ログインBy the time I was totally out of shock, I was the one sitting on the chair Alpha Kael had once been sitting on, wrapped in a blanket with hot chocolate in my hands.I watched as His Majesty tended to himself in the corner while his guard apologized profusely.I looked as guilty as ever. I had tried to kidnap him, yet here I was, wrapped in a blanket and drinking the hot chocolate he had brewed for me.He suddenly turned and started walking toward me.My breath hitched.My fingers tightened around the cup.I couldn't scream. It was useless.Just as he reached me, my phone suddenly buzzed in my pocket.I jolted violently, spilling hot chocolate all over myself."Bring it out."He ordered.I dared not disobey.I quickly reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone.It was Lady Aria.My eyes darted toward him.He smirked."Pick up.""Humm..."I hummed in surprise.He stared at me coldly, sending a cold shiver down my spine.I pressed the answer button."My Lady.""Is it done?"I looked
Elena's POVSitting on top of the Duskmoor estate's pinnacle, eating a fried hot dog, wasn't such a bad thing.It was dark and perfect for a bad thing or two.Having to kidnap two powerful people wasn't what I was celebrating, though.I was actually celebrating my death.Lady Aria could ask for the worst to happen, but asking me to get myself killed this grandly?She really knew how to appreciate me.I looked down through the small window and spotted His Majesty standing with one of his guards.My eyes drifted toward the person tied to a chair.Blood had already stained his suit.I couldn't see his face clearly from this distance, but after years of practice and service, I knew exactly who that was.Alpha Kael."Such a smug soul. Having to taste the Lycan's wrath a second time isn't a good look."I shook my head and finished my last bite of the hot dog before putting on my black hooded mask.I watched as the guard securing the side gate walked away.Perfect.I took a deep breath befor
My fists twitched beneath my mother's palm. This wasn't a question I was ready to answer.I felt my mother's gaze on me as I let out a soft cough."Mother, he's no one important."She raised a brow."No one important? But he's sending gifts and letters."That damn asshole.My wolf raged inside me. This was the first time she wasn't enjoying the show.At least, for once, we were on the same page."I don't want to trouble your health over an insignificant wolf like him. Take your nap. We'll talk about him later."I tucked her back beneath the duvet and kissed her forehead."I'll visit you later, Mother."Before she could say another word, I had already reached the door and closed it behind me."Phew!"I exhaled like I had narrowly escaped a trap.Standing right in front of me was the maid, still bent over in a bow toward the door."You can stand straight."She finally straightened up."Do you have any idea what's inside the parcel?"She looked genuinely confused as she rummaged through
Killian Escaped?My mind raced.If Killian had escaped, then I had every reason to be wary of what he would do next.Cassius's smile disappeared instantly. His eyes snapped toward Alaric."I told you not to trust that rogue."Alaric's eyes burned with rage."We'll find him."Before anyone could say more, Father walked toward us with Ronan.That smug smile on his face didn't escape me."Did you go into hiding before my men could catch you?"My ears perked.It was Alaric.He stepped toward Father, his gaze cold."Your Majesty, I was only running around looking for a healer for my wife. I didn't know you wanted to see me."Alaric's eyes shifted to Ronan."And who are you?"Ronan smiled and bowed slightly."I'm Ronan Farrow."Cassius and Alaric both froze.Their eyes snapped toward him.They had been searching for this man.And now he had walked straight into their hands.Cassius lunged toward Father, his fangs stopping dangerously close to his throat."What's another rogue doing here? Ar
The sun had already risen high in the sky before I woke up.A dull ache took over my body as I stretched painfully.The smell of freshly baked buns filled the air.My face twitched."Mother?"I jumped out of bed and sprinted downstairs to the kitchen."Mom!"My scream echoed through the kitchen.She turned around weakly and smiled."There you are, sleeping beauty."I hurried over and grabbed her hands."You're not supposed to be in the kitchen yet. You're still a weak mother."I pressed a hand to my forehead."Leave all this to the cooks. As long as I'm here, I'm not going to sit around and watch you stress yourself out."She pushed her head backward jokingly."Don't say that. I am the Celestial Luna. I am as strong as steel."Was she seriously trying to piss me off right now?Celestial Luna at the expense of her life.I shook my head."That's not going to work on me today."She laughed weakly."But it used to work on you.""Mom!"I shouted in frustration as she teased me."You know,
My fingers curled as I pushed my anger back. I had no reason to fight him.He was a wanted rogue anyway.How a foreign rogue became a sect leader was the part of the puzzle I couldn't figure out.I still had time to ask Mother.There was no need to rush her.She had just recovered, and she needed time to regain her strength.My eyes drifted toward Father as I pushed the events of today to the back of my mind.He was going to answer for them sooner or later.“Can I have some alone time with Mother?”His eyes stayed on me before darting toward Ronan, who simply smiled.“It's okay, Silas. Let the mother and daughter have some alone time.”Father's expression changed, like he was afraid I was about to ask something he didn't want to answer.His feet dragged as he walked out with Ronan.I waited until the door closed behind them before turning toward Mother.“Mother.”My voice came out softly.Her fragile, bony hands rose and cupped my face.“You're so grown now. I remember when you used t
