Chapter 41: The Alpha’s Mark Andrius escorted the alpha along with Shahida to the mansion. Isadora waited for them at the entrance and prepared them chamomile tea she brought from Fortluck. But, all of them refused to take the tea as Apollo headed to his room without looking back. Neither of the three spoke and silence swept over. When Andrius told them to rest for the night, they all nodded in unison. But Andrius’ voice didn’t let Elias escape from its bitterness. Meanwhile, Elias felt something in his body ached. He doesn’t know where is it exactly but it’s excruciating enough. He sat on his bed, tilting his head to his bedside table, looking for the clock. It’s past midnight. The surrounding is silent, even the crickets didn’t make any noise. “How are you feeling?” Elias caught his breathe jolt. He roamed his eyes around to see who the man was. He was leaning at the door, studying him as he sat up. He tried standing up away from the bed but he tripped as the ache he felt worse

Chapter 44: The Planted Evidence Elias slept early when the situation calmed down. He waited Apollo inside his room but he never came so he decided to sleep. He thought that Apollo might be busy because of the situation and just like how he was ordered, he stayed. While sleeping someone entered his room with all black outfit and unrecognizeable. He puts the weapon under Elias’ bed and blood on his bedsheets and hands. Tired as he is, he is unaware of his surroundings. He’s in deep sleep and he could die without noticing. At dawn, a loud knock outside Apollo’s room echoed. Annoyed by the consecutive knocks, Apollo got up from bed with his robe still on, dishelved hair and frown on his face. “I apologize for the sudden outburst, alpha. But, you need to know that Senior Isadora was found dead in the middle of the forest,” Rico reported hysterically. “I am sorry for your loss.” Apollo’s eyes grew bigger and ran off from his room. He squinted like he was stumbling over the staircase

Chapter 46: The Truth Disclosure Shahida left the mansion after Isabelle announced in front of her face the thing she didn’t remember doing. But slowly, the memories she longed to remember resurfaced in her mind. Even though she refused to believe them, her heart is doing otherwise. She saw the Headseeress that night together with the Senior Council. She thought that Isabelle might be lying about it. She rummaged Isadora’s things until she found out what she’s looking for. The same box Apollo found inside their Aunt’s closet. Shahida didn’t know that her existence during the curse is pivotal of the success of it. According to the witch, she only need a virgin woman who had a pure desire to fulfil. I thought dragging Shahida on that matter would make Northcrest better, as the witch said that with you reigning as a mate of the alpha is a demise of our future. Shahida was left her usual strength as wave of unfiltered emotion drowned her system. The letter she’s holding now dropped

Chapter 49: Heart Stopper Apollo drove his car beyond his usual speed after learning the truth. After he left the hall earlier, he went straight to the sentinel where Lily and Lyla were. He asked the two while kneeling on the floor to speak for the truth. He cried in front of the two which the two didn’t expect. Fearing that they will be killed, the alpha assured them that he will spare them. “The beta told us to never talk,” Lily started. “It was the beta’s order to put poison powder on the food,” Lyla added softly. “Forgive us, alpha,” the two pleaded. Apollo’s veins on his neck popped up in anger. He stood from his feet and gathered all his men to the public market. All he thinks that moment is that getting Elias safe from the sentence. I’m sorry, Eli. I’ll be there. Wait for me. Apollo arrived at the market in chaos and inorder. People were screaming as masked men were slaughtering the Senior Council’s men. Elias was no longer seen on the platform. “Leave these people on m

Chapter 50: The Fake Winning Three days after… “The alpha of Northcrest has dead. The alpha of Northcrest has dead!” The news spread like wildfire inside Northcrest, that Apollo---the alpha---left the universe. People at the public market couldn’t believe it. As the news bearer continued announcing while throwing the newspaper into the air. People stopped from what they’re doing. They knelt down on the ground and stayed silent to give the alpha’s soul and commemoration. It was a long silence and the alpha’s apologists couldn’t believe what they hear, especially Heban, who once attended to Elias and Shahida. “The Senior Council must have done this. The alpha won’t die like this. That is impossible.” Heban is a seer. He could see future and feel if the person is dead or not. To his confusion, he can still feel the presence of the alpha. Meanwhile at Valencourt’s mansion, Isabelle ordered everyone to remove all the things Elias used. They fired people who were loyalists
