ALAANA'S POV The sunlight flashed through the window, making my room brighter. I opened my eyes slowly. I saw Elara, my favorite maid, gently folding my clothes into my luggage."Elara…" I called out, she quickly turned around and gave me a smile"You're awake, my Princess," she said. "Alpha's orders that your things should be well packed without you lifting a finger."Her words were gentle, but my heart was pounding. My clothes were already packed, as if this wasn’t my home anymoreThe door to my room opened and my father entered. He came towards my direction.“Good morning Father” I greeted, adjusting from the bed“Morning my Princess. Hope you slept well?”“Yes Father” I answered “Today you'll be going to Dark Moon Pack with William, please try to understand it's for your good”I signed deeply, unable to utter a word, I wanted to beg him to let me stay. But I know that nothing will change "Father…" I said, but his eyes were already moving.“Please my Princess, just bear with me
WILLIAM'S POV Rylan wanted me out of Alaana’s life. So poisoning me was another attempt for him to kill me. As if stabbing me at the battlefield wasn't enough for him.The muscles in my back tightened as I tried to control the anger in me. If not for Lisa, I would have been dead by now, laying on the floor and spit gushing out of my mouth. That was all Rylan wanted. This was what his black heart longed for.But fate decided otherwise.I looked up as the room slowly emptied into silence. That’s when Lisa entered. Her voice echoed through the hallway, sharp and full of anger."William!" she said, her eyes full with anger. "Why do you want Alaana to go with us? After everything they've done to you?”Her words echoed in my head,"You made a deal with the Alpha," she said, her voice shaking with anger and pain. “You didn't see a reasonable deal to make with him, now you think you can drag Alaana into this? Tell me, William, what will she be doing in our Pack?”I stood up slowly, pushing m
ALAANA'S POV“What deal did William make with my Father?” I kept asking myself since the incident happened.Someone trying to poison William was a serious case, it was a case no one could just let go off. And William had been quiet about it.I need to know what deal it was, I have to confirm from my father. I stood up from the chair I have been sitting on and walked straight to my Father's chamber.On getting there he was alone, sitting at the chair in his office. I walked towards his direction. It seems he was lost in thought because he didn't move or flinch when I entered.“Father” I tapped him on his shoulder to let him know that I was there.“You look lost in thought Father” I said,”What's wrong?” I asked hoping he would tell me about it, I was sure it was about the deal he made with William.He took a deep breath before answering “It's nothing” he answered.“Hmmm…What deal did you and William have?” I asked in a cool and calmed voice. “ What kind of deal did you and William have?
ALAANA 'S POV I wandered through the Pack, all I needed was peace, a break from what happened earlier today at the dinner. My heart was still heavy from the argument at the dining room, still feeling disappointed at the accusation that was made to the innocent maid. I had almost thought that she was lying, not until she almost finished eating the food and nothing happened to herJust then my eyes sighted something on the floor at the back of the dining room, where Lisa had poured the food earlier today. So I moved closer and I saw three rats that were lifeless on the floor, and the remains of the food scattered just beside it. Curious of what I just saw, I moved closer to the rat and kicked the rat with my leg to confirm if they were truly dead. But to my greatest surprise the rats were dead“Was this food truly poisoned?” I asked myself Then it came to my mind that the maid had also eaten the food so immediately I rushed to the servants quarter to confirm if she was still okay, on
ALAANA'S POV It was already time for breakfast so I walked to the dining room on getting there my Father, Rylan, William and Lisa were already seated waiting for the meal to be served. I took my seat that was close to Rylan. After the food was being served and we were about to eat when Lisa held his wrist from eating. "You can't eat that food," she said firmly, her voice breaking the silence. William frowned, his usually reserved expression was confused. "Why shouldn't I?" he asked in a low voice She turned her head towards the Alpha, voice stern, but her hand trembled slightly as she took William's hand. "This food was poisoned." I took a deep breath and dropped the spoon in my hand. The words hung in the air, heavy and impossible. Poison? I couldn't believe what I just heard. “What do you mean, Lisa?” I asked But Rylan interrupted and laughed. "Poison?" he said, in disbelief, as if the word sounds funny. But there was no doubt in Lisa's eyes. My father, the Alpha, looked
RYLAN'S POV We stopped talking as Alaana was walking towards our direction "Can you both explain the meaning of this noise?" She said, pointing her fingers at both of us. "You guys are funny. You're both fighting over me! Ain't you ashamed?"She kept quiet for a few minutes then turned towards where William and Lisa were."And you too" She pointed at William “Who do you think you're hun. Why on earth do you think you could just request for me as a reward for saving my father? How dare you William? In front of everyone!"William was about to talk but Alaana interrupted him."Is it because you think that you've arrived, that gives you the audacity to start misbehaving or what?!" She shouted. "Don't forget your place in this Pack, William. You're just that same Omega servant." "You came back and act as if I never existed after two whole good years of waiting for you, hoping that you were still alive somewhere that you will come for me. And now you're publicly claiming me back. When yo
