LENORA'S POV    Just as usual, Alaric had offered to drop me off at school and I would say I was already getting used to his company even If he could sometimes be a douchebag. Everytime though.   The drive was filled with silent and the only music playing in the car was one of my favourite and i was tempted not to guess he purposely played the song.   I had caught him stealing glances at me all through the ride until the very last one where he glued his eyes on me fir a long time and was literally not paying attention to the road.   "I don't think I want to die now " I squirmed while adjusting myself on the seat.   He only giggled after my sentence and have I ever mentioned how cute his giggles are. It's rare to see him laugh and when he does that

    LENORA'S POV         "Lenora" I heard someone calling my name late at night but I was quick to recognise the voice even though it was pretty low. I rubbed my eyes to be able to see well as I walked towards the door and on opening it, Alaric immediately entered the room and shut the door behind as he immediately grabbed me into his arms while burying his head on my shoulder.         I was still feeling sleepy thus confused about what was going on until my memory started to form in my head and I remembered I had fallen asleep while waiting for him to come home last night but he never did.       

    "I'm sorry Clara, but I can never forgive you " I scoffed while shaking my head. All what she had said just makes absolutely no sense.         "I'm still your mother Lenora, just believe me even if it's this once. I just want you to forgive me and make up for the bad times. I wasn't the one who intended to do all of what I did but the trauma had forced me to do it."         "I would constantly leave you with your grandma while going out to drunk myself in alcohol hoping it would bring back my sanity "         "I got sick from the amount of alcohol I consumed d

    The trumpet blew again signifying that the participants should be in the ballroom waiting for the king while my Lenora could barely move.       "Are you sure you can handle this?" I asked as she nodded her head slowly, I didn't want it to be like she was fighting for my love because she definitely isn't.  I don't deserve her at all and she's way better than me. It would have been by far better if I was the one fighting for her to be with me and seeing her this way only made me upset. I have never felt this way in my entire life.       On a normal day, whenever Adolph starts to be a bitch, I usually excuse myself from the house and leave for a far away land but this time is different.  I couldn't do that because it involved

  "You bastard!" My beast was too loud to have growled at him that I couldn't control it. The moment those words left my mouth, i was left stunned as I knew I had just ruined my efforts and brought large consequences on myself.    "What did you just say, son?" He questioned in a fierce low tone and I knew he was madly upset. I was also stunned, I hadn't expected those words to leave my mouth yet i just couldn't control myself the moment he insulted Lenora, my beast couldn't.   I knew I was keeping him waiting by not saying anything, but I had no clue on what to say that would cover up for the insult. Not only were my plans doomed but I could also be doomed as he wouldn't think twice to kill me like the rest of my brothers.   "I expect an answer from you, son!" His voice came out really fierce as i could feel sweat
