A bird perched on Alden's window chirping loudly drawing him out of his thoughts.
Alden got up and went to close the window. The bird flew away and he saw a note.
"You're next."
Blood drained from his face. What the hell?
He remembered the last warning.
"Your enemy is close to you" and Brendan dropped dead.
Was the anonymous person the culprit?
He closed the window sharply.
He visited the dungeon the next day. He did a thorough search maybe to see a pointer as to what was used to kill Brendan.
He asked to see the rope Brendan used to kill himself.
The guards pitied him. They thought he wanted something to remind him of Brendan.
They gave it to him.
When he got back to the palace, he inspected the rope. It didn't look like someone tied it in a hurry. It didn't look stretched for long.
How did Brendan get a
Reagan was shocked to see Cisca up when she came into the room.She intended to clean her up with a wash cloth.Cisca had been burning up last night.She screamed and went to hug Cisca tight.Cisca winced, Reagan's scream assaulted her ears. It went straight into her eardrums."Okay, okay!""Let me breath." Cisca managed to get out.She was still a little numb.Reagan quickly rushed to call the doctor.The doctor came in with her file, smiling."Good day, Miss Cisca, how are you doing today?" He asked."I'm great, just still numb." She replied.How long was she out for? It seemed that her body had forgotten how to use it's parts.The doctor wrote something down."Your wolf?""I can't feel her." She replied. Her heart rate sped up. Where was Ezra?&n
Amelia visited Cindy that morning. She needed a solution to Stiles.Making sure that she wasn't seen with Cindy.She had to be very careful this time around.Laws had been passed by the king to watch for any suspicious activity in the pack.Cindy opened the door shocked to see Amelia again. She didn't look better, but at least she wasn't drunk today.She moved, allowing Amelia to entered in.Since Amelia had gone without a word, she didn't expect her to show up at her doorstep unannounced.She offered her a seat, which Amelia took gratefully. She was cooking meatballs and Spaghetti at that time.She offered them to Amelia.Amelia received it with thanks.Wordlessly, she cleared the plate. The silence became too thick. When Amelia wanted to do it. She shook her head."I need to kill Stiles." The plates almost fell from Cindy's hands.
The king was still troubled at the letter he received about him being next.He hadn't finished stewing over the previous one when another note was dropped on his window today again.It read"Your enemy is your household."His trusted warrior hadn't been able to find this anonymous person.He instructed that there should be census and everything and everyone be searched thoroughly.They doubled patrol wolves at every landmark.Maybe this person was also an insider.Why else did he or she not show their face, if they knew everything happening in the Kingdom?During breakfast, he didn't even say anything.The table had been silent.It was as if they were mourning someone.Everyone could read that the atmosphere wasn't conducive.Queen Nicky noticed the King's moodiness
Alden was about to leave when the king called him."Don't go, Alden." The king beckoned.He waited till everyone left."I know you've been receiving the notes too."Alden was shocked. The king was very intuitive.How did he know?"What did yours say?" He asked smiling at the surprise on Alden's face when he spoke about the notes.It confirmed his suspicion."It says I'm next." Okay, so the both of them were targets.He was the king, while Alden was the rightful heir. So if they were removed out of the way, they'd be able to reign.The person was after the throne, he realized.They needed to treat this matter with wisdom in order to fish out him, or her and whoever they are working with."Brendan was poisoned." He told Alden.Alden flashed back to the warning Cisca gave him earlie
Stiles decided to up his game. He could get what he had always wanted. Which was the throne. The king's speech had solidified his belief in himself. With the look of things, it seemed the king was about to die. That was very great news.He visited Elder Magnus, since he was one of the strongest forces in the council. He knew others didn't like him no matter how much they pretended to and he didn't like them either.When he became king, he was going to wipe all of them out lest they pose a resistance to his ascension.As for the anonymous person, he was less concerned if the threat was against Alden. He needed no obstacle on his way."Your highness, to what do I owe this visit." Magnus greeted him."I want to become king very soon. I want every possible distraction to be eliminated." He said without mincing words.Elder Magnus stared at him. He was the replica of his mother
Alden took the note warily. It said"Watch your back."He couldn't sleep.He heard his window creak slightly signalling an intruder.He turned and crouched low. The person entered in unsuspectingly. Surprisingly, he didn't see Alden.Alden managed to crawl behind the intruder and jump on his back, and tried to pin him down.The intruder cut him with a knife.Alden staggered. He felt blood. It was silver.He drove blows into the person's face, the intruder was a very strong man.He couldn't see his face. He was wearing a mask.However, he thought the person looked familiar. This person knew all his fighting skills.He changed his tactic and decided to engage this assassin."Who sent you?" He asked. He could always identify the person through his voice.The man refused to answer. Instead he swung so fast, tha
Alden watched as she retreated dejectedly. He berated himself for not treating her well. But in his defense, he had to protect her from any harm even if that meant staying away from anything that concerned her.Cisca resumed back to work."See who went on a holiday?" Melissa taunted.She didn't even reply her."Are you sure you aren't pregnant?" Melissa asked."What?" Where did she even get that idea from?She didn't bother as she marched up the stairs.Meanwhile, Alexia was very angry that Alden had cheated death once again.What fools were these that were unable to kill Alden once and for all.She hoped they weren't traitors.No one knows what happened to Zach till tomorrow.It was that anger she poured out on Cisca when she mistakenly poured water on her.A hot slap rang in her ears as she tried to gain her momentu
She stopped. Something in his voice made her turn to him.She saw the naked hurt in his eyes. He looked so vulnerable.What now?He saw that he had her attention."Sorry for what exactly? She asked."The fact that you don't acknowledge our mate bond or that you allowed me to be flogged while you watched." She was on a roll."I am just a maid to you, aren't I?" She asked with pain in her eyes.You're ashamed of me, is that it? She added.She saw the conflicted emotions in his eyes. He couldn't even look at her."I'm so sorry for everything." He whispered.With every word she said, he felt like he was dealt with a big blow to his heart."That's what you should be, sorry!" She said."Maybe you're not sorry, you're just a coward." she walked away with the dignity she had left.He stared at her r
