ASHER'S POVMitchelle's hands craftily crawled up my thighs, then upwards towards my chest.My gaze rested on Elysia all the while, and I watched how her jaw tightened and her eyes dropped.Her face contorted with every inch Mitchelle's hand travelled through my body and I immediately felt guilty for making plans to get her jealous.She cleared her throat, and I could see she was having difficulties swallowing her food.I turned to face Mitchelle who was all over me, and doing as much as she could to seduce me and shifted uncomfortably on my seat.The thought of asking her to leave crossed my mind since seeing Elysia like that pricked me a bit.But then I thought of her stubbornness and I thought she really deserved to pay for it."You look like you just woke up from a long nap," I said to Mitchelle in the most flirtatious voice I could muster at that time, even though I was getting a bit irritated by her touches.My eyes remained on Elysia all the while, and I noticed that she got mo
I woke up to the bright lights seeping in from the open window shining on my face, my eyes fluttered open and I found out it was way past my waking up time.I lay still on the bed, still covered in the sheets. But then I noticed something unusual in my room. I had been close to the Alpha long enough to know what his scent was like, and it was all over my room and my bed, I also noticed I had one of his shirts on. That made my heart flutter a bit and caused an overwhelming feeling.My eyes searched the room unconsciously to ensure I was in my room and not in his. I equally searched my brain to recall what must have happened between us the previous night.I remembered I had fallen asleep on the terrace and then…Just then, the bathroom door opened and all the answers to my question came staring at me in the face as soon as the Alpha stepped out of the bathroom, bare-chested. But that in turn gave room for more questions as I sat up on the bed, I were still glued to his torsoHe caught m
I remained in my room and hid under the sheet even after the Alpha left until the light shone on my face the next morning to indicate the break of day.The anger I felt towards the Alpha the previous night still lingered in my mind the next morning, it made me grudgingly stay back in my room for several hours.When I finally left my room, the palace was already bustling with activities. But then I noticed something about the maids as soon as I stepped out even though it was quite usual for me to see the maids huddled together like that most times of the day, this time around, it looked like they were talking about a more prominent event that took place over the course of the morning. And with the way they all stopped and peered at me when I appeared in the hallway, they seemed to be talking about me again.Did something happen while I was asleep?I walked further down the hallway, finding my way to the kitchen. The maids I walked past as I went to the kitchen equally had sneers on the
ASHER'S POV:I could not shake off the bad feelings I had been having all evening, and I was feeling a bit reluctant to let Alana and Mitchelle go yet.I instantly turned back when I heard Nikolai's voice scream out, the bad feelings intensified and I thought someone could be in danger.My my eyes widened and my heart stopped when I saw Elysia collapse in Nikola's arms."Elysia." I heard myself scream before I could realize it.It was as if time stopped and everything came to a standstill as I ran towards them."What happened to her?" I enquired, my eyes boring holes into Nikolai who looked equally terrified."I have no idea, she just...." Beads of sweat had started to drop from his forehead, and his eyes wide open as they darted from me to Elysia who had gone limp in his hands.I snatched her from his hands in a jiffy and ran to the pack's hospital in an overwhelming speed."Have a look at her quickly." I dished out instructions to the doctors who came running to me as I brought her
ELYSIA'S POVThe doctor came in the next morning to tell me that I was free to leave the hospital since I was already feeling better.The doctor was giving me instructions on things to do for the next few days after leaving the hospital when the Alpha showed up in front of the door.I raised my brows when I looked at him."How are you feeling?" He asked when he came over to my bedside."I thought you've gone," I said in a whisper."Is that the answer to my question?" He asked as he tried to feel my temperature by touching the back of my neck. "When asked a question, you should give the answer to the question."I felt overwhelmed by his show of concern, and I was finding it difficult to believe he was actually being that way towards me."We should go." He said in a soft voice that didn't sound like his usual cheeky or nonchalant self. I repeatedly shrugged my shoulders.He had his hand around my shoulders as we walked back to the palace.By the time we arrived at the palace, two guards
ELYSIA:The rays of the sun shone brightly on my face, and the feelings of ecstasy did not seem to evade me, as every passing moment came with a new burst of pleasure and sweetness.The sweet smell of the morning flowers filled my nose and forced me to inhale deeply. I didn't want the feelings to end anytime soon, I was ready to hold onto it for as long as possible, but my eyes fluttered open prematurely and I squinted my eyes to shed them from the sun which seeped in from the drawn back window curtains.I rubbed my eyes as I looked around the room, and then my eyes moved to the wall clock.It was already late into the morning and the sun was starting to rise.I did not fail to pay attention to the sweet smell the flowers in the garden behind my window brought into my room, at the same time, I did not fail to notice the slightly discomforting headache I felt that morning.I lifted my hand to run my index finger against my forehead, and let out a little wince before lifting myself off
ASHER'S POV:I had no idea if it was the awkwardness from the previous day or not, I just found that I was unable to face her the next day. My whole being wanted to avoid and not make any contact with her all through the day so I stayed back in my room.After spending several hours of the day in my room, I decided I was feeling uncomfortable and a bit suffocated staying in one place for too long, so I decided to go out to the terrace and receive some air, while actively hoping that it would not be one of the days Elysia would suddenly show up here for whatever reason.Even though I was trying to avoid her, I had been thinking about her all day, and I exactly had no idea why. Perhaps I missed her.My thoughts were interrupted when I heard footsteps behind me, I didn't need to look back to know who it was since I could recognize Nikolai's footsteps even in the middle of the night. His shoulder slightly brushed mine as he came to stand beside me, and I felt he did that on purpose.We bot
"You are pregnant." The Alpha said in a plain voice, I could tell he was struggling to contain his excitement.The atmosphere was tensed for the next moments that followed after the Alpha's disturbing announcement, was he being serious?I lifted my chin as my eyes darted around, hoping the Alpha could be up to one of his mischieves again. Because I could not imagine myself actually being pregnant with his child, there was no way I would let him win.My eyes landed on the piece of paper in his hand an I snatched it from him.My heart was beating fast as I read through the paper thoroughly. I could not believe what I was seeing. Was this some kind of prank or something?I looked up at the Alpha's face, but he did not look like he was being mischievous, my eyes darted to the doctor who was standing by the corner and I rushed to him."This is a lie right? This is not real right?" I asked dragging him by the arm. "Tell me you have made a mistake with all of these."My eyes was starting to
