There was a understanding established between them now.They could feel it. Cisca couldn't hide the fact that they she was happy.An agreement was reached between them."We are going to pretend that we do not know each other, while we meet secretly." Alden suggested."Is that okay?" He asked."Yes." She replied. The feeling was surreal. This man was running things by her.It made her see Alden in a different light.She had always seen him as a tyrant that didn't care about anything else but himself. They heard howling signifying that the hunt was coming to an end.They looked at the door.He had to go.He drank in her face again. He knew he was going to always see her but there might be no luxury of time like today. She hugged him tightly and he slowly disengaged from her embrace.He left the room and went to the pack house. 

 She brought out a letter from her coat and handed it over to the king.It read" The King is a hinderance to my success. I need you to take him out."  Another one read"Eliminate Alexia, and Stiles." Also Signed by Magnus. The king kept his anger at bay. So Magnus wanted him dead. After all the things they had been through? They were friends from childhood. How did she get all this information? She wasn't a saint either.  "I don't believe this." He would milk information from her. She was not happy at his indifference.Was he pretending to be clueless or he was actually clueless?  The king wasn't a pretender. He wore his heart on his sleeves. That was both a good thing and a bad thing. He could also be cruel if he wanted to. "Is that how much you tr

 The next week, Amelia was discharged from the hospital. She thanked Doctor Bart again.It wasn't going to be easy. She felt a deep loss within her. But it needed to be done."I need a favor from you." She said.Dr Bart looked worried, he didn't want a situation where he'd have to tell more lies.What he did was against his work ethic. He only assuaged his conscience by saying it was because he wanted to save Amelia's life. "What might that be, your highness?" He asked her. He hoped that it wasn't anything criminal. Patients had the tendency to want to rope you into doing their bidding, once you lie for them. "I don't want to get pregnant." She said.Well he wasn't the one that gave children but he understood what she was trying to say. "I cannot increase your pills, they'll disrupt your hormones." He explained "I don't care just do something that would

 She smiled and nodded her head. Alden didn't waste time to draw her closer to him and kiss her. She felt lightheaded again. The feeling never fading every timeHe looked at her again for permission and she nodded again. She heard it was painful but she was going to endure it anyway.She could see the love in Alden's eyes.He kissed her neck. She felt his fangs extract but he hesitated giving her chance to object.  It made her love him the more. He didn't just want to take. He valued her opinion. She looked at him. His eyes were closed."Hey." She held his head."I'll be alright. I want this, I want you." She reassured him. He sighed and kissed her again, and sank his teeth into her neck. Woah! Nothing prepared her for the pain that she felt.She gasped.Alden licked the blood from her shoulder."I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He muttered.

A week later, Nicky met with Hamon at the outskirts of the town. Things had become pretty heated up in the palace, and she had to be really careful.After what happened with Magnus last week, people were careful of having a group discussion about whatever happened in the pack.They booked a silent inn to talk about her plans. The owner of the inn was quite surprised that the queen was here but she paid him off.Now that the threats became real, she had to be a step ahead of her enemies.She sipped a gin. " I need you to eliminate Stiles." She told him casually. Hamon merely smiled. "What about the king?" He whispered."Hold on about that." She still needed himHamon wondered why she was so crazy about her son being king. But that was none of his business." It shouldn't happen so early." She said. A lot was going on right now, killing Stiles would raise dust."Do it after the war." She said.From her prediction, the king or Alden might die during the war. So it'll be appropriate at
