Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Seventy-seven
**GWEN**By 4:15 pm, I was properly dressed in a burgundy knee-length body con gown to match with a peach slight stiletto heel. I sat in front of the mirror as Kora adorned my hair with silver pins in a simple chignon style."Has there been any meeting these past three days, Kora?" I asked her, watching her move from the mirror.She shrugged, her eyes meeting mine steadily. "None, your higjness. For now, there won't be much meetings until after the games.""Okay..." Is she lying? If not, why would Ashton have those bags and look that way? He had a week load of stubbles on his face and his colour was pale, not to mention his hair and clothing. "Besides, with the ball of appeasement approaching, there are bound to be several meetings, most of which would run through the night. So, the elders are trying to preserve their energy for it. Even the King."Ball of appeasement? I've never heard of that. Instead of asking her-which would seem awkward- I would rather ask Abby later. "Where has

**GWEN**"I will come to check on you later, Gwen," Tyler said as he dropped us off at the palace, totally ignoring Abby by my side. I don't understand why they can't seen to comport, and right now, ‘someone’ might be watching from ‘somewhere’. My eyes itched to look upwards at the numerous windows, but managed to control myself.I clasped my right hand around Abby's left wrist when she made to leave and then I leaned into Tyler's car and whispered, "Hey, you need to come out and...you know, even though a goodbye."Abby snatched her wrist away with a loud gasp. "Ohmg, I can't do that. Think about Williams!""I can't do that." Tyler simply declared. I shook my head impatiently, letting out small curses. "Do you guys realize Ashton might be watching right now from his window up there? Don't forget that was how he knew I was out this morning with Ty."To external eyes, they wouldn't notice, but me that was closer, I saw Abby stomp her feet, plastering on a faux sweet smile as she took a

**GWEN**"H-how did you know about him?""About the man you cheated on me with?""Ashton!"He smacked his hands together, stood up and in a flash, grabbed me by my forearm and ripped me off the couch. I struggled but he didn't yield as he proceeded to the bed where he shoved me on. I bounced off to a sitting position, my heart pulsating. How did he know about Julian?Is he digging into my profile or what? Does he know about my shameful background?While my head swirled with questions, he strolled off to the table and grabbed a bottle of oil. The main bottle of my lavender. He went on one knees once more, pouring a little portion into his palm and rubbing them together. "I told you to answer my questions.""I-I don't know what you are talking about.""Oh..." He clutched my right leg and yanked forward. I winced, eliciting a mild cry. It was so painful."You know, that day when I heard you say his name in your sleep, I really didn't care. I knew werewolves are not trustworthy, and knew

**ASHTON**"They're fucken the same!" I downed the third glass of Scotch for the evening as fury sizzled through my body at the thought of Gwendolyn. I was close to believing she was different, that perhaps, she wasn't like Emma after all. And for the second time, I survived being fooled by the same breed of canines.Indeed, I fell into her trap. Like I did to Emma. Yesterday after I tried to persuade her not to go with my sister on the outing with her mate, I was certain she was going to agree. She wanted me. I knew that. I saw it in the way she looked at me, endured all the things I did to her, craving for my absolute acceptance. Unknown to me, she was a snake, cunningly toiling hard, waiting to strike at the right time. It wasn't up to an hour later, and I saw her leaving the palace dressed like a whore. One would think she was the one whose mate was taking out. That mutt even came to pick them. And I fucken saw the way he looked at her."Stupid rogue!" I squeezed the glass betwe

**GWEN**Leaving the palace was a premium mistake which I was to learn later that night after crossing the great palatial gates. Agreed, I was furious at Ashton for the cruel things he said to me. It wasn't the first time he was crossing the line, but for goodness sake, I felt like it was because he knew I was desperate that he was intentionally doing these things. Knowing fully well I was too handicapped to act.I detoured into the forest with my bag, having nowhere in mind to go. In the forest, I wandered until I arrived at a small stream, which by now was beginning to rouse from sleep.By this time, the sky’s radiant smile started peeking through the dense cloud, aiding to give me a clear direction of the pathways."Phew.” I dumped my bag with an audible sigh and followed suit on the floor. The sharp grasses protested under me, letting out a loud squeak. I ignored them. Not them too.With my knees pulled up, I placed my chin on it and simply stared at the water, in blankness. I cou

**ASHTON**Women are selfish. I have come to know that ever since Emma broke my heart. Yet today as I mounted Striker and thrust the stirrups forward to make him gallop fast out of the palace, I knew that Emma's selfishness was nothing compared to that of Gwendolyn. She couldn't have chosen a better time to do this than the period of our game. A time when we are expected to be at the arena cheering our people on to show our maximum support. And now I couldn't even be there, all because of her irrational behaviour. I didn't think she could carry out her threat of leaving after yesterday. In my head, those were mere words uttered in the hit of anger, in addition to the knowledge that she had nowhere to go.She told me herself. This place was her only hope. So where in hell did she run off to?"Yah!" I pulled the reins, having no idea where I was heading but somehow I had an inkling that if Gwendolyn couldn't be found anywhere around the palace and even the so-called arena she lied to

**GWEN**I lingered a little until I was certain Ashton was gone hence I opened the compartment I was hidden in and climbed out. Tyler still standing by the door apparently confused, swerved around at the sound and exhaled in relief when he saw me. "I thought as much!" He earned nearer. "How was it possible he didn't even know you were there? His Lycae could have sniffed you out.”I dusted my hands and stood erect. I was shocked too. The compartment I hid was directly below the wardrobe. It was a last moment decision to try to hide from my irksome mate.When I heard him ascending, I had no choice but to seek a place to hide. I couldn't leave the room knowing he could easily catch me. I also knew my scent was profound in the room and gathered he would know I was here. So, I opened the window as a form of distraction to make him think I left. Then, rummaging around, I found the compartment and thanks to my smaller physique-compared to them-I was able to fit in.I sighed and sat on the

**ASHTON**"Why are you coming this late to the games?" I asked my sister who was twenty minutes late to the arena. Today the ladies from the Sarokee Loop dancing group were going to perform. The Sarokee was an ancient dance of the goddess performed mostly before the Redmoon to appease the goddess. It was believed that this dance pleased the goddess so much that that night, those who witnessed it were instantly blessed with whatever be their hearts desires. I used to believe. But now sitting here watching it alone without my mate by myself, it made me question if truly these speculations were true."I woke up late,” She answered, sitting in her seat and giving Williams that familiar smile I have noticed was reserved for only him. If not that she already found her mate, I would surely suspect she and my Beta.I used to, to be honest. I didn't want to consider it deeply because I trusted Williams would confide in me if he ever felt that way towards her. And of course, he wouldn't even d
