His head was low while he was fidgeting because of too much fear and disappointment to himself.
A loud crashing of a black antique ceramic vase reverberated throughout the entire room.
Aeron’s eyes shut tightly as his heart speeded up. He bit his lower lip to keep himself from flinching.
The ruthless and cunning Luna of the Dark Wood Pack – which was also his mother – Lamina Darkwood, was so mad for what happened in the prisoner’s trial that she almost turned red due to her maddening fury.
She was walking back in forth in front of them – and he could feel that she was so close to shifting into her wolf form – but he hopefully not.

The King's Mate Epilogue
POV: King Hades Pierce “I heard that you had mistreated your Sacred Emissary… again.” Hades made a serious remark to his brother, who was lost in his books. However, seeing how Raven was affected by the mere mention of that particular word, he smirked inwardly. “Shut it off, Hades.” Raven darkly told him. Irritation was filled by his voice. “Oh, so cold. After giving her some azaleas, huh?” He playfully commented, as he couldn’t hide his smirk anymore. Raven just clenched his jaw as he put his book on his lap and stared at him grimly. “Whatever.” He stated darkly before the corner of his lips rose, this time giving him a mocking smile. “Anyway, how about you, then? You have your own, right? The mark had been revealed. I can’t believe that the Lunar Pack is getting this huge responsibility.” Raven suddenly remarked. His forehead instantly creased, but he couldn’t stop the excitement that suddenly embraced him. Yes. The Sacred Emissaries came from the Lunar Pack, and he had no
The King's Mate 101: Sacrifice
Chapter 101 POV: Queen Tamara Pierce Tamara could hear voices from the people around her. However, because of her throbbing head – she stayed with her eyes closed until the voices became clearer this time. “I am sure she will go berserk later on once she gains consciousness.” She heard a cold voice – but she could distinguish a bit of worry in her voice. She might be guessing that it was Shanaia who said that. “We have no other choice but to do this to her. The King requested this thing, and I have no other choice but to follow.” She heard another woman’s voice – which she presumed was Tamika’s this time. ‘What the heck is happening?!’ She screamed in her mind, but she kept her mouth shut as she was trying to remember what happened to her prior to this. She suddenly remembered that she was talking to Hades and before he walked away from her, she had already lost her consciousness. “But-” Shanaia was about to say something when she abruptly stopped as Tamika let out a breathy si

Chapter 99 POV: Queen Tamara Pierce She opened her eyes as she felt a hand caress her hair, and she turned to face Hades, who only gave her a small and weak smile. “Hades!” She abruptly cried as she gave him a tight hug. Hades slightly grunted and she quickly removed her embrace. Her eyes widened when she realized how clumsy she was! “Oh! I’m sorry… I just… I…” Her eyes welled up as she looked at Hades gently caressing her cheek. She bit her lower lip as her tears fell and she firmly closed her eyes.

The King's Mate 98: Broken Legacy
Chapter 98 POV: Lamina Darkwood Being shocked was an understatement. She was certainly astounded as to its deeper sense. She couldn’t believe that she was hearing everything about it. “Just like your father. I am very proud of you, Cessair, and I bet your father would have been very proud of you. You are as manipulative and as sly as he is.” Elder Courdamus cynically commented. “He should have said that to me. He should still be here with us. If not for Lamina’s father! That Lomero is truly much more cunning and treacherous.” His voice became so dangerous and firm. She pursed her lips together at the mere mention of her father’s name. Her heart was clenching inside her so hard that it was making it hard for her to breath. “Good thing that you ended his life. His daughter had compensated for everything that he should be doing for us.

Hades was now soundly sleeping inside their master bedroom – and she was improving thanks to Tamika's assistance. She thought all of them were doomed because of what happened to Hades. She couldn’t believe that they had a plan for it. Hopefully, Hades will be waking up soon. “So, what have you done to my brother?” Raven’s voice inquired as his eyes darted to Shanaia, who seemed unbothered by his piercing eyes. His forehead creased as to how Raven said those words – as if he was suspicious or something. He seemed to be pushing Shanaia to speak up for the truth. ‘What the heck is wrong with him?’ Tamara mentally thought. “Tamika gave that to me, just in case. We all know that you’ve done something to the elixir during our surprise att
