Chapter 18Lydia’s POV“W Wilson?” I stuttered in surprise.Wilson jumped down into the training ring and swaggered towards me.“Here,” He pulled off his chest and handed it to a guard.“I’m not fighting you” I rolled my eyes in exasperation and turned to slauntered off the training ring.If he was looking for a fighting buddy, he could wrestle one of the guards.“Why Lydia? Scared you’ll lose?” Wilson chuckled as the guards began to laugh alongside him.I narrowed my eyes at the bunch of cowards. They had forgotten who gave thme their wounds so soon. “I just don’t want to fight you,” Irritation flashed through me as Wilson grabbed my arm and spun me to face him.“Come on, let’s show them how the moonlight pack fights,” Wilson’s voice dropped low and he gave me a wink.“No,” I replied and pushed his arm away.Faster than I could blink, Wilson retaliated by landing a blow to my side. I went sprawling to the floor as the training ring erupted in an uproar and the guards all angled to
Chapter 19 Lydia’s POV I sat on the floor in shock as Wilson barked out a laugh and stood to his feet. “You still don’t understand battle tactics, Ly,” he mocked as he patted my head and turned to face the crowd cheering for him. I vaguely felt the skin on my cheek knit back together and I numbly got to my feet. “Cheer up! You fought well too." A guard tried to speak to me as I walked out of the training ring. “Let her go! She’s a sore loser. It's always like that when she loses a battle,” I heard Wilson say as the crowd laughed. “It’s fine; I’ll just comfort her later." My brain ached and my eyes tingled as I struggled to hold back my tears. I wrapped my arms around my body and kept on walking blindly back into the palace. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know me. How many years have I known Wilson yet he doesn’t know a thing about me? And me? I never believed him capable of such dishonorable battle tricks but I was wrong about this. What else could I b
LYDIA’S POV‘Stop! Stop the meeting!” I panted. Out of breath from running for so long.“What are you doing here?” Freya sneered. Why was she even in the meeting?“Lydia?” Darwin asked in confusion as he stood to his feet.I turned to Darwin and pointed a finger at Wallace.“He’s a fraud. He doesn’t have the life elixir or even know a thing about it. End this sham of a meeting now Darwin, before you get duped,” Wallace’s face turned red, as be spluttered angrily.“Who are you?” Wallace hissed in annoyance. “Guards! Remove this gremlin from here!” A shadow crossed Darwin’s face as he stalked over to me.“That’s my bride Wallace. Watch your tongue or you won’t have one anymore,” Relief filled me. He believed me!As Darwin got to me, I launched myself at him and hugged him tightly. “Wait, Lydia. Can you please explain?” Darwin asked as he held my arms gently and moved me back so he could look in my face.“Wallace is a fraud. He doesn’t have the elixir of life NO one does,”A funny lo
LYDIA’s POV “Darwin!” I gasped as I shook my head slowly and began to step backward. “Lydia, WHAT PLAN?!” Fear rushed down my spine and my heart rate increased. I have never seen him look so angry. “N n…th-” I stuttered, unsure of what to say. “Forgive her, my king! When she came up with the idea of pretending to accept you just so she could blackmail you, I warned her. And I tried to stop her, I swear it!” Disappointment left a foul taste in my mouth as Wilson crashed to his knees before Darwin and threw all the blame on me. “That’s not true, Wilson, and you know it!” I snapped angrily Freya’s shock seemed to ebb off into anger as she hissed angrily. “So this is what you’re truly like?” She scoffed and shook her head. “I always knew you were desperate but how dare you! The child of a servant trying to take advantage of the rogue king!” I rolled my eyes at Freya and turned to Darwin. “You know that’s not true. You know me, right? I didn’t-” “That night you were with my lap
Chapter 22Lydia’s PovI watched in horror as Darwin wrapped his hand around the elixir on Wilson’s throat and snapped it off.“Darwin!” I pushed past a shocked Margery and ran up to stop him from doing anything stupid.“No, Lydia!” Darwin growled angrily as he whipped his head to me.“I asked you! Again and again about the elixir and you liedl”My tears fell down my cheeks as I tried and failed to grab onto his arm.“It wasn’t my secret to tell!” I shook my head to get him to believe me.“I I tried to warn you and tried to—““Tried to gather information so you could blackmail me!” Darwin was so angry he was past caring.Just then a static sound filled my head. I lost all sense of my thoughts as I shut my eyes and gripped my head to get the sound to stop.And it stopped. Only I somehow knew I was in someone else’s head.“Amari!” Darwin’s wavy voice filled my head.“Get the guards here Now!”I froze wide-eyed in shock. Did I just hear the mind link between Darwin and his commander?“D

Chapter 23 I stood, unseeing, with my eyes wide open. Darwin let out a choked sound and staggered back a bit. Between the two of us, I didn’t know who was more shocked by Freya’s outrageous announcement. “You’re pregnant?” I turned to Wilson in shock. “You’re not even married to her yet?!” “So?!” Freya yelled defiantly as she grabbed Wilson’s arm from a stunned guard. “We love each other!” I stood and waited for a second. Two seconds. Ten seconds? I was waiting to feel some kind of pain that would tell me if I still had feelings for Wilson. But Nothing. “You can't kill him." I sighed numbly as I turned back to Darwin. “He’s your son-in-law and apparently the father of your possible heir. “He should have thought of that before taking advantage of my daughter!,” Darwin growled in shock as color began to rush back into his face. “Lock him up in the cells!” I should protest. Say something or do something to help Wilson but as I watched the guards drag a screaming Wilson from the
Darwin’s POVI walked up and down the closet, fuming in silent anger. She betrayed me!I laid down my heart and trusted her yet she betrayed me! From the closet, I could hear the sound of her moving up and down in the room. What was she even doing there? Should I send her to another room?With a deep sigh, I tied the strings of my sweatpants and strode into the room.“Are you ready to go to bed?” Her floral scent slammed into me as my wolf whined pitifully.“What are you doing? I narrowed my eyes as I gave her a once-over. She just came out of the bathroom. Her wet, dark hair was plastered to her face, and the night dress she had on, sent a bitter taste to my tongue. I missed seeing her in my shirt.“I was just making the bed. It’s late and we need to sleep." Is she trying to get me to sleep so she can steal back the elixir?“Why are you so anxious for me to sleep? Planning to start another stage of your plan?” I sneered as I dropped into the bed, trying my best not to notice how t
Epilogue “Lydia! Hurry!” Lily waddled to my side with her hand on her stomach. She paused and stared at the scene before her with a smile on her face. “Just how many people are walking you down the aisle?” I chuckled and looked from Vren to Serena and Freya “Well you can’t fault me for having three people to walk me. Besides this is my third wedding,” Everyone chuckled and Lily rolled her eyes. “Enough of all this. Everyone in the hall now! Before Margery comes and here and catches this scene,” “Sorry guys,” I laughed as the palace guards opened the hall doors and they shuffled away in a file. “Not you Vren,” Lily called out at the last minute. “ I mean, your highness? What am I supposed to address you as?” Lily bowed with a chuckle. “Nonsense. That’s not necessary, especially in your condition,” Vren shook his head, making me smile. In the last four months I spent in Thoranelle learning the ropes, we had grown incredibly closer. Yes, you read that right. Vren stepped down f
My vision blurred with tears and I made to run to him when Lyssandra stepped in front of me and shook her head.“Uh-huh,” she chuckled. “If you belong to me now, you cannot go running to them at the slightest provocation,”A humorless chuckle left me as my tears spilled down my cheeks. She had been married to and mates to this man. How could she be so heartless?“Then call them off. Call of your guard dogs,” I whispered pleadingly.“Of course,” she purred and snapped her fingers.Like as though we were in some sort of trance, the entire palace went silent.The only sound was Margery’s soft groaning from where she lay on the floor.My eyes found Darwin and relief rushed through me as I saw he was still standing but he was losing blood and fast.I tried to move to him but the hall swam before my eyes and I paused.Lyssandra chuckled and picked up the bloodied knife from the floor.“You belong to me now,” she smirked as she lifted the knife to my throat.I swallowed. This is it, she’s fi
Chapter 113A still calm seemed to come over me as I moved back from Lily and staggered to my feet.Blood was still flowing from the wound in my hand. My legs shook as I stared at Margery on the floor.She had her hand on her stomach where blood was pooling fast.Her lips were white as she groaned softly.Vren was here. What? How?My shock was replaced by fear as Vren screamed in pain and crashed to the floor beside Margery.All around me, the people I loved were hurt and in pain because of this woman.Drusilla growled in anger and my entire frame trembled badly. I knew she wanted to shift and take over and I wanted to let her. So badly.But Margery needed my help, I moved to Margery’s side as quickly as I could and pressed my dripping palm to her lips.“W what?-“ Vren raised his crazed eyes to me but I didn’t have time for that.I couldn’t focus, not when this woman had control of all the pack members.My head swiveled, searching for Lyssandra and where Darwin had gone.“Shit!” Amari
Chapter 112Lydia’s POVI staggered out of the lab, my leg aching a bit, where I had repeatedly hit it against the door to force it open.From the hallway, I could hear sounds and what seemed to be screams. What the hell was happening?!Fear rushed through me and I flew down the hallway at lightning speed.“Lydia?!” Dimitri called my name a second before I went crashing into him.He held me from falling “What happened?! Where were you?! I thought you were on the aisle then next thing—““You thought I was on the aisle?! They were two brides?!” Shit! Lyssandra planned to pose as me.“Yeah and—“I paused Dimitri and listened in fear again as more loud shouts carried over to me. They seemed to be intensifying.“What the hell is going on?!” It sounded like protests Dimitri and I broke into a run as pack members began to flood into the palace.“Shit!” I swore under my breath.“Your majesty, over here!” Alexander and my guards covered Dimitri and me as the pack members yelled.The sounds o
The Wedding.“And you're certain this plan will work?!” Dimitri asked for the hundredth time.“Shut up and get out of my head,” I hissed impatiently. “We don’t have a choice. It's too late to make adjustments. We just have to carry on and hope for the best,”A knock sounded at my bedroom door, I got to my feet slowly and turned around as the door opened and Margery filed in with a team of beauty professionals.“Good morning Your Majesty,” she chirped happily and clapped her hands. “It’s time for your wedding!”Her good mood was infectious and my lips tugged up in a smile too.“Morning Marge,” I smiled.“Your Majesty,” A worker passed me a cup of tea.“Thank you,” I took it and blew gently on the steam.“Okay, everyone let’s get to work,”I took my seat as they began. Within the next two hours, they worked on my nails, styled my hair, did my makeup, and helped meInto my dress.“You have impeccable taste,” I smiled at Margery and patted my hand down my white lacy dress.“I can’t decid
Chapter 110I burst into laughter, clutching my stomach as I finally sobered up.I looked from Wilson to Freya to Margery but they had straight faces.“Wait,” I sobered you and looked at them incredulously “You’re serious?!”Freya rolled her eyes and turned around to face the mirror. She uncapped a lipstick and began to scrawl on it.“Look, we've approached it from several different scenarios. I know Lyssie. She would never tell us how to break the enchantment so that’s out of it,” she drew a red X on one part of the mirror.“We can’t kidnap or hold her in some cell. Dad and I tried, we released the news she was dead and kept her incapacitated for years.She found a way to make him go crazy so he bought her the elixir,” She drew another X“She definitely won’t be repenting and turning a new leaf anytime soon, and she has started manipulating the pack members,” She drew an X with a sigh.“Manipulating the pack?” I looked at Margery. “What is she talking about,”“His Majesty requested w
Chapter 109“Thank you, Alpha for having us. Our stay at Silver Streak was memorable,”I smiled at Serena softly. Her eyes watered and to the shock of everyone around she enveloped me in a hug. I froze for a beat then gently brought my hand up to enclose her.“Thank you, Lydia. I hope everything goes well. If you need help, call me and I’ll definitely be showing up for your wedding,” Serena whispered as she stepped back with a small smile.She turned to Dimitri and I didn’t fail to notice the look that passed between the two of them.“Lycan,” Serena bowed. “Alpha,” Dimitri repeated her motion with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes in amusement, he’s never serious.“Momma!” My eyes went straight to the beautiful silver haired little girl coming our way. Anastasia held on to her hand but she was bustling full of energy and ready to bolt towards us.Of their own accord, my feet carried me a few steps toward her until we stopped before each other.“Your Majesty” she chirped and gave a cute
Chapter 108I sat beside Claire, my hand on the little heart who stole my heart with one grey eyed glance.“She’ll be fine. She’s a fighter,” Serena gave me a hopeful nod and wiped Claire’s brow with a towel.“What happened?” I voiced the question that had been eating at me since I first saw her sick frame.Serena sighed and sat up fully to look at me. “A fall,”“Pardon?” I was horrified. Just look at her, she’s tiny, how could she have fallen and just where did she fall from?“Yeah,” Serena chuckled humorlessly “My reaction exactly. She was four, a few days before her fifth birthday. She said to me— Momma can I play in the garden with Papa. I said yes,”A small gasp left me. Since she was four. That was two years ago.“They played on the trees and he left. Dave left my little girl up there alone. She fell and has been sick ever since,”Horror and blind anger rushed through me.“Oh I know,” Serena read my face and shook her head. “I wanted to crush him with my bare hands. I was so blo
Chapter 107I staggered back a bit in shock.“Your Majesty,” The servant girl dropped the bowl of water on Serena’s lap and I watched as Serena put the towel in the water, wrung it, and gently sapped her daughter’s head.Slowly, my feet carried me towards the little girl. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was even. I placed my palm on her head to feel her temperature and her eyes snapped open.“Claire?!” Serena whispered in excitement. She dropped the towel and held her daughter's hand tightly. “Claire baby,”The workers in the room began to murmur in excitement and I even saw a maid hurry off, presumably to call a doctor or nurse.Claire had her eyes open but she wasn’t staring at her mother. The baby girl was staring straight at me. I blinked in surprise.She could see me? I gave her a shaky smile and waved at her. Her eyes lit up a little and her lips moved.She mouthed two words. “Save me,” Then she closed her eyes.Her mother clearly heard her. My heart broke as Serena’s ey
