LOGINKaelen’s POV
The tension between us was silent. Nessa occasionally looked over her shoulder with a smile. It seemed she wanted to be sure I was still following behind her. Which was strange.Why would I stop halfway? I chose to join her in whatever she planned. I didn’t think it would be dubious but I was open to it as well. We stepped out of the mansion through the back to an open field.It stretched a distance and with a gate at the far end. A guardKaelen’s POV“It’s under the class of jasnite. Most rogues do not like the smell, but if the nectar is drawn, it can be used to slow down rogues. People tend to mistake it for wolf’s bane but unlike it, jasnite doesn’t harm us normal wolves. Just rogues.”I was back in the garden. Although it was beautiful earlier in the day, now, alone with lights lining up the paths, the garden looked ten times better. Every flower stood out beautifully even those whose petals were closed up.I once again stopped before jasnite 2.0 as Nessa had called it. It was still in that glass box with a light bulb so close to it. I bent over taking a closer look. It had some wet patches on the leaves.It was a beautiful flower. It looked almost similar to a marigold but purple. I was tempted to touch it but the glass around it stopped me from doing so. “Tempted to touch?”I snapped my head to the side at the voice,
Riven’s POV“That was careless, Venessa!”We’ve been in the pack house for two days now and this was the first time I heard Alpha Mira’s voice this high. “Anything the matter?” Cassien’s voice came from the speaker of my phone close to my ear.I was just about to say no when Mira's next words made me pause. “You could have gotten her killed. Do you fucking know who she is? She is a general. A general of a pack kingdom we cannot afford to mess with.”“I’ll call you later,” I said. Without letting him speak, I pressed the end button.I took a sit, picking up my wine glass. The walls of this mansion were usually thin. Alpha Mira should be aware of this but it seems she was too engrossed in the conversation.“Come on, it’s not like she died or anything,” Venessa’s voice followed. “Almost isn’t dead, you know and I had to be sure.”“You had to be sure? Do you hear yourself? Do you know if sh

We stepped out of the mansion through the back to an open field.It stretched a distance and with a gate at the far end. A guard stood at the side and gave us a small bow before pushing the gate open. The first thing to hit me was the smell.Roses, mint, rosemary, wet soil with a hint of citrus notes. They all came at once, a combination not just sweet to the senses but a sight to see. The rows of flowers in different colours were magnificient. They were tended to quite meticulously. But we weren’t the only ones here.All eyes came on us the moment we walked in. There was a shift in the air, s
Kaelen’s POV“We don’t want to kill George,” Riven said. “We have no personal issues with him, but what we are concerned about is you.”“I am okay with him around,” I said.“That’s not it, Kaelen. It’s not about you being okay, it’s your protection. If he is a protection or a threat and you know this.”We locked eyes for a second, but again, I stood by what I had already said. I don’t care what he has turned into. It wasn’t his choice and I”m sure it’ll be over soon enough. “Weeks ago, you passed out in the hallway. You woke up and tried to deny the fact that you were with him,” he said.“I never said—”“You didn’t need to lay it out for me, Kaelen. He was there, although I didn’t see him, hiding him, proves that he was.”“And that’s your theory, because I told you he wasn’t there means he is a danger to me?”He smiled, shaking his head. “It’s not a theory.
Kaelen’s POVMy head whipped to the side in shock followed by a small chuckle. I shook my head, not wanting to think too deep about it. “Is that surprising?” Nessa asked.“Not really,” I replied honestly.The Alpha Kings were considered the hottest guys in the kingdom, with the Alphas following behind them. I hadn’t noticed any maids visibly swooning over them but I could tell they could lose their spot in the palace if not their lives so they restrained themselves.“So any tips?”“I’m a general, Nessa. You call me that instead of my name, I thought you’ll remember that.”“But Mira told me you stay in the palace.”“Yes, because I needed shelter and they were somewhat close to my cousin.”“You should at least know if the rumours are true right?”“I can say they are ruthless. At least, that I can confirm.”Nessa clawed her fingers together as her
Kaelen’s POVThe dining table was lively. Maids moved around setting down the dishes while Alpha Mira, Nessa and Riven engaged in a conversation. There were a few other people at the table but I vaguely remembered their names.A maid spoke beside me. I was sure she had said the same thing more than once by the look on her face. “What do you want, my lady?”I forced a small smile.”Anything is fine.”I wasn’t in the mood for a meal but we were guests here, I couldn’t disrespect Alpha Mira by rejecting a meal. In all the activities around me, Father sat at the far end of the table.It’s been a full day since we got here and the effects of jasnite has yet to dispel. Not like I wanted it to. After asking that question last night, my brain played a cruel joke on me. It played just a piece to me of everything to me.He didn’t kill the rogue just as he arrived. I did. That was
Kaelen's POVAfter a quick bath and a change, I headed to the dining area, Hazel following closely behind me.“Your Majesties,” I bowed, with my head lowered. “Alphas,”Cassien nodded, gesturing for me to take a seat. Riven gave the signal for the maid
Cassien's POVWith my arms folded, I tapped my fingers lightly on my arm, watching as the blood drained from Sterling's face, staring at his cousin.He was overprotective of her.“Who knew there would be something interesting happening in our mansion today?” Riven
Kaelen's POVThe side of my lips curved up. “Scared?” Dean asked mockingly.“Why wouldn't she? She thought a little trick could win us over,” one of the soldiers mocked and every one chorused a laugh.I folded my fists by my side, reigning on my restra
Cassien's POVSterling has been moody from the moment he walked into the hall. Unusual for him. My brothers and I gave ourselves a knowing look before returning our attention to him.“It seems the general is upset by our presence,” Ashton said, taking a sip
