ELYSIA'S POV:At first, I thought the knock must have been from imagination, I was done with all my chores for the day and I thought it would be nice to just stay back in my room and spend the rest of the day there. It could even help me avoid Alana and Mitchelle, and all of their troubles.But the banging on my door at the moment seemed to be a distraction to my plans of relaxation.The banging became clearer, erasing all doubts that the knock actually came from my door.I stood up and dragged my feet to the door, the Alpha at it again.I pushed the door open to come face to face with some guards who had stern faces.My eyes widened at the sight of them and I felt my heart constrict in my chest."The Alpha has called for you." The one who had the sternest face and the deepest voice amongst them spoke up. He possessed the kind of face that would make you quiver in front of him. If half of the guards in the palace had his kind of looks, there would not be any issues of rogue attacks in

ELYSIA'S POV:The rest of the evening progressed with me staying put in my room and refusing to leave, then the fact that the Alpha would not miss a chance to yell at me got me upset, especially because he did not even bother finding out what happened before taking Alana's and Mitchelle's side against me.I leaned by the window and let the cold evening air hit my face while I stared at the dark sky and the stars scattered all over. I could not help but admire how beautiful the sky looked at night.Soon, I heard a soft knock on the door.I was startled at first, but then I let out a deep sigh. It was definitely not the Alpha or one of the two witches the knock sounded too soft and calm to be either of them.My first intentions were to lie still on my bed and ignore the knock, but then my curiosity got the better part of me and I found myself walking to the door.A maid was standing at the door with a mug of hot sizzling chamomile tea and chocolates, presumably for me."I was asked to g

ASHER'S POVMitchelle's hands craftily crawled up my thighs, then upwards towards my chest.My gaze rested on Elysia all the while, and I watched how her jaw tightened and her eyes dropped.Her face contorted with every inch Mitchelle's hand travelled through my body and I immediately felt guilty for making plans to get her jealous.She cleared her throat, and I could see she was having difficulties swallowing her food.I turned to face Mitchelle who was all over me, and doing as much as she could to seduce me and shifted uncomfortably on my seat.The thought of asking her to leave crossed my mind since seeing Elysia like that pricked me a bit.But then I thought of her stubbornness and I thought she really deserved to pay for it."You look like you just woke up from a long nap," I said to Mitchelle in the most flirtatious voice I could muster at that time, even though I was getting a bit irritated by her touches.My eyes remained on Elysia all the while, and I noticed that she got mo

I remained in my room and hid under the sheet even after the Alpha left until the light shone on my face the next morning to indicate the break of day.The anger I felt towards the Alpha the previous night still lingered in my mind the next morning, it made me grudgingly stay back in my room for several hours.When I finally left my room, the palace was already bustling with activities. But then I noticed something about the maids as soon as I stepped out even though it was quite usual for me to see the maids huddled together like that most times of the day, this time around, it looked like they were talking about a more prominent event that took place over the course of the morning. And with the way they all stopped and peered at me when I appeared in the hallway, they seemed to be talking about me again.Did something happen while I was asleep?I walked further down the hallway, finding my way to the kitchen. The maids I walked past as I went to the kitchen equally had sneers on the

ELYSIA'S POVThe doctor came in the next morning to tell me that I was free to leave the hospital since I was already feeling better.The doctor was giving me instructions on things to do for the next few days after leaving the hospital when the Alpha showed up in front of the door.I raised my brows when I looked at him."How are you feeling?" He asked when he came over to my bedside."I thought you've gone," I said in a whisper."Is that the answer to my question?" He asked as he tried to feel my temperature by touching the back of my neck. "When asked a question, you should give the answer to the question."I felt overwhelmed by his show of concern, and I was finding it difficult to believe he was actually being that way towards me."We should go." He said in a soft voice that didn't sound like his usual cheeky or nonchalant self. I repeatedly shrugged my shoulders.He had his hand around my shoulders as we walked back to the palace.By the time we arrived at the palace, two guards
