CHAPTER 41 ARTFOLD’S POV My legs could not settle to stand somewhere, my ass could not stay on the chair, and my mind was all on her, waiting for her to appear in the room. I paced back and forth, stealing glances to the stairs as I awaited her. I had sent her personal maid to her to ask if she’s done yet and I have been told she would be here any moment from now on. I have decided to take on Callum’s word, and the priestess word and everyone else’s word. I have grieved enough. I have done enough for Liana. And now it was time for me to focus back on just both of us. To focus on the new me. I could not make her suffer because I was going through something, or make my wolf or deny myself my hard-earned feelings for her. My wolf senses picked up on the hearty sound of her giggle and my heartbeat quickened. She was here. I would see her. She would grace my eyes with her beautiful self and I was going to tell her. That I liked her. And that I’ve always felt something for her, ever

CHAPTER 43. ALICIA’S POV “Something is wrong..” I kept on saying, looking into his eyes. “Come in first and let’s talk.” He ushered me in and closed the door, leading me straight to his bed and having me sit at the edge of it. I gulped down as he walked towards his wardrobe and pulled out a white linen top, throwing it on from his head as it fell to his body. My eyes followed as he moved from the bed to a mini fridge located beside the bed, bringing out a bottle of water. He twisted the cap open before stretching it to me. I took it from him, gulping it all at a go as if I had been famished by water. He collected the bottle back from me, covered it before folding his arms on his chest, “What happened to you?” “I met him. I met Alexander.” His eyes widened instantly, his hands falling off his chest as he walked towards me. He crouched in front of me, his hands out in the open to touch me when I flinched away from him. “Did…did he touch you?” He asked, blinking gently. I no

CHAPTER 45 ARTFOLD’S POV The sound of the birds chirping from outside the room brought me back from the lands of the unconscious to my lids opening and my arm straddling around someone. I fluttered my lids open, settling first on the beautiful damsel that was fast asleep in my arms. A yawn escaped my lips as I closed my eyes briefly, sighing deeply before opening them again. I opened my eyes again, meeting the beautiful woman’s face in front of me again. And that was when everything settled in. Alicia. The beautiful damsel in front of me was Alicia. She was right here. Right in front of me. I jumped out of the bed, not even caring if my hand disrupted her sleep or not. I stood on the ground, my eyes wide open and staring at her. The events of last night started rushing in my head. I was petting her to sleep when sleep finally caught on to me. I had said to myself to just lie down for a bit before going on to call the guards and yet here I was, our arms entangled in each other.

CALISTA’S POVI got home and released a sigh before going inside. No sooner had I stepped in when I met the angry stares from my family.“Stop there!” Kayla's father yelled at me and I let out a sigh as I lowered my head. “How dare you come at this time? How dare you come late?” He yelled even louder and in no time, everyone began to speak against me.“How could you come home at this time when you have a lot you are supposed to do? What type of animal are you?” “Who is supposed to do the dishes when you decided to stay out till this time, you useless girl? What is making you act like you own the word?”“There are chances that you are sleeping around and once we find out and we confirm that it is true, then , be ready to be doomed. We are going to make you so miserable for the rest of your days.” He threatened.They continued to speak and began to yell at me. I did not utter a word to either of them as all I wanted was for them to be done as soon as possible. Of course, they could no

LOGAN’S POVI arrived the next day with a lot of thoughts running through my mind. I looked around and diverted my gaze to Calista’s chair but to my greatest surprise, she was not around. It was quite unusual for her as she not the type to always arrive late. If there was one thing she always did, it was to come to school early. What was up this time?I waited for hours yet even till the end of the second period, had not been around for two periods. As soon as it was break period, I walked up to her cousin to ask her what was going on.“Where is she? Where is Calista?” I questioned.“Well.....” She shrugged and threw her hands in the air as she concentrated on her makeup. She occasionally smiled at the mirror as sh seemed so engrossed in her make up.“Answer the damn question.” I repeated immediately, trying to stay as calm and collected as I could.She rolled her eyes and let go of the make-up kit before diverting her full attention to me.“She is sick. She is not feeling good and th
