**GWEN**"The King had entered into an ambush," Tyler said to me in a thick concerned voice, his face passive in the dim light.My mouth fell open in dismay, taking a step back with my hand to my stomach which seemed to have knotted, combined with the tightened corset. I forgot to breathe for a second. "H-how did it happen?" I was on him again, taking his left hand. "I need to see my husband.""Hey." He replaced by hands with his, tugging me gently. "You need to focus on the present. He would be fine. The former Queen just arrived at the area and I had to come because I knew you would need someone here with you.""Tyler!" My voice chugged with tears. The corners of my eyes were starting to sting from tears, the guests in the ballroom, totally forgotten. "Would he be okay?""He would be fine. He is the Lycan King.""I-I caused this." Was all I could think. My eyes skated about with a blank mind. I felt like I could do something but then I didn't know what. "I shouldn't have invited the

**GWEN**It has been three days since the ball and since Williams was found dead. The pack had been serene with everyone silently mourning the loss of their beloved Beta. No one said it, but ssomehow, everywhere I went it seemed the news of my involvement in bringing in other creatures into the Kingdom had spread like wildfire and everyone now looked at me in a certain way that despite not saying it to my face, I knew they the hate they harbored for me from the onset was now full-fledged, if not worse.I killed their Beta. I brought evil into the pack and nearly killed their King.It was there in their eyes and they didn't need to tell me. I just knew. These days leaving my room was a herculean task I thought profoundly about hence I left.Albeit, I had to. I needed to be in certain places at certain times; the temple, visitation-even if they shut their doors on me once they heard of my arrival. And Abby, she hadn't looked my way nor spoken to me since then. I killed her mate.As I st

**GWEN**When they walked into the room, I was not expecting them, and from the confounded looks on the faces of Tyler and Abby, it was obvious they were of the same mindset."Don't waste my bloody time, Abigail," Charlotte sneered, her eyes like a furnace burning into Abby who shivered beside me. I was shaken as well. What was going on? Could it be that Ashton had informed her about Abby being mated to Tyler and the older woman was not in agreement?My eyes skidded from mother to son and back. I shifted on the bed and Abby followed suit. I could literally hear her heartbeat."Mother...""Only the truth," Charlotte was not giving room for clearer reflection. "I-I don't understand what truth you seek for, Mother. I am mourning the death of my friend!" I took notice of the defense in her voice as she lurched her shoulder forward, returning the same fire to her mother.Charlotte stood, left hand going to her waist and the other to her face. In exasperation. "I can't believe you would st

(Undergoing editing!)**GWEN**I was almost asleep when I heard a loud knock in the door which yanked me back to reality to shoot up from the bed and stared foggily at the door. The knock cane again, this time louder.Argh! I sat up, recalling I had locked the door earlier on. Who coudk it be knocking by this time of the day? Ig was too early. I unlocked the locks, my eyes still heavy with sleep I just need to know who it was wi as to tell them to return later when I was vehement enough. As the door sighed open, Kora stood there, fiddling with her fingers and at a closer look, she was shifdering on her feet like she was emburdened with something severe. "What is it?" I drawled, my finger going up to the front of my hair to nib at a distressing piny."Uour jighness!" She bowed. "The Princess has gone missing."I continued gaping at her. Was that why she was...wait, Abby had left the palace?!My eyes were wife open at once, my feet impulsiveky going forth. "What do you mean? She was i

(Undergoing editing)**ASHTON**Things seemed to be getting tougher every day that it was starting to get to me. First was my unexpected attack, the death if my Beta and now my sister had gone missing. And each of then was a direct consequence of one severe mistake; the ball invitation. As I made my way out of my study and walked towards the general conference room for an early meeting I had for the day, my heart couldn't help but be heavier as it occurred to me that I didn't need to be in this meeting by this time or in a hurry to get there is Will were to be alive. He had his way around these things. He would have presided in them on my behalf or even kill I was ready to go."My Kjng is you are not ready to go, I can tell them to reschedule," Merit said beside me, her hefty gait matching.For now, since my Beta was not around, she would have to be by my side almost all the time until I had gotten another Beta. And the issue was that I didn't even know who I am to appoint my new Bet
