Chapter 17

*****Erika's POV*****

"I'm done" I declared as I placed the spoon down on the tray.

I was unable to finish the entire meal, but I ate some, for Melisse's sake.

If father returned and found out that I had not eaten, he would surely blame the poor girl.

"No problem. But you didn't finish the food" She stared at the half eaten bowl of soup and other food she had brought, alongside fruits.

"I'm full" I informed her.

"Are you sure about that, Alpha?"

I cocked a brow. "I'm not a child, Melisse. I should know when I'm full, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I'll be leaving now." She gathered the tray. "You need anything else, Your Highness?"

"Some peace and alone time would do" I told her.

She merely smiled. "It's okay, Your Highness, You'll be fine with time"

"But it you all decided not to give me the time to be fine." I grumbled.

"Sorry about that, Your Highness" She chuckled softly. "The Alpha just wants the best for his daughter."

I nodded. "I guess you're right"

She left and I went back to lying in the same position I'd been in before.

Maybe I should try to get some sleep.

My head was still aching.

I closed my eyes in a bid to catch some sleep but Serenity's face flashed through

my mind and my eyes flew open.

I groaned loudly.

Why was she haunting me now?!

I wasn't even the reason she was in bad shape, she had tried to bring me down by ruining my life.

That knife belonged to her. That crazy, mean Serenity.

It even made me wonder where she had kept the knife that I had been unable to find it.

I sighed and tried to go back to shutting my eyes tightly, wishing for the sleep to
