CHAPTER NINETEEN

"Well, if you don't have anything else to say, Lilith, then you can leave." He replied. He needed some time to himself to work and to organize his thoughts — they were all over the place.

He needed a smoke, definitely.

"One more thing, my Lord." Lilith began, "It's about the plague the Prophetess had talked about. Beta Ryan had told me about it."

Ragnar arched a brow, "Plague? She didn't say anything about it being a plague. And I see, Ryan has a sharp mouth now, doesn't he?"

She quickly defended, "Not quite, I had actually overheard him talking about it. Not that he spilled the information to me." she said, "Also, just like you, my Lord, I also doubt the credibility of the prophecy — are you actually going to keep Astrid alive?"

Jealous and annoying. When was she going to understand that both she and Astrid meant nothing to him?

"Perhaps you didn't 'overhear' correctly, or didn't Ryan say that Astrid was the chosen wolf? I have to keep her around to avert whate

    "Last I remembered, this palace belongs to me and I have the right to be anywhere I please." He retorted. "I just got out of the bathroom! I could've come out naked!" She shot back at him. He scoffed, "It's not something I haven't seen before, isn't that so, Astrid?" His words made her fume with anger and her face scrunched in a scowl. Yet, her cheeks were stained with a subtle red. Hold on, why was she getting flustered. Ragnar noticed it. His gaze lingered on her cheek and seeing how his words had affected her. Slowly, his gaze lowered from her face and her soaked hair as he took in her barely covered nakedness — the towel wasn't doing much. And then, her scent. Fuck. Why on earth was he still being tortured by it? What more must he do to tell the gods that he wasn't interested in this woman? Why did they keep taunting him? She cleared her throat, "Please leave. I want to get dressed." she stated with a stern look in her eyes. "You keep running into me nearly naked. It's cree

    The carriage ride to the shop was awfully quiet. Ryan just sat there and Astrid sat beside him. He had wabted to make conversation with her but he was clueless on how to begin or what to say. He didn't want to set her off, so he just remained quiet. Astrid on the other, didn't feel the need to talk since she wasn't spoken to. She had caught Ryan peeking a glimpse at her a few times, but she pretended as though she didn't. It was her first time being out of the palace walls in two months and she appreciated the breath of fresh air, the sight of people other than the palace maids and guards and really just being out of the palace in general. The carriage came to stop in front of one of the shops and Astrid was knocked out of her thoughts. Looking ahead, she saw an array of clothing shops and people flocking in and out of them. "Shall we?" Ryan turned to look at her, offering his hand with a smile. He wanted her to hold his hand? Really? What was happening here? She looked at his o

    Ryan was also thinking the same thing. The townspeople knew Astrid. They hated her. They expected her to be confined in chains since she wasn't going to be killed. What would they say when they see her with him? "Give me a moment." he said and let go of her hand. He walked down to a woman selling veils. Astrid watched as he purchased one from the woman and returned back to her. "So people wouldn't recognize you." He said to her as he returned. She nodded, sharing the same vein. "Can I help you put it on?" Again, she nodded and stepped closer to him. He gently put the veil on, covering her face but still making it comfortable enough for her. So she could breathe well and not feel choked up. As he adjusted the sides of the veil, tucking in her hair behind it, his hands gently brushed the corners of her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. "There. No one will know it's you." He said as he finished and took a step back. "Thank you." She replied. "No problem, let us go in now." He

    She would come out and show him the dress shr picked out and he would either agree or disagree on it. She loved his opinion on fashion and he was funny as well. It went on for nearly an hour — and they themselves had already lost track of time. She stepped out with outfit number…she had lost count. It was a blue gown that was knee–lengthed, flowing gracefully around her.Ryan looked up from inspecting a pair of shoes that he had wanted to suggest that she picked out. His eyes widened as he took in her features, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her blonde hair complemented the dress and her blue eyes matched the shade of the dress. She was beautiful, so beautiful and looked even more gorgeous in clothes that weren't her usual rags. It felt wrong for him to be thinking about it, to be thinking about her. She was still very much an enemy to the kingdom and he shouldn't be harbouring these…feelings for her. "So?" she questioned, knocking him out of his thoughts. She did a twirl in th

    Huncho absolutely hated the smell of cigarettes. But as the second–in–command to Astrid, the leader of the Viper Rogues, he was around her most of the time and had to endure through it. The woman loved a good smoke. His tattoo gun paused mid action as he met Astrid's gaze with a faint smirk on his lips, "You're stoned as fuck—you would most likely not feel anything even if your chest was split open." he quipped. "You might even laugh." She flashed a brief, amused grin. The irony in Kai's statement wasn't lost to her— especially considering the fact that she had only just slit a woman's chest open yesterday. And indeed, she did laugh. How could she not? Her sworn enemy's wife was bleeding to death in front of her. It had filled her with delight. Next, she was going to go for Ragnar himself. But her father kept telling her she wasn't ready to take on Ragnar, and then he would go on to tell her how immeasurably powerful he was and how she needed more training to defeat him. She w

    Ragnar looked ahead, seeing that Astrid was closing up on him fast. He couldn't do anything—she was already too close for him to evade, the only option left was to fight back.And he just couldn't.Despite how revolting it was that she was his mate, he couldn't hurt her—hurting her would mean hurting himself, the pain of a hurt mate would leave the other with an immeasurable pain. With a growl, Astrid’s claw landed a powerful swipe on Ragnar's face. The force of the blow left a searing mark, and blood dripped from the fresh wound."I'm going to kill you for what you've done, Ragnar." Astrid seethed. However, as Astrid readied herself for the next strike, a sudden and unexpected change seized her.Astrid froze mid-motion, her eyes widening in astonishment.It was the scent of a mate.The realization hit Astrid like a thunderbolt, and she hesitated, her predatory instincts immediately subdued.

    CHAPTER TWENTY–FOURREID'S POINT OF VIEW My heart raced as I watched Kiara emerge from Nyla's bedroom, stomping out angrily. Dread washed over me as I wondered what Kiara had said to her. Without a second thought, I hurried to Nyla's room, my pulse pounding in my ears.I honestly don't understand what was going through her head, why was she being insecure? And projecting her insecurity on Nyla? As I reached the doorway, my eyes widened in shock at the sight before me—Nyla stood amidst her bags, her movements hurried and frantic. Panic surged through me as I realized what she was doing.She was packing out. Again, what on earth had she told Nyla? "Nyla, what's going on?" I blurted out, my voice coming out more urgent than I intended as I stepped into the room.She paused, dropping the clothes in her hands and turning to face me. "Nyla, please," I pleaded as I took a step closer to her. "You can't let Kiara's words dictate your actions. You have to ignore her. Don't let her get to y

    NYLA'S POINT OF VIEW Sometime during the drive, I stirred from my sleep, my eyes fluttering open to find Reid beside me, his features softened in slumber. I took a moment to study him, my gaze tracing the contours of his face as he leaned against the window glass. He looked so peaceful, his usually stern expression relaxed in sleep. A lock of dark hair fell across his forehead, adding to his rugged charm. Despite the circumstances that had brought us together, I couldn't deny the undeniable allure of his presence.I found myself wondering, almost idly, what it would have been like if things had been different between us. What if we had been under different circumstances? What if we had been married, sharing our lives together?The thought was both tantalizing and terrifying. On one hand, I couldn't deny the undeniable attraction I felt towards him, the pull of his magnetic presence drawing me to him.But on the other hand, it was sour to harbor such thoughts. In fact, it felt as th
