~Amara~I lay there motionlessly, afraid to move even one bit before the two people in the room realized that I wasn’t sleeping anymore and found out that I knew about their plans. My brain was whirling a hundred times in one second as I tried to find solutions to my predicament.So the Hollow Ball is in seven days, and that means that I have just six days to plan my escape from this place. And I had to also find a way to take Chad with me. There’s no way that I can possibly leave him in that dungeon to rot away as his strength had left him ever since Alpha Adrik demoted him from a beta to an omega. I was even surprised that he was able to mind-link me at that stage. Most betas would have given up the ghost.I tried to send my thoughts across to him but I couldn’t feel him anymore. Panic surged inside of me as I thought of the worst-case scenarios that could have happened to him. What if he had slumped inside that dungeon and there was no one to attend to him? What if the guards had

~Amara~I made my way to the dungeon, the possibility of seeing Chad again making my heart flutter. I desperately prayed and hoped that he wasn’t seriously hurt.“Katherine said I could come and see him," I said to the guard on duty who glared at me as I tried to round the corner to Chad’s cell.When he nodded his approval, I continued on my way and went to his cell. I could make out his body from the small opening under the cell. He flopped across the floor. The guard was taking a long time to open the cell door so I knelt beside the opening and called out his name softly.There was no answer and I feared that he might have fainted, or that something worse would have happened to him.“Chad? Are you alright in there?”A guttural groan was all I could make out. A sigh of relief escaped my throat. At least he was alive and conscious. That was one thing to be grateful for. Soon enough, one of the guards came and opened the heavy key lock. My heart fell as I took in the sight of the man

~Amara~I quickly swung into action after I visited Chad. And surprisingly, I found out that the guard at the dungeon did have a thing for me. Weird; and I just hoped he wasn’t a creep who loves to be with pregnant werewolves specifically. A copy of the keys of the gate to the dungeon and Chad’s cells were made by someone whom he had directed to me for help and someone whom we could trust. After that, I quickly went back and stylishly returned the key to the guard. I was able to breathe well after going over the first plan.For the second plan, I didn’t need to be so gummed to the waist to Katherine because I knew that somehow, something in her had shifted. And that shift was for good. But that didn’t mean that I wouldn’t try to sweet-talk her once in a while.Which leaves me with Alpha Adrik. Trying to make me believe that I was a hundred percent with him wasn’t my problem. My problem was the thing that might come after it. Alpha Adrik could be compared to a horny dog and just wants

~Lucian~“No. get that out of my face”The servant bowed and backed away, while another came up again with yet some other kind of ridiculous-looking cloth. I glared at him, holding in the urge to grip his neck and snap it so that I could save him the stress of living in this world forever. Because sooner or later, I was going to snap his neck if he wasn’t careful.“Are you this dumb usually? How would you bring me this as an option to wear to the Hollow Ball? You think this is enough to woo my mate back?” I snapped at him.“But my king; these clothes are nice. They’re one of the best clothes that you have” Elsie said from her perched position.If I wouldn’t be damned.She should just thank the moon goddess that she’s like a mother to me. If not, it would have been a different story. And the fact that she knew this was what gave her the effrontery to challenge my words.I whipped my gaze to her and smiled. “Why, Elsie? Would you like to wear them instead? Maybe you’d help wear it in my

~Amara~“You want to break the Beta out of the dungeon? Are you crazy? That stunt can cost you your life!” Lydia whispered harshly, looking towards the door as if there was someone listening to her.“I have to, Lydia. They’re gonna kill him if I don’t”She paused for a moment as if digesting what she just heard. “What do you mean they’re going to kill him? Who are ‘they’?”“Alpha Adrik and Katherine. They want to kill him because he supposedly raped me”I could tell by the confusion on her face that she still wasn’t getting what I was trying to say. She knew that Chad and I were an item so saying that he raped me would be a little confusing for her. but if she was going to help me get Chad out of the dungeon by distracting the guards there and laying false alarms over a fire or something else worthy of attention, then I needed to explain everything to her in detail.“Did he really do that to you? He’s always come across to me as a fine gentleman. How did he suddenly change into a perv
