what do you think about this new course of action?
Asher’s POV:The cold bath did nothing to calm me down as I had been hoping and it pissed me off to no end. I couldn't understand the urge that had taken over me and no matter how much control I tried to have, nothing seemed to be working. I slipped on the pair of pajama bottoms that I had taken with me into the bathroom before strolling into the room. The empty bed that greeted me made a pang settle in my chest. I moved towards the bed and the small stain of blood that occupied the center of the bed made the regret that had started forming in my chest grew even larger and I moved out of the room. Elysia was nowhere to be found like I had expected but when I pricked my ears I could hear the muffled cry coming from within her room.A part of me wanted to check up on her, make sure she was alright but no one had asked her to leave the room in the first place and with that thought I moved towards the laundry room to pick up a fresh set of sheets. Suddenly I felt exhausted, the pain from
Chapter EighteenElysia’s POV:“She's the prettiest woman I ever saw”“It's no wonder, Master is obviously so fond of her.”“She has such poise and elegance it's hard to believe they are not still together.”“Maybe they are together but are both trying to hide something you know.”A chorus of agreement went up in the air and I huffed from my position by the stove. From the moment I had served the Alpha and his Beta their breakfast, there had been a constant hum around the house about the beautiful visitor that had interrupted their breakfast. I was yet to see her because I hadn't gotten the opportunity yet but it wasn't hard to guess what she looked like or the sort of relationship that she had with the Alpha.The other maids couldn't stop talking to her and everywhere I turned there was a talk of the beautiful lady that had visited the Alpha. She was supposedly going to be spending a few days in the house and so I knew that I had plenty of opportunity to meet her but I also knew I wa
Elysia’s POV:My heart hung in my mouth as I look to the door to see Asher standing there, but I am insistent on keeping a defiant face.Her chins are lifted, and her lips pulsed together as her ferocious eyes moved from me to the alpha who had refused to move, he acted just like he didn't notice Asher’s suffocating presence. And I was starting to get uncomfortable with the way her fierce gaze rested on me, especially with the burning impact it had to it.A soft inward chuckle escaped from the back of her throat, but her face remained ferocious as she started to take slow strides towards us, swaying her hips so effortlessly.My eyes were wide open as I stare at her, trying my best to look everywhere else but her fierce eyes. I was scared that I was going to be consumed in the fierceness of it. And just like the first time I had come in contact with her I felt all my self confidence start to crumble in front of her, especially as the events which occurred moments ago lingered at the ba
ELYSIA'S POV:I exactly had no idea the reason my heart constricted inside my chest when my ear caught the sound of their laughter. I could have turned around and simply walked away from that rooftop, but my curiosity had the better part of me. So I started taking slow strides toward the direction of the voice while tiptoeing at the same time so as not to get heard.I wanted to tell myself a lie, I wanted to tell myself that the reason I walked further instead of going back was because I was trying to avoid incurring the Alpha's wrath, but my subconscious knew that was a lie, and more than that, it wanted me to leave at once. I could easily tell the Alpha I didn't get his message, or that I didn't find him after getting his message.Plus Alana's presence there never ceased to prick on me, especially with the ways she was laughing and touching the Alpha.My heart seemed to have a mind of its own, and I didn't pay any attention to the subconscious part of me that wanted me to leave at o
Asher’s POV:My eyes were glued to her retreating back as she ran off the rooftop, and once again I questioned myself. What was it that I found so attractive about her? And why did it seem like her haughtiness seemed to turn me on even more?All my life, I had been used to people having to fear me, especially young vulnerable girls like her.Maybe I was just fascinated by her audaciousness.As I started to pace around the rooftop, I reached into my pants pocket and retrieved a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.I watched the smoke fill the air as I lit the cigarette, and because it was windy on the rooftop, the smoke was quickly dispersed.I closed my eyes as I took a puff and felt the calmness spread all over my body.My ears caught silent footsteps coming from behind me, I did not need to look back to see who it belonged to, I could recognize Nikolai from his shadows which were reflecting in front of me anyway, thanks to the moon.He cleared his throat as he came to stand close to me
ELYSIA'S POV:It was unusually cold that morning so I had on an extra layer of clothing as I headed to the kitchen to do my chores.The entire palace was equally unusually cold and I could already feel that something could be off but I exactly had no idea what it was.The other omegas were huddled together in groups when I went to the kitchen, whispering among themselves, some of them looked panic stricken while the rest just looked like they were gossip hungry.I had to swallow my eagerness to know what was going on as usual since they still had that resentment attitude towards me and wouldn't even talk to me. But I decided to not let myself get bothered by their attitude any longer."The Alpha found it last night while training in the woods." I heard the petite girl whisper to another maid.Her tone sounded panic stricken."A fox tail actually depicts a very dangerous situation and it's not good for the pack." A fox tail?I now knew and understood why the whole palace looked cold t
Elysia’s POV:The next few days had me trying to avoid Alana and her numerous dramas but it was hard because she was always hovering around the house and the alpha, I could not actively avoid her while doing chores for him.I occasionally bumped into her walking around the house with a lifted chins and a twisted nose. I tried to not pay any attention to her but she managed to find a way to get on my nerves. I usually just walked past with a snort.The alpha on the other hand was nowhere to be seen all through the day, he must have been really very busy. So I was alone in his room while cleaning it. That would have made my job a bit easier, but of course, Alana kept showing up in the room now and again.The last time she came, I quickly looked back thinking it was the alpha. My face dropped to the ground when Alana's mischievous face came into view.Why was I thinking about him? Did I by any chance miss him?I huffed and simply shrugged my shoulders. There was no way I would miss him.
ELYSIA'S POV:A thick blanket of silence was spread around the room as Nikolai stood there, his eyes moved from me to the nurse who was standing there with her head bowed and her eyes darting all over the ground like she was scared of lifting them."What is going on here?" Nikolai asked again, coming fully into the room, his eyes grew dark as they concentrated on the nurse."I... I was just trying to..." She stuttered."Next time you should just do your job and leave Instead of being cruel to patients." He reprimanded. "Now quick finish your work and leave."Her hands were shaky as she grudgingly bent over me, and began fixing up the drip.Her face was flushed and I could tell she was embarrassed.She shuffled her feet and made noisy sounds as she dragged herself out of the room as soon as she was done."Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked as he walked towards the bed to sit close to me.I simply nodded my head, still overwhelmed by the shock instilled in me by the nurse's cruel actions.
