Chapter 86. The next morning, the day the investigations were supposed to commence, Daciana woke up with exhaustion in her eyes. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, yawning as she scanned her gaze around her room.For an odd reason, she still couldn't shake off this feeling that there was something rotten happening in this pack. There was some form of foul play and she couldn't help but hope that the culprit would finally be caught.At least, for Kellen's sake. Suddenly, just when Daciana sat up from bed and stretched out her arms, her phone began ringing, forcing her to dim her eyes before she turned her gaze to it. She picked it up and saw that it was an incoming call from Elena."Good morning, girl." Elena greeted but her voice didn't sound so cheery today. "So, it's the first day of the investigations. Did I disturb your sleep or...?"Daciana sighed but she weakly shook her head before glancing at the alarm clock beside her bed. The damn thing was supposed to wake
Chapter 87. Daciana was lost on what to do as she stared at Hailey, standing just outside her room silently with a smile on her bitchy face. The smile wasn't even sly or mischievous but just seemed... Genuine.But that couldn't be."What the heck do you want, Hailey?" Daciana asked, folding her arms in front of her chest. "I actually wanted to start this morning on a good note."Hailey blinked at her for a few seconds before she shook her head and chuckled, causing Daciana's frown to deepen. This girl was getting on her nerves..."Not even a 'good morning' greeting from you? Have things really become so bad between us?" Hailey asked, tilting her head curiously.What? She has to be joking... Right?"Things have been terrible between us since I arrived at this palace, Hailey. That's not even new." Daciana muttered with spite, eyeing Hailey before she shook her head. "Listen, if you don't have anything important to say then I–""Can I come in?" Hailey suddenly asked, causing Daciana's
Chapter 88. "Hailey did what?" Kellen asked with shock when Daciana came out of her room and met with him as they walked toward the room downstairs that was meant for the interrogations.Daciana nodded her head, still remembering all the details from her earlier encounter with Hailey. Even after the Beta's daughter left and she had her bath and freshened up, Daciana still felt weird. "Yeah, I was way more shocked than you are." Daciana sighed, brushing her right hand through her hair as they descended the stairs. "But I'm telling you, she came to my room to apologize and then hugged me after telling me that she wanted to make it up to me."Daciana glanced at Kellen who seemed speechless but at the same time seemed like he was deep in thought.However, at the end of the stairs on the ground floor, Alan stood there alongside Axel, both of them having curious expressions on their faces."Who apologized?" Axel asked Kellen and Daciana when they finally got downstairs and regrouped with
Chapter 89. Daciana's heart sank as she glanced at the triplets.They nodded their heads at her, giving her reassuring looks. As for Hailey, she gave her a thumbs up with a wry smile on her face, but that did nothing but increase Daciana's unease. Why was she even worried about the interrogations? All they'll do is ask her a few questions. It's not like they'll end up suspecting her for the Alpha king's murder when she didn't do it... Right?"Goddess, have mercy," Daciana muttered to herself as she stepped forward resolutely.She followed the guard to the interrogation room. She couldn't help but think about Hailey's last words and the implications they held. Was Hailey trying to imply that one of them was involved in the Alpha king's death?As she entered the interrogation room, which was a small room with a desk and a chair for her to sit on, Daciana saw two figures sitting across from her. One was a man in his early fifties with a stern expression, and the other was a woman in
Chapter 90."Pardon?" Daciana asked, arching an eyebrow.What did Wolfsbane have to do with her last question?The Gamma and Delta glanced at themselves, with the latter shaking her head before she jotted something down on her notepad.Daciana could swear to the gods that the dynamic between the two of them was pissing her off. What did she say now that the Delta found interesting enough to write?"Miss. Gavin, I was asking you about wolfsbane." The Gamma cleared his throat and said, folding his arms in front of his chest. "Even as a wolfless Omega, surely you must know a thing or two about it."Daciana clenched her jaw, balling her hands into fists.She has had enough."I don't think I appreciate your backhanded comments, sir," Daciana said calmly, not mincing her words.The Gamma scoffed, shaking his head before he leaned in closer, placing his arms in front of himself while staring at Daciana dead in her eyes. "And I don't think I appreciate your lack of cooperation." He blurted s
Chapter 91."What?!" Axel, Alan, and Hailey exclaimed after they heard the Gamma's rather harsh declaration.Meanwhile, Daciana stood silently, her breathing increasing as she tried to control it to no avail. This couldn't be happening. It just couldn't.Kellen killed the Alpha King?"There must be a misunderstanding here," Hailey muttered, stepping forward after glancing back at Kellen. "I can assure you, Gamma Thane, Kellen loved his father and didn't have a motive to kill him. Why would he go to any lengths to–""Oh, he had a motive all right." The Gamma interrupted before turning his gaze to Kellen. "Young man, this maid reports that you're the one she saw going into your father's chambers to serve him tea. Is that true?"Everyone turned their gazes to Kellen who just stood there silently, his fists clenched beside him.He seemed to be struggling to say something but hesitated. Finally, after he glanced at Daciana and noticed the expression on her face, he sighed heavily."Yes, I
Chapter 92. "Get away from her!"All eyes moved in the direction of the voice that seemed to boom around the palace.Daciana's eyes softened when she saw who it was. "Kellen." She whispered.Kellen walked out of the shadows in a corner, his facial expression plain. However, his piercing blue eyes were locked coldly on Beta Dax who tilted his head."Oh, good. You haven't escaped the palace yet." Beta Dax muttered, a mocking smile curling up his lips. "Why were you running away if you didn't kill the Alpha King, Kellen? It does nothing to help your cause or to prove your innocence. If you ask me, it actually–""Can you cut the crap and just let her go?" Kellen asked, sounding completely uninterested as he brought his wrists forward, gesturing for someone to handcuff him. Beta Dax dimmed his eyes at him first before he let go of Daciana who quickly stepped away from him, her eyes scrutinizing him with suspicion."Are you okay?" Alan asked just then, placing his right hand on her shoulde
Chapter 93.Sabrina led Daciana to her room where she sat on top of her bed.Her mother, Sabrina, sat beside her, placing both her hands on her shoulders and comforting her while Daciana sniffled."I need to go and see Kellen in the dungeons," Daciana remarked, nodding her head as she did. But before she could stand up or do anything rash, her mother held her arm, stopping her instantly."What you need to do, Daciana, is sleep. Rest." Sabrina said calmly even though she had a stern look in her eyes. Daciana was taken by surprise by her mother's sudden sternness until the poor woman sighed heavily and placed both her hands on her forehead."This is all my fault." Sabrina lamented, shaking her head with despondency behind her voice. "If... If I had just forced you to reject the triplets when you found out they were your mates, maybe you wouldn't have to go through... To go through all–""Mother?" Daciana arched an eyebrow, shaking her head before she sat down on her bed again, giving
Chapter 120. The next morning, Daciana woke up feeling more well-rested than usual, causing her lips to curl up into a smile as she sat up and stretched out her arms. She glanced at her left side and saw Axel sleeping soundly while facing the ceiling, his chest rising and falling with each breath.As for Kellen, the new Alpha King slept on her right side and had his left arm lazily wrapped around her body while he lay on the bed with his chest."Good morning, mates," Daciana whispered with a warm smile even though they were both still sound asleep and probably couldn't even hear her. She kissed both of them on their cheeks, watching their faces light up with smiles even in their sleep, although they stirred a bit.Daciana didn't bother trying to wake them, knowing that they were both exhausted after everything that had happened in the past few weeks or so.Anyway, she stepped out of bed while still naked and was about to head to the bathroom when suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist,
Chapter 119. (Warning: Mature Content Ahead)Daciana fell onto the bed, a small gasp escaping her lips as she watched both Kellen and Axel taking off their clothes. She bit her bottom lip, her arousal shooting through the roof when she caught sight of their bare chests, causing her to chuckle softly. "Gosh, it really has been a while." She remarked as they proceeded to take off their pants as well until they wore nothing but underwear which barely held back their bulging dicks.Kellen was the first to go down on her, squatting on the ground as he pulled off her panties, revealing her pussy to them.He subconsciously licked his lips before he proceeded to lower his head to her entrance and began using his tongue to flick her entrance until she let out a soft moan.She gripped the sheets, overflowing with ecstasy, as Axel climbed onto the bed and then knelt beside her. His hands went to her breasts which he slowly fondled at first until he brought his mouth to it after taking off her
Chapter 118.(Warning: Mature Content Ahead)When Daciana was done eating, she was the first to leave and retire to her bedroom. However, when she opened the door and stepped in, turning on the light, a slight smirk curled up her lips as she slowly began walking toward her bed while taking off her clothes.She brushed her hair, loosening the tresses which it was braided into before she let it fall until it reached the small of her back.Just when Daciana had taken off her clothing, leaving only her bra and underwear, a knock sounded on her room door, causing her to smirk slyly."Come in..." She blurted, adjusting her bra and then parting aside some strands of her hair.However, when the door swung open, Daciana's eyes widened when she saw who it was. "D– Delta..." She said in a panic, using her arms to cover her chest as the older woman walked into the room with an awkward look on her face.The Delta's lips parted with realization and then embarrassment as she shook her head before
Chapter 117. At the end of the day, Alan was successfully sent out of the pack while Hailey and her father were locked up in the dungeons until further punishment could be given to them if needed. However, despite all that, Daciana couldn't help herself from feeling uneasy about one particular detail. "Don't you think banishing Alan was a bad idea?" She asked Kellen when they all had dinner at the dining table. She, Kellen, and Axel were the only ones at the table since Elena and Sabrina had finally left the palace. Sabrina was still receiving treatment from the pack doctors since the bullet she had been shot with by the Beta was silver-coated and had intoxicated her system.But she was slowly recovering so Daciana didn't worry herself much about her and entrusted her to the pack doctors.As for Elena, her parents finally got her to come back home, telling her to give Daciana and her mates space. Daciana honestly didn't mind that idea...Anyway, back to her question, Kellen dran
Chapter 116."And that's why, I, Daciana Gavin, reject you as my mate forever!"As soon as Daciana said those words, the audience released shocked gasps and murmurs as they watched Alan fall to the ground and begin shaking erratically as if he was convulsing.He held his chest tight, struggling for basic breath as he tried looking up at Daciana and his brothers. But Daciana only watched him with cold eyes, every ounce of sympathy she once felt dissipating and melting away alongside the all-binding mate bond. She's always known that she was the only one who could reject Alan and his brothers as easily as this but she's never thought of doing it after they started getting close. Why should she? Everything had been going great, and she would've never suspected that Alan, of all people, would be capable of committing all the atrocities that he did. Daciana balled her hands into fists, watching as Alan began moving his right hand forward, trying to grasp her ankle as he shook from the
Chapter 115. As Kellen and Alan clashed in their wolf forms, the hall erupted into chaos as the civilians attempted to flee.However, the exits were closed, forcing the people sitting in the front rows close to the stage to go to higher grounds, all to avoid the fight.Meanwhile, Daciana watched in horror as two of her mates, two brothers, fought. It was amazing how the three of them all looked alike in their human form but were entirely different as wolves.Kellen's fur was white as snow and flowed like clouds around him. Alan, in contrast, had pitch-black fur enveloping his body like night encroaching on the sky."Daci, get out of there!" Elena yelled out from below the stage where she and the pack doctors were tending to Sabrina.At that same moment, Alan managed to gain the upper hand and head-butted Kellen directly to the Beta's seat. "Goddess, have mercy!" The Beta exclaimed as he grabbed his daughter and ran out of the way, narrowly escaping Kellen crashing into his table."K
Chapter 114. "I'm here to prove once and for all that Kellen Ryker is innocent!" As soon as Daciana said those words and the audience gasped with shock, Alan got on his feet, staring directly at her. "Daciana, stop whatever you think this is and drop the microphone." He warned, a growl leaving his mouth.But Daciana was unshaken as she stared right back at him before speaking to him through the microphone."Why? You're afraid that the whole pack will find out the kind of manipulative, scheming fraud you are?" She asked with spite in her voice, causing Alan to clench his jaw and causing the crowd to murmur in shock and disbelief."She speaks ill against the new Alpha King!" Someone from the audience yelled out just then.Another one added soon after. "Is that even allowed? She's merely an Omega after all.""Yes, but she's also his mate.""What sort of image does it paint for him if his mate can confront him like this?"Daciana could feel the people losing hope in Alan rapidly and th
Chapter 113. Finally, the day that Daciana had been dreading all this while arrived.The day of Kellen's execution.It was going to be made public and almost everyone in the pack was going to be attending. The rest who couldn't were those who couldn't stomach seeing his death.As for Daciana, she still had to attend as the new Alpha King's mate... Not as if she didn't want to attend anyway.She was in her room, with Elena and a maid helping her to make her hair into tresses."I was going to ask if you're okay but I figured that the answer to that question is no." Elena suddenly muttered awkwardly, gesturing at the maid to leave the room when she was done.When the maid closed the door on them, Daciana sighed heavily and turned her gaze to Elena."And you're right, Elena. I'm not okay." Daciana blurted, her jaw clenching just then. It was early in the afternoon, but she hadn't had breakfast, nor had she had dinner last night.Her mother had been worried sick and tried her best to ge
Chapter 112. The next day, Daciana and Axel decided to visit Kellen together so they could inform him of the recent developments and come up with a plan. When they got to the dungeons and told him everything, Kellen's face went pale with shock."Alan did what?!" Kellen yelled out, his mouth wide open as his gaze went from Daciana to Axel.Daciana nodded her head solemnly, her jaw clenched. "Yeah, he's been colluding with Hailey and her father all this time. The most annoying part is the fact that he's also been frolicking with the bitch."She balled her hands into fists when she remembered the conversation between Hailey and Alan that she had luckily recorded.Her nightmares last night were filled with the images of Alan and Hailey making out and laughing at her as she cried and pleaded for them to stop. She couldn't continue like this..."Daci, I'm... I'm so sorry." Kellen said with a low tone, stepping forward and attempting to stretch his hands through the space of the silver ba
