Chapter 55 - A Crucial Choice

“They’re coming.”

One of the soldiers ducked down after uttering those words that hung like a heavy omen — a warning of what was about to come. Hidden in the dense woods, the soldiers composed of both the remaining troops of Maxton and soldiers from King Regulus of the South shifted uneasily as the battle was about to commence in the next few minutes — a battle that would determine the outcome of a bigger war when the time comes. The thick foliage around them provided cover, but it would not be long before they were in the heat of battle. Maxton tightened his grip on his sword, feeling the pulse of the forest around him. Several of them had already shifted to their wolf form, whichever they were more comfortable fighting. But for Maxton, he could not completely trust his wolf in this fight because for his wolf, being a King

    Chapter 56 - On Her KneesThe sound of clashing swords, and growls, and snarls, and howls of pain echoed through the forest, mingling with the desperate cries of the Midnight Pack’s defenders.Tanner leaped into the fray, slamming his blade into the chest of a soldier from Georgia’s force with a brutal force that sent him crumpling to the ground. Blood splattered across Tanner’s face as he glanced around, catching sight of Georgia on the other side of the battlefield. She was a force of destruction, her sword flashing through the air, pouring blood from every tear of flesh. She looked different, very different from the Georgia they had seen before in the Royal Tryst. The once thought to be blind, meek, and weak, and useless werewolf now stood with power, and feared for the destruction that she was casting upon those who were on her way.

Time slowed, and Maxton’s heart pounded as he saw the arrow ready to be loosed straight into Georgia’s vulnerable back.No. Not like this.Georgia, wounded and struggling to stand, was seconds from her death. Deimos, driven by duty and the orders from King Regulus, was determined to carry out his duty, his finger moved and hovered at the trigger, aiming perfectly to hit a more vital area of Georgia’s back.But then, a streak of a wooden spear shot through the air — faster than Maxton could comprehend, and went flying towards General Deimos.Before the arrow could be released to Georgia, General Deimos' body jerked violently as the spear pierced the side of his neck, and blood came out from his lips. His eyes widened in shock, blood pouring from the wound, and his knees buckled beneath him. The crossbow slipped from his fingers,

Gasping for breath, he looked up to see Georgia standing, her hands trembling as she yanked the arrow from her back, blood pouring from the wound. But she did not falter. Her power surged around her like a storm, and despite her injuries, she still commanded fear."Retreat!" Georgia shouted, her voice carrying across the battlefield. Her soldiers, though battered and bloodied, obeyed immediately, pulling back from the village as they followed her into the shadows of the dark woods.As Maxton struggled to his feet, Tanner was already beside him, helping him stand.But as Georgia ran to the woods, she looked back and for a moment, she watched Maxton. Their eyes met, and neither of them spok

The wounded soldiers followed to be treated.“Your Majesty, Georgia and her unit have arrived. But she was unconscious and currently in the infirmary, the doctors already on her.” The news made Harrion stood up from his seat abruptly and Andor followed him out of the office.“What happened?” Andor asked the guard who brought them the news as they strode through the corridors of the palace going straight to the infirmary.

He knows now that we’re not hiding, and he won’t let that go, after what happened to Georgia,” Maxton uttered and sat on one of the chairs in Regulus’ office.“And remind me again what happened to her?” Regulus replied, his brows creased as he looked at him suspiciously.“Tanner shot her with an arrow and it pierced her back, but her psychokinesis power threw him off after she dropped me on the ground. We could’ve had the chance to take her, but she escaped.” Lies. It was a crafted lie, carving out General Deimos out of the picture. And Regulus nodded, believing Maxton.“If Georgia is wounded now, then we should take this opportunity

Sparks flew as metal hit metal, their faces devoid of emotion, and the only sound that escaped their lips was the grunts from the exertion of their movements. The ground beneath them was scorched and torn apart from the sheer brutality of their sparring.Andor turned to the rest of the soldiers scattered across the field. “You are not just soldiers! You are the vanguard of a new era!” he shouted, his voice booming across the training grounds. “Harrion has given you the power to destroy those who stand against us.

The land beyond it, once lush and quiet, was now a warzone in waiting. Maxton stood next to Severus, the son of King Regulus who came in place of his father for this war since King Regulus was already too old to be in a war. Their gaze was fixed on the dense woods while they waited in a clearer ground with their forces, waiting for the arrival of Harrion’s although there were already a number of soldiers hidden in the thicker part of the woods to attack the middle battalion of Harrion when they entered the Southern lands.Maxton clenched his fists. “She’ll be at the front,” he said, more to himself than anyone else. “He’ll send her to break us.” His stomach twisted at the thoug

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

    Chapter 103 - A Unifying Statement From The CrownMaxton froze, at the news, his heart hammering in his chest and his emotions were a swirling mix of hurricane. 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

    Chapter 100 - Dinner & Accusations“Why do I feel like I am going to war?” Georgia muttered, tugging at the hem of her dress as she stood before the full length mirror. 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
