ELYSIA'S POV:It was cold by the time I woke up the next morning, and I was alone in bed. The cold I felt despite being covered with the sheets gave me a feeling of emptiness, especially since I found myself all alone in Asher's bed that morning.While I was still trying to gather myself and think about last night's event, the bathroom door opened and the Alpha walked into the room all dressed up, his hair looked ruffled and he brushed it backwards with his fingers.He cast me a simple glance and looked away."You are awake." He said coldly simply watching the space in front of him like it was the most interesting thing in the world, like what we just had meant absolutely nothing to him.I scoffed inwardly like it wasn’t like I expected it to mean anything in the first place.He fumbled in his wardrobe for a while and eventually pulled out a piece of clothing then turned back to me."I will call you again when I have a need for you, but for now you can get out." He said and walked out
ASHER'S POV:I returned to my room that night feeling a bit exhausted from the day's work. I thought a cold shower would do much to relieve the stress of the day while I await Elysia's arrival.Would she even show up?There was definitely no way she wouldn't, after all the pleasure I gave her the previous night, she certainly would come back for more.A smirk played on my lips as I stepped into the washroom to take a shower.Last night's event started to play on my mind once again, and I suddenly started feeling myself getting hard at the thoughts of her.By the time I was done in the shower, I went back to my room and lay on the bed awaiting Elysia's arrival. My eyes focused on the ticking clock hanging on the wall.My heart beat erratically as with each tick sound the clock made, I felt the excitement of the anticipation of her arrival.Soon, I was starting to get impatient since she seemed to be nowhere in sight as time went by.Thirty minutesOne hourAnother hour passed and she w
ELYSIA'S POV:At first, I thought the knock must have been from imagination, I was done with all my chores for the day and I thought it would be nice to just stay back in my room and spend the rest of the day there. It could even help me avoid Alana and Mitchelle, and all of their troubles.But the banging on my door at the moment seemed to be a distraction to my plans of relaxation.The banging became clearer, erasing all doubts that the knock actually came from my door.I stood up and dragged my feet to the door, the Alpha at it again.I pushed the door open to come face to face with some guards who had stern faces.My eyes widened at the sight of them and I felt my heart constrict in my chest."The Alpha has called for you." The one who had the sternest face and the deepest voice amongst them spoke up. He possessed the kind of face that would make you quiver in front of him. If half of the guards in the palace had his kind of looks, there would not be any issues of rogue attacks in
Asher’s POV:I easily snapped the rogue's head out of his neck without much ado and smashed the other one's head on the wall. There were splashes of blood everywhere, and I could feel blood dripping from my claws.We were managing to keep the rogues away, though they seemed to be much in number.I was breathing hard as I watched the rogues scattered all over the premises. Soon, a guard ran up to me panting hard."Some rogues have managed to break into the palace, they gained entrance into the main building." He explained.I felt a constriction in my chest at his words, and for some reason, Elysia first crossed my mind."Where is everyone?" I asked, panting hard."They have all been sent to the safe room." The guard answered.Including Elysia? I wanted to ask but I managed to stop myself on time. If everyone was in the safe room, it only meant that Elysia was with them as well. Plus, I didn't want to be too further.My heart felt a bit at peace, knowing that there was no way the rogues
ELYSIA'S POV:The rest of the evening progressed with me staying put in my room and refusing to leave, then the fact that the Alpha would not miss a chance to yell at me got me upset, especially because he did not even bother finding out what happened before taking Alana's and Mitchelle's side against me.I leaned by the window and let the cold evening air hit my face while I stared at the dark sky and the stars scattered all over. I could not help but admire how beautiful the sky looked at night.Soon, I heard a soft knock on the door.I was startled at first, but then I let out a deep sigh. It was definitely not the Alpha or one of the two witches the knock sounded too soft and calm to be either of them.My first intentions were to lie still on my bed and ignore the knock, but then my curiosity got the better part of me and I found myself walking to the door.A maid was standing at the door with a mug of hot sizzling chamomile tea and chocolates, presumably for me."I was asked to g
I went back to my room that night without finishing my dinner, the rest of the evening had me staying back in my room and reflecting on what I had just seen transpire between the Alpha and the two women. Did the Alpha really care about me that much to scold them because of me?I did everything within my power to not leave my room throughout the rest of the evening because I didn't want to cross part with the Alpha or even with Alana or Mitchelle.My plot to avoid the Alpha that night was successful, up until the next day. I stayed back in my room even after daybreak, for fear that I might run into the Alpha if I stepped out.I stayed by the window instead and looked through it. Thankfully, there was a small garden behind my window. It was not much of a fancy one, but it had lots of beautiful flowers planted in them. They had all opened and shone bright in the morning sun, their scents filled the air and I closed my eyes to savor them while sniffing.My eyes snapped open when I heard
ASHER'S POVMitchelle's hands craftily crawled up my thighs, then upwards towards my chest.My gaze rested on Elysia all the while, and I watched how her jaw tightened and her eyes dropped.Her face contorted with every inch Mitchelle's hand travelled through my body and I immediately felt guilty for making plans to get her jealous.She cleared her throat, and I could see she was having difficulties swallowing her food.I turned to face Mitchelle who was all over me, and doing as much as she could to seduce me and shifted uncomfortably on my seat.The thought of asking her to leave crossed my mind since seeing Elysia like that pricked me a bit.But then I thought of her stubbornness and I thought she really deserved to pay for it."You look like you just woke up from a long nap," I said to Mitchelle in the most flirtatious voice I could muster at that time, even though I was getting a bit irritated by her touches.My eyes remained on Elysia all the while, and I noticed that she got mo
I woke up to the bright lights seeping in from the open window shining on my face, my eyes fluttered open and I found out it was way past my waking up time.I lay still on the bed, still covered in the sheets. But then I noticed something unusual in my room. I had been close to the Alpha long enough to know what his scent was like, and it was all over my room and my bed, I also noticed I had one of his shirts on. That made my heart flutter a bit and caused an overwhelming feeling.My eyes searched the room unconsciously to ensure I was in my room and not in his. I equally searched my brain to recall what must have happened between us the previous night.I remembered I had fallen asleep on the terrace and then…Just then, the bathroom door opened and all the answers to my question came staring at me in the face as soon as the Alpha stepped out of the bathroom, bare-chested. But that in turn gave room for more questions as I sat up on the bed, I were still glued to his torsoHe caught m
