FIFTY ONEAvery's povI was just sited in my room, hoping my father is okay and if he had seen my letter. The name Beatrice always finds a way into my mouth with a taste of disgust and hatred flowing down my mind. With that anger I stormed up, not knowing where to go, then I heard a knock on my door."Who is there?" I asked, having in mind that I wasn't expecting anyone."It is me. The omega needs your attention."I knew trouble was saying hi to me, not that I can't ignore it, but curiosity will make me."I'll be there shortly." I replied, dreadful feeling crawling it's way up my spine."Please, make it quick." The maid begged and left.What's wrong? And what is with the hastiness? Ignoring my own question, I left my room and followed the maid to where Nahigra is."She is here, mistress." The maid reported.Against close doors I can hear Nahigra's voice. "Usher her in."Entering the hall, I felt it. The atmosphere was condensing, but well, that was fake.Earlier on, Hoots sent someone
FIFTY TWONICHOLAS'S POVThe night was warm, but to someone like Avery? Cold probably would be the course of the night. I wasn't feeling sleepy, maybe because I went through a lot today.My mind seems to knock on the door to my thoughts. She was hot, and sweaty. I watched her say some words. "Dad? I don't wanna go. I wanna stay with you daddy." She frowned her face as she said those words.I went inside her closet to bring out a clean towel, and ordered the maid to bring warm water. A few minutes later, the maid came in."Thank you," I said. The maid just bowed down and left.I heard a knock on her door. "Who is there?" I asked."Hoots," Hoots screamed behind closed doors."Come on in." I ordered.He came in and saw Avery on the bed sweating. "Is she alright?" He asked with so much compassion in his words."I think she is." I replied."I just came to check up on her." He said, turning around to leave."How is the alpha?" I asked."He should wake up any moment from now." He responded.
FIFTY THREEAvery's povElias screaming to one of his maids woke me up. I feel so good this morning. If yesterday was to be named anything, it would be "romantic." I blushed at my thoughts.I heard a knock on my door as soon as I got out of bed."Who is there?" I asked."It is me." I recognized the voice immediately. It was a maid."Come on in." I told her.The door swung open, and instead of seeing a feminine figure, I saw a masculine figure."Nicholas." I called out.Seeing the grin and the happiness showing across his face, I bet he saw me in his dreams because what's with the princess treatment? I walked up to him and collected the tray in his hands."It is heavy." He warned me before giving it to me, so I prepared myself for the heaviness of the tray."What's in it?" I asked curiously."Sit and check. It is poisoned food." My mood immediately changed."Poison?" I asked in shock. He changed his facial expression. The bright, warm smile I saw earlier had disappeared. "Let's die to
FIFTY FOURElias changed his clothes. He took the letter, wondering why Nahigra would ask a question like that. "Everything about this letter is weird," He thought as he placed the letter back on his desk. "I need to see Avery." He said, and arranged his clothes back to where it should be and went out.Nahigra walked slowly down the hall. She saw Nicholas, holding a bag behind him."Who would say that the almighty Nicholas would be walking around with no guards and a sack bag in his hands?" Nahigra's voice echoed in the hall.A tilt of his head to look back at Nahigra, the morning sun made sure to give that bright green colour of his eyes a glow - He smiled."Top of the morning to you." He greeted Nahigra.She walked up to him. "What is it you got there?""Kills." He still maintained the smile."You seem to be happy today.""Should I be sad?" He smiled even brighter.Nahigra stared deeply into his eyes. She did not know when she let out those words. "You look just like him." He still
THE POPULAR BOOK THAT NO ONE KNOWSNICHOLAS'S POVAfter the shower. I felt so tired, I wanted to rest, but I couldn't. Sitting down on my bed made me remember Avery."What was I thinking this morning?" I asked myself. "It is not that – oh, I think this is the first time I'm actually falling in love with someone? Is this love? Or pity?" The thoughts kept hitting the nail on the head without missing - I felt a sharp pain in my belly."Thinking is bad." I said, standing up.I went to my study room to gather up knowledge. It looked as if I haven't been reading since the past fifteen years. I picked up the popular novel, "Super-natural." I haven't read in years.When things are too popular, I tend not to read them until I'm ready. I think today is a very good day to read that book.As I was about reading the book my mind went to The Alpha, I don't know why I don't like calling him father - One day, I'll sit down and question myself about that one, but not today.There was a knock on my doo
FINDING CHRISAvery's povI walked hand in hand with Elias when we got to our destination, I let go, but before I did, Nicholas had seen me. Instead of me seeing the handsome smile, all I saw was jealousy. Maybe I got it all wrong, but I know what I'm seeing, this is not the face I saw two days ago nor the face I saw earlier this morning.I sat down, greeted Devon who just gave a smile. He really doesn't know how to hide a fake smile. I greeted Nahigra who gave me a very warm smile - That woman is so beautiful. That was the least of my worries, I turned to look at Nicholas, but he was gone before I knew it."Where did he go?" I asked myself. "Have you seen Nicholas?" I asked the guard behind me, and he just pointed at the exit door - Briskly walking Nicholas walked hastily and finally left. I sighed.I was about to stand up when a hand brought me down. I stared at the hand and looked up, it was the alpha."Sir?" I said,"Seat." He said.I obeyed and stared at him. I waited for him to
THE FEASTThe king of the Arbedour pack was seated on his throne with the queen beside him.The pack is getting wider by the day, and most humans find refuge in Arbedour. Everything was flourishing.There has been no physical war between Arbedour and Blessingstoke, but the packs knew that one of them would strike one day, and the war would start once again."When will I be going to Westland county?" The king asked."I don't think you need to go, my Lord. The road is risky in the day and more riskier in the night. I won't let you go." The queen responded.Shortly, an elderly man walked in. They both stared at him until he was a few metres away from them."My majesty." The elderly man greeted the king, showing his respect by bowing down to him.The king sighed, staring at the man intently. "What brings you here today? We shouldn't be seeing each other for three more days."The man looked up to the king, then back down. "Yes my Lord. But, there is something I want to share with you, My L
