SOPHIE’S POV I thought I had won after I saw how shocked Luke was that night but I soon realised I was wrong and I regretted standing up against him because it only made him stronger and much more vengeful than he already was. Luke started ruling like a bloodthirsty leader and no matter what I said to stop him, he wouldn’t listen to me. I tried stopping him on many occasions, some were successful while some failed but in the end, he would always go back and do it again, leaving me with my mouth wide open. Luke had made things much more difficult than I thought and it was getting to my neck, it was harder to stop him and things were getting out of hand. I was in my room after taking a bath when I received a call that a meeting had been called and it would take place in an hour. “We hope to see you there.” The message was sent by Luke himself and I could imagine his creepy expression as he typed and sent the message to me. I quickly stood up from my seat and started dressing up as t

SOPHIE’S POV Days passed but in the kingdom, it was as if a hundred years had passed after King Magnus died. It was scary and with the way things were going, it was only a matter of time before the Lycans would protest against the new king and if that happened, things would go sour and many things would be ruined. If I believed Magnus’s death, I wouldn’t have been this bothered. I might even instigate the protest so that we could get rid of Luke but I knew Magnus was alive and he would return to his castle one day. I was waiting for him patiently while looking for ways to help him preserve the kingdom. All Luke does these days is training, he spends the whole day training all the men in the kingdom for the upcoming war and this causes a rift in the kingdom. Things weren’t going well but he did not care. The war was getting closer to each other and soon, he would lead our men to the battleground. I had been thinking of ways to stop him but nothing was working and in the end, I decid

MAGNUS’S POV I bit my tongue so hard that blood came pouring out and to aid the blood, I also bit hard on my lips, bringing out more blood. The men were bothered and because of this, they started shouting my name~ “King Magnus! King Magnus!!” I heard the shortest guy's voice and for a moment, I wished to open my eyes and tell him to shut the hell up so he wouldn’t risk exposing me on early for nothing but I knew that would be stupid of me. He was nicer than the usual stereotypical goons and rather kind to me a bit but he was still one of them and to save his ass, he might not think twice before selling me off. Why would I even trust someone like that? It wasn’t part of me and it would never be but I had registered it in my mind to help him if I ever come across him in the future to repay him for being such a nice person. “Hey! Are you okay?” I heard another voice and I knew it was the most quiet of them all that talked. “I’m not. The man is about to die. No... maybe he’s dead?” Th

SOPHIE'S POV"Alpha Jax?" I asked in disbelief. After what he did to me, what right did he have to visit the castle again and even ask about me?I thought I had heard wrong but the nod of the maid reminded me that I was right and in the castle was someone I would hate to see. "Why?" I asked the maid. She looked around for a while, her eyes were filled with confusion "I have no idea, My Queen." She replied. Of course, how would a maid know the reason someone as treacherous as Jax visited the castle all of a sudden? He was someone who once tried to ruin me after all. "Tell him..." I paused as I thought of what to say to him. I didn't want to see him, I didn't want to go and meet him there... Also, the last thing I wanted was for Luke to see us together as I knew how angry he was back then. I sucked in a deep breath and shook my head "Tell him I will be there in a few minutes." I replied and the maid left my room. I paced up and down in my room, thinking of the best way to counter h

MAGNUS' POV We've been planning on how to take down Luke for a while now but being rash with it was something we avoided at all cost. We made different plans and collected ideas from every one of us until we were finally able to choose one which was mine. "We will do this, right?" I questioned as I looked at their pleased places. These men did not start as mine but through daily interaction and coming together, they had grown used to me and respected me as a leader. They would do everything I said even though I always asked them for their opinion too because I knew their life was in danger too. Following me meant death for each of them and thank goodness they all knew that but still decided to follow me anyway. According to one of them, he said he would rather die a soldier than get killed while being used by someone as treacherous as Luke. It was nice to hear and it boosted not only their morals but mine too. It was a different story if I was the only one facing Luke because no m
