LOGINChapter 19Punish me Alpha!!KAIUS POVI was in the council chamber when I started pains in my chest, but I kept ignoring it like it didn't matter.Christine was talking and she was backed up by another council elder, Jonah.“…the pack’s borders are stable,” she said. “But morale remains fragile.”I was already planning on how to expel some persons from the council, because of their lousy contributions, but I didn't have to do that in a hurry, lest the pack might start asking questions. I sat in silence, my hands clenched on the armrest.Then, the pain came again, but this time around, it twisted my chest violently.Magnus roared inside me, he was so unsettled that I knew who all the troubles could be for.HER!I stood abruptly, the chair scraping loudly behind me as their gaze turned to me.“My Alpha?” Rafaello, who was standing at my back askedI pressed my hand against my chest, and I knew that instant that the pain wasn't mine at all. It was hers. Adelaide.My heart started poun
Chapter 18Price to PayAdelaide's POVI couldn't believe that all I've been feeling was because of the mate bond.I thought as much, when it was always around Kaius but, I didn't want to just conclude. But, why was he acting as though he wasn't feeling anything?!Was he trying to avoid me somehow?!He asked me to come to his room, saying he was unwell but, all I saw was a very alpha man. I couldn't tell exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it, but if he was pretending not to feel anything, then I needed to act too. But, how can I when my heart yawns for him at any given chance. Even his wolf calls for me silently and I can't shut him out because of the bond we share. If he doesn't want me, he should just reject me. I thought, still lying on the bed, my thoughts running wild. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I thought it was Kaius and my mind almost leaped, but it was one of the maids in charge of the alpha's chambers. “My lady, do you need anything?!” She asked
Chapter 17A Night with the Alpha Adelaide's POV I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that Kaius was still sleeping. He was sleeping at the edge of the bed, using the whole blanket to himself. I heaved and sat up, looking at his face. The moon light reflected on his face, and then I saw him smile in his sleep. “Are you dreaming?! Is it about me?” I whispered, leaning closer to his ear. But, he stirred and then continued sleeping.I stood up and saw that the candle light was still on, I walked over to it and blew it out. Suddenly, I started feeling chills in my arms. I looked over to where Kaius was sleeping and saw that he was sleeping soundly. “It’s cold…” I whispered into the dark.The words came out on a shaky breath, barely louder than the wind coming through the windows. Then, I saw Kaius stir in his sleep again. I could tell he was awake now, but maybe he wanted to still be on the bed. I remembered how everything happened and how I ended up in his room. Wa
Chapter 16The Vision Kaius POV I never knew bringing Adelaide's stepmother and stepsister would cause more harm than good. Even though I had shunned her from making negative comments about my Luna, I still felt the pain in her eyes as she looked hopeless. When I stepped in to defend her, I saw the way her eyes lit up and the way she gazed at me like her prince in shining armor. Athena and Eleanor still stood, looking at Adelaide as though to devour her.What are they plotting?! Then, Rafaello returned to my side, he bent down and whispered to my ears.“They have always treated her badly and unfairly ever since she lost her parents,” he said.I nodded, “is that all you found out?!!” I asked, speaking in hush tones.He nodded without saying a word and drew out, standing as though nothing happened. I looked at my side and saw Adelaide standing with Rhoda, smiling all over. It looked genuine and it looked like a real friendship, even though I didn't know much about Friends, I kne
Chapter 15The Ceremony ELEANOR'S HOUSEHOLD “How could you allow that wench steal the spotlight from you?! How could you?!” Eleanor yelled on top of her voice. She paced the whole room, kicking items out of the way as she did. Athena jerked the moment her mother threw something over her head, while she sat. “Mother! Do you want to kill me?!” She asked, standing to her feet. Eleanor looked at her, dead in the eyes. “You are supposed to be the Luna, not her!” She spat.“What if we become her allies and work together?!” Athena said, infuriating her the more.“How dare you suggest such a thing?! We can't be allies with someone as filthy as her!!” Eleanor yelled, her eyes almost red from shouting. Athena shifted uncomfortably on her chair. “What should we do now?! She has stolen everything from me.” Eleanor drew closer, a smirk spreading across her face. “Let us spread rumors about her, then the pack will reject her and you'll become the Luna.”“Isn't that too risky?!” Athena as
Chapter 14Alpha's Message Kaius’ POV I paced the corridor, my hands behind my back.The first servant came and bowed, “the Luna will be with you shortly.” That didn't stop me from pacing, I was restless inside me.What if something had happened to her?! What if?!I didn't know I cared so much about her, not until yesterday. Not until, the witch appeared from nowhere threatening to take what was mine.Phew! What is mine?! I couldn't believe I was saying this now. Not after I'd yelled at her and asked her to leave my room multiple times, like she was a curse. I bit my lips hard as I continued pacing and waiting.They looked over to where she was supposed to come from, but there was no sign of her. Anger sat heavy in my chest, burning slow and deep.She had disobeyed me.Not just disobeyed, she had walked straight into danger with her head held high, as if my words meant nothing. As if the walls of this palace, the crown on my head, and the authority I carried were all suggestion
