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
Kayden's POVAna took Elsie in an embrace, trying to comfort her."I know sweetheart but she isn't in a condition to decide. We are her family so we can decide for her and if there is a slight chance that we can save both of them, we are going to have to take it no matter the risks. She has to birth the baby now, all we can do is hope and pray that her child will be OK.It's so unfortunate, such an innocent little one having to face such terrible difficulties so early in life. May goddess Selene bless and protect both of them." Ana said, her voice breaking as she apparently tried as much as she could to not break down but instead be a pillar of hope to everyone else."Get the doctor here now. I don't care what has to happen to the child but nothing must happen to Evelyn. If keeping the pregnancy will be a constraint to her treatment then she'll have to give birth to the baby now. Though the child is innocent, it'll have to face these difficulties and survive if Evelyn was truly meant
Special Chapter: Kayden's POVI arrived at the Grand Hall quickly and when my eyes caught sight of Alpha Turner with Margallo standing beside him, I growled viciously and lunged towards him, ready to pounce on and devour him.Richard must have spotted me right before I attacked and thus, he shifted quickly and lunged towards me, directly blocking my attack and almost making me lose my balance.I glared at him lethally, expecting him to get out of the way. Alpha Turner shifted backwards probably out of fear while Margallo screamed before covering her mouth with her hands."What is wrong with you? You're behaving like a wounded animal!" Richard growled."Because I am, he hurt my mate, my beloved, do you expect me to let him go free? I'll kill him no matter what, for putting Evelyn through so much pain. She's in there right now fighting for her life and the life of her pup as well. And you expect me to stand back with folded hands?No, I won't. Not this time. I've ignored everything they
Special Chapter: Kayden's POVRichard and I arrived at the entrance of the room, where the others were still waiting in apparent trepidation.Richard went straight to Elsie and took her in a warm hug, much of which she relaxed into. I feel sorry for her, she's been having health issues lately and when it seems like she's finally recovered, this just had to happen, putting a new type of strain on her."Is it over? Has Evelyn given birth?" I questioned, already knowing the answer but still daring to ask."No. The doctor says she hasn't even gone into labor just yet and it's already been a few hours but she's been in pain all this while, probably due to the poison and though we can't hear her screams of pain, we all know just how much pain she must be in right now. I just wish I could take some of it away, she really doesn't deserve this." Elsie said and broke into a fresh round of tears.I had never seen her so sad and petrified before. Richard tried his best to comfort her. "It's alrig
Kayden's POV"What do we do? Poor Evelyn has no one from her family here and her mate is even out of the question. He was so evil to her and even if we could actually contact him, what's the guarantee that he'll be willing to help?" Ana blurted tiredly."You're wrong." I said and everyone's eyes were on me once more. "Evelyn doesn't need that bastard anywhere near her, haven't you seen how afraid she is of him? And she's not alone, she never has been and she never will be. She has all of us and she has me. I've always felt that we have a special bond right from the first day I met her. I don't know why we turned out to have different mates but I'm certainly sure that we're made for each other. So I'm going to give my blood to Evelyn." I said, the determination crystal clear in my voice."But you already have a mate Kayden and your mating ceremony was supposed to take place today." Richard said and I couldn't stop myself from glaring at him."Do you really think I want anything to do w
