Chapter 31

The lycan king sat at a small table in a sunroom filled with all kinds of plants. Unlike outside, the air was humid and warm. “You wanted to see me?” I asked, walking into the room. Remembering Alyssa’s words, I tried to keep my anger in check.The lycan king stood up and walked over to me, looking me up and down. “Yes, I did. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. You’ve grown up into quite a man, Kalen.” Sensing my irritation the king added, “Can’t a grandfather not be curious about his grandson?”“Not when it’s you,” I told him. “Your flattery usually comes with strings attached. So what do you want?”Instead of getting angry, the lycan king gave me a brief smile as he turned and walked back to his chair. “She’s lovely,” he said, and before I could ask, he continued. “After everything, I am glad Alyssa is with you instead of that sad excuse of a husband, or should I say ex-husband, now.”“What?” I asked before I could stop myself and the king glanced back at me with a smile, pleased

Chapter 32

I splashed chilly water on my face as I tried to wash the fear and desperation away. The nightmares felt worse now that I was here, near Carl. I blew out a breath, trying to calm and recollect myself. Turning to open the door, I gasped when I saw Kalen standing in the doorway.“We need to talk,” he said, his tone serious. “What was that?”“A nightmare,” I admitted. “Sorry, I should’ve warned you.”“You were screaming as if you were being murdered. What are you dreaming about?” he asked, and despite the harshness in his voice, I heard more concern than anger.“We don’t have time. The peace talks will start soon and my nightmares… they require a longer conversation than we had time for.”Kalen’s expression tells me he wants to argue, but he also knows I’m right. “Fine. Later.”“Later,” I repeat. If this Kalen stays instead of the cold, mean version of him, then perhaps it is time to tell him everything.Once ready, we headed to the meeting room. It’s a large conference room. The lycan ki

Chapter 33

“No?” the lycan king repeated, as if he couldn’t quite believe Kalen’s response. I know I couldn’t. What did Kalen mean by no? “Think about what you’re doing, boy,” the lycan king warned him as he leaned forward in his chair.“See, just what I thought,” Carl said smugly. “The rogues don’t want peace.”Leaning closer to Kalen, to avoid making a scene in front of the alphas, I hissed, “Kalen, what are you doing?”Kalen ignored me and glared at the king. “I’m not a boy. You can play all of them as you like, but I am not part of your game, old man!”The room fell silent, the tension crackling like a live wire. The assembled alphas exchanged uneasy glances, most bristling at Kalen’s audacity. “Careful Kalen, you tread dangerous ground when you speak to me like that. I’ve allowed much and I’m willing to give you more than perhaps you deserve, but my patience is growing thin,” the lycan king told him.I couldn’t shake the feeling as if I’d missed something, but I didn’t care. Kalen had to say

Chapter 34

The drive back to the rogue territory was silent and tense. While that sudden fight with the lycan king’s men gave me doubts, I was still furious with Kalen and his refusal. He didn’t even try to negotiate with the king. He just refused!When we returned, Kalen and Jack rushed off somewhere.“So it was that bad, huh?” Adelaide asked as she walked up to me, watching the two men rush off.“Worse. He didn’t even try to negotiate! Kalen just told the king no, then stormed out of there with no explanation or anything,” I said, my anger resurfacing.“I’m sure–”“He has a good reason? Maybe, but he won’t tell me so good luck figuring what that is,” I said and ran my hands through my hair.“How about we take a walk before you explode,” Adelaide says with a laugh.I give her a weak smile. “That sounds great.”“Oh, we’re coming too,” Sarah said, pulling Thomas along.I wave at them. “Sure, more the merrier.”We started walking towards the forest, taking one of the clearly marked trails.

Chapter 35

As soon as I left Alyssa, I headed to my office to meet with Jack. “What do you have?” I demanded, as the door closed. “While James’ men were causing trouble in the peace talks, he stayed here like your father ordered. He hasn’t left this territory.”“Of course,” I said with a scoff. “That way, he can disavow any knowledge of the attempt to disrupt the peace talks. They were working without his knowledge or command.” I scoffed again as I took the Crimson Fang emblem and the coin with James’ mark on it. “He’s playing Father like a fool,” I said, then tossed the pins and coin on the desk. “The real question is, did the two act alone or are they working together?”Jack shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest. “It seems like it, but for the life of me, I can’t see why or how. The Crimson Fang alpha is no one, really. He has no power or influence. Half the alphas think he’s a joke. Then there is James. Why would he work with a pack alpha? He hates the packs. Carl has nothing James

Chapter 36

Kalen avoided me for the rest of the day and didn’t go to his room last night. The stress seemed to make the nightmares worse, and I woke up crying so hard I nearly choked on my tears. Exhausted, I wanted to just fall back into the bed and try to run away from reality for a while. I could ignore everything if I couldn’t see it or couldn’t feel it. Then I remembered, I made a promise. Today was the festival, and I had plans to make.I agreed to help Thomas win over Adelaide. With a groan, I stood up from the bed and into the bathroom for a shower, then downstairs for breakfast.“Ah, you’re here,” Thomas said, his face lighting up as soon as he saw me.“I am,” I said, feeling my mood getting lighter at seeing his excitement. “So this is a kind of romantic festival, right? For unmated couples?”“Yeah, there is a bonfire then a moment where in the dark couples find each other and kiss. There are also fireworks.”“Adelaide, I think needs honesty, Thomas. No games, no flowery words. Just co

Chapter 37

I went back to the kitchen and took over everyone’s least favorite job, cleaning up. I scrubbed dishes, expecting the head servant to march in and tell me that Kalen demanded I go back outside so he could demean me yet again, or at the very least, for Chelsie to march in here screaming and yelling at me. However, no one bothered me as I worked, and it seemed the festival continued as if nothing had happened. Remembering I also had other things to do, I dried off my hands. I grabbed the bag of food and fireworks and left the kitchen.I glanced over and saw Kalen up on the stage platform with Chelsie on his arm. Taking on the role of Luna, Chelsie announced soon the ‘Encounter’ would begin. The fires extinguished, leaving everyone in darkness, and people searched for their mates based on the pull alone, ignoring all other factors.Music swelled, and people danced around the bonfires. Everyone seemed happy and excited by the prospect of finding their mates or finding a moment with their

Chapter 38

Light flickered through the night as people relit the bonfires, chasing the darkness. Kalen relaxed his grip on me and broke our kiss with a look of triumph on his face. I looked over and saw Thomas watching us. Again, guilt filled me and I mouthed the word ‘sorry’ to him as Kalen pulled me against him, glaring at Thomas in a clear sign of possession.Thomas nodded. His expression seemed understanding, which only made me feel worse. He turned and left as Chelsie suddenly screamed. She slapped some man across the face as she shouted at him. “A gamma! A gamma kissed me? How dare you?” Her look of disgust only grew as her eyes fell on me and Kalen. Chelsie shrieked, outraged once more, earning a few chuckles from the crowd, and stormed off away from the festival. Her face was red and flushed, and more people snickered as she passed. Even the guy she slapped laughed. Despite my feelings about her, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her. People shouldn’t laugh at or humiliate anyone like th

Chapter 39

The morning was cool and crisp, and perfect for a walk. Last night left me conflicted. Kalen’s behavior was so hot and cold, but to see him so happy like he was… guilt welled inside me. Not only for Thomas’ ruined romantic gesture for Adelaide, but for the fact I couldn’t give Kalen a proper answer last night. I couldn’t bring myself to talk about Caden with him. As stupid as it sounded, part of me felt as long as Kalen didn’t know about Caden. Then it didn’t really happen. It wasn’t real. Just something like a nightmare.I heard the sounds of arguing as I walked, then saw Adelaide and Chelsie face to face, glaring at each other. “Listen here, I am going to be the luna of this group,” Chelsie demanded. “It’s all but announced. So you better watch yourself,” she demanded, then narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw me. Chelsie marched up to me. “And you don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing?”I held up my hands. This morning, I wasn’t in the mood to fight with her. “I’m just taking

Chapter 40

“I am not a luna,” I told him and decided it was best he didn’t see me as prey, so I added, “Last time I believe you called me a toy.”James laughed as he grazed the bottom of his teeth with his tongue, looking at me as if I was some curious new insect he found. “That I did, but we both know you’re more than just some toy my nephew picked up to play with.”“Nephew?”His grin grew as he stopped in front of me. “Oh, Kieran didn’t mention me? I’m hurt. He does like to keep things to himself, doesn’t he?”“Apparently,” I said, offering him a tight smile as I remembered how Adelaide and Kalen reacted when James showed up last time. “Well, I should be going.”
