The Alpha's Concubine 41
Masha was confident as she followed them back to the previous room, where her bag was. She could not wait to prove them wrong and lash out on them. She understood the fact that the wolves did not like her, but accusing her of theft? That was beyond the line. The rumors spread so fast that more students joined them as they all headed for the room. Finally, they arrived, and Louise went right for Masha's bag. "This is yours, right?" She lifted it up to Masha, who responded with a nod. "Let's get to work, then." Opening the bag, she emptied it on the floor, letting all the contents spill out. Masha was displeased and wanted to grumble about it, but she froze when she saw unfamiliar content on these floors with her things. The vein on her forehead creased as she felt a skip in her heartbeat. Everyone around her gasped, including the two captains. "Tha

Swiftly, Arabella helped Masha sling onto the back of her horse and began riding away with her. It was a very complicated ride since Masha was unconscious and unstable on the horse, but Arabella was thankful she didn't fall off.Her heart kept cracking at the sight of Masha. The whips had torn some of the fabrics of her dress, leaving her bare skin open and wounded. Her face had imprints on it, and there was even a little cut on her lip. She was a total mess."I am so sorry, Masha," Arabella kept apologizing. "We are almost home."She spurred her horse on, urging it to gallop faster through the dense woods. The wind whipped through her hair, and every jolt and bump in the terrain made her stomach churn.After what seemed like an eternity, they finally got to the palace, and the guards ran after Arabella immediately. As soon as she climbed down from the horse, one of them took Masha down as well, carr

Slowly, Czar lowered the book he had been reading, the pages slipping from his fingers as he tried to process what he had been told. Though, his expression was blank, he couldn't comprehend the feeling he was having inwardly. For a moment, he just looked at Mace, frozen. "She stole?" He asked in a baritone."I do not know for sure, but that was what everyone said. Although, Masha kept insisting she was innocent, they never believed her."Levelly, Czar drew back his chair and stood up, and when he began heading out, Mace needed no one to tell him he was headed for the healer's place. Czar walked into the small stuffy room and was hit with the thick smell of herbs and ointments. Arabella was standing by the door, and she expressed relief when she saw Czar. However, Czar did not spare her a glance as he had his gaze on Masha. His eyes rested on Masha, lying face-down on the bed, her bare back exposed to the world. He felt a lump rise in his throat as he saw the crisscrossing stripes

Done from his father's chambers, Czar returned to the room and found Masha still asleep. He stood in front of the bed and gave her a long, undefined stare. For one, he couldn't comprehend why he felt so bittered seeing her like that. A few weeks ago, it would have meant nothing to him. Even if he had stepped in and found her covered in blood, he'd have walked away without batting a lid. But this—he couldn't comprehend why he couldn't let go of this. It should mean nothing to him. He was right there, lost in thought, when he heard a knock on the door. He cocked his head and turned around to check who it was, and opening it, it turned out to be Torak. Instantly, Czar felt a sudden heat of anger spread through him. His eyes shimmered with resentment as he stared coldly at Torak, who seemed worried at the door. "My prince," Torak said, lowering his head. "Uh, sorry to disturb, but I heard Masha was brought in here? I just got back and heard what happened at the school. So, I am here t

The morning came swiftly. Sephora and the queen were restless in the room as they knew it was time to go to the courtroom. The air was so tensed between them, especially for Sephora, who knew she was in bigger trouble than the queen. The previous night, she had gone to the cell to speak to Louise about it, but seeing that she was placed together with the other tutors, she couldn't bring it up as that would make the rest of them know she was behind it. She felt trapped and doomed. "My queen, what do we do?" Lines of worry etched her forehead. "What if Louise exposes me in the courtroom? It will be very bad for my image." The queen's hands were tied. Last night, she had gone to the King again to talk him into letting the tutors go, but the King seemed angry as well and wanted to know if Masha was truly innocent. As a matter of fact, her persistence was beginning to make the king suspicious. For a long time, she was silent and didn't know what to say. Then, taking a deep breath, she

The room was immediately filled with sharp intakes of breath as everyone shifted their gazes to Sephora. As for Sephora, she felt her legs become weak and her heart jump out of her chest. No, this cannot be happening. She looked around and found all eyes on her, and the thought of having her image tarnished almost made her mad. "You filthy liar!" She stepped forward and yelled at Louise. "How dare you? How dare you try to drag me into your mess? Why on earth would I ask you to do such a thing?" Louise cocked her head to look at her, still on her knees. "Please, Sephora, there is no point hiding it anymore." She said with tears. "You came to me and told me what you wanted it done. You even paid me awesomely for it and gave me the entire idea. You were also the one who spread the rumours about Jaha's escape because you wanted to get the students riled up. Do not deny it, Sephora. Please!" Whispers passed through the room as everyone was shocked. The whole time, they thought Sep

Sephora walked with her head high, trying her best to ignore the judgmental eyes that followed her every move. The warmth of the sun beat down on her face and made her feel vulnerable and exposed. As she walked, she could year the hushed whispers of the people around her, discussing the unfortunate incidence that had happened. It's been five days since it all happened, five days since her image got destroyed. She had been locked up for four days and only got released the previous night. Since then, her life has never been the same. She could feel the respect the people once had for her, vanishing.It irked her to know a bad image had been attached to her name. It made her feel betrayed.She took in a deep breath as she approached the field and found him there - training. Her steps slowed down,and her heart raced in her chest.

All eyes danced around the Alpha Prince as he strode into the room, his shoulders held high with regal poise. The sound of his boots echoed against the floor, and his face was as stony as always."I do not think she deserves those questions, Alpha Maverick," he said suddenly when he got to the head of the table.The people expressed surprise, including Maverick, who wondered if Czar had heard his words.In a tone as cold as an arctic wind, Czar added: "Lady Masha here is a wife to this family; she should not be embarrassed that way."He lowered himself to a seat, dropping the jaws of half of the people in the room.Masha's cheeks warmed up in surprise. Did Czar just speak up for her? Again?Edgily, she took a seat. But Alpha Maverick was greatly offended. How could Czar counter him in public? A little boy he had carried in his arms when his sister birthed him. All of a sudden, he's now a man and feels he can talk back at him.He clenched his fists under the table. Enough of the humili
