Alpha Kai's POVFor a while, I stared at Carmen with confusion before I could say a word."In my chamber? Why don't you wait for me in the throne room?" I was still trying to be polite. It seemed I had a lot of respect for her than I thought.If not, she didn't deserve any respect after she had deliberately flouted my orders."Grape wine!" She lifted up the jug to my line of sight. "I want to ask about some things and I think the best way is to connect with you, how we did it in those days." She sighed heavily seeing the look on my face.In my mind, I was already wondering how Lorenzo's theory might get manifested. That was the only reason why Carmen would visit me with grape wine."That can be done in the throne room too. You can just wait for me there, I will join you soon." I decided to act and sound like I didn't suspect or find her actions strange."The throne room is not a private place. What about my chamber, just the two of us with grape wine, sharing old experiences?" She bea
Carmen's POV In a cloak, I stood behind a tree in the woods waiting for my contacts to arrive. Actually, I didn't feel like sending the message through anyone. I wanted to see Alpha Mark eye to eye but I had no choice, for now.I heard some rumblings behind me and I quickly turned to look. There, I saw Alpha Mark himself coming towards me, his face like a farmer's that just got rain after years of drought and famine. His lips rubbing against each other like they wanted to merge into one.His ecstatic feeling was contagious but I kept fighting not to be infected with it. He had offended me, he wouldn't be forgiven just by some mere expression. I had grown beyond that. I turned away from him after realizing that I would soon be caught in his deceitful happy mood."I have missed you so much, my beautiful jewel," he said coating his words and voice with sweeteners as always. He walked around to see my face. "You look so angry, I was told there's a problem. I also heard that it had been
Lorenzo's POV An hour earlier.Luckily, the chamber closest to Cassie's chamber was empty and it had become my second chamber, just to keep an eye on her.I was always in the doorway to catch her movement. In the few days that I had started spying on her, I had realized that there was a guard working with her.I still couldn't identify this guard but I knew that we were in great danger if our guards couldn't be trusted. Cassie's case was also beyond something that we should take with levity. Yet, Alpha Kai was taking her side against all odds.Resuming in my position this morning, I caught Cassie sneaking out of the palace wearing a cloak just like the first day she came into our island.I followed her but I retreated after I realized that she was going out of the island. It was beyond what I could handle singlehandedly.Rushing back into the center of the island, I went in search of Vera. She was in her house, refreshing or doing what I could only describe as playful magical session
Alpha Kai's POV I knocked on the door of Carmen's chamber with gentleness. Realizing that she had started holding back and staying indoor a lot, I decided to pay her a visit to cheer her up.There was nothing so bad in attempting to win an old lover's heart and that was what she did. The bad thing was not being remorsed for a bad mistake. She had accepted her mistakes and apologized. She deserved to be punished a little bit but I would waiver it due to our past history together.She opened the door. Seeing me standing with a bright smiling radiant face, she was overwhelmed with awe and I could see the little girl's behavior that attracted me to her in those days, washing over her."Alpha Kai, I'm sorry. No one came to deliver your message to me. I will join you in the throne room right now!" A little bit of fear was visible in her eyes."No one delivered my message because I sent no one to you. I have come to spend some time with you in your chamber." I waltzed into the chamber with
Lorenzo's POV “Let's get back home!” Vera seemed troubled, she turned back and rushed out of the woods while I trailed her.Back at Vera's house, she made her magical drawing and sat down in the center, inhaling deeply with her eyes closed.Feeling clueless and left out, I leaned towards her, muttering, “And what am I supposed to do?” I was the one that detected Cassie's and her evil intentions but Vera had taken over the case without bothering to carry me along.Vera opened one of her eyes, which was somehow filled with anger. “Problem is imminent. We need to be fast before the enemies take us down from within.”Her words were so hot that I felt heat grazing my skin.‘Have I not been warning her all these days? Why did she become so serious all of a sudden?’I wasn't satisfied as I hadn't gotten my question answered. “Four hands are faster than two. I can't just stand and watch!” Closing her eyes back, she shook her head. “I just wanted to check what is coming in the future. You c
Lorenzo's POV I couldn't phantom what had happened. I was sure I heard fighting sounds and noises as blades clashed. The frightened look on Vera's face also affirmed that she heard the same.I looked closely at Alpha Kai's and Teagan's face. There was no hostility in their eyes but they were obviously the one that were fighting.“Did anyone break in?” I asked despite being sure there was no case of break in.“Break-in? You know that's not possible. I was the one that was checking if Teagan had the wherewithal of being an Alpha and I wasn't disappointed,” Alpha Kai replied to me, breathing heavily.There was a trace of blood on Teagan which he quickly wiped off as I fixed my eyes on him.Vera leaned closer to me and whispered.“This is more than what they think. It's a bad omen for a son to raise arms against his father.” She looked into my eyes and shook her head after her whispers.“That's a joke. We are here for a more serious issue, Alpha Kai!” I expected him to send Teagan out wi
Lorenzo's POV Alpha Kai gathered the top wild warriors that were highly skilled in combat, possessing wild strong wolves. There were only twenty of them but they were believed to be stronger than most armies."We have gotten some information that some people are roaming around us, waiting for us to put down our guard and strike us. But they have made a mistake, they have just presented themselves to us on a platter." Alpha Kai's didn't include me in his plan and he wasn't hiding the fact.I understood why he did that but it was not an ideal idea from him.The warriors started grumbling with smiles on their faces. They kept staring at each other, teasing themselves. They seemed certain that they would warn whatever force was coming to them."The information is not detailed so we don't know where they are actually but we have an idea. We are searching every ten miles radius from here, underneath the water, on top of the ground and hanging in the air. We must find them and eliminate the
Carmen's POV"Tell him that the tournament is sealed. It will happen in..." I stopped as I noticed the strange security guard that had refused to give me his name, muttering some words."...In two days' time. Alpha Mark already knows." His lips were tightly as if he had not spoken in days, staring at me waiting for more information from me."Good thing that he is all knowing so he should understand when I ask to be carried along in his plan. What is his next line of action?" I was only interested in knowing that, not for any reason other than feeling like a part of the team and not just a tool."I don't know, my lady." His response was quick and full of meaning, he didn't seem honest."That's why I said, you ask him!" I screamed as I gradually became angry. I now understood how it felt to be a servant that kept obeying orders without knowing the reason why they were made. It was a horrible experience.The guard shook his head to disagree and I felt disrespected by his audacity."I am
