LOGINKing Kerman’s POVI knitted my brows in confusion. “What do you mean by that? Like I said, I employed her myself, and I know the difference between a wolf and a solarian. She’s not one of us. No in that sense.”“And I do not doubt you for a second, your majesty. But she’s neither a wolf or a solarian.”She paused. “You see that woman?” she pointed at her.“There’s basically nothing wrong with her. There’s no treatment I can give to her to make her feel better because she’s not sick. She’s only experiencing an awakening.”My chest tightened.“Awakening? Of what? What exactly are you trying to say, grey mother? And what did you mean by those words? She’s my enemy.”She stopped right in front of me. “Now I’m going to tell you something but upon hearing it, you must control yourself because even this child did not know the truth. She didn’t and still does not. Perhaps until she wakes up and fully understands.”I never got nervous but at that point, I was starting to feel it.“Can you ju
King Kerman’s POV“Call the grey mother at once!”I yelled at everyone around.“She’s here, your majesty,” Caius said behind me just as the woman made her way in.She went straight to the bed and began touching her.She paused and stared at me immediately.“What is it?” I asked sharply.“Your majesty, Why is her body so cold? Did something happen?”“Same thing I’m wondering,” I replied. “We just found her like that. I have no idea what is going on.”She went back to check on her, pressing different pulse points around her body.“Your Majesty, has something like this happened. And please take your time, I need to know.”I didn’t need to take my time because she was right. Something like this had happened not too long ago.“Yes. A few days ago, something strange happened. It had similarities with what she’s displaying now.”Her eyes widened.That caught my attention.“What is it? How bad is it?”“Your majesty,” she whispered, but paused.“Say something. Anything at all. This is not the
Mother Luna’s POVI stood by the window, fingers balled into a fist. Just then, the door pushed open and I knew it was Rose coming in. I whipped my head back as quickly as I could, questioning her.“Have you done it?”“Yes, your Grace. We dumped her on the pavement.”“And did anyone see you?”She shook her head. “No, no one that should worry us.”I let out a deep breath, finally managing to sit.“Your Grace, I know it is none of my business and I do not mean to offend you—.”“They do not ask.”She swallowed. “Your Grace, I think this is important.”I sighed. “Fine. What do you have to say?”“Your Grace, did something happen there?”I turned to her, eyeing her slowly. “And what is that supposed to mean? Didn’t I already tell you what happened?”“Of course, of course. I just thought—.”“What? That I was lying?”She shook her head, dropping to her knees immediately. “Not at all, your grace. Forgive me.”I hissed, looking away. “I just wanted to know if there is anything we should pre
king Kerman’s POV“Your majesty, please get up.”The familiar voice sounded into my ear and slowly, I opened my eyes, trying to get used to the light.Caius was right in front of me, eyes unusually gloomy.As I began to pull my unusually tired body off the bed, he stretched to help me. But something stopped me.A hand. I paused instantly, realizing there was someone else beside me.Thalia. She looked…naked.I froze for a moment, staring between her Caius.“What— what is going on here? How did she get here?”Silence.She stirred, trying to put her hand over my body.I pushed it away and turned back to him.“Caius, what the hell is going on here? How did Thalia end up on my bed? Naked. And where is Elle?”He swallowed but said nothing.I jumped off the bed, smacking my hand hard on the table.“Answer me, Caius. What the hell is going on here?”He dropped to his knees, pleading,. “Forgive me, your majesty. I have committed a great sin unto you.”“What?”He didn’t look at my face, he ju
Elle’s POVTo say I regretted living, his chambers was an understatement. His instruction was simple.I had to wait there for him till he got back and I was waiting until I got Bianca’s message. She wanted me to meet her in the garden for something important. It had to do with the series of side talks going on about me in the palace. I knew she was as stressed about it as I was and had been looking for ways to put an end to it so as much as I just wanted to let it go, I didn’t want it to seem like she was wasting her efforts. I left the room, certain that I would be back before his meeting ended. However, where I found myself was the last place I expected to be.I was on the ground, my hands bound behind me. The witchy mother Luna was seated in front of me, smiling like she had hit the jackpot.“Your Grace, the king is not going to be happy with this.”She smirked like she had nothing to be worried about.For a second, my heart skipped because I actually believed her thoughts were t
king Kerman’s POVI walked into my chambers, fuming. I had just finished a meeting session with the elders and all they could talk about was me sending her away. As if that wasn’t bad enough, petitions from the smaller packs had begun to roll in. Although they were careful with the words and presented it like they just wanted a queen for the kingdom, the message was still clear.My mother was walking behind the scene to get her out of the picture and forced me to marry Thalia. Things were still early with Elle but if they continued to push me, I would have to come to a quick decision about her and it did not involve her being far away from me.By the time I got in, I was surprised to see she wasn’t there. I expected her to be there. I specifically told her to wait for me so where has she gone.“Caius?” I called out but a guard ran into the room.“I didn’t ask for you, where is Caius?”“Your Majesty, he gave us a message to pass along to you. He said he would be absent for a few hours
King Kerman’s POVThe healer was in my room and I was about to tell her the matter of the uncompleted ritual dance, hoping she could have any kind of solution, when a loud scream tore from the inner chambers where Elle was.I stiffened as we both turned our heads sharply towards the door. My legs m
Thalia's POVWe walked into my bedroom together and although I was a little nervous because Theron was right. The ritual wasn’t something to play with but I decided not to let fear get the best of me. It would only stop me from achieving what I needed to.All I had to do was take a little blood oat
Thalia’s POVAfter the mother Luna’s rejection of seeing me, I knew something was up. She would rarely ever reject me. If not for anything, for her relationship with my father, which I knew was more than just based on politics.I had caught them a few times sneaking around, an act that could cost b
Mother Luna’s POVI looked up at the ceiling, not focusing one bit on it. The only thing I was focused on was the killer pain slowly killing me.I had let this get too far before handling it this time around.Something that never used to happen. “Who was at the door?” I managed to ask my head ma
