Chapter Forty-twoAkira's Point Of ViewYesterday when she barged out in anger, I thought of giving her space but I was restless. She was wearing very thin clothing when she left the house. She could be cold. Where could she have gone? I could not keep calm, I had to go out to look for her but no matter where I looked, I could not find her. I was beginning to go crazy. I could not catch her scent inside the palace so I decided to search for her outside the palace. On my way, I ran into Alice. "Akira, what are you doing out at this time?" She questioned but I was in no mood to answer her questions. I walked past her and she pulled me back. "Where are you going? It's quite late." "I have to get to something. What are you doing out?" "Didn't you feel it? The earthquake. I thought that was why you're outside too?" I shook my head. "No. Nothing is going on outside, you should go inside." I said. "It's cold," I added before proceeding to leave. She pulled me back again and I growled i

Chapter Forty-fourAlexa's Point Of View "Where are you coming from?" He asked again as he came toward me. "Uh..." I stuttered. I cleared my throat and took a step backward. "I just...went to the bathroom." I said and he looked at me like I was crazy. "Bathroom? Dressed like that? What? Did you perform a song for the soaps and shower?" I shook my head. "If that's not the case then what? And what's with the cloak?" I hummed as I scratched my head for a lie. "It's new!" I blurted out. "What?" "Raya brought in new sets of cloaks for me so I thought I should try them out and walk around the palace with it." "Since when do you fancy flaunting your... cloaks?" "Um..." "Alexa?" He called as he came closer. I kept taking steps back until my back hit the wall. He leaned his hand against the wall and moved his face closer to mine. His eyes searched mine and he chuckled. "I just can't figure out what you're thinking." I batted my eye lashes in confusion. "what...what do you mean?"

Chapter Forty-sixAlexa's Point Of ViewLooking left and right cautiously, I went into my room and rushed to open the envelope. I just received a new letter from Lyell. He replied quicker than I thought. I brought out the letter and began to to read. "Gosh, I can't believe you're really alive, Alexa. I was so happy when I received your letter. I'm sorry for not contacting you all these years. Honestly, I went through hell in the hands of Darco. I was caged underground and tortured by him. I was able to escape a few months ago and I sought for you immediately I left. I was told you were taken away and my investigation led me to your pack. I was satisfied to see you were doing well. I wish to meet with you, Alexa. I can't sneak in there because of the security. We can meet in the town, Alexa." Sneak in? Why would he sneak in? He could just come and tell Akira that he seeks for me. Or I can even tell Akira before hand. He doesn't have to sneak in before seeing me. I picked up my pen a

Chapter Forty-eightAkira's Point Of View"Alpha, we have the spies in the dungeon already." Gorki, the head warrior, tells me, walking into the office with his heeled boots making clicks against the floorboards. I drop my pen and look up, "Perfect," I compliment their achievement and he smiles."Lady Alice specifically took part in that only for your love. You should give her a try, Alpha." Gorki says jokingly but my wolf doesn't take it as a joke. I fight the urge to pounce on him and remind myself he's my warrior. I calm my wolf down and stand up, dropping the paper sheet on the desk."Say anything, but don't step a foot out of the office. And you might just want to tell Raya to prepare for a gorgeous dinner." His blue doe eyes gleam at the mention of her name. Clearly, he has feelings for the woman every other person in the pack counts to be lowly. I leaned back and eyed him up and down. Since when did he start liking her? Have they even ever met? "Or you might like to offer yours

Chapter Fifty Ace's Point Of View"Young man, here we are! Red Orleans! The land of peace and unity!" A month. That was how long it took me to locate this place. I would have gotten lost if not for this nice elderly man who saw me on the way. He asked where I was headed and I told him. For some reason, he took a liking to me and led me here. Red Orleans. It took us just a day to get here. "You know where to go from here, right?" He asked me and I nodded."Thank you so much." He shook his head. "Don't thank me. I see you have a purpose here that was why I helped you. Not just anyone can come here, you know?" He said and I nodded. That was exactly what that old woman told me. "Have a nice stay here!" He beamed as he walked way, dragging his cart behind him. I looked around where I was. Everywhere was bubbling and buzzing with different creatures. Some that I don't even know. I adjusted my backpack and walked into a stall near me."Welcome! What can I get you?" I heard a small voi
