บททั้งหมดของ FATED TO THE ALPHA'S SHADOW: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

I stroll through the courtyard, Bianca trailing slowly behind me. Good that she is behind me because I know if she sees the smile spread wide on my face, she’s going to have a lot of questions for me.Questions that I don’t have holy or acceptable answers for.My mind keeps thinking back to last night and all the despicable things I did with him. Another smile stretches across my face.Then it happens. My steps falter, breathe pausing mid air as unexplainable pressure builds behind my eyes. All of a sudden, the world seems to sharpen as if there has been a blur over it. The air around me feels charged and heavy.I almost stumble when I feel a pair of hands around me. Bianca’s hands.“Your highness, are you okay?” She asks, holding a title to make sure I don’t fall.I don’t answer because I’m still in a haze to figure out what is going on. To figure out if I’m okay or if this should call for an alarm.After a moment, the feeling leaves me, making me feel much lighter. “Yeah, I thin

Elena’s POVThroughout the day, I keep thinking about the nightmares I’ve been having in the last few days.All showing the same thing. A man standing under the blood moon with his sword in his hand in front of me as if he’s coming to get me.It worries me that a dream like that keeps repeating itself but there’s really nothing much I can do. Throughout the day I try to do and think about only possessive things hoping it will help my mind when I finally fall to slumber. But as I lay on my bed to catch some sleep, I can’t help thinking the same thing is about to repeat itself.And unfortunately, it turns out that I’m not wrong.One moment I’m awake and dreading what I believe is about to come and in the next moment, I am already deep into the dream experiencing the very thing I had prayed against.I am standing barefoot on a cold stone, my body is showing the result of the chills with small bumps.Grey smoke clings to the air, thick and suffocating. And as usual, above me is the blood

I find myself wanting to go to her room, but I can’t. I just can’t bear to face and lie to her about the dream she had.After all, I know exactly what it is about. She’s slowly learning the truth about everything my father did to her family so how can I stand in front of her and act like all is well when in reality, nothing is well.But even though I find it difficult to go into her room, I stand at the end of the hallway leading to her wing, just staring straight at her door.I sigh, about to turn and leave when I sight something…someone unexpected.Elena. She stood by the large window of the hallway, looking as though she was in a deep thought.For a second, I almost burst into laughter because all these while, I was standing a few meters away from her door, staring at it as if she were inside not knowing she was actually outside and closer than I thought.I let my eyes run over her watching as she hugs herself, as if she were her only comfort.It twisted something in my heart.If

Elena’s POV“Your highness, do you need anything else?” Shanna asks.“No, I’m fine. Also tell Bianca not to bother her coming in, I’m really tired and just need to retire for the night.”She bows before leaving the room.In the quietness of my alone time, my mind goes back to the failure of the library trip.Contrary to what I was hoping for, I found absolutely nothing.There was not even a ripped page in any of the books that housed the tales of the past.It was clear that nothing worth mentioning that happened in the past but instead of making me feel calm, this only made me feel more restless.There was nothing so serious that happened in the past, then why was I having the same damning dream almost every night.A dream that seems like it’s trying to pass a message to me.Why am I having?And as if the library failure wasn’t bad enough, the meeting with Lukas also didn’t pan out the way I wanted as he claimed to be too preoccupied with work, pushing the meeting till further notice.

Lukas’s POVI watch us. She walks out of the infirmary, still plagued with the image of the smile on her lips.Since she left before me, I don’t even see the reason to leave immediately anymore. After all, I was only lying when I said I still had more work to do.I decide to use the opportunity to check on my men who were involved in one or two brutality during their fight with the shadows.I walk up to one of them, running my eyes over him and strangely, I notice something unexpected.The physician is beside him and the moment she sees me, she rises to her feet, bowing before me immediately.“Your highness, welcome,”I say nothing, just not in response, eyes still fixed on the warrior laying on the bed.“How are you feeling?” I finally ask.He tries to get up and bow, but I tell him to sit still. “You don’t have to pay your greetings now, you can do that later. Just tell me how you’re feeling.”“Oh thank you, your highness. Well, I’m feeling much better. It’s so sudden, it just came
