David's pov Lila walked up to us, looking at me from me to Elara.Gosh! Not again. Lila would think I'm cheating on her again. She didn't even tell me she was coming in the first place. Maybe she suspected I would be with Elara and decided to come check?Oh my God! What am I gonna say now?Why did Elara choose to come now of all times? Why's my mistake hunting me now? I apologized to Lila earlier. She didn't even tell me if she'd forgiven me or not. Now, she's seen me and Elara again. Even though we aren't in any compromising position, I know she'd suspect something.Her gaze was piercing as she stood before me, her chest rising. “You brought her here again?” she asked, her eyes flashing with anger. “After you came to apologize to me? After everything?”I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say. I know she wouldn't believe whatever I say no matter how hard I try to convince her.“You apologized to me earlier, David.” She spat, her eyes burning. “I knew it. I knew you weren't really
Elara's pov The night came in a hurry. I tried to find some sleep, but I couldn't. I turned on my bed many times. I looked at my phone again and again, hoping to see David’s name flash on the screen.I waited.I stepped out to the doorway. Maybe he would come again. Maybe he would knock like he did last night.But he didn’t.I sat on the bed. I didn’t even realize how long I had stayed there, just waiting. No knock. No call. Nothing.I thought about him the whole day. His smile. His eyes. The way he held me last night. It felt so real.Finally, I heard a knock.“Yes!” I clenched my hands as it flew up in joy. I jumped out of the bed, my heartbeat getting faster. “He came!”I rushed to the door, smiling wide.But when I opened it, I stopped.My smile dropped.It was Ava.I frowned, my brow furrowing. “Ava? What are you doing here?” I asked in a cold voice.Ava raised her eyebrow, hesitating for a while before speaking. “So I need permission now, huh?” She sneered. “I need to ask for y
I was still smiling after Elara left my room. My chest felt warm, my head light. Everything about her made me feel like a boy again. A foolish, happy boy. But the smile didn’t last long. After an hour, it faded. My heart raced, flooded with thoughts.My eyes widened as I sat on the edge of the bed thinking. My hands clenched its edge. My heartbeat got faster, it could literally be heard on my ear. What the hell have I done? Gosh! What was I thinking?I have made a terrible mistake.I stood up from the bed and sat on it again. After a while, I stood up and began to pace around in a circle, scratching my head. I couldn't even tell what I was feeling. I didn't know what I want. Elara or Lila? What am I even doing?Why I'm I always confused anytime Elara is around me. I can't control myself anytime I'm around her and I don't know why. Actually, I know why…. Because I love her.I know I love Elara. My heart beats for her. Anytime I'm alone, I can't stop thinking about her. Even though
Elara's pov Jane's lips twitched to the corners, her voice cold. “You seem to forget so quickly, Elara.” She sneered, her eyes rolling. “You're just a breeder and nothing more. David is only deceiving you. He'll be done with you soon, and by then, you'll be left alone, all but yourself.”I shook my head in disapproval, fighting tears. “That's not true.”“He just wants to use you to get the throne.” She continued, her lips curling into a snare. “Once he's done with you, he'll throw you away and be with the one he truly loves - Lila, of course.”My heart skipped a bit. What if they were right? Maybe I was only a breeder to David. He's only trying to mark me first so that he'll become the next king after his father. Maybe everything he said were just lies - a means to get me to his bed.I stood confused, my gaze downcast. I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to believe. A lot ran through my mind, but I had to pretend like their words had no impact on me.Ava just kept her
Elara's povFew minutes after Lila left the room, David turned to me, holding my hands firmly. He probably didn't know what to tell me at first, but at last, he said something.“I apologize, Elara. I'm so sorry for everything she said.” He said, his gaze tender. “Lila went too far.”I winked and nodded. “It’s fine,” I whispered.Actually, it wasn't really fine. I just wanted to leave his room before anyone else came in. I didn't want anyone to see me coming out of his room either. They would talk. They always talked.“I should go,” I said.He didn’t stop me. He only gave a small smile and opened the door for me. I walked out quickly, my head down. I just wanted to reach my room before anyone would see me and begin to ask questions.But I bumped into Ava, just as I turned the corner.She crossed her arms, looking at me with a sharp gaze that cut like knives. “Where are you coming from?” she asked with an icy voice.I blinked. This is actually what I was trying to avoid when I was in a
Lila's POV I knew such a day would come. Actually, I had been expecting it. I only came to verify if what Ava told me last night was true.She was in my room last night, telling me that David came looking for Elara.She told me everything. How he roamed about her doorway, thinking about her. How he asked her into his room, even though it was midnight.I knew from the beginning that David didn't love me like he always claimed he did. Now, he's confirmed it. He even has the guts to tell it to my face that he loves Elara, after all the promises. He told me he'll never hurt me. He said he'll never choose Elara over me…but he did. He's left me for Elara. I chuckled coldly, lost in thoughts as I watched the both of them. I'll never allow it! I'll never allow Elara to steal David from me. I have worked hard to become Luna. David and I had been in this relationship for years now, and just like that… An omega girl would come and destroy everything I've built?I will never let that hap
