Chapter 106CYRIL'S povNot a word left my lips. My squint deepened as I tried to make sense of his intentions. There was no way he really meant what he said. My gaze got to him, cause he seemed to snap out of whatever made him make such outburst with a tensed chuckle. ‘‘It's not what you're thinking. What I meant was laying her off of working in the mansion.’’ He clarified. “And why would I do that?” I asked, a bit relief by the clarification. “Can't you see? She… she's just… I dont know. Incompetent! I hate her aura, I don't want her anywhere close to me….’’ He groaned frustratedly. “Alan.’’ I cut in. ‘‘Tell me what is going on.’’ And I meant serious business. “Gawd!’’ He ruffled his hair, throwing his gaze about even though there was nothing to see. ‘‘Is it so hard to let me in on it?’’ I spoke again.‘‘Has she told you anything?’’ He asked back, pausing for a moment with sparkles in his eyes. Dreadful sparkles. “Did she?’’ I asked back.“That darn bitch!” He scoffed, rage
Chapter 105CYRIL’S pov“So, what is this about, our high king?’’ She eventually broke the silence, watching me through the top of her eyes as if to study what mood lived inside of me. Of course it'd be best if she chose her words wisely. ‘‘Alessia's kid.’’ I paused shortly. ‘‘Adrian? What about him?’’ “I'll like to have him over.’’ I said. Following Lance's advice while we returned from Aloha's residence, it wasn't quite necessary to involve myself with Thompson directly since there was an intermediary within our reach. All I needed to do was play the dice well and Eliza would work out the rest. Thompson cannot find out about Alessia just yet, or he'll urge to meet and never release the kid. I should be convinced about Alessia after the experience with her earlier today, but a tiny part of me still feared she might get swayed by Thompson if he professed an undying love for her. I didn't wish to find out what it'd be.“What happened to Alessia?’’ Eliza bursted out, after moment
Chapter 104Cyril’s POV Words eluded me. As much as I didn't want to, I couldn't hold back the chuckle that bursted off my lips. A displeased frown crept to Alessia's face instantly, caught between puzzlement and embarrassment which only made the situation more humorous. “What?’’ She spat.“That was just too straightforward.” I teased, pulling everything within me to ignore the tingling butterflies in my stomach. But it seemed Alessia wasn't having the joke. “What do you mean too straightforward, how else could I have said it?’’ ‘‘Relax. I'll get Aloha to go on with her stuff.’’ I stood, carefully putting her back down. A scoff left her lips in disbelief, but it only forced out more chuckles from my throat. “You've got to be kidding me.’’ She cursed, evidently pissed off. Was it just my imagination or was she somewhat different?Aloha returned and continued with her business which didn't take any long. Judging by the situation, she had been almost done before I came in. “I'll
Chapter 103Alessia's POV A silent groan flew off my lips for the hundredth time in the past few minutes my eyes came open. “You will be fine.’’ Aloha consoled. Oh and for the records, every single time of those hundredth times a groan left me, a word of consolation followed from Aloha. That was new.My body system seemed to have been reset. Or maybe it was a result of my ‘lie in state’ condition for so long, my hearing sense seemed to have gotten so intense to the point I heard Aloha's breath as it fanned out of her nostrils. “How long have I been laid here?’’ I inquired, my voice barely above whispers. “A week and three days. Would have marked three days today.’’ She smiled, not sparing a glance off my skin as she applied the stuff she called a ‘cleansing oil’.“You mean my skin looked worse than this?’’ I asked in disbelief, running my eyes on the visible parts of my skin my gaze could cover. “The oil is effective enough. In a matter of one more week we should have your flawl
Chapter 102ELIZA'S povI'd never been so tensed! For a split moment, I regretted giving in to the sick chances of Thompson's plan. I had said too much. I grew impatient with how awol our conversation had been, drifting more and more farther away from where I needed it to head. But it seemed I'd gone too overboard. I let my anxiousness and impatience put me in a more dangerous spot. “What's that you said?’’ ‘‘Just some piece of information I thought I should leak to you.’’ I shrugged, eyes fixed above his gaze with my heart like a ticking dynamite. ‘‘Do you even realise the gravity of what you just said?’’ He wasn't having it lightly. It was no longer a case study. Indeed I'd bitten too much. ‘‘I wasn't the one who made it up, it is…..’’“My king!’’ A man rushed in, swatting a glance my way with urgency in his eyes. He lowered himself to whisper some words in the Lycan king's ear and I almost fell off my seat when the lycan stood up immediately.‘‘What?’’ He sprinted out. “Yo
Chapter 101Cyril's PovThe dominating silence allowed us solace to digest the news Aloha had just passed on. With my face buried in the warmth of my palms and my heart pulsing abnormally, all I could think about was the complicated part of Aloha's report. “There's still hope. As long as she is alive.’’ Aloha said, trying to brighten the mood. “I believe so too. She has been able to transform already and that is all that really matters…..’’ “Transformation without motion is as hideous!’’ I snapped. “That is simply because of the transfusion. Give it a rest until tomorrow, by tomorrow she should do better.’’ Alfred suggested. “Oh right! Her body had barely adjusted when her transformation pushed through, that must have been the reason her wolf failed to move.’’ Aloha agreed. “Excuse me.’’ Lance rushed in, trailing his gaze to meet mine. “There is a call from Mr Weverse, it seems he's at the mansion right now.’’ He reported. ****“What in hell…’’ I muttered under my breath, sizi
