CHAPTER SIXTEEN.
ELIJAH'S POV
Ella and I had a big fight and she cried so hard that I had to pity her.
Yes, what she did to Cassie was wrong, but in a way, I understand where she is coming from. She feels threatened and what I need to do is prove to her that I don't feel a thing for Cassie.
For the fact that she was mean to Melissa, she apologized and I decided to forgive her.
For the past few days, she has been really nice and I'm convinced that she is back to being the sweet Ella I know.
I love Ella and I'm going to do everything in my power to keep our relationship sailing.

Remember any action you take against Ella will only make our mate hate us more, is that what you want?” I play with her conscience and she lets out a sad purr and stays still.“That’s better”&
CHAPTER NINETEENELIJAH’S POVI stand at the door to Cassie’s ward and see her sitting upright on her bed. The doctor said she was perfectly fine because her wound healed magically fast and I know it’s because she’s an Alpha.Till this moment, I still can’t believe I reacted the way I did when I saw her almost being choked to death by Landon. My soul literally left my body and I completely lost my mind. One of the reasons why I immediately killed him. Word reached me that he had been buried instantly. He wasn’t given a befitting burial despite the fact that he was a Beta because he tried to kill their Alpha.What even gave him the idea?

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE"Cassie," I call in a whisper as I hold her cold, pale face in my hands. Her body has gone totally white and numb and I swear right now, there is this heavy feeling in my heart that's weighing me down.This is the end of me.This is the absolute end of me.How can she die?What happened?Without warning, the tears that had accumulated in my eyes start streaming down and I cry hard like a baby. I should never have treated her poorly.I should never have rejected her.What have I done to myself?"Cassie please, don't do this to me." I cry over her dead body."Elijah" I hear a soft voice call and I abruptly raise up my head and I'm shocked to see Cassie awake.He white and pale face looks normal right now and even her lips that had turned b
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOELLA'S POVTill now, I still haven't gotten any updates about Cassie and I'm curious as fuck.I hope she is dead.I put in a considerable amount of Botox in her food and she will have to be a witch to survive.She is stealing my spotlight in this castle. Slowly but surely, she is capturing Alpha Elijah's heart. I can see that he is falling for her and if I don't act smart, I will be kicked out of this house before I know it.I can't let that happen and I won't.The room door creaks open and Alpha Elijah walks in looking very exhausted and I smile as I walk over to him.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEELIJAH'S POVThe meeting I held with my Beta and Gamma was a powerful one. We made plans on how to go about the investigation and I'm certain that sooner or later, the culprit will be caught and punished accordingly.I spent the night at the hospital with Cassie and I don't need to tell you that when I went back home this morning, Ella and I had a big fight about the issue.What baffles me more, is the fact that right now, I care less about the fact that we are not on good terms. Right now, the only person I'm thinking about is Cassie.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURAs I work in my office, I keep glanceing at two things every now and then.My window and my wrist watch.My window to see if it's dusk already and my wristwatch to see if the time has clocked six pm so I can stop working and go see Cassie at the hospital.Mum and I have been discussing through mindlink all day as I keep wanting to know how Cassie is faring.She was more than grateful when I asked her to go be with Cassie.Mum loves Cassie to bits and to be honest, it terrifies me. Well, maybe it's a Luna thing. I have come to the realization that the only woman she can like for me is my mate, Cassie.An involuntary chuckles escapes my lips when I think about how I had her cuddled up in my arms last night on the hospital bed. The kind of sparks that exploded within me cannot be described and the joy in heart
