เข้าสู่ระบบAuthor's POV River has come to check up on Rylan—not because he care—but because he has come to taunt Rylan. When he gets to the dungeon, he sees the guards sleeping and Clara sitting on the chair.“What the hell is happening here?” He growls, his eyes flashing with suspicion.Clara's eyes widen with fear. No one expected that Prince River would show up at the dungeon this late. She drops to her knees and bow. “Nothing—is—happening, my prince.”“Nothing is happening here?” He repeat, the words tasting bitter on his lips. “The head chef is here by this time and you expect me to believe that nothing is wrong?” He looks at the sleeping guards and they show no sign of waking up despite all the noise, so he knows now that their deep slumber is not ordinary.Clara did not say a word. Her body just trembles with fear, over a thousand thoughts already crashing down on her at what would happen now that River has caught her. One of the guards unsheaths his sword and puts it on her neck. “Spea
Lira's POV It's seems Rylan didn't know just how far I'm willing to go for the one I love. Not only him. The ones I love—my family, friends and those who are close to me. I'd go any lengths to prove my love to them and to show them how much they can trust me to be by their side even in the midst of chaos.He was beyond shocked to see me here. He thinks I'm being ridiculous but to me, I have never made better choices than the ones I made tonight. He is my mate and I should be there for him in times of trouble.Rylan made me promise him never to act reckless like I did tonight, never to confront Nerissa, to keep living and stop crying.Oops… those were a lot of difficult promises but then I have to do it to make him happy. Or let's say he left with no choice other than to make the promises. But I don't trust myself to keep them. Especially the crying aspect. Even now, standing here, I'm barely holding myself back from tearing up so badly. How can I keep living and smiling knowing that
Rylan As I sit weakly and alone inside the dungeon, only one thought is on my mind. LIRA. No one would worry about me outside there other than her. No one would wait for my return other than her. , she would cry and pray fervently that I would come back soon.I told her I would return in an hour but the day is almost over and I'm still trapped in here like a common criminal. But one prayer lingers in my mind to the Goddess if she truly existed because at the juncture, I'm starting to doubt if she is truly real or maybe she is just an illusion people created—the prayer is that Lira shouldn't be reckless, she shouldn't confront Nerissa, try to be my witness or do something drastic that would put her life in danger.Another worry I have is, who would look after father? No one else cares except Damon… and he is trying to stay out of trouble to protect himself and Luna.Just then I hear the dungeon door creak open, then followed by approaching footsteps. I did not bother to look up becaus
Everything has been set to ensure that the mission is a success. Lira is dressed in one of the maids uniform—a blue gown— and she sure looks like one of the maids.“Please be careful,” Damon says to Lira for the hundredth time. “All our lives are at stake and a single mistake can make us lose it.”“I understand, Beta Damon,” Lira says. “Thank you all for helping me. I will be eternally grateful to you.”“Now, escort them to the Royal kitchen discreetly,” Damon says to Lucien. “Be safe.”It's a good thing that Nathaniel and his armies do not recognize Lira but still they pray that they won't bump into Nerissa, especially since she has been strolling around the palace more often since she became the Alpha.“Yes, Beta Damon.” Immediately, Lucien gestures towards the door and Clara and Lira follow closely behind him.As they make their way to the palace, they are discreet. Lucien's eyes dart around the yard critically and when he sees that the coast is clear, he will beckon at Lira and C
Author's POV Lira's hope dashes away as the Beta said those words. She knows Beta Damon quite well. If he has a way he can help, then he would have done that… but the fact that he is rejecting only means there is no means at all.She forces a smile at him. “I understand Beta Damon.”Luna's heart is broken as she stares at her friend. She knows how much she wants to see Rylan and she can tell that she will remain restless for as long as Rylan remains there. “Dad, please,” she pleads desperately through the mindlink. “Just look for a way please.”Beta Damon gaze shifts between Lira and Luna. A lot is at stake here. If Nerissa catches him trying to help, she might frame him for treason or even hurt Luna. And there would be no reason for him to remain alive if Luna gets hurt. But then, if he has a bit of conscience, he should help. Give or take, he contributed to Rylan's imprisonment. If he didn't take the seal, then Nerissa wouldn't have been suspicious of Rylan and the fact that Ryla
Lira's POV I pace my room restlessly like a caged beast about to go feral, my feet hitting the floor sharply.I can't just stay calm no matter how hard I tried to. I tried to at least sit and be calm like Rylan said as he was lead out of the rink earlier but I can't. He says he is going to get back in an hour time but this is past five hours and still… he is not here yet.Not like I believe him when he says he will come back before one hour, but I pray that it is true—that at least, a miracle or the heavens would be by our side and he will truly return to me but he didn't.My chest pounds loudly in my ears anytime I remember just how ruthless his mother can be and since she has become the Alpha, I can barely sleep with my two eyes close. Somehow, I have expected that she would strike and yes… I'm right.“Have you your dad pick your call?” I ask Luna. I have explain everything to Luna and she says she is going to call her father to confirm what is happening in the palace. We've been
