Alder pov As we walked out of the car I pondered telling her more about my discovery but I didn't want to trouble her not to mention that if She had not noticed that somebody was betraying her at this point it was quite doubtful that telling her will make much of a difference. Well except for making her worry and suspect everyone that was around her. I believed that if somebody was acting suspiciously enough then she would definitely have brought the person out but whoever was planning this, whoever had gone behind her back was definitely somebody that was close to her and close enough that she would not even come down for a second that this person was responsible for all the killings. I got out of the car and then I opened up the other door for her so that she could step out while I tried not to get too overwhelmed in my thoughts today has been quite depressing going to all those bereaved families who didn't deserve to lose someone like that and it pains me to think that deep
Cassi pov I became so nervous at that moment that I even begun to ration my breathing without realising it and I lived closer this was intentional even though I was already close to his to hear whatever he had to say there was this long awkward silence between the two of us as I waited with my heart in my throat for whatever he was going to say. But my mind was telling me that he was finally going to admit to his crimes maybe it was because of the families that we had visited that had finally pushed him to say the truth that was I was waiting for. Then when he lips finally parted he said something that I was not expecting at all."Have I told you how much I love you today?" The statement took me so off guard and my cheeks immediately went blazing red as I reached up my pants to cover them but it was already too late and he saw them I became so nervous that I even forgot the earlier question that I asked you as he pressed a kiss to my hair it was as if all the thoughts that I had i
Cassi pov"Can we make this quick my husband is waiting for me?" I was surprised to get a text from Hanson or maybe I was just hoping that you would have to text so I could have avoided this conversation with him just a little bit more but then I decided that it was just pissed that we addressed the elephant in the room instead of ignoring it. And to get my good side he had even invited me to a restaurant that both of us often came to together because we both loved the food and usually when we were here we would laugh and smile however when I was looking at him now there was no smile on my face and I hope he know why. Unfortunately he seem mostly oblivious to the fact that I was in a bad mood and just smiled while we ordered our food then after eating I was hoping that we would get into the main issue but he started talking about random things that did not even have anything to do with what had cost him to interrupt me and my husband because I severely doubt that he had waited with
Alder pov As I was waiting for my wife I began to reconsider my decision of telling her the truth or not cuz it's better to make her more aware instead of allowing her to suspect that I was keeping another secret from her because from the looks of things it would be natural for anyone to suspect that I was the one that had arranged to scale his but I was actually innocent meaning that I had to push the blame over to someone else not that I was actually responsible for any of the killings but even so I knew that she was probably troubled and wanted to ask me about this afternoon I seriously wanted from the way she showed affection to her people that she was just constantly sleeping with a man that could have possibly killed several of them as a petty attempt of getting back at her but I guess she was just keeping all of this to myself right now even though I was worried for her. someone was capable of doing something so horrible must have at least a good amount of resources at his or
Cassi pov As I returned already told myself deep in my heart so that I could not keep on lying to myself anymore this was a secret that was eating me over live there was no way that I could be sleeping in the same bed as a man without first confirming that he was not the one that was responsible for the death of a lot of my people and it truly was responsible I decided that the best thing to do was just to end our marriage altogether. it was true that I loved him a lot but I also had a duty to my people that I had to confirm and there was no way that I could just be sleeping with a man that had caused so much pain to my people and if you are being heartless enough to actually give consolation for the people that he had killed their family members without drinking and then they was really a lot to be said about it that was definitely not good and I needed to know the truth so when I return back from its careful Russian steps I made it over to a bedroom but he was no longer there I
Alder pov The night finally came and when I was sure that my wife is sleeping I left the bed and I crept out of the bedroom and went out into the garden so that I will be able to think a little bit better honestly right now I was so confused about everything I thought that's when I told her the truth it will make her mind easier or at least you'll be more alert to whatever dangers were possibly approaching her but instead of making her arrested I only made her to feel trouble and now she was probably suspecting that anybody in her life could be playing with her feelings I'm trying to manipulate her. Honestly I felt so bad because of that I was only trying to make her problems later and this was exactly why I had held back on the truth before because I wasn't sure about how she was going to react and just like how I disrespected things have gone downhill instead of things to be better between the two of us it's felt as if I've created a huge wall because the bottle of feelings that
Cassi pov Last night had been strangely calm between the two of us, okay maybe that word didn't really capture the passion of the night after my husband carried me to bed bridal style and then our primal needs could not be held back anymore especially in the cold of the night. In a flash all of our clothes found themselves pooled on the floor and then the only thing between the two of us were our burning skin in the cold night, I had been holding out on my desires for quite some time now a lot of things attributed to this and I couldn't really pain one down exactly but all of them seem to affect me so whenever you desire seem to be growing inside of me it felt as if it was caused by those emotions that I was feeling with a background and I was not able to initiate or reciprocate anything in bed at one point I was even beginning to think that we would have to sleep on you cuz I thought you like that would have been far too awfully strange. however I wasn't really sure how we goi
Cassi pov Japanese arrange an emergency meeting for all staff that work in the policy of Indian political map that I wanted to because I'm freezing their monthly salary and anybody that serious contention to be expected from this benefit this was the only way that you are funny that everyone would come, in good faith and just like how I had expected it to do so in the servants in the palace crowded the groundhog until there was barely any space left for me to even breathe but I was glad that my plan has worked so well. I will come I mean intention was not to just to increase their salaries I was still going to do it definitely since I had already announced it to them publicly however my main purpose of it was to have my men carefully search through all the faces because I had everyone sorted out according to their hair colour and other physical descriptions that could make it easier to bring out the maid that had given my husband the notes before everybody seemed a little bit con
Cassi pov I had let down my guard more than expected because the two of them soon spotted me and then shifted into the wolf forms and began to chase me. I turned around and ran, my breath becoming ragged with every step I took. Fighting with them was not going to be an easy task. I was already outnumbered and I already knew how capable my former trainer was, I didn't know how strong Danielle really was but I was not able to find out. Unfortunately this was not a choice that I would get to make as I kept turning around to check how close they were to me I wasn't able to focus on everything in front of me and I ended up bumping into a tree, this immediately threw me off guard and while I was struggling to regain myself it's all of them surrounded me and my former trainer pounced on me. "Now why am I not even surprised to see you here, you are always showing up when you are not wanted like a pest…" he said to me in mind link. "...maybe you would have been able to live longer if yo
Cassi pov I had to place my palm over my mouth so that the gasp that was coming out will not be heard by the two of them beyond the bushes standing there was Daniella and the person that was approaching her was someone that I had trusted for so long. My former personal trainer, Hanson by the time he got close enough to her he wrapped his hands around her waist and then he pulled her in for a passionate kiss that lasted for so long until he finally pulled away and both of them looked breathless and their faces flushed while I was struggling not to throw up in the bushes that I was hiding in. "What took you so long?"she asked him."...I have been waiting for you so patiently ,"he ran his fingers through her hair."And I appreciate you for that after all what would I do without you?"The more I looked at them the more I fell into deeper denial that what I was seeing in front of me was reality. I even pinched myself and when I glanced over it was still the same. I had literally expect
Cassi pov I had expected my visit to this place to turn out in many different ways, however I didn't think that I would be having dinner with my husband's ex-wife but I guess I have been in more awkward situations in my life. While the food was being made we sat at the table together and then she poured me a glass of wine quite generously as well. I was staring at the glass suspiciously for a long time without thinking and then she laughed covering her mouth and told me that it wasn't poisoned. I looked up at her with shock covering my facial features but I guess I shouldn't have been blown away that she was able to notice my obvious reaction. "If it makes you feel any better I can switch glasses with you," She said still wearing that smile on her face that appeared to be warm but was so very cold that it made me shiver a little bit. "That will not be necessary…"I said to her, as I took the wine glass from the table gently sniffing out the smell while I tipped the glass arou
Cassi pov I didn't think that I was going to be emotional when I saw my former home again it has been so long even though it had only been two years it felt like it had already been 20 since I last saw it I remember that's the reason I come here was to look for my mate and then I have seen him with another woman even then I decided that it was going to be a good idea to pursue him later on maybe I deserve to the suffering that came to me because I couldn't just open my eyes to see that that man was not meant for me even if it was something that was meant to be it will be at a great cost as well and yet I was not ready to sacrifice that. I was wearing a cloak so that I would not be easily recognised and I could blend into the crowd while I was sure that nobody recognised me I am very sure that I was also not blending into the crowd from how everybody was glancing at me every chance they got looking at me as if I was some kind of exotic attraction that they couldn't comprehend maybe
Alder pov Most of the passing nights, I was dreaming of my wife. I could barely remember where we would meet or what we would say to each other all of that was usually nothing more than a messy blur. All I knew was that she would be desperately trying to kill me and then I would try to stop her convincing her that I was not against her but I was on her side more than anybody else more than the fake friend that was pretending as if he cared about her when it was actually a facade to mask what his real plans were… Just thinking about it made me sick to my stomach that man was around my mate but through the spy that I had working as a double agent he told me that my wife had actually become very close to him and they were not behaving as friends anymore but rather casual enemies to each other. Now this both relieved me and made me even more worried because it meant that he was probably getting closer to his school and so he found a little reason to remain with his facade meaning
Cassi povAs the spice I was sending will not give me any results I decided that I was going to return to my former home and they look for my husband personally. I decided to avoid my family in order to avoid any unnecessary encounters. I still cared about them but maybe it was better than they thought I was dead for now because I was still not ready to meet them after the years that have passed. Despite how well they had treated him at the end of what could have been my life they were the ones that are mostly push me to my limit, if it wasn't by the slimmest of chances that I was actually a princess then I would have just rotted way at the bottom of that cliff and nobody would have been able to find me. My husband always used to tell me that everybody was always desperately looking for me for the longest time, especially my brother. He told me that sometimes he would go out to look for me throughout the years that passed. He told me in one of such occasion it was raining ca
Cassi pov there was a certain heaviness that settled in my heart when I was returning back to the palace knowing that my husband was not going to be there it was the same kind of pain I had every night sleeping in that bed in a long cold and lonely knowing that he was not going to show up. I have loved this man with so much passion that I didn't know how to live my life without loving him without showing him the same endearment but why should not treat me the same way? Why was it so difficult for him to treat me right? Why do he feel so physically drained to do it? Did he think that I enjoyed the suffering that he always put me through? My car was driving through the policy and anyway I felt like I was going back into a kind of prison that has been designed especially for me, I love my position as the Queen and being there for my people and serving them but social situations like this made it so dreadful for me. As I was heading up to my chamber anybody that saw me will s
Cassi povMy jaw fell to the floor when I realized that my parents had been deceived before I could even speak to them. "What did you tell my parents?" I demanded to know and the only thing he did was shrug lightly and said that he only told them the truth and nothing else. just that my parents called my name and they told me that they knew everything that has been happening from my husband's escape the crimes he was supposed to have committed and then my summoning by the high Court. I could hear the disappointment in both of their voices as they were speaking and I could feel it telling me apart just listening to it because this wasn't what I wanted my fingers fell on my lap and began to shake terribly knowing that they were probably disgusted by my actions. the two last people I could rely on you to stop seeing me as your daughter and just see a fool that they had mistakenly placed on the throne, there was a reason that I was intentionally holding back all of this from them
Alder pov "So this is it…" I said anything that both sounded like a question and a statement as I looked across the traitor that was not helping me and he nodded his head frantically."I could have not made any of this up…' he said leaning from his chair, almost standing up at this point."I'm telling the truth.. I'm on your side!" This was a sentence that he had repeated to me practically a hundred times since he supposedly helped me out of the prison."... I'm going to be frank with you,"I said to him, my fingers tapping on the table as I looked at the evidence that he had presented to me."... when all of this settles down he will still be punished for involving yourself with those murderers even if you didn't personally kill anyone," I could see his face immediately drag down to the floor when I said that and his eyes were not able to look towards me again then in a voice that was just a little above a whisper he asked me."... but my family will be safe right? they will not be
