LOGINJax’s POV“I wiped her off to be with Elsa, if she would even accept me.” I shake my head. “I heard of it, that you killed her and that it wasn't suicide, you know I just wanted to hear it from your lips.” His face grew tight. Partially he's angry, the other side, he can't judge me. “Hmm,” I breathe hard.“This is a really serious case, what are you going to do now?” “The only person who can help is the king and for the king to help me, his daughter must speak to him.” I say grudgingly. “But the problem is if she will want to.” Marcus rises from his seat, heading to me. “But why did you do that to her?” “Why didn't you send her away like you did Elsa.” I smile. “I never wanted her back in my life.” I grunt. The difference is clear, I knew I'd get Elsa back one day, if not now but one day but Vanessa, I didn't want her back, not even in my dreams. I'm quite clear about this and will never regret it. “You haven't told me what she did to you.” “She and my dad planned to kill El
Ella’s POV I laugh out loud as I sit at the edge of the window looking out while my nanny bathes my Sophie and Aimes. After returning from the arrest, my body really needs some rest. Aside from very important things, I don't do anything. I know the workload is much on my nanny, taking care of two kids but she never complains, it's not an issue with her. Besides, she takes care of them like her own kids and five thousand dollars a month isn't child's play. I have to compensate her really well. The same price Jax used to pay me. Like a whirlwind, his request comes to mind. I burst out laughing again. I remember how he was begging me to save him. I'm the only one who can save him from Alpha Hart of the Hartwood Pack. Even the Alpha King seems to hate him after what his dad did to us. “What are you laughing at, ma'am?” Alice, who was bathing my Sophie and Aimes nearby, asked. “Hmm, quite funny. I can't believe that man would betray me and my family with his dad only to turn back and

Jax’s POVEverything is exposed, and I’m just here wondering why I did it. Regretting every bit of it.“Take him away, I won’t tolerate such an act in my pack.” Says Alpha Steele.The man that’s supposed to protect me, is ordering my arrest in front of the whole crowd.My body is shaking and shivering, not because I’m innocent, but because I’m caught. And I might probably spend the rest of my days in prison.“This can’t be the end of it.” I say as my heart is pounding hard in my chest.I look towards the throne, Ella is there, she must be tired of me, I know I have messed up.The soldiers stepped forward, each step they took made me go insane.“Dad, please do something.” I said.Trying to plead with my father, to at least pardon my act, but a murder is a very big crime to just pardon like that.But my Dad doesn’t respond, this can’t be the end of me. I need to do something.My chest tightens, Lucien is there without saying a word, the whole crowd becomes silent.I already know it.Bef
Ella’s POV She looks a little sad, or maybe not exactly sad, but like someone who has been hunted. I wonder who she is because she refuses to bow to the king’s order, I think to myself.My fingers tighten slightly on the armrest of the throne as I stand. I blink and try to see her more clearly. She is still there, very clear in my view. Then I suddenly remember who she is. It is Melissa.The realization hits me quickly. “What is Melissa doing here?” I whisper under my breath.Before I can say anything louder, the feeling in the hall changes. I can no longer see her, she is gone. I look around quickly, trying to find her, but there is no sign of her anywhere.“Moon goddess… am I seeing things?” the words slip out of my mouth.But I was not, it was all real, because others confirmed it. A few seconds later when the crowd began to murmur to the disappearance of Melissa, the King and Queen try to calm us down. Telling us to stay composed.Then suddenly, the doors at the back of the hall
Ella’s POVWe begin to dance together to the sound of the music, Jax takes my hand gently.The sound of the music isn’t gentle or calming to my ears, because I never intend to dance with Jax, I wanted Lucien, but the King doesn’t approve of it.It echoes through the grand hall, filling my ears and settling heavily in my chest, making it difficult to focus on anything else.“Smile, Ella. Try to look happy,” Jax says softly as he pulls me a little closer.I force a smile on my face, even though I don’t want to. Still, I do it for peace to reign.I have already learned the consequences of refusing to obey the king. I don’t want to be on his bad side, considering what he did to my father.My fingers rest gently on Jax’s shoulder as he guides me across the tiled floor of the grand hall.We dance to the music, but nothing about it feels comforting to me, it feels like I’m being forced to be here.Every movement feels pushed and forced.High above us are enormous chandeliers that shine with a

Ella’s POV The moment I step through the hidden doorway, I am still shocked that my hand is able to open a secret door.Fear tightens in my chest. What if this place is dangerous? What if I am not supposed to be here?Countless thoughts race through my mind.As I walk forward, the sound of my foot
Ella’s POVThe journey wasn't what I expected right from time, it was sudden, something I had to comply with out of curiosity.But nevertheless, we arrived at our destination.After some minutes, forty-five if I'm not mistaken, the private jet lands quietly with a soft sound, but I already sense so
