I wake up in the middle of the night with a startle, I try to sit up as gently as possible and take a deep breath. I realize I must have had a nightmare and I try to recall what it's about but my memory fails, I can't seem to remember anything from the dream and I instantly conclude that it couldn't have been a nightmare about Zephyr.I've never forgotten a nightmare about Zephyr no matter how hard I try so it seems that since I can't recall this one, it definitely couldn't have been of Zephyr and thus, not worth my worry.I shiver slightly as the wind blows through my open curtains, instantly making the room chilly. I must have forgotten to close the windows again. I pick up an extra blanket and wrap it around my body until I'm feeling snug again.I sit back for a bit, feeling extremely lazy but when I'm sure I've gathered enough strength, I get up from the bed with some difficulty and move towards the window with the blanket still wrapped around me.I grab hold of the window panes,
While I'm busy contemplating what to do, Margallo and Jared hug once more before Jared darts away into the darkness, leaving Margallo standing not too far from my window.She wraps her scarf around her head once more, takes a look around before taking her leave, probably to try to get back into the palace without anyone noticing.Since she's acting so suspicious, I doubt that she used the door. She probably passed through a window or something.I wondered what to do in this situation. 'What do we do Tara? We can't let her get away with this, she's planning something big and we need to stop her before she executes it.' I told Tara and she nodded."You're right, she's definitely up to no good. That double faced cheater. Kayden certainly deserves someone better. I suggest we try to follow her, we'll definitely find something if we do. Let's expose her once and for all and also get revenge for trying to cause harm to us and our pup." Tara said with determination.'Honestly, I like this ne
I get up early the next day and perform my morning routine, it's not really easy due to my pregnancy but I've quickly learned to adjust. I've been through worse in the past and this surely is nothing in comparison to that. A huge difference between both situations being that after all the suffering I was going to get the greatest gift of all, my baby but during those times, I got nothing but deep physical and emotional scars. I try to shake off the thought.I still do get nightmares of Zephyr, well, sometimes and I get scared when I have certain flashbacks of what I went through in the past but it's not as severe as it was the first time. Kayden has advised me to go for therapy and I've even met the doctor. She seems like a really nice person and I know I have nothing to worry about.I've decided I'll go for therapy after I have my baby, because for now, I've got important matters to handle and enemies to unveil.Breakfast is the usual and goes on normally because Margallo decides to
For the next few days, I keep an eye on Margallo and try to spy on her but nothing is achieved. She'd stopped leaving her windows open and she's always in her room most of the time.During the times when she's not in her room, I go in to check. I've checked about three times but have been unable to find any letter or incriminating evidence. I was almost caught on my third try and if not for Goddess Selene's intervention, I would surely have been.On that day, Margallo had just bumped into her room unceremoniously, she would have caught me if she'd only looked into the room but as soon as she was about to, her name was called and she left the room again. I immediately took the chance and left. It happened two days ago and the incident left me a bit shaken and I don't feel like going into her room anymore but I don't really have a choice.Today is Margallo's birthday and as I remember correctly, she's going to carry out her evil plans today. I pace up and down my room before eventually
My throat went dry as I read through the contents of the letter. The letter simply stated the huge conspiracy that was supposed to take place if I didn't stop it. The letter was addressed to Margallo's boyfriend, Jared and it stated that she was going to kill Alpha Richard today.The sentence came as such a rude shock that I had to read it multiple times just to be sure that I wasn't seeing things. I had known Margallo was busy plotting things but never in my wildest dreams had I expected something like this. Such a huge plot against the Alpha."It's a huge shock, yes, but won't you read the rest of the letter?" Tara asked, managing to snap me out of my shell shocked state.'Yes.' I agreed and proceeded to read further. Not only was it written in the letter that she was going to kill the Alpha today, it also stated how she was going to do it.The letter revealed that she would poison the drink that her father, Alpha Turner, was going to present to Alpha Richard as a toast.Of course,
I arrive at the Grand Hall just in time and catch sight of Alpha Richard with a glass of wine in his hand.Luna Elsie is seated beside him looking a bit tense and I can understand why. It must be her sixth sense kicking in, through the telepathic bond that is sealed after being marked and mated. Both can feel it when the other is in danger.This special connection doesn't exist between Zephyr and I because though he forcefully mated with me, he never imprinted his mark on me and besides, he did reject me, breaking whatever bond we might have shared. I try to shake the thought away, deciding it better to focus on the issue at hand.I look to the other side and see Alpha Turner also holding up a glass of wine, looking like he was just about to make a toast. Margallo was seated beside her father, she was beaming with smiles, probably excited about how well her "brilliant" plan was going. Well, not on my watch.I push through the crowd just in time as Alpha Turner proposes his toast."I p
Special Chapter: Kayden's POVI felt tense, my knuckles turning white as I held on to the chair I was sitting with all my might. I almost couldn't believe what I was hearing. Evelyn had accused Alpha Turner of poisoning Richard's drink. Somehow, I was confident she would try to stop my mating ceremony and I'm happy she's giving it some effort but this accusation was totally way off.I wanted to believe it was false, that she was just making things up so that the mating wouldn't take place but something deep down told me she was telling the truth and urged me to believe her.I shook my head a bit, trying to dispel the heavy feeling that was beginning to way in my heart."Silence." Richard demanded and everywhere went quiet once more. The noise that had taken over the banquet hall dying down instantly."Poisoned? This mute girl is standing here and accusing me of trying to poison you and you're letting her? I've never felt so insulted in my life. I never would have come here if I knew I
Special Chapter: Kayden's POVI carefully laid Evelyn on the bed while the doctor soon arrived with her medical kit and quickly began to examine her . Elsie and Ana came into the room but only stood close to the door, not venturing to come nearer.I know how hard it must be for them but it's also difficult for me to see the one that I love in such a terrible state.The doctor turned to us with a sad look on her face before dropping the bombshell."I'm sorry but I doubt I'll be able to save her and her child. Her condition is very critical. The poison is spreading very quickly. I need to administer an antidote as soon as possible before it spreads any further and kills her." The doctor revealed but I didn't let the news dishearten me. Instead it made me know that there was at least still some hope but no matter how little the chances are, I'll take it."What antidote? What do you need? We have to save her at all costs." I told the doctor."I have the antidote here with me. It's simply
