Chapter 21

Kellan walked away from Gemma and settled onto the bed, shaking his head. He picked up his phone and dialed a number before pressing it against his ear, letting out a deep sigh."Come, I need you to show Gemma to her room," Kellan said into the phone before he disconnected it.He looked up to see Gemma staring at him with a downtrodden expression, and he felt guilt gnawing at him in his chest. He didn't mean to hurt her, but something didn't feel right, and he knew he couldn't keep it to himself. He needed to figure out what was wrong on his own."Is everything ok?" Gemma asked, disappointment still evident in her eyes."Yes, I just need a minute to sort out my emotions," Kellan replied without looking up at her."Are you sure? I'm sorry if I did anything wrong," Gemma apologized, a sad expression settling on her face."You didn't do anything wrong. Rick will be here to show you to your room soon," Kellan spoke, an air of finality in his tone that made Gemma remain silent.She watched

Chapter 22

Kellan looked from Scarlett to Gemma, attempting to gauge their emotions.The tense atmosphere in the room he had just entered gave a clear indication that the women were not at peace.And the way Scarlett's foot kept on tapping on the floor as she glared at Gemma who was gladly returning the glare said a lot."What is going on here?" Kellan fixed his gaze on Scarlett, who averted her eyes from Gemma, who she had been giving a death glare, and looked at him.Kellan could see her eyes soften, but the resent was still there and it made him wonder what Gemma could have done to provoke Scarlett's wrath."Nothing of concern, my king," Scarlett said, bowing her head in submission.Kellan passed a suspicious stare at them."Hopefully, that's the case. You may leave," Kellan said with a stern expression.Scarlett looked at him for a moment before she turned and walked out of the room, as Kellan had dismissed her.As he watched her leave, the hurt he had seen in her eyes when she glanced at hi

Chapter 23

Kellan walked into the dining room and settled into the chair as the maid placed his meal in front of him.He glanced at the plate before him and turned to a guard who stood nearby, ready to assist if needed."Fetch me my mate," he instructed, and the guard bowed before heading towards Gemma's room.It didn't take long before a beaming Gemma appeared in front of Kellan and took a seat at the table opposite him."Good morning, My king," she stuttered.It had been a day since her confrontation with Scarlett, and the embarrassment from that day still lingered in her mind."Morning, Gemma," Kellan's husky voice greeted her, and she bit her lip before catching herself and letting it go immediately."I hope you slept well, my king?" She asked, her voice still filled with excitement at being invited to breakfast by the king."I did. I know you did too," Kellan offered a weak smile, which she gladly returned with a wide one.Gemma was about to reply when the maids entered, carrying a tray of

Chapter 24

Kellan seemed to sense a familiar presence in the restaurant, and when he looked up from his meal to scan the room, he found Scarlett standing at the entrance with his brother, Negan.He could barely believe his eyes. He had never expected to see Scarlett here, especially not with his brother.He had no idea their relationship had become so serious. Suddenly, Negan wrapping his hand around Scarlett's shoulder earlier that day made sense.Despite warning her about his brother, she seemed to have turned a deaf ear and went ahead to be with him.Annoyance burned inside him, but he managed to hide it as he tapped his fork against the plate rhythmically.Negan noticed Kellan's gaze fixed on him and Gemma's table. He strolled toward them, holding Scarlett's hand tightly."You came here with your mate, brother," Negan flashed a smirk."As you can see," Kellan's voice came out low and annoyed."Well, I came here with Scarlett," Negan continued, clearly enjoying provoking his brother. Kellan g

Chapter 25

Scarlett felt like a searing blade had pierced her chest when the king yelled at her, causing her to step back.She bowed her head to the ground."I asked you a question, and I am expecting an answer!" Kellan's voice thundered once more in the room. Scarlett looked up, ready to speak, when Negan stepped in front of her, shielding her from his brother's death glares."You should take it easy on her. I'm sure nobody would harm an untriggered person," Negan defended her, and she felt her heart warm a little."Step back, Negan," Kellan growled at his brother, clearly displeased that he was standing in his way. "I am not talking to you, and this is none of your business, so move out of my way."Negan stepped aside. Kellan was the king, and even though he was his brother, Negan knew better than to incur the king's wrath."Apologize to Gemma this moment," Kellan turned to Scarlett as he commanded her.Scarlett could not believe her ears! Had he just asked her to apologize to Gemma without ev

Chapter 26

Negan's eyes held amused looks as he stared at Scarlett, wondering what she was talking about. For some reasons, he allowed her imaginations to continue running wild as he smiled at her, replacing the amused look in his eyes with a caring one."What made you ask me that?" He asked, turning fully to face her.Scarlett blinked, searching his face, trying to guess the answer to her question."No.... nothing. I...just felt there could be a connection between us, and I was wondering if you could be someone I was expecting." She mumbled an awkward reply.Negan chuckled, and was about replying when it started to drizzle. "Oh no. I don't think the gods wants us to continue this conversation. I think it's time we head back to the pack. I don't want your boss thinking I've stolen you." He said and chuckled again.Scarlett smiled back, and sighed. She couldn't help but think about the situation with Gemma and the Alpha."Yeah. We should head back." Scarlett agreed, picking herself up from where

Chapter 27

Gemma got into her room, her limbs shaking. She paced to and fro with a furious look on her face."No. No. You need to leave, Scarlett. There's no way I'm gonna let you stay here, and destroy my plans to be with the king." She breathed heavily, and walked straight to her dresser to pick up her phone, and dialled Rolf's line.Few seconds after the second ring, the line was connected."Gemma. Are you okay? You should be sleeping by now." Rolf said from the other end.Gemma scoffed, and shook her head. "Who sleeps when their roof is on fire?" She retorted."Okay. What is it this time? I guess this "fire" you are talking about has a name.""Of course, it has a name! You need to come up with plans on how I can get Scarlett out of the pack. Urgently. If I don't do something, she's gonna ruin my plans of becoming the King's mate."Rolf sighed from the other line. "Can we talk about this tomorrow? Sleep for now, and calm your nerves. Then, tomorrow, you can calmly explain what happened to me

Chapter 28

He was dressed in his regalia which screamed wealth. A look at him was enough to know who he was.Zeke sat in the waiting room, his long legs crossed out in front of him. He'd been offered a bottle of wine with a glass cup by the side, but he hadn't touched it. He continued to look around, waiting for.who he wanted to see.Half an hour later, after sitting for what seemed like ages, Kellan finally emerged, looking like the King he was."Finally, King Kellan! For a minute, I thought you weren't gonna see me." Zeke said, standing up on his feet. He bowed his head slightly, a smile on his face."To what do I owe this early visit?, It's barely 9 o'clock in the morning." Kellan said icily, glaring at Zeke. The young man looked like a clown to him. Everything he'd heard about him crossed his mind, worsening Kellan's mood. However, Zeke was the son of a notable and well respected Alpha Maverick of the Darkmoon park. It was hard to turn him down. He walked to the opposite sofa, and sat down.

Chapter 29

Scarlett turned abruptly, and started to walk away. However, Zeke followed her, gripping her wrist, and forcefully turning her around."I'm still talk to you!!"Scarlett saw bright red. Without thinking twice, she raised her leg in the air, smashing it against Zeke's side.He dodged her blow, and pushed his hand against her chest instead, and sent her tumbling backwards in the process.Scarlett gasped, her hands on her chest. She glared up fiercely at Zeke, and bounced back on her feet. With a war cry, she charged after him, and a fight ensured.From a distance, Kellan stood watching them. He'd come all the way down to have a walk around the pack with his beta when they heard Scarlet's cry. *"I should go separate them." Rick said to Kellan, taking a step but was stopped by kellan himself."Let them fight. Scarlett can take care of herself, and this is a perfect opportunity to see if Zeke us really qualified to go with us to Dark City."Rick nodded, stepping away, and together with k

"I thought you were never gonna come by." Negan said immediately Coraline got to the little stream situated few meters away from the garden. He was sitting on a large stone, throwing stones into the water.Scarlett rolled her eyes, sitting beside him. "You can't imagine how busy my morning has been going."Negan chuckled. "You mean your fight with prince Zeke?"Scarlett turned to look at him, surprised. "Wow. News do really travel very fast. How did you know about that?" She wondered."Well," Negan shrugged, "like you said; news travels very fast.""Yeah. I can see that.""I'm not worried, because I know you must have dealt with him." Negan said, throwing another stone into the water."Don't be so sure, Negan. He actually put me to the floor. I guess I was weak at the time.""That's understandable, he's your ex after all, and memories can make you weak." Negan replied with a shrug."Oh, no. The memories didn't make me weak. What made me weak was the overwhelming anger I felt towards
