Koko's POV“I never knew that you were such a scary bitch, Scarlett, so you would go that far?" I said, looking irritated."Go to hell bitch." She spatThe judging council had been disbanded, so both Henry and Scarlett had been released from their cells and given good clothes and food. Also, a huge amount of money had been arranged for both of them.Of course, we had guards at their sides in case they tried anything else.We were in the throne room and Niyol had told his gamma to remain with his mate until they brought the baby back because he doubted that he would be able to resist the urge to break Scarlett and Henry like broomsticks. However Chester was here as well.I did not respond to Scarlett's provocations at me, she was nothing but a mad woman that was being held by her grave wickedness, lack of empathy and satisfaction.Henry was not talking at all. I couldn't believe that somewhere in the corner of my heart, I had considered letting them live, but then any consideration for

Julianna's POV“Do you feel like backing out?" I asked him, leaning back on a tree and looking into his eyes. He looked back into mine and shook his head."No, this is the closest that I'll get to redeeming myself. I'm not going to throw this opportunity away..."His fingers clenched into a trembling fist and I walked over to him placing my own fingers in his until both of them entangled."Whatever happens from here, just know that I'm on your side.. Chester..." He nodded."I know that I don't deserve you Julianna, but thank you, thank you for sticking by me, even though I've been an idiot lately."I smiled as the dim glow of the moonlight above our heads somehow made this moment a little bit deeper and then his hands came over to my waist and pulled me to himself. Just then, we heard the sound of a car engine and we both took heavy breaths."It's them..." I whispered into his ear and he nodded.Holding my hand, we ran into one of the bushes, as the car that was carrying both Henry an

Koko's POV"What do you mean by I should sit this one out?"I asked my mate, placing my hands on my hips and looking straight at him, with a questioning expression on my face. He was also at the gate of the palace with warriors behind us and rushing.“Don't you believe in me at all?” I asked him, but he was not even looking at me and was headed straight like an arrow and finally I could not take it anymore. I grabbed him by his hand."Give me one good reason why I should sit this out? I just want to come along and see if there's anything I can do at all."Then suddenly he pulled me over to his chest. He did it gently and told the warriors to keep going ahead and that he will catch up with them soon.“Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm underestimating you, but right now you are pregnant and it's not good for you to be stressed out like this, and that seems to be the only thing that's happening right now.So what you need to do is to go to sleep... Think about the baby and get

Koko's POVIt had already been 3 days since they started the search for Chester, but, there was still no trace of him. I spent those long three torturous days tossing, turning and pacing around the bed chamber.It felt so surreal, as if I was in a dream, a dream that I refused to wake up from and had melted into my reality.The Queen mother was there for me, as well as Laci, they tried to distract me with small talk and other things, but I was not really there with them, my mind was with my mate and so was my heart.Even though the time I spent with Chester was not that long, at least it wasn't long at all compared to how long my mate had spent with him, I could tell that he was a good man that meant a lot to my mate and losing him would be even more horrible and heart-wrenching than losing his right arm and the thought of that made sleep almost impossible for me.I was only able to blink my eyes a couple of times and before I knew it, it was already morning again, but somehow their s

Laci's POV"Honey, do you think we can talk?"My eyes were carried from my baby in his crib over to my mate that stood at the door of the room. I nodded."Of course, we can talk dear, but about what exactly? You sound like you have so much in your mind and I'm not surprised..."He came over to me, wrapping his hands around my waist, and then planting a kiss on my neck. I shivered a little bit, then managed to keep my composure as I spoke with him."So which one is it that you want to begin with?"I asked him, and for a while the only response he had to that was resting his chin on my shoulder and letting out heavy sighs."Laci, I don't want to be Beta of this Kingdom..."I absorbed his words as my eyes fell down to my baby again sleeping so peacefully in his crib that it melted my heart, as I thought about his questions, well it wasn't really a question but rather a statement.It had been over a week since my brother returned with the news that his beta was dead and so according to th
