Even more terrifying was the fact that she shifted into a giant white wolf with ice, flame, and blood wolf attributes later that night.I couldn't understand it till she explained to me about merging souls with the real Erica to transform her bloodline, by ingesting some of Erica's heart blood to transform hers. Crazy things happened. Even after healing the people, she insisted on confessing the truth when she could have continued to live as Erica using her new ability. The council insisted on her execution for Alex's death, trying to kill me, and the murder of Erica. Worse was the push from Annalise and ice flame territories. I couldn't believe that a maid who loved her so much would one day see her with so much hatred. But I guessed, the one she loved was Erica whom she grew up with, not Rona the imposter. A
RONA'S POVMy heart was beating erratically in the carriage I was currently in. In a moment, the celebration had turned sour and the food had settled like lead in my belly. After the harbinger of unwelcome news broke it to everyone, it was discovered that the plague was caused through the use of dark sorcery. Worse, it came from the area of my previous pack, twisting my belly in knots. I couldn't help but think that someone who knew my secret was trying to blackmail and ruin me, by making it seem as if I had something to do with the plague and was trying to bring the empire down. Now, I was regretting carelessly blurting out how I initially wanted to kill him. I just handed them more ammunition to use against me. The solution that was brought forth was for me to open the ice moon temple, belonging to Erica's mother's family as the only surviving female descendant. I had tried to avoid it, but everyone pushed me to go, saying that I only needed my bloodline to open the relic temple.
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POVThe table was set before us and the new set of musicians began to entertain the guests while the food was served. Of course, they have been eating and drinking wine since they arrived. Those that came earlier even had breakfast twice before the party. I made sure of that. No one in the imperial city was allowed to have an empty stomach during my birthdays. This was the main banquet, when I will finally eat in the hall with them. Food was served and my inner circle officials joined us in the table. The likes of Liam and Conrad didn't have a permanent spot because they have been too busy. I wanted to invite Harvey, but it seemed my wife didn't like her family. So I would rather not upset her. Maybe later, I would see them in private and check if they needed anything. I turned to Erica, and the scowl was back on her face. I looked up to see why. The girls were still staring lustfully at me. I really couldn't help it. I didn't ask to be born so handsome and charis
RONA'S POVHearing those alphas mutter about my biological father being a traitor made my heart feel clammy, and the seat suddenly became uncomfortable. Even Richard's enemies agreed that he was an upright emperor. Why then did he massacre my clan? Or did I make a mistake? Could my father have done something horrible to make the entire pack responsible? Now that I think of it, mom seemed to have mentioned how she couldn't believe my father couple do that to her? What on earth did he do? If it was true that my father betrayed his emperor, then my situation would be more precarious than I initially thought. Even if I gave up on revenge to remain by his side for restitution while investigating the case to get the answers I seek, I might still not be safe. If my father was truly a traitor that did something that implicated the entire pack, I as his daughter would never be able to escape death. Richard would hate me more than he ever loved me. He would never forgive me for deceiving him
RONA'S POVThe door opened, and I stepped outside, slowly making my way to the landing. I never knew that there was a corridor that led to the grand hall from the imperial quarters till the guard led me in through it. The party was already in full swing and the emperor had entered ten minutes ago.
