CHAPTER 21

CRYSTAL'S POVI bit my bottom lip and nodded slowly forcing a smile."I'm fine, Xavier. It must have been the migraine." I laughed it off.But my chest was still burning at the fact that my best friend, Emily had ignored me like I never existed.He arched his brows while sweeping his gaze over my face and then slowly nodded."Then come let's have breakfast so you can take some medications." He said as he extended his hand to me.I gulped and nodded, maintaining the fake smile plastered on my face. I gingerly took his outstretched hand and he gripped mine gently as he pushed me to my feet and led me to the mini dining room where Emily was waiting patiently with her head bowed.I glanced at her but she didn't even look at me, she kept her head lowered as she clutched the empty tray.I took my seat and Xavier sat at the opposite side of the circular table.I finally focused my attention on the table. Sumptuous toast, bacon, scrambled eggs and a cup of lemon and ginger tea.My stomach c

CHAPTER 22

CRYSTAL'S POVMy heart pounded in my chest at an alarming rate of excitement as I read the note. It read:"Crystal, if you can, let's meet underneath our favourite tree tonight."At once I knew who it was from.Emily!!!!! My heart swelled with relief and I heaved out a deep breath.Thank goodness! We can finally meet. I was already planning how to meet her in my head when the note flew out as if on cue.When did she have the time to write this and place it under my plate? How did she know the breakfast was for me?Either way, I was overwhelmed that my feelings had reached her. She wasn't angry like I thought she was!I thanked the moon goddess for bringing us together! Life back then at the miserable camp where the slave training took place, was hell on earth. According to our superiors, the training was mandatory if we ever wanted to get hired by the royal palace. Most of the slaves at the training camp were orphans just like us, their parents passed away at war or due to poverty

CHAPTER 23

XAVIER'S POVI made my way to the elders's chambers in the royal palace. My thoughts were clouded by a lot of things; the throne as the coronation drew near, my wicked step-mother and step-brother who would stop at nothing to get their hands on the throne and.. Crystal Thorne... That young lady intrigued me. She was like a gift box that needed to be unwrapped carefully. I couldn't tell what to expect next and the anticipation and thrill brewed inside of me as I waited to unfold the next layer of the wrapped box. Crystal Thorne was really that girl. The fact that she was an omega and once a slave, made me even more curious. Although, prior to our encounter, I had carried out my own personal investigation but it was not enough. We had stayed together for a week and I've been blown away by her. Which made me think that maybe I didn't really know her as I thought I did. She was somewhat of a mystery to me. The fact that my wolf had called out to her, a mere omega like her c

CHAPTER 24

XAVIER'S POVThe day Mary Fernandez passed away was a day of utter grief and gloom. It was as if the whole palace was suddenly shrouded in darkness. The clouds swallowed the sun, making the whole day bleak and dark and the air was stale. It was as if I was hugging death too. For weeks I hadn't been myself and I locked myself in my room, refusing to eat. My father had checked up on me severally but I wouldn't listen to him. I wept throughout the day. Then one day, a gentle knock on my door woke me from my slumber. I wasn't having it because I didn't want any disturbances from the maid forcing me to eat and all. Or was it my father? Or Leo perhaps? I didn't want to see anyone at this moment! The knock continued. With a loud groan, I slowly dragged myself out of bed and headed to the door. With my hand hovering over the door handle, I paused and asked: "Who is it? " "It's me, Xavier. Open up. " The familiar voice whispered fiercely. It's Uncle Ivan! To me, he wasn't

CHAPTER 25

XAVIER'S POV: "Xavier! You are late! " Uncle Ivan whispered fiercely as he poked his head out from the door, his eyes scanning the surroundings suspiciously for any hidden movements and ensuring I wasn't being followed.It was our makeshift hideout and we didn't want anyone finding out we were meeting. We couldn't trust anyone at such a critical time. As Uncle Ivan would always say: "Keep your eyes peeled open always."Giving him an apoplectic smile I said: "I'm very sorry Uncle Ivan. I got here as fast as I could. " Yeah right, Xavier. You were busy daydreaming about the past. I chided myself mentally. "No worries. Get in! " He said quickly as he urged me with his hands frantically gesturing towards the ajar door leading inside the secluded apartment. Looking outside for the last time, I entered the apartment hurriedly. He clicked the door shut and turning to face me, he huffed out a deep sigh. "I hope you weren't followed. " He inquired with arched brows. I shook my h

CHAPTER 26

XAVIER'S POVIt was a dungeon but I had no idea where it led to. Worse still, It was pitch black. I couldn't see a damn thing after the bookshelf creaked shut, leaving us in darkness. "Uncle? ""I'm right behind you. Wait a minute I have a torch. "I huffed out in disappointment and clicked my tongue. "So much for the befitting place you mentioned, Uncle. "I heard him chuckle, almost causing my spine to bristle in annoyance. But remembering who the hell the great Uncle Ivan was, I knew this wasn't what he wanted to show me. It was laughable to just be in a pitch-dark dungeon and talk about how you wanna rule the world. "No, it's not. A little patience, young man. " He admonished again and then I heard the rustling of his clothes as he looked for the torch. A few seconds later, he switched on the torch and brightness filled the once pitch-dark dungeon. My vision readjusted and I could see the stairway leading further down in pitch darkness. I gulped. Never been a frien

CHAPTER 27

XAVIER'S POV"What about her?" I asked with a puzzled expression on my face. He arched his brows. "Why not? "I quickly swept my tongue over my chapped lips and flashed him a rueful smile. "My bad, Uncle. I was just um... Carried away by the abrupt question. "But why was my Uncle suddenly interested in Crystal Thorne of all people?? She was after all just a mere Omega and slave. Well, she was technically not a slave anymore from the moment I claimed her as my mate.He smiled back at me and shook his head."I know you have claimed her as your mate, Xavier. I mean, after your public show in front of everyone, why wouldn't I be aware? The whole palace couldn't keep shut about it."Yeah right. Everyone was being nosy about Crystal Thorne and why I had claimed her as my mate. Like it was anyone's business anyway. But I didn't understand why Uncle Ivan was concerned about Crystal. Could something be wrong with me claiming her as my mate? I pressed my lips together in embarrass

CHAPTER 28

XAVIER'S POV"And I fail to adequately grasp the young lady's role in this. " His words haunted my thoughts at once and my mind was filled with millions of questions about Crystal Thorne. What if she was never a slave? And maybe a spy? But how could she be spying for that long? She looked rather unwell. And according to my homework, she had been subjected to the most dreaded slave training and I was impressed she survived. She was a big fighter to have survived for this long. I was happy to see that she was gaining weight and looking even more beautiful than how she was while staying in that miserable slum. What blew my mind in particular was how supportive and selfless she was to her friend, Emily. She didn't want her to suffer alone but rather to be with her in the Royal palace even if it was to work as a slave. At least the working conditions were quite favourable compared to that miserable slum. She was... What was I thinking at such a crucial moment?!! My Uncle ju

CHAPTER 29

XAVIER'S POVHis amber eyes gleamed as they bored into my dark brown ones. I was befuddled as I struggled to find the right words to speak again. The silence was deafening. The clock ticked in rhythm with my heart beat as I waited. Damn! What the hell was going on? He was kinda giving me the creeps! "Uncle Ivan? What's the matter? " I inquired with bulged eyes. He shook his head as if he was pulling himself back to the present. What the hell was that? He chuckled wryly and let go off me. "I just had a bad feeling. " He said quietly as he stared into oblivion like he was seeing a ghost. He was acting weird and now I was creeped out even more. I gulped and rubbed my wrist gently, utter confusion still marring my brows. "What do you mean by that? What's going on. You're acting strange Uncle."He shook his head again and smiled at me. "Never mind. Forget I ever said anything. " He said waving it off. Like hell I would! He had a bad feeling about something out of the

CHAPTER 30

LEO'S POV"You look perfect! " My mother's voice startled me as she walked into my chamber. She was clad in a Burgundy dress that hid her feet; her dress was adorned with glittering precious diamonds and a silver piece of jewellery circled her lean long neck and she wore long earrings that dropped to her shoulders. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun. The sparkling jewellery accentuated her iris. She looked all dolled up with make-up on.As she came close to adjust my Emerald shirt, a whiff of her expensive perfume teased my nostrils. "Mother, you look...stunning," I said carefully as I allowed my eyes to zero in on her unusual appearance. To be frank, I have never seen her like this before. It made me wonder what this occasion was really all about. The effort it took her to come up with this event was short-timed and it turned out amazing. I was sure by now, that a lot of guests were already here and some may have arrived. And my half-brother, Xavier. I wondered if he wo
