I stared at the door Aurora had walked through. Her words kept bouncing around my mind, pulling strings of torment at me. It can’t be true, the Alpha didn’t accept me as his mate to watch me die, is that a way of giving me an easy death? I shook my head again and sighed. His cold behavior towards me clearly shouted out that he didn’t love me. The way he looked at Aurora, smiled at her and talked to her gave me a huge clue that he didn’t want me but her. The door swung open and the voice I’ve forever been evading sank into my ear. “How are you feeling now, Elena?” I spun around, glaring at Nathan’s face. “Well, as you can see, I’m fine,” I snapped. I still can’t understand where this unusual courage comes from whenever I am with him. He smiled wryly, tilting his neck nervously. “The Alpha’s lover seems to be a sassy lady,” I was finally beginning to start a conversation, unusually. He swerved his head in my direction, and his wide shocked eyes stared at me. I smiled ruefully

~Alexander~Calm freezing air swept through my open window and swept hard on my face. My eyes remained blank as the air stung into them.I was putting on my favorite dark plain coat over a dark shirt and pants.The door opened and Mother walked into the room. I can tell by her jittery voice that she was extremely happy.Her chattering stopped when she saw me standing by the window, gazing up at the dark space.“What are you doing there?” Her footsteps hastily approached me. I sighed and turned around, she gasped as her eyes trailed from my disarrayed head to my feet.“Why are you dressed like that!” she snapped, glaring daggers at me. I rolled my eyes, unconcerned.“It’s just dinner with someone I’ll be seeing every day,” I groaned. Her glare increased and she fumed in anger.“Must you always have a problem with everything?” she yelled.“Must you always have a problem with my dressing?” I replied, nonchalantly.“This is your Luna we’re talking about here!”

From my window, I gazed down at the trainees running around the field. Since morning, I’ve been lazily hanging around my window, hoping to find him among the trainees, yet no sign of Xander. My patience was gradually dwindling as I paced around, skeptically. “Are you sure he won’t disappoint me again?” I whispered to myself. “Are you okay, my Lady? You’ve been acting all anxious since morning, you haven’t even touched your breakfast,” Glacia said and I turned, faking a smile.“Are you sure? Is this because of your dinner date with the Alpha?” Glacia asked, I kept mute, hiding my face to conceal the pink fingers already spreading on my face. “You must have felt lonely, the Alpha was so cold, wasn’t he?” she giggled. I looked at Glacia. I have come to take her as an elder sister, she reminds me so much of Melsa. Glacia is 19 years old, a year older than me, though she doesn’t have a mate yet. “It wasn’t so bad, I enjoyed his company,” I said, smiling. Glacia's mouth fell open in

My little body melted into his, I was slowly enjoying the effect it had on my belly. Uncountable butterflies played around my belly, giving me nauseous feelings. We rode through beautiful landscapes and flowing springs. Xander didn’t stop for a moment to let me take a second glimpse at the wonderful creations around me. If there’s a warmth much safer than the haven I was in, I don’t know. His large strong hands protectively wrapped around me, his huge body proudly towered behind mine like a protective shield. I love the comfort I was getting in his arms, I love the tension the brushing of his skin against mine gave me. My head rested on his hard chest as his hot breath fanned my hair and teased my neck. We got to a dark wood and the horse trotted to a stop. He slowly let go of the reins and got down from the horse, he stretched out his hands and cupped me into his arms, dropping me cautiously on the ground. He led the horse to a spot and tied it to a tree. “Be a good boy, Arlene,

~Elena~“I’m sure she’s not the one, how can a common weak Omega kill a wizard?”Xander’s curt words made my eyes snap open. “Perhaps, there’s something we don’t know about her,” Nathan responded. I glanced around the dark room I was kept in. Where am I? Perhaps, it was the physician’s room though the bed felt different, it reminded me of my bed back in my room. I slowly and soundlessly ran my hands over the edges of the large bed. This isn’t a physician’s bed, this is no doubt my bed. “I doubt that,” Xander answered. They were still unaware of my consciousness. “Why do you always take her so weak?” Nathan snapped. “Isn’t she weak?” Xander replied coldly. I turned my head in the direction of their voice, I couldn’t see their face due to the poorly illuminated room. “I still believe there’s something mysterious about her,” Nathan muttered. “Just shut up, Nathan!” Xander growled and I cringed at the volume of venom in his voice. “You’re only defending her because she’s your mat
