“What do you mean by he's been poisoned?” I stared at him blankly. I feel like I misheard him.“We still don't know details but …”I didn't let him finish speaking. I pushed him out of my way. But, he quickly held my shoulders, rooting me to the ground. “What are you doing?”“I need to get out of here.” I yelled at him.“Get a hold of yourself, get out of here and do what?”“What do you mean he's been poisoned? I can't just stay if you're doing nothing I have to…”“We'll take care of it on the surface you just stay put.”“I can't I…”“Enough!” He raised his voice at me all of a sudden. “There is literally nothing you can do about it so just stay put and let me handle things.”I shook my head fast , “there is no way in the world I'm just going to let you lock me in you're like I'm some sort of prisoner.”“That was the deal, i'm not going to let you leave now for your own good.”I began to shake my head fast, “how is this for my own good, there is no way I can survive the king is not fin
“You don't know what you're saying, you're only speaking out of emotion, head back into the room when you relax and think things through, Then we can hold the conversation.” Beta said, shutting me out. I began to back away and he took simultaneous steps towards me.“Stay away from me,” I called in a fearful tone.I simply cannot.”“Please,” I thought that being vulnerable would get to him but the strong resistance behind his eyes was just too much.When I saw that he didn't budge. I frowned.“I am Going to scream.” I threatened him. “I thought so.”“What are you going to do to me?” My voice was filled with fear as he snaked one arm under my waist and pulled me close against his body. My hands automatically gripped on to his shoulders . He tightened his grip that was around me until I could feel his hot breath fanning against my neck, “what do you think you're doing? I repeated my question.”He held his hand up and then I felt a sharp striking pain hit my neck.“What did you just do t
Damian “So you are agreeing that the deaths were set-ups?" "It only makes sense, your majesty," one of the warriors reported. "All of the people that died were people that had feuds with the alpha of Blue Blood pack, and it only makes sense that he was responsible for their deaths," another warrior at the meeting called. "I beg to differ," Lucy said. "What about that Luna? She had no connection to him." "There were multiple bite marks all over her body, and we linked it to rogues that must have fed on her after killing her." "Why are you ruling out the fact that she could have been dead before the attack? That it is easier for them to attack a dead body than a luna," Lucy continued to argue. My attention was divided when I realized that Locks had gotten to his feet and was leaving the room. "Is there a problem?" I raised one eyebrow at him. "None, your majesty. I forgot to bring in some reports that I discovered. Permit me to get them." I nodded and watched him leave while my
Internally panicking , I proceeded to kneel in front of her. I placed one finger on the neck, and when I felt the pulse, I immediately lifted her in my hand, realizing that she was trapped in here. I pressed her against my chest and headed to my room. As soon as I got to the entrance, I yelled at the guards, “get the royal doctor.” Natalie sprang to her feet when she saw me carrying someone into the room. "What's happening?" I remembered in that instance that she was a doctor. "Check what is wrong with her?" "Kira?" She gasped. "Wasn't she missing? Hasn't she been missing for a few days now?" "Check what is wrong with her," I raised my voice, barking at her. She flinched visibly. I could see the physical spite that she held for her but she couldn't hold herself back. She immediately began to check Kira's body temperature. "She seems to be running a fever," she said in a low voice, as if she was scared of what could happen. "And I smell a great deal of wolfsbane seems like she
He stared blankly at me for a second and I almost regretted that I asked him maybe he thought I had forgotten my place but then he nodded, “not even Natalie”He looked around the room before taking his leave.Once I was alone in the King's room I looked around me in disbelief, this was not my plan at all, I had hoped that I would be far from the palace by now if not because of Lock’s suggestion. I still despised how the king made me feel but my priority was that he was fine now.I held my hand to my belly. I knew that even though things were seeming rosy right now I had to remember that the king had a mate he had marked himself and my position here would be threatened no matter how I tried to hide it. I couldn’t stay here much longer and though he had assured me that she wouldn't come here, I still needed to act and this time I was going to do it alone. I thought about Melanie and how she must have felt to find out I was missing. I knew how dangerous it was to walk alone but I still
"Ill do it," I quickly said. I had no idea what I ought to do but I didn't know what else to say.Without wasting time, the crying wife handed the child to me. i took the baby and swallowed hard."Step back everyone."They did just as I instructed.I stared at the child in my hands that had gone cold, I closed my eyes tight, all of a sudden, it felt like I was one with the child.I felt a sudden tinge I couldn't explain, almost as if my breath was gone, I struggled to catch my breath, all the air around me stiffening.As soon as I let out a loud gasp, it felt like all the air had rushed back into my lungs.I flinched as the child in my arms suddenly began to wail.The mother took the baby from me in a breeze."What did I do?" I said in a low tone."Thank you!" The mother of the child cried out loud, "you saved my child's life! Thank you so much!"I kept my head bowed at them the whole time. I wasn't sure what it was I did but I brought that child back to life.I gasped in fear as soon
I closed my eyes tight , and for the first time in a long time, I felt a hint of betrayal that I had thought I would never experience in my life. I slowly scanned the crowd to see if the King would show up. I hated that every time he left me to be on my own, there was always one trouble after the other that rose up."Why, Melanie?" I thought to myself, slowly blinking the tears that were trying to fall.I was drawn back to reality as all of them began to near me, trying to attack me, throwing stones at me, not caring where it hit. All of a sudden, I thought about the child in my womb and what I would do if it got hurt. That was all I had left. I could not risk it. I had no idea where the strength came from, but all I did was stare at the crowd. And I felt like a sudden surge of wind overcame the entire palace, as those who were approaching me all fell backwards."Kill her. She's a witch…Did you see what just happened? Are you all seeing this? Am I the only one watching? Why are we all
Even after I had crossed the border, I did not stop running.I kept hoping to hear the King's voice as he called my name, but it didn't come. Tears flowed down my face, and I couldn't hold them back. I just let it happen.I tried to shift into my wolf, but she was not responding. I was too weak to do anything. I got serious déjà vu from the day I had escaped from my previous pack. Why was my life like this? What did the moon goddess want from me? What kind of curse had she placed on me that everything always turned out like this?Maybe I wasn't a healer after all. I think the King knew what It was why he and Locks had just been pretending because they wanted to keep me safe, but whole time, I was just truly a witch. What was I going to do now? I had no way to protect my child, and I didn't even have Locks here with me."Don't deceive yourself," I said after I stopped running. "There was no way they would protect you anyway." I sat on the floor behind a tree, my back against it, and wep
IThe king finally set me to my feet. After a long time of arguing, it felt like we had been walking for miles and miles. I completely lost my senses at one point, but I kept going because I was the one who insisted on coming here. We got to a cave, and it was huge. It was hidden in the mountains, and it could take all the warriors that were present. They only created a separate space for Alpha because he was the king and did not want to share all the space with everyone. He held my hand."What do you think you're doing?" he raised one eyebrow at me. "I'm going to settle in with everyone. I guess we all need to sleep before the big battle tomorrow." I shrugged at him. "Have you lost your mind?" He took me, pulling me closer to him. "Why would you sleep with all these men around? Come on, you're going to stay in the same cave as me.""But do you think that is disrespectful? I'm not your maid or anything. Everyone would get upset.""Nobody's getting upset, trust me.

I remembered her name. Instantly, I knew that she was his previous mate, he had never fully told me the story of how she passed away. And so, I furrowed my eyebrows together, staring at him with a lot of confusion. "What do you mean, Libianca?"He suddenly bowed his head as if the memory of a person was taunting him. “It was like a situation like this too. We were going on war. She was a warrior this entire time. I knew that I should not have asked her to come on that journey, and I knew that she was not strong enough. But my selfishness, because I couldn't stay away from her for even a second. Was the reason why I convinced her to come to the war and I lost her, I'm not about to do that with you too. You're too weak for this kind of work. I'm telling you that I might not even survive. And you think that I will let you come along? What about the children?"“I already spoke to Locks about it and he's willing to take care of them under his protection.”"What.""Yes, that is how determin
The next morning, I was awake before it was even five in the morning. The king was still sleeping in bed, and so were the children.I had made up my mind, and I knew what I wanted to do. I got to my feet and I crept out of the door as quietly as I possibly could. I went to find Locks in the room that I thought belonged to him, and I was surprised when I knocked the door, and he was still in charge of this room.His eyes were heavy with sleep, and when he opened the door as if he wasn't expecting it to be me, he widened his eyes in shock and slammed the door in my face.I flinched, taken aback, wondering what was going on. He reopened the door a few seconds later. His face was washed, and he had packed his hair up. I couldn't help but smile. I wondered why on earth he was trying to look good for me."Hey, I wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry to come and barge into your room so early this morning.""What did you want to talk about?""So I know that you discussed with me about the King's W
I was shocked by Clyde's love confession. "What? What are you talking about?""Yes, that's the problem. I was also wondering why I was being so dramatic until I saw you with the king. The way you were smiling with him. It reminded me that the first day I saw you, I loved you from the start until you gave me that boundary, and I was going to keep it until the very end. But I didn't realize how jealous you've been with somebody else was going to make me so—-“ he groaned. "Trust me, I would still do it again if I havethe chance to.”“I'm not interested in all this nonsense that you're going on flapping about.” “I know it seems like I’m saying bullshit but as long as you're with the King, I will not back down, and I won't give up." I stood to my feet. "Clearly, you've gone mad, and I'm going to give you the chance to heal before I release you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be in this dungeon forever. It's just until you learn your lesson and learn that there are some things that you ne
I was still trying to process what he had said when the children started to cheer they had already heard what he said. "Yes Mommy, please let's stay in this big fancy room." They both started jumping on the bed, playing and giggling at the big bed. I turned to look at him."Why would you say that in front of them? Now I can't say no," he whispered in my ear. "Are you sure you can't say no because of them or because you don't want to?" I found that in the end, he was right. I could easily change my mind if I wanted. A part of me wanted to stay in this room with him. "Fine, but only because the children want it," I told him. "And don’t hold me like that in their presence." I warned him."You two must be very hungry." I turned to face them with a smile. "Yes, Mommy." "Okay, I'll go make you something to eat. Don't worry. You don't have to stress about that, I'll ask One of the guards to prepare something for them to eat.""Hell no I can't trust anybody in this palacs especially wi
"Where is he?" I asked them on top of my lungs, running away from them as if I knew where they would be.They ran after me, trying to keep up with my pace. "They are in the King's room with the king and a few guards."I increased my pace as if my life was about to end.I burst into the King's room, and I saw the children sitting on the bed.The king was still partially in his wolf form. His claws were still his wolves, and his body was still covered. His eyes were struggling, a very bright red. I wondered how the children were not terrified of his image.As soon as they saw me, they jumped to their feet, from where They were sitting and ran into my arms.I crouched to their height as they both came so hug me. I began to cry, checking their faces and inspecting them for injuries."Oh my goodness, my babies. How have you guys been?""Mommy I've missed you so much." Leah beamed."Me too," Leo said, showing off his shirt that the King gave to him."Oh my goodness." I turned around to look
