LOGINAlpha Kingsley POV Her hands stopped moving immediately. For a moment, she simply just stared at me and then she slowly turned her head else where. “I don’t understand what you mean” she replied trying to feign ignorance. “Kate.” I kept my voice level, though my patience was thinning by the second. “Did Andrew met with you before the moon banquet? I asked my gaze fixed on her trying to capture all her expression. “Ye…ah.” “Yes….” She stammered. “Andrew is my brother and so he comes to spend time with me” she replied but I noticed her voice was a bit shaky and stammering. “So what did he tell you? I questioned. “Nothing serious. Just routine checks on my well being and you know all the gossips going on in the pack about us- me and you being an item” she spoke. “ he was a bit worried about me”. “But don’t worry I didn’t bad mouth you in front him” she smiled trying to loosen the tension but was doing a bad job at it as i could still sense her uneasiness. “Is that all y
Alpha Kingsley POVI had barely taken two steps toward the door when Maria's voice stopped me again."Alpha."I turned around. She was still standing beside Andrew's bed, staring at him."What is it?"Maria hesitated. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket covering Andrew."I remembered something else."My attention immediately sharpened. "What?"She looked at me, then back at Andrew. "It was something Andrew said that morning.""What did he say?""I didn't think much of it at the time." Maria swallowed. "But now… now I think it might be important.""Tell me."She took a deep breath. "When I asked him where he had been the previous night, he didn't answer me directly at first.""What did he say?""He just looked at me and asked…" She stopped."What?"Maria's eyes met mine. "He asked me if I trusted him."My brows furrowed. "That was all?""No." She shook her head. "There was something else.""What?""He told me that if anything happened to him, I should never believe wha
Alpha Kingsley POVI stopped dead in my tracks and turned back to face her immediately.“What did you remember?” I asked her.“Like I said before, Andrew has been fixated on investigating Darius even before his death,” she said.“Okay.”“Go on,” I urged her.“He had been monitoring and searching for people Darius met and interacted with for some time now. Although he never mentioned any vital findings to me, nor am I aware if he discovered anything wrong because, like you already know, my mate likes to keep things to himself and doesn’t like involving me in the pack business—not that I cared or minded.”“I’m already occupied with the children and have little time to poke my nose into his business.”“Get straight to the point, Maria,” I replied impatiently.“Okay.” She nodded.“Two days before you guys left for the Moon Banquet, he mentioned that he got a clue regarding Darius’s case and needed to see Kate immediately.”“I asked him to leave it until tomorrow because it was already lat
Alpha Kingsley POVI didn’t want her to know or find out this way about Andrew’s condition.What do I tell her?How do I bring myself to say it?“Your husband was caught lying half-dead inside the secret vault of the Moon Temple.”Or no.“Your husband is suspected to be a traitor—a spy for the Evil God Organization.”That would definitely break her.This was honestly much harder and more difficult than fighting against a group of bandits or even an army of Evil God envoys.“What happened to him?” Maria asked, tears slipping down her face.Her words were barely audible, and she was shaking.Practically trembling from fright and fear of the unknown.“Fuck you, Kate,” I cursed in my mind, clenching my teeth.I could already guess that she had informed Maria of the situation and where to find me.Apart from her, the others who returned with me had been warned against disclosing Andrew’s state until a full investigation was done.I trusted them not to breathe a word, except that bitch Kate
Alpha Kingsley POVOn getting back to the pack, I immediately ordered the healer to attend to Andrew.For some strange reason, he wasn’t healing properly like a werewolf, and that was giving me serious concerns.“What has happened to my brother?” Kate ran towards me after getting down from the chariot.“Why is he in chains?” she asked.“What did that witch do to him?” she screamed like a mad woman, pointing at me.“Enough.” I shut her down.“Never you call her names again,” I warned, a groan escaping my throat.“Let me out,” Argon demanded, but I ignored him.I couldn’t risk another unrest in the pack, not when my beta was in this condition and was a suspect for treason.“My brother was fine before, and now you have him chained and he’s in this bad condition,” she screamed.“Are you going to get rid of your beta for her sake?”My whole insides were already boiling with anger, and I was already on the edge of losing it.“One more word and you will regret it” i warned.I signaled the gu
Olivia POVWind rushed through my lungs.Water flowed through my veins.Earth settled deep within my bones.And fire exploded inside my chest.I wanted to scream but held it all in, gnashing my teeth together.“Olivia!”Karl tried to move toward the formation.A powerful force threw him backward.“Karl!” I shouted, hoping he wasn’t hurt.“I’m fine!” he yelled from the ground.The pain inside me intensified.I dropped to one knee, barely able to remain calm.My hands pressed against my chest.I could barely breathe.Lucy finally stirred inside my mind.“Olivia.”Her voice sounded serious.Almost frightened.“What?” I asked.“Don’t fight it. Feel it and try to communicate with it, allowing it to move freely within you.”I clenched my teeth.“I’m trying.”“Yes, you are,” she replied.“Just steady your breath and try to ignore the pain,” she encouraged.I nodded.Lucy was right.My instinct was already telling me to push the power away.To regain control.To make it stop.To stop the pain
