BLADE'S POV"Get help!"I rushed towards one of the guards and watched him slump to the ground. Trying not to panic, I lifted him off the ground and had him rest on my lap.He was the third recruit to get injured for the day. Probably because they were new or probably because the training was rather harsher than usual- they just kept on falling out."The rest of you should get back to training," I said to them, noticing how engrossed they were becoming in the scene. "He'll be fine. It's nothing serious."With mumbles and muttered words, they all dispersed and returned to their training, leaving me with the injured soldier."Alpha Blade.""Yes?" I raised my head to meet Adam in front of me. Noticing the injured soldier on the ground, he crouched in front of me, checking the soldier out then letting out a sigh. "Oh, Adam.""I see another one of the recruits passed out," he said with another sigh. "Weren't they picked properly? This batch seems the weakest out of all our recruits.""The

BLADE’S POVEvanora’s dad might have seemed to have a problem with my whole kind but I was more than sure that at that moment, the problem was me.It was me he had a problem with. It was me he so desperately wanted to get rid of which was why I knew he was going to accept my proposition very easily.It was simple. In return for him going back on his words to attack my pack, I was going to surrender myself to him. I was going to be all his.It was probably a foolish decision to make but at that moment, I couldn’t think of any other way out. In a way, it was going to be a win-win situation with him getting what he so desperately wanted while I did what was expected of me as Alpha- protecting my people.He didn’t hesitate to accept my proposition, quickly ordering his guards to grab me. Without any objections, I gave up and allowed them to have their grips on me as the rest of their troop led the way back to their coven.It was quite comical. To think that the first time I was getting to

EVANORA'S POV"Evanora? Can I come in?" "Sure."I recognized the voice to immediately belong to Matthew and being the only person I voluntarily allowed in for the past two days, I quickly permitted him to come in.After my last encounter with Blade and my dad in the dungeons, my neck was snapped making me lose consciousness. I had no idea how long it lasted but by the time I regained consciousness I was back in my room, chained to my bed.I felt weak, unable to move my limbs. It was useless to even attempt moving as even if I had the strength to, there was no way it was going to be possible thanks to the chains used to confine me to my bed. I didn't need to think twice to know who was behind it made me wallow in frustration even more. My life was pathetic. Nothing I wanted was going my way and there was nothing I could do as both me and Blade were chained.I had no choice but to succumb to their orders. I was forced to eat and after every meal, I felt weaker. I knew my meals were mi

EVANORA’S POV Morning came and I was woken up earlier than usual. Maids rushed into my room, forcing me to take my bath and get freshened up. After I was done, they styled my hair, forcefully applied light make-up on my face then took out my outfit for the day. It was a black exotic gown I’d never laid my eyes on. Though it was beautiful, I couldn’t help but think of the irony. A beautiful gown for a day that was going to be far from beautiful. At least, there were a few similarities. It was black and looked very suitable for an elite funeral and if everything went in the way my dad planned, we were going to be holding a funeral. Possibly, for more than a single person. Brushing the thoughts away, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The bruises around my neck and wrists from the grip of the chains were covered with necklaces and bracelets, tiny diamonds, and other precious stones glistening around me. “We’re done,” the maids announced after they were done dolling me up. “We’

EVANORA’S POV The dungeons echoed with the sound of my wails as guards burst in and dragged me away from Blade. I yelled, screamed, and pleaded but it was all to no avail as I felt myself get dragged out and thrown at the feet of my father who was waiting for me outside. “Why are you stubborn, Evanora?” he groaned. “I thought you were back to senses so I had my guard down and what did you do? Take advantage of that and compel the guards to escape?” “Dad,” I rushed to his feet. “I’m sorry about that, okay? So forgive me and let Blade go. Okay?” “I knew something was going on with you and that witch. You got her to lie to me about the Prince too, didn’t you?” he shook his head. “I don’t know what you did to have her on your side but it wouldn’t work for me. Guards, take her away.” “No,” I shook my head desperately. “Nothing is going on between me and the witch. I didn’t have her lie to you about me and the prince. We’re truly a bad pair so dad, please-” My words were cut short
