Chapter 69:Axel’s POV“Argh!” I screamed, using the reserves of my strength to try and push off the net but Willow’s evil cackle was a painful reminder of my failure.She threw her head back and held her stomach as she laughed. “I wish Talon was here to see what I have reduced his dear son to…”“By the time Greg gets here, I would tear-”“Oh please shut it!” she hissed, cutting off my pathetic threats. “Fergus why don’t you explain to him exactly what is happening to his dear Greg as we speak,” she said, waving her long clothed arm dramatically towards Fergus who had been observing with a smug satisfactory grin on his lips.He came closer and just like Willow, he lowered himself so that our faces were at the same level as he spoke to me.“Let's see, where should I begin,” he whispered with a finger on his jawline as he thought it through. “Here is our plan… we had hoped that you would be lured into our little cave by your dear Aaliyah…”My eyes expanded at his words as it suddenly oc

Chapter 71:Axel’s POVI looked down the cliff hoping to see a glimpse of Willow but there was absolutely no sign of her. My wolf was enraged. This type of death was not right for her.She deserved to be killed by mutilation at least and I was determined to make it a befitting one.I tightened my fists and turned away from the cliff aiming to go down the bottom to find her. But I didn’t make it far as my path was blocked by Greg and some of my men.“Axel!” Greg exclaimed as soon as he saw me. He ran up to where I was and wrapped his arms around me. “Oh, may the goddess be praised, I thought they got you…” he whispered.I wanted to push him away as I was still very much interested in chasing after Willow, even if her corpse was all that was left but I couldn’t. This was Greg, I couldn’t be cold to him even if I wanted to.Gently, I unwrapped his arms from my shoulders and looked into his troubled eyes.“I need to go down that cliff and verify if Willow is dead or not,” I growled and ma

Chapter 73:Violet’s POVI knew that the only way to get my parents to forgive me would be for me to get them out of there. And this in turn meant that, I had to speak to Axel. I knew it was crazy and risky especially now, but I had run out of options and my heart was too wounded by my parent’s rejection for my head to think straight.The only thing ringing in my head was the insults they had howled at me and how I was going to erase that when I managed to convince Axel to release them. Come to think of it, all humans were innocent. They were not directly involved and surely, my parents wouldn’t be punished.I lifelessly walked out of the dungeon and started making my way to the upper levels of the mansion.Despite the turmoil in my soul, I noticed that the maids and other workers had started leaving their hiding places and everyone tried to lend a hand or two into fixing the mansion from the mess the battle had left behind.A few of them greeted me, but my mind was deeply buried in t

Chapter 75:Violet’s POVA frown also covered my face, and I snatched my hand out of his hold. I took a second to do a quick sweep of my system and aside from a few aches in my body -especially my head, I was fine.“You look pale…” Monty added with his hands raised defensively.I blinked suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me as soon as the comment left his lips, but I fisted my hands and pushed it off. I was surely only feeling that way because he mentioned that I didn’t look good.I was just stressed out with everything that was happening. Once I got a solution from my parents. The aches would stop, and I would feel just great.“I am fine,” I mumbled and turned away from him, this time he didn’t stop me.I jogged out of the main house and moved to the lower levels, where her office was. The door was closed but from my position, I could already hear her voice as she yelled orders and curses to whomever was with her.As I got to her door, I said a quick prayer to Heaven to

Chapter 77:Axel's POV"They were in the southern lands yesterday and so far there has been no sign of her," Nathan said scribbling into the map. "This means that she is no longer in our kingdom —if at all she is alive...""I understand what you are saying but I want no stones left unturned. I don't care where she is or what happened to her... I just need her body, dead or alive." I hissed.I wasn't about to give up on the search for Willow, after everything she had done. She had dared to insult me and my parents, I wanted her to realize how much of a mistake she made by thinking she could ever rule these lands."Okay, we'll work on that..." Nathan mumbled.We were both in my office, reviewing the reports and tracking Greg's progress in the search. Greg had been out for days now and deep down, I knew that Nathan just wanted his father to come home especially since the search wasn't yielding the kind of results I had hoped for.Greg had almost completed the entire stretch of the kingd
