chapter 31

Chapter 31Lessie's POVI just stood there, my heart was pounding furiously in my chest.Lena had just turned and left, leaving her scent around me like syrup glued on me. Her voice was still ringing in my head, and I did not even know what I was angry about, her knowing that I am indeed living in the Alpha's house or her misinterpreting that I was doing stuffs with Alpha Duiane.I hadn't told anyone else that I had left the dorm and moved in with Alpha Duine. Not even Trent.Now here he stood before me. Always tall and imposing, his eyes were on me like they were waiting for an explanation I wasn't sure I could give him. I squinted my eyes, I had no idea on where to start, I didn’t even know if I wanted to explain things to him.Lena’s words still hung in the air like putrid perfume. "Either you're something to him… or you're a pawn." Those words kept ringing in my ear.What did she know anyway. She knew nothing about me.I shook my head and started towards where Trent st

chapter 32

Chapter 32Duiane's POVShe left that morning without even glancing back. Without even a goodmorning. No goodbye. No even damn knock on the office door.I lingered at the dining room table that morning longer than I should have, I was sipping cold coffee while the maids walked around silently, clearly not wanting to make a sound. Dave had already left to make patrol and the silence in the house was more stifling than it had to be."She has left for class," her maid said to me when I finally asked, but I already knew."She dressed up and left quite early, before dawn broke." The maid told me.Of course she did.I'd blasted at her in the garden the night before, I couldn't blame her. I reminded myself I didn't mind. That it was best I did that in that manner. That she needed boundaries drawn. That she was the one who was off her territory.But the harder I tried to focus on the council reports that were all over my desk, the more my mind kept drifting back to her face, how it ha

chapter 33

chapter 33 Duiane's POV I had needed the walk more than I was willing to admit. The school training ground was empty at this time, everyone was either busy or too exhausted to be at the training grounds so I was alone with my thoughts. My boots tapped out the rhythm on the gravel. It was the rhythm of the storm within me. It was always her. Lessie or Kayla now. The way she would not come after me after her classes. The way she stood beside Trent as if she didn't require my protection, as if she wasn't in my charge. It bothered me more than I could possibly describe. She didn't realize the weight I bore. the secrets I concealed. Maybe she never would. But that wasn't going to stop me from doing what I said that I would do which was to keep her safe, even from the truths that I know would destroy her. I walked for a moment and I turned and headed back to my office. I hadn't even made it inside my office before Dave walked to me, his eyes narrowed and body tense.

chapter 34

Chapter 34Duiane's POVI walked down the hallway of the royal house quickly, each step pounding against the shiny floors. This was something that stung more than anything. Stealing to me was inconceivable, disrespectful, dishonorable, deserving of an example.I arrived at the scene in front of the shut vault hall where two guards held watch over a chained individual, he was bruised, bloody and half-conscious."Alpha Duiane," one guard greeted. "We caught him trying to break open the vault door. He was armed and only surrendered when we arrived." He bowed respectfully when he was done.I looked at the man. With his torn shirt, his stomach protruded through tattered fabric. There were bruises on his face, handcuffs chained to his wrists. He was barely alive. I hated this.I did not break rules. I did not condone greed. But I recognized that revenge was not justice. Not if there was theft involved. Theft? Killing, I could live with in war. In life, defense, war but stealing?

chapter 35

Chapter 35Lessie's POVMy stomach growled again, it had been like that for a few minutes now. I was famished.Infact I was starving. I was dizzy, lightheaded, and almost fainting. I had barely eaten since breakfast, and now the sun was well past its peak. My head throbbed badly. I had to go back home.I just needed to feel like I wasn't falling apart.I got to the mansion, as I approached the marble stairs, a low murmur reached my ears. There were voices. Masculine sounding stern and clipped in tone.I slowed down, intrigued.The sound was coming from a room nearby.I didn't know why I went closer. Maybe I was too tired to think, or maybe some part of me hoped I'd catch a glimpse of a different Alpha Duiane. But what I caught instead stopped me in my tracks.What I saw there would plague me.The entrance t was not completely closed. It was open just enough to get a a glance. First, I saw some guards with a man in their midst. The dark stone walls cast an ominous mood. T

chapter 36

Chapter 36Author's POVThe halls of the royal house were quiet as the last rays of the sun dipped over the horizon. In a wing of the house, a file of quiet steps padded down along the tile corridor.Kayla had finally come out from her room.Her stomach had won the war against her fear, but her fingers were still trembling and her chest was still hurting a little too agonizingly. Her maid had pleaded more than once, more desperately with each try and now, with the hunger gnawing at her stomach, she decided to go eat.It was not that she wanted to see him. Indeed, the last thing she wanted was to do that.But if she starved herself to death, nothing will change. That, and she could never really know what kind of punishment Alpha Duiane would have in store for her if she broke his household rules, even starving herself to do so.She walked behind her maid down the hallway, her lips pursed, each step slower than the last. Alpha Duiane was already seated at the distant end of the

chapter 37

Chapter 37Lessie's POVMy mornings started slowly. A slow stretch, a deep breath, a hesitation before the day began, just like an empty canvas I could fill. But ever since that night at the dining, everything seemed to be more outlined. My heart pounds to every little sound to every meeting and to every look as if it was filled with meaning.I never imagined peace would be like this, it felt gentle and calm. The days moved faster than I expected, each of them lugging its feet with an odd stillness inside the royal house. It had been over a week since dinner that evening. Since I saw Alpha Duiane rip the heart from a man's chest as if it was nothing. Since I sat beside him at the table and heard his calculated justification of it.But what shocked me more than the blood or the fear, was how he changed after that night.He was more nicer. Uncomfortably nice.He even smiled once, it was random, off his usual self and it unnerved me.Was it pity? Tactic? Something else? I asked

chapter 38

Chapter 38Lessie's POVI slammed the door close behind me as soon as I saw what I'd walked into.My hands flew up to my face. "Oh..Moon Goddess! Cover yourself up!"From across the room, Alpha Duiane's deep voice was unacceptably calm. "You walked in here. Without knocking."I kept my face turned toward the door, my eyes closed tightly. "I came in here because it's an emergency!"He didn’t say anything for a moment. Then I heard a sigh. "You can turn around now." He said. I turned slowly to face him, my hand still covering my face, just in case. Fortunately, he'd wrapped a black robe around his body to cover himself. He didn’t look embarrassed that I had walked in on him, though. If anything, he looked pleased with what I had seen.I tried not to look at him. My heart was racing for the wrong reasons. Or the right reasons. I couldn't tell anymore."Are you okay?" he asked, walking towards his bed and sitting on the side of his bed."No, I’m not fine” I said, pulling out the fo

chapter 39

Chapter 39Lessie's POVI stopped in my tracks as I heard him call out my name. Has he been waiting for me?I walked towards him. "Were you waiting for me?" I askedHe leaned against the railing. "Yeah. I thought you’d get here earlier.""I was here early," I said, "but I forgot something, so I went back home to get it."I gave him a side-eye. "And have you been stalking me?" I asked. "Guilty," he grinned. "But not like, stalker-wannabe. You're my friend, Kayla. When something's not right, I see it."I nodded, having no idea how to respond to what he said.As we both walked across the central courtyard to our respective classes, I felt it, a chill down the nape of my neck.I instinctively looked around and saw Lena. But she was way at the far end of the courtyard, across from the doors of the east wing, surrounded by two of her ever-present friends. Her eyes were on me. No, they were both on Trent and me. Her face was cold and it looked like she could murder someone.I blinked.D

chapter 40

Chapter 40Lessie's POVThe atmosphere between Trent and me after that heart to heart conversation, left me feeling like there was still something unspoken between us. His words kept lingering in my head? "She's not my mate but I care about her."I did not wish to ask him additional questions or dig deeper to find out who the person was. I could already sense where he was going with the conversation and it was somewhere I did not wish to go. "I should go back to class," I said to him, cutting off whatever it was that was going on in our heads. "I don't want to be late for class again."Trent nodded and grinned softly at. "Sure, I should go to mine too. See you later?" he asked."Yeah," I said, giving him a small smile before I left. I walked quickly, not just because I did not want to be late, but because my head was spinning . I liked Trent. He has always been a friend since I got here. But the idea that he had secret feelings for someone he could never have? That twis
