“I had informed Alpha all about the May Day festival,” Nia whispered from the corner of her mouth, “he had mentioned that he will attend it but you really need to rush to his room now to help him.” I looked outside the kitchen window. Blue, pink hue had already covered the sky as the evening approached and the sun went down. Everyone was ready and excited for the May Day Event. I went to Alpha’s room, walked inside through the open door and closed it behind me. Alpha Alessio was already dressed up, to my surprise. “Alpha? Do you need any help?” I asked out of courtesy. He turned to face me. He was wearing casual clothes surprisingly. A black high collar t shirt with its sleeves scrunched up at his forearms, black jeans, a navy blue jacket on his arm that I suppose he was planning to wear over the t shirt. The dark colour was complimenting his skin and the hairstyle. Looking at him dressed like this, it was no wonder that so many girls could not stop talking about him. His gaze roa
A smile appeared on my lips as he placed the tiara carefully on my head, my heart almost stopping as I felt his touch on my ears. He moved closer to me, his head tilting slightly as he stared at me with a look of wonder on his face. I felt my own cheeks heat up, feeling slightly embarrassed as I stared at his lips, unable to look away. He brought his hand up and gently caressed my cheek, causing my heart to flutter and my breath to hitch in my throat. He slowly brought his other hand up, the one that was holding the tiara, and gently caressed my cheek as well, sending shivers down my spine. I felt a warmness inside me that I had never felt before for anyone. He brought me a tiara to make sure I don’t feel bad for not getting picked for the moon goddess image. I knew he had not found it lying around. It was impossible with the crowd that was surrounding us. My gaze went to his hands that lowered again on his sides, noticing a few small dots of blood appearing on his skin, most probab
Liam’s eyes slid from the top of my head to the sandals I wore and then back up to come rest on the things in my hands. His jaw clenched tight, his gaze slid up to meet mine. He did not say anything, but his anger was apparent with the way he stared at me. Alssio stayed beside me, his body stiff. The joyful look and aura had long disappeared replaced with unpleasant expressions. “Come with me.” Liam extended his hand in my direction, palm open. Alessio’s already stiff body went stock still. He turned his face in my direction, his face set in disapproval. “Mia?” Liam’s voice snatched my attention again. As I looked at him, the anger in his gaze had gotten mixed with a look of desperation, “I know you are upset. But for the sake of our years long friendship, can’t you give me a chance to even have a chat with you?” Alessio was still staring at me. He was quiet but I could literally see in his eyes that he did not want me to go. But when I looked at Liam, I could see the pain in his
I could feel eyes on me when I walked to school. Boys kept on turning around to look at me when I walked past them. A while later it had almost turned spooky. With my hands clenched on my arms, I hastily walked inside the classroom to take a seat. Thankfully, I had started to understand the subjects and topics so the classes became easier. Maths was still hard, but at least I was not lagging behind too much. As the class almost came to an end, the teacher announced, “There will be a group project now. Four people in each group. You need to create a creative model of our ongoing chapter.” The teacher started to pair up people according to students in each row. When it was my turn to stand up to form a group, I turned kind of shaky, worrying if anyone would even want to pair up with me or not as I was perhaps the weakest student in the classroom. “Mia’s group. If you want to be paired up with her, please raise your hands.” Unexpectedly several hands lifted up in the air, all of th
Another guard had rushed to stand next to Liam. Both of them grabbed Liam’s arms to drag him away. I could see the look of determination and hatred set in Liam’s eyes for Alessio. I knew he was about to do something disastrous. From what I had heard so far, one thing was clear that he already had a plan to throw Alessio off his seat. I was not sure how he was going to do that, but there was nothing impossible when there is a will. He took down a monster like Alpha Wyatt. He could take down Alessio as well. Should I tell Alessio about what Liam was about to do? As someone Liam had put a blind faith in, the guilt of betrayal would crush me. How can you betray your friend that you have known your whole life for someone that you only saw a few weeks ago? How can you let go of a relationship that you have been tied to your whole life for someone else who does not even care about you? I was in conflict. On one side it was Liam, on the other it was something that I should do for the sake
With a thudding heart, I paced back and forth in the corridor. I was scared. Terrified, in fact. I could not stop thinking about what Liam had said. I knew he was about to do something disastrous. He was going to harm Alessio. And I did not want him to harm Alessio, not because he was my ex-mate and my feelings for him still kept on rising, but because I genuinely thought he had not done something to deserve getting killed. Behind those snide remarks, smirks, taunts and comments, he did not take advantage of our weakness. He did snatch the alpha position from us after coming here, but his power was enough to kick us out of the pack immediately. After all, who would want to keep the traitors in the pack? No alpha would ever let a constant danger live in his pack, but Alessio gave us a second chance. Hell, he even let Liam keep his beta position. I did not want Alessio to get hurt. I also did not want Liam to get hurt but his mindset is already fixed and is not going to change, no matt
The guards followed Alessio’s command. Grabbing Liam by his arms, they dragged him out of the room after snatching the weapon out of his hand. He did not put up a fight nor say a word. It was like I had ripped his soul out of him. They were out of the door, and as soon as the door shut behind them, a heavy breath left my lips as I fell forward, clutching my head with my hands, my whole body shaking. I knew I would feel bad for doing this to him, but I had not realised the extent of it until this very moment. I just betrayed my childhood best friend. My heart was in pain, my eyes trying to push back the tears that threatened to fall. I had to clench my eyes shut tightly to keep the tears from falling. The look in his eyes was haunting me. He trusted me blindly. I had betrayed his trust. He must think I am the most worthless, worst person to ever come in his life. He must be cursing me. He must be cursing himself for ever putting his trust in me. I remained the same way for several mi
“Sorry.” Daniel muttered and turned around, immediately walking out of the room. The door was left open behind him. My breathing was still uneven and fast, my lips and my waist tingling where Alessio’s touch had been on me. My face was turning red as a blush covered my cheeks, making my face burn. “I- I will see you later.” I managed to mutter, surprised that voice even managed to come out of my mouth and immediately scrambled out of the bed to get off. Barefeet, I rushed out of the room, closing the door behind myself. I could not even look at his face because of shyness. My feet did not stop running until I was nearly close to the dungeon. Rushing inside the washroom, I closed the door behind myself and gripped the edge of the basin, closing my eyes. I glanced up in the mirror, my cheeks were completely red. Once I had gained back the senses and the hotness on my cheeks started to fade, I walked out of the washroom and went inside the dungeon to get some sleep. Throughout the nig
