Chapter 21Alexis POV. I felt an overwhelming wave of anxiety as I observed Khalid's anger, a level of anger I have never witnessed in him before. My heart raced, and my mind raced along with it, desperately searching for a way to calm him down. “Your highness, please...”But it seemed like, no matter what I said or did, it seemed futile. But seeing him that way, plus the cold look on his face, managed to instill a bit of fear in me. I wanted to teach Megan a lesson, so she would know that Khalid is mine and back off. So as I walked slowly towards him, I prayed that I would be successful in calming him down, and because she was there…I hoped it went smoothly. “My lord,” I said slowly, and he swiftly turned to glare at me. Megan also stared at me with a raised eyebrow….“That was what I wanted,” I smiled to myself and spanked my head lightly, when I noticed that I made the smile too obvious. His gaze tore deeply into my skin, and I almost scampered away if not for the sudden

Aaron's povThe moment seemed joyous to me. My face was still housing a smile while my fingertips were given slow taps on the table before me.No matter how the case might be, taking a reckless move wouldn't be an option. I might be smiling currently, but my head was running miles, thinking of different speculations to fit in my strategy.Then my eyes flew to the front, meeting the man before me, and my expression turned serious.“What other information do you have?

It wasn't as though I didn't trust him, but I wanted every value piece placed on the table for me to review.He gulped down hard. My gaze seemed heated on him, but I didn't soften it. I always have this suffocating aura on me, and just now I coated myself in it. He knew he had no choice but to say it out, loud and clear, without mistakes.“Sir… it's about your daughter” he stammered, and I became winded.My body shrunk down to the

Megan's POVKhalid and I hurried to the scene, and I noticed him desperately searching the area, his eyes fuming with anger at a ferocity I have never seen before. The area was clear which was a surprise. We had seen the men run in this direction, that, I am certain of, but the area was clear, there was no one here, I could feel that, and I know Khalid could feel it too.They weren't here which means that they had managed to escape somehow.Khalid must be disappointed, and angry, his eyes emitted those two emotions. I feel the aura around him turn to one of rage and he starts marching out of the woods, through the entrance and out to the apartment where the security guards occupy.I hurry after him, hoping that he doesn't go furious and do something he'd regret.On reaching the post, the guards bowed in greeting him, but he ignored their greetings and went into scolding them.

Chapter 27 Alexis' POV " Why don't you swing it that way?" Khalid said, and Megan laughed hard at his impersonation of a tennis coach.Megan was the student who was not serving the ball well. " I didn't know." she complained, getting into character. " Next time, swing the bat like this." He demonstrated, and Megan nodded in seriousness.She paused, and spluttered, " This is hilarious." Megan said, laughing hard as she wiped the tears that spilled out of her eyes." You are not supposed to laugh. You are unserious." He reprimanded.She doubled in laughter again, slapping her knees at his expression. They were having fun, " I did better than others would." He said, watching them annoyed me, what the hell was this god forsaken show of affection?"Of course." Megan replied sarcastically, and Khalid smiled at her. " You are a really good coach. I promise to be better." She continued laughing, and I hissed. This girl has managed to etch her love in his heart that he was no longer at

Instantly, a sense of foreboding washed over me, and I braced myself for the news he was about to deliver.A sense of apprehension settled in the air, thickening it with an unspoken tension. Something was definitely amiss.That I was sure of!As the physician approached, his footsteps seemed heavy, as if carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I watched his lips move, forming words, but the sound seemed distant, as if I was underwater. The gravity of the situation hung in the air, thick and suffocating.“Are you listening?” He suddenly asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. “Uhhh.....” I trailed off, laughing nervously and he nodded. “There’s an impending danger in the pack!” He said and my eyes widened. “What?” I swiftly turned to glance at Khalid who was at the edge of the seat. “What do
