Chapter 30 - Tip the Balance Scale

“The Assembly of Sovereigns is fast approaching,” Queen Mother Poline began, her voice tinged with a mix of authority and impatience as she entered the grand hall of the palace. King Maxton, standing by the large arched windows, turned to face his mother, his expression unreadable. The tension between them was evident, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken expectations that had hung over them for years.

“You must have chosen a Luna by now,” Poline continued, her tone hard and insistent. Her eyes, sharp and discerning, searched her son’s face for any sign of defiance. “It is not just about tradition, Maxton. The pack needs stability, and you need a partner to rule beside you. The Council will not wait.”

Maxton’s jaw tightened, his gaze flickering with a mix of frustration and resignation. “Mother, I understand the importance of the Council,” he replied, his voice controlled, but there was an undercurrent of weariness in his tone. “But the situation

Revealing Georgia’s existence at the Assembly could solidify your position, and show the others that you have a powerful ally by your side. But it could also provoke an attack, a direct challenge.”The room fell into a contemplative silence, the only sound the crackling of the fire in the hearth. Maxton’s mind raced as he weighed the options before him. He had always been a ruler who prided himself on his strength, and his ability to make tough decisions. But this… this was different. Georgia was different. He could not make hasty decisions without considering all options. He must prevent any loopholes in his plans for Georgia, and minimize the risk as much as possible. “She is not just a weapon,” Maxton said quietly, more to himself than to Tanner. “She is… more than that.”Tanner watched him carefully, sensing the internal conflict

    Chapter 32 - Identified DrugThe night was deathly still, save for the frantic footsteps echoing through the corridors of the manor. Tanner ran first to inform the doctors and nurses to prepare while Maxton moved swiftly, almost running with Georgia’s limp form cradled in his arms. Her blood stained his hands, a few drops landing on the marbled floor and creating a trail and some servants stopped in their tracks, watching with evident worry on their faces. And it was their first time to witness their King in a torn state. The powerful, unshakable leader now found himself grappling with emotions he had not allowed himself to feel in years.As they burst into the manor’s private medical facility, Maxton’s voice cut through the silence like a blade. “Get the doctors! Now!” His command was laced with a mixture of desperation and authority, a tone that left no room for hesitation.The medical team, well accustomed to the urgency of their duties, immediately sprang into action. Georgia was

    Chapter 33 - It Has BeganThe grand conference hall of the Assembly of Sovereigns was a unique blend of old world elegance and modern sophistication. High ceilings adorned with crystal chandeliers illuminated the room, casting a warm glow over the polished marble floors and intricately carved wooden walls. Long tables, made of dark mahogany, were arranged in a circular fashion, each place marked with a flag representing the different regions and royal families.The royals began to arrive, each entrance accompanied by a wave of murmured voices and the subtle click of heels on the marble floor. Their attire was as varied as their personalities, a reflection of the traditions and cultures of their respective regions. The Alpha King of the Northern Region, Janoer, entered first, dressed in a sleek black suit with a fur lined collar, his presence commanding as always. His guards followed closely behind, dressed in uniforms of deep forest green, the emblem of a wolf’s head embroidered on th

The room was smaller, more private, furnished with dark wood, rich tapestries, and an air of solemnity that matched the gravity of their discussion. The heavy drapes were drawn, casting the room in a dim light that seemed to mirror the mood of the gathering.Maxton paced back and forth, his usually composed demeanor strained under the weight of the situation. Tanner stood by the door, his posture tense, while the advisors—three of them, all seasoned and trusted—sat at a round table, their faces drawn with concern.Maxton said, his voice edged with frustration. “Who attacked us?”“I couldn’t Mark. The connection was interrupted on his end earlier before I could ask for more information.”Mark had made a frantic call to Tanner earlier just before communication was lost, leaving them with more questions than answers. The communications division was also under attack in the pal

    Chapter 35 - Realization RevelationThe night was thick with tension as Maxton, Tanner, and their three advisors drove through the winding roads of the Western Region, heading towards the safe house that was connected through a series of underground tunnels of the palace and the King’s manor, a kilometer or more distance that the survivors from the attack had run to escape.As they approached the safe house, hidden deep within the dense forests on the edge of the Western Region’s borders, the car's headlights cut through the darkness, illuminating the thick canopy of trees that concealed the fortress. The hidden sanctuary had been a closely guarded secret for generations since built during the reign of Maxrem Bergmont, a place of last resort in times of dire need. Tonight, it had become a refuge for those who had survived the brutal assault on the palace and manor.The safe house called Bergwire was a grand structure, its stone walls blending seamlessly with the rocky landscape. It was

Andor became his right hand man and the soldiers and people in the palace and the King’s private manor were taken as prisoners if not dead.The former Alpha King Lucus and Luna Poline died in the battle, leading their armies and fighting for the pack. They were not prepared, it was a surprise attack, one that no one had expected. There were no signs. The guards that were stationed at the borders near the middle region where the armies of Harrion had entered were drugged and controlled to be there so that the army could penetrate the borders easier, without sending an alarm to the palace. Harrion and Andor planned it very well, they knew the ins and outs o

To stay in the region was risky, there was a huge chance that Harrion and Andor Bergmont knew about the safe house, but even if they were initially unaware of it, someone in the palace could be compelled, forced to spill the information about it. They could not take that risk. Hence, the moment King Regulus of the South had responded positively to their plea for help, he immediately sent assistance to their location after several exchanges of messages. Tonight, they will be transferred to the Southern region through the borders where the Haonen River passes, several boats were waiting for their arrival.“You Majesty, you should go now for your safety, Harrion’s men are already closing in the area, sooner or later, they will

Maxton, Tanner, and the remaining survivors from Bergwire stayed vigilant, their eyes scanning the dense forests that lined the riverbanks. The journey had been tense, every rustle of leaves, every ripple in the water, causing their hearts to pound with worry as Harrion’s men had probably stormed the Bergwirer by now, finding evidence that they had sought referred in that house for a few days after the attack. But now, as they neared the Southern Region’s border, a sense of cautious relief began to settle over the group.When the boat finally docked, the survivors disembarked quickly, their footsteps almost silent on the wooden pier. They were met by a group of Southern Region soldiers, their uniforms crisp, their expressions stern but welcoming. At the forefront was King Regulus, his presence as commanding as eve

The midwife calmly gave quiet instructions to her as she worked to support her deliver the baby. Maxton was at Georgia’s side, holding her hand, and it was evident in his face both awe and concern for his mate.“You’re doing incredible,” he whispered in her ears, reminding her that he was there for her. His hand gripped hers tightly, as she squeezed back, greeting her teeth as she listened to the midwife. But she managed to respond to him. Georgia managed a small smile through the haze of pain and exhaustion. “I’d like to see you try this and then call it ‘incredible,’” she retorted.Maxton chuckled, though his laughter was laced with nervous energy. “I would fail miserably. That’s why I’m right here, cheering you on.”The midwife glanced up. “It’s time, Your Majesty. One more push.”Georgia closed her eyes, summoning every ounce of streng

It was elegant, shimmering with fine threads of silver and gold, symbolizing her role as the bridge between strength and grace. She met Maxton’s gaze, her heart pounding beneath her ribs as she replied. “Ready or not, there’s no turning back now.”A faint smile tugged at his lips as looked at her with huge pride and affection. “You’ll be magnificent,” he said, his thumb gently brushing the back of her hand.The sound of the crowd beyond the doors grew louder, a mixture of excitement and anticipation filling the air. The Royal Master of Ceremonies stepped forward, nodding at Maxton and Georgia. “It’s time.”The doors swung open with a resonant creak, revealing the throne room, transformed

Her fingers brushed against the petal of a rose as she walked slowly beside Maxton.“Careful,” Maxton said softly, his hand instinctively moving to support her elbow when she stumbled with her still weak knees. His gaze never left her, he was concerned at her still recovering condition and with her carrying their child. However, despite his worries, he was supportive of her and never prevented her from venturing outside the safety and security of the manor. Today, they were in the palace as she craved for a new view and had been bored staying in the manor.“I’m fine,” Georgia replied with a faint smile, glancing up at him. “I need this.” She looked back at the path ahead which was an aisle of garden flowers.Maxton’s eyes flickered to her hand that instinctively brushed her abdomen, and his expression softe

She immediately realized that it was Maxton given the sudden rush of thrumming in their mate bond, making her feel more alive despite what she had gone through.“Georgia,” Maxton uttered, surprised at the sudden movement of her hand that he was holding. He leaned closer to see her with his filled with relief.She blinked, her throat dry, her lips parting as if to speak, but no sound came. Before she could try again, Maxton was already pressing a glass of water to her lips. “Here,” he murmured gently, tilting the glass just enough for her to sip.The cool water soothed her parched throat. “What happened?” she rasped with her voice weak still weak.“You were poisoned in the restaurant.” he said, “But you’re safe now and that’s all that matters.”She frowned slightly, trying to piece together fragment

The perpetrator is being transported to the palace as we speak.”His jaw tightened as he exhaled in relief yet contained fury. “Bring them directly to the throne room. I want this handled swiftly.”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Maxton hung up, tossing the phone onto his desk. For Georgia. For their unborn child. For the stability of the kingdom. This would not be swept under the rug like some minor infraction, it would be a lesson, a warning to anyone foolish enough to challenge the Crown.“Tanner,” Maxton barked, his Beta standing at attention by the door.“Yes, Your Majesty?”“Prepare the throne room. I want this dealt with in a manner befitting the gravity of the crime. And make sure word spreads, let the public know justice is being served.”Tanner nodded sharply. “Right away.”~~~At the far end of the throne

He was happy, delighted to have a baby, an heir to the throne, but at the same time, he was hell worried about his mate and unborn child’s status."Pregnant?" The word barely left his lips, as he was in a mix of disbelief and shock. His hand instinctively gripped the back of the nearest chair, tightly until his knuckles were white. "She's pregnant?" he repeated, as if he could not believe what was happening.Dr. Reid nodded to confirm. "Yes, Your Majesty. We just confirmed it moments ago. It’s very early, around six weeks, I’d estimate."A cold wave of panic and anger surged through Maxton, his breath coming faster as his mind raced. "And the poison?" he demanded, trying to calm down."What about the poison? Is it harming her… or the baby?"Dr. Reid’s lips pressed into a thin line. "That’s what we are currently working to deter

    Chapter 102 - Poisoned and PregnantThe sound of Maxton’s footsteps echoed in the long corridor outside the manor’s medical wing as he went back in to check on her. His jaw was clenched, and his hands were balled into fists at his sides. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Georgia, fragile, and pale, her body seizing uncontrollably in his arms. Maxton entered the room and did not bother to wait for the doctor to call him. “What’s happening now? Is she stable?”The doctor met Maxton’s panicked gaze. “She’s stable for now,” he said, pulling off his gloves. “But the situation is serious. There are clear signs of poisoning. We’re running more tests to determine the exact substance.”Maxton felt a cold rage settle over him, masking the fear that threatened to overwhelm his thoughts. “Poison,” he repeated. “How?”The doctor sighed, gesturing toward the room where Georgia lay unconscious. “Most likely ingested. Whatever it was, it acted slowly, giving us enough time to intervene. She is o

Her face displayed a combination of grief and fury, while her eyes darted past him to Georgia. “You killed my husband! You took everything from me, and now you expect us to bow to you?” she snarled.Georgia’s breath caught, her chest tightening as if the air had been sucked from the terrace. She could not move, couldn’t speak. Her hands trembled in her lap, hidden under the table as she clung to the edge of her seat, frozen with the

Her reflection stared back at her — a woman in a sleek, deep green dress that hugged her figure without being overly revealing. The gown was elegant and modest enough that she did not feel completely out of place, yet the way it highlighted her curves made her feel exposed in a way she was not used to. Her chest felt tight, her stomach twisting, and every part of her wanted to bolt back to the comfort of her chambers, but she stood there feeling foreign and unfamiliar at the girl staring back at her. “You look stunning,” Maxton complimented from behind, making her turn around to face him.She glanced toward the door, finding him leaning casually against the frame. His tailored shirt, left slightly unbuttoned at the collar, and dark slacks gave him an air of effortless sophistication. Yet it was not the clothing that c
