When Thea awoke, everything seemed strange to her. She assumed Ethan would have killed her because he didn't recognize her. But she was still alive and well in her room. She had to get herself together and go meet him. She needed to make sure Ethan was okay after what she saw last night. Thea exited Ethan's chamber, which was empty; he was not present. She began to have different ideas about where he could be."Where has his Majesty gone?""What is my husband?."Thea continued to question every servant she encountered in his Chambers."What happened to Ethan?" She inquired of the maidens in the corridor."His Majesty is speaking with a visitor in his study." The maids revealed to her and without hesitating, Thea hurriedly towards the direction of the study.Last night, the beast attacked again, killing hundreds of my men." Alpha Zane spoke to Ethan, who appeared unconcerned by the situation."I'll have my men inspect the border tonight; don't worry about the beast's attack; we'll have
After Thea returned to her room, she had her dinner and went to bed. She woke up at midnight after having a reoccurring nightmare of Ethan and Maxwell fighting to death. Thea became frightened. Was it some prophecy? Why does she keep choosing the same person and she wouldn't know who it was that she pointed at. It was difficult for her to go back to sleep and she was tempted to check if Ethan had gone wild again that night. Thea wanted to stay away from Ethan after what he had said to her, but she couldn't help it. She cared for him. She slid into a robe and went out of her room.Thea met that it was still empty like the previous day, only that there was no bloodstains or any signs of Ethan being in the room. She went ahead to check the fireplace. Thea was just about to switch the metal when she saw a shadow fixed behind her. "Looking for someone?." Ethan said, coldly. Making Thea turn towards him."E- Ethan. I was just." "Searching for me?." "No I wasn't." Thea denied quickly."The
The act of trying to seduce Ethan continued for days, Thea faced several rejection from Ethan despite all her trials to tempt him. While Thea was getting frustrated, Ethan was enjoying the game he played with her. Seeing Thea beg for his attention and come to his room severally to seduce him, it was rare and unlike her. Thea badly wanted her freedom from him which he wasn't ready to give her even after she births his child. He couldn't deny the fact that even without seducing him, he wanted her badly and found it hard to resist her. Three days had passed and Thea didn't go to Ethan anymore. That action fueled his curiosity and Ethan badly wanted to see her. Sending Kain to report her activities wasn't enough for him, he had to meet her by himself. Ethan was on his way to her Chambers to see her when he met Becca. She was being accompanied by two Maidens and it seemed like they were on their way to his chamber.Ethan tried to ignore them until Becca called out to him."My lord, please
Ethan waited impatiently for Thea to be done dressing, he paced restlessly in his room before Kain came to inform him that Thea was prepared. Ethan came downstairs almost immediately after he was informed. He was so furious when he saw that Thea had worn another dress. He hastened his steps towards her and pulled her away with him. They got to the corridor and he placed her against the wall. "Why have you decided to defy my orders?""What did I do? What orders did I defy?." Theadora retorts sharply."This? Why did you put this on? What happened to the dresses I sent?.""I didn't fancy any of them." Thea admitted."What? You could have sent a message and I'll have them changed. I picked them out myself, I could still pick out different ones for you to make a choice." Ethan bragged."You selected the dresses?. No wonder they looked tacky and cheap. You have a bad taste in fashion." Thea said, mockingly. Ethan was tempted to grip her neck like he always did but the fingermarks scar on he
Thea's skin was directly illuminated by the moonlight. She observed the stars as she stood at the hallway's entrance. After a short while, she made the awkward decision to return inside and join the party, which continued despite everything that had happened. The sound of someone crying suddenly made her step back. "Who's there?" She asked as she descended the steps,Thea worriedly sought for whoever it was which could probably be a woman. she saw princess Lilith Crow as the sobbing endlessly, cooking herself in-between the gigantic flower vase."Lilith?." She called."What happened to you?." She inquired, concerned. Theadora leaned down and sat beside Lilith who was obviously sad. "You shouldn't be wailing after rejecting your mate without thinking twice. You are the one who made such a decision." Thea blurted, making Lilith stare at her."What is it to you? I cannot accept someone who isn't up to my standards. I am a princess." "I am also a princess Lilith. Regardless, I once wish
Why do you come here?." Thea questioned but Ethan didn't answer. He just stood and stared at her without muttering any words."If you would excuse me, Ethan, I was just about to go to bed." Thea said. All of a sudden as she approached the bed, Ethan came upon her."What are you doing? Let me go." She struggled hard with him. Ethan growled and acted wildly with her. He trailed kisses on her neck and forcefully tried to undress her. "Stop this madness Ethan, let me go." Thea cried but he didn't listen. She could perceive the stench of alcohol from his breath. Ethan was drunk. He must've been drinking since they arrived and she wondered why. Thea thought that it was no excuse for him to try and use his drunkeness as an excuse to take advantage of her."Why?." His voice came out coldly."Why do you act nicely towards other men but act cruel towards me? Why Thea!." He yelled. Ethan's face turned crimson as he spoke with so much emotion. Thea wanted to reply but she couldn't find the right
Ethan was awoken by the sun rays which hit his face directly through the small opening in the window. He roamed his fingers through Thea's part of the bed and he discovered that it was just empty rough bed sheets and Thea was out of bed, Realizing that he was alone, Ethan jerked up from the bed. ‘Where had Theadora gone?’ He questioned himself rhetorically. Ethan wore his clothes and left the room. His intention was to go find Thea, but he surprisingly came across Kain outside the room. It seemed as though he had been awaiting him for a long time. "Your majesty." Kain greeted. Ethan walked past him in a hurry and Kain trailed behind him instantly. They both reach his study room and Ethan settles on his seat. "Where's Theadora?." Ethan asked,"She had been up for quite a while now, I saw her earlier at the courtyard.""Alone?.""No, she was accompanied by a guard." "Better." Ethan said."I found this from last night's attack." Ethan brought out the map from the drawer where he had k
On the next two days, Ethan conducted a journey to silverclaw pack for a meeting with Alpha Edward. His arrival was announced and Alpha Edward had his hosted by some maidens. He was busy settling some issues concerning the war horses when Ethan came and he didn't want to stress him, so he had them give him a welcome treatment before he went to attend to him."I heard Alpha Ethan visited our kingdom today." Arabella narrated to Grisella."What!." Grisella jerked up awkwardly."How come I wasn't aware of it?.""I just found out so I'm informing you." Ara said."Where is he now?." She asked."I heard that he's in one of the guest rooms that father had arranged pending his arrival. You can go and meet him now if you want, father is still busy with the horses." Ara revealed."Before that, I'll have to touch up my make up." Grisella said with a grin."Lora!." She yelled and her handmaiden ran inside to attend to her.Ethan was settled in the room but wasn't resting as anyone would expect h
