Judah was tired.He has been thinking about what happened and why the enemy also targeted Gray. It wasn't just the throne they were after but his mate too, which he wouldn't allow. He enjoyed his time with her despite the fact that he wasn't at ease knowing she was marking someone else. For a Haquihana, marking a male partner is more important than them being marked. The ritual shows how males appreciated Haquihanas by letting them mark them. She must end whoever she marked the other night since it was a mistake against Gray's will. Last night, they decided to clear what was between them, and they knew they were going to need some time to sort out their feelings and find out what their relationship needed to be fixed. It was an eye-opener for both of them. Someone clearly wanted to break them apart. When he learned that his father was murdered, the very first one he suspected was Gray. Why? Because she was new and dared to meet his father without him, she was innocent, and he was b
Judah found a chair in the hallway and sat down, beginning to twiddle his thumbs nervously. He had lots of work to finish, but not before seeing Thor was okay, and he learned what he wanted to tell him. It seemed nobody knew what had happened to him, and time was running out. The doctor and nurse inside the room could only do so much. "Relax, Brother. You know Thor, he will survive," Zeus told him. Judah nodded at him. Who or what hurt Thor obviously doesn't know who he was. He can survive the silver attack since he was a partial vampire, but if it was mixed with a certain wood, he could have died. About thirty minutes later, all was calm. The nurse came back to him with a sigh of relief. "He's okay now, your highness. He requested a meeting with you."Judah nodded and hastily made his way to Thor's room. Upon entering, he saw his uncle lying on his bed with closed eyes. He then looked at Thor, who was looking at him while white cloth bound around his chest and torso. He sighed i
"What is it?" "Wolfsbane," Thor replied. "This kind of flower isn't only used as poison but also as a potion to confuse a werewolf. How those bastards developed such a dangerous flower is still unknown," he added. Judah has been staring at the liquid and the necklace next to it. He knew who owned it. He wasn't expecting that the owner would do this to him. "I can see in your face that you already knew someone might be betraying you," Thor said, looking at Judah knowingly. "Brother," Zeus said. "That's-""I know Zeus," he cut his brother's words. "And also." Thor took something underneath his pillow. It was a brown envelope and gave it to Judah. Although he was confused, Judah took the thing out, and he found Gray's picture sitting inside a notorious club he was familiar with a female he knew. He could see Gray having a fun time and then noticed a bluish liquor inside a small glass she held. "That liquor is what we called Blue Lagoon. It wasn't just a normal drink. It was fused
Cameron approached one of the older wolves, Gray carefully treading behind her. She felt extremely uncomfortable knowing none of those trainees' training had ever trained with her brother. Just by watching them, she already felt like she would be sore for the whole week. "Gray, this is Rex. Rex, this is her highness."Gray looked up almost sheepishly at the six-foot-tall man with blonde but silver hair. He was supposed to have been in his late fifties but was extremely fit and attractive. Rex turned around to Gray and gave her a curt bow. "My Queen, it's an honor."She smiled and uttered thank you to him. "Anyways, Gray, you're in good hands. Rex and his team will train with you for four hours at the beginning of each day until you're training with Judah."Rex nodded."You were a fast runner during the mating game, your highness. That's a good start. We must start focusing on hardening your muscles and knowing how to fight. It won't be so easy. Are you ready?" "Yes," Gray replied
Both girls groaned, and Gray wiped the blood from her lips, and Hilda held her nose, blood flowing from it steadily. She growled and tackled Gray to the ground, punching her all over. Gray had enough, and she was getting tired. She pulled the other girl's hair, causing her to lean on the other side. She used that to her advantage And rolled over on the top of her back, putting Hilda's face in a tight headlock. "Give in.'"No!" Hilda struggled, and Gray smirked. She has been on the receiving end of this technique many times. The more the victim struggled, the faster they lost consciousness. "Your Highness!" Rex and the two other male wolves pulled the two of them apart, prying Gray's tight grip around Hilda's neck. Gray's head was spinning from standing upright so suddenly, but once she got her bearings, she noticed their little brawl had drawn a bit of an audience. She rolled her eyes and walked back toward her room but no more towards Hilda to see her on her hands and knees, gl
Gray sniffed and wiped her tears away, smiling at Cameron. "Thank you, Cam. If anything, I'll be stronger and become a good Queen for Judah."Cameron nodded. "There you go, Now let's do this, okay? I'll be like a little guide when nobody else is around. I'll be your assistant until you become someone rightful to be with my brother."Gray nodded and opened the door to her new office, which to her surprise, wasn't small as Cameron made it seem to be. It was twice the size of her old office and there was plenty of room to work on the very large, dark wooden desk in the corner. There are rows of bookshelves with books. "Wow! I love it!" Gray said before walking over to the bookshelf sitting behind the chair and running her fingers over the spines of the book. "I think I'll spend more time reading these books. Thank you, Cam.""Nope, not me. Judah decided this for your safety. He put this together for you. He worked on this before you arrived and finalized it a few days ago. And This o
Judah sighed as he finished up the last task for the day. As he cleared off his desk, his hand brushed against a white envelope with his name on it. He assumed it was the letter that Cronus suggested that he read tonight. And he did. Gray's father has already passed away. She did mention to him about her father's illness. The letter came from her older brother, Indigo. Judah learned that Gray's father passed away two weeks ago and that Indigo found it recently. Seemed like the Alpha of that pack kept it a secret from Gray."You have to tell her about it, brother," Cronus told him. He recently came home from a sole investigation and met Indigo from the pack he was in. "I know but I doubt she'll take it lightly. She'll break," Judah replied. "You have to tell her. If you keep it from her, she'll hate you."Judah sighed and put the letter in a drawer. Under any other circumstances, he would prefer that he would keep it from her. Gray has been stressed for a while. He feared that too m
"Your brother sent me a letter to tell you that your father passed away two weeks ago," Judah said regretfully. He wanted to keep it from Grayson, but she deserved to know it. He doesn't want any secrets between them anymore. Gray's face changed from innocent blushing to shock and anger. "You're lying," she accused. "Unfortunately, I'm not Gray. It was the news that was written in the letter by your Indigo. He wasn't aware until he visited your old pack and learned about his death. Your Alpha hid it." Gray eyes started to cry as he felt anger seeping from her. "Damn it!" she screamed. "I hate that damn Alpha so much!" She punched the pillow so hard that it probably passed out if it was a human. The news made Gray's mood change. Why so sudden? Why didn't her old Alpha notify her about her father's death? Why? It was a question that needed an answer and would only be answered if she paid him a visit. She knew her Father would eventually pass away due to his illness, but why keep
Grey woke up with Judah’s arms still wrapped tightly around her. He was snoring lightly, and amid all of their late-night activities, he had forgotten to put his hair up, so now it was all over them.She smiled and slowly turned around to face him, running her fingers behind his right ear and feeling the mark she made identical to the one he had given her the day they met. Grey used to be upset with the circumstances she had been marked, but as she fell for Judah, she forgave him and was grateful regardless. The fact that she was his no matter what made her happy. She felt a sense of pride that he now unarguably belonged to her. Grey looked towards the windows. The sun was still breaking the horizon, and she wanted to get up and start her day early with Judah, but she let him sleep. Being marked will make you sleep heavily, whether you like it or not. It’s the body’s way of coping with immense pain. Grey tried to roll out of the bed, but Judah clung tightly to her, a small whine co
Judah was astonished at how smooth Grey’s skin was. He was addicted, and he will openly admit he couldn’t keep his hands from her. He sucked on her neck, and she tilted her head to the side to give him more access, to which his chest rumbled excitedly.Her body was a canvas he was eager to paint with his scent. Her skin was a landscape he wanted to explore every curve and dip. He wanted to know and taste everything.“Judah...” Grey gasped breathlessly as she wilted underneath his hot assault on her neck. Unable to resist any longer, Judah pressed his hard member into the soft mound of her backside, letting her know how much she affected him.One hand slipped to cup her sex where his finger naughtily spread her fold and twirled her sweet nub. Grey buckled before her lower body moved on its own accord and rocked on his hand and fingers from more friction. Her response was so innocent, but her innocence only made him all the more possessive.Why?Because every single touch, the sound sh
Ever since Grey got out of bed, Judah has closely watched her to ensure she is doing okay.They were inseparable except for Judah’s meetings, and Grey seemed to be striding by her new lifestyle. She’s eating healthy now and is not causing Maya a headache anymore. After learning about Maya’s past and about her daughter, Grey behaved and didn’t give Maya any trouble anymore. Grey ate healthily and trained with the other girls that were around her age. And to make Maya’s job easy, Grey began to do what a real mate should be. Unbeknownst to Judah, Grey tried to be there for him as much as she could without annoying or angering him. She was actually giving him a signal. She wanted him. Just his mere scent drives her crazy. Recently, Judah developed insomnia, maybe because he was almost killed if only Grey didn’t save him. To help him sleep, Grey started to diffuse lavender and other relaxing oils into the room, and she would lay the bed every night, throwing the sheets in the dryer befo
Alex thrashed around, his blood dripping onto the grass below. He turned his head and managed to bite into Judah's side. Judah yelped and let go, giving Alex a chance to get Judah to the ground and stand over him; his jaws were about to close around his neck, but Judah was fast enough to catch it using his feet and kick him off. Alex underestimated Judah. He has son strength to him just like his brother had. He must have trained his son to be able to compete with him, who has a lot of experience when it comes to fighting experience. The two went head to head, fighting with all their might. Both of them were getting tired. Since Judah is young and has a lot of stamina, Judah tackled him with his remaining straight and pushed Alex down, but someone knocked him off, pinning him to the ground. And when he looked at who did it, it was a brown wolf who was exactly the same size as him. He can't be wrong. It's Kaven. Judah tried to push him off, but he didn't have any strength left on him
Survival instinct is what Gray clings to. She has been walking for days inside the thick and dense forest, yet she can't see any pathway or house built in it. Ana told her that the part of the island was uninhabitable, but still, she decided to stay there to avoid Kaven's men if they decided to look for her. She has been in her wolf form, feeding any small animals. She has to survive no matter what. She needs to reunite with Judah. She was walking aimlessly, hoping to find a trace of civilization before losing her mind. Meanwhile, in Judah's Kingdom. Chaos was everywhere. The enemies have entered the castle. Judah faced off with Kaven and a much older man."Find Gray," she ordered Cameron. Cameron hesitated. "Bother, we can't just leave-""I said go!" He roared, making everyone road. Most of his best fighters took off, apart from Cronusn, Zeus, and Faye, who looked like they wanted to tear Kaven apart. Alex smirked and stepped up to him."Your mate will be Kaven's, Judah. And
Gray panted heavily as she and Ana dragged a cart full of blankets up the stairs. Gray hated stairs. She could be on level ground for hours. Stairs? Hell no. She could hardly breathe. Ana told her to be able to escape, they needed to go to the roof. She told her she had already; she once got out and found the place they were was actually an old abandoned lighthouse on a lone island. They can't just walk out from the main door because some guards are probably guarding it, and their only chance to get out of the building is by the roof, and they knew it would be pretty high. When they finally reached the roof, Gray was almost out of breath. Ana unlocked the door, and they emerged from the staircase and into the fresh air, which she and Ana gulped in as if their lives depended on it. "C'mon." She pulled Gray towards that railing on the roof and crouched, and took all the blankets out of the cart. "Hurry, Gray. Help me."Gray got down and started to tie each end of the blankets. Ana b
Gray was lying on her bed, suffering from a burn on her ankle. She tried many ways to prevent the sliver from touching her skin, but it was futile. She can't find any thin cloth that fits the space between the shackle and her ankle's skin. She wanted Ana to visit her again, but to no avail; a male guard would often bring food for her. "Where is Ana?" she once asked the guard, but the guard only glared at her saying shut up. Since Ana told her to eat her food, Gray had to follow her; otherwise, she'd die from starvation before she could even escape from the hell hole, she was in. With each passing day, Gray waits for Ana to come, but the girl is not shown yet. Gray sometimes can't help thinking that maybe she had already escaped and left her behind, or worse, she was probably killed. Gray shook her head. She had put her trust in her, and her words were reassuring. But where is she? What happened to her?She was scratching the burnt skin of her ankle when the door of her room opened,
"Kaven!" "It's nice for you to remember my name but not my request of meeting up, little rabbit," Kaven said, stepping towards Gray. Gray gathered all her remaining strength and jumped back on the bed, protecting herself from the demon before her. "Why are you trying to stay away from me? Didn't we have a great time in the bathroom stall when we met, darling?" he asked as he started to climb up on the bed. "Y-you hypnotized me! Shyly made me drink that violet liquid," Gray accused him. She saw Kaven smirking. "On that," he said stopping a few inches away from her and taking off his turtle neck shirt. He then showed her a mark. A mark she knew even if she was drunk. "You! You were the one who-""Yes darling. It was me," Kaven said, swiping his tongue on his lower lip. "The sex was good. You're a moaner, little rabbit. I like the way you climbed on me and moved your hips like a professional cowgirl." he added, demonstrating her. "You took advantage when I'm at my weakest, you mo
"So, that's why you wanted to tell me the truth even in your last breath? What if you weren't dying? Would you still tell me everything?" Judah said. Anger has already been raised, and he wanted to kill this woman so badly. But he stopped himself. Cammi smiled. "I have been waiting for this to happen. I could easily escape and let your kingdom be taken away, but I figured it out it was a waste, something my conscience couldn't take. I knew my father would eventually kill me since I knew everything about his plan. Because he made my little sister a hostage, I don't have any choice but to do what he wants. But a few days ago, before I let myself be captured, I learned that my sister had died a long time ago. She was neglected, tortured, and raped. How could that monster possibly do that with her? His daughter!?"Judah's anger was subdued. Cammi isn't a bad woman. She was just a victim of whoever this Alex was. "That's why, Your Highness, I wanted to let you know those big shots insid
