"Well guess the show is over," the old man chuckled behind George. He turned around. "Unbelievable." His mate could not have been the strong wolf in the arena just now. It wasn't possible. "You have to believe it. Everyone does," the old man shook his head. "A werewolf beating a Lycan is a story that would be told for generations to come." George nodded. Indeed. Seeing her in the arms of another didn't sit well with him. He noticed his wolf wasn't excited to see her. There was no rush of emotions nor did her scent attract him. He was confused. What had happened to his wolf? It was a shock. All the years they have been together, he always felt the pull of their mate bond. He felt empty for the first time. He couldn't feel the mate bond and it pissed him off. He glared at the Kings as they left in haste. They should be the reason for this, he thought. There was no other explanation for it. "Glaring at the Kings, tsk tsk tsk," the old man shook his head. "Do you want to get killed
John considered going back but the Kings were already walking towards the dungeon. He had no choice but to follow them. Nobleman Tyson would have his head if he heard of this. They got to the dungeon and the guards opened the gate immediately. The four of them walked in including Kyla. She would be the one doing the interrogations. She looked ready to kill. When she was called to join them, she caught a glimpse of Lara's helpless body on the bed and couldn't help but become pissed. Lara had become her friend and she was proud of her during the duel. No one expected her to excel and actually defeat a Lycan but she did. Her student did it! So she was angry to hear there had been foul play during the duel. As a general, there was nothing she hated more than a cheat. They got to the cell where Fayn was kept. She looked very scared with dried tears on her cheeks. As soon as she saw the Kings, fresh tears started pouring out. "Open the cell," Brad ordered. The guard quickly unlocked t
"Ted, send a message to all the noblemen," Cage said as soon as he left the dungeon. Ted, who had been standing outside waiting for them, nodded. "Will that be necessary?" Brad asked, frowning. Cage turned to him. "Yes, if there is anything I know about Nobleman Tyson, it's his misuse of power as a noble. We need to be prepared." "They won't be able to do anything even if they try. They are just a bunch of old men looking for more power," Kyla mumbled as she came out. Cage shrugged. He was quite aware of the fact but still. They were advisors to his parents and have done the same to them. Their guidance has also been a contributor to the growth of the Kingdom. "Not all of them are power hungry. Men like Nobleman Agar are not power hungry are they?" He raised an eyebrow. Kyla quickly shook her head. "No, Your Majesty." Her father in law was a quiet Lycan who didn't abuse his power. He raised his daughter to be just like him. "I thought as much. You're becoming biased in your jud
Two days later, Lara woke up tiredly. She fluttered her eyes open, glancing around. Her mind was distorted for a moment. She pushed herself up and sat on the bed. Brad was holding her hand while Desi was on the bed sleeping. She looked out the window. It was still dark. It was the early hours of the morning. She pulled her arms away from Brad. He moved and raised his head up. As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up. "You're finally awake," he whispered. She nodded and made a motion of covering her mouth. She didn't want him to wake Desi up. She stood up from the bed. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on her leg and glanced at it. She frowned. It had healed but there was something weird about it. The injuries were gone but in place of it were green marks. She glanced at Brad. He shook his head. "What happened?" She whispered. Brad held her hand and pulled her to the side. "You were poisoned by Fayn. During the battle she had a weird poison on her which caused your injuries not to he
Why do you ask?" Cage stared at her suspiciously. "Well she is the cause of all these. Won't it be preferable to let her go?" Lara asked. She doesn't know or understand how important noblemen are but she didn't want to be a reason for anyone to discard the Kings. "Don't worry, nothing can happen. Besides, we are the Kings. This is a monarchy. No one votes to make us lose the throne. It's just the normal procedures," Cage brushed a strand of her hair away from her face. "But they are equally important, are they not?" "Yes, we seek advice from them once in a while. When we got the throne, we were still teenagers and needed their guidance. They helped us." His words seem to ignite more reasons why she didn't want them to have any disagreement because of her. "Let Fayn go, I'm fine now," Lara told him. "You'll have to tell Brad. He is the one that has her locked up," Cage told her. Even better, she told herself. Bryan would not be able to say no to her well maybe except this time.
"Oh wow, guess you can't go anywhere without her," Cassandra sang. Kyla growled and they laughed. Lara shook her head. This would be her life now. Talking and teasing her friends at every opportunity. She liked it. "How's Desi? Heard she refused to leave your side till you woke up." "Nanny Maggie took her out for a little while. She had quite the shock considering she had seen me in this position before. I think she was just scared," Lara explained. "Well, she didn't look happy with His Majesties. Saw her glaring at them when they tried to pry you out of her arms," Kyla chuckled. Lara smiled proudly. Desi was just like her. She must have been scared of being alone and didn't want to take any chances. "Is it possible for her father to be in search of her?" Cassandra asked curiously and her heart skipped a beat. Lara's eyes widened and she shook her head. She wouldn't put it past George to search for his daughter since she was his only child but he possibly can't be in the Lycan
She whipped her head to him and bit her lips. Cage cocked his head. There was always something on her mind whenever she bit her lips. "You can talk to us," he urged her while she hesitated. She walked to him. He pulled her to his body causing her to sit on his legs. "Someone could come in," she quickly said, trying to leave. He held her firmly close to his body. "They wouldn't dare." Lara glanced at Brad for help but he was looking at them fondly. She stopped struggling after a while. It was futile. "Now will you tell us what is in your mind or do we have to fuck it out of you?" Brad asked her again. She glanced at her fingers. They were sweating. "How is the investigation going? You haven't told me anything concerning it?" She asked Cage. He stared at her. Was that the reason she was here? He asked himself. She looked troubled as she entered a few minutes ago. Or was she stalling? Questions he couldn't answer twirled around his head. "Well I didn't want to distract you because
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Brad frowned. She shook her head. "It's nothing, I'll just take my leave," she stood up but Cage pulled her back to his legs. "You're not going anywhere, little wolf until you tell us what your statement means," Cage said. She frowned. This wasn't how she expected the conversation to go. They had brought her to a point where she has to spill what she had seen or not leave. Just as she was thinking about how to reply to them, the doors opened. Desi walked inside with Nanny Maggie behind her. "Mummy, I've been searching all over for you. I have something I'd like to show you," Desi yelled happily as she ran to them. Lara stood up and this time, Cage allowed her. She sighed in relief. Desi had saved her from trying to lie her way out. "Oh, where is it?" She glanced at Desi's hands. There was nothing in it. Maggie was also empty handed. "It's in my room, Mummy. I didn't want to move around with it." "Alright, let's go," she told Desi and took a
