Tessa’s POVI was woken in the morning by a persistent knock at my door that didn’t go away no matter how long I ignored it. I sat up with a groan and padded to the door to turn open the lock.A maid came through a moment later and curtsied. “Good morning, Miss. The King wants you to get ready and come downstairs immediately.”I frowned at her, confused, my sleep-addled brain not comprehending what was going on. I was even more confused when she pressed what looked like a tracksuit piece and some trainers in my hand. I unfolded the cloth to reveal that it was indeed that.Looking back to the maid, she offered no other insight, so I nodded hesitantly. “Alright. Tell him to please give me a few minutes.”She nodded and curtsied again before leaving me to prepare.I didn’t bother to shower because of the nature of the clothes I’d been given. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I dressed in the clothes and slipped on the trainers. I pulled my hair into a messy ponytail and bounde

Tessa’s POVAfter the training, I went back inside my room to take a bath. With all that excessive force, my entire body muscles were stiff. The instant my body touched the warm water, I sighed in relief.While I was dressing, another maid came in to tell me Zane requested my presence at the dining table for a meal. I told her to give me a few minutes, and she nodded before leaving.I changed into a pair of leggings and a cotton shirt, did as asked, and went downstairs. There was no one else in the dining room, but I was greeted by the delectable scent of fried, saucy chicken.Arriving, I couldn’t help the frown that formed on my lips upon seeing a single set of tableware.“Isn’t the Dark Lord coming?” I doubted it, but I couldn’t help the sliver of hope that needled its way into my chest.“No, miss. Sorry. He said he would be at the Packhouse for a meeting. If you need anything at all, please let me know. I was also asked to remind you not to leave the palace without your guard. For

Zane’s POV“We’re yet to get the receipts for the samples from Alpha Tristan. He’s being suspiciously tight-lipped about where he got this latest stock from.” Fred informed me.We were seated in my study, me behind my desk, him in one of the visitor's chairs across from me. A bottle of whiskey sat between us, with both our glasses left largely untouched on the table.“Hmm.” I leaned back in my seat. “Perhaps Tristan needs some stronger motivation to make him more compliant.”Tristan was the alpha of Dark Hail Pack. Their pack was known to be the distributor for medicine because of their skilled analyst and vast connections in both legal and illegal sides of the business.Fred raised a brow. “I don’t think it’s come to any drastic measures. I’ll let him get back to us first. If he’s still being shady we’ll give him a stern talking to.”I reached for my whiskey and took a sip. “Good. What about the Malteeve contract? Has the Red White Clan gotten back to you on that?”Red White Clan was

Tessa’s POVI groaned and bent forward, leaning my upper body on my thighs while I panted and tried to keep myself from crumpling into an exhausted heap.“I can’t…go…on…” I panted at Zane, and he chuckled.“That’s the attitude that’s keeping you from running the same number of laps every day. You need to push yourself. You can do it. You just don’t think you can.”I straightened, trying to slow my breaths. “I really want to…” I paused to take several more breaths. “It’s just that.... it’s so hard.”My breaths finally evened out but my legs remained rubbery and exhausted, my body weakened by the constant activity. We’d been at it for hours, teaching me some defensive combinations to try out after the laps I’d run around the training ground.My size should give me an advantage in terms of speed and agility, at least according to Zane. Unfortunately for us both, it wasn’t happening. I was too slow, too clumsy, and too weak.“Don’t worry. Just make sure you keep practicing. As long as you

Tessa’s POVI looked around, sniffing the lovely scent of fresh sweet flowers, tree musks, and even the dirt.Bitterly, I smiled while I slid my fingers on the bushes while I walked. “It would have been great if I could shift.”“You can’t shift?” Zane halted and looked at me with narrowed eyes.Spreading my arms with my shoulders up, I sarcastically joked, “Surprise, surprise! Just when you thought I couldn’t be more weaker than I am, huh?”“And still, you dare to have that stubbornness and uncontrollable guts of yours!” I stared at him, trying to see if he was being serious or joking to make me feel better. But with his usual stoic face, it’s useless.Really! Seeing him smile and be at ease was as rare as stumbling into a gem!“I wasn’t blessed with physical strength or shifting abilities! Should I also have a weak will? Then I’d be a real joke.” With that, I hastened my phase.“You’re not weak,” he suddenly said, making me halt.Slowly, I turned around to face him. “What did you say

Zane’s POV“You're dead!” I said through gritted teeth as I caught the flying knife with my bare hand.Sure, its sting and pain cursed through my system, but it was bearable. After being in countless battles and tortures, one would be surprised how much pain they could learn to tolerate.I didn’t know who they were, but they were obviously mere pawns. It didn’t even take me so much time to fight and defeat the three of them. And because they only had small knives, they weren’t as prepared as they thought they were.“Let’s go. Are you alright?” I asked Tessa, who nodded in shock.“Good, let’s go.”After disposing of the would-be assassin, I had my men escort us back to the mansion just to be sure we weren’t ambushed on the road.Tessa was pretty shaken up by the whole thing. The last blade especially had nearly gotten to her until I’d yanked her once more into safety.“I’m fine.” She reassured me when I glanced over at her for what had to be the thousandth time in this not-so-long car

Tessa's POVI woke up early the next morning feeling far better than I had the evening before, entirely refreshed to start a new day. I got out of bed with renewed vigor, determined to excel at my training today with Zane.Yesterday had been terrifying for me, and I still found it difficult to believe that somebody out there wanted me dead. If Zane hadn't been there, they would have succeeded, a thought that haunted me even now as it crossed my mind.I didn't understand why anyone would want to kill me. I had, to my knowledge, done nothing wrong. At first, I'd thought he'd been coming for Zane, but after the second knife had flown straight at me, it was clear that I was the target.While I was happy Zane had been there to save my life, it was clear I needed to take my training more seriously so I could protect myself even when I was alone.After Zane left me in the bedroom last night, Fred came to check on me and make sure I was okay. I'd appreciated his gentleness, and the little jok

Tessa’s POV“Who can say? You know what happened between those two the first time.”I was still reeling over that Zane had found his mate and remained unbonded to her. He was already as powerful as he was now.He would be unstoppable once he fully bonded with fated mate, so why on earth hadn’t he done so already?And what the hell was he doing with me, knowing he had a mate? Was that why he avoided me now? Was he, even now, trying to reconcile with her? I forced my mind to stop buzzing, needing to eavesdrop on the rest of this conversation in a way I’d never needed to before.“I hope he does it. King Zane will be unstoppable if he finally gives in to his mate bond. Our pack will be the strongest in the country, and no one could fight him for the throne anymore!” The maid who asked the first question giggled to her companions.The third, who had been silent until now, made a sound of dissent “Hm. I don’t know. I don’t think he’ll do it. It’s not like he even summoned her to come. He se

Ralph’s POVI sat down in the wooden chair inside my cabin in the middle of the Sahdowpine Wood, a huge smirk on my face. My fingers tap the armrest of my chair, and I lean back cosily. I imagined the grimace on Zane and Tessa's faces right now.“Alpha, we managed to cause significant fatalities on those patrolling around our borders,” one of the Rogues said, which brightened my mood even better.Joyful laughter immediately escaped my lips as I waved my hand to dismiss him.Standing up, I stood beside the window and looked far to the forest as I watched the Rogues training hard and completely wrapped around my fingers.When Zane came to ambush my pack and bring it to ruin, I was rage-filled, especially when Tessa escaped from me.Remembering those moments was enough to make my blood boil once again. Without control, I slammed my fist on the window sill, causing the wooden frame of my window to crack, but I couldn’t care less.“Alpha, is everything alright?” Some of the Rogues immediat

Jessica’s POVMy heart raced in an incredible beat as I watched him struggle to breathe properly from shock.Bending down a bit, I grabbed his arm and guided him to stand up properly. Looking at him in the eyes, I remained calm and guided him to breathe. “Take a deep breath and exhale.”He nodded his head and momentarily closed his eyes to calm his nerves.“Yes, just like that,” I added when I saw him taking deep breaths.As he started calming down, I let go of him and let him take his time.Opening his eyes, he sighed, swallowed the lump in his throat, and pantingly said, “They hit us hard…”My eyes narrowed. They? Did he mean the Rogues and Ralph?He shook his head in disbelief before continuing, “They are too organised for Rogues. They moved strategically. We were with some warriors who were doing patrols while we rechecked our tracking, but they ambushed us on the northern border.”“What?” I asked in shock before worry crept into me. “What’s the casualty? Did we lose a lot of warr

Jessica’s POVMy breathing hitched, and my heart went into shock. His scent drowned me, and his touches made me freeze.“I… I…” I closed my eyes and silently cursed myself. I couldn’t even form a reply without stuttering and feeling blank.Pulling away a little bit from me, which gave me room to breathe from all the tension between us, he kept his eagle-like eyes on me while his hands remained on my neck with his thumb on my cheek.“What?” he asked in a deep and demanding voice. Before, I would have easily pushed him away, but I was too tense to respond properly with how close he was.Hence, from the pressure he was giving me, my mind completely shut off, and before I knew it, I was blurting out the words I shouldn’t have ever said, “He’s gay.”As soon as I said that, my eyes widened, and I pursed my lips close in shock. Though it wasn’t secret that Hansel was gay, it wasn’t my business to spread it out either.“What?” Zane asked, almost as shocked as I was from what he heard.Taking

Jessica’s POVThe room instantly fell into a deafening silence from my outburst, increasing the tension around us as I was seemingly the only one who would dare to snap at the kingdom’s king.The others were looking at each other, weighing the room’s atmosphere, but couldn’t find a way to break the silence.Seeing as he was probably the only one in the same position who could break the tension, Wendell cleared his throat to grab our attention and spoke with authority, “We’ll increase the warriors patrolling near the Shadowpine Woods for now. If Ralph tries anything, I’m sure we’ll know.”Ralph…Hearing his name suddenly brought back a memory within me, and that chilling feeling I had when I was on the border of the Red Wood Pack earlier suddenly rushed back to me.I was lost in my own thoughts and was looking into oblivion until I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder that almost felt like a push tap, bringing me back to reality.“What?” I snapped at Hansel, but he didn’t feel the same unfa

Jessica’s POV“Yeah, right.” I merely rolled my eyes as a reply to Eric and walked past him to hide the redness that crept to my cheeks in disguise of hurrying to the meeting room to discuss my encounter with Eric.However, just after a few steps, I heard his heavy footsteps and long strides that followed me in a hurry, managing to grab my wrist to a halt. “You’re not harm, right?”I kept my back facing him, still not confident that my flashed face wouldn’t fail me and show how hard my heart was pounding right now with how much worry and care was vividly plastered on his face.“I came back as how I left, King Zane. Don’t underestimate me,” I replied in a faint voice as I pulled my arms away from him.“I never did…” I heard him reply in a low voice as I retreated, bringing a smile to my face.However, as soon as I turned the knob of the meeting room and entered, all my emotions were swept away to the back of my mind, and seriousness filled me while I walked in and slammed myself down o

Jessica’s POV“I’ll give you until dawn. I'm coming for you if you’re not back by then.”I dumbfoundedly stood by my room’s doorway, watching Zane storm out with conviction. Staring at his retreating, I involuntarily raised my hand and touched my pounding heart.Later, a smile formed on my lips, and I closed my door completely before turning to change my clothes.Since I wanted Eric to think I was still the same weakling he knew me as before, I rampaged through my wardrobe and found the most.A smile formed on my lips as I found the perfect piece. I changed into a white, innocent-looking box collar dress and paired it with black rubber shoes while tying my hair in a simple, messy bun.When I came out of my room, I heard the door next to mine open and involuntarily swallowed Zane’s dimmed expression as he closed his door and stared at me blankly.He’s wearing combat clothes – camouflage pants, a black shirt with a leather jacket, and tactical boots. With that menacing look on his face

Jessica’s POVI turned so fast and glared at Morgan, “How do you know about it? How did you know that it's right next to the Red Wood Pack?”My mind was in turmoil out of shock from what I discovered and annoyance that Morgan knew about it and didn’t state it properly earlier.She shrugged and mockingly replied, “Well, you didn’t seem to appreciate my contribution, so I just kept silent.”I wanted to punch the life out of her because she and I both knew that she just did it to spite me.“Wait, so it’s on their border. Why? Is that something we should take into account?” Wendell asked, stepping between Morgan and I.Closing my eyes, I took a couple of deep breaths and heaved a sigh.“Because that’s Eric’s pack. My… fated mate’s pack. The one who rejected me and sold me to Zane.”My fist automatically clenched in anger as I was reminded of those days – the days I was treated as a maid and a mistress. The day I was sold like an item.I could still remember running into that forest every t

Jessica’s POVAfter the heated meeting earlier, I decided to blow off some steam and go around the kingdom’s perimeter to run a random patrol check.Since none had yet to be decided, I didn’t find any great reason why I should stay there longer.However, I was just about to finally calm down and let all my anger subside when I smelled that familiar scent and felt that familiar demeanor approaching me.I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t either. We just walked together in silence until, after a few minutes, I finally broke it and asked what had been bothering me since earlier.“If she’s your ex, why is she still around?” I almost slapped my own forehead after that. Though it sounded casual, I couldn’t help but worry that he might think I was jealous. Which I wasn’t.Or was I?I was still in conflict with myself when Zane suddenly stopped and looked at me hesitantly. He explained, “Morgan has… some trouble, so she has to stay.”His eyes widened as he immediately added, “She’s not a thr

Jessica’s POVI woke up feeling alive early in the morning as I rushed to the meeting room. I was the first to arrive, vividly waiting for the tracker’s reports with my back on my seat and my fingers expectantly tapping on the table to pass the time.“You’re early.” Zane arrived with two coffees in hand.I narrowed my eyes as he approached me and handed me the other one, which was my favorite. Reluctantly, I accepted it and took a sip while keeping my eyes on him as he sat beside me.“So are you,” I replied, putting my cup down and nodding toward the clock.The meeting wouldn’t start until half an hour, and he usually arrived either on the dot or five minutes later. His impatience caused him to want everyone to be here already and not waste any of his time.“I thought you’d be early and bring your coffee. But if I knew you would be this early, I would have come earlier,” he uttered without batting an eye.I blinked a couple of times, feeling my heart pumping incredibly fast in my ches
