Ophelia“If I can answer it, I will, but it solely depends on the kind of question you want to ask,” Laura informed.I gave a small nod and murmured, “Have you seen Cassuis? Is he in this pack?” I inquired and she responded with a nod.“If you plan to ask Cassuis thinking that he’s going to tell you something because you plan to gaslight him into talking, proving to you that he’s not scared of your mate, then I’d advise you to abort your plans,” she said, causing me to narrow my eyes.I had no intention of asking Cassuis, but now she has put the idea in my head: “If Cassuis tells me, why would you have a problem with it? I'm not provoked like my friend. You chose not to tell me, but it’s provoking if you don’t want Cassuis to tell me as well,” I said, already getting upset.“I didn’t mean it that way, but I’m only trying to look out for you. I want you to see it like that as well,” she said, but at this point, I was already done listening to whatever she wanted to say.I inhaled deepl

Ophelia.“I don’t hate you and the best thing that you should be getting yourself involved in is rest." Alric leaned closer to me before continuing.“With the amount of reason you've shown me not to trust you, your head should be on the front gate of the pack house by now,” he threatened.My heart instantly froze. "What do you mean? Is…. Did…" I stuttered, trying to start a statement, but all my attempts failed.“Go back to your room, Ophelia. "Your main aim talking to me now might be to get new information for Cassuis and your father." From the start of this sentence to the end, it brought pain to my heart—it felt worse because Alric didn't sound stern. When he spoke, he sounded hurt, giving me the notion that I had to prove my loyalty to him now.“See you around!” He added and left.I couldn’t even stop him. At this point, I felt useless. If I couldn’t talk to my mate or try to influence a decision, what kind of mate does that make me?If he doesn’t even trust me, then why keep me h

OpheliaCedric suddenly burst into laughter, taking my words lightly. “There’s nothing that you can do, and I'm certain that you’re only saying all of this because you want me to be scared.”He paused, looking straight into my eyes like I had some answers for him.Biting my lips hard, I sighed, "Because I’m a woman doesn’t mean that I'm weak and I wouldn’t do most of the things that I said I’d do. If for a moment that's what you think, then it'll be a shame for me to tell you that you’re wrong!” I said, standing upright but it didn’t change anything.“Youre not just a woman,” he smirked, taking a step closer to me."You're a woman who doesn’t even know the kind of power she wields. The only thing you know about yourself is the fact that you're a woman,” he mocked.His first sentence confused me. What the hell did he mean by a woman who doesn’t know the kind of power I yield? I know that sometimes, my body might ache so bad that I start to feel weird, and most times as well, I suddenly

Ophelia"You're strong… and he knows it. He fears that you could be a threat, so he stops himself from doing anything that might make you feel strong and on top of him,” Alric informed.I didn’t want to think too much of myself so I bit my lips and ran my hand through my hair before looking away quickly.“Can we not talk about my family? It’s a really sensitive topic for me and I really hate talking about it." I suggested it, and abd Alric reached for my hand before holding on to it.“Follow me, I want to show you something…” he murmured.The thought of telling him about the maiden instantly crossed my mind, but I shook my head, deciding that there was still time and I'd tell him after my current conversation with him is over.“What do you plan to show me?” I asked before getting to my feet. All he did was flash a smile at me.“Youll see."Since we left the human kingdom, I haven’t seen Alric smile at me. It was normal to always see him frowning, but when he’s with me, I get to see th

Ophelia POV"I think this conversation is becoming too depressing," I murmured and spread my arms wide open for a hug.He leaned closer to me and rest his head on my chest.He held me for over 30 seconds before finally straightening up. "You're right, we should talk about something less depressing," he murmured.With the way he sounded, he didn't want me to leave; he wanted me for himself today. "Don't you have work to do?" I asked and he shook his head."I have decided that the rest of today is going to be dedicated to you. I should spend some quality time with you. At least," He murmured and held my jaw."I know that you're trying to chase me away. I don't want to believe that it's because you're in search of something in this room," he murmured, causing my heart to skip a bit."What can I possibly be in search of? I'm good and I'm not in search of anything," I said, quickly.He gazed at me for longer than 5 seconds before smirking. It was quite obvious that he thought I was lying,
