"Candice, as much as I hate to do this to you, but I must remind you this is real life. Not everyone is lucky to be mated to a king. As an omega wolf, I must find my own path and create a future for myself," Everette's voice was cold as it floated to her ears."But you were my friend, I took you as my sister. You meant so much to me," her bottom lip shook from the sting of her betrayal."And what good did your empathy do for me? Did you really think I would settle for the life of a seamstress when I could live the life of a queen and enjoy all that you enjoy?" She let out another string of laughter. "That mate of yours was able to take you for a fool because of your naive approach to life. Just because you are good, it does not mean life would be nice to you too."The words struck her like lightning, the dart of an arrow, as painful as it was piercing. So, she too thought her to be a fool. And one deserving of manipulation and deceit because of her lenient nature.Tears clouded her vi

Candice was surprised at her reflexes.Adrenaline had kicked in and she felt a power and boldness like never before as she threw Everette behind and assumed a defensive posture in front.Her eyes moved from one male to another, taking in their features. One male had a scar that ran over his left eye, he was dressed in simple jeans and a black polo. The other three were dressed in like fashion with him. Looking quite simple, but intimidating with an undertone of trouble."What do you want? Why have you come after us?" She demanded, surprising herself yet again with her bold stance. Even though her heart raced with fear and her legs trembled."The human girl, here and in the flesh," the male with the scar mused wistfully to himself, unperturbed by her defensive posture. He went on "I had my doubts about you, but you managed to accomplish the mission."She frowned, what mission? Who was he even talking to?"Will you continue to hide like a mouse or will you finally show yourself?" He spo

Candice looked around as she walked.The place was teeming with trees.Tall, long trees with outstretched branches formed an umbrella covering above, obscuring the night sky and casting eerie shadows over the path.Blades of grass sliced across her legs as Everette hurried her along.She had no idea where they were, but Everette assured her that they were on Misty plane, the land of the phantoms.Though it did not have mists swirling around as it did during her last visit. However, Everette told her they were on the outskirts of the plane. Once they entered the city, the mists would be seen.Well, all she really cared about was getting to Sabine's place before Wayne noticed her absence and came after them. And come he will, for she was still his mate and was the medium for his kids to come into the world.Medium.The word made bile rise in her throat. To him, she was just an object, a means to an end. While her heart had skipped severally, just by looking at him, he had been secretly

If he was blind before, now he could see.And he knew had fucked up.She made his father's dreams come true."Did Candice attend the assembly alone in my absence?" he asked softly."Yes sire, she did. She besieged me non-stop to release some gold, which she used for the purchase of some strange chairs from another realm, and took them along with her to the assembly," Earnest replied.A chair?The council gave their approval because if a chair?He had no idea how she had been able to accomplish what his father tried to do during his reign and failed. Even himself, one of the most feared kings in history, had a hard time bending those elders to his will.Yet, an average human girl with no special abilities and no superpower was able to do it in a very diplomatic and seamless way, without violence or bloodshed.She was a special one.While he had been sulking in his room and feeling dejected, she had been thinking of how to ease his burden. To make his work lighter, to cover up his short

Wayne swayed on his feet, feeling dazed.Everette was the traitor all along and he had failed to recognize it.She was a two-faced pretender.Acting so harmless and weak, meanwhile, she was a cunning, evil mastermind.It was no surprise he had not liked her, something always felt off to him about her. Twice he had wanted to end her, but for Candice's sake, he spared her life.Because of her, he suspected his subjects and almost killed one of his loyal sentinels.Such a camouflaging, vicious mole.Now that he thought about it, she started her service to his house around the same time Candice was brought here. Carefully weaving her way into his home, to be next to her target."How is Everette able to work here? Who posted her here?" he demanded from Earnest."She came highly recommended my lord, with a referral letter from one of the royals," Earnest stated.She clearly must have bribed her way in here. Given the right price, any one of those spoilt young royal brats would write a perfe

It was 7 a.m. the next morning.Wayne sat on his bed.He was unable to get a wink of sleep throughout last night.Rojan had stayed with him until the wee hours of the morning before he had retired to one of the spare rooms to sleep. Today, he would return to his own home in the city, freshen up before reporting back.They had stayed together not sharing much, but taking comfort in each other's company.After a while, Rojan had wanted to see Candice to tell her about Bernice's detour at Sabine's, but at that moment they heard Candice announce to the entire house in a loud voice that she was going into the city for some relaxation.Jason had immediately opted to go with her, but she refused that it was girls night out and she wanted to enjoy only female company.He did not like that she was going unescorted, nevertheless, he did not interfere. After all, he had been hiding away from her like a spoiled teenager who was undergoing puberty and throwing tantrums.No matter how he looked at
