Alpha Prince’s Mute Mate 25: Why guilt?
Elaine’s POV In the dead of night, I jolted awake, my body drenched in a cold sweat, heart hammering against my chest like a caged bird desperate for escape. Just that it wouldn’t escape even though I wanted it to at that moment. The remnants of the nightmare clung to my consciousness like a shroud of darkness, leaving me trembling and disoriented in the dimly lit room. I was all alone. Imprisoned. I lay there, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I struggled to shake off the tendrils of fear that still gripped me tightly in their icy embrace. The echoes of the nightmare lingered in the recesses of my mind, twisting and contorting into grotesque shapes that danced just beyond the edges of my vision.With trembling hands, I reached out to clutch the sheets, seeking solace in the familiar embrace of the bed that had once been a sanctuary but now felt like a prison. Because I shouldn’t have made it a sanctuary from the beginning. It is a prison as intended. Every creak of the floorboard
Alpha Prince’s Mute Mate 26: Ally and friend
Elaine’s POV Damon's gaze met mine, I detected a flicker of guilt shadowing his features, a subtle shift from his usual demeanour of ease and camaraderie. His shoulders look really bunched with so much tension I don’t understand. The air between us seemed heavy with unspoken words, his usual affable banter conspicuously absent in the tense silence that enveloped the chamber. I don’t like this especially not after that freaking nightmare I had. I furrowed my brow in confusion, my mind grappling to make sense of the palpable unease that emanated from Damon's hesitant demeanour. He looks like he doesn’t want to be anywhere around me. It hurts even though I knew it was just a matter of time. His usual jovial mannerisms were noticeably subdued, replaced by an uncharacteristic solemnity that left me feeling unsettled and uncertain. I didn’t say anything, have nothing to say since he is the one that usually fills in the silence. The absence of his customary jokes and lighthearted conver
Alpha Prince’s Mute Mate 27: Runaway alpha king
Killian’s POV I lay in bed on the fifth day since Elaine's imprisonment and my family’s tragic deaths. I couldn't shake the weight of the immense responsibility that now rested squarely on my shoulders. A responsibility I didn’t want to have. The events of the past few days had left me emotionally drained and mentally exhausted, and I found solace in the quiet solitude of my chambers. Not one to dwell on his emotions, it is making things hard for me. With a heavy heart, I gazed up at the ceiling, my mind swirling with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. I couldn't fathom how everything had unravelled so quickly, leaving me grappling with the consequences of my newfound role as the alpha king.

Elaine’s POV Each passing day brought with it a new struggle, a relentless battle against the gnawing hunger that clawed at my insides. It always left me feeling weightless and tired, maybe even depressed being in such a place. Despite Damon's warnings, I couldn't bring myself to touch the food that arrived like clockwork, a silent reminder of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. They clearly aren’t in the shadows anymore. I could smell the grapes in all the meals. With each meal left untouched, the hunger intensified, a constant companion that whispered promises of relief in exchange for compliance. But I refused to yield, stubbornly clinging to my resolve even as my body weakened and my limbs grew heavy with fatigue.The water offered scant solace, its cool embrace a meagre substitute for the sustenance my body craved.

Days had passed since Elaine's imprisonment, yet there had been no word of her deteriorating condition. Each passing moment only served to fuel Leah's mounting anger, a simmering rage that threatened to spill over at any moment. She has reached her peak because she expected the news days before. It is getting too late. Turning sharply on her heel, Leah fixed her gaze upon the twins who stood before her, their expressions wrought with apprehension. She summoned them by sending guards to their doorstep so now they look frightened. “Are you sure about this?" she demanded, her voice edged with impatience. "About Elaine's allergy to grapes?"Halle and Hailey exchanged a hesitant glance before nodding in unison. They look more like the twins they are at that time. Almost innocent looking with furrowed brows and a dent between them. “Yes, L
