Sheila

My whole body protested and I groaned as I struggled to sit upright on the bed, tired of feeling sorry for myself and internally cursed when I didnt see Kaiden by my bed, hating himself for being weak and loving me for sacrificing my beautiful body to save him from the rogue I set up.

“Your Highness. You are up! I am glad the herbs worked–” The bloke stopped talking the minute I raised my hand, and gave him a look to tell him I was not interested.

He sobered up immediately.

“Where’s my husband?” I asked as I pulled away the IV drip attached to my arm. The sharp sting barely registered. I had more important things to focus on.

“The King is in the war chambers, your highness,” the healer answered quickly, bowing his head. “He is planning the next line of action concerning his missing mate–” he paused, uncertainty swimming in his eyes. “Maybe I shouldn't have said that,” he murmured beneath his breath.

“Of course, you shouldn’t have,” I said cooly, as I swung my legs over the edg

    CelineDays have passed since I last saw Neil and worry gnawed at me relentlessly as a day turned into a week. Many thoughts and possibilities ran through my head and I shivered as they turned dark. Has he been captured? Did the truth serum not help him? Did Kaiden find out he was helping me? Is he dead?To make things worse, it has also been four days since I last saw Mika, and there was no way to communicate with either of them.My bump had grown at an alarming rate, a development that only added to my unease. Too fast, I thought, pressing my hand against the firm swell of my abdomen. But Silver, my wolf, remained calm."It is normal," she reassured me. "The pup is both a crown prince and a dark great wolf, one that will be feared by all."Her words sent a shiver through me. Feared by all? I tried to press for more answers, but Silver withdrew, her presence fading into the recesses of my mind. That, more than anything, terrified me. If my wolf was keeping secrets from me, what did t

    Kaiden“Do you trust this? Do you trust Sheila to do something in Celine’s interest for once?” Damon asked as we walked to the throne room, where the witch Sheila wanted to reveal to us was waiting. I didn't like witches. They had too much power, but they knew better than to cross us because one bite from us was lethal and could kill them in hours.ButIi needed this. I had no options, my men had scored the whole kingdom and even nneighboringkingdoms ,and Celine was nowhere to be found, almost as she disappeared into thin air. It worried me to the end. I couldn’t eat, I couldn't sleep… All I wanted to know was if my mate and my pup were safe. If itwasn'tt for Sheila, as weird as that soundedI i may have dropped dead from exhaustion. I hated that she attacked Celine but I was beginning to think maybe I should cut her some slack.Celine did kill my niece and I was tearing the kingdom apart just to find her.And besides, she provided me with a solution. There is no harm in taking it.“I

    Chapter 51KaidenMirena converted the roof of my room into a shrine of some sort, and for the past few days, consulted the ancestors in preparation for the ritual. While she did that, the nerves ate away at my mind, and I spent my time pursuing leads that were close to what you would call a wild goose chase. I barely recognized myself anymore, and I barely slept, my mind plagued with thoughts I couldn't dismiss.Was Celine still alive? Would I ever see her again?“You are going to make yourself sick, Kaiden.” Sheila’s concerned eyes met mine and blinked twice, realizing that I had been staring into space for the last ten minutes. I straightened in my chair, took the cup of tea I had been drinking, which was already cold, and drowned what remained of it.Sheila sighed as she took the cup, and walked behind me. “You are so tense, let me.”Her hands dug into my shoulder blades and I stiffened. Despite everything, Sheila was still Sheila. I didn't want her getting too close.“Sheila…”S

    Sheila“Your Highness! Did anyone see you come in?” Mirena asked in a hushed tone as I walked into her chambers where she was going to be staying for the next few nights. I ignored her servant girls and turned to her as she shut the door.“Do you have to keep these girls standing here? C can't they have their room?”Mirena glanced at her girls, and let out a soft chuckle. “They knew this was what they were getting into. And besides, they do not seem to be complaining.” Rolling my eyes, I sat on the couch, my legs crossing. “Wel,l whatever. I hope they are trustworthy because I would hate to hurt anyone if news of my plan comes out in the open.”My cold tone caused them to shiver as intended, and I hid a smile as I adjusted in my chair.Mirena shook her head. “None of that, Your Highness. They are more trustworthy than you think.”I brushed off the topic, eager to get what I was here for. “What did you see, Mirena?”Mirena’s smirk faded as she moved toward the small wooden table in t

    Chapter 53KaidenHealer Magnus wrapped me with bandages since the bleeding refused to stop, and I grunted as each movement sent sharp pain radiating through my side. The wound Mirena gave me on my chest ran deep and pulsated angrily. My wolf could barely handle the pain and was doing everything to keep me standing, and I wondered how day four might be if we didn't find Celine soon. “This is crazy,” Damon murmured as he helped me up the stairs to my room, his grip hard on my side, digging into my bandage.“I’ve had worse,” I grunted, though even I didn’t believe my own words. Physically, I haven’t, but the emotional turmoil surpassed this pain by miles.Damon scoffed. "Bullshit. You’re barely standing, Kaiden. You can’t keep doing this."I didn’t respond. There was no point. He wouldn’t understand.Celine was out there. She was alive. That was the only thing that mattered. I would push through every ounce of agony if it meant finding her. If it meant bringing her back.We reached my

It was almost miraculous, and I was extremely excited to see my little bundle of joy.

But I would love every bit of him still just as I loved Kaiden.These were the thoughts I had, but my thoughts took a dark turn as one afternoon, days after Neil last came to see us, a black crow perched on the window sill, looking inside.

It was a full-time job being ahead of everyone and incredibly smart.Now I was sure Kaiden had sent the best men he could to follow Neil’s scent, like the brainless lover boy he was.

    KaidenPain.It pulsed through my veins like a fire. Since the ritual was over, I was no longer bleeding, but since the wound cut way too deep, it was taking my already weak wolf forever to heal since I already used up all my energy level.To breathe hurt, to think hurt, to even exist hurt.But I refused to let my pain stop me from going to claim my bride and ripping Neil apart when I saw him.A loud groan left my lips as I struggled to transform into my wolf, hoping that would speed up the healing process. I gripped the sheets hard, tears falling onto the bedsheet as I dealt with blinding pain, and failing miserably. My wolf couldn't come out, and I was stuck on the bed like a pathetic little bitch.But I refused to allow Celine to see me like this. I had a lot of making up to do and I needed to be healed for that.Taking in a deep breath, I hoisted myself off the bed only for my legs to buckle beneath me.I caught myself on the nightstand, sharp gasps leaving my lips as another wave

    SheilaThe sight we were met with when we entered Neil’s dungeon was that brought a smile to my face.Mirena had told me her plan the moment she captured the bastard’s sister, but I had my doubts, making up my mind to pick the pieces if it didn't work.It worked perfectly. Neil was frozen as we got in, his eyes pinned on his sister, empty col,d and unshaken. Instead, he stood rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscles twitching beneath his skin.Good.Mirena walked forward, her smirk triumphant. She knew exactly what she was doing."Nothing to say, Neil?" she taunted, circling him like a predator. "No threats? No clever retorts?"Neil didn't move, but I saw the flicker in his eyes. Anger. Desperation.His sister was barely conscious, slumped against the chain, her breathing labored as she struggled to heal against the torture she went through protecting Celine. It was almost poetic. She and Kaiden going through the same pain for opposite reasons. Kaiden to find her, Mi

    KaidenDamon was not around to help me, so a manservant helped me head up onto the roof, for the second round of the rituals. These past few fours made me realize how much I took being a wolf, an Alpha king, for granted. I hardly ever felt physical pain, but this was running me into the ground.I only hoped I was prepared for this next ritual. I did promise to do whatever it took to find her and I was ready to. Sheila was discussing with Mirena when I got there, and the minute she saw me, she rushed to my side, her gaze softening. “Aw Kaiden, you look extremely weak. After this, I would have to give you a hot water bath therapy.” she beamed.I studied her face, and her appearance, noticing something was different. I warmed up to seeing her. How did that happen? How did I feel comforted in her presence?She saw me study her face and her smile disappeared as she seemed to remember something.“Oh, if your mate allows that is. I may be your wife, but I know where we stand.”“Your Highnes
