The king is dying

Celeste POV.Fuck!I shouldn't have been that loud!I just couldn't help it. I hated Shantel, but the the venom in her voice when she swore to kill me sent chills down my spine.She was still standing fixed to the ground, but I saw her head pivot all the way to the back, her cold eyes meeting mine immediately."Who's that?!"I immediately turned and hid the behind the door before she would make out who I was.This wouldn't do.I heard footsteps approaching, and without thinking twice, and dashed from the behind the door and raced to my room, looking the door behind me and panting heavily like a rabid dog."Shouldn't you be sleeping by now-""Ahh!!!", I shrieked and almost jumped out of my skin from that voice behind.I turned and I immediately froze to the ground."This..."This couldn't be true.I had to be hallucinating.That was the only logical situation for the horror that my eyes were witnessing right now.My chest began palpitating again. The cold wind that came in from the ope

Who is he meant for?

Celeste's POV.I could feel my breath begin to shorten, and I was more terrorized at how unfazed Shantel was, with the sudden chaos that was happening behind that door."Wh... What did you do Shantel?""You have no idea who I am, right?""Who the... Who the fuck are you?""I'm the last person you should've messed with. You should've picked another fight, Celeste.""Cassian isn't meant to be with you, you witch!", I tried to find the same strength I had last night, but I couldn't find it."And who is he meant for? You?"I almost choked on my spit with the sudden question. "Wh... What? Are you insane? Cassian's my-""Stepbrother, I know. At least that's what it's meant to look like. But I know love when I see it...""You're being delusional, Shantel. And your father's dying outside for goodness sake!!""He looks at you the same way he looked at me when he loved me. He's always trying to prove something to you. He treats you the same exact way he did when we were together. I almost concl

False Accusations

Celeste's POV.The whole room went pindrop silent and eyes began searching where that absurd allegations came from.I swerved to follow the eyes of everyone and I couldn't help but step back at the shocking sight of Shantel coming out of the kitchen - scarred and sliced at different places on her body.My wolf immediately sensed something wasn't good. I didn't know what the hell she was up to, but it wasn't good."What did you just say?""It's Celeste!", She cried even louder with tears of pain flowing down her eyes. "She was the one who did this to our fathers!"I was too astonished to even speak for myself.Cassian sized her up for a very brief moment before turning to one of his trusted men. "Call another ambulance and ask them to come with a therapist. While you're at that, bring in the spiritual-""Cassian!!", Shantel yelled in rage and frustration. "So you don't believe me?!! You think I'm crazy?!! Your so-called loving stepsister was the perpetrator of this murder attempt!! She

Interrogation

Cassian's POV"What's the update? Are they alive?"I heard Lucian heave a sigh to make me expect the worse case scenario."Father is still alive. He's barely surviving, however. The doctors are doing their best to take the poison out of his system, but they're having a hard time doing that without unsettling his already fragile system. They're making progress though. Last I checked, he was out of the woods."I didn't like my father much, but the thought of him dying such a tragic death scared the fuck out of me. So the information he relayed to me was a doze of relief."And how about Shantel's father?"The silence that over the phone made me unsettled."Lucian. I need an answer.""He died an hour ago."And just like that, the sense of relief I had was snatched from me. How the hell was I going to relate this news to Shantel?How tattered was the reputation of Silvermist pack that a man as influential as Perseus came to have breakfast, and he ended up dying from poison?"Make sure tha

What is more traumatizing?

Cassian's POV.The whole room went silent immediately he made that stupid move."Answer my fucking question!! Do you think he's going to save you?!! You killed our boss, and you're calling the so-called prince to come to your aid, acting like I don't exist?!! Are you mad?!!", He boiled with rage, his veins threatening to burst out through his veins as he yelled.I stood there, contemplating my next move. I could feel my fingers twitching, and I did nothing to stop the trigger. My throat began patched immediately, and water wasn't going to quench this sudden thirst in me.Surely, this bastard did not just lay his hands on Celeste.My Celeste...He told me he was going to ask a few questions. Now there was a change of plans?By the time Celeste raised her head from the attack, the right side of her face was red and swollen. I could see tears of pain flow down her eyes as she fixated her pleading gaze on me."Cassian, your opinions matter the most to me. Do you think I did it? Do you-"T

Do you love me?

Cassian's POV.I saw the anger in her eyes fade into thin air, growing pale at my revelation.She stared at me like she'd seen a ghost. "Wh... What did you say?""Calm down, Shan-"A chilling wind surged through the open window and her feeble legs gave in, causing her to lose her balance and stagger. I had to rush to catch her to stop her from falling to the ground."Th... This cannot be happening", she muttered in a shaky, breathless tone. "Shantel you need to calm down. I know it's a lot, but you need to breathe-""A lot?"She pivoted and faced me with red, teary eyes that were filled with hurt and anger. "A lot? My father dying is "a lot" to you?""You know I didn't mean it like that-""That was exactly how you meant it!", She pushed me away as far away from her as possible even though she found it hard to stand on her own. "My father was life! The only family member I have, and the one person who loved me genuinely!! And you think it's a lot?!! You think I should calm down?", She

Gossips

Freya's POVThe rumors were becoming increasingly rampant, to the point where I couldn't ignore it."The princess is a murderer...""She's also a witch, because there's no other logical reason as to why she doesn't want the prince to get married...""If Alpha Theo had known, he would never have married her mother...""I hear he's on the verge of death too..."I didn't know where they got their news from, and I knew that that most of pack members had a specialty in gossip, so I didn't bother to let the news to me.At first.People began looking at me weird and started pointing fingers of accomplice when I enter the central market yesterday evening."Is that not her friend?""It's indeed she. What if she's a part of the screw job?""What if? It's without saying that she is! A girl from a very humble background whose mother is working tooth and nail to make ends meet, and you think she's not a part of it?""I'm sure she has a hand in the murder. You know how poor people are driven by gre

Strange woman

Freya's POV.It was past five in the morning. I was the only one on the street.It was still pouring down, so it was hard see anyone near or far.Hearing a voice in the mix of the pouring sound of rain startled the hell out of me.Instinct warned me not to turn back. It warned me to heighten my pace back home, or better still - run.But for some weird reason, I felt myself halting to a stop.I slowly turned back to the direction of the calm question, and I soon found myself standing in front of an strange woman.It was dark and wet, so I could make out the details of her face, but I was stunned by the flowing white hair that covered her shoulders and half of her back. I could somehow tell she was a middle aged woman, even though I couldn't find a single wrinkle on her body. She wore black flowing gown that had beautiful lustrous ornaments that shined despite the moody rain.I wasn't just wet.I was beaten and battered by the merciless cold rain. I was soaked from the crown of my head

Flashback

Freya's POVFIVE HOURS AGOAs I sat drenched in the chilling darkness, I replayed the voice recording of the call for the seventeenth time, staring at the phone as my eyes perked in disbelief.This couldn't be...I couldn't believe this...I remember hearing bits of the conversation, but I didn't know the full details of the confrontation was this scary. She planned to kill Cassian alongside every single person in the royal family just for her to take over the pack and the whole wolf realm? How deep had her greed for power and tyranny eaten into her that she was more than ready to do anything just to get to the top, even if it meant ending the life of important people?I couldn't let this go. This was more than enough evidence to save Celeste from death.The logical part of me made it glaringly clear that there was no way I would be able to get even the first line of royal security. It would be for me to get past the gate, especially with Shantel on the hunt for me to make sure she
