The next day I was out of the King's room as early as possible. The search for them began again. I started out by trying to find a way to communicate with Rain and Emily, so I sent one of the King's guards to go there to confirm if they were there, and I resumed my search in the palace. It was really big enough that I knew it was possible they were still here.I hated myself for leaving them by themselves, if Clyde had truly turned his back on me and did anything to harm the children, I don't want to know how terrifying it would be for them. My first thought was to go to The room where I had stayed when locks had kept me to protect me from being seen by anyone in the palace.I had barely made my way there when I noticed the swarm of people heading towards me, servants and different kinds of faces. I realized that they were an entourage when I saw Natalie leading them towards me. I crossed My arms across my chest and tried to ignore her. Her presence alone was enough to fuel my a
Once I was away from the throne room and back in the hallways, I took my cloak off, and the moment I spotted the guards that I had sent to the cottage to see if the children were there, approaching me from the opposite direction, I picked up my pace Running towards them, I almost fell until I managed to balance myself."What news do you have? Did you find them in the cottage?" They shook their heads. "No, we went there and, in fact, we even searched thoroughly. When they told us that the kids were not there, we didn't believe them, even checked the entire house, tried to catch their scent. They were not there. I don't think he has left the palace, my lady."I buried my face in my hands. I was still dealing with Natalie so much that I thought that they would bring back positive news from the cottage.I broke down crying again. What was I going to do now? I kept wondering what if they were in shock? I could not go to see the king right now because he was just so angry from everything
"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
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
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
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 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
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. Everyone just w
