Chapter Sixty-Four Alina's POV "What am I going to do about this?" I repeatedly asked myself as I sat quietly on my bed. It had been several days since my husband returned to the Pack and only a few times had I gone to see him. I couldn't stand to behold him the way he was looking but I planned to visit him since I heard that he was finally awake. But that wasn't the problem that got to me the most. Not even close. Ever since Murray returned to the Pack with Elsa, there has been a strange aura about him. Each time we crossed paths, I couldn't help but halt my movement as something in me reached out to him very strongly. His smell got more and more intoxicating and after the last meeting we had where he told me about a meeting with the elders that was to be held by the end of the week, I was convinced that he was my mate. It felt so strange. We had been around each other for so long and yet, I never took notice of that. Nothing about him suggested anything like that. I had hea
Chapter Sixty-Five Alpha Davon's POV "Elsa, in front of the entire council of elders, please tell us what you just said to the Queen and me," I ordered Elsa, sitting on my throne due to the grave nature of the issue at hand. After Elsa's presence in the room and her revelation that my meal was poisoned, I took it upon myself to call a meeting with the elders and make my way to the throne room. If it was indeed true that the food was poisoned, it would be the second time that an attempt would be made on my life and I couldn't let it go on. Elsa was never going to always be there to save my life. They both helped me get to my feet, Alina and Elsa, after trying in vain to counsel me against going to that meeting. Then they led me out of the room to the throne room where I sat on my throne and awaited the arrival of the elders, Murray and Raymond. I had them bring the maid who served me to the throne room so that she, too, could also hear the accusation that was being levied at her
Chapter Sixty-Six Alpha Davon's POV "Ah," I yawned as fatigue got the better of me as soon as I was made to sit on the bed by Elsa after such an exhausting meeting. "I think you should lie down. You're clearly very tired," she said to me and I didn't need any further persuasion to do just that. I lay on the bed quickly, stretching as much as I could as I yawned one more time. I needed to get some sleep and I knew it, but I couldn't pass on an opportunity to talk to Elsa even if it was for a short time. I shut my eyes for a while just to reminisce all that happened earlier on in the throne room. I wondered if I had made the right choice by asking a guard to bring the food to the throne room and leaving it very close to Linda. If only I had kept it away from her, maybe she'd have still been alive. Perhaps, I'd have been able to find out who was behind those attempts on my life because after spending so much time and energy, I was still left with nothing. The only thing that I ach
Chapter Sixty-Seven Murray's POV "What the hell is happening to me?" I said to myself over and over again, struggling to get a grasp of the way that I felt within me. For a whole week, I had barely spent any time with Elsa, save the few times when I went to see my brother and at night when we both got back to the room too tired to say anything but a subtle goodnight before dozing off. It was a weird relationship but I could understand that she was very busy tending to my brother during the day. It was normal for our time to reduce because of that. What wasn't normal was that I wasn't just spending time with Mandy while she was gone but with Alina. It was so bad that even Mandy had begun to suspect me even though I always denied it and shut her up each time she brought the matter up. I knew she was no fool though. We used to meet every day before that time. But I reduced it to once in two days so that I could make room for Alina who had no problem with that, seeing that she knew
Chapter Sixty-Eight Elsa's POV "I know that Alpha Davon is now alright. He's hale and hearty. I saw him just yesterday and he was all smiles as he walked around the kitchen just to greet us all. He's a kind one, but Elsa honey, you don't have to leave the Pack," Aby tried to dissuade me from leaving in her usual verbose manner. "We could just stay here. You'll be the wife of the Prince. That's something huge, isn't it? No one's gonna maltreat you. You're part of the royal family. On the other hand, I get to have my friend with me and you get to have the most adorable friend that anyone can ever have… Me." I always knew that it was going to come to that. After the last encounter we had when I attempted to leave the Pack with Prince Murray, I was convinced of her dramatic nature. I just didn't know what to do about it. Somehow, it felt like she was the only one who was keen to have us stay together. She might have thought that way in her mind because only she made the effort and I l
Chapter Sixty-Nine Elsa's POV For a few seconds, Murray just kept staring at us and said nothing. Then he slowly closed the door behind him and walked towards us with a better visage. "What's going on here?" He asked. "I just came here not so long ago to let Alpha Davon know that we'll be leaving the Pack tomorrow. He doesn't seem to agree with that." "Really?" Murray got to the bed and sat by Alpha Davon's right hand. "But I already told you that brother. We need to leave soon. We must do so." Alpha Davon shook his head and frowned. He was displeased but there was nothing he could do about it because our minds were already made up. Yet, he was willing to try. "You wouldn't stay back? Even for me, brother?" "Even for you. I can't remain in the Pack. I'm sorry." "Okay then," Alpha Davon replied, finally conceding that we couldn't get us to stay back. "All I can say to both of you is that you should go well. May the Goddess be with you both and grant you a safe trip." "Thank yo
Chapter Seventy Elsa's POV It was evening and everything was set for us to leave the Pack. The warriors were all dressed up with their armours on and the carriages were ready. Alpha Davon stepped out of the throne room with Alina by his side as he prepared to get into the carriage so that we could head out. As they walked, I wondered why Alina had to be such a coward, especially since she wasn't actually as weak as she portrayed herself to be. She was just scared of wars because she probably didn't want to put her life on the line. "Are you set?" Alpha Davon asked, as they both got to where I stood and I nodded, not wanting to say a word because Alina was there. She was already wearing a squint as soon as Alpha Davon spoke to me and I didn't want to make things any worse than they already were. They walked past me and I followed behind until we got to our carriage. Alpha Davon and I were to travel in the same carriage whilst the rest of the people entered the other carriages
Chapter Seventy-One Elsa's POV I quickly moved to the right to evade the arrow. I managed to evade it but it was a bit too late. It grazed my skin, drawing a bit of blood from it and I held it, shutting my eyes in pain. "Are you hurt?" Alpha Davon rushed to me looking very concerned. "I'm fine. It's just a scratch. Nothing to worry about at all. Let's go kick their asses." I used my sword to cut out a part of my dress and with it, I tied the wound so that it wouldn't bleed so much and then, I began to look around so that I could find out who attacked me. Our men did the same too as two other men had fallen to the floor, killed by an arrow shot to the neck and the tip of those arrows were made of silver. Suddenly, one of our men faced his bow upwards and shot his arrow and immediately, a man fell from a tree which wasn't so far away from where I stood. "Aim high!" Alpha Davon yelled at the men as we saw that the enemies had covered themselves with leaves so that they'd remai
