The Ride

Christine 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 Queen Mother remained seated, already imagining how the elders would shift once the first question was asked.

She laughed, taking another cup of coffee from what was served.

    Chapter 62Collapse of the KingAdelaide’s POV “Kaius!”I screamed louder, wrapping my arms around him. He fell heavy in my arms, and I dropped to my knees with him. His weight nearly pulled me down completely, but I held on, my hands clutching his shoulders and reaching to his face. “Kaius, look at me,” I begged, shaking him lightly. “Kaius!”His eyes were half-open and his lips parted like he wanted to speak, but no words came out.Suddenly, what looked like a wall around us tore open as the air shifted. The invisible wall had kept the guards out and when Rey disappeared, it didn't disappear with her, I just saw it crack and now it was finally off. “My lady!”They rushed towards me immediately and when they saw Kaius on the floor, they were totally surprised. I heard someone gasp when they saw him on the ground.Two guards dragged Paula in with them. She looked weak, her dress torn and her wrists red, but she was conscious now.Immediately, she rushed towards me, even in her we

    Chapter 61Interrupted ExecutionAdelaide’s POV “Who is your father?” Rey asked one more time, stepping closer and for a second, I truly thought I misheard her.I looked straight at her, utterly surprised by the question she was asking. What does she mean who's my father?! What does she need such information for? Besides, my father is already dead, she won't be able to harm him, if that's what she wants. I wanted to speak, to tell her his name, but then something crossed my mind. She's a wife, what if she tries to torrment his spirit or cage him in a way?!No way I'd be telling her that. I swallowed hard and looked at her again.She stepped closer again, “answer me..” she said in a lower tone, her gaze not leaving mine.“My… what?”“Your father,” she repeated gently. “Who is he?”My heart began to pound, I wondered what she was going to do to me, if I withheld the information. Should I lie to her or something? Will she find out I lied?! I thought, my fingers entwined absentmindedl

    Chapter 60The Witch Visits The Luna Adelaide’s POV “Kaius?” I called, moving closer to the body the soldiers held. “My lady, you can't see him..” Paula held me, trying to stop me with a little shake of her head. “Is that really him?!” I kept moving, ignoring her completely. The courtyard felt too loud and too quiet at the same time, soldiers shouting and boots slamming against stone, but none of it made sense because all I could see was the body they carried between them.Four men carrying a man, whose hand looked too loose to be alive.My heart stopped beating. “Kaius!” I shouted again, my voice breaking as I pushed past two guards who tried to block me.They lowered the body near the fountain as I dropped to my knees immediately. That was when I saw his face, it wasn't Kaius at all. The breath I didn’t know I was holding left me in a rush as my vision blurred.The scout lying there was young, barely older than a boy. His neck was bent wrong and his eyes appeared too cold like

    Chapter 59The Confrontation Adelaide’s POV I couldn't get my mind off the sound I was hearing outside. I kept peeping out of the window, hoping I'd see Kaius by the slightest chance.I clasped my fingers together, “is Kaius alright out there?” Suddenly, the door opened and Paula rushed in almost immediately. I rushed to meet her half way too, staring straight into eyes.“Paula, what's the situation of things out there? Where's the alpha?”My voice came out tighter than I meant it to. I stood near the center table in my chambers, tapping my fingers on it. Paula stood near the door, her hands clasped together in front of her apron. She had been avoiding my eyes since she rushed in, and that alone told me something was wrong.“Your Majesty… you should sit,” she said softly.“No,” I replied immediately. “Not until you tell me where Kaius is.”She inhaled slowly, as if searching for the right words.“Paula.”“He left to find the witch,” she finally said.The words landed like a blow.

    Chapter 58The Witch’s TrailAdelaide’s POV His thumb traced lightly across my cheekbone and my breath caught.“You make it sound easy,” he whispered.“It isn’t,” I admitted. “But it’s honest.”His gaze dropped to my lips.The world seemed to shrink around us. His hand slid to the back of my neck, gentle but firm.“Adelaide…” he said my name like it meant something fragile and sacred at the same time.My fingers slowly curled into the front of his shirt, holding onto him without thinking.He leaned closer that I could feel his breath.But, just before our lips met, a loud knock slammed against the chamber door and both of us froze.Another knock came, urgent this time.“Alpha! Emergency message from the border scouts!”Kaius cursed under his breath, pulling back immediately. His hand dropped from my neck, but his eyes stayed locked on mine.“Come in,” he called sharply. The door opened, and one of the guards rushed inside, bowing quickly.“Alpha, we have movement along the eastern bo

    Chapter 57A Night of ConfessionsKaius' POV I slid my arm over her waist, holding her in place before she got to the floor. For a minute, she looked at me, her mouth a bit open.“I… I… uhm thank you, I should head back now.” She said and when she saw the guards and maids staring, she ran off. “Adela….” I called, but she was already far gone. I turned and the guards snapped into position, as though they hadn't been staring. “Didn't I tell you to tell the guards and maids to retreat for a few minutes?!” I said to Rafaello, who was standing close to me. “I'm sorry Alpha, I misunderstood you…” he said. I had wanted to display something for my mother, I wanted her to see how much I cherish Adelaide, so she wouldn't bring up awkward statements again.“Next time, pay more attention!” I said and walked away almost immediately. “Alpha…” Rafaello called, running after me. ____Adelaide's POV “Do you like this style?” Paula asked, as the comb traced my hairline. “Do anything that sui
