HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE CHAPTER 72
SELINEOnce Roman left my chambers, I crawled back into bed and stared up at the ceiling. My fever was lessening by the moment, but I was feeling all sorts of awful, not to mention downright tired.The king of Kestraven had given me an emotionally charged speech, but I couldn't help but ponder the authenticity of his words. Roman had always been kind to me and didn't have any reason to lie to my face, but I knew better than to accept someone's statements blindly.Despite his explanation, I didn't understand why he wanted me specifically to help treat his ailing father. Any number of the healers in Ravenspire were more talented than I was, and even with the knowledge that Caleb had been the one to gift them medicine, it wasn't as if my late husband had left me with notes. I had no idea what he'd used to treat the king and there was no guarantee that I could figure it out.Yet, once again, why would he lie about something so serious?I couldn't help but think about what going to Kestrav

AUSTINMy brow raised instinctively as I stared at Reginald Moses in surprise.Had he really just suggested something like that? Now, of all times?"Why?" I asked, and I raised my chin slightly. This suggestion reeked of suspicion, and I was going to get to the bottom of it."Your Majesty, it's been five years since the death of our former king," he explained evenly. "I understand that you're still in a state of mourning, as anyone in your position would be. But I firmly believe that the Moonfall Pack needs a Luna, someone who could raise the morale of both this Pack and all of Valcrest for that matter. It's been five years since your wedding. I believe this is the right time to declare her your mate."I opened my mouth to protest this fact, but I knew it would get me nowhere. Vanessa may have been my wife, but she wasn't my mate. Elena had been my mate and no one would ever replace that, no matter how much Reginald Moses wanted to change that fact.I had to admit that I'd underestima

AUSTINI was only half awake as I sat in the meeting room and listened to the morning report. Edgar was informing me about the investigation being conducted about the attempted kidnapping that'd taken place in the market, and the councilor's dark eyes were glum as he spoke."We checked the identity of the kidnapper, Your Majesty," he said. "They didn't live in Ravenspire, nor did they seem to be residents of Valcrest at all."My brow shot up immediately. "Do you think they were foreigners?"Edgar nodded. "I believe so, Your Majesty. But without officially issued certification, no foreigners would have been able to pass the territory line of Valcrest."I frowned.This was all very strange."Did the soldiers stationed there fail their duties?" I wondered as frustration rose within me. "How could a foreigner enter the territory without anyone knowing?"Edgar hesitated for a moment."Perhaps," he began. "There's another possibility. I find it a little coincidental that the king of Kestrav

SELINEA gasp escaped me, and for a moment, I swore I was about to faint. My head spun and a huge knot formed in my stomach.Had I heard the king correctly?Caleb? My Caleb?"I was devastated to hear that Caleb had passed away," Roman continued without skipping a beat. "But now I've found you. I thought it was a coincidence that your last name is also Carter, but then at the banquet, you said you were from the Shadowvale Pack. Does that mean…"His question trailed off and I knew I had to finally speak."Caleb was my husband," I confirmed.Roman nodded solemnly. "I figured as much."The room fell into silence as I processed all of this new information. Caleb had been to Kestraven? He'd never mentioned he'd been to the North even once. In fact, most people in Valcrest never spoke about the North in general. Why had he gone there in the first place and what brought him to the former king of Kestraven in the first place?The room began to tilt and I had to steady myself for a moment to ke

SELINEMy heart skipped a beat.Was Roman being serious?I searched my mind for the right thing to say, but nothing was coming to me. Meanwhile, I could feel heat spreading through my cheeks.Before I could suffer for too long, the king of Kestraven began to laugh."I'm joking, Seline," he said with a brilliant smile. "I simply wanted to lighten the air a little bit. But in all seriousness… are you alright?"I nodded as I rubbed my wrist. The guards had been really rough with me, and I could feel the kind of tenderness on my arm that usually meant a bruise was forming.Roman suddenly noticed the bandage on my wrist and his deep blue eyes widened in surprise."What happened to you?" he asked as his eyebrows knitted together in concern.I quickly tucked my arm behind my back to keep from alarming him further."It was an accident in the lab," I explained off-handedly, but Roman didn't seem convinced by my words."I heard there was an accident yesterday and Lady Vanessa was severely burnt

SELINEThat voice… deep, coarse, and gravelly. It was the kind of voice with a texture, one that was impossible to forget. It had been lingering in my mind for the past five years, playing in a loop in my nightmares.For a moment, I tried to convince myself that I was making it up, because there was no way it was possible to hear that same voice in the present day, here in my chamber.What was going on here?I'd always had a sneaking suspicion that it'd been Beatrice who'd wanted me to die in the inferno. She had always disliked me and sought out any reason to keep me away from the royal family.And yet, there were some factors that didn't make that possible. Beatrice didn't have the right to instruct soldiers. No one could, in fact, aside from their leader, the Alpha King. Not only that but soldiers who had served in the empire's military couldn't be recruited as guards for the royal family. Even though soldiers had the capability, they had seen too much bloodshed and troubled places
