Ruby's POV"Mother! You came!" I desperately called out. "Ruby? Why have you sent a message by a servant?" she asked appalled. "Do not think of yourself so highly that you cannot meet your own daughter! I need your help," I pleaded. "Why would I help you? You are a traitor and a murderer," my mother spat. "With everything you took from me, you owe me! Why haven't you let me see my daughter, Vidalia? I entrusted her to you and now you keep her hidden from me after everything!" I whisper shouted. "I owe you nothing! You have disgraced this family over and over. I will NOT let you drag me or Vidalia down with you!" She snapped back. "I would choose my words carefully," I said inconspicuously pulling my knife out from my belt.I backed down once I spotted my little brother, Lex step from behind a tree. My mother retreated back toward the palace."Now, now, sister. I know she could be a hand full but killing her would only place an even bigger target on your back," Lex smirked before pulli

McKenna's POV "What's his problem? Did you finally tell him off?" Jubilee joked. "It is nothing to be concerned about. He may not be on board with our entire plan, but he will get there," I replied pecking his lips. "I love you and I want you to know if there is anything I should know. Please don't keep it from me, okay?" He asked. "What about you? Is there anything I should know before I am hit in the face with it?" I asked. "Now is not the time for it. I promise that after we get what we need during the coronation, I must tell you my secret," he sighed. "And you'll tell me yours," he added kissing my forehead. I watched him load our horses with everything we needed. He didn't know what I was hiding and I have no intentions of telling him that I loved both him and Lincoln. It's too painful to even consider the possibility of it. I would never admit that to myself or anyone for that matter. I bear his mark and will forever remain loyal to him until the day one of us dies."Long day?

Oliver's POVBefore the coronation…"GUARD!” Alpha Lex of Tirado sounded off.He did this when he felt there was an in enemy threat lingering near. Alpha Lex was extra jumpy today for some reason."I expect the four of you to protect my betrothed upon her arrival to Klaus today," his voice boomed.We all nodded in agreement. I was the first to volunteer when the Knight commander gave out assignments. I guess I know why he's jumpy now. Apparently, he's slowed down his monstrosity to appropriately mate with my sister. The thought sickened me because I wished to kill the bastard and his brother, Essex for hurting my sister."No funny business! Alpha Lex will have your heads if anyone of you even look at Lady Octavia," the knight commander said before leaving us in the hall.I knew what my role was. My mother and fathers had it all figured out, but whatever Octavia planned to do was still a mystery."You four must be the new knights," Octavia said with a mischievous grin. "Yes, my lady,"

Jamela's POV How could he do this to me? NO! I should be mad at myself. I never allow myself to get close to people. This last year had been heavenly. I should have known it would end badly. He cheated on me, but is it cheating when it's your true mate? I'm not marked. This is such a disaster! "Jamela, are you okay?" I heard my half-sister, Lily ask worriedly. “What are you doing here?" I snapped. "Well, I'm here for one of my best friends wedding of course. I noticed you were upset. So, I followed you,” she shrugged. "Well, I don't want you here!" I shouted. "Why are you like this? How could you not let your only sister be there for you?" Lily asked appalled. "Because you were never there for me! Why start now?" I asked standing to my feet. "What are you even talking about?" she asked dumbfounded. "We used to be best friends! I was your big sister and you were my confidant. One day you just...changed!" She angrily shouted. "Are you fucking serious? After my mother died and I began

McKenna's POV "Jamela! Are you okay?" I asked taking in her flustered appearance. “No," she replied slumping over in defeat. She began to sob uncontrollably. I feared something serious had happened, but our sentinels said we were in the clear. As a matter of fact, we had began taken their gun powder, grain, and beans amongst other things. We were waiting to free the list of innocents one of our inside warriors had given us thanks to Gamma Felius close ties with some loyal knights from the palace during Lincoln's reign. "What is it?" I asked. "It's not important. I did as you asked. The Queen had retired for the night," Jamela said obviously wallowing in pain. "Thank you, but this conversation is far from over," I said grabbing her chin. "Okay," she sighed. I gave Lincoln, Jubilee, and Felius the cue. We rushed to climb alongside the palace. Jamela ensured we had a way up before she joined the rest of the party in the ballroom as if she was there the entire time. "That's it," Linc
