LOGINIt was strange seeing the castle buzz with activities, the halls and public was filled with at least ten servants, workers and elders moving around. My father was someone who never liked the crowd and people around; there were no frequent parties or gatherings that he ever enjoyed, Selene’s arrival must be one special event in his life.I chuckled and shook my head, wondering how we got to the point where the cold ruthless father I had grown to know was now someone who acted like a love bird. The woman who he had acquired was in charge now, running the affairs of the kingdom. The guards and maids bowed and greeted as I walked past, well not many of them, there was still a sworn loyalty the citizens had for my father so I knew the rest that cared to acknowledge my presence was either doing so out of pity or just decorum. I walked down to locate Selene’s chambers, deliberately avoiding my father and his lap dogs. The risk of going to her chambers was well considered since they all dot
This was the first time in a long while my father gave me the permission to come to the fortress; it was the perfect time to rub dirt in my face, the crimson vale pack has been housing a saboteur and a conspirator. I still attended the trial anyways, keeping my head high in this situation to show that I had no hand in this; Lara had wasted her chances in coming to the fortress which was a win for me. It would buy me time to see Selene personally; the throne was the goal above anything else. My father and Selene got seated before anyone else, this was the power and prestige the throne gave to whomever claimed it. I admired the throne room swiftly with my eyes lingering on the throne and finally on Selene. The eldest council member stood to commence the trial, “the hearing would begin now, bring in the culprit.” The man walked in looking grim, my heart thundered, shame filled my face and stomach as I glanced across the room to take in the view of the culprit; my own pack elder. Chri
I knew expecting a response from Selene immediately would be very silly of me, but I’m on a mission to win her back so baby steps. I was going to make her fall for me little by little; she would have to fall in love with me while still maintaining her position as my father’s wife and the queen of the obsidian throne. Once I achieve that, I would plot to take down my father with her help; she would be too enamored with me to oppose it and must have given me all veto power by then. There would be no other opposition from any of the royal cabinet because the power vested on me would supersede all, then Lara would be my queen and Selene would be taken down.As for Lara, her freedom would be curbed permanently even when she becomes my Luna and queen. The previous incident was another warning to keep my plans secret, away from her knowing eyes and ears. Besides she kept hers from me so it was a fair game, who knows how many more she was keeping from me. I dressed as fast as I could for t
“I’m afraid you would hurt yourself and that would not be so nice.” He said softly. I was so engrossed in the duty of making sure I erase anything related to Dorian, unfortunately this fortress and his father cannot be erased. There’s nothing they did wrong anyways. “I’ll let it burn up without me holding it,” I said without turning in his direction. “Is it safe?” he responded. “The smell has to go away,” I replied absent-mindedly. I straightened up immediately when it occurred to me who was standing in the room with me, I spun around swiftly and with a little bow I asked. “My lord, what brings you to my chambers by this hour?” He chuckled, walked backwards to the vanity and leaned towards it. “Feigning formalities with me now? Is it a crime to visit my wife at any hour I so desire?” he drawled on the word ‘my wife’ with a feline-like sexy smile. It reminded me of how drawn I was to him, wishing every single day with shameful horror that he would visit my chambers. I blushed and
Investigations commenced immediately and with each turn, we were faced with strong opposition; it was either the council members who were adamant about providing the useful records and details, or the village chief who would not make established laws and enforcement on the basis of forgetfulness or extreme workload. Anonymous threats and warnings were equally surfacing at one point or the other, but we were able to pull through.We pressed harder until the elders succumbed first and did nothing to oppose me or my team anymore; they just provided whatever information we needed. Although their compliance was a good thing, I was still suspicious of their dealings and felt the information provided was either false or work shopped. Since there was no proof to that, I kept my cool. The village chiefs on the other hand were still adamant; all we had to do was buy time continually and exercise patience. Bram was going to find out anyway and then we would see who the major culprit is. The d
Christopher requested a meeting with me saying he had some information from the council and the queen Selene. I took my sweet time preparing for the meeting, being too early was going to expose my enthusiasm for the information. Christopher better have something solid for me or else he would be in trouble. I got there an hour late, the perfect time to show who truly the boss is. When I got there, he sat quietly at the corner of the café observing the other customers that visited. I sat down without acknowledging my presence, he didn’t acknowledge mine either. “You’re late,” he said nonchalantly, sipping his tea. I sneered, “do you realize I am going to be your Luna soon?” “I don’t see how that’s going to happen,” he muttered. I stifled a sly smile, “I will pretend that you did not say that. Hurry up with your news, I don’t have all day.” He looked away, “the queen is gaining grounds and lots of power. She has the king enabling her now and in a few months or years, she’ll be able
