2021-09-09 18:34:12"Rupert?" Gray asks dumbfounded staring at his photo, I just nod my head placing the photo on the desk.
"We had the same reaction to the news, we've found out that Rupert was also one of your fathers men that helped him commit such heinous crimes" I start to explain while Erik begins to pull more papers out, we fell down a rabbit hole investigating this "now all this linked together and I mean it all, Matilda's death, your mother as we now know, faking her death and Rupert's house burning down, they're all connected" I say laying the photos on the table, honestly it was a lot, we must have used about a tree and a half making all these up.
"But you say there was a witness there, if Rupert was working with his dad he wouldn't spill his guts to officials, after his dad killed Rupert's mate he didn't have anything to do with Grayson's family at all"

Guards immediately start to file into the office blocking any doors and windows, Gray's arms lock around me as the room instantly becomes packed as the shouting continues. I look back at Gray very worried who places a kiss on my shoulder, I think this was him telling me I was going to be okay."That is absolutely correct my love, no harm is going to come to you, I promise" he mind-links hearing my thoughts, I take hold of one of his arms that were still tightly wrapped around me.A few silent minutes in the room pass, the shouting got louder for a second but than stopped abruptly. But the thing that stood out to me was it didn't sound like a man, to me it sounded like a woman. In my mind I was trying to match the voice to someone I knew, but I couldn't place the voice with anyone. This would mean either Rupert has a very girly voice or, it's not

It was silent for what left like an eternity, Gray and I stood outside the door just staring at the women inside the door, who was also just looking back at us. No one dared to make the first move, I run my thumb over Gray's knuckles to show him I'm here but also in hopes to snap him out of it. It works and he begins to lead me into the room, the guard bows their head at us before leaving the room closing the door behind them. The stand off only continued, no one dared to move or even talk for a few seconds. Thankfully, Gray's mum spoke up."My baby look at you, you won't believe how much I've missed you" she says tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke, she then turns her attention to me stood beside Gray "you must be his mate, oh my you're so beautiful" she smiles at me, I send her a smile back at her kindness."Thank you, I'm Clara" I smile

We arrived back to the castle in the early hours of the morning, honestly I thought it would go as smoothly as leaving the castle would be, but boy was I mistaken! We were supposed to leave the safe house this morning, but Gray got word that Rupert somehow learnt the location of the safe house, he blames his mother for showing up. So late last night after being literally dragged from bed and into a car, we arrived at the castle in the really early hours. Gray wasn't kidding when he told me they put an increase in the guard presents around the castle, they're down every corridor and office I even saw them in a crawl space when I was walking around! Lets just hope they don't get too overwhelming, but I know Gray is only doing this as he cares.I was so nervous for the day ahead of me, if you remember Erik told me he had something he needed to discus with me about Cyrus. Everything with Gray's mother kind of put that

"I know you came here and spoke with your dad a few weeks ago, I haven't saw him since which means you've done one of two things" he begins to speak, in his mind he was leading this conversation "either you've off'd him, which I honestly think you don't have it in you or, he's agreed to something and you've let him go, which one am I right about Clara?" He asks me smirking, he tries to lean forward but the handcuffs behind his back prevented him from doing so."As much as you're trying to hide it, you're struggling right now aren't you Cyrus?" I ask with a smile, he looks annoyed at me for a second but I just continue "now you and I need to come to some sort of arrangement, if we do than you can be free of all these struggles, how does that sound?" I ask tilting my head a little as I spoke, he looks up at me giving me a look which showed he was intrigued.&nb

I wait around the corner of the reception to compose myself, I can't believe Gray and I had our first mini fight. I couldn't just stand there and allow him to treat people like that, I've never saw him like that and what I did see, I didn't like.Once I was fully calm I walk around the corner where Kyle stood, he kind of looked different to when I last saw him. He looked tougher in a way, probably the job of an Alpha did that. He looks up his eyes lighting up a little when he saw me, I'm engulfed in a tight hug for a second.We stand there for a few minutes, I didn't know how much I actually needed this hug. He was always there for me growing up and was my go to guy to help, I guess things haven't changed since we were little."When were you gonna tell me you let dad go?" he a

It's been almost a week since Gray and I fought and made up, he's been so lovely this whole time, not that he's not so lovely anyway. He's been leaving a single rose in different places throughout the day, there was a day I never came across one so he places it in his suit for when I saw him next. Other than that the days have been pretty uneventful for the days I have now, Erik sent a team down to start interviewing Cyrus and whoa, we got more than we bargained for. So with his statement and my fathers, Erik feels like we have a nearly airtight story.Today I had another task at hand, I promised Gray's mother that I would have a meeting with her, I never break a promise which is why it's happening today. I told Gray and tried my hardest to persuade him to meet with her, but he told me he doesn't want to sit in the same room as that woman ever again, so I was going alone. I make my way down the corridor alone whic

"Clara, Clara" I hear someone saying my name over and over again, they sounded close but I couldn't make out who it was at first.I slowly open my eyes lifting my head up, this is when I discovered I was in a dark and wet warehouse tied to a chair. My hands were tightly tied behind my back, while my legs were tied to the chair legs."Clara you're okay?" I hear the same voice, I turn my head as much as I could to see Lizzy also tied to the chair behind me "I was starting to get worried" she says still looking behind, starting to?! Being tied to a chair in a middle of a warehouse isn't imitate worry for her?!"Do you know where we are?" I ask looking around but I couldn't see anything that might indicate where we were, again it was just a dark and wet warehouse place.

TW- This chapter involves suicide, if that is something that triggers you, please skip this chapter.I remain alone in the dark warehouse for a few minutes, I was pulling at the tight ropes that held my hands together but it was no use. I also kept trying to mind-link Gray but it never went through, whatever chemical Rupert held to my face has done something to my wolf. It was eerily quiet which made my stomach turn, I didn't know where he took Lizzy or what he was doing to her.A few more silent minutes go by until the door opens once again, Rupert walks in alone which again just makes me sick to my stomach, where's Lizzy?"Now that's taken care of" he smiles knelling down in front of me, I didn't know what was going through his head but I didn't like it "me and you are gonna

The Kings Mate Final Chapter
The jury didn't take long to decide what was to happen to Preston, much to Gray's annoyance. We were now sat in the courtroom waiting for the jury to come back in, I was pretty confident that we'd won this but you never know. I look down into the court to see my family sat all together, even Cyrus was sat beside my dad, like one big happy family!My eyes wonder to Preston, he had such a horrible look on his face, I think it's finally now setting in that this whole act of being a devoted King isn't going to pass. The act he was playing is now up as Gray said, he's about to pay for all those people he hurt.The jury soon enter the courtroom going over to sit where they have been, Gray quickly takes my hand as the main jury person stands up."Have you came to an agreement?" The j
The Kings Mate Freedom
After the wholesome family moment, the court got called back in. Gray was now back from wherever he went and joined me on the balcony once more, he isn't going to believe the information I just found out, I'll have to tell him after this is all finished.It was now Preston's turn to go to the stand, the court was silent as we all watch him walk over to the stand. All you could hear where the chains around his feet rattling, I glance over at Gray who's eyes didn't leave his father. I reach over taking his hand in mine, it was my turn to comfort him. He places a kiss on my hand before resting our interlocked hands on his leg, as Preston took the stand he takes a look up at us."Now let's start with the questions shall we, did you hire Cyrus and Wes Jacobs?" Our guy asks placing his hands in his pockets, we all knew where this was going to go
The Kings Mate Water Under The Bridge
After Cyrus spoke the court took a break, I think everyone needed some time to try and take in everything that was just said. I had no idea Preston threatened Cyrus and my dad, I thought Cyrus just did it because he's a terrible man that took pleasure from doing that kind of thing. I mean let's be honest he probably did enjoy it, but maybe he got too far in and there was no way out so he carried on.I was in the lobby of the court alone this time, well sort of alone as there were guards everywhere. Gray was with Josh doing I have no idea what, while Erik was talking with the prosecutor guy, aka our guy. I couldn't be seen talking with anyone from the court, in case people see and the public becomes aware of my hand in this case.I was just stood there when something catches my eye, sitting alone on one of the chairs was Cyrus. He sat with his ha
The Kings Mate Taken Care Of
As we enter the courthouse I see all the guards.... well guarding, I probably haven't seen this amount of guards in one place ever! And I have seen a lot of them. Erik said the publics shock they felt at first has turned into anger, for Preston's safety most of the castle guards are here. I mean I know he's a horrible man that is about to pay for what he did, but he doesn't deserve an angry mob attacking him.Gray turns and gives me a look, he must have been invading my thoughts again and disagreed with what I thought. We soon reach the ginormous staircase, last time we were here I didn't have my wolf which made the journey up this staircase quite difficult. I'm hoping now my wolf is back in her annoying place."Annoying?! As you said without me you didn't manage to get up the stairs" she snaps in my mind, I didn't say I didn't manage to get up the stairs and I actually did get up the stairs f
The Kings Mate Goes Nothing
It was the next morning, the day of Preston's trial. I thought going into this I would be more nervous, but I actually wasn't. We had Cyrus and my dad for starters, we have down some intense research on him and he even confessed! We knew for definite that he'd get some time for Matilda and we have so much evidence on all the other crimes, this is gonna be a clean sweep!I got dressed into my most sophisticated outfit but also, not too sophisticated. I knew this was my last day staying here with my parents, they were being moved into a different house after the trial. One because this is just a safe house and is not made for constant living and second, Cyrus came here yesterday so they wouldn't be safe away from him, even though I'm having guards watch his every move.I walk down the stairs that opened to the living room, my mother was tying my d
The Kings Mate Is The Day
I was sitting on the sofa of my parents safe house, my mum had me change out of my wet clothes and into something warmer before I caught a cold. I explained everything that happened and they were kind of shocked, my mother held my hand as I explained the whole thing."You can stay here as long as you like" she smiles squeezing my hand as she spoke "you're the reason we get to live like this, finally away from that monster" she continues, I knew she was talking about Cyrus."He's also getting released after the trial, don't worry he's going to be closely watched and will never get anywhere near you" I say looking at both of them, my dad just smiles coming to sit beside me."It's okay Clara, all we want to is to have some sort of
The Kings Mate Some Space
I arrive home in no time, I head straight to the bedroom where I lock the door behind me. I needed to be left alone for a while to try and process what just happened, if that was even remotely possible to do. I begin to pace the room, I was trying to come up with an explanation but I found none! Why would Erik do something like that? The dude was literally just trying to tell me about his brother, who apparently worked with me at the beginning. This causes me to rack my brain to try and remember anybody who doesn't work for me anymore, I mean there's been a ton of guards who have worked with me for awhile, could one of those men be the one he was talking about? I just don't know!The door handle moving is what breaks me from my pacing thoughts, once the person realises the door is indeed locked, they begin to knock."My love, open the door" Gray
The Kings Mate Didn’t Want To Know
Erik and I sat in the room for a while, at first all we could hear was the commotion outside with Gray but now, it was weirdly quiet. At the time I think I still had a little of my wolfs Queen mode on, but now I've settled down a little I'm starting to regret allowing Gray to attack them. Yes I know they tried to hurt me and it's so lucky that Gray was there, but he could have just knocked them out and allow guards to come. That would have been the more appropriate way of handling the situation, especially, with the court case going on right now.The jury were still deliberating which I was more nervous about, I hope I said enough for them to see that Daisy would never wish to harm anyone. Erik told me he didn't know I had that side of me and if I'm honest, I had no idea I had that side of me either. I knew I had a tougher side to me due to me using it before, but I didn't know I could be that heartless when the o
The Kings Mate See You Try
After a little run around outside, I walk back into court extremely calm and collected. Gray and I shifted and ran through the surrounding woods, it felt so good to finally feel like me again and another great thing! After I shifted back into my human form my arms were completely healed, it really doesn't get better than that!As I take my seat once again I spot Josh and Daisy having a conversation, she looked beyond worried with Josh trying to calm her down. Due to my wolf, I didn't hear the last part of the trial, so I was clueless on how it actually went. The jury make their way back in which causes everyone to get back in their seats, well apart from me I was already in my seat. Gray takes his while also taking my hand, he was also super nervous about this all too, no one knew if they did enough to prove her innocence.One of the jury member
