CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOHera's POVI get to my room and I stop to look down the passage to see if anyone is coming before I go in. It's empty and that makes me relieved so I open my door quietly and I quickly walk in so no one would see before I lock the door behind me.I rush towards my bed and I raise my pillow to get the box of ashes or whatever then I sit on my bed and open it up. I open the box and I stare at the content in my box. I sigh in fright before I close my eyes and give myself the talk so I'll have more courage to do what I'm about to do.“You can do this Hera. Alpha Luggard will probably just ask you a few questions and you'll be good to go. You've got this” I tell myself and open my eyes before I stare at the box in my hand for a while again and I take in a long breath. God my heart is beating so fast and I'm terrified of what could happen when I take this powder but I don't have a choice or say in this. I just have to do it because Alpha Luggard will be waiting for me and

Krystal's POVI'm staring into blank space intensely as I wait for Alpha Hugh and the rest to show up so we may begin our meeting and put our plan into action.I'm still thinking of the dream walking powder I felt on Hera's face and I can't help but conjure a million scenes of her using it in my head because I can't seem to put a finger on any reason why she would be using the dream walking powder in the first place.I've been observing her ever since we left her room for the training ground and she still looked uneasy when we got there… Until she quickly keeps on a relaxed face and approaches Alpha Hugh. Maybe to apologize for what she did; avoiding his hand when we were in her room but I can't hear their conversation. I just see that Alpha suddenly looks sorry even though he looked angry a moment ago and he hugs her.I didn't realize Felix was watching me until he approached me and stood beside me.“Are you trying to bore a hole through her? You've been staring at her so intensely t

Hera's POVI sniff again as I enter my room and head for the bathroom to wash my face.I watch the water run from the tap for a while as I calculate how I'll be able to get into the study and look for the blueprint of the palace.I could lie to Alpha Hugh that I want to read and have the opportunity to search for it… If there's no one there with me which I hope will be the case.I join my palms and fetch from the water then I rinse my face and I repeat until my skin feels rough from the continuous pouring of the cold water over my face. I sigj to myself as I lock the tap and take a face towel to clean my face and the little tendrils of my red hair that got into my face and made contact with the water too.Once I’m done, I hang the face towel back and head for the room to make myself look more presentable than sad with baggy eyes from crying. So I check the drawers in the vanity stand and there are a few stuff I can use for the makeup.I check them and they don’t look old so I figure

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTAlpha Hugh's POVI'm happy. Full of contentment and I'm almost giving in to the strong urge to scream out loud at my room balcony later tonight but I know I won't. I don't want to seem like a madman... It won't be good for my image as Alpha but then… I also don't care what the subjects of Silvercrest pack think of me. As long as I'm making life easy for them in this pack, they have no right to badmouth me or think anything degrading of me.We're all still seated in the dining room and I'm staring at the spot where Krystal locked Mr. Cameron with her magic when he wanted to attack me. The man actually thought he had the chance of hitting me. If only he knew beforehand that I also have a witch as a subordinate, then maybe he would respect me more but then that doesn’t matter now because he now shivers in fear for me and I’m sure that just the mention of my name will make goosebumps rush up his skin as he shakes in fright.I smile at that thought and I remember how K

Hera’s POVI can see the excitement on everyone’s faces as they go back to eating their breakfast and I can’t help but wonder who this mysterious Mr. Donovan McFlurry is and I also wonder why my parents didn't let me know about him when they were still alive and the Fang pack existed.Seeing how good everyone's mood suddenly is, I see it as a good opportunity to ask Alpha Hugh to let me into the palace's study under the guise of reading books. There's no way he can tell me no for such a simple and innocent request because I don't have that much time to be having fun around when I have to find the blueprint and study the soldier's routine and positions before my one month will be elapsed. I eat the great of my breakfast in silence and the maids come in to get the plates once we're all done. Then Felix and Sebastian leave for the training ground to supervise soldiers as they train and exercise. Krystal heads for her room to get ready for work while Alpha decides to stay back for the da
