Christian linked his cousin after glancing at the infuriated Mrs Whitlaw, ‘Looks like things are going to get interesting from here, cuz. Someone seems to be hiding a mistress, and the wife looks pissed.’
‘I did not see that coming.’ Xandar linked in response as his surprised eyes met those of his second-in-command.
Christian linked in excitement, ‘Tell me about it! I can’t believe I was a background character of a Whitlaw soap opera that I didn’t know about!’
Xandar raised his eyebrows as he linked, ‘Background character? Christian, we’re probably the antagonists in his story.’
‘Hm.’ Christian contemplated for a moment and had to ag
What would your verdict be? Imprisonment, death or something else?
Christian complained, “With that whole line of bullsh*t answers and he needs to wait until after lunch to reach a verdict? I bet Russell could decide faster.” Annie glared at her husband and said in a stern, hushed tone, “Tone down, Christian.” The Duke’s temperament cooled to a point where a small smile graced his features as he lifted one of Annie’s hands to plant a kiss on it. Then, he whispered, “As you wish, my Duchess.” Lucianne’s eyes shone when she whispered to Xandar like an excited child, “Look at them, they’re so cute. It’s like getting a front row seat to a romantic movie.” Her body subconsciously leaned into her mate’s, and her adorable demeanor was so irresistible that it made Xandar crave to h
After delivering the verdict, Judge Cook stood, exchanged bows with the attendees, and left the courtroom. The prosecutor then informed the royal family that her team was not done with the ministers yet because they could now charge all of them for perjury when they chose to lie on the stand, which would commit them to another seven years in prison and a fine of a few thousand dollars.They were also going to charge Belle Price for helping Marie Martin fabricate evidence so that the public would be well aware of the consequences of going against the law.The cousins were controlling their excitement and elation with the verdict and the further charges against the ministers as they left the courtroom with their mates. When they reached the parking lot with less of a crowd, Christian was so ecstatic that he pulled Annie into a kiss.
Greg surveyed the mansion on his first day when the head servant gave him a tour to make sure he knew his way around. In secret, he took mental notes on the locations he could use to place the hidden recording devices that he hid in his slightly oversized shoes when he left his apartment.So, thanks to the device near the fireplace, the Duke heard the whole conversation between the mother and daughter. His animal growled at the mention of demolishing Blue Crescent as the Kylton’s ‘contingency plan’, and Greg thanked Goddess that he was alone in his dark room pretending to be asleep when he eavesdropped.But he had a good laugh with his animal when Kelissa said that she wasn’t stupid. She couldn’t even keep him under her reins. Her chauffeur didn’t even check his shoes for the recording device
Greg was genuinely shocked at the old couple’s revelation but the Duke nonetheless shook Lord Kylton’s hand as he told his animal, “Please tell me he’s joking.” His animal prompted him to keep the conversation going with Lord Kylton to learn more about what they didn’t know.Greg narrowed his eyes in suspicion and asked the old man, “What’s the customer code I have to cite in transactions?”His Lordship seemed impressed and said, “Good thing I checked that this morning. 130996GC_LC. Access name: Chameleon. But I'll admit right now that we've never spoken over the phone in your transactions, your Grace. We have our customers' personal information but the uh...rogue Alpha handles the communications and customers'...requests."
“You’re really difficult to impress, aren’t you, your Grace?” Lord Kylton noted in amusement before he uttered, “But I’m happy to say that bankrupting the government wasn’t the end. In fact, it was the beginning of the end. Knowing Xandar and Christian, we gathered that they would transfer the monarchy’s funds to sustain the government if the government funds were emptied. So, the end goal was to wait until both those funds dried up. And when the King and his second-in-command have nowhere else to turn for money, our family would make a sudden appearance to…”“Offer financial support.” Greg muttered when he caught up, and he continued, “In exchange, you’d demand that the King take your daughter’s hand in marriage.”“Bravo, your Grac
On the training ground, the unshifted audience gathered around the sparring space where the Lycan King and their future Queen’s striped-tail wolf was about to spar. Christian brought a bag of chips this time, which he shared with Toby, who promised to bring the snacks in the next round.Xandar and Lucianne’s animals sparred once by the river on their morning run. Lucianne beat Xandar but it wasn’t as easy as beating his human part. His animal’s strength made him almost immune to any force Lucianne’s wolf tried to exert on it, and its speed made it difficult for Lucianne to dodge his attacks and escape his grip.She only won because she knew a Lycan’s weak spots and went for those. Xandar’s Lycan was so excited with her victory that it nuzzled her whole body after it recovered from her a
Everyone trained extra hard after Zeke declared that they may be heading for the rogue headquarters soon.A few wolves from the Faint Moon Pack noticed three men sneaking through the thick forest behind their pack, and when the three reached the coastline, they alighted a motorboat and took it all the way to an island that was probably about three miles off coast.The wolves from Faint Moon went to the area where the men alighted the boat, and confirmed that their scent was that of a rogue’s. What scared them was the fact that at least one of the rogues was a Lycan.Lucianne was trying to hack into Jake’s mind-link more often than before now. She couldn’t get anything in the past few days to the point where she wondered if Jake even used his mind-link
“Under different circumstances, I would be taking a lot of pictures and flaunting it in our chat groups, Lucy.” Toby said flatly as his eyes took in the interior of the private jet he was given as a minister. “Regardless of where we have to go with this thing now, this is actually really nice.”Lucianne was there to see them off before they landed in an opened space not far away from Faint Moon. She looked at the interior, which wasn’t very much different from Xandar’s jet when her best friend said, “I still can’t believe I’m getting a jet.” There was a cheeky glint in his eye when he added, “Where’s yours, Lucy? Do you even have one?”She narrowed her eyes at Toby as the nervous police force got into their seats, clearly afraid of the Queen after they hear
