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
"Are you joking with me right now?" Cassandra yelled at Ted. She was fuming with anger. All her hopes were crushed. After thinking he was going to finally accept her as his mate, he does exactly the opposite. "I'm not," he said, turning away from her. She glared at his back wishing she could turn off her feelings just the way he does. "You said you loved me," she whispered. Ted had given her so much hope in the past few weeks and although he never touched her, she thought they had gotten somewhere. Was it all fake? Were his words just a lie? It wasn't making any sense to her. Why couldn't he just tell her what he wanted and how he felt? "I never lied to you, Cas. I won't lie. There are just some things that need to be done before I'll be able to be with you," Ted tried to explain. "What is it? Being at the beck and call of the Kings. Or is it about your family? What? I've told you I don't care about that, why won't you let it go?" "Because it is important to me!" Ted yelled. Ca
Lara gasped! Was this a dream or was he really here? She asked herself. In the room was everyone important. What should she do? The mere sight of him scared her to death. Her body started shaking just like it did whenever he was closeby. Her wolf shook her head, rejecting him. George just stared at her with a crooked smile on his lips. Finally he had gotten her. There was no escaping now! Brad noticed her expression and walked over to her. He held her hands, trying to pull her close to himself. As soon as he touched her, she shrunk away. Cage and Ted glanced at each other. There was something wrong. Why was there a werewolf tracing Kyla? He walked up to George and pulled him up. "Why are you in my pack, wolf?" He growled. George couldn't speak. The aura from Cage was suffocating. It rendered him speechless. "I'm… I," he glanced at Lara once more but she wasn't looking at him. Her eyes were focused on Brad whose expression was already turning into a frown. "Come," Brad said, pul
She lifted her eyes to him, her heart beating so fast it made her dizzy. He wasn't going to get angry at her? She also glanced at Brad. "You're with us, Lara. From the first day we saved you, you became ours. It was only a matter of time." His words were soothing to hear and she felt relief wash over her. They were going to be with her. She nodded but didn't speak. "Let's have dinner. The food is already cold," Brad said before walking over to his seat. Cage held her hands and pulled her to the table. They sat down and started eating. Lara couldn't eat despite their words of comfort from earlier. They might be able to fight for her but they won't be able to take Desi too. Desi was George's daughter and would be in his right to fight for his daughter. They wouldn't want to fight with the wolves. She also wouldn't advise it. The food in front of her was left untouched as she kept thinking about what to do. Cage and Brad couldn't eat too. They watched her play with her food while
