CASSANDRAAs I studied the strange Northern King, I tried to ascertain if he was telling me the truth. His deep blue eyes remained fixed on me and maintained their gaze too steadily to be overtly suspicious, but how could I trust the man I’d found out was a villain?But even though I wasn’t sure if what he said was credible, I remembered what Asher had once told me a while ago- that Emmett Keller had been “abducted” after the death of his parents and then returned to Wild Crawler after many years.But why would Emmett do that?Since he was dead now, how could I confirm his story?“I can see the doubt on your face,” Kaleb spoke up, and he leaned forward and folded his hands in his lap. “Both Yurene and Wegalla had lost track of the sorcerer’s family until ‘Emmett’ visited Yurene one day. Upon arriving in my country, he revealed his identity as a sorcerer, though back then, he didn’t give us his name. Back then, my father was deeply ill with the mysterious illness. Emmett promised that

KALEBI leaned over to hold Cassandra’s shoulder as she lost consciousness and nearly fell from her chair. As I steadied the beautiful healer and swept her long, copper curls away from her lovely face, the smile disappeared from my face.I had regarded this tale with amusement and thought Cassandra would do the same. I hadn’t expected her to pass out. I wasn’t sure if it was the stress of the matter or what, but her skin was pale and she sat limply in my arms.She remained breathing, though, so I wasn’t too terribly worried about her.A few seconds later, Anubis stepped into the room without knocking. His lips twitched at the sight of me and the healer, and then his dark eyes flashed with amusement.“Who knew you were so gentlemanly?” he stated with a cruel smirk, and then he walked across the room and took a seat in the chair opposite us.“What do you want?” I uttered as I held her steady. Her chest rose and fell lightly as she breathed, and for a moment, my mind was fixated on makin

SILASI froze in place and my mind fought to find a reasonable response. Her lovely russet eyes shot daggers in my direction, and the coldness of her tone was almost enough to send me to my knees in shame.I didn’t know what to say. Becky was right, of course. It wasn’t hard to explain. The whole story was straightforward and could be told simply in one sentence- my father had decided to betray the Alpha King and my sister had drugged Asher to postpone his return to Anemond.But I couldn’t tell her any of this… could I?“Fine, I don’t need you to explain,” Becky interrupted my thoughts in an even colder voice than before. “I couldn’t care less about this. I don’t care what side you’re on, Silas, I just want you to stay the hell out of my way.”Her sudden intensity surprised me, and I took a step back in shock. I’d never heard her react so angrily, but I also couldn’t fault her. This was a dangerous and confusing situation for everyone.All I wanted to do was protect her, but she didn’

ADALYNAsher was glaring at me, and the coldness of his expression made my heart ache. Even though he was still clearly exhausted, his features were just as handsome as ever, and all I wanted to do was lean over the bed and press my lips against his. I knew his lips would feel soft and sweet, and if he would just give me the chance, our embrace could be wonderful.But we both knew he wouldn’t give me that chance, not when he had such an irritated look in his beautiful gray eyes.How could he call the name of that wretched, vile healer when it was me who had taken care of him for a whole day? That backwoods commoner wasn’t here at his bedside, I was, and knowing that Asher still wasn’t grateful made me frown.Father had told me that the drug I’d administered would be effective for two days, so I wasn’t totally surprised when I realized Asher couldn’t move. Though he was conscious and awake, his limbs were still numbed, making his efforts useless.“What have you done, Adalyn?” he hissed

ASHERIt wasn’t raining hard at first, but as I left the borders and entered the forest, I could understand what the lieutenant had been getting at. It was pouring quite heavily. Mud covered the narrow path, making it very slippery and extremely difficult for cars to drive through.Though my black-furred wolf form was agile and gave me the ability to cut corners and run more freely in the forest, I felt it hard to continuously move at a fast speed. Especially when I was still feeling the effects of Adalyn’s drug.After a while, my fur was drenched and I had to stop every so often to shake off the water. My lungs began to ache after so much physical effort and my vision was narrow because of the growing mist in the forest.I stopped under a tall tree with a thick and broad trunk to catch my breath and take a short rest. The scent of pine filled my nose and brought me a moment of pleasure though the rest of my physical form was tired.I sat down and looked around at my surroundings. I n
