"Is she dead," Onyx asked Roberts. It's been over an hour since the operation started and there was no news.

"It was successful," Robert announced. "I need her body," he demanded. "Don't you trust me old friend?" Robert asked.

"I do trust you, but then they are people waiting to see the proof and I can't use my mouth to tell them without showing it to them," he replied.

"Then I will bring the body," he said, stepping out. Onyx had called every council member to see, including Roman.

He also called a doctor to confirm. While Robert hid in a corner, Onyx and his team were all seated as they all waited for the body to be examined by the royal doctor.

Once he was done, he went to them, bowing before them. "So?" Onyx impatiently questioned.

"She is dead," the man replied. "She doesn't have a pulse or a heart rate, her eyes are not responding to movement," he explained.

I watch as they both fight, Alan speed surprisingly matches him. I was there for quite a while, hoping Alan was safe.

    DAMON POV "Gosh, you really do look," "stunning," she cuts in, laughing. "This is the fourth you are saying this," she says. "Well, ever since you picked me up," she corrected."I am so lucky to have you, that's a fact," I confessed but she frowns, looking away and towards the window. "You don't have me," she mumbled. This girl was one of the most confused girls I have ever met. One minute she is letting me touch her and the next minute she denies having any feelings for me.I didn't argue, I didn't want any issue with her, I nearly lost her, I didn't want my anger getting in the way. "Kiara," I called as she looked at me, her gorgeous eyes blocking the words from coming out. I had to clear my throat and look away just to talk."Before you left, I slapped you and it was wrong, I am sorry," I apologized as she smiled. "It's alright," she mumbled. We soon arrived and we went to take our seat on the high table. They were not expecting Kiara, so they have only prepared chairs for them

    KIARA POV.Halfway down the discussion with Onyx, I felt my chest being tight again and although I tried acting right, Damon noticed.He took an excuse when he saw me coughing blood. "Kiara, are you sure you don't want me to call you a doctor," he asked, as we returned to the room."No, besides, you could have stayed, I could have handled my problem myself," I replied. He didn't say anything, however, when we returned to the room, he shut the door, turning on the soundproof mood and standing up when everything was clear."You are difficult," he mumbled as he carried me to the bed. "You need to rest and if you don't want me to get a doctor or better still call Alan and tell him, you lay on the bed and let your body heal with no stress," he threatened."Good," he mumbled, seeing that I had stayed still on the bed. He helped me take off my clothes, leaving only the inner wear.And then he changed his clothes, going to join me in bed with his computer. "So what's next?" I asked him. "Wel

    KIARA POV. "Is this?" I asked, in shock of the video I was watching. "You know I am in love with you and you can't lie, you love me too," Onyx said in the video. "I am mated and I love my husband," Damon's mother said. "He barely gives you time," Onyx points out. "He is a king and has a lot of kingdom to rule, he is trying his best, I suggest you do not mention this again," She warned."I will never leave you for any power, listen to me, it would be just as we planned, I will kill Damien and since you already have a heir, we lose nothing, you can finally be mine," he says, coming close to her.

    KIARA POV. "Kiara," Wyatt exclaimed, puzzled, his face reaction nearly made me laugh but I had to hold myself in. "Yes, you called," I muttered, in a weak tone as I am posing as someone just recovering."Doctor, how?" Onyx asked. "It was just a mild heart problem and I gave her drugs to make it better," the doctor claimed, saying everything just as Bryce had instructed him. "But the other doctor, he claimed," he muttered confused."Well, I guess he couldn't guess it, which is weird because it was something I discovered the moment I checked her heart rate," the doctor explained."Except he wanted to use this medium to extort money from the royal household," the doctor continued."I told you he was fake, he should be arrested," Bryce demanded, cornering Onyx. Now the doctor won't be able to go anyway, anytime the video of Wyatt confession is played.Bryce wanted him arrested and if escape, all eyes would be on the king.

    KIARA POV.The whole scene flashed through my head and when I eventually woke up, I realized it was just a dream. I was awake in our room, with a different dress and fresh scent, no doubt he helped bath and dress me. I quickly rush out and inquire for his whereabouts. I was just about heading to the prison when he came out. His expressions quickly changed to that of a worried look even as he explained Maya's situation, he kept coming closer as if I would fall any minute from now.When I entered the room she was placed in, I was surprised to see her chained, even Damon was surprised as he told me she was sleeping when he left.Nevertheless, I still entered, squatting near her as I waited patiently for her to wake up and when I was too impatient to wait, I snapped my fingers in front of her, continuously until she was awake."You," she cursed underneath her breath. "Yes Maya, I'm standing in front of you, victorious in the end," I said."You may be victorious Kiara but then, I have l

    DAMON/BRYCE POV."Kiara, are you crying," I asked, after noticing her teary eyes. Does she feel pity for Maya? I couldn't tell because of how unpredictable Kiara can be.She quickly cleaned her eyes and then looked at me, frowning. "Is it your fault, my body went into shock seeing how you nearly died on me," she grumbled, folding her eyes and trying to get her act together, even though her body was clearly shaking.I smiled a bit, seeing that even though she couldn't help showing her feelings for me, I went to hug her. "I'm sorry my love," I apologize. "It was my mistake and carelessness, but get angry at me, I can't stand it, I won't be able to focus," I whispered as she pushed me away, "I'm not angry," she mumbled, hiding her face. "Let's go inside," she says, walking ahead but yet her step wasn't straight. Realizing she was slowly going unconscious, I rushed to her, catching her just in time as she shut her eyes."Is she alright?" They asked, all expressing concern about her. "

    KIARA POV"Give the order to attack," I instructed Damon. "But," he mumbled, the hesitation in his eyes and I firmly looked at him, telling him it was alright. "I'm trusting you," he muttered as I nodded, smiling a little. It was nice hearing that and I had to bit my lip from smiling more than that."Attack," He commanded and we rushed to reciprocate their actions, halfway I knew he noticed they were slowly down, not completely slow but enough for us to work with. This wasn't what we wanted, we wanted them to be completely slow, but they weren't, it still gave us a good opportunity to attack, getting rid of them before it began wearing off.The ones giving gear went flying while the rest stayed on the ground. I'm sure Damon had figured out that majority of our men fighting were the omegas. The rest were ask to look after the safety of our citizen.However, I noticed it didn't affect the young vampire king, I couldn't even tell if he was actually young, because of their anti-aging a

    DAMON/BRYCE POV. "That's a short timing, they are only giving us three days to prepare," I complained after reading the note out loud. "The omega team will arrive tonight, we will be giving you our best warriors," Alan said. "You are talking as if you have a plan," Kiara muttered, she just sat there, looking calm. "We used two days to strengthen them, the ones that would make great progress would be to play in the defending team, along with the omegas, the one that don't, we will settle them somewhere," He replied. "Do you think he killed Wyatt?" I questioned. "We don't know, who knows if Wyatt is engineering everything," she mumbled a reply."I'm worried about their speed," he announced. "They have to be like a gas that can help slow them down, even if it's up to five to ten minutes, it would give us an advantage," she said, standing up from her place and heading towards Alan."I remember when I joined, you all were working on something like that, what is the status," she questi

    KIARA POV"Are you sure about this information?" Damon asked. "Are you doubting me?" I asked back, teasing him a bit. The thing was the news was indeed shocking, I wasn't expecting it, neither would anyone here but it already happening. "Then what if they kill him, wouldn't it be easier for us," Alan asked. "The vampire are cunning creature, we have been at war and the only reason we haven't fought them is because none of have any leak information about our security strength they have mean, an opportunity to get it, do you think they would kill him off without tricking him at least to get it," I questioned."We don't know how long we have before they rage war and definitely we are short of well trained guards and definitely Wyatt will know their weak point, as well as their strong point. We might be needing a lot of our team to train and fight along with us," I analyze, looking at Alan for a response."An omega, isn't that an insult," a guard burst out, but when realizing he said it

    "Really," the new vampire king exclaimed, he had just been told of the current happenings in the Golden Mecha kingdom."Your majesty, are we going to attack," his officials asked. "No, not yet," he answered, leaning back on the throne."But then really soon," he assured. "If this said Wyatt hadn't escaped, we would have given them a surprise attack but this was different, their security system would be tight since they are still searching for him. "Increase the training, double the hours, tell my people that they shouldn't take it as stress, soon, we will have the werewolf under us," he announced as they all cheered. "Sir, a wolf has been spotted, trespassing," a guard had reported. "He claimed to be the son of the traitor that killed our late king," Another chipped in.."I say we kill him," the official suggested. "Cruelly, the way his father killed our late king," they demanded. "Enough," he yelled at them, with so much authorities, that they were left speechless and they had no

    DAMON/BRYCE POV."Bryce," Onyx called my name, shocked that I was standing in front of me. "Why are you doing this to me, I took care of you," he stated as I glared at him."You took care of me, you poisoned me, you killed my father, you killed my own mother because she didn't give in to you and you said you took care of me?" I questioned. "You think I don't know of your plans to dispose of me, just watch how I make you pay for every crime you ever committed," I told him."You will need to prove it first, or I might kill you through treason," he threatened as I smirked. Kiara looked pleased as she let me handle it, while regulating the security."Do you think I don't have proof against you?" I questioned, taking a look at Kiara, she got the message, releasing the next video through the official website and making sure everyone got the notification.People shifted their attention from me to their phone and the video started playing. Onyx was curious, getting his phone and watching it h

    DAMON/BRYCE POV.Currently, Kiara plans have been executed and the first half has started. The only surprising thing was that Onyx had come to us with blood on his shirt. I wondered who he had killed or what must have happened, funny enough he didn't want to hide it, he showed it boldly as he entered, not panicking.No one dared to ask him and I wasn't left out either. "Kiara, you are back and I heard you brought good news," Onyx said.."How?" He questioned and I watched Kiara explain herself. Her lies were simple, straight and so convincing that if she had not explained it to me, I would have been fooled too. FLASHBACK"Damon," her soft voice called. "We have to move everyone away. Currently, Alan is preparing a new hideout, we would need to move everything that could point back to us," she explained as her words confused me. "The first part of the plan is to get the royal soldiers to raid this place, the commotion would make the palace security lessened and we can sneak them in,"

    MEANWHILE.Onyx had returned to the dungeon, giving Roman time to think about it as Roman had asked. He had secretly been hoping that Roman would tell him, he knows it can't be Kiara, he wouldn't trust her so much to give her such a secret, so who was it? If Maya was still on Roman side then he would have been able to get it from her but things were different, he would need to get his answer directly. Roman laughed, he couldn't believe he felt Onyx pride. "I'm not going to tell you," he says, firmly. "I told you once, that if you drag me down, I won't go down alone," he went on. "You think I don't know what you intend to do?" Roman asked. "You will release me, yes I know but you will kill me. I want my life spared. So it's simple, I want to show you that I can totally bring you down," he boasted."What about you, don't you think her confession would affect yours?" Onyx asked. "It won't, because I had made sure she only make you the culprit, in her statement, she would be praising
