LOGINVERALINHis sister-in-law. Roseline.She didn't bow to the elders. She bowed to no one. One would say it was because she was indirectly the one who controlled the whole wolverine society consistently of seven packs.Every eyes swept the room until they settled on xaden.“xaden,” she purred. “You’re late.” Drelia inhaled as she stood up and ran to her like sisters.She hugged her tight. "Thank you for coming, Luna Roseline. For justice.” My stomach churned as I've been surrounded by traitors.Roseline terminated the embrace as she walked towards the center of the room and stopped in front of me.She looked me up and down. Her eyes scruntized me.“Still wearing his blood,” she tsked. “How theatrical. Just like an omega.”Xaden She turned to the elders. Voice sweet. Poisoned. “Laws have no favours, Honoured Voss. No favours for criminals. No favours for curses. No favours for women who kill what they cannot have.” Xaden squinted his eyes, jutting his chin as his hands were into a
VERALINI still wore the bloody dress and sat the exact way I was at the hospital: shoulders curled, breaking my nails, eyes darting to my bare feet.Thinking was a part of me now but this footsteps that stopped outside the door had my head tilting up to look.It was a guard with gruttal look."The enforcer's here"My chest burns as I swallowed. Did his friend really bring him here as promised?My wolf jerked awake, whimpered and she was no longer hiding and I went breathless.I dragged my feet outside as soon as the bar door opened, followed the guard to the interrogation room.Each step felt one second closer to execution. I didn't trust that xaden can do anything.“You want to see your victim first before killing them?” I muttered immediately I reached.In here, there was just a metal table, one bulb, no window. His back was to me.Those broad shoulders, perm hair and always in a black long coat like a soul reaper.“You should run that same mouth at your family,” he snapped without
XADENI was sure my fingers would bleed from too much signatures on PACTS and ALLIANCES.My eyes were red like they'd go blind. My ears were sure to bleed from seven's calls and switching off the phone was the best.Besides, I worked with schedules and it was quite absurd for him to call by this time.Barely do I know what was happening outside as I've been stuck in the study room.Adding to my predicaments, my wolf was just restless, cussing and pouting."Did you really kill him?" "What happens to veralin?"I remembered silencing him throughout the night so he didn't really witness what happened.Well I don't even want to talk about it and so I'd ignore every question anyone have for me regarding Urei if I actually murdered him.I'd almost responded but then a soft knock drew my eyes to the door.Kieran.He was embracing a toy, with his nanny behind him and a bodyguard."Hey Uncle xaden"I whipped my head at him with soft eyes like he had come to rescue me from the cell his mom trappe
VERALIN"Point three," Cade stood upright now like some detective ready to cast his blame.But he looked tired, like this hurt him."Urei was about to sign over the second clause to you tonight. Wedding talks and maybe palace talk."Silence hits me harder than I expected.His eyes met mine and his gaze was quite devious "He dies, the clause dies. You keep the throne without proving anything. No consort. No thirty days."I felt like I was punched based on his analysis. How does this even make any sense when he literally proposed to me?I did come for the clause. I did need him alive."Point four," Stepmom leaned in, her breath hot on my face. "You hated him. He rejected you once in the early hours at your place. You think I forgot? Now he proposes and you can't control him? So you silenced him.""I didn't!" I screamed and it echoed. My eyes shone mauve for once in a long time.Doctors turned and nurses stared. Cade sighed as he looked at the security still standing side by side me, re
VERALINI'd pulled out from the door, encouraging myself that he was the past now.Besides, I had a goal which was to see Urei for the second clause of the will, talk about our wedding and maybe there, I'd gain my sanity.Soon, he'd move to the palace with me and I'm excited and cranky at the same time.After freshening up, I was out to head for his exquisite suite. The ride felt rather slow like the chauffeur was scared of losing me if he drives faster.An instruction given to him by Urei perhaps. But nevertheless, we finally reached as stayed behind at the parking lot waiting even though I told him Urei would bring me home.He'd prefer to stalk Urei and I in a car than have his head off for daring to abandon me.With a smile that doesn't reach my eyes, I stared at the ring in my index finger, a hope that have kept me breathing properly since the crown was given to me.I was at his door now as I rang the bell to hear a response. And after several trials that felt like a musical note p
VERALINI didn’t even let him take a step in before I obstructed his path. The sight of him only makes me furious. Three years gone, and he thinks he can waltz back with a sob story and a soft voice?That's exactly what it looks like and I could feel it."You don't have any rights to come here," I snapped placing my back to the doorframe with arms crossed.I smelt the old lies on him.He heaved a sigh, placed a palm on his chest like he was the wounded one. The audacity made my teeth ache. "Veralin, you can't cut me off all because a misunderstanding. You should understand. I was desperate. Stupid. My family forced my hand. You know how packs are.""Refer to me properly!" He fluttered his eyes like I just hit him unexpectedly."Lady Veralin," he corrected, dragging the title out slow. "You're getting married to Urei? Do you think he's any better than me? He’s an enforcer, Veralin. He solves problems with blood. He’ll use you for your inheritance and discard you when the thirty da
XADENLike the TV knew when to come to life, I knew it was seven's doing as he always left it on a time just to piss me off.Then the screen flashed bright. The national pack channel pops up with.BREAKING: UREI ELDORAN PROPOSES TO NEW HEIRESS ON LIVE TV.My blood dried instantly and the footage ro
XADENThe argument started in the war room, where it always did.I'd wore a smug face, like everything doesn't matter, it was better than painting the room red again.I twirled the glass of wine in my hand, barely drank from it, my head void of thoughts.“You’re drunk,” Roseline chipped in.My sist
VERALINThe word didn’t make sense at first.Heiress? I mean the next alpha was me?Laughter died as the crowd shifted like a single entity, moving towards my direction.Confusion and anger were written on most of their faces.Even the sky turned heavy like a storm was about to break."What?"My vo
VERALIN I wore a white dress to a grave. Held a red rose for a man who spent 18 years making sure I knew I wasn't his daughter.Everyone here looked like they were waiting for a sign to draw blood. My blood.Their eyes didn't hide it. They watched me like a hawk watching its prey and I wasn't welc
