Lahat ng Kabanata ng Slave to the Wolf King: Kabanata 241 - Kabanata 250

~ CASIMIR ~I ground my teeth, shocked and furious that Maya was revealing her strength in front of Rake. She’d already revealed far too much in front of the guards and that servant. But none of them would actually know what had happened. Now she was going to tell Rake what she could do?None of the wolves understood my aunt’s power. Our family’s bloodline always held power. Every single one of us. It was why we had risen to the throne. But those in her generation had all been dead for a while, and every generation since had killed every living sibling, so there was never record of adults in the bloodline and their gifts. Maya had vowed to every King after her brother to keep her gifts a secret and retain them o

~ JESSE ~I had been walking for hours. At first I’d cried a lot, the humiliation and anger roiling in my stomach because I couldn’t stop seeing those images Maya had shared, or thinking of all the wolves seeing them… but I quickly pulled myself together.I was alone in the forest, heading towards the city, but still with at least a day’s travel if I couldn’t find a ride. I knew there was a house out here somewhere. A cabin. I thought I was following a path, but it was so faint, and at times I wasn’t even sure it wasn’t just the roll of the land between tree roots. So I wasn’t sure I would even find it.

~ CASIMIR ~I was pacing the cell when Maya returned, arching one brow when I whirled towards the door as she entered. She hobbled inside, thanking Sven, the guard who’d accompanied her, but reassuring him that he didn’t need to come inside.I frowned. Had she taken the loyalty of some of my wolves?“Oh, stop scowling, Cazz. You brought this on yourself and you know it,” Maya muttered as she shuffled to the chair and lowered herself slowly into it with a heavy sigh.I went back to my pacing and waited until she was settled, but didn’t give her a chance to take another dig.“Release my power,” I growled. “You place the entire Kingdom at risk in the event—”

~ JESSE ~It had become clear to me the predicament I was now in when we were bumping our way through the forest. So, while I pretended to be shocked and scared, I really used the time to force myself to think and make a plan while we were driving and my father and the others were consumed with making sure we weren’t followed by the wolves.The whole idea was laughable. These SUVs couldn’t move quickly on the roads that were little more than rutted trails through the trees. The wolves wouldn’t even have had to scent us, though they would for miles because these vehicles chewed through fuel. If they were out there, they were listening to us drive from miles away.But were they out there? Were they following?I prayed if they were, that they were being car

~ CASIMIR ~Maya was refusing to listen to my side of any of this and it was only succeeding in making my hackles rise and my wolf snap his teeth. The bond was tugging at me relentlessly, and the constant barrage of discomfort that bordered on pain in my chest was setting me even more on edge. But she was so damned stubborn. She wouldn’t listen. I needed to get out of here.“…I’m not saying it again, Cazz,” Maya snapped as if she’d heard the complaints in my head, though I knew I had my thoughts carefully guarded. “You pushed those two together—you cannot expect them not to grow close when at the beginning Jesse felt he was her only ally. You forced h
