Semua Bab The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Veldena’s POVMy initial plan was not to sing until Leila got better, and the reason was because I did not want to leave her side at all or when I wasn’t there I would get news that she had woken up. I wanted to be there when that happened so I had stuck with that until ‘singing’ happened by accident. Would I even call it an accident? It was a sunny afternoon that Sunday when Eldric had made sure I left the hospital to go get “fresh air and have my skin tan by the sun” as he said.After walking around for a while, I found myself standing near a small cafe by the road along Dalia corner. I knew the owner but we were not really close though I used to frequent this place a lot with Freya and Leila before she got admitted. The owner was a really kind and soft woman, Shayla, she was in her early forties but she looked younger than her age. She would usually let me sit by the window of her cafe even when I was not going to get anything, she would let me stay there for hours after hospital

Author’s POVDays had gone by since the event at the community hall, Veldena had not gotten any recent gigs due to the fact that she had been replaced by someone else for the old gigs she had but that wasn't an issue for her. She used those days in and out of the hospital, she seemed a little bit better now and more optimistic. She took care of herself more now, looked more alive.Freya came by that weekend to see both of them, when she got to the room. She came with news, “Hello,” she said as she came in with plates of food.She placed them on the table and came to hug Vel, they had not spoken since that alert.“How are you doing?” Vel asked her“I'm good, you?“Still alive,” she responded. “I should have texted you back since but I was busy, how do you mean that 80k was my pay for a night?”Freya sat on the bed close to Leila’s leg, “I think we should just go to the cafeteria, instead of staying here.” With that the both of them took the food and went to the hospital’s canteen. Th

Veldena's POVThe days after the fundraising event went by really slowly, I was at the apartment this morning. It was just 7 but it was really sunny already. I had spent the previous days at the hospital but I decided that I would stay at home to work on making new songs.I sat on the floor, with a cup of coffee in front of me and my journal on my lap with a pen in my hand. I hummed music and wrote down the lyrics, that was what I did for a while before my phone rang somewhere on my bed.I frowned because it had interrupted the flow. I checked for the phone on the bed for a while before I finally found it. Caller ID; FREYA CALLING“Hey, Freya? Why are you calling me so early?” I asked, trying not to sound upset.“Chill angry bird it's not like you were sleeping or something,” she said “But I was making a new song, you've disrupted the flow.” I told her back pouting, not like she could me.“Sorry sorry,” she said jokingly, “I have something to discuss with you. But first off don't pa

Author’s POVShe still sat down backstage, and she could feel her hands trembling. She slightly adjusted her left earrings and tried to steady her breathing. She remembered Freya and what she always said to her, “You should not sing because of what people will say but more of how you feel.”She got what Freya meant, but then if she was to sing with how she was feeling right now it'd be a disaster. The stage assistant peeked in, “Miss Veldena, you're up next.” She stood up, straightened her gown, and walked towards the curtains. When she got up on the stage it was dark, the crowd could barely see her, but she could see everyone in the crowd, and then she saw Freya. She was at the far end of the hall standing with Eldric now.The mic stood in front of Veldena, it was tall and she tried to hold it but she felt how sweaty her palms were. She swallowed her spit hard and tried to steady her breathing. Then she heard, “Ready, when you are.” It was what the pianist on her left said.She

Author’s POVFreya tapped Veldena playfully when she finally opened her eyes, then she turned back to give Hailey a piece of her mind. But Hailey was no longer there, “Good, you had better run.” she said, “I would have beaten the hell out of her had she stayed.” she said facing me.“Leave her, I get why she is pissed,” Veldena told her and that earned her a stern look.“Now don’t get me angry with that statement.” She said, wiping her friends clean with the towel“I should have just worn the swimsuit you offered me,” Veldena said, looking at her gown. “Now my gown is wet.”“True, also we say thankful prayers to the goddess that I had paid for it instead.”“You bought it??” Vel asked, she was looking surprised because Freya had told her she borrowed it.“That’s besides the point.” Freya said, helping her up. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”***Hailey walked away from the pool hurriedly and it was not because she was scared. It was mostly because she was satisfied with what she had done.Sh
