The sight of the assassins drawing nearer to Arthur startled him. He thought back to Freya's warnings about the dangers of the outdoors, but he forced himself to ignore the thought of how she might have known. Whatever their number and strength, he would not stand by and let them assault him. He grabbed his sword from the ground and forced himself to stand. Unbelievably, though, he has now learned that the assassin who pays him regular visits is also the one who saved him. Is his goal to murder him or form an alliance with him? Was he supposed to murder him but was unable to do so? Who is he, exactly? For an assassin to be sent after his life yet hesitate to murder suggests one thing: the assassin knows him and may wish to work with him... or not. He stayed vigilant, watching the assassins approach him slowly, but deep down, he was terrified because there were so many. How will he conquer all of them while remaining safe? Freya was standing observing the other assassins' movements
Elora went magnificently into Luna's chamber, as Luna had requested, and bowed before her before taking a seat on the sofa. She spoke to Luna, who was consuming the fruits that had been brought to her, "The maid informed me that you had sent me over here." She gave a nod. "I gave you a call because of Freya, that woman. You saw her make threats against me, and I would not want that to occur. We need to figure this out because I detest it when someone is my weak point.” She moved the table to one side. "How should I handle her?” Her tone conveyed her meanness as she inquired, "What is it that would send her behind bars?" She was not finished yet. "It will not be difficult to handle Arthur if Freya moves out of my way. I have noticed that he is no longer listening to me and is in her shadow." Shaking her head, Elora did not give a damn where or how Arthur ended up since she was not into him either. All she wants is to make sure she reaches her goal before it gets heated, but since Fre
When the guard returned, she wanted to shout at him for wasting more time than she expected, but she kept her cool and made her way to Arthur's chamber. She opened the door to see him sleeping. "I should take that charm; there is no need to come in," she said and carefully closed the door. She made the decision to talk to the guard as she walked by Luna's room. “Will I have you as a friend? I do not have any." At the very least, he nodded in order to receive three squares of food instead of his regular one. She whispered to him, "Then, you will have to keep something for me." She knew in her heart that Elora had spent time in Luna's chamber and would soon go, but even if she was caught, she had to steal the charm. Now that the guard has joined her, she slips inside Elora's chamber and starts looking for the charm. After about two minutes, she discovered it in her clothes drawer. "Her father is now giving it to her, after Luna first gave her to add to his dinner. Is this poison mean
Three days after being placed inside the cell, she received a visit from the guard to whom she had given the charm. When the guard woke her up, she realized he was holding the charm. Without him, they would have recognized she was hiding something, and because Elora's father donated the charm, he might have used it against her. "I overheard a talk about you being deposed from Luna's chamber, so I slipped in here to offer you this and notify you. What are you going to do?” The guard informed. “Alpha King will also arrive soon.” She licked her lips. “Deposed? Was it that bad?” She accepted the charm from the guard with a grin, gave it some thought, and then shook her head. "You should rescue me from this situation since I sacrificed my life to acquire you.” She stared at the container with the charm inside, thinking, "This is not the main reason I came here.” She touched the guard's shoulder. "I detect his presence, therefore you need to go so he does not think differently. I will pay
"Get her out!" the top guard yelled. At that command, Freya got up from where she was sitting on the floor. She has been in the dungeon for ten days now, and she is certain that Luna and her allies previously prepared everything. She was brought to the palace hall and made to kneel in front of the King and the other guests. She was scanning her surroundings when she noticed Elora grinning at her. “Is she really so excited about my removal? Unfortunately, I will utilize her first.” She averted her gaze, attempting to develop a plan for her next move. She can not leave the palace without accomplishing her goal, and if she does, Elora will be able to reveal her schemes, which will make things more difficult for her. She raised her head at the chief minister's approaching footsteps. The old man turned to face her, triumphant expression on his face. "Never! You are unable to prevail twice.” Her hand tightened as she thought. “The acting Luna will be removed from her position today fo
He took her clothing off and lay her on the bed, his gaze fixed on her cleavage as he licked his lips. He removed his cloak and undressed entirely. Her gaze was drawn to his groin, which was firm and rigid with visible veins. When she looked into his eyes, she could sense his desire for her. As she squeezed the bed sheet, she could feel the dampness of her pussy. His wolf's deafening howl overtook him, and his eyes changed color instantly. His head bowed as he kissed her belly up to her breasts. Hearing her heartbeat, he glanced up at her face and said, "Do you want this?". She responded with a nod. She tried everything she could to avoid it, but she couldn't, so he took control of her body and ensured she reached the peak. He licks her lips, his palm holding her jaw up and his teeth displayed before her. As she looked into his orange-gold eyes, she felt a connection to the matebond that instantly roused her wolf, letting it howl in greeting. She had chills all over from the del
Freya peered out the window and saw that it was already dark. She checked the clock and realized it was about 9 p.m., so she softly got out of bed to avoid disturbing Arthur's slumber. "After only five hours of sleep, I doubt I will be able to sleep tonight...I need to handle a few things." She fixed her gaze on Arthur, who was still sleeping sweetly; he seemed more attractive asleep. "I cannot be fooled by your appearance..." She forced her way out and tiptoed into her own room. Using her Alpha powers, she was able to find her closet and remove her assassin suit. She closed the door, went into the bathroom, changed before opening the door, and exited the room through the window. Although it is too early for her to go, she has a deadline and must return within an hour to persuade anybody inquires about her whereabouts with her lie. Knowing that the chief minister has a lot of guards and that security would be too rigorous at midnight, leaving at such time will save her some worry b
The next morning, while eating breakfast, she had a flashback of what had happened between her and her wolf the night before. She let go of her spoon and examined the food dish. She felt both happy and sad at the same time; relieved that she had not killed Arthur last night, even though she hated that her wolf had not allowed her to succeed. Who would fuck her and make her demand more if she had murdered him? Apart from that, even the minister she saw last night would work with Luna to drive her from the palace so they may carry out their own agendas. However, she still does not understand why, given their friendship, the minister is plotting behind Luna. Did Luna wrong him or refuse to give him what he desired? “It is all simply an attempt to get power. Even after they slaughtered my parents, he is not the direct heir to the kingdom, thus he must advance after seventeen years." She muttered beneath her breath. She shuddered at a touch on her shoulder and raised her face to look at
Three weeks later,“The Alpha King is dead, she's just hiding him in his chamber.”“The ministers are bothered to enthrone a new King since she's still pregnant….”“It is said that she killed him to avenge the death of her parents….”Rumors are spreading around the Pack, and Freya is the most haunted about it. There is a secret not even she knew, but that would come to light when it's due. She doesn't wish for all her hard work to be in vain.If Arthur doesn't wake up—even if it would be a miracle, she would be a loser. It has been finally exposed that the maid who claimed to be bearing the Alpha’s child is an impersonator and is Elora. For accusing the King and impersonating, her penalty is death, and the ones that had her backed up, including the Beta, Flarry, and his men, the Ministers, will all be executed.But, one thing has to be sure. The only one who would order the execution is the Alpha King. he needs to wake up, to save Freya from that hell, or they will all succeed, thereb
At first, Freya was furious. But when she reasoned that it must be a trick as such gibberish came from the same maid she was suspecting, she decided to go talk about it privately with Arthur. “Leave!!!” She commanded the maid before her and headed towards the Alpha's room.Entering, she didn't believe her eyes. Arthur was lying lifeless on the floor. She rushed to him and shook his body constantly…. “If this is a prank, just end it and open your eyes.” she shrieked, trying to open his eyes. “Pupils dilated. What is wrong with him?”She studied his pulse and it was faint. “His body is chilly—” she bit her lower lip. “Arthur!!!” her voice resounded in the room. “Geralt!!!” she repeated, breathing endlessly. “This isn't a joke. Call the physician…” she ordered and struggled to get him up until he was laid on the bed.She stood some feet away from the bed, staring at his face. “What is wrong with him? His face is becoming pale. He was just fine minutes ago….” she was panting, trying to be
The secluded building was as quiet as usual. Freya's footsteps reverberated in the area as she walked in with her sword in her palm. Her eyes trailed around the room, knowing that whoever eavesdropped on her conversation with Arthur must surely be hiding in a place.“Reveal yourself before I find you—” she stamped her sword on the floor. “Now!!!!”Elora quivered. She would spit out her heart if time weren't taken. She would have been mindful if she had known that Freya would come after her. When she arrived, she reached the well to see Arya there. Her eyes were tied up so she couldn't see a thing but observed that someone came around.She didn't bother to speak since her aim of coming into the palace wasn't to save her. She learned how the rope was tied and it happened to be a tough one, and noticing that Freya was after her made her dodge to save her life first.“You won't come out right?” Freya laughed and walked to the well. “Make sure I don't see you again. If I do, you will regre
Elora was disguised and sent forth to the palace. She came a long way with the Beta to the way that would lead her into the Pack fully. She turned to meet Beta's eyes, “Be strong alive, and wait for me.”He sniffed and patted her shoulder. “I'm worried about you more….”“Don't bother. I will be fine. They won't know that it's me.” she assured him and pulled him closer for a kiss. “Freya is tricky, so I will be very careful and make use of that opportunity wisely.”He caressed her cheek and then bid her goodbye.She didn't stop walking until she entered the palace as a palace maiden. One would think she was there to only do as Flarry had ordered her, but it was her only time to do what brought her back to pack. First, she needs to create enmity between Freya and Arthur and then be able to strike with that opportunity. She entered the palace and reached the kitchen. Flarry had told her that the captured maiden who was still caged was posted in the kitchen, so she would have to go there
Before Flarry and his men, Elora and the Beta were tied up, too. They kept wincing in pain, pleading to be rescued, but Flarry was deaf to their plea. He was trying to get an idea of what to use them for.He knew they were banished, and if they were on good terms with Arthur or Freya, it wouldn't happen. “Killing them isn't a nice option either. It's a waste of strength….” he said to himself, looking up to meet their gaze. “They might do a better job to save Arya.”“We already told you our motives, and you assured us that it was the same as yours. Why then would you tie us up? Do you think we will betray you?” the Beta voiced out. If only he was with just a single sword, it would have been better. He was already intending to get one once they went into the market since his sword was taken from him as it was the palace’s property.Flarry gulped. He was lost for words.“Just untie us so we can settle things. Unless you are still in love with Freya and are enraged that we plot to kill he
The next day, Freya came into Arthur's room very early in the morning to see him still lying on the bed. She tapped his thigh. “It's morning already, won't you wake up?” she gnashed her teeth. “He's still that lazy….”“Who told you?” he peeped at her, stretching his limbs. “I am never lazy. I was being that way to steal your heart then, but not now. You wouldn't even accept me if I'm weak.” he yawned and sat up on the bed. “When did you leave the bed that I didn't get to know?”She scoffed. "You sleep so much that I can drag you out and you won't even know.”He shook his head. “You lie! If I was that way, then you would have killed me even before my parents.”She smiled, seeing him defend himself in all aspects is proof that he was becoming mature enough to be the King without being intimidated. “Fine, I just had a peek of the ministers and they are all shivering due to the cold. Leaving them to die there will cause your people to be against you, so I would prefer that they be thrown
About an hour after the fight with Flarry, Freya decided to go meet the maiden whom she's sure was Arya. She goes into the room to see her breathing quickly. “You must be so hungry that your breathing accelerated…” she squatted before her and wiped her nose ruthlessly. “Mates!!!”Arya lifted her face, having a scowl. “You must be jealous that we are mates….”“And you must have known about our relationship that you quoted that I'm jealous of.” she scoffed and rubbed her palm on Arya’s hair. “It's also a pity that he wouldn't even care if I kill you here. That won't stop him from attacking me either, not until he gets what he wants. So you can see, being his mate changes nothing. If you die while helping him, he will have another woman for himself.”Arya clenched her teeth. She hates it that Freya was talking ill of her lover, but could still reason out of it. Why isn't Flarry here to save her despite knowing she is in danger? Just like Freya said to her, she is worthless to Flarry and
Stamping the edge of his sword constantly on the floor, Flarry felt shattered. He didn't expect the ministers not to achieve what they had gone into the palace for. Arthur was a weak King to him and he believed that the ministers would be able to control him no matter what.He lifted his head to face his right-hand man, “Why should I believe that the puppet King arrested them all? Is it even that possible? A plea from the ministers is supposed to weigh him down that he will have no choice…..”“Freya is his strength!!!” the young man replied, sitting on the floor, his legs coiled up. “She emerged and startled them all, ready to kill them until Arthur interfered and stopped him. She must know that you staged it all…..”Flarry dropped his sword on the floor. “That wench! I just regret not killing her from the beginning……”“If it had worked out like you planned, you wouldn't say this.”“What then should I do? I need that file to overthrow Arthur. Once I successfully do it, Freya will be p
When the sun had set that same day, Arthur was already back and had discussed how everything went with Freya. He was taking a nap when the loud noise that kept reverberating in his ear forced him to sit up.He focused, to know if the noise he heard while asleep was real or his hallucinations. His brow arched when he realized that it was the voice of the ministers. “What is going on out there? Is it also written in the Pack constitution that the King will never rest?” he grimaced.Several times, he wanted to force himself to get back to sleep again but couldn't. It looked like they were screaming in his eyes once he laid back on the bed.“Who's there?” he screamed, and a guard came in and got to his knees. “What is going on out there? Or am I beginning to hear things?”The guard shook his head. “The Ministers are protesting in the front of the hall chamber.”“Why? Did anybody die?” he climbed down from the bed gently since the guard failed to answer his second question. He put on his r
