chapter 28 Valerie pov What am I doing here? I wondered as I watched the chaos unfold. How did I get so low as to be reduced into nothing but an errand girl, to be ordered by a man? My kingdom hijacked, and my authority questioned. I seethed in disgust as I settled into my seat waiting for this all to be over. “My lady are you all right, do you perhaps need anything? Alpha Mondrian was too harsh.” Talia my long-time aid and closest companion whispered to me, her voice tainted with worry. I waved at her to assure her, “I am fine. Don't worry too much about it, soon it will be over and he will be gone. When did the other party say they would be leaving?” I questioned, as I tried to drown the argument already heated. Talia hesitated in her speech her eyes widened, as an annoying scream of ‘No’ resounded round the hall, I frowned as I turned towards her, “Ignore them. Tell me. Has there been any news ?” “My..my..lady…” The frightened girl, stuttered as she tried to ignore the hea

Chapter 30 Mondrian “Celene I beg of you, listen to…” The bang of the giant oat door, hitting its frame told me all I needed to know. Firstly Celene was angry the second she was gone. The woman set to be my bride was gone, and with her a man I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't removed him from the picture long ago. I ran a hand through my face as I wondered how it came to be like this, how could I have been so stupid as to fight over her choices? I needed to make things right. As I readied myself to warp into time, ready to go after her. My senses urged me to move and yet I remained where I stood. Did she want me to? Wouldn't she hate me more if I simply ignored her request? Amidst my dilemma, the thuds of feet remind me of the people I had ignored, I turn to find the servants, helping each other up, many still pale from my burst of Aura, my eyes soon clash with a pair of violets that seemed mostly unaffected, I felt a flush of annoyance as Valerie's eyes crinkled, her li
