WHAT IS FATHER UP TO?Nicholas's POVI hurt down the path leading to Wahika's cave. So many emotions whirling through my mind as I headed towards the witch's cave "Hey Wahika, you said you were going to lead Hoots back home" I'm about to remind her when I remember that she said no disturbance in clear words. It was a bad step on my part to have forgotten a very important detail which shouldn't skip my mind.I shut up my mouth and follow her in silence. If father is truly back like she said, I'm sure someone informed him of what's going on in the palace. But who? Who is feeding father all these information?Father does not just leave the hunting expedition just like that. It's either about Avery or something more crucial than that or it's even the two.We get to Wahika's cave and she goes in to pick her shawl. There is no reason for me to enter since we are going to the palace together. Moreover, there is a particular smell of incense that welcomes me at the entrance.It chokes me and

SHE HAD ESCAPED!Wahika's POVLong before, the people of Blessingstoke accepted me, long before i learnt how to use my talent so well, i wasn't always like this.Infact i was much more extroverted. I had friends and people around me in Albany. However something happened. Something unexpected had happened. Each time i think back to it, it must have been the gods who directed me here for the sole purpose of fulfilling my duties and healing.Sometimes, i thought about Albany.

The day i got disgraced by a little mistake of trust. Humans could be callous. The selfish nature of humans is a destructive one.

ALPHA DEVON IS BACKAvery's POVThe news that Alpha Devon has come gives me bone frightening chills. Infact, I can't breathe. I suddenly begin to shiver. Different thoughts ram through my brain.All i do is go back to sit on the cold floor. There is nothing I can do so long i am locked in this den. My hands clasp my head and i look up to the ceiling as if summoning the gods to come to my aid. Then i take my hands to my feet to hold them close like a form of protection for myself."How the hell do i get out of here? Alive." I think hardly as i look at the ceiling like it has some answers to my questions. I need to escape Blessingstoke alive. I cannot for the life of me die at the hands of a ruthless alpha who could gorge out my eyes or fo things more brutal than the other sickening thoughts filling up my head.My stomach roils at the thought of all theseand I rub it to relieve me of the discomfort. It's as if it can sense everything going on also. "What do i do?" I rack my brain hard

I WON'T PAY THE MONEYBeatrice's POVWhen Reginald told me of his plans, they made some sense to me. However thinking about what Levi would say if he heard that i plotted with him scared me.I have been ruminating on it since morning. "Should I go with him?" I sit at the ample pillared iron wrought verandah holding a magazine. My mind is weighing the odds of the plans and i am stuck on the first page i opened thirty minutes ago.The local magazine contained hot gossips from different families in the Park. Those who couldn't meet up with their spouse's demands, those who found pleasure in having many sex partners, those who had family issues were not spared.Gossips like this frequented guest houses and other social gatherings. Most times, friends were the ones who spread such gossips. It could be as a result of a quarrel they had had with the person in particular.It was another reason why I don't keep plenty friends except Lady Ashley Carr and Lady Stephanie Drake. Those two have bee

If only she knew that escaping will only add more fuel to Alpha Devon's anger, she would have stay put.However, i understand her. I was once in captivity also. Captivity had a way of making you quest for freedom. You just want to ne free to fly again without your wings being clipped.Avery March had quested for freedom and she got it. I just hoped that she ran as fast as her legs could carry her because she would regret ever coming here if she didn't run.Day by day, I prayed for a way to escape in the forest. Just one slight mistake that would make me run as fast as my legs could carry me.The first time i tried it, I was caught almost immediately. They whipped me with their whips and starved me of food. "Young man, if you ever try that again, that will be your goddamn end! Am I clear?" One of the slave traders dragged my ear and said as they tied me to a pole.I can never forget his
