Lara stood outside, contemplating what to do. The guard in front of the throne room stared at her like she was a pest. She didn't mind though. Being used to it.

Brad was the only one currently in the palace that she could talk to. She was happy Cage was gone. At least for now. She had been avoiding Brad too for some time.

Her wolf was set on her getting close to them and she didn't want to. It would be a disaster on her part. Not like they were interested in her. Brad was just nice while Cage was downright rude and cold.

She had no choice. Pacing in front of the throne room won't help her cause. Taking a deep breath, she walks into the throne room where Brad was.

He was speaking with Ted when she walked into the room. They stopped talking and glanced at her. Lara paused. She wasn't aware there was someone else with him. She turned to leave.

"Lara," Brad called her. She turned back. "Come here," he ordered. She walked towards him and stopped a few inches away from the throne. "What

    Ted's face turned red instantly. She ran to him happily. All traves of the angry redhead were gone in an instant. She didn't even notice Lara. Her attention was placed only on Ted. "Cassandra, I told you to stop calling me that!" He admonished her trying not to look embarrassed but his red cheeks gave him away. Lara chuckled, causing Cassandra to notice her. "And who are you?" Cassandra asked coldly, glaring at her, from head to toe. Lara was stunned. What was with the change of expression? "I'm Lara," she answered and stretched forth her arm. Cassandra glanced at her stretched arms and turned back to Ted. "Who is she?" She asked him. Lara was speechless. She had totally just ignored her like she was a ghost. Lycans were very rude! She dropped her hands beside her. "Uhmm… I think you should reply to the one who just introduced herself to you. She is a guest of the Kings," he told her. Cassandra glanced at her again. This time, she was staring openly. "So she is the werewolf, rig

    Everyone stop!" Cassandra yelled, causing them to stop from starting a protest. She glanced at all of them, displeased by their attitudes. It was just one werewolf. One clueless female! They didn't have to act like they were scared of her. "While everyone understands the hatred for werewolves, we should not punish an innocent person for it," she said loudly. Cassandra's ears turned pink after her words left her lips. If any, she would usually be the first one to pick on her. But after saying all this, it'll be hard. "But why must she work with us? I don't want her here!" Another guy spoke. She glared at him till he lowered his gaze. Lara couldn't speak. She didn't understand why she was being hated. Her daughter was loved but not her. Their gaze has always been one of hatred and anger. "It's an order from King Brad," Cassandra warned them. "Anyone who has a problem with it can go to him." They all kept quiet. Nobody wanted to go against the King. "Lara, you will be working here

    She took a step back. Brad stood up and walked up to her. "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" He asked. She shook her head. It wasn't her fault that her wolf wanted to turn her into a whore whenever she lays eyes on him. Her mates. Having a mate wasn't a foreign concept to her but having two mates was just too much. She wasn't sure she would be able to handle it. "I can smell your arousal," he growled at her. She swallowed a lump. "It's not on purpose, I promise." "Then how do you explain this? How do you feel?" Brad asked her with his heart racing. It was a shock to him. He didn't know she felt the mate bond too. "I… I don't know but it must have been a mistake. My wolf is acting up," she tried to explain. He didn't believe her. She also felt the attraction between them. "You're tempting me, Lara," he touched her face softly. "I don't want to act on my thoughts but it's tempting. Scenting your arousal is killing me." She bit her lips not knowing what to say. "Leave bef

    "Wait! Please," she cried out as the mob suddenly came after her. They didn't listen. Two hefty men grabbed her. "Please! I didn't know!" "Don't listen to her. She is a werewolf. They always try to take things that belong to us. Now she has destroyed our work for the day, she must pay for it!" Someone yelled. Lara shook her head. "Cassandra please," Lara tried to fight the men holding her off. She swung her legs, hitting one on his chin. It only made their hold on her stronger. Cassandra's hands were tied. She didn't know what to do. Also, there was no way to call Ted and he'll get there in time. They wanted someone to blame and she had unknowingly placed herself in that position. "Everyone calm down. Let's think of another option," Cassandra yelled. "No, she must pay! I expect you to do more than this too Cassandra!" Alice yelled, inciting the crowd. Cassandra frowned at her. She walked up to Lara and slapped her with all her strength. Lara fell to the ground. She quickly held

    Cage came out of his room to see Ted outside, waiting for him. "Where is Brad?" He asked angrily. "He just finished a meeting with some elders so he should be in the throne room." Cage immediately took long strides to the throne room with his guards following behind him. This was a situation that required not just his but also Brad's interference. Their mate won't be safe if things keep going on like this. While he wasn't in support of their mate bond, there was nothing he could do but accept it. After all, Brad had accepted her without her knowing. The throne room was open with two guards standing beside it. "Your Majesty," they both bowed as he walked past them into the room. Brad wasn't expecting Cage so soon. He was surprised to see him coming inside with rage in his eyes. What has gone wrong? "Cage, I didn't know you were coming," Brad said as he stood up from his seat. Cage's expression made him apprehensive. "Well, I didn't plan on coming back immediately." Cage stopped

    "You've heard them," she stated. He nodded. "Yes, I just heard about it." She looked at him with disbelief. "Okay, are you going to do something about it?" "What am I supposed to do?" Cage didn't understand why she was worried about it. It was just a name. "Your Majesty! I can't go around with people staring at me like some prostitute!" Lara said, fighting the urge not to yell. "It doesn't matter, Lara. They will still think about you like that so it's preferable not to think about it at all," Brad told her. It was hopeless. She didn't want her name tarnished by anyone. "I don't like it. Please, Your Majesty, you could send a warning or give an order to your men." Cage saw how submissive she was when asking something from him and smiled. He loved it. "Okay, I'll do something about it," he agreed and her tightened chest let out a breath of relief. Lara didn't want to be seen as any other thing apart from their mate. "Thank you, Your Majesty." She turned to leave. "Don't thank

    The news of what happened in the factory spread around like wildfire. Every Lycan in the kingdom heard about it. If anyone did not know about Lara, they know now. While some people blamed the workers for it, others complained about a werewolf living in the palace. It caused a lot of panic from the female Lycans as they hoped to get married to the Kings. Some elders start coming to the palace more frequently in order to have a glimpse of Lara while they are with the Kings. Suddenly the palace is now very busy. Cage liked it. He felt disturbances like this will keep the Lycans on their toes. They have been too relaxed for some time. Very early in the morning, he goes to Lara's room and knocks on her door. He didn't want to see what he saw the last time he entered without knocking. The image was still fresh in his memory. After a few moments, the door opened and a very sleepy Lara stood in front of it. "You're still asleep?" He asked her, displeased. She blinked numerous times, try

    Her face turned red in embarrassment. How is he able to see her when he is speaking to Cage? She blushed. "Oh she was staring, wasn't she?" Cage teased. He glanced at her. Even in her ugly clothing, she was beautiful. The cloth snuggled her small figure, making her look enchanting. He "Come here," Brad called her. She hesitated. "Come." She walked up to him. Brad touched her face softly. She bit her lips. His eyes glowed brightly in the early morning light. "That's not why we are here, Brad," Cage cleared his throat, pulling them out of their lustful bond. This was not the place for it. Lara's eyes widened and she took a step back, not knowing what just came over her. Her wolf loved it though. She wanted more contact with him. Brad growled at him, displeased by his interference. Cage's logic was not needed at the moment. Cage held her hands and pulled her away when he saw the expression on Brad's face. "Take your minds out of the gutter," he told her as he tried to calm his lo

    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. *****************

    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

    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

    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.

    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
