Maximus's POV Chapter 12 As I sat in my throne room, contemplating the betrayal that had been uncovered, I knew that I couldn't take any chances. The map that Titus had shown me was a clear indication that there were traitors in our midst, people who were working against me and the stability of our kingdom. I needed to act fast, and I needed to be careful. I couldn't just start accusing people without proof, or I would risk causing even more chaos and confusion. But there was one person who I knew I could trust, one person who had always been loyal to me no matter what. And that was Marcus, my head tracker. "Marcus," I said, turning to him. "I need you to gather a team and investigate this map. Find out who created it, and why." Marcus nodded, his expression serious. "Consider it done, your highness. We'll get to the bottom of this." As he left the room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Marcus was one of my most trusted advisors, and I knew that he would d

Chapter 14 Felicity POV "Do you recognize them?" I whispered back, trying to keep my voice calm. "No, I've never seen them before," Ava replied, her eyes still fixed on the figure outside. I gasped, "Who do you think it is?" Ava shrugged, "I have no idea. But we should probably alert the authorities." I nodded in agreement and reached for my phone. But just as I was about to dial, there was a knock on our door. Ava and I exchanged a glance before she cautiously made her way to the door. She peered through the peephole before opening a crack. Standing on the other side was a familiar face. "Peter? What are you doing here?" Ava questioned. Peter grinned sheepishly, "Hey guys. I was in the area and thought I'd stop by for a visit." I let out a sigh of relief, "You scared us for a second there. We thought we were being watched by some stranger." Peter's expression turned serious, "What? Are you sure?" Ava nodded, "We saw someone lurking outside our window just

Felicity POV Ava and i walked into the market and immediately felt the tension in the air. The villagers were talking in hushed tones, looking over their shoulders as they whispered to one another. Ava tugged at my sleeve, making me stop in her tracks. "Do you feel that?" she asked, her eyes darting around the market. I shook my head, unsure what Ava was getting at. "Feel what?" "The atmosphere," Ava whispered, her eyes scanning the crowd. "It's different. Everyone seemed on edge." "Something's not right," Ava said, grasping my arm. I looked around, and Ava was right. The usual chattering and laughter had been replaced by hushed whispers and furtive glances. Something was definitely up. I nodded, feeling my heart race. "I know. Everyone seemed suspicious. It's making me nervous." As we made our way towards our favorite vegetable stall, we overheard two women talking in low voices. "Did you hear?" one of them said, her tone anxious. "The men of the alpha from the

The next day, a meeting was taking place to which Elias had invited us.Ava and I walked into the meeting with Elias, scanning the room nervously for the mysterious man from the protest. "Do you see him anywhere?" Ava whispered, her eyes darting around the room."No, I don't," I replied, feeling relieved yet still tense. We took our seats and greeted Elias' associates, but there was a strange energy in the room that we couldn't ignore.As the meeting began, Elias started talking but he seemed to be skirting around the real topic of discussion. "So, we have some updates on the project," he said hesitantly.Ava and I exchanged confused glances, wondering why Elias was acting so differently than usual. "Is everything okay, Elias?" I asked, trying to break the tension.Elias forced a smile and nodded. "Yes, yes, everything is fine. Let me just continue with the updates."

But the feeling of being watched didn't leave me.I continued on my path, constantly looking over my shoulder and scanning the area for any signs of danger.But my fear soon turned into panic when I heard footsteps behind me."Who's there?" I called out, but no response.I slowly began to pick up the pace, feeling my heart hammering in my chest at the sound of the footsteps closing in on me. "I said, who's there?"

"She couldn't have gone far, look everywhere, she is there," one of them shouted, only increasing my panic.I heard the sound of footsteps pounding mud behind me
