Anna's POV Coming out of the chamber, I could feel like someone was laying siege, watching me, but I didn't want to believe that. I had regained my memories now, and I knew my enemies. Alpha Jake, who didn't even know that we were enemies, and his Luna, Linda, who was surely going to lie low at the moment, as she had just been humiliated a few days ago. Everyone dreaded Nicholas and they knew he wouldn't let anyone hurt me and go scot-free. I had nothing to fear. I had only taken a few steps when an arrow flew past me and stuck in the wall beside me. For a moment, I felt like I was dreaming. I was almost hit by an arrow without going to the warfront. "I missed." A familiar voice complained with bitterness. "You escaping that, doesn't mean you won't die today!" I turned around and saw Linda, she put down her bow and pulled out a sword. "What's happening? Are you going to war?" I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me. She was fully armed in broad daylight, atta
Linda's POV "Why do I keep losing to this witch? I was so close like this!" I curved two of my fingers to make a ring size while placing them close to my eyes. "Who the hell is that little Seer? Why is she so stupid?" I felt like breaking things and turning the whole chamber upside down.But that wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't make my situation better; it wouldn't help me against Lady Noelle, that goddess-forsaken, stupid witch.What I needed at the moment was another plan, a better plan. And I had to think deeper, I had to act smarter to win her.After thinking for a couple of hours, I realized that I might not be able to defeat her despite being in my own Fort. I needed help, I needed allies but I had none at the moment.That was not even the biggest amongst the things that I was worried about. I just got exposed, how I was cuddling a lowly guard to frame Lady Noelle.I was damn sure that Alpha Jake wouldn't get over it for a week. Regardless, I must make a move and my best
Anna's POV Without answering him, I went after Linda into the hallway while Alpha Jake and Nicholas followed me. I hadn't taken many steps when I ran into Linda again.She was with the little girl Seer and a guard.The same guard who came into my chamber to harass me."This is Mickelson, the guard I was talking about," Linda introduced him to Alpha Jake and Nicholas. She turned to me and asked, "Are you ready to confess?"I also noticed that Mickelson's eyes were fixed on me, as if he had grudges against me."Confess about what?" I asked in confusion."So it's you." Nicholas stepped forward towards Mickelson who quickly fled his position. "Do you have a death wish?""Please, Alpha Nicholas, we need to be calm with this!" Alpha Jake put a hand between Nicholas and Mickelson. "Let me handle this," he added.Nicholas was adamant, he didn't falter. He suddenly caught Mickelson's jacket and pulled him close."I didn't do anything with her, she's the one luring me!" Mickelson suddenly spil
Anna's POV Before Alpha Jake could respond, a guard rushed to us."They are here!" he announced with his head bowed."Good! Thank you!" He quickly turned to me with a bright smile. "I'm sorry, Lady Noelle. I would have to postpone this sightseeing. They have just brought me the new Seer." He quickly turned and left.Now left hanging, I started having those flickers of memories again, and I couldn't stand it anymore. As I got out of the chamber, I headed to Nicholas' The door was open before my hand could make contact for a knock."Come in!" He stepped aside to make way for me."How do you know I'm coming?" I asked without making any move."We've been together for a long time enough for me to know your footsteps, when you are disturbed." He had started his all-knowing behavior again."You even know I'm disturbed, are you psychic?" I walked quickly into the chamber and he slammed the door shut. Seeing his masked face again, I became angry. "You said something about Anna before, what's
Anna's POV "I can't understand you. What are you talking about?" As I asked, instead of giving me a response, he just went into the chamber.He went to the bedside, signaling me to move closer."We don't have much time," he murmured impatiently.I remained at the door, not knowing how to deal with him."Just come in here and let us do what we have to do!" He became so impatient that he started walking back towards me."Get out now!" As he got close to me, I pointed out to him and he reluctantly walked out. After he had gotten into the hallway, he turned back to me with his face full of anger."I don't know what your plan is, but it will be better if you leave me out of it!" His words showed that he wanted to be left out, but his face was filled with regret.I didn't respond or say anything, I just kept looking at him until he walked out of my sight. As I wanted to shut the door, I caught sight of Alpha Jake."Alpha Jake, why don't we go on that tour now?" I urged him, I knew he woul
Anna's POV As I was following Nicholas down the hallway, I felt skeptical but being in the Fort with all the guards we walked past made me feel relaxed.Getting to the furthest part of the Fort, he walked towards a wall and bent down to open up a flap door. "Did this stir anything up in you?" he asked without turning to look at me."No!" I made my reply loud and clear to show him that I wasn't scared.He started descending down the stairs that were revealed, and I followed him into the basement. We got into another large hallway as we landed, but instead of chambers and the sunlight that illuminated the main Fort, this place was rooms with iron bars, cell rooms precisely, and it would have been total darkness if not for the lights hanging on both sides of the wall.Nicholas walked ahead quickly and stopped in front of one of the cell rooms. He asked a guard nearby to unlock it. As I got to his side, he signaled to me to move in."After you!" I didn't go in, I beamed a smile wonderin
