Chapter 81 A taste of jealousy

ASHER When Cassandra Keller arrived at my study for the health check the next day, I was still thinking about Adalyn’s accusatory words. I wasn’t stupid enough to fall for the claim that the healer was somehow entangled with the king of Yurene. There was no way she had anything to do with him. I knew Adalyn’s words had come from jealousy. And yet, I couldn’t help but consider Kaleb. The way the king from the North treated Cassandra bothered me greatly. There was something there in the way the tall, foreign man studied her. There was an affection that I didn’t like, one that even now, I couldn’t deny. But a spy? No. There was no way that the beautiful healer I’d plucked all the way from Wild Crawler was an operative. “Is everything okay?” she asked me quietly. “Sure,” I remarked simply. She spread her supplies out on my desk and then got to work. As she poked and prodded me, my mind began to wander until I finally slipped back into reality. Cassandra was engrossed in her work. I

Chapter 82 Let's open the box

CASSANDRA Even though I wanted to tell Asher everything and reveal what the king of Yurene and I had spoken about after Margaret had left the room, Kaleb had asked me to keep the details of our conversation a secret. I couldn’t betray anything about his father’s illness, not when he’d been kind enough to save me so many times. And besides, there was no way I could even remotely mention Kaleb’s offer to join him in the North. There was no possible way Asher could understand that, not even a little bit. Hell, I couldn’t even understand it myself, not when there was so much going on. The snake pit. Adalyn. The encounter with the Alpha King in his chambers last night… I certainly couldn’t say anything after last night. I could hardly stand to be in the same room as Asher. His proximity to me was far too much already that I could barely handle this health check without losing my mind. Was he still thinking about it as much as I was? Still thinking about me, the way I’d wrapped my

Chapter 83 Stolen

CASSANDRA We left Asher’s study immediately, and the moment we set foot in the hallway, the guards stationed outside both glanced at each other in alarm. “Is everything all right, Your Majesty?” one asked as he studied the Alpha King’s expression. To his credit, Asher was looking slightly exhausted. His dark circles were far more present than they’d been in the past week. As the illness was affecting him more and more, his physical appearance began to look more sickly. He was still as handsome as ever, but it was evident he wasn’t sleeping much these days. “I’m fine,” Asher answered him politely. “I’ll return shortly. I’m going to accompany Healer Cassandra on an errand. Remain here.” “Yes, Your Majesty,” the guard replied obediently, and after he offered Asher a nod, the Alpha King turned to me and gestured forward. “Let’s go,” he said, and then we made our way down the hall. Our walk down to the royal library was silent, and I once again found myself surprised that Asher was

Chapter 84 Her plan

ASHER “Your Majesty, I think the intruder could be the same man from the basement,” Cassandra explained from the far side of the room. After the healer had announced her theory in the library, I’d asked her to speak with me privately back in my study. I didn’t want to further trouble the librarian, who was already completely on edge or give the other guards further reason to panic. If the intruder was amongst the guards as we suspected, I also didn’t see any reason to reveal too much information to the ones present in the library. I wasn’t sure who I could trust these days, apparently, so I assigned the ones who’d investigated the trashed room to clean up for the librarian. So now, it was just Cassandra and I alone together in the study. As she explained her train of thought, I couldn’t help but admire her intelligence. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she was very smart, and I liked it. Cora had been highly intelligent too. It was one of the traits I loved the most abo

Chapter 85 Unexpected visitors

CASSANDRA“Lancel looks so sullen,” Becky whispered to me quietly.My assistant and I were hard at work in the lab, and Asher’s head guard was perched near the door. The older gentleman had a look of disdain on his face, but I wasn’t sure if that was due to any actual reason or if it was just his appearance.Either way, I stifled a giggle.“Don’t take it personally,” I whispered back. “Maybe he’s just having a bad day or something.”“Or maybe it’s just his face,” Becky joked. I started cracking up immediately. Though we were two different people, we had the exact same sense of humor. Becky always knew how to make me laugh.My assistant was right of course. Lancel was a very serious guard and performed his duties diligently. I’d hardly ever seen him smile. Even when I was younger, I rarely saw the man’s expression change.Then again, Lancel had never really liked Cora. I didn’t know why exactly, but maybe it was because he thought the poor, miserable girl brought his Alpha too many dif

Chapter 86 Someone tried to poison her

CASSANDRA A lump formed in my throat and my heart began to race as I stood frozen in the doorway. Beyond the table, Erika gave me an apologetic expression and mouthed the word “sorry”. I could tell she felt bad that they were there, but I knew it wasn’t her fault. Erika couldn’t stop the Alpha King’s wife and son from entering even if she wanted to. Adalyn continued to stare at me coldly, and Erika hustled to my side. “Erika, could you please prepare some tea?” I asked her quietly. “In the meantime, I’ll deal with Lady Adalyn.” “Are you sure, Cassandra?” the maid replied, and her eyes widened. “I can stay-” “I can do this,” I insisted. “Please leave us.” Erika nodded and then slipped away to make the tea. Once she was gone, I turned to Lancel. “Could you grant Lady Adalyna and me some privacy?” I requested, but the older man didn’t seem too keen on the idea. “I’ll be right here,” he said curtly, and he crossed his arms against his chest. Frustration swelled within me, and I re

Chapter 87 Caught him!

CASSANDRA Adalyn’s eyes widened at the commotion and she sprang into action. She rose from her seat, swept Marco into her arms, and backed away from the table. “What’s going on?” she demanded, and she looked between Erika and me. “Something doesn’t make sense here. Are… are you trying to kill me?”Her tone grew more shrill with every word and her body began to tremble. I didn’t know what to say, but I knew I had to say something quickly. Arguing with Adalyn didn’t matter. All I wanted was for Lancel to catch whoever was eavesdropping on us. “Answer me, healer!” Adalyn shouted when I didn’t reply. “Lady Adalyn, if I wanted you to die, I wouldn’t have stopped you from drinking that tea,” I pointed out to her as I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Adalyn’s face contorted, but she didn’t have any other argument to make She held Marco close and rushed out of the room. I had half a mind to stop her and beg her to stay here in the chamber. It could be dangerous out there if the guards

Chapter 88 Take her place

CASSANDRA As I fought to catch my breath and make sense of all of this, Lancel spoke up and called out to the man. “Release the Alpha King’s wife,” he pleaded carefully, and he raised his hands as if in surrender. “We can reach an understanding, but only if you let her go-” “An understanding?” the man scoffed, and he shook his head slowly as he held tightly onto Adalyn. “There’s nothing to understand. There’s no way you’re going to handle this peacefully. I know I’m dead anyway, so I may as well just take her with me.” He gripped onto her even tighter still and dug his claws further into her arm. Adalyn whimpered as trails of blood poured down her skin. My eyes welled up with tears before I could stop them. This was cruel. As much as I detested Adalyn, she didn’t deserve this. “Do you like that, baby?” the man laughed as she writhed under his hold. “Huh? Keep squirming and I’ll do much worse. Trust me, I have all kinds of ways to hurt you.” “The king won’t let you get away with

Chapter 89 Fight

CASSANDRA My voice caught in my throat as the Alpha King glared down at me. His grip remained tight around my wrist and the intensity of his gaze was almost enough to make me collapse. He was finally here. For a moment, I nearly forgot myself. I was so relieved to see him that the rest of the audience in the corridor didn’t even matter. But that feeling was fleeting when I heard a chorus of whispers. Adalyn. The imposter. I was on a mission. I was about to protest Asher’s statement, but before the words could leave my lips, the Alpha King released my arm and stepped forward. His tall frame obstructed me completely and shielded me from view. “Release her at once,” he practically growled at the man, and I shivered at his powerful tone. “Asher,” Adalyn whimpered beyond us. I stepped out just far enough to see what was going on. Her amber eyes spilled over with tears, but this time, they were from happiness and relief rather than fear. Moments later, Oliver and Linda Moses pushed

Chapter 90 Alpha King's weak spot

ASHEROliver had been trying to kill the man. Of that, I was certain.I narrowed my eyes and studied my father-in-law, who was now checking on Adalyn with his wife beside him. Linda was sobbing but gave Cassandra the space to fully examine her daughter. Meanwhile, Oliver’s normally stoic face was even more stern than usual.Once I gave the order to bring her to the royal healers and Cassandra deemed her ready to be moved, the guards swept Adalyn up off of the ground. I watched the Beta family follow the guards out of the corridor, and once they were gone, I considered Oliver’s actions.The way the events had all unfolded was very suspicious, to say the least. Oliver hadn’t seemed even a little worried about Adalyn when he’d stepped forward to attack the imposter, nor had he waited for my orders. If I hadn’t interfered at the last moment, the Beta would have killed the man and kept us from getting the answers we so desperately needed.Curious. It was all so curious.I pondered it for
