KIARA At first, I was merely suspicious of the smell of the chicken soup. It had a hint of an acrid smell. But when the silver bracelet around my wrist started to turn black, I figured it out right away. The bracelet was a gift from my mother. I'd never taken it off. Today, it saved me from what could have been a painful experience. I gulped, my limbs trembling.I looked up to meet Denzel's gaze. He appeared calm, but his rage was barely contained. I could feel it through our mating bond.I watched as he ordered the maids to get rid of the meals on the table. Keenan hurried in, looking alarmed. "You called for me, your majesty?" He asked, his eyes wide. "I want you to investigate the source of the poison," Denzel said, and Keenan stiffened."W-what? Someone tried to poison you? H-How..."Denzel cut him off. "Don't ask me. Do what you've been told," he waved him off, and Keenan bowed before rushing out of the dining room. Denzel walked up to me and took hold of my arm. He st

KIARA Melissa's claws sank into the curve of my shoulder, and I jabbed my elbow into her stomach, knocking the air out of her lungs. She stumbled backwards, clutching at her stomach, a mixture of pain and fury brewing in her eyes."You got stronger," she commented, her eyes darkening. "Of course I did." My retort dripped with defiance. My hands seized a white bathrobe off its hanger by the wall. In swift motions, I wrapped the robe around me and tied the sash around my waist with my gaze fixed on Melissa.Fueled by rage, she launched another attack. I dodged her blows, maneuvering her towards the tiled wall. The impact left a vivid red stain on the wall as she collided with it, the metallic smell of blood permeating the air. Hostile hisses escaped her lips as she struggled to her feet, half blinded by the blood now flowing down her face. "I'll kill you. I'll fucking kill you, you hear me!" She screamed at me, flashing her blood-stained fangs at me.I should have felt fear. I

KIARA I jolted awake with a gasp, bringing a hand to my baby bump in remembrance of the anguish I'd suffered. Right before I'd passed out at the training arena, Denzel had showed up, his eyes filled with concern. I stared at the pink sky through the window. Dusk had arrived. This meant that I'd been unconscious for hours. Was my baby okay? The memory of the amount of blood that had left my body was enough to bring tears to my eyes. My hands began to tremble at the thought that my baby was in danger. "Are you in pain?" I turned to look at Denzel, who was seated by my side, his brows creased. I reached out for him, and he took my hand in his, pressing a kiss to the back of my palm. "My baby... is she okay?" I breathed, swallowing past the painful lump in my throat. "She's alright. She's safe," he responded, and I sighed, tears of relief filling my eyes. "W-what happened? Did I do something wrong?" I rasped, my gaze meeting Denzel's gentle ones. "It wasn't your fault," he said,

KIARA Cassy managed to help me serve quite a delicious meal to my mate. Even so, I couldn't tell him I'd taken part in the cooking. I went to bed late that night. Denzel had been busy with some work in his study. Therefore, I fell asleep without him.When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a rocky terrain with unyielding mists. The sky was cloudy, and the air was chilly. I furrowed my brows, puzzled. This strange terrain didn't seem like a mere dream. There was a feeling of deja vu gnawing at me. This place reminded me of Lucas. Was this another trick of his? There was no way he had sneaked into my mind despite Denzel's imprint, right? "What did you do? I couldn't enter your mind for a while," a familiar voice spoke from behind me, and I curled my hands into fists, frustration bubbling up inside of me. Speak of the devil. Taking a deep breath, I turned around to see Lucas standing there with his hands shoved into the pockets of his black pants. He wasn't wearing a shirt, an

DENZEL My mate stared at me with wide, fearful eyes. I could feel the wild racing of her heartbeat. Was she that afraid of being alone? Letting out a sigh, I cupped her face and pressed a kiss to her forehead."The annual peace treaty meeting will be held for three days. As king of the mountain wolves, it is important for me to attend the event," I said to her. Kiara's frown deepened."Three days? That's a long time. What do I do when I miss you?" She mumbled. I smiled at her. She was so adorable when she mumbled like that. "You can stay in my room," I told her, and she blew out a breath."Fine. You have to come home right after the event, okay?" My heart warmed at the sound of the word 'home'. Kiara might not have thought much about it. However, it meant a lot to me. "When will you be leaving?" She asked, gazing at me. "Tonight," I responded.She nodded slowly, and I grinned, pulling her into my embrace. Holding her like this brought me so much relief from the continuous

KIARA "You have to leave before my father returns, do you understand?" He asked me, his dark eyes wide. I gulped. I should be afraid of the danger in his eyes. I shouldn't have hesitated. But seeing him covered in blood was hurtful. And it hurt even more, knowing that I couldn't do anything to help him. "Snap out of it, Kiara. I won't die from all of this. You've been feverish since last night, this place is not safe for you," he said. This time his gaze was softer. I'd always wondered why his voice had a certain maturity to it. I knew he was older than me by a couple of years. Even so, he spoke as though he was centuries old. I found it fascinating. "Do you not hear me?" I sighed, lowering my gaze."What about you? That man won't stop hurting you. How can we escape this place when there's no door or window?" I asked. He reached out to take a hold of my hand in a loose grip. His bloodied fingers stained mine, but I did not feel disgusted. "Trust me, will you?" He whispered

KIARA "You should be terrified. You do not know what I plan to do to you," Deanna hissed, and I blinked, folding my arms around my chest. Deanna lurched at me but stumbled backwards before she could touch me. She stared at me with wide eyes, her nose flared. "W-what are you?" "So, you're Deanna. The one who lacks respect for herself. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You keep claiming that I stole your position," I said, and she narrowed her eyes at me. "What's that supposed to mean?" She demanded."You betrayed Denzel first. You're the one who decided that you didn't want to stay by his side," I said."Is that what he told you?" She hissed. "What? Are you going to lie about that? I know you're petty enough to possess people to do your bidding. It's why I'm not going to believe anything you say," I stated."You think you're all that? You're not special, you hear me? You will come to understand this when he loses control around you. You're not safe. Nobody is safe around him,"

KIARA Denzel took my hand in his, inspecting the glowing tips of my fingers with squinted eyes. He looked up to meet my gaze, a crease in his brows. "Are you feeling okay?" he asked, and I nodded. Suddenly, his frown deepened, his eyes darkening. "Is something wrong?" I asked."Keenan just contacted me," he responded, dragging in a sharp breath. "Apparently, there are corpses around the palace walls," he said, and I stiffened."Corpses? Who would do that?" I said, my stomach tightening. "I need to monitor the situation to ascertain how bad it is. Will you be okay on your own?" He asked."Of course," I responded, and he pressed a kiss to my cheek."I won't be long, okay?" He whispered, rising to his feet. I watched him walk out of his study, a sinking feeling in my stomach. I had a feeling that this was merely the beginning of something huge. After I left the study, I headed to the garden, only to find Cassy sitting there. She beamed at me, gesturing for me to sit beside her

KIARA "Are you ready?" My mate asked me as I wrapped an arm around his waist and pressed a kiss to his bare back. We were both lying in bed on our first anniversary."I'm excited," I squeaked, and he chuckled. "You're finally getting to imprint on my mind. Of course, you should be excited," he replied, his voice laced with amusement. "Close your eyes. I'm gonna go in now," I whispered, delving into his mind. When I opened my eyes again, we were standing on top of a hill. There was a beautiful, clear waterfall directly opposite us, and there were bright red roses growing along the paths of the wide expanse of the mountains. The sky was a breathtaking pink, and the breeze was refreshingly cool. "Can I open my eyes now?" Denzel asked, and I chuckled, leaning into him from behind. "Yes."He glanced around, whistling under his breath. "Denzel?" I said, and he turned to look at me, his eyes wide with awe. Holding out a hand, I gave him a big smile."Let's go for a walk," I sugge

KIARA A scream tore through the air, and I narrowed my eyes, pulling the door open. Hurrying down the hallway, I reached out for Denzel through our bond. However, I got no response.More screams and cries filled the air, and my stomach churned. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me what was happening. Lucas was here. The battle had officially begun. Maids scrambled in my direction, their dresses stained with blood. "Azalea," I breathed, worried about my daughter's safety. Just before I could get to the nursery, I saw Cassy running towards me with Azalea in her arms. Her eyes were wide with terror. "He's here. He's killing everyone," she panted. "Take her to the basement. Can you do that for me?" I asked, and she gulped. "Stay safe, Kiara. Please." She croaked. I nodded, patting her back. I watched her continue down the hallway. She suddenly vanished out of sight. Relieved to know that my daughter was in good hands, I crouched by the side of an unconscious guard and grabbed

KIARA Denzel and I sat in our bedroom with Azalea asleep in my arms. My mate had cleaned himself up and was now dressed in his robe. There was a blank expression on his face. It was obvious that we were worried about the fact that Lucas had stolen Ria's power. I still couldn't wrap my head around how he had managed to do that. With Ria's power in his possession, I was the only one who could truly put him down for good. But there was one problem. I was yet to remove the seal. Lucas could attack at any moment. However, we were not ready for him. I still didn't know what Lucas' plan was, and this was unnerving. "Don't worry too much about it," Denzel said to me, his gaze meeting mine. I knew he was trying to comfort me. But, at this point, it was the last thing I needed. I couldn't shake off the feeling that a much bigger war was coming. One which was capable of causing a much bigger catastrophe. If we weren't ready for it, we were bound to get destroyed. "What if he comes her

DENZEL "She was right here in her cot. I was standing by the window, preparing her food. When I turned around, she was gone," Kiara's maid said, her head lowered. We were in the nursery, and Kiara was pacing back and forth. I knew she was barely holding it together. "You didn't hear anybody walk in?" She asked, and the maid shook her head. "No one came in. I would've heard the door open."Kiara gripped several locks of her hair and tugged. I walked up to her, releasing her grip on her hair."Don't hurt yourself," I said, and she looked up at me, her eyes filled with both desperation and anguish."It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left her side. I should have stayed to protect her," she said, her voice trembling. "We will find her," I stated, and she shook her head feverishly."Lucas... what if he's the one who took her? What if he took her to get back at us? What do we do now? This can't be happening," she sobbed.My mate was slipping right into panic mode, and it hurt me t

KIARA I didn't think. I grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her off my mate's body. Denzel stumbled out of bed and hurried into the bathroom with unsteady movements. Grabbing the strange woman by the hair, I kicked her at the back of her legs, bringing her to her knees. She cackled, and I narrowed my eyes at her, bringing my claws to her throat. "Who are you?" I demanded, and she stopped laughing."Can't you tell? I'm you.""What?" I breathed. For a moment, she almost got me to believe her. However, the glint in her eyes reminded me of Ria in an unnerving way. "Stop hiding behind that illusion. Show yourself!" I snapped. "You're no fun," she hissed, transforming into her original form. It was Ria."You bitch," I spat, my claws digging into her skin. Pushing me away from her, she transformed into her signature animal and vanished. The sound of Denzel throwing up in the bathroom made me grimace. When he emerged out of it, his face was as white as sheets. "Care to explain how

KIARA Stepping out into the garden due to my sudden insomnia, I was surprised to find my mate in an odd position with Ria. He had his hand wrapped around her throat, his eyes darkening with menace. "There she is. The star of the occasion," Ria choked out, casting a sidelong glance at me. "Denzel, what's going on?" I asked, and he refused to look at me. "Go ahead, Denzel. Tell her how you hid the fact that Lucas showed up again," Ria stated, and I narrowed my eyes at them."What is she talking about, Denzel? Did Lucas really show up?" I asked, and a muscle ticked in his jaw. He still wouldn't look at me. "Come on, Denzel. Don't keep her waiting. She wants to know about your injury and the fact that Lucas kissed you," Ria said, and I froze.I was appalled by the thought of Denzel hiding all of that from me. But, I felt more hurt knowing that Ria was aware of the things I didn't know."He's such a terrible mate, isn't he? He made you believe that you were his partner amidst all of th

DENZEL "Your majesty, do you realize what you've just said?" Keenan said, stepping away from the door, his eyes squinted at me."I know. It sounds crazy. I don't understand why he did that. The more I think about it, the more I feel disgusted," I said, and he chuckled."Now what? He finds you attractive? Or he wants to get back at Kiara by stealing you from her?" He stated, clearly amused.I scoffed at him, increasing the pressure on my wound. "Maybe he was just messing with you. Maybe he was trying to get a reaction out of you. However, if he's into men, he might be head over heels for you," Keenan continued, and I glared at him. "That's bullshit.""I know, right? This is crazy. Will you tell Kiara about that? No, wait...if you tell her about that, she's bound to find out about your injury," he said."What injury?"We both stiffened as the door opened and Ria walked in. She narrowed her eyes at me. "What happened to you?" She asked, and I shut my eyes, annoyed. "It is none o

DENZEL "There are no signs of injury on his body, your Highness. We suspect that this is a psychological issue," a member of the royal healers said to Kiara, who was perched by my side, holding my hand. I kept my eyes closed. Therefore, no one knew that I'd regained consciousness. "He coughed up blood, you know that. How can it be psychological?" Kiara asked."I'm afraid we do not have the answer to that yet.""You can leave now. I'll stay with him," Kiara said. The moment we were all alone, Kiara kissed my knuckles and stroked my hair. "Will you tell me what happened without lying to me?" She suddenly said, startling me. I opened my eyes to look at her."You knew that I've been awake?" I said, and she nodded. "Please tell me you know exactly what happened to you," she said, and I heaved a sigh, closing my eyes."It was Lucas. He was in my dream, except...it didn't feel like a dream. He stabbed me," I told her, and she stared at me like I'd gone crazy. "Lucas entered your

KIARA A week later, it was confirmed that Estella had indeed taken her own life. She'd left a will behind. Apparently, she had been overcome with a sense of emptiness. Although Estella and I didn't have a solid relationship, I felt bad for her. Denzel was hurt by her decision. He'd done everything to protect her, after all. With the royal family of the northern states down to one member, I had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before Denzel became their king. I knew that my mate was going through a lot. However, I could not comfort him the way I wanted to. Since I had to make sure that Ria believed that my relationship with Denzel was in shambles, I couldn't get affectionate with my mate. Ria was everywhere. She was making it clear that she was there to stake her claims. If I wanted to defeat her, I needed to unlock the fullness of my potential. I stared at the cloudy night sky with mixed feelings. The cool breeze caressed my hair and made me relax. Taking a deep breath, I cl
