What is going on, Brad? Your expression is scaring me," she told them. He hugged her out of nowhere.Kyla came into the throne room and couldn't believe what she was seeing. What were they hugging Lara? She is one of them! Cage turned to Kyla and smiled at her. She nodded her head although she was still confused. Did she just make them get closer to their mate or what? "Brad now is not the time," Cage told him. Brad pulled away from her. "How did you find out?" Brad asked him. Cage pointed at Kyla. "She did it. She found the man responsible for our tears and also the whereabouts of her cousin," Cage said proudly. Lara turned to her, shocked. "You found where my father and Max are?" She asked again. Kyla nodded. That was not the cause for celebration though. They needed to strategize on how to attack the Alpha before he attacked them again! "Who is he? Tell me, who the bastard is!" Brad asked Cage but Cage shook his head. "Kyla, tell them what you told me." Kyla came Forward.
Cassandra glared at Lara but frowned. Was she speaking about the gemstone she had shown her? Her hands immediately went to her neck as she held onto it. Ted glanced at Cassandra. "Cassandra showed you the gemstone?" Lara nodded, looking at him hopefully. "And it once belonged to your mother?" "Yes, her name was Evelyn," Lars whispered. Ted frowned, unable to understand how she came to that conclusion. His mum was a werewolf, he knew but he didn't know she had a child. A girl. Her words were confusing. A gemstone can't be the only evidence to support her claim. "Do you have any other evidence?" He asked her. Lara frowned and shook her head. She was scared but determined to convince him. The Kings might make a decision that would hurt her but she is willing to prove her innocence. If Ted could be beside her, she would be confident. Her hands shook. "It's true, Ted," Cage's voice rang out from behind Cassandra. They turned to the voice. Cassandra's eyes widened and her eyes were
Everything was going wrong and there was nothing Ted could do to assist. Cassandra was punished by flogging. The Kings took pity on her and had her flogged. Lara was locked in her room and no one apart from Desi was allowed inside. No one was telling him anything. He hated being in the dark but couldn't confront the Kings to ask about her. He went to Kyla. At least, she must have an idea of what was going on in the palace. For all he knew, the Kings loved and cherished Lara. Locking her up seems suspicious. As he got to her house, Alyson opened the door. "Sorry for coming unannounced, I would like to speak with Kyla." Alyson was surprised to see the General at her door. She nodded. "Please come in," she waved, taking a step back for him to go in. Ted entered the house. Alyson offered him a seat before going to their room to inform Kyla of her guest. A few moments later, Kyla came out. "This is new," she said as she sat in the opposite direction from Ted. He sighed. Never have be
It wasn't what they wanted. Cage glanced at his brother. They needed Ted to get evidence for them else they'd have no choice but to put her in the dungeon for conspiracy. Kyla already knew about it and so did her mate. It was only a matter of time before the Noblemen heard about it. They needed someone they could trust. Ted was the only one capable of doing it. He wouldn't want his step sister to get hurt. He was a loyal Lycan. "I will try my best," he said and stood up to leave."Also, I'd like to know if she has been in communication with anyone outside the kingdom," Cage added. "Do not let Kyla know about this. She already suspects Lara and wouldn't believe otherwise," Brad told him. He nodded and left. "Is this necessary?" Brad grumbled. "Yes, we have to get ready to attack before he sends his men over," Cage explained. "Lara is the only one who knows the way to her pack. She could lead us to either a trap or to victory." Brad sighed. He didn't like this. *****************
Dad, wait for me," Lara cried out. The little girl didn't know what was happening but she was scared. Wilbert turned to his daughter with tears in his eyes. He does not regret his decision but had to leave the pack for now. He bent down and opened his arms wide to hug his daughter for the last time. She ran to him, wrapping her arms around him. Lara is still a nine year old girl but she understood that her parents' lives were in danger."Don't worry, sweetie. I'll come back for you," Wilbert told her. She shook her head, scared. "I don't believe you. Mum said the same thing and I have not seen her in over a week," Lara cried out. Her words stung Wilbert and he tried to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes. "Please, just stay here. You have Alpha Robert and a lot of children here to play with you. I'm going for a job and it'll be boring for you," he tried to convince her. Wilbert knew running away with his daughter could lead to her death which was why he wan
"You bitch!" George yelled while hitting her. He kicked her abdomen and laid hits upon hits on every part of her body. Lara tried covering her face as her mate hit her. She didn't scream nor did she cry. She had become numb to his beatings. Did they hurt? Yes, but she found out that crying and begging him only made him more angry. George hated the sight of his mate. She reminded him of her mother, the evil wench. With fury, he relentlessly stomped on her. His anger intensified when he noticed she wasn't crying and begging him. "You think you could steal from me! I'll kill you!" He yelled. "I didn't," Lara begged in a weak voice. She couldn't fathom how a little misplaced jacket could make George so angry that he was hitting her like his enemy. While he kept on hitting her, she silently prayed that her daughter wouldn't come home at that moment. George glared at the distasteful sight of his mate. His inner wolf was protesting, hating to see his mate hurt. But George didn't care. T
She heard her name faintly and tried to open her eyes. There was a throbbing pain in her cheek. "Mummy, mummy," she heard her daughter's voice and her eyes flew open immediately. "Desi?" She called out. Desi sat on the floor watching her mum. Lara stood up from the floor in search of her mate. "Where's your father?" She asked Desi."He left," she answered. Lara felt something cold on her face and touched her nose. There was blood pouring out from her nose. She ran to the bathroom and tried to wash it off. Some drops of blood had already stained the white gown she wore. She didn't care and raised her head after washing her face in the sink. Lara froze. Her face was swollen. With trembling hands, she touched her face. It seems now was the best time to run. It was already dark and while she didn't know where to go, she knew she couldn't stay any longer.With determination brimming from her eyes, she went back to the room. She brought out her bag and went through it. It was still inta
"We need to move faster if we want to get there in time," Brad told Cage. Cage grumbled under his breath. "What was that?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow. "We could have just left them there, you know. I see no reason bringing them with us," Cage said. Behind them was the female wolf they had just rescued. She was still unconscious which was becoming a nuisance to them. They had a mission to accomplish and didn't have the time to cater to a stranger. To top it all, her little daughter was sitting with Brad on his horse comfortably. "And what if they get attacked again? Her mother is still unconscious, Cage. It won't do us any harm to assist them. Once the mother becomes conscious, we could leave them in the nearest town." Cage's expression changed. He looked at his brother with a funny expression. "What?" Brad frowned."You? You are going to abandon them in the closest town?" He asked bewildered. Cage knew his twin brother was softhearted and would never abandon them if they asked

George cracked open his eyes and glanced around. Where was he? He looked at the familiar room and immediately recalled he had gotten home before giving up. He tried to move but ended up groaning with pains. What the hell did they put in his back? It hurts. He closed his eyes and tried to stifle the scream that was about to come out. After a while, the pain was gone and he opened his eyes again. He opened his eyes to his Father, staring at him. He quickly looked somewhere else. Alpha Robert watched his son in pain but didn't feel an ounce of compassion for him. He needed George to be strong. He was too weak. How could he come back looking like an animal? "How was the trip that made you leave your position as an Alpha? How was the experience? Was it enjoyable?" He asked his son. George couldn't look at his father in the face. He regretted ever accepting Lara as his mate. He should have rejected her the day he found out she was his mate.He wished he could go back in time. All these
It was late in the night when Brad and Cage finally got home. Lara had slept off while waiting for them. She was tired. As they entered their joint room, they saw her sleeping while hugging some pieces of jewelry close to her heart. "What's that?" Cage asked Brad. He glanced at them."I think she was looking at them and fell asleep with it in her arms," Brad said as pulled his shirt from his body. They were very tired and after stressing out for a whole day, what they wanted was to curl up with their mate but it seemed she was tired too. They took their bath and climbed on the bed. Brad tried to take away the jewelry and ended up waking her from her sleep. "Hello, mate," he murmured and kissed her cheeks. Lara opened her eyes and tried to sit up. "I'm about to sleep, you don't have to sit up." "I'm already awake," she grumbled. "Where's Cage?" She glanced around. "He is still in the bathroom," Brad couldn't help but yawn. He was very tired. Lara thought about not asking but afte
"You heard me, there's nothing in there. Maybe some beautiful woman and gems but aside from that I won't advise a pretty young lady like you to go," he told her. She ignored his words. "I'm still going to go!" She insisted. Suddenly, he held her arms and shook her. "It's not safe! Unless you want to be food for the Lycans. Now leave!" He shooed her away. Alyson moved away a little bit. "You sound hurt. Did anyone around you get killed by a Lycan?" She whispered. When he glared at her, she turned her attention to the tree. Kyla was done waiting. They were not saying anything. As she made a move to come out, the man answered. "Yes, I lost my father to those beasts, and now due to the greed of your Alpha, I am about to lose my own!" The tall man yelled.Alyson took a few steps backward. The men were becoming aggressive. "W… wha.. what do you mean by that?" He scoffed at her responses. Yes, she wouldn't know about what happened years ago since she must have been a child back then.
Lara couldn't believe it. They had accepted her relationship with Brad and Cage. The joy on her face could not be hidden neither did she try to hide it. Brad had glanced at her numerous times as they went back to the palace. She was glowing. He loved the look on her face. At least, they were done with the Noblemen. Cage was also happy. Finally, he would be able to mark his mate. If only he had seen his parents' murderers, he would be more than happy. He glanced around and noticed that Kyla was not with them.As a general, she always went out with them. He was so occupied that he didn't even notice it. Ted was with them though. "Where is Kyla?" He asked Ted."I have no idea, Your Majesty. Should I send someone to go to her house to check on her?" Ted inquired. Cage shook his head. Maybe she had gone to get something important for him and was not back yet. He decided to forget about her for the moment. "Do you think we will be able to do our mating ceremony now?" Lara asked them.
Nobleman Chad cleared his voice and decided to continue with his questions. He loved the way she answered them precisely but couldn't take any sides else they would start suspecting him. "Miss Lara, you've been participating in activities only Lycans do, is that a way of trying to prove that as a wolf you can do better than us?" He asked coldly. Lara hesitated. Who the hell thinks like that? She shook her head. "I have participated in only two Lycan activities so far and I didn't do it to prove anything." "During the yearly celebration, The Kings appointed me to be in charge of the preparations as their mate. I accepted because I wanted to be able to ease their stress." She took a deep breath to calm her emotions. "As for the second challenge, Fayn had asked numerous times for a fight but I rejected them. I decided to accept the challenge when she kept disturbing me, knowing fully well I might die." Her words about his daughter made him very angry. Nobleman Agar had to place a ha
