Chapter forty-five BRENDA'S POV The steam from the natural spring was easing up my tense muscles when I suddenly felt someone's eyes on me rather than the water nudging up a bit. This was followed by rushing footsteps when I turned my head I saw a sharp familiar face drenched with worry. "Tho-" He placed his hand on my lips with a slight but sharp hissing sound, "Brenda, please don't make a sound some vampires are going here at any minute," My eyes widened and if his hand had not been on my lips I would have yelled. "There are far all many of them, I've barely recovered from my wound, and you...well let's just say you are not in a condition for battle," It was then I realized that I was having this conversation with my mate looking as bare as the day that I came into this world, but as my cheeks reddened up to my ears they were still able to catch the sound of rushing footsteps. They were almost here, what would we do? Thomas then looked me in the eyes and asked;
Chapter forty-six BRENDA'S POV "Thomas, you can't make me redraw!" I sparked off getting up from the couch, Marge island had taken me quite far but I needed far more strength if I was ever going to reclaim my pack and have my revenge. "As the crowned prince, I am actually completely capable of doing that, I'm afraid, Brenda." I just looked at him and said, "You can't be serious, you just can't!" I said clenching my fist, just when I thought that we were finally reaching out to each other, finally understanding what it truly meant to be mates. "I'm not, "He said frankly, "I'll tell my men to start making preparations for you to start going to join my mother, I'm sure she will appreciate your company," We are right back to square one again, aren't we? it made my stomach twist. I walked closer to him. "Your mother would want me to be closer to you, to be by your side and gain these experiences-" "My mother would want you alive, you are meant to bare my heir one day,
Chapter forty-seven THOMAS POV'S I walked into Brenda's room as she sat on her bed, "So what is your decision, Prince Lycan?" She said looking me straight in the eyes and I sighed. "You may stay on the battlefield...."She was about to jump up from the bed but I quickly added. "But you will stay with the planner wolves," She looked at me like I had gone mad, but I stood firm and crossed my arms, staring back at her firmly. "What do you mean by planner wolves?" "The planner wolves are those who record the amazing feats of battles for the future battles to read into strategies and also to..." "You are going to throw me behind a desk? I want to be on the battlefield..." "You will be, "Why was I trying so hard to convince her? "But at a safer distance away from the border, you can still see things happening. You are just as involved as you will be coming up with battle plans." She stared at me for the longest time, looking bleached, "So that's it? What has all my trai
Chapter forty-eight BRENDA'S POV It was so unusual, I didn't understand why I couldn't resist all he was telling me, it was so bone-chilling as I was unable to control my own body. The worst part was that when I reached the doorknob of his bedroom I couldn't feel the coldness against my palm and when I was in the room my body froze up and he walked in behind me. How was he making me do this? I wasn't even able to lift a finger without his command. What was he going to make me do now? "Sit on the bed," He said then someone walked in with a wooden cup containing a strange liquid. "Honestly, I wouldn't have had to do this if you hadn't been so stubborn, Brenda, and I hope that one day you'll see that I did this for you," With that, he held out the cup to me with a stretched hand and said; Drink it. At this point, I gritted my teeth trying to do my best to resist the urge to bend to his will as I kept my hands on my lap without moving them. He saw this and bent down
Chapter forty-nine THOMAS POV That didn't even exist. If she had listened to me and taken the job of a planner she would have still been as involved in the battle as anything they planned was what was executed. I knew that if she thought that she was pregnant she would be held down and agreed to be taken care of with my mother-away from the battle altogether. I heard a knock on my door and my eyes scooted over to it to see one of the guards that I had cut away from the main unit here at the cabin. "What are you doing?!" I barked at him, he was supposed to be following Brenda especially as we were at the border, and also supposedly she was pregnant with a child! He came and fell at my feet shaking like a leaf. "I'm so sorry, Prince Thomas...I...there were so many of them and they came so suddenly..." As he was speaking the rate of my heartbeat was rapidly changing with each second that flicked by my eyes. "Who were they?" "Rogues!"He confirmed the fear that was al
Chapter fifty THOMAS POV. Without sparing a single second I told Track, the wolf that led Brenda's escort team to rest while we made our way to Lala bridge but he insisted on following along. "At least you should give me the chance to redeem myself for failing you," I didn't have the time or the energy to argue with him and with my men already sliced to help escort Brenda we needed as much help by putting as many hands as we could get on deck. So I agreed and we were on our feet heading to Lala bridge, as we hurried we were there in about twenty minutes or so. "They...they are all dead, Prince Thomas."Track said. I realized that they had all taken a slash to the throat, every single one of them, and their bodies seem to be in the same state. Like they had all been killed at the same time. "Bury the bodies," I said, they fought well and deserved at least that. Just I noticed something from the corner of my eye that looked too good to be true at first. So I stepped c
Chapter fifty-one THOMAS POV Prince Thomas could still feel the unease that had taken over the group ever since I declared that one of them was definitely working for the enemy. They had been shooting each other dirty looks and glances and being extra cautious of every single step that they took. I sighed as I rested on a rock, I had not said that so that they would be at each other's backs with daggers but simply for them to be alert. No need to cry over spilt milk and nothing could be done to repair the broken trust, I had to admit that I hadn't let my guard down for a moment since I realized it. My mate had been taken carrying our pup-as if the situation wasn't helpless enough there was a rat in their midst that could be reporting their every move to the enemy. The enemy probably had my mate in their territory. My hands crashed into the wall next to me, what kind of inhumane torture was Brenda enduring now all because of my stupidity? I should have just trusted he
Chapter fifty-two THOMAS POV I looked at the giggling curly-haired blonde for the longest time before saying. Do try to keep to time if you are going to take after your father someday. Her chest felt like a deflated balloon for a while but her skin-deep smile was back before she had sat on her seat. "Now as I was saying..."I planned to take off the conversation again and then a maid rushed in at that moment. These people never let me complete my sentences. "Oh, I can't imagine..."The Aloha suddenly squeaked with a pitch that was copying his daughter. "I'm so sorry, Prince Thomas but there is something that is directly in need of my attention," He said as he was getting up. "What can be more important than this discussion-" Before I could get out all I want going to say he was already gone from the balcony and was left by myself- "So Prince Thomas..." Oh, I actually wasn't alone, his daughter was still here. "That name is so long, can I just call you my destiny?"
