Alaric’s POVI needed to find Jay. He was most likely still in the garden. I stormed out of the palace and began to search for him in the gardens. He could better explain what was going on. Speaking to Alana first had obviously been a bad idea.“Jay!” I yelled as I moved through hedges and shrubs.“Jay!” I rounded a corner and jumped up to look over the hedges that were almost as tall as myself.“Jordan!” I shouted, feeling frustration begin to mount.“My prince?” I bumped into a guard.“Where is my beta?” I demanded.“He's not here anymore sire, I don't know if he's in the palace or he left.”I turned around and stormed back into the palace.How could she! I thought to myself as I stormed through the passageways. I didn't know where I was going, my vision was blurred with anger.I arrived at my room and stormed in. Thankfully Ava wasn't there.“Arrrgghh!” I screamed and kicked my bed frame.The bed slid across the room and jammed into the opposite wall. Crushing the bedside table on

Alana’s POVI held the spoon to his mouth again and he drank the soup.He looked so cute. Like a baby.Each time he took a spoonful of the soup, my heart skipped a bit.I could feel Georgia rumbling inside me.I wanted to slap her.All the times that I'd needed her today she'd not come to my aid and now she was getting seduced by Alaric's moans of satisfaction.“More.” Alaric mumbled as I took a little bit more time with the next spoonful, hoping against hope that Ava didn't show up.“Sorry.” I muttered as I lifted the spoon to his mouth.It was the last spoonful and I set the spoon down in the plate to pour him a glass of water.“Here.” I held it out to him.He ignored it and peered into the empty bowl of soup.I sighed. “It's finished Alaric.”“Lies!” He exclaimed. “Look!” He shoved the plate in my face. “There's still crumbs stuck to the bowl!”I nearly banged my head against the counter in frustration.What sort of a big baby was this?“Alaric.” I began in the calmest voice I coul

Alana's POVI sat down on a bench beneath the shade of an orchid tree in my school's parking lot, my eyes darting around at the slightest sound of someone passing by and my muscles getting ready to take a quick flight at anyone I'm familiar with.Truthfully I didn't even know how I had gotten here tho. I just kept running without looking back, I had just wanted to get as far away as possible from Alaric and the palace and by the time my chest had stopped heaving and I had caught my breath, I looked around me and here I was.I shut my eyes tight, reprimanding myself again for the shameful thing I had done.Fk! How could I have let it happen?How could I have let myself succumb to that?I really do hate myself for doing that, although deep down I don’t regret that. But it still was really wrong of me to do such. I really do hate myself for this, I thought.I shook my head for the upteenth time, as though trying to shake away the memory of last night and make it look like the kiss had ne

Ava's POVHow dare he!I was so upset! Look how he'd just thrown me off him like I was nothing!I flopped back on the bed, my face contorted in a deep frown.Then I realised I was too restless to lie down and I got up immediately and began pacing about.Had seeing Alana with Jay affected him so much? So much that even after drowning himself in drinks until he was sick, he still couldn't take his mind off it?I kicked my bed hard, yelling in frustration.What the hell had that girl done to him!Who the hell did she think she was?Alaric was mine!Mine!I was his Luna!She couldn't just come one day and take that away from me!“Arghhh!” I screamed.It was so frustrating and annoying!Without her doing anything to Alaric directly, he was so affected by her actions!No. I couldn't let her take my place.At this rate it would be a matter of time before Alaric discarded me for her.My chest tightened at the thought.I couldn't lose him!I felt tears sting my eyes but I pushed it roughly awa

Alaric's POVI sighed inwardly and turned around to see Ava approaching Alana and I from behind.“Hey babe.” I mumbled.Then my eyes widened. How long had she been standing there? What had she heard?I narrowed my eyes at Ava, trying to discern her feelings but funnily enough, she didn't look angry or suspicious or upset like she usually did when she saw Alana and I talking.Which made me a bit on edge.As she came closer however I noticed an uncanny glint in her eye but before I could place my hand on what it could possibly be, she turned to Alana and smiled.“Hi Alana!” She said peppily and curled her arm around mine.I swallowed.Okay this was strange.Alana seemed to be thinking the same thing because she suddenly looked scared and confused at the same time.Looking from Ava to me then to Ava again, her eyes widening she lifted her hand slightly and waved weakly.“Oh come on Al – oh my gosh!” Ava suddenly chuckled, “You and Alaric are sort of namesakes!”“Wha…?”“Huh?”Alana and I
