‘In a week or so.’ A woman’s voice linked in response.
‘And if I need it earlier? What’s the price?’
‘That’s not possible. You know how long it takes to synthesize Oleander.’
‘Can’t you speed up the process?!’
‘We could. But the quality would be sub-par. Would you accept a product of inferior quality?’
Jake groaned. ‘Fine. And the other one? The shell?’
‘The ingredients for that

Before the High Court building, journalists and reporters from every news corporation gathered at the court entrance with their cameras and recorders in hand. A woman in a blue and black pantsuit, along with a pale blue beret tested the microphone pinned to her black coat before she looked into her colleague’s cameras. At the end of their countdown signal, she smiled and began speaking, “Good morning from all of us at the Latest News Network. I am Tasha Louise, here to report on the corruption charges against four long-serving ministers of the Kingdom. This concerns the Minister of Defense, Alfred Cummings; the Deputy Minister of Defense, Pierre Whitlaw; the Minister of Finance, Marie Martin; and the Deputy Minister of Finance, Patrick Dupont.” “Last Tuesday, exactly six days ago, the police arrested the ministers for alleg

Lucianne turned and found a little Evie in a light green dress running towards her with opened arms. Lucianne didn’t have to think before bending down to scoop the little girl up. “Hello, Evie. Where’s your mommy?” Lucianne asked with a smile. Evie looked behind her and pointed, and Lucianne saw a frantic mother running in her way. Lucianne then looked at Evie and asked, “Evie, did you tell your mommy where you were running to?” “Mommy knows.” Evie said with no worries or remorse. Lucianne pecked a light kiss on the little girl’s forehead before she said, “Evie, next time, drag mommy along, okay? You don’t want to worry her, and you don’t want to be taken by bad guys, do you?”

Sebastian swallowed a lump in his throat before he uttered, “Not in recent years.”“Hm. When did your relationship with him turn sour?”The prosecution jumped out of her seat and exclaimed, “Objection, my Lord! The question is irrelevant!”Mr Clark explained, “My Lord, the proximity of the accused’s relationship with his son will explain the likelihood of him helping in the acquisition of assets.”The prosecutor argued, “Mr Cummings had already denied aiding the accused in those acquisitions!”Mr Clark counter-argued, “My Lord, it is clear that the accused and the present witness’

The prosecutor got to the point with Alfred Cummings. “Mr Cummings, did your son visit you yesterday?” “Yes.” “Did you ask him to testify against the law?” Alfred glanced briefly at Mr Clark before he uttered, “No.” “Did you ask him to testify for your case?” “Yes, but I didn’t tell my son to lie. I’m a father. Every father’s pride is to raise his children with the highest honor and integrity.” “You insisted that your properties were acquired by your son as gifts. Do you have proof of these transactions?” “I’m afraid that is

“Is she in court today?” Judge Cook asked.“Yes, right over there.” Marie pointed at a young woman in a grey dress.The prosecutor then argued, “My Lord, the prosecution did not receive prior notice of this evidence. I urge the court to adjourn the trial for Ms Martin while we authenticate the document.”Judge Cook calmly replied, “Authentication goes without saying, prosecutor. But I won’t grant an adjournment. Since this document only questions the validity of the audits, the trial can move on to the corruption charges against Martin on government projects.”Mr Clark argued, “Mr Lord, every earning and expenditure made by my client will be reflected by th

“So, cuz. It’s safe to say that we’ve been played on all those projects.” Christian noted in anger before drowning down the coffee in his polystyrene cup as the four of them sat at a table in the court cafeteria. Judge Cook ordered a short recess after Marie Martin fainted at trial.Xandar was as infuriated as his cousin was when he responded, “And to think I was absurd when I thought she or the others who backed her up shared some form of relationship with the companies they voted for. It was so obvious that those companies weren’t the best!”“But why would you dismiss your suspicions, darling?” Lucianne asked innocently as her small hand rested on his lap.With much shame, Xandar took her hand and laced their fingers.

The prosecutor asked with furrowed brows, “Mr Dupont, didn’t you say that you knew about the fund transactions but that you were coerced to perform those illegal transactions?”Dupont faked a smile and answered, “I said that I was coerced, yes. But I didn’t say I had been aware of the transactions.”“So, what did you think you were coerced to do?”“I was told to keep quiet about whatever the Duke was thinking of doing. But I didn’t know I’d be paid to be silent.”“The document I’ve just placed before you shows the list of properties you acquired in the past eighteen years. Tell me, Mr Dupont, do you own them?”&nb

Mr Clark began, “Mr Dupont, in your years as minister, did you ever have direct access to government funds?”“No. I’m only a deputy. Marie is the one with direct access.”“So, you can’t access the funds without her approval?” Mr Clark clarified.“Well, to be fair, neither of us can access it unless the government,as a whole, approves it.” Dupont clearly rehearsed this well-versed answer.“So, the funds which were disbursed were approved by the government?”“Yes, it was to be given to wolf packs. But I have no clue how a part of it ended up in my account. I can tell you I was shock

Perhaps you’ve even developed a crush in the course of the story XDThat being said, and without giving too much away, I hope that:i) Lucianne has exemplified strength, resilience, self-worth, and has shown you the upside of opening up to new possibilities;ii) Xandar has exemplified how important it is to let those

Tears trickled from the corners of Lucianne’s eyes as the congregation clapped when Xandar came to the end of his wedding vows. Most of the women found it so heartfelt that they were already all teared-up. Even Christian pressed away the tears from his own eyes.After Xandar’s thumb wiped away his mate’s tears on her face, Lucianne cleared her throat and began reciting her vows which went through infinite drafts before this day, “Xandar, when we met, I was so blinded by my past that I almost gave up the best thing that was presented to me. You’ve always expressed how lucky you felt to be bonded to me but from the way I see it, I’ve been the lucky one.”“You asked me for a chance, a chance to show me that you’re different but you’re not just different, dearest. The way you lo

Six weeks later, the royal wedding took place, and it was the largest wedding in Lycan and werewolf history...because werewolves were never invited to a Lycan’s wedding, let alone the Lycan King and Queen’s wedding. In the confinement units of prison, the police once again tied each Kylton to a chair and placed the same televisions from the coronation day in each of their units, courtesy of the King. They taped the heiress’s mouth after her first scream this time. Xandar decided that he would use the short period of time after the wedding and before the honeymoon to tell Lucianne about forcing the Kyltons to watch her coronation and their wedding. He didn’t tell her when he sent out the order because he didn’t want Lucianne to blink her doe eyes and talk him out of doing what he wanted to do. It wasn’t as if he

Yarrington caught the Queen before she fell, handing her to the King as soon as he reached her side. Xandar rushed her to Dr Yeil’s medical centre. Christian, Annie, the alliance, Ken and Janice all waited along the corridor outside the doctor’s room.Xandar was looking at his mate’s unconscious body on the examination table in dismay. He felt her blacking out from across the hall, and the next thing he knew, he was witnessing her petite figure falling before the Education Minister caught her in swift motion.Dr Yeil extracted some blood, and got one of his nurses to go have it analysed. Two minutes into the body examination with his second nurse, Lucianne let out a moan. Xandar rushed to her side without a second thought and asked frantically, “Baby. Baby, can you hear me?”

A week later, the wolves flew to Lycan territory again to attend Lucianne’s coronation. Every living creature from Blue Crescent flew over, and they left the safety of their pack to the warriors from an ally pack.Every Lycan and werewolf who wasn’t at the ceremony turned on their televisions or went online to watch the live broadcast, even the prisoners. Greg sat in the cafeteria with a few new friends he made, beaming as Lucianne’s face came on screen.In a separate prison, the Aphaels and Tanners stared at the screen with zero enthusiasm. Livia was the only one with a scorn when Lucianne’s face came into view.In each of their solitary confinement units, the Kyltons were barking expletives when the police brought in high resolution television

Lucianne sat up and held her breath, as did everyone else. On the side, Greg seemed like he couldn’t care less what happened to him but it did concern him that Lucianne looked worried. She shouldn’t be under any stress given how hard the past few weeks had already been for her. He was only stealing momentary glances of her before but he was finding it difficult to look away now, until his cousin threw him a glare.Greg rolled his eyes just to annoy his cousin one more time before reluctantly looking away. Lucianne felt Xandar’s jealousy, so she pecked a quick kiss on his jawline to calm her beast. Xandar’s face softened, and he closed his eyes to take a whiff of her hair, indulging in her scent.Judge Cook cleared his throat and continued reading the judgment, “By law, the Duke’s act of poisoning t

The next three weeks passed in a blur, with the Kyltons’, Aphaels’, Tanner’s and Greg’s lawyers trying their best to save their clients. Some of the arguments and rebuttals got so ridiculous that the judges held their heads like they were getting a migraine. One day before the verdict was scheduled to be delivered, every pack leader and Gamma boarded flights to the Kingdom and stayed over in hotels before making their way to court the next day.When the wolves saw each other in court, they embraced and chatted. The noise died down when the accused persons were brought into the courtroom. Almost everyone scowled at the Kyltons, Aphaels and Tanners, emitting low growls as they walked past with police escorts to be seated in the area designated for them. When Greg was brought in, however, no werewolf or Lycan made a sound. They

Ken’s face was still as hard as cold metal when he turned to Janice, and exploded, “I knew I should’ve killed Idris’s b*stard son when he looked at Lucy like she was a piece of meat! How dare he try to take my daughter’s choice from her!”Upon hearing that, the four of them holding their breaths relaxed visibly. He was mostly mad at Jake. Thank Goddess!“OUR daughter, dear.” Janice corrected her husband. She wasn’t comfortable after listening to the tale either.“Sick b*stard!” Ken spat. He then scowled at Juan and shouted, “And what the h*ll was Faint Moon’s doctors doing?! How could they not have enough blood on hand?!”Juan

At Blue Crescent, Lucianne dashed to the packhouse first while Xandar, Juan and Hale took a little more time. She wanted to butter-up her overprotective adoptive father before he met her mate. Ken and Janice didn’t live in this packhouse after retiring as Alpha and Luna but they stayed here for the past month to babysit the grandkids. Juan and Hale’s kids were still in school, so it was just the adults and the two servants in the house now.Ken was already waiting at the entrance when Lucianne ran into his open arms as she called out “Daddy!” like a little girl. After squeezing the girl he raised as his own, he managed a small smile and asked, “Buying brownie points for your mate, baby girl?”Lucianne showed her doe eyes and said, “Xandar is really nice, dad. And I really love him. Promise to
