Alex sat in the sun room all night. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear someone take a seat beside him. "You didn't join us for dinner," Alex turned to look at Daniel. "Yes, I didn't. Wasn't feeling really hungry." "Damien told me about Athena's health. Said you were with her the whole time," "Yes, I was." "Is she getting any better?" "Before I left, she was asleep but I don't know about now. Haven't gone back to her room since then." "You can go now, though. She's awake because she sent someone to hand over the envelope to Heyli." "That's great news," Alex said but he didn't stand on his feet. Infact, he looked really hesitant. "I hope she gets better before tomorrow's evening." Daniel frowned and looked at his Alpha. This wasn't him. He was looking quite unmoved by the whole conversation and didn't even show any interest in going to see Athena. "What's up? Is anything wrong?" Alex sighed and rubbed his chin. His eyes

Today was going to be either fun or a disaster, Heyli thought as she jogged towards the perimeter, hoping that she would be welcomed warmly. From where she was, she could see a bunch of junior warriors training and sitting around so she thought that maybe they hadn't started after all. On getting there, she stopped jogging and waited to catch her breath. When she already took in a bit of air, she began walking towards the perimeter. Someone bumped into her and ran past her and Heyli nearly fell. "Hey!" Heyli called out but the person was gone before she could make any other statement. Sighing, she shook her head as she watched the girl who had bumped into her take a seat on the concrete slab and look at her with a wicked, knowing look. "She did it on purpose," Heyli muttered. The girl who had hit her wasn't the only one who was staring at her. As she entered the perimeter, she noticed that other people around were also staring at her and talking with each other in whi

"What you mean is that we won't be going home anytime soon?"Ciara asked as she put on the last dress she had in her trunk. She hadn't planned on staying here for this long so she didn't bring enough clothes. She remembered how Daniel told her that she was taking so much on their way here. Who knew that they were going to stay for much longer? Daniel nodded. "Yes, we are. Honey, you should understand why we're staying for much longer." Ciara nodded. "I do. But all of my dresses have been worn and I can't wear them again." "That isn't a problem. I'd get one of the servants to wash them." Daniel said and stood on his feet. "I miss Blue moon," Ciara suddenly said and flopped into bed. "I miss our room and how comfortable I am there." "Aren't you comfortable here?" Daniel sighed and asked. "Not as comfortable as I am in Blue moon. I'm sure you feel the same way, too," Daniel shrugged. "I've never really given it a thought. But you know we'd go back so

Athena stood before her subjects. Most of them were commoners and a few of them were among the elites. They all stood before the King in the hall as they wondered why they weren't outside, in front of the field where offenders were commonly executed. She was unsmiling and as soon as she cleared her throat, everyone focused their attention on her. "I understand that you all are talking about the execution and all. Why am I not outside addressing you all before the offender. That's because I have decided that he will not be killed anytime soon," Damien looked at Athena in surprise and the others began to talk in whispers about how ridiculous it was to extend the life of an offender but Athena didn't care. Knowing that her reasons were valid, she waited till the murmur had died down. "My King, why would you say such a thing? He is to be killed before the full moon!" Damien said. Athena turned to look at him with a smile on her face. "Be patient and listen to w

"What do you want?" Heyli hissed as she leaned back against the bed that had been raised halfway in the air. Harrison shrugged. "Kolinsky asked me to check up on you. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to," Heyli gave him a dirty look. She was starting to dislike him. "As you can see, I am perfectly alright. You can go back and report to him," "Of course, I will," Harrison sang as he began to walk away from her. "I also won't forget to tell him that you were beaten by Kayla," Heyli ignored him and decided to leave but when she realized that a doctor or a nurse might have put her here, she decided to wait and in no time, a woman with platinum blonde hair stepped out of a door that she was just seeing for the first time. "Hello, my name is Doctor Quinn," The lady said as she smiled broadly at Heyli. "Hi, Doctor Quinn," Heyli replied quietly as she studied the woman. Quinn looked to be in her early thirties. She was young and beautiful and her hair was
