When they reached the gigantic gate entrance into the palace, Thea brought her head out of the carriage to admire her kingdom. She loved and missed her pack despite how badly they treated her before she got married..it's been a few months and it seemed like years. She watched as the strong werewolf men pulled the gate down and their carriage moved in. It was night time and the palace was so bright. Several designs of handmade touches were hung in assembly form from the gate till the palace entrance. When they got out of the carriage, Thea saw her father. Alpha Edward and Luna Isabella outside and ready to welcome them. The same time she saw her stepsisters Arabella and Gisella coming out together. Thea searched around but her brother Gregory was nowhere to be seen. She wore a long face just by thinking he didn't care to come out and welcome her.Ethan noticed her worry and pulled her closer to himself. When his cold arms wrapped her waist and pulled her close, Thea flinched fearfully.
"Mother! I didn't say anything to her. She is just insinuating things. I didn't." Gisella cried. "She is lying. We are being wrongly accused. I think her illness is acting up again." Arabella added pitifully. Thea was sick and tired of their pretense. The twins were still as evil and Capricious as they've always been since childhood. They purposely brought out the issue to provoke and make her look weak in front of the Alpha but unfortunately for them, she stood up for herself unlike old times."You should've thought of the consequences before you start gossiping." Thea spoke."Shut up Thea. You have already caused more problems for us and father. You should've never returned to this kingdom. You shouldn't even think of returning when the Alpha finally rejects you." "I know you are awaiting the news of my death so you can flaunt your shameless self for my husband to replace me with. Sorry to disappoint you Giselle, the Alpha has eyes for neither of us." Thea revealed and left the tab
"A few minutes ago, The princess was brought in cold and unconscious by prince Gregory" Kain explained to Alpha Ethan.Ethan rushed into the room and met Thea unconscious on the bed as expected. And Greg was Besides her on the bed. Ethan felt a bit jealous when he saw how Greg treated Thea and how he held her hand. They looked like intimate lovers at that moment. Ethan without hesitating, went to the bed.and made Greg excuse him and he sat besides Thea. He didn't know what to do but held her hand just as Gregory did earlier. Thea's palms were so cold against his.Shortly, the royal physician came in to examine her."The princess faced too much cold when she went out. Your highness, I think it'll be dangerous for her to go running again. It's better if she doesn't shift at all." The physician suggested. Alpha Edward was just in time to hear the news as he walked in."Whose fault is it that Thea went running tonight?." He asked facing Gregory who understood quite well what he was point
Alpha Ethan could be seen walking in the garden with Gisella and they were both discussing. Ethan refused talking with her over tea but they could discuss while strolling around the garden. Gisella was delighted about the fact that she had the chance to walk with Alpha Ethan. He was famous and well-known in over seven countries. She regrets her decision of rejecting the marriage proposal from his pack and shifted it to Thea. If she didn't listen to rumours about him being ugly and scarred on the face she wouldn't have allowed Thea have him. Gisella took her time to admire Ethan's good-looks and facial features down to his well built body. She imagined what it would be like if she had an Alpha as powerful and good-looking as him as her husband. She heard his wolf was a beast whenever he transits. "Are we done discussing? Since you don't seem to have anything else to say." Ethan pointed out quickly."I'm sorry your majesty. I was just lost in thoughts for a moment. What do you think abo
Later during midnight, a woman in blue gown and red hood walked around the vicinity of the castle heading towards the horses stable. After she arrived, Luna Isabella opened her hood and approached the horses calmly. She went for the horse of Alpha Ethan firstly and she touched it. Luna Isabella took out a potion from her pouch and a needle. Before anything else she maintained eye contact with the innocent animal and it got charmed. Luna Isabella knew magic because she was secretly a witch. It was a secret she had hidden from the silver Claws pack for years. She charmed the horse by using magic so it wouldn't make any noise when she pricks it with the needle. Isabella did the same to the other horses before returning to her chamber.Thea couldn't sleep at midnight, so she snuck out of bed and walked outdoors for some fresh air. She considered going to see brother George in the south wing so he might keep her company while she strolled around the royal grounds.Thea didn't do it because
Thea had never seen Ethan so emotional. He must've really valued his horses and especially Ragnar. Thea knew that the evidence pointed to her so she couldn't really prove her innocence at that moment.Thea didn't say anything and she got back her hair clip and left the stable. The thoughts of Ethan getting angry and accusing her and most of all the evidence he got to support his claims made Thea worry. She didn't want to get punished by him just like the last time. She thought of how to prove her innocence but then it would be awkward. If she didn't care about the Alpha, what would she want to prove her innocence to him? Thea went to her brother Greg's chamber to seek his advice and support on the issue.A guard walked in to announce Thea's visit and Gregory instantly responded for her to be allowed inside."Thea." Greg called out and hugged her.Thea stared at him suspiciously."Did you hear about the issue?." She asked curiously and he nodded."You know I can't hide anything from yo
Thea still proceeded to prove herself but when he waited to see what she would bring, he saw nothing but the hair clip.Why would she bring the evidence to the scene to prove herself innocent?.He noticed and saw Thea's handmaiden Ina come with a piece of white clothing."Your majesty, this is the hair clip found at the scene." She explained..Thea pours out a liquid substance into a bowl and dipped the hair clip into it.Another white clothing was brought out and Thea displayed a similar hair clip."This is my real hair clip. Now if you noticed you did your investigations properly you should already know the king of poison which was used on the horses?." Thea asked."A poison. Only manufactured by the Azar clan Werewolves." Alpha Edward revealed."One of the symptoms of the poison is that wherever it touches whether someone's skin or a thing would turn purple. Right?." Thea asked and he nodded. "I just discovered that it only turns purple when this substance touches it." She pointed
Gregory growled at Ethan and swung his sharp claws at his face as he rushed to meet Thea."You questioned your wife, and now you flee when she is in danger? Do I call you an Alpha or a coward for not standing up for or supporting his wife in this critical situation?" Gregory pushed Ethan aside as he walked away with Thea.Despite this, Ethan joined them, and others followed.In the morning, Alpha Ethan sat in his chamber, waiting for Kain to bring him information about Thea's health. Gregory had taken care of Thea all night in his room, according to what he had heard, and had not let anyone in. That continued until evening, when there was still no news about Thea. Ethan was intrigued by what was going on with Thea and couldn't resist the urge to visit her at the southwest palace."Thea." Gregory called softly."Do you not see how much I love you and adore you?." "I hate it whenever I see you in this situation and can't do anything to help you." He grinned and took her hand and kissed
