Chapter 23

Rosalie POV

Slowly I rose to my feet, my eyes glued on Daphne's surprise expression.

Had she seen?

โ€œStay away from me, you monsterโ€ she whispered, her voice trembling.

My hands clenched around the spine of the book I was holding, knuckles going white. โ€œIโ€ฆ what?โ€

Her lips parted, but no words came out at first. Just shaky breaths. Her fingers trembled where her bandage was.

โ€œI said stay away!โ€ she burst out, louder this time.

Oh. This was just another Oscar winning performance. But no one was around. Why did she keep up with the act?

Still I was grateful, a sigh of relief escaping my lips. She hadnโ€™t seen it. She couldnโ€™t have. She was busy invested in trying to make me look bad to notice it.

That was a relief.

For the first time I actually welcomed her shabby games.

Playing along, I bowed my head quickly, forcing myself to act neutral.

โ€œI didnโ€™t mean to upset you,โ€ I choked out. โ€œIโ€™ll leave.โ€

I turned on my heel, grabbing the book tighter against my chest, already halfway t

    Chapter 24Rosalie's POV I became dizzy, my head spinning not just from the loss of air but the mysterious book at my desk.There was no one else in the room, but it felt like hands were on my neck.I kept thrashing, wheezing for air, nails clawing at the invisible hands wrapped tight around my throat. Panic blinded me. My heart pounded like a war drum, and I did everything I could to force breath in my lungs.Maybe it was because I was on the verge of death, my body couldn't fight any longer, my arms became slightly heavy and my gaze lowered when I spotted a shadow above me.At first I thought it was a fragment of my imagination but the more my eyelids closed, the more it formed vividly.Adrenaline rushed through my veins, giving me one more attempt to fight.I didn't want to die, I didn't want to die!With my limbs weak, the only thing I could manage was to grab a pillow beside me and hurled it with all the strength I had left.The pillow cut through the air and passed straight th

    CHAPTER 25ROSALIEโ€™S POVThis is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy.It was the middle of the night and I was talking to a Ghost or Spirit I don't know.But she was real, Iโ€™ve blinked multiple times, still she was still here and not a fragment of my imagination. She just stared at me balancing her weight from one foot to another as if waiting for a reply.I wanted to get stronger, to be able to use my powers well but I wasn't sure about this, she was offering help just so I could be her friend?That didnโ€™t seem like a fair trade, but I guessed since she had been snagged in that book for a while she must be lonely.She seemed fascinated by everything which meant she had been asleep for a long time. I gave her a solemn look which she smiled innocently to.I couldnโ€™t imagine how it felt being trapped in a book waiting for decades to meet someone.โ€œWhat are you exactly?โ€ I inquired.She gave a bow before speaking, โ€œIโ€™m Elarien, Iโ€™m tethered to magic and Iโ€™m here to serve youโ€โ€œThatโ€™s not

    Chapter 26Rosalieโ€™s POV Alpha Kincaid ended with a cunning smirk, knowing the damage his words inflicted.Nathan didnโ€™t say anything. His head bowed in helpless rage. I felt bad for him but then my attention was drawn back to the Alpha.โ€œWow, dramatic much?โ€ A faint chill crawled up my spine as I watched in horror as Elarien hovered around him sticking her tongue at him.Of course he couldnโ€™t see her but I could and it jump-started my heart as if he could. I choked out a sound as if clearing my throat to grab her attention but instead a few other heads turned in my direction.Daphne was in attendance, she no longer wore her fake bandage guess she was done slandering me. It looked like she had other issues to tend to as she barely shot a glance before returning her attention to Damien.She was practically drooling over him, now that his coronation was close she would do anything to ensure nothing derailed her chances of being the new Luna.โ€œRosalie, you should sitโ€ Luna Edgar invited

    Chapter 27Rosalie's POV My hand trembled as I held the knife in front of my hand. The metal blade glistened under the chandelier."Do it already," Elerien whined as I kept hesitating. This was my third attempt, I still couldn't bring myself to make the cut.I forced myself but my brain couldn't obey the command."Is there no other way to do this?" I sighed in resignation, dropping the knife."Is it really so hard to cut yourself?" Elarein voiced, palming her head."Maybe in the time you're from self-harm is normal, but it's not here," I retorted, rolling my eyes.How could she be so comfortable letting me go through with this?"Or maybe you're too soft, it's just a simple cut and as a healer you can make it disappear in no time, being able to do it to yourself is the first step to making your powers feel as natural as breathing""Then why can't I do a small cut, maybe prick my thumb with a needle" I suggested."No that won't do, your brain won't see the urgency in curing a wound tha

    CHAPTER 28Rosalieโ€™s POVโ€œCursed?โ€ I mused aloud. I had never thought about that possibility, maybe that was why powerful healers couldnโ€™t do anything about it.But she was hinting that I couldnโ€™t either. Was this a lost cause?No! I refused to believe that. There had to be a way.โ€œIsnโ€™t there a way to break the curse?โ€ I questioned with my fingers crossed.โ€œUnfortunately it's a very powerful spell. What youโ€™re asking is to be strong enough in a month to break a curse that had been perfected for decades. With the little mana you possess, itโ€™s most likely impossibleโ€It was like she threw a rock and shattered my hopes to smithereens, my legs couldnโ€™t keep me upright anymore. I collapsed on the bed, my mind reeling.She quickly hovered next to me.โ€œOh Rosalie, donโ€™t be sad. If we had more time, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll be strong enough to heal your boyfriendโ€If she was alive I would have strangled her to death, she didnโ€™t know how much this meant to me.It wasnโ€™t about healing Nathan; this w

    Chapter 29Rosalie's POV It took a moment to snap out of my daze. I didn't expect this outcome. Tiptoeing over the bottles, I walked towards where he was wasted.โ€œNathan?โ€ I dropped to my knees beside him. His skin was pale, flushed with an unhealthy pink, and his clothes were twisted like heโ€™d been fighting.I had never seen him disorganized.โ€œHelp me get him up,โ€ I told Elerein instinctively before remembering she couldnโ€™t touch him. โ€œI can't, a spirit, remember?โ€ she said while twinkling her fingers.With a grunt, I hooked my arms under his and tried to lift. โ€œCome on, Nathan, you're an Alpha twice my size help me hereโ€ It took every bit of strength I had but I finally got him upright and into his wheelchair.His head lolled, barely lifted as his bloodshot eyes blinked open. For a moment, recognition sparked.Then he shoved me weakly, but enough to sting.โ€œGo awayโ€ฆโ€ he slurred. โ€œYou all are useless and stupid.

    Chapter 30Rosalie's POVโ€œAn archive this big should have that spell,โ€ Elerein said as she drifted through the dusty aisles of the pack library. We have been at the library since the merge failed; Elerein thought of searching for a spell or vial to help my body be compatible or whatever it was she meant.I was a little bit distracted, the encounter with my wolf consumed me a little. The thought I even had a wolf was astonishing and she tried to warn me about something.I tried speaking to her since then but it didn't work out, it was like she had vanished just as she had appeared which made me wonder if I just imagined it.Maybe Elerein would know what it meant, even if it was just for a second she did possess my body and that was when I saw the wolf.โ€œElerein?โ€ I began speaking when she pointed at a book.She turned elated. โ€œThatโ€™s the one, get it.โ€I shrugged off the question hoping to return to it later.

If looks could kill I would have been six feet under.I stumbled back half a step, disoriented, just in time to see Daphne drop to the ground in a dramatic heap.She burst into sobs.โ€œIโ€”I didnโ€™t even do anything,โ€ she wailed, clutching her cheek. โ€œShe just attacked me!โ€Of course at a time like this the Alpha had to show up, how much of this had he seen, she was the one who attacked first, I was acting in self defense.Hell, I didn't do anything.Elerein had slapped her, not me. But try explaining to other people that a ghost possessed your body to defend your honor.The Alphaโ€™s shoes thundered against the floor as he stormed toward us, his expression dark filled with venom.โ€œWhat the hell do you think youโ€™re doing?โ€ he thundered.I took a step back. โ€œAlpha, Iโ€”โ€

    Author's POV BRADTalk about perfect timing.He didn't expect to introduce Cleo the moment she arrived but since Rosalie was here why wait.He held Cleo a little tighter than necessary, hoping to make it believable. While Cleo did her part flawlessly, her arms looped around his arm like she belonged there, and he did his best to smile. His eyes, however, betrayed him. They kept flicking back to Rosalie, catching the barely-there flicker of hurt in her expression before she blinked it away.โ€œThat's nice,โ€ she commented.That expression lingered in his mind far longer than it should have.Since that nightโ€ฆ the night he planned a surprise and Rosalie had been avoiding him. He couldnโ€™t shake the feeling he had crossed a line, said too much, or let something show that shouldnโ€™t have. Nathan was his best friend, even if their marriage was arranged. Brad had no business forming deeper feelings for Rosalie.But he couldnโ€™t help it. And he couldnโ€™t bear the thought of losing her friendship
