Chloe clamped her mouth shut to stifle a scream.Veronica’s dead body was lying on the ground, right in front of her eyes. Blood was pooling. Chloe stepped back urgently to avoid her shoes being tainted.And she was shaking violently in fear. It took her almost a minute to utter, “Y—You killed her…”
“Oh yes. Very helpful. And I like her a lot!” Chloe nodded. “She told me how hard it was to live with the rogues. Poor girl, she has been through a lot. I am really glad that she is starting a new life right now.”Aurora and Angelina exchanged a look of delight.Both of them were pleased to see Chlo
There was a long, deadly silence.People all held their breaths in horror. Nobody could believe what they were seeing right now.Until a piercing cry broke the silence.Glen pushed through the crowd and darted towards the oak table. He held Veronica’s body in his arms, trying desperately to call her
“But don’t you want to know who killed Veronica?” Damien snapped, raising his voice. “Don’t you forget that the murderer is still out there!”Glen’s jaw clenched.After a small pause, he said abruptly, “I know who did it.”Everyone was stunned.Glen knew who killed Veronica?Glen jerked around and g
Damien and Aurora made the decision to leave for the Great Canyon tomorrow at midnight.Their main target for this trip was to find out more information about the Rogue King. So that they could be better prepared when they met this mysterious figure again on the battlefield.And if they saw the Rogu
“I can call Alpha Lance and invite him over later. It won’t be an issue,” Rivena suggested.Right, Lance.Aurora rubbed her temple and let out a sigh internally.She hadn’t got a chance to tell her brother about this plan yet.She could already imagine his anger when he heard about this later. Lance
When Aurora and the other disappeared into the distance, people sending them off all returned to the Crimson Fortress.Except for Angelina.She stood in the wind and gazed into the darkness, thinking about what Aurora said to her before they left.About Chloe.Angelina couldn’t help but asked hersel
This fucking bastard—“You seem mad,” Silas chuckled. “But shouldn’t you be more mad at yourselves? You caused Veronica’s death. And soon, you will cause Aurora and Damien’s death as well.”He stomped on Angelina’s neck hard.Angelina’s eyes rolled to the back, and she passed out.“Should we hide he
Aurora quietly took the crossbow from her back.She pointed the arrow at one of the Lycan soldiers head, narrowing her eyes, holding her breath.The two soldiers had no idea that death was looming.They were still talking.“Looks like our King is really in love with that she-wolf. Don’t you think?”
Damien was certain that he heard Aurora’s voice at some point.But he didn’t know if that was just another of his hallucinations.He had heard her voice all the time during the past few weeks, sometimes during daytime, sometimes in his dreams.She was calling for his help and telling him that she wa
The crowd jeered.Aurora raised her head, “Oh careful with the big words, Elder Robert. I will rub it in your face when you lose to a werewolf.”Elder Robert’s face darkened.Wells and Belle were in the crowd as well.The twins applauded and cheered for Aurora together, “Go Aurora!”“OK!”Elder Robe
Clemente looked stunned, “You don’t want me to follow you? But the King clearly said that—”“The King is not here,” Aurora’s voice turned cold slightly. “And you saw how those people treated me, Clemente. There is no respect. I need to turn this around and convince them that I can be Queen. This hun
“There isn’t!”He chuckled lowly, “Fine. Then what should we do before bedtime?”“You can read to me. There is a novel on the nightstand.”With one arm still wrapped around her shoulder, he reached over and grabbed the book.Turning the book to the page that she folded, he started reading.He had a
Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.But she didn’t let her panic show.“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.“Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you manage
“Hey what are you talking about over there? We need our pitcher,” Westin cried to them in the distance.Aurora laughed and patted on Clemente’s shoulder, “You should get back in there.”The game lasted for hours till the moon moved to the center of the night sky.Eventually stewards had to step in a
He kept going till her angry screams completely faded in the distance.***When Clemente returned to the castle, it was already approaching nightfall.He immediately wanted to report back to Aurora.Yet a soldier by the front gate said that the King needed him in the training field.So he turned and
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
