Chapter 25Alpha Kai's POVI am taking a walk outside with the Chief and discussing my plans for the selection process. I had already decided I would have the ball on the same day as my birthday. I had also chosen the girl I wanted from the files the chief sent to my office. I decided the best woman suited to be by my side was Luna. The ball is only still being held just for formalities to host the people who had already been invited. I was looking at the Chief and explaining everything I wanted to happen at the ball with him when I suddenly felt someone bump into me, stopping me abruptly from what I'm saying. I looked down at the floor to see who it was that was blind enough not to see me coming.Alexa again! I glare at her, irritated. Was she deaf when I asked her to stay far away from me? Or is she just too dumb to comprehend what I said? I look down at her pathetically laying on her back. I take in her appearance. Her white gown is dirty and muddy, and her hair looks ruffled and
Chapter 26Alexa's POV“My lady,” Kira gasped immediately as I walked into my room. “My lady, what happened? You look......,” she trailed, looking at my soiled clothes.“I'm fine Kira, I just fell somewhere,” I say taking a seat on my bed but standing up immediately, not wanting to soil the neatly made bed with my dirty and wet clothes.“You fell? Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” she fusses. Her eyes worriedly searched my body for any sign of injuries.“There's no need to fuss, Kira, I'm perfectly fine,” I replied amused. “All I need right now is a warm bath,” I told her, taking a look at my dirty clothes.“I will get it ready right away,” she replies and rushes to the bathroom. I stand, pacing all over the room. I walked to the window to see that the pack was as lively as usual. Children were sitting under the moonlight with their families, playing and chatting happily. A smile curved on my lips watching the heart-warming sight.“My lady, your warm bath is ready,” she informs me.“
Chapter 27Alexa's POV“Just say it already,” I say impatiently, scaring Kira. This is probably the first time she has seen me like this. I have always been calm and patient with her, but not right now. I don't have the patience to just sit around and wait for her to talk when she's ready. She has already made me anxious by just calling the Alpha's name. Any news that has to do with the Alpha always turns out to be bad news for me."M..my lady, when I went into the kitchen to get your food, I heard some maids saying some things about the Alpha that he...... I'm uncertain if it's in my place to tell you something like this,” she started to speak but changed the subject all of a sudden.“Who do you serve?” I mutter slowly.“Y…you, my lady,” she stutters.“And what are your duties?” I ask impatiently.“I'm to take care of you, serve you and answer only to you….,”“Exactly, you answer to me,” I say, cutting her off. “And when I say speak, you speak up,” I probe, my patience starting to we
Chapter 28Alexa's POV“Luna, you've not left your room for three days now, don't you feel suffocated?” Kira asks worriedly.I turned my back to her and pulled the blanket that was covering my body all the way to my head.“Luna, at least eat something, if you continue like this, you are going to fall sick,” she says worriedly, moving over to the other side of the bed where I am facing.I turned my back and ignored her again. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, not when today is the day the Alpha is getting a mistress. I had cried for the past three days and I no longer have any tears left. I didn't have the appetite to eat anything or the strength to go anywhere. I just want to lay down in bed all day and cry thinking about my miserable life.“Luna, the ball is in twenty minutes, you have to get ready now else we will be late, the Alpha hates lateness, people that don't stick to time,” she said nervously. The poor girl was having a hard time dealing with my rebellious behavior but
Chapter 29Alexa's POVU…uncle Gaius.Why the hell is he here? Did he find me? Cold sweat broke out all over my body just with that thought. “Alpha Gaius, you made it,” the Alpha says as he turned around to face him.“A…alpha Gaius?” I mutter, pure dread coursing through my veins. So, he is the Alpha of the Grey wood pack now. After framing me and making my brother hate me. He cunningly neglected my brother and made himself the Alpha. I should have known that was his plan all along. He got rid of me because he knew with me around it will be very hard, almost impossible for him to become Alpha. I feel myself seething with anger. I want to turn around and slap him hard right across his face. But I can't do that now, I can't let him see me like this, not when I don't have enough power to defend myself. Not when I'm still labeled as a traitor to the Grey Wood pack, and they all want my head. If I make any slight mistake, and he notices me, he might lie to the Alpha that I'm a traitor wh
Chapter 30Ace's POV“What?” I stared at Alexa surprised, wondering if I really heard her right.“I said teach me the art of swordsmanship,” she repeats confidently.“Why do you want to learn how to fight all of a sudden?” I asked, staring at her skeptically and trying to figure out what was going on.“Are you going to teach me or not?” She replies impatiently.“Not until you tell me where this is coming from?” I answer.She looks towards the stage, where Kai and his new wife were standing.“I'm tired of being weak and useless, even if I can't shift, I want to learn something new,” she replies, staring at me with determination.“So are you going to teach me or not?” She asks again.“Are you sure about this? It's not as easy and simple as it looks. If you are doing this because of someone else, then you should stop. It requires a lot of strength, focuses….,”“I know all that, and I'm doing this for myself, not for anyone else,” she says, cutting me off.“Don't be like that Ace, agree a
Chapter 31Alpha Kai's POVIt's finally done. My long-lost dream has finally come through. I beam happily at Amelie.Amelie.The result of my careful selection. Not only is she beautiful, she's also strong, brave, and brilliant. I heard from her father that she helped out with their war strategies and was also a powerful she-wolf in charge of her packs' security. To top it all, she's beautiful and polite. A complete package. My kind of woman. This is the happiest birthday of my entire life. I feel fulfilled. I can now have children that will take on the Xander name and lead the pack to greater heights. I felt so excited and extremely proud to have her by my side that I introduced her to everyone in a grand way. She deserves it. My eyes locked with Alexa's. She looks hurt and disappointed, but I don't care. It isn't my fault that she's weak or wolfless.The ball came to an end and everyone left to go back to their various packs.“Alpha Kai,” I heard Alpha Gaius of the Grey wood pack
Chapter 32Alexa's POV“Swordsmanship isn't all about just swinging your sword around, there are skills and….,”I yawn cutting Ace off.“There are skills and techniques for…,”I yawn again.“You have to know your…,”I yawn for the third time. “Did you wake me up this early just to lure me back to sleep,” I ask, giving him a disapproving stare?“You have to know the basics first,” he insists.“If I want to know that, I can look it up in the library,” I insist.“Fine,” he grumbles.“Now, let's get to the exciting part,” I said, staring at the sword in his hand.“This?” he asks, pointing to his sword. I nod my head vigorously.“Not so fast, first you will have to unsheathe it,” he says, smirking at me.“Why are you making it sound as if it's hard? Give it here,” I say, stretching my hand for him to hand it over. But he tossed it over to me, and it landed on my feet.“What are you staring at? Pick it up,” he orders.I sighed and bent down to pick the sword up. “Why didn't you just hand…,”
