Adrian’s POVIt had been a month and a half. Six full weeks since I made a deal with Alpha Luca. Six weeks since I promised to help him find a suitable partner for Mika. And yet… I’d done nothing.It wasn’t like I didn’t try. I did, but for a while. I was starting to have a headache just cause of the whole situation.And the moment I brought it up to Mika, asking her gently, what kind of qualities she was looking for in a man—she snapped. Her eyes darkened and she had thrown me a look I wouldn’t forget anytime soon.I backed off for a long while and didn’t mention it anymore. I gave her that space and told myself I’d come up with another plan. But I didn’t, I haven’t even until now. The days passed, filled with duties, council meetings and even issues pertaining the drama queen herself, Elysia. And now, Alpha Luca my uncle was calling. He has been calling for a while now, but I didn’t want to pick because I haven’t acted on what we agreed on.My phone buzzed harshly on my desk. I gl
Elysia’s POVKnock, Knock. I didn’t move because it might be either Mika or Adrain.I sat still on the edge of my bed, my back was pressed against the cold wall. My eyes were still puffy, my body ached from curling into myself, and my throat was sore from all the crying.Maybe if I stayed quiet, they had go away.“Luna?” a woman’s voice called softly, muffled by the wooden door. “It’s me. Elsie. I came to tidy up your room.”I was wrong, it wasn’t Mika nor Adrain, it was just the maid that tidies my room.I crawled out for my bed. For a moment, i wonder what I was even going to do if it was them, probably vent more and more angry on them.A flicker of cold anger stirred in my gut again, but I sighed and pulled myself up.“Hold on, I will step out for a bit,” I told her, looking for my slip on.“Alright, my Luna, but you don’t have to come out. I promise it won’t take long,” the maid from the door replied gently.I opened the door and gave her a small nod. She paused, staring at me, I
Adrain’s POVElysia’s voice echoed in my head, all I saw in her eyes was pain, so much angry and rage.I had never seen her that way before, I mean I have but this was kinda worse.The room was dead silent, yea i and Mika were not talking to each other.But I wasn’t even ready to deal with all this unnecessary dramas between Mika and Elysia.I had other pressing important things I needed to focus on.I sat on my office chair, tucking the chair so I could sit comfortably.I stared blankly at the maps in front of me. A few scrolls lay open, ink dried mid-sentence from earlier. The meeting with Alpha Scarlet was barely a day away, and I had barely touched the surface of my strategy notes.Alpha Scarlet owns another entirely different pack, very far from our park. Her father had died recently, according to what I heard from other Alphas.. her father had assigned her to take charge of his pack.I should focus, I needed to focus.I adjusted the eastern quadrant of the map and began retraci
Elysia’s POVI took off my damp clothes, allowing the water roll down my body. I stood in the shower far longer that I was supposed to. My forehead resting against the tiles wall and my hands still trembling.Tears were already drying on my face, I just stood still under the shower. I felt numb and I was silent for a long while.After what felt like a century, I finally turned off the tap, dried myself off with a shower nearby and dressed slowly. Pulling my tight fitted top over my head, slipping my legs into my pants slowly and combing my damp messy hair.None of the movements made sense in my head, not when my thoughts were still trapped in that moment.My fingers grazed the edge of my collarbone. I had allowed him into my into my heart already and this is how I get paid?Moon Goddess, why is all this happening to me, why doesn’t it feel I am being punished anyhow for literally no reason? Or am I just really stupid?I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My face was pale, blotchy
Elysia’s POVI woke up to a throbbing in my temples, a dull ache blooming behind my eyes. The air in my room was cold, but sweat clung to my skin. My back was against the wall near the door where I had fallen asleep crying. I blinked and reached out for a cloth to clear my teary eyes and blow my nose. I was disoriented, the weight in my chest pressing heavier.Then it all came rushing back, I squeezed my eyes shut, trying so hard not to think about it anymore but I no way that can be possible right now.No, no… Moon Goddess, no. Please tell me this was just a nightmare. Tell me it’s not real, tell me it’s probably a dream or something.Please just wake me up already, just tell me it’s an illusion. But unfortunately all was real, and I had seen it with my own eyes.I buried my face in my knees, my knees curled up to my chest.Why the hell would he do this to me? Was every fucking moment we shared a lie? Was he just acting and playing me all along?Or maybe I was just fooling myself a
Elysia’s POV“Thank you… for the tea.” Adrian’s voice was lower than usual, I had a feeling something was off but I ignored it. His hand brushed mine as he took the mug.“You’re welcome,” I replied, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. Weird how my heart was still beating really fast. Maybe it was because I had almost gotten caught in the woods.Thank the Moon Goddess I didn’t get into trouble this time, But damn, I need to watch Mika really closely. Starting not to trust her guts. As for Adrian, he was just really quiet. Or did he see me heading towards the wood? Or maybe because I made him worried, but I apologized already. Or maybe it’s just something else.Gosh Elysia stop overthinking, I screamed in my head.We walked back in silence. The tea sloshed gently in the cup he held, and his footsteps matched mine in perfect rhythm. Whatever I saw in the forest , I wondered what it was all about . I wish I had seen the other woman’s face.Both Mika and the other woman didn’t sound
