Elena’s POV I barely got any sleep last night, it was a miracle that Lukas didn’t catch me and it is all things to Bianca. But I know this is not the end of it. I must go back and continue to search, I just can’t give up like this. However, my determination does nothing to quell the fear in my heart. Every time I close my eyes, I hear it again, that little click of the doorknob turning and I see his image standing on the other side, about to catch me right handed. The thought of almost being caught by that man deeply unsettles me. I exhale deeply as I stare at myself in the mirror, watching as Shanna is brushing my hair in gentle strokes. I notice Bianca is off to the side looking unusually calm this morning, perhaps she is still a bit shaken from almost being caught also. Even if I had escaped having my head on a spike, the same can't be said for her and that is why I rejected her request of wanting to join me. Even though she had insisted, and I promised to do it, I won’t

Elena’s POVThe yard of the palace buzzes with activity. Servants roll out long ceremonial carpets, florists arrange only the best flowers in the pack in a most eye-catching manner and cooks rush in and out of the kitchen with trays of the ingredients.It’s the Alpha King’s 50th birthday in a few days.Prior to this, I’ve never really heard about his birthday celebration before. Most likely because commoners and omegas were never really allowed in for the celebration.However, now I’m in charge of that very celebration, making sure everything is arranged to perfection for the big day.I stand in the center of all the chaos, directing and checking every single detail.If there’s one suspicion I’ve come to settle on, it is that the alpha King is the worst version of the alpha himself. So it means if there’s any nonsense Lukas doesn’t take, his father must definitely be repulsed by it… although the man didn’t show this, at least not to me.I won’t lie, I was a bit surprised when Lukas a

Elena’s POV“Oh, your highness. Finally, he just left.” Bianca says to me excitedly.“Are you serious?” She nods. “Yes, our wait has finally paid off.”“Oh great, thank goodness. I was already so scared that he wouldn’t leave tonight.”Silence.“Your highness, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, what if he comes back unexpectedly? We don’t even know where he’s going.” She cries.“Bianca, it’s not too late to turn back now. I mean it.”“I’m not saying this for myself, your highness. I said I will accompany you on this mission and I meant my words. However, it is still my duty to warn you of the risks involved.”“Risks that I am already aware of, Bianca. Nevertheless, I must do this. I have to. I mean, I have to try something, I can’t just sit here and let such a destruction take place.”I hold her hand gently.“But you… You don’t have to be here.”She sighs.“I know you want to get rid of me, your highness, but you can’t. I do have to be here. I have friends and family who were

Lukas POV“I swear it, your highness. I was only taking a walk.”My jaw tightens as I try not to give out too much so she doesn’t get the wrong idea. “Walking? Late into the night like this?”She nods. “Yes, your highness. Couldn’t catch any sleep.”I hum softly, not an agreement though. “The grounds are very large. Easy to get lost if you don’t know your way around.”I blurt out before I can’t even hold myself back.Get a grip, Lukas. You are the alpha here, what is wrong with you?”She flicks me a quick glance, lasting for nothing more than a second. “I stayed near the inner paths.”“Hmm. I see.”I take a step closer. Slow. Casual.“And your attendants, how many of them accompanied you on this walk of yours?”She looks away hurriedly, confirming to me that she is hiding something.“None of them, your highness. I needed a long time so I went alone.”“Alone?” I repeat, letting it be known that I don’t believe a word coming out of her mouth.She stiffens, barely, but I catch it.“Yes

Damien’s POVI stand at the top of the mountain, my mind going over all the options I have to take to protect all the people.If we stay put in our spot, who knows how long it will take before we are found out and ambushed. But if we move forward, who’s to say we won’t come back across those we are running from on the way. I’m so confused and genuinely lacking the knowledge of the next step to take.As if that isn’t enough to deal with, my mind suddenly drifted back to that girl.The one from the party. I still have no news about her because Vale hasn’t been able to find anything but neither the lack of knowledge nor time has done anything to help window the pull I was having.The very one I had that day.I try to convince myself that my thoughts are as a result of the hopeful idea Vale had put in my head about having her as an insider but deep down, I know it is more than that.I mean, when Vale got up this morning we talk about finally going to do a proper research on her, I could
