"There she is! Catch her!" Oh no! They finally found me. My eyes distended. Well, perhaps it was for the better I thought as I could not decide whether to leave Justin or not. "Do not try to act smart lady, just stay where you are because there no point in running away." The man who was approaching me warned. If only he knew how difficult and painful it was for me to move he would not have said that. He grabbed my arm harshly, pushing my Nanna aside and he was about to start dragging me out when I caught his attention.I turned my head to see what was going on and then saw soldiers fighting some one wearing cloak and a mask. The masked man moved smoothly cutting and killing the soldiers with his sword. "Who is that goddamn son of a bitch! Get him right now and kill him." The soldier who was holding my hand yelled but unfortunately, the soldiers had hard time killing the man with the mask on and they all soon fell to the ground. The man holding my wrist pushed me away cau
I woke up feeling sore and heavy. Sleeping on the floor was not the most pleasant thing when one is used to sleeping on luxurious bed. I had never imagined sleeping on a rug let alone on the earth with nothing laid on the ground. It was just so discomforting. I glanced at where Nanna was sleeping, she was still sleeping there. The man... Alvans sat leaning against a tree with eyes closed. Was he asleep? It looked really uncomfortable to be sleeping that way. Yawning, I tried to get up but I almost yelled as a sharp pain stabbed my knee. Sitting back down quickly without making a sound that would attract anyone, I looked at my foot, it had swollen more. "What happened to you Casey?" Alvans was suddenly next to me. Grimacing in pain. "My leg has gotten worse." I said to him, still staring at the leg. He looked at it closely, holding my leg. "I think I need to take you to the doctor." "What happened to my Casey? What is wrong with her?" I heard Nanna's voice, hurr
"Your Highness, I just got the report that the gamma has also been killed." When O'Horan was coming towards me with that darn sullen, I knew he was coming to give me a bad news but wait, did he just say that my gamma has been killed as well. I jumped out of the swing I was sitting on in the garden and gripped the collar of his shirt. "What did you just say?" I yelled. "I am sorry your highness, this is the report I just got. He had gone with the army of soldiers has their lead with the hope that he would bring them back but unfortunately he has also been killed and..." "And what!?" I cut in. I didn't want to listen to the hell anymore. We had lost up to five armies just in a few days, so many soldiers were dead on this search. My heart suddenly became unstable. What could be happening to them? Was Casey doing this to me all by her own? How could she have gotten away from here on her own and even if she had been helped, who could have helped her? I was so sure that all of
I grabbed her neck, after sending the two guards away. She just accused Morgan of treason, I knew Morgan could never do this, she understood my love for Casey, she knew how much I loved her... It was always Imara, Imara had always wanted her out of this castle, and here we were unable to find Casey and she was the only prime suspect. She was pissing me off with her cleverness and I had to just pin her against the wall. "Your Highness, please let go of her... I think she has something to say." O'Horan pleaded for her but I didn't hearken to his plead. Imara was already choking, coughing but the anger that was surging through me didn't let me let go of her. I just wanted her in the comatose, maybe that would be able to keep her quiet for a long period of time. "Your Highness, I don't think acting while angry in this situation will help us. You should try listening to concubine Imara, please your highness." He continued to plead for her. "Please let go of me your highn
We rode very faster through the woods and all through the night. Nanna didn't show any signs of fatigue but I knew she must be very exhausted. None of us had ever gone through something like this, adapting could just be quite difficult but we knew we would be able to adapt no matter what. I wrapped my arms around Nanna as we stopped to rest a bit. Alvans made a tent for us to lay and the next morning we started our journey again after he gave us breakfast. "Alvans." I called while we headed to where the we moored the horse. He turned back and looked at me. "Yes!?" "Thank you." I said and embraced him without even realizing. He slowly let his loose arms cover me and he rubbed my back. "It's fine. I am glad to help you." He said and we disengaged ourselves from the hug. Nanna thanked him too and when we got to the horse, he helped me onto the horse and he climbed on too. "We will be there in a few hours, you will be able to relax there, okay? You don't have to worry about
I and Nanna stood up, I was certain I did not ask too much or did I? I just needed to know why they didn't have mate yet, not even one of them... It weird and I was sure they would accept that too. "What did you say?" Keith asked me, narrowing his gaze. Were these guys just over reacting or something? What was the essence of standing up and making a scene, I thought while I stared at my Nanna who was had that wondering expression worn on her face. Me and my mouth. "Why did you guys have to stand up as if I have asked too much? I only asked you about your mates, why are they not here?" I had to repeat. I didn't care of how they would react or take it. The trio looked at one another, before returning their gaze to me. "Oh we are sorry about that. That should be a coincidence, I was going to go to kitchen." Atlas answered with a smile. Oh good, they could smIke that. I felt relieved but still expecting the answer to my question. "And I was actually going to get some
"Breakfast is ready and the Alpha is waiting for you. They are also here." She said and turned to leave. "Who are also here?" I stood up. "Beta Keith's mate." She responded and I and Nanna looked at each other. Seriously? What could she have come here to do? I could remember I told Alvans that it wasn't necessary to invite them here. Did he? I smiled and nodded my head for the maid to leave. "Did you hear that Nanna?" I asked. "I did but... You know what? Let's go have a look. I think they sensed that you still doubt them, that's why they brought her here. At least, I am sure you are happy now that they ain't hiding anything." "You are right Nanna, but I still feel something is not fine about this pack. Our pack house wasn't like this? Same thing as Johannes castle." I pointed. Nanna smiled and kissed my forehead. I didn't know why she did that but it was still fine. "Let's go, they are waiting for us outside." She told me and we both left her room, hea
Ever since Casey had gone, the castle had not been same. The king had not been visiting me like before, even if we crossed paths he would ignore me as if I was nothing. He didn't give up on the search of Casey, this would never be possible. His Highness didn't know that I had sent her very far away from the town, to a place where no one would ever think of. I knew that what had been happening lately in the pack was enough for him to be depressed, but he wasn't still allowing anything to cheer him up. He didn't give him self the pleasure he usually received, he abstained from everything that even I had begun to fear. I wanted to be the real Queen and the mother of the heir to the throne, but if he wasn't coming to me how would we make baby? Or was he just avoiding me intentionally? I guess trying again will be better. I waited till dusk to get myself decked up by my handmaids, so that I would again go to do what I had always wanted to do – to seduce him of course. I called o
