Black Rose:My forever Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Hanna’s POV I saw them kissing. Right there in the middle of the throne room. Just minutes after telling all of us that we weren’t wanted and after humiliating us. After setting us free like we were nothing but broken toys he had used and left aside. They kissed. It didn’t look like a farewell kiss. It was intimate and personal. Like she belonged there, like she’d been destined to be beside him. My fingers curled into fists so tight my nails could have drawn my own blood. “She’s winning,” I muttered. “She already won,” Lirah said beside me, voice flat.We had been devising a plan already but with the new development, I was surprised she even stayed back. “She’s only winning now because you keep putting up a fight,” the other concubine, Nika, added softly. “Maybe if you had just let it go…” “No,” I snapped. They both looked at me, startled by my sharp response. I swallowed my anger, there was no need to worry my only allies. I lifted my chin. “No. This isn’t over. Not unt

Hanna’s POV The other ladies and I had planned the perfectly orchestrated downfall of Scarlett. And tonight, we would set out the plan in motion. We needed someone who was dangerously intelligent, morally grey and also an expert in making things look real on paper. Fortunately, Nika had already told us that there was someone already working within the palace who fit that description perfectly. His name was Elias. “He was once a respected scribe in the eastern courts, but now he’s just here forgotten in the palace, but he’s still sharp and still very useful but he’s quite bitter about being overlooked and just does things for money so he can enjoy the finer things in life.” Nika said before we left to meet him. “A man that likes luxury? He’s going to be perfect.” I said smiling. She led the way. “It’s better if I’m the one that speaks to him first about all of this, just follow my lead.” I didn’t ask why. There was something in the way she walked, the slight hesitation in h

Hanna’s POV The next piece of our plan had to be placed carefully and with no hiccups. Yes, we knew the forged letters were already damning but we also knew not to put all our eggs in one basket. No. If we were going to destroy Scarlett and tear her from Draco’s heart, then we needed more than just letters. We needed hard evidence, something they could hold, smell and taste. Something very ugly and real and for that, we needed Marcus. The guard towers were near the western side of the palace, it was quiet at this hour as most of the guards had gone off to swap out shifts leaving Marcus alone… just as we had planned. He stood tall and strong as he took off his helmet and removed his sword from his hip. His eyes moved towards us suspiciously as we approached him. Lirah was at the front, Nika was right behind her while I was the last in the line, smiling thinly. I was about to offer him a bargain too dangerous for him to refuse. Marcus wasn’t a fool, neither was he poor. He

Hanna’s POV In every kingdom, no matter how powerful, there are some common traits like deep secrets and over inflated egos. We had gotten our scribe to forge the letters, we had a guard on the ready who could plant evidence but there were still some openings in our plans. We needed someone from Draco’s inner circle, one of those self important men who believed they had the ear of the king and decided to whisper half truths and full lies to him. We needed one of them to make the accusation sink and our sights were set on one in particular, one with the biggest pride and the weakest resolve. “So are we really going with Cedric?” Nika said, as she crossed off a list of names. “I think he’ll be the easiest to convince, it’s not like we have all the time in the world.” Lirah added, “and I’ve seen the way he looks at me, like he’d like to proposition me or something.” “We can use that to our advantage.” I said, with a smile that would make the devil himself proud.Cedric was a roya

Scarlett’s POVI was awake in the early hours of the morning for some reason. I knew that something was wrong, but I couldn’t place what it was. For the first time, I felt too cold around Draco. It was almost as if something was about to go awfully wrong, but I couldn’t figure it out. Was this normal among pregnant women? Getting pregnant and all? I wanted to go around asking all the experienced women in the pack. But I knew well enough that just like the other concubines, they didn’t like me that much. I was the whore that slept in the bed of the same person that killed her parents, brother, and future mate. The words stung every single time I thought about it. “You don’t have to worry about anything,” Draco said, nuzzling his nose into my neck, and I felt him inhale all of me. “We would handle everything.”I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out of my mouth. I felt him pull me closer, and I tried to get myself to relax. I would have kept myself busy with things li
