AKIRAIt was the man from earlier. He stepped into Alpha Zane’s room and I swallowed.Our gazes met and he arched a brow at me. Did he figure out who I was? I’d covered my face with dirt, so, I wouldn't be easily recognized.“And who might this be?” Zane fired at them, glaring hard at the guy who was staring at me.I held my breath, telling myself to keep cool and it was nothing, I’d managed to hide my identity up until now and I won't let it be easily blown.The man turned his head to Beta Orion and they exchanged glances as the man shook his head.“Perhaps, I misjudged your mate, Alpha Zane,” Beta Orion let out an awkward smile and Elara snapped her face to her father.I let out a relieved sigh while Zane stepped forward. “Are you trying to insult me, Beta Orion, just because you were my father's beta doesn't mean I would tolerate any disrespect from you,” Zane fired.“I'm sorry, Alpha Zane, I shall have my daughter blamed for this,” he said, lowering his head.“What? Father, are yo
AKIRAI blinked at his question again. What did he mean by am I hiding anything from him?“Akira?” his voice was gentle yet interrogating.“Uhm.. N-No,” I stuttered.“What makes you think, I'm hiding anything from you?” I threw back at him.He let out a sigh and his fingers traveled to the back of his hair then he looked at me, his blue unwavering eyes meeting mine. “Nothing,” he said.“What was I even thinking listening to Elara in the first place,” he let out a soft chuckle as he muttered to himself.Elara?What had that bitch done? I frowned inwardly.“It's nothing, I guess, maybe I was just overthinking,” he said and grabbed my hands even firmer.He smiled at me, the sincerest one I wasn't expecting. “Promise me you would never betray me, Akira,” he looked expectantly at me and my throat caught up in flames.What is all this?What has even led to the assumption that he was thinking of that in the first place?“I-I…” My own words felt like betraying me, knowing fully well this was
AKIRAI got to the palace even before I could catch my breath, I was close to getting to my room when I saw Zane coming out of my room perplexed, and a maid behind him.“Where could she be?” He questioned, his face was slightly squeezed.Was he looking for me? I thought, hiding behind one of the pillars. When he was gone I ran immediately into my room, closing the door behind me, and almost stumbled over.I placed my palms on my knees and tried to catch my breath. After getting a steady breathing and my body has relaxed a bit, I straightened myself.I pulled off the cloak and the maid dress I was wearing and dumped them in a corner where eyes couldn’t possibly meet but I will have to dispose of them later.I felt a sharp pain on my side and when I looked at it, my skin had turned dark purple, it was the place where the man had hit.I walked into the restroom and had my bath, scrubbing off the dirt I’d put on my face for my disguise act. When I was done bathing, I picked a simple yet s
AKIRA"I tried to but someone stopped me as if he knew all that had been going on," the man with him said.Beta Orion squeezed his face stepping closer to the man, "What do you mean someone stopped you?" He frowned."And who might this person be?" He added."I don't know of him sir but it looks like he knew about our plans all along," he spoke."Do you know what he looks like?" Beta Orion asked. "He's two feet taller than me, dark hair, green eyes, skilled in fighting... that's all I could pick when I had encountered with him," the man described and I let out a gasp. He was talking about Kaiden."Mm, tall, dark hair, and striking green eyes right?" Beta Orion thought loudly."Why does he sound so familiar?" He mused."What else do you have on him?" Beta Orion demanded."Nothing else sir, I'd only managed to escape before he could take me out," he uttered."A man that powerful to take even you out," Beta Orion seethed."That bastard whoever he is will not spoil the plans I've been buil
AKIRAI trailed after Beta Orion, following him discreetly as he ventured further into the woods, trying as much as possible not to be heard in the wind.Where could he be heading to? I thought, hiding behind the back of trees so he couldn't see me.We kept on walking till we were out of the woods and he followed a path, I watched him enter into the tavern at the locals and I sighed.Entering the tavern dressed in the palace maid uniform will surely cause lots of attention. I bit on my lower lip wondering what to do as I glanced around trying hard not to stare at the rest of the pack members and bring attention to myself.I sighted a laundry house not too far from the tavern and approached immediately. My eyes caught a black cloak and I smiled inwardly to myself.Just perfect.Sucking air into my lungs, I stole the cloak without being noticed and wore it. I entered the tavern. A mixture of sweat and ale filled the atmosphere and my nose scrunched up in disgust.I darted my eyes around
AKIRAAfter the incident of kissing Zane, I'd been avoiding him. I still can't place my head around the fact that I'd kissed him back.I was walking through the main hallway when I saw Beta Orion coming from the Alpha Zane's father's west wing and he was walking in hurried steps. I hid behind one of the pillars and peered at him suspiciously, wondering what he was doing and why he was walking hastingly like he had done something terrible."What is he up to?" I thought. My gown was too flashy that I would be easily caught if I tried to follow him discreetly, and based on what Kaiden filled me in, it would be better if I tracked his movement.I sighed, wondering what I should do. I sighted a maid walking towards me and I walked up to her immediately."Hey," I flashed a smile at her. She looked at me surprisingly."Is there anything I can do for you, Lady Aki-" before she could complete her sentence, I pulled her into a corner."Pull off your uniform," I breathed out and her eyes widene
