After he left, I stayed sitting, thinking of what the hell just happened. The dining hall was still silent, everybody trying to figure out what just happened. I stared at my food like it held the answers I needed. After a moment of shock passed. Whispers erupted around me. I couldn’t continue with my food so I stood up and left. I knew it was Sheila who followed me after I walked out because Grey had left minutes after the Alpha stormed out.Here I was thinking he’d be mad that I got into another trouble after his warning. He was really pissed and I’d thought it was directed at me the moment he walked through that door. Was he really going to kill Petra or was he bluffing? I don’t plan on finding out and that was why I was going after him. I didn’t know which way he had gone but I was going to check his office first.“Slow down Jade, where are you going?” Sheila was jogging to catch up with me.“To find him” I made to go up the stairs but Sheila stopped me.“I don’t think he went upst

I stood still, staring at him like he had grown another pair of limbs. He was in love with me? I knew I needed to say something but my brain had gone blank. He blushed brightly, waiting for me to say something. I opened my mouth but he cut me off.“You know what? Please forget that I ever said that” He said before storming off.“No wait. Grey” I called after him but he didn’t stop.I would never have guessed this was it all along. I thought Sheila was only teasing me when she told me about it. Grey was one of my favorite people and I like him a lot but I don’t think I feel the same way about him. I wanted to tell him this but he didn’t give me a chance to do so. Didn’t stay long enough to hear me.I returned to the castle, a little mazed from what Grey had dumped on me. He didn’t show up for dinner and did his best to avoid me the next few days. I told Sheila what had happened and she wasn’t surprised. She advised I let him be, he’ll come around soon. The days leading to the moon god

Slowly, I opened my eyes, squinting instantly at how bright the room was. I blinked a few times before my eyes adjusted. It took me a while to recognize that I was at the infirmary. I tried to recall what led to me being here but my memory was blank. My body felt too heavy to move like a dead weight was placed on me. My throat was patched and itchy. With a little strength I gathered, I tried to sit up but a sharp hot pain in my stomach stopped me. Hissing, I lay back down. What happened to me? I peered down to see a white cloth wrapped around my stomach with blood stains on it. What is this? How did I get this? I twisted my head enough to the side to look around the room. This was a different room I was in. It looked more comfortable and private than the last public room I had been in. What was going on? This, I was wondering when the door was pushed open and Aztec walked in. I saw two guards stationed outside the door before he closed it. Looking up, he caught my eyes and rushed to

“What woods?” Eliana asked, still confused.“I encountered a man in the woods while searching for my sister, that was the reason I needed up here?” I looked at the Alpha to see him still in thought.“How did he get into the castle? He isn’t from the pack is he?” Eliana’s brows were creased.“He had a rogue scent and some other scent I couldn’t identify,” The Alpha answered.“Why is he after you? You don’t know this man from Adams right?” Eliana turned again to face me.“Nope, never met him in my life. Except for that particular day”.Sighing, he shifted his focus to me. “Rodor said you’ll be discharged in a few days. Once he gets his hands on the medicine” I bobbed my head. I was tired already of being on this bed day in and day out. “Alright” He gave Eliana a look and I looked at her to see her nod. I knew they were communicating and I wondered what it was.“You’ll be staying with me when you’re discharged” He stated.“I’m sorry what?” I must not have heard him right.“You heard me

I stood outside the door of the new room wondering if the Alpha would let Sheila come see me here sometimes. I watched as some girls finished up with their cleaning and changed the sheets. I honestly felt bad watching them do it and judging from the huge scowls on their face, they weren’t the happiest either. I would have chosen to clean it myself but just like yesterday, I woke up very late again. The softness of his bed elongated my stay in dreamland and by the time I woke up and walked in here, the girls were rounding up.I returned to the Alpha’s room to eat and then shower because I didn’t have any supplies I would use in the new room. He sat and ate with me only taking a small amount of food. He finished up fast and before he could leave the room I stopped him.“Can my friend, Sheila come up here sometimes?” That room was very big, maybe not at big as his but still it was too big and lonely. I was already used to spending my day and night with Sheila. “This wing is off limits”
