CARLISLE

Since Alex couldn't give me answers, maybe the reporter could.

Besides, if he had used his brain and not sent those pictures, this wouldn't be happening.

“We meet again. Do you have answers for me now? Who sent you those pictures? " I asked, trying to seem calm.

The reporter was already sweating.

"I-I didn't know who sent me the information, sir.”

I raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't know?" I repeated "How convenient."

I nodded to my men, who stepped forward and started beating the reporter. He cried out in pain as they punched and kicked him.

After a few minutes, I signaled for my men to stop. The reporter was gasping for breath, his face bruised.

"Now, let's try this again," I said, stepping closer "Who sent you the information?"

The reporter shook his head, looking like he was about to pass out. "I-I don't know, sir," he whispered.

I sighed, nodding to my men again. They continued the beating, stopping and starting several times. Each time, I would ask the rep

    ELINNA“How could we let this happen, Gomez?!”I stopped with my hand on the door handle, trying not to get in the middle of something I shouldn't have. I'd come to the new house to speak to Gomez because he wasn't picking up his calls. I knew that I would bump into Carlisle but that didn't matter to me right now. Work was a good distraction to me and I won't let anything get in the way of that.What was going on? Were they fighting? I've never heard them fight before. “My King, I had no idea this would happen. I mean, when I checked, it didn't seem to be a problem by the time. But that's no excuse. My apologies. I'll fix this before it becomes a problem.”There was no response from Carlisle after that. What was going on? Maybe I should just go back and act like I didn't hear anything. But what if it was actually something I had done and this was now an issue? I was about to turn the handle when I heard Carlisle's loud-“Fuck!” Followed by the loud smashing of glass. It startle

    CARLISLEI blame myself. Who else was there to blame?Kesian? No, anything I did that night was because I knew that Kesian was in me and I did little to nothing to stop him from hurting her that night. But then again, what could I do to stop him? It's not like we had a schedule that let me and him come to the light alternatively. I barely knew anything he did and he didn't know anything I did either. But somehow, I wish there was something I could have done. “My King, are you listening to me?” I'd completely forgotten that Gomez was standing in front of me. I've forgotten what he was even talking about. “Yes, I am. Um, what did you say?”He sighed and sat down. “What is it? What are you thinking about?” I tried to recall the last thing I heard him say but all I could remember was bits and pieces and I didn't even know where to place them each. “Y-You said that he had dinner with her. Do you know what they talked about?”He thought about it for a while before shrugging. “No

    ELINNAWhen he unbottoned his cloth, I began wondering what exactly he was doing until I saw it. He looked up from his torso. “This is my seal, Elinna. This is who I am.” I was too frozen to even move and I was sure my mouth was open. His body was like a canvas. There were various scars, cuts and bruises on his body and his arms. They were all of different sizes and some looked more recent than others. When he started walking towards me, I didn't even realize it until he was standing in front of me and he took my hand in his.“Do I…scare you?” Right now, I didn't know what I was feeling. I wasn't scared because I had seen scars before but not this many and not on one person. He didn't look like he should be alive. He raised my hand to place it on his chest and I just left it there because I didnt even know what to do. There was a lump in my throat, stopping me from talking but then, I didn't even know what to say. “Say something, Elinna.”I didn't want him to think that I wa

    ELINNA“My Queen, the new house is ready.” I looked up from the papers in front of me, removing my glasses. “What? So quickly? Didn't they just start building it last week? How's it ready already?” I could hear some noise in the background, he was obviously still at the site. “They did but the King asked them to put a rush on it so it was all hands on deck. They're done with it and by this time tomorrow, they will have moved all the furniture into the house and it'll be ready.” Right now, I was in Carlisle old house. Kesian went somewhere, I didn't want to know so I didn't bother asking. All I told him on his way out was that he shouldn't let anyone see him because Carlisle was supposed to be sick. All he did was shrug and walk out. That was two days ago. I hadn't seen him since then and I didn't know where he went. I didn't know how to reach him either but I was sure that he was fine. As long as he wasn't doing anything stupid, I was fine. At least for now, we were working t

    ELINNA“So you're saying that you'll be staying there for a while?”I waved Gomez into the room.“Yes Lizzy, that's what I'm saying. I'm stuck here taking care of a few things and I won't be able to come back home for a while. So you're going to have to hold the fort down for me. Please.”Gomez sat on the chair opposite me and placed some papers on the table.“O-okay, what about Chase and your mum? What should I tell them?”My mother knew about me being a wolf so she shouldn't be a problem. I could tell her that I had to do something with Carlisle.But Chase, he might want to be here when I tell him I was with his dad.“Don’t worry about it. I'll deal with Chase when he gets back from school. I'll call my mum later in the day.”She had called earlier but I'd missed it and didn't have enough time to call her back.I needed to attend to Gomez so I ended my call with Lizzy and placed the phone down.We were in Carlisle's office and I'd told Gomez that I'd spoken to Kesian and he'd agreed

    ELINNAI didn't go to Kesian that night.I wasn't stupid enough to go see him at night when he was definitely the strongest.My best chance was when the sun was at its highest peak.One thing I didn't do was to call ahead. I wanted to take him by surprise so I just walked into the house and started searching for him everywhere.Maybe Kesian would have gone.When I didn't see him in the throne room, I searched the bedroom but he wasn't there either. And then I remembered his favorite thinking spot and sure enough he was there, doing exactly what I knew he'd be doing.Standing with his arm crossed behind him and looking out the window.“If anyone else saw you, they'd think you were plotting the destruction of the world.”He seemed deep in thought because he didn't act like he knew I was there. When he noticed my presence, he scoffed and walked closer to me.“Maybe because I am. What are you doing here, giving me unplanned visits? It seems you're enjoying my company.”Oh, it was still Ke

    ELINNAI knew that if they had the chance to attack me and avenge him, they would have. But I hadn't done all that much. All I did was slap him. After the initial shock had worn off and Elder Gerald had regained his sanity, I turned to the guards. “Throw him in jail. And don't let him out until I say so.” Of course, they didn't waste any time in doing so and they dragged him out immediately. The rest of them were too shocked to say anything and I was hoping that they would so I could throw more of them in jail. “Now, if that would be all, I would take my.leave. I don't know how you have been relating with the King but I can tell you that no such rubbish will be done with me. I will not allow any of you to insult me and speak down on me just because I'm a woman. Do I make myself clear?” There could only be nods but that was good enough for me and I left them there. I got to the car before I let out a breath that I didn't know that I had been holding. Gomez got in the car righ

    ELINNA“W-We just told you that they committed slander against the King! How can you say we should present evidence? Isn't that evidence enough?”I stood up from my seat and went to where they had the women kneeling. “Guards, help these women to their feet and give them the seats available. How coincidental is it that we have just the right number of seats available? And if you dare to hurt any of them in any way, I'll make sure that they watch from the outside while you suffer in the cells.”They didn't have the right to touch thess women and so help me. If I found out that these women were innocent, which I knew that they were, they would pay for it. And all the bruises that they gave to them were not self inflicted so they'd have to pay for that. When the women were seated, I leaned on the table and faced them, starting with the one closest to me. Her eyes were fixed on the ground and she was visibly shaking. “What is your name? And what are you being accused of?” She didn't l

    ELINNA“So lay it on me.” I sat and crosses my legs “What’s the agenda for today?”I could still hear some whispers but that didn't concern me. They seemed a bit too star-struck for me. Handy they seen a woman leading before? Well, that wouldn't be a shock, considering the type of family Carlisle came from. Men were often the leading figures and the women just laid back and bore children. Since I'd grown up, I don't think I'd ever heard of the Queen. Even as a teenager, I didn't know Carlisle's mother nor had I ever seen her. “Let me introduce myself to you gentlemen since you seem a bit too aloof. My name is Elinna Scarlett Evergreen, wife of the King Carlisle Evergreen, the Fourth, King of the Lycan Kingdom. Making me the Queen. My husband has come down with something very nasty and he has asked me to see to his affairs. Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into business or do you want to introduce yourselves too and turn this into a meet and greet?”There was a snicke
