"What do you mean, Nobleman Agar?" Cage immediately questioned. He couldn't believe Agar would do anything to hurt Lara. And even if he wanted to, the question would be why?Brad shrugged. "When we came in, he didn't look surprised to see us. I noticed he didn't even care about our relationship so I don't know if someone is trying to make us suspicious of him." That was the reason Brad had bragged about Lara being his mate. He wanted to see Agar's expression but apart from being surprised, he didn't show any other expression. Eyes do not lie and the eyes of Agar definitely looked like he didn't care. Which brought him to one question. Who was trying to make them distrust him? "Do you have an idea of who is likely to do something like this?" Cage asked him but he shook his head. He didn't know and there's a lot of people that might want to use him. "There are a lot of noblemen that would love to see Agar on his knees so I am not sure. Should we send Kyla to ask him if he had argued
Bubbles came out of the water as she tried to free herself. She was drowning. Was this how she would die? Lara asked herself, still unable to move. His hold on her head was too strong. His eyes glowed, showing how his emotions were glaring as he hurt his mate. George's wolf couldn't watch it anymore. As his hold loosened a little, she tried to pull her head out of the water. Her hands were by the sides of the tub as she pushed her body forward. George growled and pushed her into the water again. At the moment, he wanted her gone. She was one of the reasons his father always gave him a look of disgust. Her eyes closed, as she flapped her hands around. She was losing strength and consciousness. Her attempts to get out of the water became weaker and weaker till she finally stopped. "Dad!" Desi yelled as he entered the bathroom to search for her mother. "Dad, what are you doing?" Her panicked voice echoed. His hold slacked for a moment as he became distracted. Lara took the moment a
The guards reported her visit to the prisoner to Ted when he asked if anything happened. It came as a surprise to him as he never thought she would visit him alone. "Why was she there?" He asked them. They glanced at each other. "We don't know. We were not able to hear their conversation," one of them explained. "Alright, go back to your posts," Ted ordered them and they left. Cassandra had been inside the house, eavesdropping on their conversation. "I know you heard everything, Cassandra. Come out," Ted sighed and glanced at the door. Her eyes widened and she walked out from behind the door, not looking at him. He shook his head. "Why are you eavesdropping on my conversations?" "Lara needs to be protected, Ted. Don't let her out of your sight!" Cassandra couldn't bring herself to tell him that Lara planned on running away. That visit might be her last visit to him. Ted raised an eyebrow. Her tone made him look at her suspiciously. What was she hiding from him? Did she know so
"What's that?" "I want you to tell Ted to protect the Kings. George told me that there are people who do not want me to be their mate and are ready to kill me to achieve their goals." Cassandra's jaw dropped. "Wait, do you mean there are Lycans that are willing to betray the Kings because of you?" Lara nodded. She never thought about it before but now it was all coming together. Everyone accepted her but they said cruel things behind her back. "I don't want to cause a division in the kingdom. It'll be better for me to leave," Lara concluded. Cassandra moved closer to her and touched her softly. "I understand what you mean but will you really be able to leave Desi here?" She was concerned. Cassandra knew how much Lara loved Desi. It would break her, leaving her here. Lara nodded. She didn't want Cassandra to be aware of George's escape, or else she might spoil her plans. "I need my daughter to be safe." "With Desi here, I'll always come back for her," she added. Cassandra unde
"Arghh!" She screamed but suddenly there was a hand covering her mouth, muffling her screams. She didn't know what was happening. "Fucking hell!" George growled and hit her head against the wall, by the door. She fell but quickly lifted her eyes to see the intruder. "G.. goe… George," she whispered in shock. He smiled as she called him. "I'm out!" He said happily. "Did you think your mates would be able to keep me there forever?" He cleared his throat. Lara tried to move backward but he held on tightly. "You are not going anywhere, mate. You will be going with me so do not even think about yelling!" "Let go of me!" She tried hitting his hands. It only made him more happy, to see her struggle with him. "If you want me to stop hurting you then stay still," he warned her. She became still immediately. Tears came to her eyes. She regretted coming to her room at this time of the night. She should have stayed in the embrace of her mates. Their warm touch and intoxicating scent would
Cage woke up the next morning and touched the bed, in search of Lara but her side of the bed was cold. He opened his eyes and glanced around. He was still in Brad's room. Standing up from the bed, he went to wash his face. It was daylight already. He had slept throughout the night. Brad woke up too and when he didn't see Lara he asked, "Where is she?" Cage shrugged before entering the bathroom. He washed his face and came out. "We have a meeting this morning. She might have gone back to take her bath." "Oh okay," Brad stood up from the bed. "I'll see you later," Cage said and left the room. They prepared to go for the meeting with the noblemen but when they got outside, Lara was nowhere to be found. "Where is Lara?" He asked one of the maids that passed by. "I have not seen her, Your Majesty." She bowed. Cage glanced at Brad. "Go and get her from her room, right now," he ordered. She quickly left to do as ordered. "Don't tell me she is still sleeping?" Brad asked with a small
"I had seen her coming out of Desi's room with a man. He had the scent of a wolf but I ignored it, thinking it was her scent," she said to him. "Let me know if there is anything I can do to help." He nodded. "How long has it been? When did you see them?" Ted asked desperately. He needed to redeem himself. "I think about four or five hours ago," she told him. "Thank you," he said quickly and ran away. Maggie felt bad for Desi. She never expected the Mother who loved her daughter to leave her and run away with her ex mate. Desi had slept off with tears in her eyes so she took her back to her room. Cage and Brad didn't have any more time to waste. Time was of importance. They quickly mount their horses without waiting for their men. Kyla had just entered the palace, not knowing what had happened. As she saw the Kings take off to the capital for the meeting, she followed them. Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the building and came down from their horse. Kyla and the guards b
"Come on," George pushed Lara as they kept walking. Lara was tired. Why had she thought it was a good idea? She was starting to regret her decisions. The stupid wolf had refused to steal a horse hence here they are, walking all the way to the border. Although George had said they would enter the capital for some weird reasons. "Why don't we just go straight to the borders? It would be harder to leave after today," she tried to convince him but he ignored her. George thought about going to meet the lady that had helped him. She was mysterious but he didn't care. She would be able to give him a horse. The eastern borders were far away to even consider walking there and he needed to save energy just in case they got attacked on the way. Lara was tired. The sun was up and they had been walking for hours. She glanced at him. He didn't look like he knew where he was going. Being tied also didn't make things easier. It made walking even harder. Although she could get out of the chains
