Lara's heart skipped. What was going on outside? What about the guards? Suddenly the carriage was yanked open.

Cassandra quickly drew her claws, ready to attack. It was him. The assassin. Lara's heart leaped. He had come to kill her. Cassandra growled and pushed him away from the door.

He growled back and they start fighting. Lara was too scared to move. She didn't expect the assassin to be able to defeat the guards outside. They were in tens. How was he able to kill all of them?

Cassandra fought, ready to lay her life to protect Lara. She scratched and attacked him. The assassin was ruthless. His attack was swift and deadly. In minutes, he had her coughing out blood. She didn't stop.

Cassandra turned around and glanced at Lara. "Run," she mouthed before turning back to the assassin. She growled, turning into a beast.

Lara gasped in shock. She had never seen Cassandra in her beast form and didn't expect her to be so huge. As soon as Cassandra attacked him again, she dashed out of

    "Did you think we were too late?" Brad whispered, unsure of what to do. He sounded hopeless and scared. "I don't think so," Cage shook his head. "She will be alright, just a little weak maybe." Brad groaned out in frustration. He gripped his hair and pulled at it. His beast was mad. Angry at the dire state of their mate. He tried to calm him down but couldn't. The door opened and the healer, John walked in. "Your Majesties!" He bowed to them. "Come forward, John. Your expertise is needed here," Cage waved him forward. He quickly went closer and saw Lara on the bed. He tried to hide his shock but it was written on his face. She was the one from last time. He touched her hand to check her pulse and sighed when he felt her heartbeat. "What is it? Is she alright?" Brad asked as soon as he noticed his reaction. John stood up and nodded. "She is alright, Your Majesty. Just a little weak," he said. Cage raised an eyebrow at Brad. "So should we let her be or is there anything we have

    Lara fluttered her eyes open weakly. She felt tired and worn out. It was strange. She wasn't in her room. The room didn't look familiar. Her breath caught, thinking she had been caught by the assassin. She stood up immediately to move. "Wait!" a deep and worried voice yells out. She turned towards the sound of the voice and gasped. It was Brad and he wasn't fully dressed. "You're finally awake," he said smiling. She frowned. He walked up to her, with water still dripping from his body and hair. He shook his hair, trying to get her wet. "It isn't funny," she answered. She was surprised she had survived the attack. The last thing she could remember was the assassin trying to kill her. As she tried to recall exactly what had happened, her head started aching. Suddenly there were pains in her head. "Oh, my God! What's going on?" She quickly asked as she held her head. Brad ran to her and held her hands. He sat her back on the bed before touching her head. "What's wrong?" He asked h

    "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?" He asked in shock. Being a general of the Lycan army and suddenly turning into a bodyguard could only mean one thing. They were displeased with him. "No, Ted. Of course not. We are asking this of you as a favor because we trust you. You are the only one we can rely on to watch after her," Brad explained. Ted wasn't convinced. "Okay, Your Majesty. I'll guard her with my life," he vowed. "It's not a royal command, Ted. Your life is equally important to us too," Cage added. "Also, you do not need to follow her everywhere. Just whenever you're less busy. I think it would be better if you assign someone to always watch out for her when you're not available." "I understand, Your Majesty. I have one question to ask," he mumbled. It was now or never. "What is it?" Cage asked him. "It's about Lara, Your Majesty." "What about her?" "I've observed your change of attitude towards her. Is she your mate?" He asked hopefully. Cage glanced at Brad.

    "Hhmm, I've missed you," he murmured as he let go of her. Lara opened her eyes and smiled. "How long was I sleeping?" She was a little bit worried since she had not seen Desi for a while. "Almost a day," Brad answered as he turned her to him. She frowned. Desi must have searched for her first thing in the morning. Where was she? "And Desi?" "We had her occupied with Alexa's daughter. They played dress up and went into town to get some things." "She didn't ask about me?" Lara curiously asked. It was strange of Desi not to ask about her. "She did but we told her you had left to take care of some things. She was a little bit sad but cheered up after a while. You can see her when she gets back," Brad told her. Lara nodded. Well, it was expected that they would try to make sure that Desi doesn't find out about her attack. She placed her head on Brad's broad chest and sighed in comfort. His sweet masculine and earthy scent made her feel at ease. Her body was still weak. Walking to t

    The day before the ceremony, A lot of Lycans start coming into the palace. The palace was busy with maids running around to make sure everything was prepared and ready. Lara was exhausted yet she couldn't rest. Alexa, who had been told to assist her was nowhere to be found. She had left Lara all on her own, hoping for her downfall. Lara didn't care though. She was confident and persistent. Whenever she needs advice, she'll go and visit Cassandra. The preparations for the ceremony were bigger than she thought. The hall had been decorated with beautiful materials. The gemstones were added to the decorations to make them dazzle. Lara had never seen such beauty in her life. In her heart, she never wanted to leave. But if they find her cousin, she might be forced to. "Come on," she yelled at the maids walking slowly behind her. Due to her attack, she had not been able to undergo harsh training from Cage and Brad. Instead, they gave her a massage after a long day. She couldn't be any

    "Well I have you and His Majesty to save if that happens," she gave a sly smirk. Brad raised an eyebrow. "So that's your plan. We are now your guards, right?" He shook his head playfully. Lara gasped. "Of course not, Your Majesty! I would never think like that," she exclaimed, forgetting the food on the table. Brad snorted and continued eating. It seemed she was in a good mood. It wasn't common for her to be playful so he loved it. As they ate, he stole glances at her. Her once-dead expression was gone and in place was a woman filled with joy and life. The door opened and Cage walked in boldly. He paused when he saw Lara sitting beside Brad, clearly not expecting her. She doesn't eat lunch with them. He walked up to her and gave her a short kiss on her cheeks with a grin on his face. Lara's face turned red. She was still getting used to their show of affection. "You seem shocked, why? I'm allowed to kiss my mate, aren't I?" Cage inquired as he sat down to join them. "Yes," she

    Lara hurriedly left her room with her bow and arrows. Today, she will prove her strength. Her wolf shook her head at the idea. Not everyone could amaze a Lycan. But it didn't stop her. She was ready to prove she was strong enough. As she walked, a little doubt crept into her heart. It had been too long. She tried to train last night with her arrows but her body was weak and she fell asleep immediately after her head touched the pillows. Lara tried not to think about all the things that could go wrong today. And then she heard the sound of a horn. It signified the start of the hunt. She quickened her pace and went out of the palace. There were also others standing there, waiting expectantly. Lara took a turn and ran to the stables to get her horse. She couldn't afford to be late. Cage had already seen her before she got there. He didn't look pleased to see her. "Your Majesties," she bowed to them. Brad smiled but Cage gave her a brief nod. He was still angry. She walked to Jack, w

    No one answered. It got Cage angry. He broke the arrow. "Stay here and wait for me," he told Lara. "Wait, let me go with you," she said. No one answered. It got Cage angry. He broke the arrow. "Stay here and wait for me," he told Lara. "Wait, let me go with you," she said. "No, just listen to me! You could have been badly hurt right now. Just stay put," Cage yelled at her before running after the person. Lara got angry. He was asking too much of her. Staying in one place while she waited for him when she could be hunting didn't sound right to her. She walked away, continuing her search for an animal. And then she saw one. A deer. It was feasting on a grass. She tried to walk quietly to the perfect spot to shoot it.The deer's ears picked up the sound of her leg and raised its head. It glanced around and immediately Lara hid behind a tree. As she placed her arrow, ready to shoot, it dashed away. "Shit!" She cursed and ran after it. The deer was fast, running for his life.

    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
