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
The following morning when the doctor come Sandra wanted to be discharged. The doctor tried to convince her otherwise, but she would not hear it. By the time the lady, Katerina, came to visit, the queen was already dressed and ready to leave the hospital wing. “My lady, did the doctor discharge you already?” the lady was shocked.“No, but I will not stay here another minute. Let’s go, lady Katerina. There is a lot to be done.” She told the lady as she walked to the door. Lady Katerina had no choice but to follow her queen behind. She went to her chambers and got changed quickly. She wanted to get to Jake so they can have breakfast together and have time to talk to him.When she got to where Jake was having his breakfast, he did not even lift his head to look at her. He focused on his food. He could smell her scent and he wanted to go to her. Hug her and ask how she was doing, but how could he do that? She thinks he tried to kill her. “Good morning, my king.” Jake stood and walked out
On the way back from the Sky Moon Pack, Jack was quiet. He did not know what to make of London and his cousin Lewis. He did not know if they were cruel or plain heartless. He believed no sane being would do something like this. They killed the queen, now that was obvious. But what did they hope to gain? He did not understand.“Stop thinking about this so much, alpha. Let us finish it and remove these people from the face of the earth. They are not meant to live, among others.” Chad was still angry at London for being so cruel and for what he did to Sandra. “I am just wondering what his intentions were when he killed the queen.” Chad turned to him.They were both sitting at the back. “Is it not clear to you by now?” Jake shook his head no. “I think he did it so that the king has no successor when the time came. There was no other way for him to get the crown if the queen lived and gave the king an heir. Then the crown would have gone to him, and London would not have gotten his chance.
