Chapter 89Alessia's PovI'd been holding back the puke, trying my best not to mess things up. With my breath hanging in my nose pipes and my tongue twisted, I handed Aloha the sacred wooden bowl of an undefinable concoction which she made me carry round the kingdom all morning. I couldn't hold back anymore. This was my peek. I scrammed out of the white circle to a corner of the forestry area to spill my guts. I didn't expect Aloha to appear behind me and sprinkle some water on my face. This was all Melanie's fault. I'd asked her to let me have just fruits for breakfast but she wouldn't listen!“I'm sorry.’’ I apologised weakly as I stood, lights sipping out of me. “It's okay. How do you feel now?’’ Aloha answered, stopping her enchants to approach me, clearly not pissed by my misconduct. It felt somewhat weird as Aloha gently reached behind me, running a hand softly on my back. But it turned out more soothing than weird to decline. “Have I messed things up?’’ I asked, hoping
Chapter 88Alessia's povI blanked out momentarily. Just staring at him with absolute emptiness in my skull. How hadn't I thought about it that way? I'd been too focused on painting his unjustified deeds to his face, forgetting my own inappropriate conduct. This was what he wanted. Turning the table away from himself. I wouldn't let him have that satisfaction. Dropping my gaze back to the plate of moderately sliced bananas before me, I returned to picking up the slices with my fork. ‘‘At least I'm not dead or something….’’ I hissed. “And you think that makes it any better?’’ He cut out sternly, I was forced to check out the expression on his face before deciding on the manner of my next outburst. Still, I'd have ignored him despite the fact that he seemed slightly pissed, but the hint of hurt gleaming somewhere in his eyes sparked a tinge of guilt in my chest. “Well… ‘’ I shrugged, fumbling with words in my head. ‘‘Well what?’’ He demanded. “None of that had to do with Thomp
Chapter 87Cyril’s povMy gaze paused, stunned by her astounding outburst. I never saw that one coming. Not even in my wildest dreams would I have imagined. Lost for both words and motion, I chose to ignore her incongruous remark, liftBrushing back her hairlines gently, I retracted from her figure, and from the bed. She kept staring without a move, batting her lashes slowly as reality hit her. ‘‘Get up. You should have a dish.’’ “You're.. you're going to be like that?’’ She ignored my statement, turning over to give me a stare. “It's what you need to do right now. It's almost dinner time and you've only had lunch.” I pointed out, not without swatting a glance at my wrist watch. I'd returned from a meeting with Alpha Crestwood, the high chairman of the eastern packs in which Silverstone served a territory at.Thompson hadn't reacted much when he received news of his butchered mate. Instead, he'd reached out to Crestwood to lay former reports with claims that I'd been tormenti
Chapter 86Alessia's povMa'am Amira had mentioned it. She did mention that chances of survival were slim. But I didn't expect a ten out of fifty percent. That was way too harsh.“Unfortunately, you're allowed to know about the risks involved and make a decision. That's the only way we are likely to get a positive reaction from the rituals. I mean it's not your fault that you got stuck in your fate, you may decide to save the kingdom or do otherwise. But know that it is the destiny you were born to fulfil.’’ Aloha went on explaining. “Then why make it sound like I have a choice anyway?” I scoffed, in utter disbelief. None of the words she had just spoken were in my favour, she still asserted the fact that couldn't escape taking on the rituals. “It's general knowledge around here that you have no wolf, you must know that if the rituals goes on successfully your wolf might be released as well.’’ She further explained. I knew about that. Was I expected to see that as the good side o
Chapter 85Alessia's pov I'd never caught him nervous before. It seemed almost unreal experiencing that part of him. Although he tried keeping in check, he couldn't manage to stifle the sharp inhale he took in as he tried to speak while also avoiding my gaze. “It demands a minor ritual process.’’ He let out. The least I expected him to say. I couldn't help the loud scoff that fell off my lips, forcing his eyes up to meet mine in puzzlement. “A minor ritual?’’ I emphasised on his use of the word ‘minor’. “You really think the process is a minor one, or you're just saying things to make me feel better?’’ “Wh-what do you….’’ He trailed off, his eyes widened instead in realisation and disbelief. “You don't know about it already, do you?’’“You don't need to lie to make me feel better. I'd rather you spelt out the whole danger involved to me instead.’’ I spat, leaving him to figure himself out and storming to my room. I managed to navigate my morning routine through so much struggle
Chapter 84Alessia's pov Hairs poked agitatedly on my skin, following the irritation that builded up in my guts as Thompson's lips moved wetly against mine. Cold and fucking too soft for my preference. I pushed him off immediately, not minding the rash force with which my energy pulled. He staggered back and almost ceased into the wall, however, kudos to his Alpha experiences he maintained stability. Not without widened eyes at me though. “I..I uh…am sorry. I just… it's just um….’’A knock came at the door, interrupting the crazy moment. Perfect timing!“I'll get it.’’ I moved to get the door quickly, avoiding Thompson's stunned gaze on me. “Oh.. uh. May I help you?’’ I asked as Lance's face came to view. “Mr Weverse is who I seek. I know he's in here, you even have his scents all over you….’’“Gosh I wasn't trying to lie about it, why try so hard?’’ I slapped my forehead in frustration. Lance pushed the door wider, stepping a foot out to hold it open. “Get here Mr Weverse, it
