AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri could not wrap his head around the ridiculousness of it all—how he was quickly accused of this great crime of committing adultery with Vera, the king's concubine, and immediately locked up without the council giving him the benefit of the doubt or a chance to deny the allegation. He wasn't only surprised by the absurdity of it all, but also by how the Council didn’t discuss getting Princess Darcy back. Henri could not imagine what might have gone wrong with that little princess, and her uncle Aric, who was supposed to be enthusiastic about finding her, seemed so relaxed, instead fighting a power struggle. Henri growled as he banged the cell gate continuously. "I need to get out of here and find the Princess! Do you think the king would do this to me if he were here? What is this misplaced priority?" Henri growled loudly, hoping there was anyone from the council behind the dungeon. Just as he ha

AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in

AVA KILLIAN "You'll do no such thing," a voice broke in—it was Henri's. Ava could see the shock on Kaila's face when she heard Henri walk into the room. Shouldn't Henri be dead by now? "You! You? How did you escape?" Kaila asked, her brows furrowed. "You should leave, Kaila. The king's health is paramount. Don't yell here," Henri said. "You can't tell me what not to do! Let this woman be locked up at once! You do not have the authority to command me around," Kaila yelled as the guards walked toward Ava. Ava stepped backward, seeing that Kaila held significant power over them after being made Queen Consort. "Don't you dare touch the king's..." Henri started but paused, thinking of what to call Ava—whether the king's slave or mate. The king hadn't yet pronounced her his mate. "Don't touch her!" Henri simply said, and the guards halted. Jared Ashtower came in and slipped his hand into Ava's. The slight touch sent shivers down her spine as she looked up at his handsome face. "I'll

AXEL VOSS It had been over a week and there was no sign of Axel waking up from his unconsciousness, the maester's and the physicians never left his side for once. Working hard for the recovery of the king, Both using the medical and ancient methods, Apparently the poison Cahir had shot him with was unlike any they'd ever seen—a foul blend of aconite-wolfsbane and silver powder, Lupine’s Bane, crafted to hunt him. It leeched through his blood, burned his muscles, suffocated his bones.. This had essentially destroyed his regenerative ability and rendering him unconscious for this long, and worst preventing any natural recovery. Inside his mind, a storm of memories came. Axel was trapped in a pit of despair where past horrors played on an endless loop, darkened visions seared into his closed eyes. His consciousness was fractured, seized by the primal instinct of his wolf nature, but unable to release him from the cage of his human pain, as his mind still swirl and suffer the ordeal

AVA KILLIAN "Would you kill me for ?" Ava asked and Jared was taking aback for a second, it was a knight's duty to protect, and even kill anyone who poses harm to those under their protection.He took it that way and replied."Ofcouse I would." Jared had said.Ava had now somehow left the palace in protection of Jared, "For me to trust you and your words, you should be able to at least keep this little secret with you" Ava had said to him. And Jared kept to his words and illegally brought Ava outside the palace to the ocean's shore where ashes of the dead, the ashes of capital sinners, and unclaimed body were disposed.Layla's ashes was most probably disposed there too, She wanted to visit Layla's resting place first, and make her promise to her. Ava took a deep breath as the ocean stretched before her, the breeze blowing on her face and for a brief moment she could perceive that sweet scent of Layla. Her kindness, her loyalty. Dieing unjustified like that made her heart ache, she
