When Kai and Dan left, Astrid went to Lucas office to speak to him. She didn't bother knocking, she simply opened the door and went in."What was that Lucas? A marriage? You never told me anything about getting married." She said, her anger evident in her voice.Lucas was already expecting her to be here, but he was already prepared for this, he stood up and walked to her."I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was planning on doing so today, but I didn't get the chance to.""You had every chance Lucas, and something tells me you've been planning this for sometime now, you can't just tell me you suddenly came up with this today and also had the wedding card made today." She stated. Lucas sighed."Fine you caught me." He raised his hands in surrender. "Yes I've been planning this for days now and I've also had the card prepared before, I didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't accept and besides we're only doing this to keep Kai away from you and the kids, don't think too much about it

Astrid's eyes slowly opened, she winced when she got a bad headache, after recalling what happened, she tried getting up and that was when she realized her hands and legs has been tied, even her mouth has been sealed with a tape.She struggled to free herself, but she was still feeling a bit weak and dizzy."Oh no, I must be too late already. Crystal would have gotten married to Lucas in my place." She panicked."We can't be so sure about that Astrid, let's get out of here fast!'' Her wolf said."I'm trying, but that bitch tied me up so tight!" She mentally groaned."Let me." Sage replied and then she took control.She sat up and pulled her hands apart with all her strength, in just a few seconds, the rope broke and her hands were free. Sage then gave the control back to Astrid.She hurriedly pulled the tape off her mouth and then freed her legs. When Astrid stood up, she staggered and almost fell, but she managed to maintain her balance. She shook her head, trying to clear off her di

"Who are you?" Crystal asked as she roughly pulled her hand from Kathryn's hold."That doesn't matter. The question is why were you at the alter instead of Astrid?" She asked. Crystal rolled her eyes at her."Why does everyone keeps asking me that? It's none of y'all business, so just mind your own business woman." She rudely replied."Oh please, I'm just curious cause it seems we both share the same goal in some kind of way. You know I can literally tell the reason you were at that alter instead of Astrid, you clearly look like a woman who's fighting to get what she wants and what you want is Lucas isn't it." She smirked. When Kathryn saw the surprise look on Crystal's face, she chuckled. "Don't be so shocked, I would have done the same if I were you. I want Kai for myself and I'm willing to do anything to keep him, even if it means getting blood on my hands." "And as for you, I can tell you feel the same way."Crystal smiled. "You're smart, but not too smart I must say." She repli

"Wow." The kids muttered as they stepped into the room."Did you have a fight with aunt Crystal mommy?" Kayden asked, still looking at the mess they made."Err...you three shouldn't be here, let's head back to you room.''"You're bleeding mommy." Jayden stated.Astrid wiped the blood off her forehead, but not only her forehead was injured, she's been hurt in multiple places too and it was visible."It's nothing, I'll clean this up, let's go back to your room.'' She said, silently hoping they'll listen to her. The kids has been experiencing a lot lately and they've seen things she wouldn't ever want them to see."Did aunt do that to you?'' Braden asked and Astrid sighed deeply.She went to them and crouched down to their level. "Boys, this is something you shouldn't be bothered about and I'm sorry once again for not being careful, I don't want you guys to keep on seeing things like this. Whatever's happening between I and Crystal is our problem and hopefully, we'll be able to resolve i

"What are you going to do now Kai?" Dan asked.They were back at the palace now. Kai was kind enough to have let the rogues off with a warning and they had promised to never get in his way again."Lucas keeps trespassing and it's getting out of hand now, if we don't do something about this, he'll keep on doing more things and thinks he can always get away with it.''"Astrid and my kids are there Dan, this isn't just about me, if it hadn't been for Astrid and the kids then I'll waste no time in attacking his pack but I need to thread carefully now. I'm still trying to get her back, I don't want my actions to harm her or the kids, remember what happened the last time? Kayden got hurt because of me and I still can't get over that.""I understand you completely Kai, but we still have to do something about this, you can talk to Astrid too.''"And you think she's going to listen? She didn't even believe me when I told her what he did to my were house. I don't know if I should tell her about
