ELYSIA'S POVThe next few days came with a hullabaloo of emotions and several uncertainties and scepticism, I found myself torn between trusting the Alpha's promises and believing Finnegan.I would have pushed his words to the side, but I couldn't just help it because he sounded convincing enough. And if he was lying, what reason did he have to do that?Just like I learnt from the Alpha, he was the apprentice to the sorceress, I wondered which business he had telling me all of those things.The thought of all of these stole sleep from me for the next few days, I found myself always pondering about it and giving the Alpha suspicious looks.That morning, I decided to put an end to all of it, I decided to stop letting myself have sleepless nights over the issue, but there was no way it would be possible to stop thinking about it if I didn't get to satisfy my curiosity and get the assurance that Finnegan was not telling the truth so I decided to tell Asher everything Finnegan had told me
ELYSIA'S POVEvery step I took away from the borders of the pack came with more uncertainty although weak because I had gotten all conviction from Finnegan that the Alpha wouldn't care what happened to me, most importantly my life would be in danger if I remained there and had his child, so I knew I was doing the right thing by going away from him.The forest was dry and empty, and apart from the light sounds from animals around the forest, and rustling of dry leaves when I stepped on them, the forest would have been completely calm and quiet.Because of my pregnancy, it was easy for me to get tired, thereby making the journey even harder for me but I was determined to keep going even though I felt like I was going to break down anytime soon.I felt dry and completely tired in the inside, my limbs were getting weaker and my heart beat faster with every step I take. And just when I thought I was going to die of dehydration, I came across a stream in the middle of the woods.I knew ther
ASHER'S POVI had been sitting in my office for the past few hours since I woke up but I could hardly even bring myself to concentrate on my work even though there was quite a whole load of work to do.It was almost impossible to bring myself to stop thinking about Elysia, to thoughts of how occupied my mind and clouded my reasoning that it became impossible for me to think of anything other than her.But there was a slight clench inu chest when I thought of her, especially when I remembered what I said about her when Nikolai accused me of liking her. I had called her an omega and I strongly regretted it. I regretted it the very instant I said it, but as a result of my pride and because I didn't want Nikolai to see me as a weak person, I was unable to take it back. I had also spent the whole of that day and the next days avoiding going in contact with her. I was well aware that it was guilty consuming me, and I knew I would have to deal with it eventually whether I liked it or not.I
ELYSIA'S POVThere was a glint in the Alpha's eyes as he commanded his men to take me and keep me hostage so I could be used against Alpha Asher. He looked like he could not believe his luck, like a hunter whose prey managed to find its way into his territory without any ado."Lock her up," he commanded.I shuddered as two guards came over to my side and tried to grab hold of me.My heart was beating fast, but I also knew I couldn't let them take me that easily. Just when they attempted to get hold of me, adrenaline kicked in and I shifted into my wolf form and tried to get away from them.Just as I expected, the men gave me a very hot chase and it did not take long before the two men surrounded me.I heard the Alpha give out a loud cackle which sounded like he was mocking my failed attempt at getting away from his men.Although I was surrounded and clearly outnumbered, I still refused to give up, instead, I took the two men in a fierce fight.They must have been the least strongest o
ELYSIA'S POVI was still fuming at the guard as he walked in, but this time around he didn't come in alone, he came in the company of the other guards who must have been waiting outside."I'm going to teach you a very bitter lesson." The guard said as soon as they walked in. One of them walked over to stand behind me and held me down while the other one charged towards me and started kicking me repeatedly on several parts of my body, especially my stomach.I winced and wriggled with every pain his kick inflicted on me, but there was nothing I could do to fight back because of the chains which were used to hold me down.The pain became so unbearable but he wouldn't, still, he wouldn't stop, he kept dealing me more kicks, and each kick came with a stronger impact and more excruciating pain that the last till I couldn't take it anymore and passed out.It was total darkness and complete numbness for me for the next few moments that passed.My eyelids were heavy when I finally forced them
ASHER'S POV:I charged towards the rogues, fearing that they must have found Elysia and hurt her. They must have recognized me and tried to run, but I outran them and got hold of their leader.I held him by the neck and pushed him roughly against a tree."Where is she?" I asked straight up."Where is who?" He asked looking at me confused."Where is Elysia?" I asked impatiently and pushed against him harder. The other rogues had gathered around because apparently they could not leave without their leader, but they were too scared to launch an attack."I do not have the time to play games with you, where is the she-wolf you ran into here? What have you done to her?"The man whom I held onto suddenly raised his brows and it seemed like realization just hit him."We didn't touch her, I swear to you we didn't harm her." He pleaded with me but I didn't let go of his neck."He is saying the truth." The other rogues immediately agreed. "We did see her, and we chased her but we didn't touch he
ELYSIA'S POV:My eyelids were heavy and they hurt badly as I tried to force them open, and with the way the light shone on my eyes, I thought I had died and was in heaven already.I felt as if I was floating in an endless layer of cloud, the only thing managed to keep me in touch with reality is the pain and heaviness I felt all over my body and my eyes. I managed to probe my eyes open, and all were saw were cloudy blurry images all over the room I was in. I managed to life my right hand and rubbed my eyes slightly with it, and the mists covering my eyes started to disperse slowly. It finally came to my awareness that I was not in heaven as I had thought, I was lying on a soft bed which didn't feel like my bed, neither did it feel like the hard floor in Alpha Jace's dungeon where I was tied with chains.My breath hitched when the cloud like substance covering my face fully dispersed and I saw an image which immediately caused all the memories of everything that happened recently to fl
