ログインChapter 121A Hand I Wasn’t Ready to TakeAdelaide’s POVRey stood behind me, her eyes solely on me, her hand still on my shoulder.I jerked slightly, my heart jumping in my chest as I looked at her again. “How did you even get in here?” I asked, my voice weak and filled with confusion.She smiled like it was nothing. “I told you,” she said softly, stepping a little closer to me. “I can go anywhere I want.”Her voice was calm, like walking into a guarded palace chamber without being seen was just normal, but I understood. She was a witch and she had different abilities. I wondered if I was like her, if I had her abilities as well.I stared at her for a few seconds, then I looked away.She looked at me more carefully, her eyes softening as they moved over my face. “You’re hurt,” she said quietly.It wasn’t a question. I wondered how she knew I was hurt and how she knew to come at the right time. I guess her witch abilities had so much advantage.I swallowed slowly and looked away. “I’

Chapter 120Shattered AgainAdelaide’s POVThe tone in his voice made me pause, like he already had an answer in his head and he was just waiting to see if I would lie.I swallowed, then I spoke, my voice a bit shaky. “Last night…” I said slowly. “Athena drugged you.”His expression didn’t change, so I continued.“She came to your room. She… she tried to…” I stopped, my throat tightening. “I found out,” I added quickly. “I stopped it. I had her taken and locked in the dungeon.”There was a bit of silence.For a moment, I thought Kaius would be proud of me, but I was wrong.Kaius just stared at me, his face unreadable and then, all of a sudden, his eyes darkened and he exploded.“You what?”I flinched slightly at the force in his voice, surprised. “I locked her in the dungeon,” I repeated, my voice softer now. “She tried to…”“You have no such right to decide for me!!”The words hit me like a slap and my breath caught as I froze completely.His voice echoed in the room loudly and fille
Chapter 119The Fire Between UsAdelaide’s POVMy jaw tightened. “You know nothing!!” I said quietly. “And you talk too much.”She laughed. “Oh, please…” She moved closer again. “He will never choose you over me once he sees what you really are.”That was enough, so I turned toward the door, hoping anyone could hear me. “Guards…” I called.Thankfully, they heard and immediately the door opened and two guards rushed in. They stopped when they saw the scene.“Luna…” They bowed, lowering their eyes.I pointed at Athena without hesitation. “Take her to the dungeon..” I said.Their eyes widened. “My lady….”“Now!!” I said.They moved toward her immediatel as Athena stepped back.“You can’t do this..” She snapped. “Don’t touch me.”They grabbed her arms firmly as she struggled under their grip. “This is a mistake.” She shouted. “You have no damn right!!”I looked at her calmly. “You drugged the Alpha.” I said. “That alone is enough.”Her eyes widened. “You don’t know what you're doing!!” S
Chapter 118A Step Toward HimAdelaide’s POVI finished the last spoon of food slowly, even though I was already full.Paula had insisted I eat everything, and I didn’t have the strength to argue with her. Not when she's asking if she should get some more.I placed the bowl gently on the tray and leaned back against the pillows and then, my eyes drifted toward the window, but I wasn’t really looking outside.I was thinking about everything. About Kaius and that night and the way he had looked at me, like I had shattered something inside him.My chest tightened. “I think…” I started slowly.Paula, who had been adjusting the tray, paused and turned to me immediately.“My lady?” she asked, her voice soft as she turned to me.I looked at her. “I think I should go and see him,” I said quietly. “And explain everything.”The moment the words left my mouth, Paula’s expression changed and her brows pulled together.“My lady…” she said slowly, stepping closer to the bed. “Are you sure that’s a
Chapter 117A Trap I Walked IntoAdelaide’s POV Paula nodded immediately, her expression turning serious again. “Of course you are,” she said quickly. “You haven’t eaten in days.”I let out a breath. “That explains it.”Paula stood up right away. “I’ll get your meal immediately,” she said, already moving toward the door.“Wait,” I called softly as she turned back.“Make it something light,” I added. “I don’t think I can handle anything heavy yet.”She nodded. “I understand, my lady.” Then she gave me a reassuring smile. “Everything will be alright.”I watched her for a moment, then I nodded slowly. “I hope so…” I whispered.She didn’t hear me, or maybe she did and chose not to respond.Either way, she turned and left the room quickly as the door closed softly behind her.I watched the door for a moment, then heaved and started robbing my stomach, waiting for her. _____Kaius’ POVI was going to my study, but then my steps slowed the moment I heard voices ahead.I stayed where I was,
Chapter 77The Alpha AwakensAdelaide’s POV I turned and walked away almost immediately, not looking back.But I could feel his eyes on me, my heart beating faster than usual. I turned into the corner of the next corridor and stopped and tilted my back to the wall.I placed my hand over my chest.
Chapter 26The RideChristine stood and bowed once more. “It will be done.”As she turned to leave, the Queen Mother spoke again.“Games are most enjoyable,” she said, “when the other player does not know they are playing.”Christine smiled to herself as she exited the chamber.And behind her, the
Chapter 27Paula's QuestionsThe Queen Mother set the cup down untouched. “Unacceptable.”She turned sharply, boiling with anger. “Kaius does not need calming. He needs focus.”Christine lowered her head. “What would you have me do?”The Queen Mother paced the room once, then twice. “We remind him
Chapter 29What Is MineKaius’ POVMy hand stayed on her skin longer than it should have.Magnus was stirring inside me asking me to claim her as always. I couldn't resist her and I couldn't really tell what she was doing to me. “Stop..” I said almost like a whisper to Magnus, trying to stop him f
