Regan's POVAs the day drew nigh, our preparation heightened, we were gradually drawing closer to the beginning of the end. The end of King Muna and the Dowager's reign. Day by day, we sent our men who possessed supernatural abilities to spy on the Dowager and the king, Adrian alongside the two new men. But they found nothing, they came bearing the same news every day that there was nothing unusual going on with the Dowager's and the King's chambers It was a strategy and we were not gullible not to know that they were making plans and having meetings outside the palace. We intensified our plans each day and we were always ready.Ashley was doing fine. She had been yielding to me. She was carrying our pup and I loved her so much. And Asher? He found love amidst the chaos. He wasn't into women and I had been concerned about that aspect of his life. I was taken by surprise when I realised that it was Rossi, Ashley's friend. He loved her so much. When I saw the passion between them my f

Asher's POVWe had our munitions so we couldn't teleport back to the palace. As we marched down, we fought many enemies who were lying in wait for us. Some of King Muna's soldiers had spread out while the whole army was waiting to take us out at the palace.We were just a stone's throw from the palace when they came at us. Bullets and arrows were fired sporadically. We shielded ourselves and after the recklessness simmered down, I addressed the soldiers."The commander of the war, King Muna, is dead. He has already been taken down. It's to your advantage that you retreat and surrender. If you do, you will all be spared. It's…" I was still addressing the soldiers when my brother, Prince Adams fired sporadically. One of the bullets struck Regan and he fell, groaning in pain.My heart skipped a beat but thank goodness he was wearing the vest. "King Muna might have been killed, but here I am! Your new king! Your new master!" Adams declared and some faction of the army whom he had won ove

Ashley's POVWhat!? I stood up from the crowd transfixed as I watched the scene. Regan was flabbergasted, the look in his eyes said it all. He tried to stand on his feet but he couldn't. He was caught by surprise.Asher helped him up and Regan hugged him. They stayed that way for a moment while the crowd applauded. The applause wasn't loud, it was obvious that the people preferred Asher to Regan.Asher placed the seal in Regan's hand and led him upstage. Regan lifted the seal and yelled. "To the honour of my family members who died tragically in the hands of their kinsmen!" The applause increased as people sympathised with him. Moreover, they all loved King Carter."I know I have lived a life that seemed unworthy of the throne. It was all a camouflage to escape death from the hands of those who killed my parents. Here I'm… I never knew I would get this. Yes, I wanted it but I thought it had slipped away and I was happy for the man who got it… but he has such a big heart… here I am…"

Regan POV"We will find her," Adrian and Asher assured me for the umpteenth time, but I wasn't convinced. Yeah, Ashley was stubborn and bent in her own ways. But I saw the look in her eyes when I told her to go to my chambers. I saw the remorse in her eyes which tells me that She would want to please me first even if it meant she would defy my orders the next hundred times.I had the guards comb through the palace but she wasn't there. Rossi didn't know either. I had sent messages to her Pack and family, I needed to know if she was with them.Adrian had also tried to look for her. He tried to locate her with his supernatural abilities but he couldn't connect to her. Everyone told me all is fine but I didn't buy it. There was this longing feeling and I just couldn't help but think that something was wrong.I dozed myself with drinks late into the night until Asher came to see me. He took away my drink and berated me."Common Regan, you are the king now. Stop acting indecently…" "The

Regan's POVI was losing my mind and I knew it. I had joined the guards and tore down unfamiliar paths in Colleen looking for Ashley, but there was no sign of her. I even went to see the Dowager, but she knew nothing about her disappearance. It was becoming easy to assume that if Ashly was still alive, she left of her own accord and did not want to be found. But she was carrying my pup, she wouldn't do that.Adrian had visited on different occasions but he came with the same testimony. He couldn't find her nor connect to her. His explanation was simple. He said she was possibly being held by someone with higher supernatural abilities than him. He also suggested that she could be confined with wolfsbane or possibly dead. The last statement almost cost him his head.I was unstable and didn't fit in as a King. Ashley's disappearance was a colossal loss, it affected everything about me. Although I occupied the throne and I was officially the King, it was my right-hand man, Asher, who mad
