“What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you will not come here until it has been done!” the general, London’s cousin whisper, yelled at him. Cold sweat drenched his back as he kept looking around to make sure no one was looking. London raised an eyebrow, looking at him.“Did I say I would not come, or I said get it done?” the general could not care less what he said, this was not the time for him to be seen with London, not when the king is now looking into everyone in the palace. “Look, you must leave. They cannot see me with you, and no one must know the relationship between us.”London frowned upon hearing that. No one knows they are related and even when they wanted to meet, they would meet outside of the palace. Why was his cousin suddenly worried? “What happened?” his cousin brought his focus back on him.“The king has launched an investigation, but I do not know what it is about. All I know is that he is looking into everyone in the palace, including the elders.” London l
“This steak is so nice and juicy.” She had her eyes closed, savoring the taste. Jake chuckled. “If you wanted a steak, you should have asked for it, instead of taking mine, but I am enjoying your chicken. It is quite tasty.” Said Jake, making the mm sound as the chews. “It might be tasty, but I am not giving the steak back,” she said and laughed at the expression Jake gave her.“How cruel of you, my queen.” Sandra laughed harder, looking at him, pouting like a child. But that laughter soon turned into an uncontrollable cough. Jake’s smile turned into a frown when he saw his queen struggling to breathe and coughing like that. “Help!” he called out as he went to her and took her in his arms.Her face was white as a sheet now and her eyes wide and red as she coughed. “Help!” Jake called out once again and guards came running. “Call a doctor, now!” he ordered, but when he turned to look at his queen. Sandra was limp in his arms; she was not moving, and it did not seem like she was breathi
Chad left to get the general, while Jake sent soldiers to get London. He was so angry at himself for not protecting his mate when he was told of the threat beforehand. But he did not think they will act so soon. Jake hurried out of the room, going to the room next to the throne room where he had people doing checks on everyone in the palace.The guard at the door greeted him, but he ignores him and pushed the door open with so much force. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked in the door's direction. “Stop what you doing and do a background check on general Lewis and his relationship with alpha London of the Sky Moon Pack. I want that information within the next hour.”He ordered but did not wait for anyone to respond and left the room. “Keep the general in the cells until London gets here.” He sent a mind link to Chad. This was only his second day as king, and this happened. He knew London had not given up on being king, but he was naïve enough to think that he
General Lewis has worked in the royal palace for many years and in that time, he has made a lot of friends in high places. People with a lot of influence and money. People from different packs that needed his help with certain things within the palace over the years and when they heard of his imprisonment. They worked fast to get him out, but they could only get him out of the cells but not the palace.The guards on the front gate were very loyal and could not be bribed. Now they were waiting for nightfall when one of their own was on guard to get him out. Chad together with the guards looked all over for the general but could not find him. He ended up locking up all the guards that were on duty and placing new ones.‘Alpha king, the general has escaped, he was not in his cell, and we have looked for him everywhere but so far no luck in finding him.’ Chad mind linked Jake. He was feeling like he had failed him and Sandra. He should have known something like this would happen, Lewis wa
Sandra was still weak and when she heard what London said she did not believe him. The man was not to be trusted and he has had it out for Jake ever since she met him. She had nothing good to say about this man but Jake. He has always been good to her, and she had no reason to doubt him. “Jake would never do something like that.” She told him and London shook his head looking sad.“The ones who act all good and holy are the most dangerous ones. General Lewis and I saw Jake lacking around a food cart. There was no one in sight but we did not think much of it when it happened but when they came to get me and told me what happened to you, I knew he did something to the food.” Sandra thought about it before answering.“There is one problem with what you are saying, I did not eat the food that was intended for me, I ate his. So why would he poison himself?” London looked at her with sadness in his eyes. “Would you say Jake knows you?” Sandra was taken aback by the question but nodded anywa
Jake, Chad, and the guards search everywhere in the palace, but they could not locate the general. It was late and Jake ordered them to take a break then asked the night watch to keep an eye out for the general. Before going to sleep he went to the hospital to visit Sandra. When Sandra heard the door opening, she knew it was Jake.The doctors had already done their rounds and the only person that would come at that time besides the doctors was Jake. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She did not know how to face Jake after everything London told her. she trusted Jake but recent events and what she heard made her doubt him a bit.Jake stood by the door watching her for a moment before walking further into the room and taking refuge on the chair next to her bed. He took her hand and kissed it tenderly. “You don’t know how glad I am you are alright. I don’t know what I would have done without you, my queen. Even when they told me that you only had hours to live, I still coul
Sandra was fuming with anger after Jake left, she felt insulted by him, how dare he even suggest that she would want to be with London? All she wanted was the truth nothing more, but he couldn’t even give her an explanation. Instead, he just gave her away like that to another man, where was his loyalty then if he can even think of something like that?Where was this mate bond, he kept telling her about when it was that easy for him to just give her away like that? Lady Katerina knocked once and pushed the door open going inside. “Greetings my queen, I am glad to see you better, I was afraid of what the king was going to do had we lost you.” Sandra raises her eyebrow in confusion.“What are you talking about lady Katerina?” she didn’t not want to talk to anyone but having lady Katerina was going to bring her the destruction she needed and keep her mind from thinking about everything Jake has done. “After the incident the king locked down the palace, no is allowed in or out of the palac
When lady Katerina walked in, Sandra sat up and waited to hear if Jake was coming. “What did he say?” Lady Katerina walked to her and fixed her pillows. “I think you should give the king some time to think and calm down. He needs it,” She answered. “Is he coming?” she asked once again. “I asked the kitchen to make you some soup. It will be here soon. You must eat healthy so you can get out of here sooner.” Seeing lady Katerina avoid the question made Sandra’s heart sink.“Please, tell me what he said.” She pleaded. She didn’t know what to expect, but she needed to know. “It doesn’t matter what he said. He is angry, and it’s understandable. Give him time.” She said, then walked to the door and opened it for the maid who brought the soup. She came with another maiden who first tasted the soup before lady Katerina passed it on to Sandra.She then dismissed the maidens and sat on the chair next to the bed with a book in hand, trying to avoid answering questions from Sandra. She lowered he
