AUTHOR'S POV The twins returned to the palace, Kalife was supposed to go home while they handled things from there, but before Kalife left she gave the secret book to Liam to give the Alpha.Now Emily was sitting on the bed, Lucien lying on her lap and sleeping. He didn't say anything about the boys, she did not ask too, because she knew he would say it when the time was right.She helped Lucien position himself on the bed, so he could sleep very well without straining his neck. She lay awake beside him on the bed, not because she was thinking about anything. She was holding the book the boys gave to their father when they came back and was wondering what was in it that made it so secretive.She flipped open the first page, there was an inscription “WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PALACE’’. Emily's attention was drawn Immediately. She started flipping through the rest of the pages and more words began to surface. She raced back to the first page and began to read it again, out loud but quietly.
AUTHOR'S POVShe looked, it was Lucien. He was not wearing a smile at all. She already understands that looks, so she reframed from upsetting him immediately. “Can you stop reading this crap? Stop corrupting your mind.” Lucien's deep voice showed clear upset.“Am sorry. I was going to give it to you.”Emily apologized almost whispering.“Never mind.” Lucien sat up and got off the bed, took the book to a box where he kept files he didn't want people to access.He kept it deep inside, locked it, so no one would be able to access it anymore, and returned to her.He kissed her forehead and then the tip of her nose. She allowed him to pull her into his embrace and cuddle her in the bed when he was back on the bed.Emily feared to ask but she wanted to know if he knew about it. She wanted to know so badly but was afraid of how Lucien would take it if she asked. Lucien noticed her.“Don't hide it. What do you want to know? I will answer anything.” Emily gulped, his voice did not sound encour
MALCOLM'S POV I woke up as sore as hell, I could not even move my hands. I returned to lying on the bed. “What the hell did I do last night?”I tried to remember but my memory was hazy. In my confusion, someone opened my door and walked in. He chuckled immediately after he saw me...“You look damn fine today.”I scoffed at the mockery in his voice.“It still doesn't make me as hideous as Nathaniel.” I laughed my ass off for a while but he didn't join me. No biggie, Nobody ever gets me anyway.He came close to me and helped me stretch my arms and legs and I could finally get out of bed.“Thank you, Tristan, I needed that.”. I thanked him. Continuing the stretch myself.“Remind me again what I did yesterday because I cannot remember,” I said to him, already used to his silence around me. He raised his eyebrows and then started laughing. “You are a madman, Malcolm. You are sick in the head. Yesterday, you raised a group of revolvers that went rogue, men, women, and children.
EMILY'S POV I stood on the top of the castle walls looking down to the modern city, cars honking and beta littering the streets. The lights from the lamps that light the night outside, come in to signify that night was all too near. Standing here and watching the city I administered over was supposed to be a delight but I felt so incomplete and unable to enjoy it at all.Lucien left with Lucas and Liam three days ago but it seems it has been ten years since they left because I'm alone in the palace. I missed them. He took Abel with him too. Andy was still on suspension so basically, I was alone. Hurrying footsteps came to my hearing, interrupting my thoughts. My eyes went to the left, waiting for the owner of the footsteps to show his face. The man came into view immediately. He was in the robe of the council. He looked quite upset. I heaved, looking away. “Another call for a council meeting. No wonder Lucien hated council meetings. Any small thing,they would call for council meet
EMILY'S POV Murmurs spread across the whole room immediately. I suddenly felt weak inside. The laborers had never revolted before. Not because of fear but because they were treated quite well by Lucien indeed. They were what he used to show the people that he was a king, kind to all. The laborers have become the yardstick for measuring the goodness of Alpha Lucien.If they revolted it meant they were saying that Lucien instilled fear in them to speak up about his hypocrisy but now he is absent they have found their voice to speak. It was ridiculous but for some reason, people took it all too seriously in this kingdom.“Take me there. Let me see the revolters.”I left where I stood, approaching the wolf guard. Trying to hide my frightened spirit. “My Luna, the matter is not for you to act on at the moment. We have to check the status quo and inform you first.”. The wolf chief stopped me with his words. I heaved softly making sure none of my enemies in the room would tell that I was
EMILY'S POV I’m not ready to react because I don't want more drama than the existing one, I just looked at him and looked away. Not that I did not know what to do but I was not offended by anything he said. I was the enemy at the moment so the terms were appropriate.“Now please let's go.” The chef said finally. The crowd followed him. I watched them all leave with a plain face.Immediately they were all gone. I heaved a sigh of relief, catching myself before I fell. I lied about the food part, I did not want to get a big tummy in the fitting dress so I skipped breakfast and lunch.“My lady, are you alright? Have you eaten today?” Chief Wolf noticed the issue immediately and questioned me.I flashed him a cool simple smile and he knew immediately that I was pretending.“My lady you need to…”“No, I made a promise, I have to stand by it, don't worry about me.” I hated him.“What I need from you is to find the one spreading that hate. Remove him from their group fast and make sure no on
(SIDE STORY)AUTHOR'S POV The palace doors were opened and Gene walked in slowly, the door closing behind him. His eyes lay on a spectacle sitting in grandeur upon a golden throne playing with a golden crown. He stopped in front of the seat of power and knelt before it, paying his respects. “My alpha, your loyal servant Gene greeted you.”“Rise, I am getting tired of all these greetings before the news. Get straight to the point.” Alpha Leo said in his deep lazy voice, which still left fear in everyone's bones.“The mission you sent me has been completed. The whole action has taken place and the Luna was certified fitting in all categories before the area was exited.” Gene reported.“That's great. That is amazing news. How did You get her to agree to the other rounds which led to the actual thing finally happening? “ Alpha Leo asked with a bit of excitement in his voice.“She didn't agree she insisted on being touched by no other man. I had to drug her all the time. I apologize.” G
(SIDE STORY)AUTHOR'S POV Alpha Leo wrapped the baby tightly. He looked at his wife. “Did you plan this with him? Did you agree on this with him? Does that mean you never loved me before? Was all your show of love fake? How long have the two of you been in this relationship?” He chuckled at his ridiculousness, asking a dead person questions. How dumb but he was still hurt. He wanted it to be with a nameless person so it would just be a quick fix to solve a problem but she made it someone close to him and that boy for that matter. It shows she liked what she did. She should have hated it and always been pained by the fact that she was touched by another man. She should not have selected and enjoyed it. And I'm sure he did it many times with her. He said he drugged her but it was a lie, which means she wasn’t drugged she lay there voluntarily.The thought of Gene naked and Maylee undressed, her arms open for him to climb in. How she did all the naughty things she did for him with
