Chapter 61- Damon -The morning was quite windy and therefore cold. I had to find a jacket to cover myself and remained indoors because I had no pack duties that morning.One of the maids brought my breakfast, and my jaw dropped when I saw what she was wearing.She bent over, exposing most parts of her thighs as she set the breakfast on the table, and she took her time with it.I shook my head, wondering what she was trying to achieve so badly that she dressed so provocatively, even for a maid. When she finished, she looked up at me and smiled when she saw I was looking."Your food is ready, my Lord."I beckoned to her to come closer and she took slow and deliberate steps towards me."I'm here," she said in a soft and seductive tone and I smiled at her."You look very pretty," I said and stood to face her. "And I think I have a liking for you. What's your name?"She frowned a bit, perhaps expecting I knew her name."My Lord you don't know me? You surely do. You have seen me around ma
Chapter 60- Lucian -Damon and the other girl standing with Elena walked away, leaving me with her.She looked upset and I knew it was because of yesterday."You are upset," I stated and she looked at me like she could not believe her ears."I wonder why I should be," she said with mock surprise and I smiled, finding her expression cute."I know. I asked you to come see me yesterday and I could not come," I tried to explain. "I got caught up with something.""Something more important than meeting me of course. I can understand, even though you were the one who asked to see me.""I really could not help it. And I know you must feel bad that I did not show up. For that, I deeply apologise."Her eyes softened and my heart flickered."What was it you wanted us to discuss?" She asked.Well, I did not have anything in particular I wanted to discuss with her.I only wanted to be with her, to hear her speak and to watch her pretty face."You seem to have good knowledge and skill with economi
Chapter 59- Ann -My face brightened into a smile when I saw Damon walking towards me. But it was short-lived when he did not smile back."I would like to have a word with you," he said straightaway as he approached me."Okay..." I said with uncertainty as I wondered what was wrong.He led me to a corner, and my heart skipped a beat at how he looked at me."Damon, what's wrong?" I couldn't wait."Ann I need you to tell me nothing but the truth," he began. "You knew about Elena's scroll, the one she was looking for to appear before the council which you helped her search for.""I do remember searching for a scroll with her but she told me it wasn't something serious," I told him. "She told me it was just a piece she found.""Is that the reason why you decided to hide it? Because she said it was nothing serious?"I shook my head in confusion."I don't understand what you mean by that," I said. "I didn't know anything about the scroll except that I helped her look for it. I haven't even
Chapter 58- Ashina -I anticipated the evening. Patiently waiting for the sun to go down so I could meet Lucian.I told myself that it was not just because I wanted to see him, to be with him.It was because I wanted to hear what he had in mind to discuss with me.When it was time I dressed up and went to the garden.There was no one there. I sat and waited, thinking something had held him for a while.But minutes turned to hours and he was still nowhere to be found.Had he forgotten? But he was the one who asked to see me.I thought of going to meet him in his chambers to see if all was well.I hesitated. He had asked to see me. Why should I be the one to go to him? He asked that we meet here.I didn't want to go, but something in me wanted to confirm that he had reasons, genuine reasons for not being here.But when I was passing through the hallway my eyes caught something I could not believe.Lucian and Stacy were at the dining, having what looked like a dinner date.I could not b
Chapter 57- Ashina -I stood on the stairs and looked down at the beautiful garden, when Lucian walked up to me."Good day, Alpha," I greeted with a bow and he nodded."How are you doing today, Elena?" He asked."I am much better, my Lord.""I can see."He did not say anything more, and I wondered why he was here in the first place."Will you be busy tonight? I would like to have a word with you."I shot my head up. I wasn't expecting that."Is everything okay, Alpha?" I asked. "Did I do anything wrong?""No." He said simply.There was something about the way he looked at me that made me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes seemed to be looking into my soul.It was the way he had always looked at me while I was still here as Princess Ashina. It always made me melt under his gaze. But now I was suspicious. I couldn't trust him anymore."Where do I meet my Lord?" I asked him."Where we met the other night. When the moon is out, I will be expecting you.""But Alpha, you did mention that plac
Chapter 56- Ann -I was sitting with Damon and I laughed heartily at the joke he made.I watched his face as it lit up with his smile.He was an angel. Though he was the Beta yet a very simple and jolly fellow.He has become a very good friend over the days. I have caught my heart warmed up whenever he came around, and I always looked forward to seeing him.But despite the smile, I could sense some worry masked within, and I asked him."Is everything okay? You seem to be worried about something.""Oh, it's nothing serious," he said. "Elena slumped last night and I had to stay up watching her.""Oh my goodness," I sat up. "Is she okay now?""Yes. She's very fine now," he replied.I could not help but notice how he spoke about her with so much concern.I knew they were not in very good times as I barely saw them together, but even with that, he was still there for her.He really cares about her.I felt the jealousy welling up. Even though he's here with me, he'd always be a good friend
