Jules’ POV

Sitting alone at the bar in the castle living room, I poured myself a drink and gulped it down in seconds. I then grabbed the bottle and poured another one and just stared at it.

I had woken up that morning thinking about Shannon, and even though Dora laid by my side, she did nothing to distract me from my thoughts. That wasn’t any surprising, I didn’t love her, I didn’t even find her attractive, but somehow she had found a way to trap me.

Deciding I couldn’t take the pain anymore, I quickly drained the half full glass and dropped it on the counter with a tap, then stood up and headed upstairs, straight towards Shannon’s quarters.

As I stood outside Shannon’s door, my heart pounded in my chest with anticipation and guilt. I knew I shouldn’t be here, knew I was only making things harder for both of us. But the ache in my chest, the longing for her touch, was too strong to ignore.

Taking a deep breath, I knocked softly on the door, my hand trembling slightly. Moments later, S

    Jules’ POVI stood over the body of the young man, a sense of confusion clouding my thoughts. His face was unfamiliar, and I couldn’t understand why he had come looking for me. As I examined him further, I noticed that his pockets were empty.Frowning, I turned to the guards who had accompanied me. “You said he had a wallet in his pocket?” I asked them.“Yes Alpha. He took it out for a minute to show me his medical doctor card, then tucked it back.” One of them answered.“Did anyone see what happened?” I asked again, my voice tinged with concern.The guards shook their heads, their expressions grim. “No, Your Highness,” one of them replied. “But it looks like he was attacked. They must have taken his wallet.”I nodded, the pieces not falling in place. None of it made any sense. The man had likely been mugged after he arrived here to see me. But the question still remained: why had he come looking for me in the first place?“Search the area,” I instructed the guards. “See if anyone rec

    Jules’ POVThe next morning, as Ricky and I prepared to leave the castle to continue our investigation, chaos erupted in the courtyard. My heart skipped a beat as I caught sight of billowing clouds of smoke rising from the left wing of the castle.“Ricky, look!” I exclaimed, my voice filled with an urgency as I pointed towards the smoke. “We need to do something!”Panic spread through the crowd as people scrambled to escape the blaze, and I felt a dread knotting in the pit of my stomach. Ricky’s expression mirrored my own alarm as we rushed towards the source of the fire.As we drew closer, smoke filled our nostrils, choking us with intensity. Panic surged through my veins as I realized that the fire was fast consuming everything in its path, on the left wing of the mansion.“We have to get everyone out!” Ricky shouted, his voice barely audible over the crackling flames. Without hesitation, we sprang into action, alerting the guards and rallying the residents of the castle to safety.

A hushed silence fell over the room as a shimmering image materialized before us, suspended in mid-air like a ghostly vision.The clip played out before our eyes, revealing Jules at a party, his features obscured by a cloud of smoke and dim lighting

I knew quite well that Dora had blackmailed me into leaving Shannon and being with her, and I didn’t have a choice so I had folded.But now with this, everything made much sense now. I couldn’t remember how I ended up in Dora’s bed that night, but with Shannon’s story, I remembered the party, but after that, everything went dark. It was true what Dora had done to me, I admitted to myself, and now that everyone was aware, I need to get to the bottom of this.As Shannon prepared to cast the spell on Ellie, her determination palpable, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease in my insides. I knew that using the spell again would only weaken her further, leaving her vulnerable to whatever dangers lay ahead.“Shannon, wait,” I interjected, stepping forward to place a hand on her arm, my voice urgent. “You can’t do this.

But their reign was built on fear and intimidation, and I knew it was only a matter of time before someone challenged their authority.With a determined nod, I signaled to my loyal followers, and we began to move silently through the forest.

Let the guards handle this.” I said firmly, approaching his bedside. “You’re not in any condition to be worrying about Matthew right now.”Jules shot me a glare, but I could see the pain in his eyes. “I can’t just sit here while that traitor is out there,” he grumbled, shifting uncomfortably against his pillows.I gently placed a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down. “You need to focus on getting better,” I urged. “The guards will find Matthew eventually.

    Shannon’s POVI walked back to the castle, my mind swirling with thoughts about Matthew. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t even try to. My suspicions were like shadows creeping over me, chilling me to the bone. But without solid proof, I felt like I was playing with smoke.I found Jules in his study, buried under a mountain of paperwork. His tired eyes glanced up at me, and I could tell he was bracing himself for another round of my suspicions.“Jules, I need to talk to you about Matthew,” I blurted out before he could stop me.He sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. “Shannon, we’ve been over this. You’re letting your imagination run wild.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling inside me. “But Jules, I just need you to listen. I know something’s not right.”He looked at me with a mix of sympathy and exasperation. “Shannon, I understand you’re scared after everything that’s happened. But maybe you’re seeing things that aren’t there. It’s understandable, given the trauma you’ve been through.

He is trying to pot against you and why won’t you believe me?” I inquired with a very stern countenance plastered on my face.“Oh please Shannon can you please just stop all of this drama? Why are you bothering yourself over something that you shouldn’t? I don’t know what is feeding you with lies but you know better than to believe everything you hear.” Jules snapped at me, walking back to his desk, and sunk into it without giving me any more regard.I knew he wasn’t going to believe me from the start but why? I’ve been on Mathew’s trial forever and it’s enough for me to know that he is planning on hurting Jules.But why won’t Jules listen? Why is he so certain that Mathew can’t do anything to him? Why am I looking like the crazy one here? All I’m trying to do is to avert him from the danger that is heading right towards him.I couldn’t let anything happen to Jules but at thi

I mentioned to him that it was probably because of the training he’s still not properly healed yet but he just laughed in my face.As soon as we arrived in the pack house, we were welcomed by the slaves. They were all lined up in the living room in a straight line dressed in black and whiteThey had to be at least fifty to a hundred of them.What on earth did we need so many slaves for?I wondered as I scanned their faces.I glanced over at Jukes who seemed a little too confident.

I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question. I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t believe I had won. At some point, I had completely blacked out but if she was here with me then I had won.“Thanks to you. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth. I wanted it back but I knew she would be too afraid to hurt me. That was just who Shannon was.“I’m sorry, you seem to still
