EVAN'S POV"So you're not disappointed that she turned down your request to help?" My servant asks, riding his horse beside mine. "I would have been disappointed if she agreed. A perfect woman wouldn't forgive so easily." I respond, stopping my horse a few metres from the line of over a hundred soldiers waiting at the front of the blue gate looking very ready for battle. No doubt they got informed that we are coming and got ready. The border guards did see us enter their Kingdom but they took off running as soon as they saw me.I wasn't expecting this to be a walk in a pack though. You don't walk into your enemy's territory and expect a warm welcome. I am here to buy back my mate's little brother, peacefully, but if they choose war I will definitely be more thrilled.Alpha Anderson and his four sons have been nothing but hostile to all the people within their territory. I wouldn't mind giving them a taste of the suffering they give others. I wish that Talia was safe at home while I

EVAN'S POVI wasn't expecting him to be so bitter. But I guess he has every right to be resentful considering the horror he has been through. Being confined in a tiny cage in a dark room for three days is enough to drive an adult human crazy. Hunger and thirst and the need to fully stretch his bones may have been too much to bear. I wonder why he so badly wanted to run when the consequences of being caught were so brutal. He probably thought he could successfully get away and be a free human even if he is the size of a toddler. I can't ask him all the questions now because he must still be tired. "First I want to know if you're feeling okay. Is there something you would like me to get for you?" His eyes narrow in confusion. "Why are you . . . pretending to be nice?" He stutters."Why do you think I am pretending?""Because you hate our family. You sold us as slaves and killed my sister for a crime she had not committed!" He screams, his fists digging into the blankets as his anger

TALIA'S POVThe sight of border posts ahead makes me nervous for some reason. Returning back to my mate's Kingdom so early wasn't part of my original plan. But here I am seated beside him and Michael in a carriage that is part of the small escort made of a few soldiers on horse backs and two carriages. The King's carriage in front has only Evan's servant in it. I was so glad when Edward agreed to join the journey back. He actually seemed happy that I had to choose to accept Evan's help. It's shocking how everyone happens to be so loyal to their hot King, even the man that was my best friend yesterday. Pride was radiating off him when Evan took a seat beside us on the carriage. I wanted to have a peaceful time to think and talk with my little brother. I needed to know if there are things he needs or stuff he would like to share. So I asked him to seat with me on Edward's carriage. He happily agreed and then shockingly invited Evan to join us. It's hard to think when the hunk is so c

TALIA'S POVA plush bed doesn't take away mental distress. No amount of luxury can give you internal peace when your heart is burning with worries. They had prepared a delicious meal last night. I was hungry and was so glad that there was a decent dinner in front of us. But as soon as Evan left the room it felt like he had taken with him my sense of calmness.I suddenly began feeling like I walked into my enemy's palace by mistake. The only thing that made it feel okay was my mate's presence and his constant reminders that he would make sure that we are fine. In his absence, I could feel the young servant's glare on the back of my head like she was imagining a million ways she could have me dead. Maybe it was my brain imagining it, but the obvious truth is that the girl doesn't like my presence here and probably everybody else too. How did I even get convinced that the former King would want me in his home? The man that decided that I get executed instead of jailed. He hated us ju

THIRD PERSON'S POVAlpha Jason regards his unexpected guest with a smirk on his face. He has never liked the Queen. She isn't that anymore but his dislike for her didn't go away upon hearing the news of her sudden downfall. While he loathed her son for turning into an embodiment of perfection and making everyone else like him seem like inferior beings, he hated Olivia for proudly bragging about it when her powerful son is barely a werewolf. Evan would still be seen as a superior being even without Olivia's outrageous bragging. That doesn't mean everyone accepts him as the King of the largest Kingdom when there is no evidence that he is a wolf-like them. Alpha Jason has been one of the people that would do anything to bring down the beloved King. Because otherwise his strong, Lycan son will never be viewed as anything more than an ordinary alpha. Every achievement Miles has made to prove how powerful he has always been overshadowed by King Evan's effortless perfections. You can neve
