Chapter 56
"I swear on the goddess I would never betray Queen Arcadia! Asher made this dumb plan up, he basically started this war!!" His explanations were confusing Sheila the more but he didn't have time to explain, "set them free!! The Treasury is in the next hallway, send some of your men to follow me and let's loot it!!" He doesn't waste time and he is out of the slave room.She quickly unlocks all the prisoners and sets them free, she tells them to take whatever they can use to cover themselves and run far away from palace due north to the camp they had set up there. They follow her instructions but a girl hugs her before she leaves with her sisters, it warms her heart but there is no time to dwell on emotions. She needed to follow Conan to make sure he was okay.She traces his scent and sees the treasury open, her men and he were helping loot it and she gives a satisfied smirk, everything the Queen had planned was going well. It was all going we but sheChapter 57He had to be the most annoying person she had ever seen in her entire life, she evades his attack and his metal clashes with her father's,"You're battle is with me!!" He pushes him a few distance back and Arcadia sees it as an opportunity to strike, she deal him a blow to his eyes and she feels it crack underneath her force, she then runs her claws across his face giving him another scar.He falls to the ground and kicks in pain, holding his bleeding face, she turns to Mace and brings out a dagger that she took from a fallen soldier,"Do you submit?" She threatens him with the blade that was dangerously close to his neck,"Yes.....I submit..." He says in defeat and Xerxes brightens up,"Good!! I'll spare your miserable life." She dumps him on the floor where he belongs, "father, let's close this thing up. Where is Sheila??" She turned to look for her half sister,"Arcadia, keep an eye on them both, I'll go look for
Chapter 58She thought she would never hear her voice again, she thought she was gone forever. Her eyes trace the voice and she sees her coming down with her father and her half sister; but Sheila didn't look so good. She look good of emotion, empty.Her eyes trace to Loki and there's an unexplainable hatred growing inside of her, her hand touches her abdomen and she desperately hopes she is not pregnant, she wasn't ready for such responsibility.Sheila's eyes light up upon seeing Arcadia, the look on her face was priceless, seeing that her mother had returned to her gave her all sorts of emotions. The satisfaction that she was no longer and orphan washed over her but then again how?She rubs her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming, everything in her body ached but when her eyes rested on the magenta eyes that her mother bore, it felt like all the pain had vanished. But the ache in her heart still burned, she might have been afraid that she migh
Chapter 59The war was over and the south had been taken over my Queen Arcadia, all of her people were proud that their first Queen had successfully conquered a powerful alpha and they were bringing back the slaves they had taken away from them on the day of the death of king Magnus.The journey back was rather slow but it was enjoyable as they made stops to various places as a request from the inhabitants of the land to meet their New Queen. They all hailed her and celebrated her win even at the defeat of their previous king. Most women were proud that their kind could sit on the throne and rule effectively, it was a great boost to their image and they all suddenly wanted to be like Queen Arcadia.And it was only natural for some wolves to have undying loyalty to Mace and not accept their new Queen, they would try to take her down and see how they can snatch their Master away from her. But whichever one that did so much as an attempt, met with a cruel
Chapter 60The night was still young but Octavia was rather tired with everything that had happened, she was Sharing a tent with her husband and when she walked in, she found him nude but covered with the sheets and snacking on some berries.She rolls her eyes, he was trying to seduce her but she was too exhausted to do anything with him."My Queen," he throws the greeting to flatter but she doesn't spare him a glance, "did I do something wrong?" His eyes flash mischief and hers are heavy with fatigue. She takes off her clothes and his eyes are fixed on the slash in her arm, "how did that happen?" She could fell the anger in his voice.But her eyes turn to the mark, and how it happened replays in her head, it was a result of lies. All the lies she told him, his anger, she didn't want to take advantage of him but even he wouldn't have been able to protect her the way he did if he knew who she was."It's nothing." She throws it away and lets he
Chapter 61.They finally arrived at their home and the whole crowd cheers for heir Queen, Mace and his Betas are put in bondage with chains and are made to walk with their heads bowed. They enter the palace in a grand style and their latest victory calls for a celebration,"Father, mother," she addresses her parents, "I wouldn't be who I am today without you, I don't know who I would have even been if I don't have you two by my side." She begins to test up and Sheila sniffs dramatically and leans on Asher while she cries. He rolls his eyes a her and listens to his lover, "I'm proud to be your daughter and I would love to give you a gift for being the most amazing parents on the planet."Everyone delivers a round of applause as Xerxes and Octavia blush like fools, they had never really gotten so much attention since Magnus was always stealing it. But he was dead anyway."We would be proud to receive whatever gift you give to us." She smiles a
Chapter 62"Is there anything I can get you madam?" Azure was a great nurse for Shelia but she was also a hindrance since she never let Sheila out of her sight, and it was very annoying to the assassin."I would love a glass of water." She makes a excuse and Azure runs to fetch it for her, once she was sure she was alone she pushes herself out of bed and into the passage. She watches her back and front to make sure no one saw her sneaking out of her room, she turned her head and saw some maids talking about the execution."And alpha Mace would be out of our lives forever, I'm sure the Queen won't spare his Betas." They gossip like they should but the death of Loki was still something that was haunting her conscience.She places her hand on her stomach, her child would be an orphan.... no. What was she thinking? The child would probably be dead before Loki dies and she can start afresh. She would forget him eventually. Even though she didn't
Chapter 63Night had fallen and the Queen had hard from Azure the attempt to kill the baby made by Sheila, she was beyond frustrated and decided to get out of her bed to have a talk one on one with the assassin. She knocks on Sheila's door and after a few moments it swings open to see a miserable woman hiding in the dark, Sheila squints her eyes to the light and she lets the Queen in.Octavia takes it upon herself to give the room a little light but opening the blinds and lighting candles, and when that was done she turned to Sheila with a hurt look on her face. She knew what this was all about,"My Queen, you—" cut off by a slap to the face, her eyes saw stars as she held her cheek to ease the pain but it still burned her flesh. She was surprised that the Queen would do such to her, "why?" Tears had run down her cheeks."I never knew you were so heartless to the point that you would attack a child." Her words re sharp an
Chapter 64"My hands are cramping." He growls as he fiddled with the chains that we're around his wrists, they had made red circles on them and he was frustrated with his situation, "master, we need to escape from this hell hole." Czar glances to Mace but he was silent with his thoughts burning a hole in his heart,"That's if we survive the execution, we are not going to be alive for much longer." He finally speaks up and his eyes go to Loki, he was backing them sitting in silence, he needed to see Sheila even if it was one last time.He wanted to apologise.But he also wanted to see Mace Alive."Loki?" He calls but he doesn't say anything, not even a nod or anything. Mace does his best to move to his front so he could see his brother, "brother, what is on your mind?" His hazel orbs were digging into his green ones,"I'm thinking of a way to get us out of here, I can't let you die." He looks around the shabby room the
