VANCEI kicked the man in the stomach and he rolled over on the ground, in pain. Before he could escape, I placed my feet on his chest, and I took the list from him. "Give it to me! You're not qualified to touch that!" The man screamed at me. I signalled at one of the guards with me and he promptly held down the man. "Is it that Trevor is unafraid of death? You are all unafraid of death? He actually sent you, a scout, to our border, to check what we are up to?" I asked the man , a sneer on my face. He was one of Trevor's scouts that we had caught near our border, and this time, I was able to catch him before he killed himself. "Hmph! Do you think you are impressive just because you caught me?" He sneered at me. I scoffed, not wanting to waste my time on him. The only reason he was still alive and running his mouth was because of the list I had on him. "What list is this?" I asked the man, as I opened it. "It's a list of all of the people who deserve to die! The people who hav
CAMILE My eyes snapped open at once, and it was like they had never been closed in the first place. I looked around me, and I instantly realized that I was not in the bedroom that I had grown used to over the last couple of weeks. However, I was still in the castle; the lush gardens just outside the window reminded me of that. "You are awake," I heard, and turned sharply. A smiling old man dressed in white was looking at me, a knowing look on his face. Judging by how I had passed out, I had a good guess who this person was. "You are the healer?" I asked him. The healer nodded his head, and he took my hand. "Your pulse is normal," he noted. However, just then, I felt a sharp pain in my head, and the same voice that I had heard before I had passed out sounded in my head again. "It's not just you anymore," I was even more bewildered. What did this mean?"Your pulse is fine, however, your body has been restless ever since you passed out," the healer said, still holding on to my
VANCECamile had a shocked look on her face as we walked out of the dungeon, and I felt hesitant to ask her what was going on The traitor had accused her of defecting and being crazy ...and I really could not understand what those words meant. It didn't make much sense to me at all. "Camile ...what was the meaning of that?" Finally, Brandon was the one who asked the question I had on my mind. Camile turned to me, a pale look on her face. She seemed really worried about something, and this was the first time I had seen her like this ever since all of this started. Camile always seemed to be so in control of her emotions, thinking before acting, but this time, she seemed pretty shaken by what the traitor had said. "Camile?" I called her name. ."Trevor....he is spreading lies about me ...no, he has been spreading lies about me ....ever since you kidnapped me years ago...." Camile said, shaking her head. I hung my head in shame when she brought up how I kidnapped her years ago. I
CAMILE I had no idea how much time had passed, but Vance and I sat in his study, each lost in our own thoughts. Vance had sent Brandon to investigate, and I was not willing to leave till I got the result of the investigation. If Trevor sent that symbol to me, then it just meant that the spy in this pack was someone that held a high rank in Trevor's army. It wasn't something like Gretchen, who could be abandoned once she was no longer useful. Finally, Brandon arrived, a bitter look on his face. He glanced at me, for only a split second, before he started reporting to Vance. Brandon whispered something to him, and I rolled my eyes. After everything that I had done and was still doing, these people were still guarded against me. Did I need to give my life for them to know that I was serious about helping them fight Trevor?Vance nodded his head at Brandon, and then he looked at me. "Brandon says that one of the guards was seen meeting with someone by the river. However, this isn
CAMILE Brandon was waiting for me as soon as I walked out of the training grounds; there was a cold look on his face as he peeked into the room. Brandon looked back at me a few seconds later, a new appreciation in his eyes, and I smiled. I was sure that, just like everyone else, he thought that I wouldn't be able to handle those men. "What? Did you think that they were going to overpower me?" I asked him, a smile on my face. "Those men have a strong sense of pride. They definitely wouldn't have liked listening to a woman from a rival pack....how did you do it?" Brandon asked me, a hint of suspicion in his tone. I shook my head, realizing that no matter what I did, his guard would always be up around me. "It's no big deal; I just let them see what's important. Besides, I have been dealing with tough men like them for a long time. They definitely wouldn't be able to overpower me," I said Brandon gave it up when he saw that he was not going to get anything out of me. "The Alpha
CAMILE. "What? Are we expected to accept it just because the alpha said so?" One of the elders raged. "Yes, we still don't trust this woman. No matter what, we can't leave the survival of our pack up to her. I am personally not going to stand for it!" Another voice added. I was starting to get a headache. Did these old men really have to be so difficult? What was the point of making things hard on themselves and everyone else? "I don't..... I don't think it's such a bad idea to have her do this....Camile recently found a spy that is working for Trevor. It's a maid who has been in the castle for a long time. If it wasn't for her...well, we don't know how long we'd have let her be without knowing who she was," one of the guards spoke up. "Yes...last night when she asked me to go after the intruder...I was shocked at first, but then I realized that there was indeed an intruder in the castle ...how many times has someone sneaked into the castle without us knowing about it? We need to
