All Chapters of The Heiress Torn Between Worlds : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ellia POVThe sharp sound of my alarm dragged me out of sleep.I groaned and slapped a hand across my nightstand until my fingers found my phone.7:30 a.m.That was far too early for any human being to be awake.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. "Five more minutes won’t hurt anyone, right…," I muttered.My phone immediately buzzed before I could shut my eyes—I instinctively reached my phone and glanced at the message.Lena: Get up.Of course it’s her…Lena: I know you're awake. You can’t be late in your first day of the new semester That I couldn’t argue…being late on first day was…let’s say not advisable.I managed to type a message despite the sleep in my eyes. You're a terrible friend.Lena: Yet somehow your only friend.Me: Ouch.Lena: the truth hurts girl.I guess it did….I dragged myself out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.Twenty-five minutes later, I was rushing downstairs with a piece of toast hanging from my mouth.Aunt Hilda sat by the diner, then

Ellia POV“You’re mother…Catherine Estrada…was a multi billionaire.”My heart stopped instantly—Catherine Estrada…The most famous female philanthropist ever known…The woman who single handedly made the female gender credible business owners and C.E.O, and did that before turning 25z That was my mother? Me?!No… this had to be a joke. It had to be!The room was silent now, the air so heavy and dense that you could cut it with a knife. I stared at her, maybe waiting or the punchline…but there wasn’t one.“You’re joking, right? Aunt Hilda…?”She shook her head, then dropped her eyes to the floor. “I wish I was.”I pushed back from the table at once and stood up sharply.“No.”I started pacing around the room…my mind felt like it was tearing into two right now.“No, no, no.”This couldn’t be real.Nothing about this made sense.“If Mom was a billionaire, why did we live like this?”I turned to her again. “Why did you struggle to pay bills sometimes?”“Why did we never—”“Because it w

Ellia POV“Mate!”The word echoed in my head like a curse as the God like figure stepped into the room.He felt it too…I saw it. The tension coursing through him—But what the hell was it?“Ellia..” the voice of Selene seemed to drag me right out of the haze I was in…I snapped my head to her at once and he continued. “Please, meet Acting Alpha Cassien Kristof..”Acting Alpha?So he was the one at the head in this kingdom?My eyes slowly turned to him again..this time, that coldness in his gaze had returned again.Then he stepped foward..his aura radiating off him. Then his eyes locked directly on me again. “You’ve been summoned!”The words hit me like a tidal wave.Summoned?I didn’t agree to this..but it sounded like I didn’t have a choice so here I was..outside the room, just a few feet’s behind Alpha Cassien.That feeling I had when we first locked eyes..what was it? We both felt it so…why didn’t he say anything?“Erm..” I cleared my throat. “Alpha Cassien, can I ask a question?

Cassien POVI have seen friends slaughtered right in front of my eyes.. people burned alive.Before I was Alpha I was the lead ranked warrior…so I had seen my fair share of things.I have also seen the Blood River reject false heirs, melting flesh from bone until nothing remained..But what I saw today.. I had never seen before.The river…it bowed for her. It obeyed her?!The entire yard exploded into chaos the moment Ellia collapsed.Loud voices came from all sides, shouting, screaming…demanding answers no one had.Impossible.Fraud.Dark magic.Prophecy.I heard every word and none of them.My gaze remained fixed on the river and that golden light oozing from it.What had I just seen? The Blood River had acknowledged her.No.Even using acknowledged sounded tp weak compared to what I just saw…It had submitted.That had never happened, not in any record.Not to the greatest Alphas to ever live, even her own father.My wolf continued to pace around violently inside me.It had been r

Ellia POVThe moment Cassien pushed us to the floor—chaos ensued. Bullets broke through the glass window, bartering vases, chairs, everythung in sight.“What’s happening?!” My voice tore out from my lungs. Gunfire?!Here?!I turned to Aunt Hilda, tears rolling down her eyes as well. She was muttering something to herself.“T-they know already..”she wrapped hee arms around her chest, her pupils dilated.“We’re too late..”Her skin had turned pale…like she had seen death itself.“Aunt Hilda..you’re scaring me..”The gunfire ceased for a couple seconds. And then, the second I let myself feel we were out of the danger zone. The bullets resumed again. “Enough of this..” Cassien growled beside me. His voice had changed entirely, becoming deeper.Then I saw his eyes turned into a pure gold color—then limp by limp, joint by joint…his body disfigured and then refigured.Standing in front of us now… wasnt just a werewolf. It was an Alpha wolf.“Arghh!!” His roar shook the walls of the house.
