The next day, Allegra pretended to still be traumatized from the cliff ordeal and refused to come out of her room, surprisingly Seviun did not let anyone disturb her except to bring meals at intervals. In her room, she plotted her escape.
She had no classes today so there was more than enough time for her to map out a plan. Although, the more she thought on escaping, the sooner she realized that is more likely a wish that may never come through rather than a possibility. At this realization, she became downcast once again, the gloominess of her entire situation washing over her.
Seviun's kindness didn't last for long however as she had to return back to her duties that evening.

"Allegra, hey" Laura said as she walked up to Allegra, who was sat in the student's common area catching up on her notes.
"Hi" Allegra replied looking up to her friend, temporarily leaving her school work. "What's up?"
"What's up? I haven't seen you in days, after that day the Alpha King carried you away as though he was taking you to some dungeon, and all you can say is 'what's up?'?" Laura shook her head at her friend.
Bending to take a seat next to her, Laura looked at her with concern, her face becoming more serious as she asked, "Really, how are you, Allegra?"
"Did the Alpha King do anything to you? Like something bad? He looked pretty terrifying that day" Laura shuddered as she remembered the way Seviun had looked.
"Not really," Allegra replied, "I mean, other than take me to the edge of One-way cliff and threaten to throw me down, he didn't do anything" Allegra shrugged
Laura's eyes went wide with shock, "He did what?!"
"He took me to the edge of One-way cliff and threaten to throw me down" Allegra said like it was no big deal, like she wasn't terrified to an inch of her life.
"That is so horrible! I can't believe he would do something like that!" Laura look truly horrified
"Really? You don't believe that the beast we have as Alpha King would do something like that? A werewolf alpha who has no care for humans? Then I wonder what you would believe he would do" Allegra was being sarcastic causing Laura to nudge her slightly.
"Honestly, I was half expecting to heart that he took you home, you guys got into some heated argument and them had some hot angry sex, you know, finally losing the V card" Laura said with a wink.
"Ew! Gross! You are so disgusting, you just made me lose my appetite, I doubt I would be able to stomach anything for the rest of the day. Gross, Laura!" Allegra gagged as the picture Laura's words created entered her mind again.
"What?" Laura laughed. "I even pictured he went at it so hard you weren't able to walk for days, hence the absence from school" the look of disgust Allegra gave her caused her to bust out laughing again.
"Ew"
"Come on, I mean, he does look like the type that would be rough and good in bed, all that anger and tension put to good use"
"Laura, stop talking" Allegra warned
"Oh, but don't you imagine it sometimes, what he would be like." Laura continued saying and Allegra got up threatening to leave. "Alright, sorry, sorry, I will stop" she laughed as she drew Allegra by her sleeves to sit back down.
"Well, since you are alright, would you be free this weekend, Chester is throwing a party, Ryan and Katie would be there as well" Laura said, finally extending the invitation she had been meaning to all along.
"I cannot go for parties, not from the Royal Villa" Allegra said, though she would like to go for the party. Chester does throw really great parties, and it has been long since she last went out with her friends – or at all really.
