Chapter thirty threeDarius's pov"We will have to send a spy to the rogues to know their next step. Besides, they have been doing same to us. They sent spies to the pack." one of the officials, in the meeting hall of the palace said and was supported by few officials while the rest were against it."Haven't we done that before? What did we achieve? They ended up killing our spies sent to them. The rogues aren't that daft." another official said, against the suggested of the first official."Why don't we set traps for the rogues? That way, we will be able to get them." another suggested.They all brought in their suggestions but none was good to defeat the rogues and Theo. They weren't able to bring up a better suggestion."Theo is smart and we have tried this suggestions before, but it was all abortive." I said. I wanted a plan that will defeat Theo completely and end their rule. "We have to come up with a better strategy to defeat him before other alphas join hands with him. For now

Lita's PovHow can she tell me that? Is she trying to take me out of her son's life? She is also like him. She don't want me to.If I get a mate and live happily with him, then why would I need Darius again? She is trying to outsmart me. The mother and son wants me out."How could you say that? If I find my mate and live happily with him, then why would I need Darius again. He wants me out because he don't want me anymore. He wouldn't get jealous even though I go to another man. This is how much he hated me.""J don't mean it that way. Please listen to me.""Just stop it. Stop It mother. I love Darius and Darius alone. I only want him and I don't want any other man, not even my mate." I cried out, disappointed.I never expected mother to say something like this. Hearing it from her breaks my heart so much."Darius don't want you anymore so go find your happiness. The full moon is coming soon." she said and immediately she realized what she said, she tried to hold me but I moved back.

Chapter thirty sevenRiley's PovMother was coming behind him, so I was worried she might have heard me. Seeing the expression on my face, Danny looked back and saw mother approaching us."Hello mother." he said when she was close enough.She smiled. "Oh Danny, have you seen Darius? Went to his room and even his secret chamber, but he wasn't there. I want to speak with him as it's been a while since we spoke.""Well mother, he went out of the palace? Did he go alone? Isn't that dangerous? His personal bodyguards are still in the palace.""Well he went alone as he wasn't going far. He just went for a hunt in the forest.""But that is risky. He shouldn't go alone now." she said, looking so worried. She wasn't happy to hear that he went out to huntBut of he was going to hunt in the forest, why did he go in a disguise and why couldn't I perceive his scent? All is this all for the hunting? Is the disguise for the hunting."Don't worry mother, he will be fine. Besides, this isn't the first

Riley's PovDanny strode to us, with a frown on his face. He wasn't happy and I am sure is because of my ordeal. I am being harassed and my secret is about to be exposed.I should have just stayed in the room, then none of this would have happened. If Darius finds out that I told everyone about him being my mate, he might chop off my head."What is going on here? Lita what do you think you are doing?" he asked."Danny I should be the one asking." she pointed at me. "She is Darius's mate and as his friend, you would know that too. Why didn't you all tell me?""Is she truly the Alpha's mate?" Max asked.The wolves began to murmur amidst themselves. "Why would the Alpha's mate be a servant?" I heard them ask each other.Lita smirked and look me from head to toe. "I can't believe my baby left me for someone like you." she said, scrunching her nose in disgust. "This is really unbelievable."I couldn't say anything, as she insults me. Even though I wanted to defend my self so badly, I could

Chapter forty oneDarius's PovAlthough the chamber was dark. It is meant to be so and that is why it is a secluded area. I could see the familiar silhouette of a man. I stood up and put my hand in my back pocket. I know who the person is. I am expecting someone who I know is the one there."Calm down Alpha, you don't have to get ready to fight at every slight provocation." he said and laughed sardonically."Theo, you can stop hiding in the dark and come out now." I said out loud.He laughed again and hummed. "I am impressed. You are smart as they say you are. You were able to know it was me, just by my voice.""Only a fool wouldn't know that creaky voice of yours and your dark shadow only belongs to you. Let's say, it's not hard to figure out who you are. You will be bad at playing hide and seek." he said, mockingly."I see, you little boy now have the courage to talk back at your elders. Well, I am not surprised. Your father died leaving the throne for a little boy like you. It's su
