Chapter 185After plenty of her silent crying, Lena finally fell asleep with the help of stacey. Immediately Stacey saw that she was sleeping soundly, she stood up and stride towards the door, leaving gently and quietly. She had just closed the door when she got the biggest jumpscare of her life, hissing out as she eyed him,“I’m sorry for scaring you. I was just waiting for you to come out. Is she finally asleep?” Ronan asked.“Yes. Yes. She is. And we need to talk.” She said after recovering and walking away from him. “What do we need to talk about? I thought everything was settled.” “Not everything is settled. We need to talk.” Stacey replied without sparing him a glance, walking straight to his study room. She opened the door and went straight to her chair, taking her seat while Ronan closed the door as he entered. Instead of taking his seat in front of her, he took the one beside her, turning her chair to face him as he stared back at her,“So what do we need to talk about?” H
Chapter 186The priestess narrated everything to Stacey, how she met with her mother, how they became friends and all the fun stuff that they did together. The happy times. She told her how her father was so madly in love with her mother, he cared for her deeply and greatly, took care of her and spent all his time on her.But the more Stacey dugged everything up, the more she found it hard to believe. The woman she grew up to know as mother never really had any interactions with her father. They mostly fought, yelled at each other and argued on things she had no idea about. It was always one thing or the other for the two of them,and with what she saw when growing up, they could never stand each other not to talk of loving each other.“I don’t know how she died, or when she died. I have no idea about it, but he loved her deeply and greatly.” The priestess finished to her, leaving her with a pool of tears streaming down her face.She stood up abruptly, dashing out of the house and insi
Chapter 187It was not until late night that both Stacey and Lena woke up. The dinner table was set already as the maids led them there after fully clothed. Both of them had a tired look on their face, scrunched up as if they were bored of everything about life. Stacey was the last to enter the dining table, her feet halting immediately at the sight of someone sitting on the table apart from Lena and Ronan.“What’s she doing here? I thought I asked her to be locked inside forever.”Lena eyed Janiya lazily and signaled to Stacey to come and seat, which Stacey replied to instantly. She walked towards the table, her eyes still on Janiya with a frown etched on her face.“Where’s Ronan?” She questioned.“He stood up to bring something now. He will be back soon.” Janiya retorted, her face heavy with make-up.“Ronan brought her in here, I asked him the same thing and he said it was a grand reveal surprise.”“I wonder what the surprise might be..” Janiya said, excitement in her voice. She ey
Chapter 188“What!” Janiya screamed out.“It’s either that or you get killed and thrown into the dungeon like the rest of the traitors, pick a side.” Stacey spat back at her.She calmed down immediately, her body relaxing back into the chair as she gulped down. She shouldn’t have come for dinner. Suddenly, she pushed the chair backwards, going on her knees and clasping her hands together,“I have nowhere to go. I have no family again. My father is dead, my mate is chained. I have nowhere to go. Please, Ronan. Please help me. Please.” She said as water began to drop from her eyes.Lena scoffed out, slamming her spoon on the table in anger as she scoffed out again,“You’re supposed to be begging Stacey, you know that right? But your ego and pride won’t even let you do that.” “That’s my final decision Janiya. It’s either that or the dungeon. You pick a side.” He replied to her gently.Her sobs and wails shook the entire room, everyone blocking their ears out as she screamed out abruptly
Chapter 189Immediately the maids were done dressing her up, they excused themselves, leaving the room for only Stacey and Ronan. Ronan walked towards her, placing a kiss on her cheeks as he smiled at her through the mirror. Stacey stood up from the chair and faced him, her eyes doed like a baby,“What’s all this for?”He stretched his hand to her as she placed hers in it, bringing it close to his lips and placing a kiss on it.“Walk with me.” He said.Stacey smiled back at him, confusion laced around her features with her brow taking a little raise. Ronan led her outside the room, the both of them walking along the silent hallways and towards the entrance of the house.“We’re going out?”“Not really. Just a little stroll.” He replied and darted his eyes to her.The both of them walked in silence, each of them lost in their thoughts. Stacey was now feeling better compared to the afternoon, she had taken all the news in and digested and dissected it. Her mother was dead but one thing s
Chapter 190Stacey stared at him with a raised brow, eyeing him carefully and waiting for him to say whatever he had in his mouth.“Can you stand up?” He asked, standing up from where he was also seated too. Stacey’s forehead creased with lines, but she stood up. Ronan stretched his hand out for her to come closer to him, the more he asked for more things, the more suspicious Stacey got of his actions. “So I’ve been doing some thinking,” he said when she was close up with no gap left between them. Stacey stared at him expectantly, her eyes following every of his features, reading his lips despite that she can hear what he was saying,“I’ve been thinking, and I think it’s time for me to say it out.”“Say what?” She interrupted with a small smile.“I’ve seen how much you love love, and how much you’re scared of falling in love but despite that, you’ve loved and supported me every minute and second.” Ronan whispered to her, breaking a cute smile on her face.Her eyes formed into cresc
Chapter 191Minutes and hours into the search and still no trace of Stacey has appeared. Ronan was pacing back and forth, his thoughts scattered all over the place as he closed his eyes to think. Eric…“Ronan, I think you need to alert everyone…He tried to tune Lena’s voice out, wanting to focus on everything that has been happening. Eric has been taken out, Lucien out of the way too…“Ronan, if you…“Can you just keep quiet, Lena!” He snapped out, opening his angry and fierce eyes as he blazed at her.Lena bowed down immediately, taking some steps back away from him as he closed his eyes again and continued pacing back and forth, his thoughts in a haze. They’ve cleared Eric out, cleared Lucien out, cleared Janiya and her whole parents out, Eric’s mother in the dungeon too. Who else could have kidnapped Stacey, even to the point of knowing his plans to be in the forest?“Lena, did you tell anyone about the proposal?”“No.” Lena said, her eyes widening instantly as she eyed him. “Are
Chapter 192“How is Alpha Callus pack cleaning going?” Ronan asked immediately he was done reading the letter. According to Elder Chris in the letter, he wanted to be the alpha of all two packs that they wiped out, both Stacey's father pack and Alpha Callus pack, only that would return the Luna safely. And his last words were,“If you ever try anything funny, like looking for me, or trying to find me, I’ll kill her and slice every part of her, send it to you bits by bits and make it torment your life forever.” “We’re almost done. Some of the other alphas are requesting a meeting.” Ronan smirked, an idea popping to his head. A wide grin bloomed on his lips as he stood up,“Clean both packs that he wants, set a trap, get an alpha’s meeting for all packs and we would organize it for him.” Ronan said. “What kind of trap, your highness?”He opened his mouth to say something but kept quiet again. He didn’t know if he could trust anyone amongst them as they all might be working together.
