XAVIER'S POVShe looked utterly baffled that I was willing to give her the freedom she deserved. She had suffered for so long, and it was about time she had a taste of what actually living was like.People are naturally selfish and if given the opportunity of even having a glimpse of luxury, especially after having suffered in all of their days in miserable conditions, their priority would be to look out for themselves and not others. But Crystal Thorne was different. She was selfless and kindhearted. I've never seen anyone like her after my mother passed away. For some strange reason, the more time I spent with her, the more I realised the similarities she shared with my late mother. Dear mother, was this a sign? Was she the one for me?Now she's fighting for her people who were still in the slums. She was advocating for a better feeding system for them. Honestly, I never realised how poorly the omegas at the slums were being fed during Luna Rachael's regime. When my mother and fa

ALICIA'S POVAfter Leo had instructed me not to enter his private chambers for two days, I had been bored to death all alone in the guest room. It was luxurious like he said; the bed was big and comfy, and the shower was good but not as great as the one in Leo's private chambers. Overall, the room was reasonably spacious for a person but not extremely wide in width and length like Leo's. I missed my favourite makeup mirror. It was just two days like he said, so I can manage until then. Hopefully, he doesn't change his mind again. Recently, Leo has been acting pretty strange and unpredictable, making it difficult for me to easily manipulate him like I used to. And his half-brother, Xavier, was no different: they had been acting strangely recently. And whose fault was that?I balled my hands into a tight fist as my spine bristled with unbridled contempt and rage. It was Crystal Thorne's fault! That wacky slave girl! Where on earth did she even come from? And why the hell was Leo su

CRYSTAL'S POV The walk back to the palace was unbearably silent. I tugged at my dress discreetly as I bit my bottom lip.Why was Alicia Evans at the garden? And I wondered what they must have been talking about. She didn't look so happy when she stormed off in rage. Plus, the final look of resentment she shot at me indicated that there was some sort of warning she wanted to pass to me. But I had no idea what she was implying. I was clueless. All I know was that Alicia loathed slaves and omegas because she regarded us as low grades and not a person. So, it was not surprising that she was angered that Xavier was getting close to me and not her, especially considering the fact that the both of them were once a couple.Gee, it wasn't my fault that Xavier suddenly changed. Even I was taken aback when Alpha Xavier appeared with the banquet of flowers. I was dumbfounded and mortified all at the same time. Who would have thought that Emily, my best friend's advice, was finally beginning to

ALICIA'S POVAfter about nineteen seconds, the chubby guard brought Lucas out."Here you go, young lady." He announced as he closed the door behind him.Lucas shot him a curious look and then looked at me, eyeing me closely."Henry, who is this woman that wants to see me?" He asked the chubby guard. So his name is Henry, huh?Henry shrugged and gestured to me."Why don't you ask her yourself? She's right in front of you." I chuckled and then cleared my throat."Hi, Lucas. Can you spare me some minutes? I have a job for you." I said firmly.He arched his brows at me."Who may you be? How do you know my name?" I puffed out a deep sigh."Henry, can you give us some privacy?" I peered up at the chubby guard.He reluctantly nodded and disappeared into the quarters, shutting the door.Ensuring he was out of earshot, I turned to face the puzzled Lucas."I don't want anyone to know about this. Not a single soul should know that I'm the one ordering you to do this. Do you understand?" I whi

CRYSTAL'S POV He was pretty muscular, and he was clad in armour like he was preparing for battle."Miss Crystal Thorne, I believe?" He quizzed, eyeing me curiously from head to toe.I gulped. I was uncomfortable with the way he was seizing me up.Emily tugged my dress to get my attention and drew closer to whisper in my ears:"Why are the guards here?"It was not only the muscular guard. There were seven more men clad in armour, and they encircled us.I sucked in several deep breaths and puffed out a deep sigh. These must be the guards sent to escort me, but did they really have to go the extra mile getting all geared up like this? What's out there? Was it that dangerous? From what I heard, outside the walls of the well secured royal palace may be dangerous because of the presence of rogues loitering in the woods.But we weren't going too far off. The Victoria Lake was only a couple of miles away. Nevertheless, my safety was paramount. That's why Xavier had insisted that eight men
