Gray lost control of her wolf, and she shifted into a slightly bigger wolf. With her speed, she leaped on unaware Faye and bit her shoulder, and used it to throw her away, detaching her from Judah, who seemed shocked seeing an angry jet-black wolf in front of him. Faye immediately shifted into her brown wolf and protected herself against the wolf who suddenly attacked her. There's no way she can defend herself in human form. Gray ran towards her like a bullet and collided with unaware Faye. The wolf was so fast it was hard for her to see. By the time she started to feel pain, the black wolf had already connected its jaw on her side, trying to turn her around and aim her neck to deliver a fatal bite. Faye tried to fight back, but the black wolf was strong, pinning her on the ground. Once Gray pinned Faye on the ground with her belly under her, she was about to deliver a bite that would kill her, but she was bitten by a larger wolf on the back of her neck, and threw her away from Fat
Gray frowned, but she felt tears come to her eyes again. She felt helpless. She didn't want to go to the doctor and didn't want to answer questions. Gray didn't put up much of a fight when Judy brought her back to the castle and to the doctor telling him he wanted a checkup for her. The doctor looked at her, and confusion appeared in his eyes. "Your Highness, please leave the room so I can check the Queen," Thomas said. Gray was hesitant when Judy left the room and then asked her to remove all her sweaters so that he could check her over completely. With Judah gone, Gray felt exposed. She gave the doctor a dirty look and crossed her arms over her chest. Thomas chuckled and looked back down at his clipboard. "How are you feeling, Your Highness?"She scoffed and pissed. "Wouldn't you like to know?The doctor playfully rolled his eyes. "I would. It's actually my job to know, and if you want to get any better, you should tell me how you feel."Gray bit down hard on the inside of h
"Gray," Judah sighed again. "What's it to you?" Gray yelled. He was surprised at her sudden outburst, which initially caused him to back down a little bit. He knew Gray had something hiding from him, and he needed to know what it was. After getting over his shock, he stood up, towering over her and making her feel like the omega she was. "Don't talk to me like that. Watch your tone. I'm only looking out for you, Gray. Why won't you tell me what's going on with you?""You don't really care!" At that moment, Richard opened the door to enter the room, but after seeing the intense stare the couple gave each other and feeling the tension in the room, he quickly exited the room and shut the door. He would just come back later. Judah slapped his hand over his face. "Here we go! Where did you draw that conclusion, Gray?" "Because you put me through this hell!" Gray yelled she was actually looking for the exact drama to cover her worries up. "You forced me to be your mate! I didn't want
The doctor entered and set his clipboard behind him. He crossed his arms and sat down on the counter behind him. Richard crosses his arms and sits down in his chair, shrugging. "Usually, I would have called a Haquihana expert after me, but she said it's quite simple, really."Richard turned his King and curious eyes to the King. "The symptoms and the level of heat coming from her body were actually his wolf's doing. Normally, her wolf would always obey her human counterpart, except if something happened and it made her agitated," he explained. Judah sighed. He knew why. Judging by Judah's reaction, Richard assumed he knew what triggered Gray's wolf from surfacing. "Well?" Judah straightened his back from the slouching position he previous position. "Gray marked someone during her heat, and it wasn't me." Richard's eyes widened. He's not a Haquihana expert, but he knew enough about them. And he knew something about them that made them stand out more than the normal she-wolves.
Judah started to wake up, and he yawned. "U-uncle Jonas? When did you come in?" Judah asked him when he saw Jonas smiling at him. He knew he had retired, and what was he doing there inside his father's room?He was the one who taught him everything when his father wasn't around when he was still young."A moment ago. I was collecting something, but I saw you sleeping. Did you take a good nap?" "Yeah. I didn't mean to fall asleep, but I was too tired. I don't mean to slack on my work, but-""No. If you're tired, you need to sleep. You can't lead a kingdom if you're exhausted, now, can you?" Judah shook his head. "Don't ever feel bad for putting your needs first if necessary. A great leader cares for themselves almost as much as they care for others. Haven't I taught you that?"Judah nodded, rubbing his eyes and standing to his feet. He was still a bit tired but could focus better now that he had slept. "Thanks, uncle," Judah said. The reason why Jonas hadn't retired was to secret
Judah led the way to a tomb that he wanted Gray to see. He picked some wild white lilies, which made Gray furrowed. "Flower? Why would you pick some flowers?" she asked him."I'm going to let you meet someone," Judah said, looking at her and then smiling. "Someone?" Judah didn't answer as they passed trees. Within a few minutes, Gray saw a lone grave in the center of some wild magic roses. The reddish-pink flowers created a path leading to the long grave. Judah took her hands until they stopped before the grave. "In loving memory of Natalie Watson," Gray read it. "Who's grave is this, and who's Natalie?" Judah put down the flowers and uttered prayers silently. When he was done, he took a deep breath and held Gray's hand again before facing his mate's grave. "Natalie, this is Gray. She's my new mate now. I know you probably saw her from above, but I wanted to introduce you to her. This will be the last time I'll visit your grave, Talie, as I honor your wish. Gray and I will lead
Gray kept quiet as they walked on. She noticed that Judah switched direction so that he could walk the perimeter of the land while still keeping the building in sight. Judah sighed deeply. "I was so wild before I met you. What you see now is not the Judah I was days before I met you. You forced me to change for the better, Gray, and for that, I'm grateful."Gray giggled, nodding. "I didn't do anything but show up, but you're welcome. I guess it does take a special kind of alpha to reign me in. I've heard that almost my entire life.""Because you're crazy, a good crazy, but sometimes it gets out of hand," Judah chuckled. "Aren't you honored to have to deal with me? Most male wolves would give up on chasing me," She laughed, sarcasm seeping through her voice.Judah gave her a cute little half-smile and a curt nod. "Yes, yes, I am." Gray stopped laughing as soon as she realized he was serious, and she blushed. She heard a rustle in the trees and froze. Before she could even react, J
On the way back, Judah found Gray on their bed, sad. He sensed that something weird was happening, and until he figured it out, he needed to be alert. He had to watch over everyone, his priority being Amber and Gray. Judah sat beside her and smelled the worry all over his mate. He reached out and grabbed her hand, turning his head to look at her. "What did Richard say?" He asked her. Gray looked at him, and tears started to fall down her eyes. "Henry's mark was disappearing from Amber's neck. He said that Henry is probably dead and that Amber will follow if no one will mark her immediately," she replied. Judah had suspected it. The man standing in Cezar's position might have killed Henry. He knew that Henry knew a lot, and when he decided to retire, the fake Cezar had to kill him. "I have to go back there and-""Gray, please. Get a rest. Zeus is with her. He will protect her," Judah said before hugging her. "But the enemy, they will-""Leave it to me, baby. Just sleep, and when
