Once In The Dust 14 In the middle of It
Christopher When we started training, I looked out for Luis, but he was nowhere. I was worried. Not knowing where he was bothered me. I did not want him touching my mate. Since what transpired between Willow and me in the woods, I have been determined to make it work, which was why I slept in the office last night. Somehow I knew she would feel it if I touched Aida. The bond between us had fully repaired, and for that alone, I could not put her through pain, so I stayed away from Aida and hoped to find a way to end my marriage without causing issues with the werewolf king. People shouldn't have to lose their lives because I want to be with my fated. I knew there would be a better way and intended to find that way. I finally saw Luis coming from the garden. "Proposed?" Mark asked him, and he shook his head. "Not yet," he said and looked at me. I wondered why Willow did not end it with him. Was she afraid of doing it? I knew it was cowardly for me to ask her to do it. I guess I will
Once In The Dust 15 And I Knew I Was In Trouble.
Willow. I had a mental meltdown in the early hours of the morning, and I did not know when I found my way to Luis's room. It shouldn't hurt. I shouldn't feel affected by Aida's pregnancy, but I was. I knew it wasn't Christopher's baby, but I was affected by it. The pregnancy thing came up earlier than in the past. I guess certain things had shifted. What baffled me was that I was yet to catch Aida and Mark together. I needed to catch them to know how I could expose them. I began to fear I might fail. I did not understand why I was overwhelmed with fear, but I was. "We wanted to spend time with him yesterday," Raya said with sadness, and I could understand. Even though I knew what was about to happen, I wanted to spend time with him. I knocked on Luis's door, and he answered. He was shirtless and sleepy. I must have woken him from his sleep. I shouldn't have come, but I wasn't thinking. I turned to leave. "Willow," he said with concern, and I began to cry. I needed an outlet. When it
Once In The Dust 16 When He Sees For Himself
Willow, Christopher's shock was obvious. I wasn't supposed to be there. I knew Aida had sprung this on him. Unfortunately, I dared not say no. I needed to find a way to survive the event without an episode. "What are you doing here?" Christopher asked me, while my head was still bowed. I looked up to answer him. "Princess Aida put me in charge of her diet and tea," I said aloud, and Christopher looked at her. From his eyes, he knew she was up to no good. I served Aida the tea and went further to serve the king and everyone else. "She is a healer and not a servant," Christopher cautioned Aida after I served them and stood at the corner to await the next order. "Your fated that became a servant, and then a healer should serve us when I request it," She said, and the king looked at me with a tinge of rage, but lust overshadowed it. I guess he had a thing for pretty girls. "She rejected me, and I accepted. You were there; what is the matter with you, Aida?" Christopher asked her. "
Once In The Dust 17 He Would Not Betray Me.
Christopher. Willow got me all worked up. Knowing that she knew I was watching while she touched herself made me feel naughty. I enjoyed the view and had to work on myself every time I left her window. I honestly wished things had happened differently between us. My heart has never beat for anyone the way it beat for her. She was perfect. I knew King Aaron wanted her for himself, and I felt it was low of him to ask me to give her to him as tribute. He wanted my army, my strength, and now my woman. The man had made himself the bane of my life. As I walked back towards the Packhouse, I wondered what was special about the two people fucking in the deserted section of the service quarters that made Willow ask me to join her there. Somehow, I felt she knew who the people were and wanted me to see for myself. Willow wasn't a stupid girl, nor was she spontaneous. She was angling at something. I wanted to go but could not excuse myself when Aaron was there. It would be disrespectful of me. "
Once In The Dust 18 He was a traitor.
Willow. I returned to my bedroom after eating a hearty meal at the restaurant in town. I lay on my bed, wondering what would happen next. The fire in Christopher's eyes let me know he was still mine. I hoped he could let go when my time was up. I had one goal: to expose Aida and save his life. I planned on focussing on it with all my might. "Tomorrow, we will eavesdrop on Aida's plan in her office," Willow said. That was the first place I learned what she was really planning. I had eavesdropped on her conversation with her father's envoy. That conversation motivated me to try harder to expose her. I needed to be wise and careful this time. To avoid making my eavesdropping suspicious, I will make a Parfait for her as a peace token. I knew exactly what to say and do, and I planned on manipulating her the way she manipulated the pack members and Christorpher against me. After planning our move for the next day, I decided to sleep. I woke up in the morning and dressed nice. I missed hea
Once In The Dust 19 It better be good
Willow. I hurried back to my room. What the king confirmed about Mark scared me because it seemed he was a bigger enemy than Aida. It was possible Aida did not poison Christopher in the past life, but after hearing what I had just heard, I could not say the same for Mark. How can an Alpha have such a Beta? It is a miracle that the Rain Pack is still standing. I sat on my bed feeling like a nosy neighbour. So far, I have hidden in three closets to do my job. I hid in my locker to catch Ingrid; in the broom closet to confirm that Mark and Aida were screwing, and now I hid in the broom's closet again to eavesdrop. I just hoped my lurking around and hiding in places won't get me in trouble because it was suspicious behaviour. I wouldn't trust me if I found out I was lurking about the place. Fate really played a huge joke on me. They gave me good hearing and vision but sent me back with selective memory and half a wolf. I was an Alpha, and now, I couldn't even pass for an Omega. I didn't
Once In The Dust 20 Lurking In Corners Isn't Appropriate
Willow. We arrived at the restaurant, and I wasn't hungry. I wanted to be away from the pack members to avoid someone watching us. Luis leaned forward on the table and smiled. "So, what is going on?" He asked, relaxed and took a deep breath. "Christopher suspects something is going on between Mark and Aida, but he trusts Mark on the matter," I said, and he raised an eyebrow. "It is important for what I am about to tell you, but first, I will need you to answer some questions," I said, and he laughed. "If I did not know better, I would say King Aaron was right about you being a spy, but since I know your motivation, I am okay with it," he said, and I beamed at him. "At the meeting you went and got poisoned. How were you served?" I asked, and he leaned back in his chair and started to think. The waitress brought us juice as we requested, and I asked for some spring rolls to eat. Finger food was best for the occasion. "We had a banquet, and we ate together. I am concerned why only
Once In The Dust 21 Before It turns Into A Blood Bath.
ONE MONTH LATER Christopher. I was sitting in my office going through some documents when Mark walked in. He sat on the chair and sighed. He had something to discuss with me, and I figured it must be urgent. "Speak up; I don't have all day," I told my Beta, going through the documents of our laws. I wanted to find a way out of the bind with Aida to free myself from King Aaron and his demands. "I do not know how you will take this, but it is about your fated," he said, and I stopped what I was doing to compose myself. "What is with Willow this time?" I asked him, and he sighed. "Some staff members claim she has been snooping about the place. I need you to be careful for security purposes. I know she saved you and Luis's life and is with Luis, but you must be careful. Other than what she told us about herself, we know nothing." Mark said, and I sighed. "So what is it this time?" I asked because he hadn't really said anything that would pique my interest. "We are at odds with the
