CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE.CARL'S POV.The expressions in the council room ranged from shock to scepticism, and the weight of their gazes bore down on me after Elder Lennox declared the letter fake.'How did he know?' I wondered.I knew I forged the paper. I mean, how else would a letter come in from Jacqueline, who was lying sick in bed, if not through me?I knew I had to do something that would cause everyone to believe the words I was speaking, and earlier, I had written the letter.Forging Jacqueline's writing was like a piece of cake for me.I had worked and walked with him for a long time, and everything about him was known to me. I had also written a letter for some people before in Jacqueline's name, so I knew everything about his writings.Also, I just realised I fucked up.Using the royal seal was a mistake I never really thought of. The royal seal was too sacred to be carried about all around. It had to be in the sacred place in the castle, and that was the mistake I made.Jacqueli

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO.CARL'S POV.I didn't regret shouting them all off, instead, I continued to bash at them."The alpha entrusted me with this pack in his absence, and no one has any right to question my authority,” I said firmly. “Until he returns, I am acting in his stead. If you cannot respect that, then perhaps you should reconsider your position on this council, and I mean it."Who cares if the letter was forged or not? Who gives a flying fuck? Not me. If the alpha himself writes to you, and in your irresponsibility, you wanted to shake it off and tag it upon other responsibilities and tag it as forge, then so be it. "But I think I've taken enough shit than to stand before you and listen to your flimsy excuses. What do you take me for? One who doesn't know his right from his wrong? You've got to be kidding me. Even if I lied to all of you, which, of course, is not true, I have a right to do so."I took a deep breath to continue."Also, We have laws guiding our principles here, an

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was in Jacqueline's hidden room which had also been my room for the past weeks.I sat by his bedside, my fingers were idly tracing the edge of the blanket that covered him with the rhythmic sound of his breathing filling the room whole, a sound that should have brought me comfort but only deepened my unease. Jacqueline's injuries had completely healed, every scar and bruise gone as though they had never existed, and he had resumed breathing normally. Yet, he remained motionless, his eyes closed, lost in a slumber that seemed unending.“Why?” I whispered to him. My voice trembled. “Why aren’t you waking up?”My mind swirled with unanswered questions. Jacqueline was a fighter, of which I know. He was someone who defied odds and rose above challenges, and seeing him like this, so still and lifeless, was a cruel sight I couldn’t understand. I had sat here every day, refusing to leave his side, hoping and praying that he would open his eyes every da

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR.ROSALIE'S POV.I turned away from Susan and tried to take my mind off her betrayal but I couldn't. I sat in the room with my eyes on Jacqueline, and I couldn't help but question him. "What do you want me to do to save you? Don't you think you've slept enough? Don't you see everything that is happening? If you don't see it, why can't you hear it?"Everything here is abnormal without you, and now, my wolf is back to me, all thanks to you. Then I realised that you're my mate, sweet right? Don't you want to see me cause I miss you?" I smiled, "Can you please wake up? I miss you."“Rosalie." I heard the call of my name again and I turned to see Susan still in the room.I frowned, "I thought I told you to leave, Susan."She rose her gaze to meet mine, and in an instant, her composure crumbled. She fell to her knees, her hands clasped together as tears streamed down her face. “Rosalie, I’m so sorry,” she choked out. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I swear I di

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE.ROSALIE'S POV.It was a bright morning, and I was pacing the length of the sitting room in the chamber where Jacqueline was kept, waiting for Carl to show up.Last night, after the heartfelt moment with Jacqueline, we had concluded that we would change Jacqueline's room since the present one had been discovered by Brianna.This time, I had decided not to include anyone in our plan. Not the driver. Not Susan nor any other guards. Just Carl and I, for Jacqueline's safety.Throughout the night, we couldn't sleep. We had to keep on checking for the hidden rooms on the castle's map to know which one we would choose to keep Jacqueline safe.All the unnoticed rooms in the castle were in the open, so we couldn't take Jacqueline there.But we noticed that this present room, which we took him to, was not drawn on the map, so we concluded the fact, 'Not all the rooms in the castle were on the castle's map.'We got what we wanted about the unknown room, so we had to search for

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX.AUTHOR'S POV.In a place so dark that nothing could be seen than thick darkness and the air around was of a calm one which left out a little whisper when it became a little too harsh.Jacqueline was lying on the floor, looking dead and invisible in the dark.When voices disturbed him, his eyes snapped open, and the redness in them showed around the place.He was blinded by the darkness which welcomed him, so he shut his eyes back and groaned on the floor, twisting, "Where am I?" He whispered the question to himself and turned to his side to sit up with great difficulties.He couldn't.He tried to move again, but his ears caught a rushing sound. He stopped trying and took his burning eyes to where the sound was coming from. He strained his eyes, trying to see through the darkness like he should since he was a werewolf and his sight was better at night than the day. However, he couldn't see a thing, no matter his trials.What was hitting his eyes at that moment was p

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.The cold floor of the hallway pressed against my footwear as I stumbled forward with Carl and was led forward by the guards who were surrounding us. Lennox was present too, and I had been seeing the demonic smirk he plastered on his face since we left the room.I stared at my hands, which had been bound in front of me to keep me from thinking of running or escaping successfully, which I was so thinking. Beside me, Carl walked with his head held high, his expression defiant despite the bruises forming on his cheek and jaw. He had been hit severally, as per Lennox's order to keep him shut and submissive.Though they didn't succeed in keeping him submissive, they were able to keep his mouth shut.I knew that he would be in a biting pain right now and he was healing ever slowly. He was beaten with silver, for he was just too stubborn, just like Jacqueline.The guards on either side of us shoved us forward disrespectfully when our pace faltered, and th

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT.ROSALIE'S POV.Carl and I followed Scott out of the pack, and when we got outside, we halted before three sleek black cars, which were parked right there with his guards sweeping all around them like ants do to sugar.A door was opened for us, "Enter in." We were commanded.I had lost the zeal to go with Scott. I never knew that he was planning to take us out of the pack. If he does, how then do we take care of Jacqueline?Carl peaked unto my face, "Why are we stopping? Aren't we following him anymore?""I thought going with him was a better idea. I'm sorry."Scott cut into our words and said, "Too late to apologise!"We were pushed into the car, and it zoomed off immediately, with the others coming behind us.'Why am I not thoughtful enough?' I beat myself up, 'I'm stupid! Stupid.'"Hey, hey, stop it. I'll just tell Susan about Jacqueline's location and she will take care of him for the time we will be away." Carl said to me."What if she snitch on us again?""Do

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.My heart stopped.My breath caught in my throat again. Before I could react, Scott threw his head back and let out a laugh, a chilling, devilish sound that echoed through the corridor like the wail of a tortured soul. His entire demeanour shifted, the mask of sincerity falling away to reveal something far darker than I had been thinking.“What’s so funny?” Carl demanded, stepping forward, his body tense and ready to fight.But I could see he was not stable, his legs were wobbling under him. 'Is he okay?'"I said, what's funny?!" Carl yelled at Scott.Scott’s laughter subsided, but the wicked grin remained. “Oh, you poor fools. Did you think I’d risk everything just to save you? You’re nothing more than pawns in a much larger game.”I felt the blood drain from my face. Rose howled in rage, the truth of her warnings now undeniable. *I knew it!* She exclaimed.I ignored her to focus on Scott.“What do you mean?” I asked him in a shaking voice despite

CHAPTER SIXTY.ROSALE'S POV.The cold in the icy cold room was unbearable, seeping into my bones as I clung to Carl, who barely managed to stay conscious. My mind raced with desperate thoughts, each one more dangerous than the last. I had to find a way out, but the frost-covered walls loomed like a tomb around us, mocking my efforts.Carl’s shallow breathing filled the silence. "Carl," I called while shaking him back over. His words echoed in my ears when he responded, “I’m fine.” But he wasn’t fine. His body was weakening, and if I didn’t act soon, I might lose him.I know.*What can I do, Rose? We can't die here, can we?* I confined in my wolf.Rose snarled in my mind, with her voice ever sharp. *We can’t stay here. We have to find a way out, Rosalie! We’re stronger than this.*I drew a shaky breath, forcing myself to focus. My eyes scanned the room, searching for anything that might serve as a means of escape with my arms still around Carl. I watched the frost on the walls as
