-Audrey's POV-As soon as my eyes fluttered open, the first thing I could remember was seeing Shantel wearing a devilish smile on her face and staring at me from across the hallway.It gave me the creeps to think that she could do anything and I couldn’t help but think about what she might want again this time. I have been bothered about her, and also been bothered about myself too; and also couldn’t shake out the strangeness I felt thinking about all these. I wriggled my body oddly while still lying atop the bed and couldn’t help but notice how strangely energized I was.I remember feeling extremely weak only a few hours ago, but right now I could feel an odd power sizzling through my veins in very high currents, it almost seemed as though it was about to envelop me.With only thoughts of continuing my training session with Adler, I jumped off the bed, wrapped the flimsy hospital dress around my body and decided to go look for Adler.I needed to harness the strange strength, and m

-Audrey POV-"I'm pregnant, King Kaden," Shantel’s words kept ringing over and over in my ears as I held onto my chest tight as if in a bid to rein in the sudden pain I could feel there. How could she be pregnant for him? This cannot be true! In my baffled state, I turned to look over at Kaden who also bore a shocked expression that showed that he was not also expecting a news as huge as this… especially not from Shantel.I could hear his incessant pacing behind me and his low grunts as he walked around but also didn’t miss the cocky smile Shantel had on her face as she looked between the both of us.To my utter dismay, Kaden didn't say anything to disprove it; he didn't even utter a word and it felt as though I was left alone to battle with this heartbreak on my own."Liar! You lie! Shantel. Do you think I do not know what you are trying to do?" I forced out these words from my mouth but she only laughed at me.Her cockiness, and the smug way she stared at me all pulled me to the c

Kaden's POVI feel uneasy and worried about the whole thing happening. Erik rubbed his jaw and took a seat in front of me, while I was struggling with making a decision, Erik was doing something else.Shantel had already left my office as if she was not giving me any choice. The only thing she wanted was for me to get married to her which was something quite impossible."I see…you got Shantel pregnant," Erik informed me and I let out a sigh."How did you know that?" I asked."The walls have ears, you know. Were you thinking of keeping it a secret? Come on, brother," he teased me. I didn't find what he said funny but I was curious to know what he had to say."If you are here to make fun of my predicament, I will suggest you leave. I need some alone time," I said to him and he chuckled lightly. His eyes went to the bottles of wine resting in the wine wine rack and I squeezed myself. I didn’t want to have to share drinks, especially not with someone like him."Snap out of that. That is

-Kaden POV-The world was spinning in front of me and I could feel my heart palpitating in a way it has never done before. Like a horror movie, everything was playing out as if it was planned before, slow and edgy like there was something bad about to happen.The fact that I still do not know about Audrey’s whereabouts made me sick to the bone.. and angry because now I do not know where to go searching anymore.I searched the whole palace frantically, looking for her and panicking when I still couldn’t find any signs of her anywhere.With new found fear in my heart, I walked over to a few of my employees that had clustered around a spot and yelled over their voices;"Attention, everyone. Listen to what I have to say carefully," I addressed the palace guards and they stood looking at me, paying rapt attention. No one could dare make a noise. If a pin was dropped on the floor, one would hear it.“Audrey is missing! Y’all know who Audrey is right?!” I bellowed and their jumbled up repl

-Kaden POV-The environment was tense as I watched as the pack doctor quietly attended to Shantel who was barely breathing as it is. She looked pale, and almost dead but I said nothing as I folded my arms around my chest while my mind wandered around. I didn’t need to say something as negative as that."I found traces of poison in her blood," he revealed and I gasped. “So now it is obvious that she was poisoned…”“And from the test results carried out on her, she was also overdosed with meth,” he added, making me gasp.Who the hell did all these?"Poison and meth? How's that even possible?" I asked. This was too much. How would Shantel decide to take poison? Was she high?“I feel she was overdosed with meth to make her seem high and then the poison…” Adler said and I watched the doctor nod his head slowly. That was probably the way it also stemmed from his results."She had been forcefully made to ingest a poisonous substance which had led to a miscarriage," he added, showing me a p
