ELSA's POVI spent most of my time trying to find a new way to escape the Pack. I knew I had to be smarter this time, to have a foolproof plan. I spent hours on end pacing back and forth in my room, going over different scenarios in my head. I searched for weak spots in the Pack's security, trying to find a way out.I knew I couldn't just run blindly like I did before, I needed a solid plan. I looked out my window and studied the surrounding area, hoping to find a loophole in the security measures.As I sat in my room, I couldn't help but think about Nia. I missed her dearly and wished I could talk to her. But I knew it was risky, as any contact with her would only put her in danger. I had to be careful and not drag anyone else into my mess.But still, I couldn't help but feel so alone. The Pack was all I knew, but I couldn't stay here any longer. I needed to escape and start a new life, away from all of this.Days turned into weeks, and I still couldn't come up with a solid plan. I w
I stood in the corner of the training room, panting heavily as I tried to catch my breath. My chest heaved with each labored breath, and my muscles ached from the intense training session I had just endured. I wiped the sweat from my brow and looked up, meeting the cold, steely gaze of Alpha Arthur."What were you thinking?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. "You know the rules. No magic outside of class."I flinched at the tone of his voice, feeling the weight of his disapproval bearing down on me. I knew I had messed up, but I had never expected him to be so angry. I lowered my eyes, ashamed of my foolishness."I'm sorry, Alpha," I murmured, barely audible above the pounding of my own heart."Sorry isn't good enough," he snapped. "You know the consequences of breaking the rules. You will spend the next week in the cell, and if I catch you using magic outside of class again, you'll be in there for a month."My heart sank as I realized the severity of my punishment. A week in th
Elsa's POVReading in a small cage was fun. At least I thought was. After my recent vendetta and disappointing outcome I decided it was time I stopped wasting my time and learn something, wouldn't hurt right? The walls were cold and the very flat sleeping bag I was given wasn't very ideal but it was useable. Nia had come to drop off some books for me. She left almost immediately doing so, no words were spoken. I knew I still owed her an explanation but it wasn't one I wanted to blurt out. She was great to bring me books and I was grateful for that.The books were in a physical fitness training genre and being in detention wasn't going to stop me from training with it. Nia knew that and it was probably why she gave the books to me.It was the fourth afternoon in and after intense self-training I decided to take a nap. As I fell deeper and deeper into slumber, I found myself in a very green area, probably an island because of the excess green leaves and red fruits. I was walking further
Nia's POV"What am I going to wear? I need something that spells change. I want something that can convince the alpha that I'm not going to run anymore." Elsa repeated for at least the fifth time since I stepped into her room. "You can wear anything you like, this dinner is just like the others, It's not a big deal." I tried reassuring her, I could see where she was coming from, and why she was anxious."No, I need to give the impression that I'm a changed person now. I have put everyone, especially the alpha and you through difficult times believe me when I say this is the very least of the things I plan to do to make it up to you guys." She said, pulling out a cute-looking sundress from her dresser. From the look on her face, it was obvious she had found the perfect dress to wear. I wasn't done talking though."Can I ask you a question?""Yes.""Where is the most important part of your body? That part that determines who you are?" I asked and Elsa thought for a while before answeri
Nia's POVTelling love stories was a hubby of mine, hobby Elsa asked me about my parents, and I dived into it."My dad is a singer. He still sings, that was how he met my mom. It all happened in a bar, he was the singer and she had just returned from wolfing camp, she wolfed out late. According to them, as soon as their eyes caught they both knew it was going to be a forever thing." I said, not being able to wipe out the smile that always cling on my face when I told the story. Elsa was smiling too. Who wouldn't? "Can I ask you a question?" Elsa asked, her smile dimming."Of course.""How did you meet the alpha? Was it an arranged Union? or did you meet the natural way?" "I would say a little bit of both, we were supposed to meet in a particular town, but before the day came we bumped into each other and felt a connection." I summarized. Elsa nodded slowly, deep in thought. "I know you think he isn't capable of expressing soft feelings, The alpha can be a softie, but when you have a
NIA'S POVThe whole pack was seated at the dining table just as Arthur had ordered. He'd said he had an urgent announcement to make. I for one, was curious to know what could have been the reason why we were all summoned. The last time something like this happened, it was to banish a member who had sold us out to the 'Rogue'. From everyone else's, I could tell they were probably thinking the same thing. Just then Arthur entered the large hall, his face was without expression. He sat down, his gaze down and unfocused. Something was up."Due to the last attack on us by the rogue, the number of our soldiers has been slashed. And it's a great risk that a great and enormous team like this one has very few protection forces, so for that, I'm bringing in a protection agency that would train our younger ones on how to fight. I have placed my attention to some people who have the interest to fight." He briefly looked at Elsa, then away almost immediately. The Beta nodded, showing his support.
ARTHUR'S POVElsa was looking at me. With that single question she had just asked, silence reigned. I didn't know why she would ask that; I was a leader, not a tyrant."Who said anything about going back to the dungeon?" I threw back."You've not said anything at all." She said, her hands fiddling with each other. She was nervous."I'm here to apologize for what happened earlier in the hallway," I said, apologizing wasn't a regular thing I do, but I felt like the needed to do that in this situation. Elma's eyes widened, making her look almost animated."I'm sorry?""I apologized for what happened earlier, did you not hear me?" "I did. It's just that you didn't strike me as the apologizing kind.""That's ridiculous, every human being must apologize to someone." When had it gotten like this, we were now talking about the behavioral aspects of people."Okay, you've apologized which I think is great, do I get to participate in the training?""No," I said sternly."Why not? If we're part
ARTHUR'S POVThe way Elsa and Ursula grew quiet had my suspicion going over the roof. While Elsa's eyes looked like they were popping at any moment, Ursula had her eyes anywhere but me."I'm not going to repeat myself.""Um... She was talking about the footman. I found out today that he was a great conversationalist and she was just confirming.""You don't want to see her with the footman?" I asked Ursula. It made no sense."No, I told her to let the maids do certain things for her. She can't keep coming to the kitchen for milk and cookies, a maid was assigned to her, she should use them." "Why don't you use the maids? They are at your disposal after all.""I'm sorry, I would start today," Elsa said, her eyes still wide."Are you okay? You look pale." And she had, her eyes fixed on Ursula."Is there a problem?""No," Ursula answered. "Absolutely nothing. Everything is so good." Elsa exhaled.***"Can I talk to you?" I called after Elsa, who was rushing back toward her room. Sweating.
