Lorena POVI ran as fast as my legs could carry me out of my room when I heard the news that Hallie had passed away. I had no idea where I was running to but I was mad at myself for not being able to save her. How could I have allowed her to die just like that when she protected me?‘’why!’’ I stopped running when I reached under one of the trees surrounding the royal home. ‘’how could this have happened when all she did was saved my life!’’I screamed at the top of my lungs and fell to the ground as the tears streamed down my face. Danielle was killed by an unknown person and now, it was Hallie. It could have been me but she took the arrow for me and now, she was dead. Technically, I was responsible for her death because it was all my fault.‘’Lorena,’’ A soothing yet, deep voice sounded behind me and when I turned to face the person behind me, I frowned and sat on the ground under the tree. ‘’I know you don’t want to see me but I just want to make sure you are fine.’’‘’Go away Alist
Fenrir POVI paced in my office wondering if I had done the right thing. After Donna testified against her, I knew that I had to do something to protect her. It was the only way I could make sure that she was not attacked by Angelica and Donna who seems to have something up their sleeves. There was no way, the incidents were coincidental and it was when the contest ended that they come to me and complained. I knew that they had planned something but I was going to make sure that I protect Lorena. After all, she is my mate.‘’I hope you are making the right decision?’’ monster asked me. ‘’if you know that you can’t find a way out of this then it is better you stop whatever you are planning and let her go. You could send her far away where nobody will find her.’’ I should have thought of that and even though Monster’s idea was great. That was not the best way to protect her. As long as they knew that she was under my protection, they would continue to find her until they have gotten ri
Lorena POV"Bring the king here!’’ I shouted at the maid who had brought food into the room where Fenrir had locked me. It was a cell with only a bed, and I despised being confined there, accused of killing Hallie and Danielle. ‘’How could he not trust me?' I yelled, springing up from the bed. I began to pace, unable to believe that Fenrir had thrown me into this cell without hesitation. I didn't want to believe he would betray me. ''Tell the king I want to see him, and I refuse to eat!” I screamed, kicking the food away while hugging my legs. Who would have thought Fenrir would turn against me? ‘'The Alpha King asked me to ensure you eat, my lady,' the maid replied.I moved closer to the cell door and shouted at her, 'Don't you dare tell me what to do! And inform the Alpha King that I'll take my own life if he doesn't come down here.' I threatened the maid, 'I'll make sure I die!' I yelled, scratching the walls in an attempt to intimidate her. However, she remained unperturbed. 'M
Fenrir's POV"Is he the one you suspected?" I asked Draca for the tenth time, ensuring we wouldn't make the mistake of attacking someone else."If you don't believe me, then feel free to come up with your theories," Draca replied. According to him, he had caught a whiff of someone's smile in the royal home, and it reeked of blood. Initially, I didn't want to believe him, but after pleading for his help, he unleashed his full power.I rolled my eyes and glanced to my left, meeting Alistair's intense gaze. He seemed ready to murder me at that moment. Clearing my throat, I pointed forward toward our suspect."If you're lying about the investigation but punishing Lorena, I'll make sure you regret ever being alive," Alistair threatened, mimicking a slit across his throat, signaling that I should prepare for the worst.I smiled at him and nodded in response. "According to the demon's detection, the arrows used to kill Hallie were obtained from here. We need to find the assailant who will le
Lorena POVWhen I heard the door to the cell opening, I jumped to my feet only to meet Fenrir's gaze. My eyes widened as I saw him smiling at me. I wondered what he found amusing after subjecting me to so much suffering for days. Now, he stood before the cell door as if nothing had transpired between us."The Alpha king has decided to pa—" Romeo's voice echoed before I stepped on his foot, silencing him. "What the hell is—" He pushed away from the entrance as I smirked at Fenrir."I can explain and—" Before he could finish, I punched him in the stomach. "Listen, Lorena, I am trying to let you—" I delivered a swift kick to his groin. "Oh goodness, you have incredible strength!"I scoffed and turned to face Romeo, who was glaring at me. "Do you want me to gouge out your eyes?" I yelled at him.Romeo frowned but took a step back from me. "I shall leave now, Your Highness," he bowed his head."You better leave!" I shouted, expecting some reaction from him. However, he merely scoffed and w
Lorena’s POVI watched as she was dragged to the Arena, shackled and filled with tears. My heart ached as I witnessed the transformation of Miss Donna, someone I had always seen as lovely and kind. I never expected her actions to escalate to this point, going to such extremes to prove that humans deserved a chance.A day before her impending persecution, I visited her in her cell, seeking answers as to why she had deceived everyone and committed such acts."I trusted you, Miss Donna. I believed in you. Why did you do this?" I questioned, my voice filled with disappointment. "Why did you kill Danielle and Hallie?""As if you don't already know," she retorted, laughing bitterly. "Every one of you is so consumed by a desperate desire for the throne that you forget about your people and their suffering!" Miss Donna's laughter echoed through the cell. "Because of your foolishness, you almost changed your perception of werewolves. How foolish can you be?" she mocked, chuckling."What are yo
Lorena POV I watched as Miss Donna was tied with ropes to two pillars, her head raised to face the sun, blindfolded. It was a cruel and unusual way to die, but I couldn't bear to see her meet her end just yet. Gathering my courage, I stood up from my seat and approached Fenrir, surprising him with my decision to stand up for someone who had once wanted me dead."What is it?" he asked, clearly taken aback.I bit my lip, unsure of how to express my thoughts to him. I knew it would be impossible to change his mind about executing Miss Donna for her numerous atrocities, but I couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't acting alone. Someone else must have been pulling the strings, someone other than Angelica.There's more to this than meets the eye.Taking a deep breath, I turned my gaze toward Lord Jared, Angelica's father. No one else knew about Angelica's connection to Miss Donna, except for Hallie, who was now dead. They all saw Angelica as a virtuous person who wouldn't harm others,
Fenrir's POVI watched as she headed toward Angelica and slapped her hard across the face. The slap resounded in the arena, and everyone stopped talking at once. I couldn't stop her from attacking Angelica, and even though I appreciated her standing up for herself, I knew all eyes would be on her, and there might be attempts to retaliate against her."What the hell is wrong with you, peasant!" Angelica rubbed her face as she recovered from the slap. "How dare you slap my face!""That's because you're a backstabbing bitch who betrayed your friend out of jealousy! You made it seem like you were in it together, but in reality, you were the mastermind. And to be honest, I wish you had suffered the same fate as Miss Donna!" I couldn't remain silent any longer as I approached them.Murmurs filled the arena, and I despised seeing Lorena in such a vulnerable position."You better shut your human up, unless you want her to be attacked by the wolves," Draca warned, scoffing. "If you want to pro
