LOGINElena’s POVAccording to Tess’s advice, I start waking up early to go sunbathing under the early sun of the morning. She promises this will help alleviate some of my stress and I’m really hoping it turns out to be true. As I make my way back, I notice the whispers and the corridors of the palace. I believe it is just normal gossip from the palace workers and decide to ignore it.However, by the time I get back to my room, I can’t help shake off the feeling that something bigger is at play.Thankfully, Bianca is in my room and no matter how early it is, I already know she has some information.“What is going on in the palace? Why does it look like everyone has something to whisper about but I know nothing of it?”She’s looking away from me, but as I ask the question, I notice her body going still.“Bianca, is everything all right?”She turns to me, smiling. “ Of course, your majesty. Why do you ask?”Color is starting to drain from her face. “Well for starters, you look for no reason
Damien’s POV“Get the hell out of my room,” I yell once. She stares back at me, eyes wide. “Your majesty, I’m only trying to help you have a good time.”“Are you deaf? I said get out. Who the hell gave you permission to come into my room.”I pause, yelling out the guard in front of my door. “Do not bother,” she says once, voice changing to something deeper.“What did you just say?” I question, voice slow.She smirked. “You heard me, your majesty. I said, do not waste your time. Your guards are far from your door and they will not hear you. I don’t know why you’re making a big deal out of this, I’m just here to give you a good time.”Pause.Her words continue ringing in my ear.My guards are not in front of my door?Without being told, I know something is wrong. “Who gave you permission to come in?” “Of course they did. It’s not like I can come into your room without meeting them first. But I also gave them instructions of my own. They had to stay far away from the room as the alph
Damien’s POV“So you mean to tell me all this while trying, you’ve not been able to come up with anything?”He swallows. “Unfortunately, no.”“And I’m supposed to believe you set this meeting up to look for solutions to protect the omegas?”Silence. “Yes, yes, your majesty.”Silence again. “And the high-born of this pack.”There it is. Finally, he has said the main thing that made him call for this meeting. Of course, he doesn’t care about the omegas. He’s just worried about himself and his fellow elders. The elite of the society.As soon as this thought crosses my mind, I quickly realize something I have been missing.In all the attacks we’ve heard of, none of them have ever been directed towards the elders or the elite. Of course we’ve always had our suspicion that some of them were working with my father, but this, this was a confirmation. There were people helping him from the inside. Of course, he would never do anything to go against them. He would never use them to get back
Damien’s POVI sit in the middle of my room, a bottle of drink I hand even though I’ve not been able to bring myself to drink it.The only thing I can push myself to do is think about everything happening around here with my father’s image plastered all over it.Every morning came with a different kind of news of his hand work. If it isn’t mad omegas, it is dead ones. The man is doing all he can to cause me frustration. It's as if he wants the omegas to denounce me themselves just to teach me a lesson. Just to mock me that people who are considered low level are rejecting me even though I tried hard to pull them close. “Your majesty, what are you doing?” Vale ask, clearly shocked to see the bottle in my hand. I look up, surprised to see him in my room.“When did you come in?”He sighs. “You didn’t hear me coming in? The guards announced, but we got no response so I had to come in.”I close my eyes for a moment, letting the pain of the situation settle within me. He crouches low, ha
Elena’s POVNight rolls up and as I watch my son beside me on the bed, I can barely catch any sleep.The only thing I can think of is what his grandfather could be doing at this point. I’m not stupid enough to believe the man would not try to harm my son, after all, he tried to do the same to his.It doesn’t take long before I pull myself off the bed, pacing back-and-forth in the middle of my room.I recall what happened with Bianca after my meeting with Damien.I became the thing I was angry at the man for, giving rules that seemed unreasonable to the girl and no matter how much I wanted to stop myself, I couldn’t.At this point, as shameful as it is for me to admit, everyone seems like a suspect. I look at the wall clock, it is well deep dark hours of the night. I should be resting. According to everyone, I am a mother to a new child so I need all the rest I can get.I laugh to myself because the situation seems funny. It’s not like I don’t want to rest. It’s just that I can’t. I
Elena’s POV“What do you mean you dreamt about this?” Damien asks, sounding somewhat surprised.I nod my head slightly. “Exactly what I said. Although I couldn’t remember and spent all morning trying to figure it out. But now that you’ve said it, it’s all just came rushing into my mind. Besides, I’ve been feeling off since morning and my lunaris powers have been acting up. I couldn’t find a reason for it earlier, again until you said this.”He squints his eyes in confusion. “But isn’t that strange? Don’t you only feel things that are physical?”I shake my head but before I can give him a response, Reva jumps in.“No, your highness. Her powers go beyond the physical. They can also reach a mystical point.”“So what does this mean? Are we saying this is something mystical?” he follows, staring at me.I did not think about it before, but now that Reva says it, a new wave of interest courses through me. “Mystical? Why would you think this, Reva? Have you managed to find a culprit for the
Damien’s POV “What do you think about this? You must admit my idea was a good one, right?” Vale asks me, still fawning over the success of the party he suggested.I nod slowly, gulping down another cup of wine. “Yes, since you want to hear it so badly, yes, your suggestion came out perfectly.”He
Damien’s POVI sit in the middle of the cabin, wondering why she’s taking longer than usual to get here.Finally, after a while of waiting, I hear her footsteps and a moment later, the door pushes open and she walks in.“Hey, what happened? You’re kind of late.”She stares at me, lips parted emitti
Damien’s POV“Why are you so quiet? It’s very unusual of you.” I finally ask, unable to bear Vale’s silence anymore.“Well that’s because I’m thinking,” he replies, jaw tightening.“Hmm, thinking? And what is so serious that has you so deep in thoughts and quiet?” I ask, although deep down, I alrea
Elena’s POV“What the hell is that?” I ask, watching as he stands up.He just chose with his hand for me to hold on as he works closer to the door.My heart beats faster with each passing second because I can’t help but think we’ve been caught by the devil himself.“Lukas, do you think it’s him?” I
