LOGINElena’s POV“So the Alpha is leaving the palace now?” Bianca asks casually. I nod. “Yes. It is high time they go into the field and find the enemy. You cannot continue to fold our hands and hope they will fall into them.”“Watch your highness, do you think it’s safe? I mean, does the alpha have to go? Only the guards can do it.”I smile, briefly looking at her. “And what kind of a leader will that make? Apart from the fact that he belongs on the field, which has always been his thing, he’s also the king and he must lead by example.”“I understand, your Majesty. However, some situations call for a different approach.”I squint my eyes, staring at her. “What do you mean?”She swallows, stepping closer. “ I mean, I’m not trying to control the movements of the alpha. But we both know his life is in danger, unlike the guards. This is why I feel he shouldn’t go with them. The enemy doesn’t really care about them but if he sights the alpha, only the moon goddess knows what he will do.”I sw
Elena’s POV“So what exactly are you saying? You don’t know where the girl came from?”He shakes his head. “And to make it worse, I never gave the guards an instruction like that, but they insisted I did. They swear it was me. My face.”I swallow, shaking my head slightly as I look away.None of it makes any sense.“None of this makes any sense,” I say out loud, unable to keep your thoughts to myself.“Exactly. I knew I should’ve brought it to you immediately. However, I didn’t even know how to start explaining. I mean, she jumped out of the window but no body was found. It was as if she disappeared to think. The guards have been searching around since last night but still, it is all to no avail.”We both pause, staring at each other with a knowing look. I can tell we have the same thing in our minds.“If the guards swear that they saw his face but he never gave the instruction, if the strange woman disappeared out of the blue, leaving no traces behind…”“It means one thing… This has
Elena’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
Damien’s POV“Your grace, you need to come see this immediately.”One of my men says and I sprint past the trees, my boots crushing dead leaves and my heart pounding hard against my chest just at the prospect of what I know I’m about to see.Earlier today, we had sent some of the men to go patrol t
Lukas’s POVI march out of our room towards mine, her words still stabbing at me. Words that can’t be farther from the truth.If only she understood what I’ve been through since I was born into this life— this very life that she thinks is a sanctuary filled gold and Honey.I push my door open, sto
Elena’s POVI turn to him quickly, ready to throw questions about whatever was just whispered to him and I see that he’s expecting it. His side eyes are already looking towards my direction so at the last minute I decide it isn’t worth it.Now isn’t the time.Throwing questions at him won't change
Lukas’s POVI stand watching her carefully.Every movement, every breath, every flicker in her eyes. She’s desperate, I can feel it. Desperate to free her friend from my sharp claws. And I enjoy it. It is a little price to pay for all the unnecessary stress she has put me through in the past.And
