Author’s POVCallum cleared his throat at the awkwardness. Ronan caught a clue and released the older man. He had been overwhelmed by the emotion that came with the death of Celine at the sight of his uncle. “I am sorry. Didn’t know what came over me.” Ronan mumbled. “Is everything okay? Why are you acting so emotional all of a sudden?” Callum inquired. Ronan’s wolf reminded him of the possibility of Callum being the culprit. He suddenly tucked his emotions away and furrowed his brows. “What is going on, uncle?” “What do you mean?” “I am going to go straight to the point. Before Aunt Celine went away she had come to me to talk about your maltreatment of her. And as heavy as this is on my mind, I have no other choice but to make the announcement. Aunt Celine is dead.” He stayed frozen on the spot not knowing what to say. That was the last thing he expected Ronan to say to him. His thoughts ran aimlessly before he eventually picked one out of it in response. “I…is this some sort o
Ronan’s POV I stared intently at the letters opened on the table comparing each line to see if there might be any kind of mistake there. But everything appears the same and nothing is amiss. Aunt Celine no doubt wrote the letters. I am surprised she didn’t write to me after the first one I got. If truly Elder Callum knows nothing about her being missing and now I have to provide a response to the help I had rendered without permission. I held both of my head in my palm groaning in despair. I had spent last night going through the letters over and over again until I slept off. And now I am here again this morning to see if I missed anything last night. I had a terrible nightmare last night. Aunt Celine was running after me in her wolf form accusing me of leading her to her death. As powerful as my wolf was, I couldn’t shift in the dream or do anything to defend myself. It felt like I had a huge weight on my shoulder that prevented me from moving right. I struggled and was almost pou
Ronan’s POVI didn’t have the slightest idea about what Timon was up to. But he seemed to have been able to find the bodies of the guards. The door opened abruptly and two dead bodies in the familiar guard uniform came into view Everyone gasped and covered their noses as they were pushed in. I felt pity and guilty at the same time. If I knew these poor men would meet their end on such a small errand, I wouldn’t have let them go. The families they bid goodbye to would never get to see them again and that is my fault. “What is the meaning of this?” Elder Callum asked. Timon looked towards me for permission to speak. I gave him a nod to go ahead. He cleared his throat and stood up. “Since you all are hellbent on accusing the Alpha King of something he knows nothing about. I will take my time to explain things to you.” He stayed quiet and switched to mind-linking me. “Should I mention the things your aunt said?” “No,” I replied keeping a stern look. “You are wasting our time. Are y
Fiona’s POVI inhaled the smell of fruits and flowers in the air and it calmed my nerves. I can’t remember the last time I got to see a place beyond the corners of the room I was put in in broad daylight. I rubbed at my belly in delight. My baby seems just as relaxed as I am. The doctor wouldn’t need to give me any instructions. Because a dose of all this a day would have me feeling healthy like never before. I am beginning to think the royals were just worried over nothing. Ever since it has been announced that they have a child bearer, nobody seems interested in me. My wing is only filled with needed maids and guards. And when I walk past they just bow briefly and go about their businesses. It's not like I want any attention in the first place. I just want to move freely. “Here you go, my lady. You must be thirsty.” Isla said with a grin as she poured me a cold lemonade from the tray she just brought with her. “Thank you,” I mumbled taking a long sip. “This tastes so good.”She s
Author’s POVCallum yelled as he kept hitting his men with the plank in his hand while they dug the ground. He couldn’t get the conversation at the meeting out of his head. It made him so mad that all he could think of was committing another murder. Maybe he had gone too far in confronting Ronan. He just didn’t want to appear too relaxed and raise suspicions. “Be fast with it. How long will it take you to dig up a land?” He bickered at them as he gave Celine's stiff body a dry look. She has always brought him nothing but trouble. “Make sure she is reduced to nothing and buried properly or I will have every one of you skewered to taste.” He threatened to storm back into the house. The intention is to make the body disappear by pouring acid to get rid of any flesh and have her buried. Burning her now would pollute the air and many people will smell her. He can’t risk that. It would be best for him to quickly resolve the situation of her death and prevent Ronan from investigating furth
Ronan’s POV“How is it that nothing has been found yet? There should have been someone lingering around that place when it was happening.” I started feeling my veins almost pop out of my head.Timon stared at me patiently. “You know even if someone was there at the time, they would be too scared to death to testify to it. And what if they are being threatened by those who carried out the deed? We have to move carefully to avoid being outplayed.” I groaned inwardly, ruffling my already scattered hair. It's been three days after the entire saga in the meeting hall and I haven’t been much of myself. I remained stuck in the study going through Aunt Celine’s letters over and over again to be certain they were real. Also, it occurs to me that my uncle has no reason to lie to me. Or does he? “What are you thinking of?” Timon asked. I stared at the door for a while before looking back at him lowering my tone. “Do you think my uncle might know something?” He raised a stern brow at me. “Let
Fiona’s POV“Why are you so restless?” Isla asked me as I kept pacing the room back and forth. I shrugged slowing down. “I am just trying to keep my body moving. It is quite painful sitting or lying down all day.” “Would you like to visit the garden or probably run in the woods?” “My body feels too heavy to shift,” I replied. Rin seems to not be in the best mood to respond to me. It's not like I would have appreciated any kind of movement that would have made my bones shift. It's becoming harder each passing day as my belly grows. Sometimes I worry my baby might be having difficulty moving around because of my laziness. But the doctor assured me nothing was wrong and that we were fine. As I tried to lean forward I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me from behind lifting my belly. I didn’t realize I had let out a loud moan feeling relieved. I know who it is, his smell and breath is enough to acknowledge him. Isla cleared her throat and bowed hurriedly as she made her way out
Ronan’s POV Even when i lay next to Freya and held onto her tightly. My lips still tingled from kissing Fiona. I didn’t realize how much I have been longing for it and how delighted my heart is. I shouldn’t be saying this, but it got me very excited thinking about it again and again. I shouldn’t have left like that without saying anything Fiona might think that I am irritated by her. She wouldn’t know I felt like a child who finally had the chance to taste the candy he had been deprived of for a long time. I wanted to save it because it felt too good. Devouring it all at once felt like a sin. Shrugging Freya off me gently. I sat up with my legs to the ground clasping my hands together. I know I should feel bad for desiring another woman when my wife is next to me. But I can’t stop thinking about Fiona and I want to believe it is something out of my control. This time around I don’t just want to have a bite. I want to have a full taste of her. Just like when we were at Abian villag
