บททั้งหมดของ Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King.: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Reader’s POVSeated at the head of the table was Palmer and on both sides of the long table were high ranking officials in the pack. The dimly lit bar was filled with murmurs and soft music seeping from the large speakers in the four corners of the room.But a heavy silence loomed on the table Palmer and the others sat. They all looked uneasy and the frustration all over their faces was evident. “What are we going to do? The elders already acknowledged her and our chances of denting her image are getting slimmer by the day." Monty said, breaking the silence in their midst. “We have to come up with a contingent plan to take her down once and for all." Jason huffed, crossing his hands on his chest, he added, “I had managed to remain under her reins without causing trouble but not anymore."Everyone seated at the table all had one goal and that is to take Aurora down. Since her arrival, they have been unable to go about their daily business unlike when the former leader was still in

Aurora's POV While Miller went on and on, trying to convince me on why I should run away before the palace guards came for me, I was pacing about with my heart inside my mouth.Palmer.What is he up to this time around? It wasn't up to twenty four hours when he handed over the file to me that contained the progress of the faction, only for him to set me up in the most unimaginable way. What was I thinking? I should have left or more still don't do anything as Elder Garrick had insisted but I had refused to be cornered. Now, see where my stubbornness had landed me in.Pressing my lips into a thin line, I tried not to dwell on Palmer’s betrayal but on how to pull myself out of this mess. Crossing my hands on my chest, I began to pace about, racking my head at the same time to come up with the perfect plan but it was to no avail. The evidence presented was solid, mere words wouldn't be enough to prove my innocence. I have to do something. “Aurora, you have to leave now." Miller s

Asher’s POVEverything that had happened, a few minutes was all I needed to make everything return to normalcy but I didn't raise a finger.It wouldn't be completely wrong to say it was a perfect trap.One to corner Aurora, make her vulnerable and desperate. In that way, she wouldn't hesitate to reveal her identity she had sworn to hold onto. Who knows if she still wouldn't speak. Aurora was stubborn and strong headed, wanting to do everything on her own without getting assistance from anyone. Well, if she still decides to hold on to her identity, no issue but this ploy was worth the trial.Whoever it was that had set Aurora up had done the most perfect job I had seen in a while.The evidence was so neat and perfectly orchestrated that even a careful analysis might not bring the accurate result. Palmer posing to be the orchestrator was laughable. He was a force to reckon with but I doubt if he would be able to pull something of this sort.Someone was definitely behind him A stron

Aurora’s POV The silence in the room was deafening. Apart from the sound of the ticking clock on the wall, there was no other sound. I could barely breathe and with each passing second, I felt life seeping out of me. Palmer sat across me with his legs crossed and an unreadable expression. He didn't make any move to speak or move his body; he just sat there like a statue. What does he want from me?When he came in earlier ordering Elder Garrick to leave, I was frightened. I wanted to leave too but I held myself from doing so. Biting the corner of my lips, I grasped the edge of the table, my gaze fixated on him just in case he tried anything stupid. Just yesterday, he was victorious that he had placed me in a tight spot and now he was here in my office, acting like nothing happened. Pushing his hand into his hair, he cast me a quick glance causing a shiver to run through my spine but I forced myself to sit straighter.I wouldn't show cowardice, not in my territory and not before

Asher's POVIt was already ten minutes into dinner, yet, Aurora wasn’t at the table and her maid also was nowhere to be found.Picking my food, I kept staring at the door, hoping she would walk in the next second but she didn’t, making me apprehensive. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I pushed my chair backwards but before I could rise, she walked in with a long face.“I will serve myself." She said to the chef who stepped aside so she could have her way.“Why? Aren't you hungry?" I asked, nodding at her almost empty plate.“I had a late lunch." She replied with disinterest, sending back the rest of my words but not my gaze.I sat across from her so I had a full view of her face, and I didn't allow my eyes to wander from her as she played with her meal.There was no point asking since I already knew the reason why she was downcast. It was already three days, making it eleven days more for her to clear her name. I wished I could help ease her worries but she wouldn't let me. The few
