chapter 2

Thank you” Lilac said after purchasing a wallet from the market that she wanted to give to her mate. She walked back to the house where they both were staying with a smile on her face, feeling more content than ever. But when she walked into the house and saw Johnathan, her smile faded. She knew immediately that something wasn't right. There were two people who she immediately recognised as palace guards standing in front of Johnathan, and she knew they didn't come bearing good news.

“What's going on? Why are you here.” Johnathan turned to look at his mate and sighed. He looked distraught, and the guards also looked the same way. Her heart raced as she waited for them to tell her what was going on.

“What!” He exclaimed her eyes wide in shock when she heard the news. “How long has it been…”

A laugh of anger left her mouth when she heard the guards' response. “Why am I just hearing of this now? Did Liam keep everything from coming out? " she ran her hand through her hair. There goes that holiday. It was over and ruined. She walked away towards the room after the guards gave their message from Liam, informing them to return to the Palace as soon as possible.

Johnathan followed after her and sat close to her on the bed. They both sat in silence for a while, digesting everything. They had thought the dark witches would finally be put to a stop after Hazel had been caught, but now she had escaped, and she could be plotting something new. They barely stopped her after she almost killed Joan.

“Devon would have gotten the news already” she said, and Johnathan nodded. “Why is all this happening now? I'm sick and tired of this, "she muttered. She hated the palace. It was where most of her bad memories were. She hated the supernatural world. She just wanted to be with the man she loved without any trouble. That was so much to ask for. Johnathan found her hand and intertwined their fingers. “Everything will be fine” He assured them and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. She wasn't sure if it was going to be fine this time… A bad feeling like never before had overwhelmed her entire body when She walked into the house and saw the guards talking to Johnathan. It made a cold shiver run down her spine. The bad kind…

“Your majesty,” Tyler said, trying to stop Liam, but Liam didn't listen.

“Is it ready?” Liam asked, ignoring his right-hand man's words. “Yes your majesty, but…”

“But nothing… we leave after Joan and her mate arrive” He replied and continued to stare out of the window. His mind is only on someone. I hoped dearly that she was safe. If something bad happened to her, he would feel it. She was his mate and it wasn't severed yet. Sometimes, he wondered how his wolf was able to keep calm to this extent and not go feral. It was for her sake. His wolf could feel his emotions...

“Do you think she is safe?” He found himself asking, and Tyler couldn't give him the answer he wanted. “That is the reason I need to leave to find her. I can't bear It if she gets hurt. It would kill me, "he said and sighed.

He finally turned to look at Tyler, expecting him to try to continue to convince him to stay at the Palace, but Tyler said nothing more. He knew how the king felt and knew nothing more he could say would convince the king to stay and not go look for his mate.

“I will accompany you then Your Majesty.” Tyler looked like he wasn't going to take no for an answer, and Liam nodded, agreeing...

Lilac and Johnathan arrived at the Palace the next day, and Lilac looked mad as she walked to where Liam was waiting for them. “How could you keep such a thing from us for so long!” She yelled in anger and ignored Johnathan, who was trying to calm her down. She was infuriated.

“I didn't want to ruin your holiday” Liam answered, and Lilac scoffed. “Well you ruined it all, so it would have been better if you ruined it earlier than waiting for over a month.do you have any idea what kind of a problem this is?”

Liam could only just stare at his sister. “Someone more powerful than her broke her out of the Palace. That is the only explanation because there is no way she could have escaped herself without any help”

“That is a hundred per cent true” a familiar voice sounded, and they all turned their attention towards Devon and Dian, who walked into the room. Devon looked as mad as Lilac...

“Keeping it from us and thinking you could solve this on your own wasn't a good idea,” Devon said.

“I didn't want to alarm everyone.. when you all thought everything was finally okay” Lhe said, and they all grew silent. Lilac looked behind Devo, expecting to see his mate. “Where is Alice?” She asked her brother.

“She didn't come with me. I didn't let her, "he answered.

“You left her at the pack by herself!” Lilac exclaimed. Why were both of her brothers getting on her nerves?

“It is much safer than here.” He replied to Lila, who didn't look convinced. She remembers the time Ash and his rogue Werewolves had invaded the pack house…

“Why haven't you found her yet?” Johnathan asked, taking their attention back to the matter on the ground.

“My men have searched everywhere, but it always led to a dead end…” Liam answered. She had looked everywhere he could think of and places he couldn't think of, but Tylercouldl, they found nothing but a few dark witches who knew nothing. It was so frustrating because he knew he needed more help now than ever...

“I don't think she is here,” he added. That was the conclusion he had finally come to after all this while, and it seemed plausible.

“I think she is in the human world….”
