Chapter Sixty One: Broken engagement 2

After dropping the bombshell about ending the engagement Alpha Kane walked out of the chamber without waiting for any responses or arguments from the shocked advisors. He moved quickly through the corridors with his mind focused entirely on getting back to check on Maya’s condition.He reached Maya’s new chamber and pushed open the door to find Jenna assisting the head healer alongside several other palace maids who were helping to care for the injured woman. The room smelled of healing herbs and antiseptic ointments that the healer was applying to Maya’s torn back.Kane stepped inside and his eyes immediately went to the bed where Maya lay face down with her back exposed showing the extent of the damage that had been done to her. Fresh bandages covered most of the wounds but he could still see patches of raw flesh where the whip had cut deepest.“How is she?” Kane asked as he approached the bed.The healer looked up from her work and gave him a reassuring smile. “She will be alright

Chapter Sixty Two: Leave my house

Prisca walked sluggishly away from the pack palace with her whole body feeling heavy and her mind still trying to process everything that had just happened. Her feet dragged along the dirt path and she stumbled several times as she made her way toward her father’s mansion.Her face was tear streaked and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. The bruises on her neck from where Kane had grabbed her earlier had darkened to a deep purple and they throbbed painfully with each step she took.Pack members who saw her walking past whispered among themselves and pointed at her disheveled appearance. Some looked at her with pity while others smirked with satisfaction at seeing the proud woman brought so low.“That’s what happens when you overstep your authority,” one person muttered as Prisca passed by. “She thought she was untouchable because she was engaged to the Alpha.”Prisca ignored all the stares and comments as she focused on just putting one foot in front of the other. The only tho

Chapter Sixty Three: Cast out

“Dad are you serious?” Prisca asked as she stared at her father in disbelief not wanting to believe what her ears had just heard. “You can’t mean that you’re actually going to throw me out of your house.” “You’ve got ten minutes to exit my compound,” Advisor Ralph said without any trace of humor in his voice or expression. “I suggest you use that time wisely to gather whatever belongings you can carry because after that the guards will remove you by force.” Prisca felt like she had been slapped across the face. “Father you are sending me out because your evil plan didn’t go through?” she asked with her voice rising in pitch. “All those schemes you came up with to get me close to Kane and to make me Luna were your ideas and now you’re blaming me for their failure?” “No,” Ralph replied coldly. “I’m sending you out because you are no longer useful to me and I have no reason to keep supporting someone who has proven to be incompetent and reckless.” “How can you say that to your own

Chapter Sixty Four: Secret Rescue

The guards nodded at Advisor Ralph’s command and immediately moved forward to grab Prisca by her arms on each side. Their grips were firm and professional as they prepared to carry out their orders to remove her from the property.“Let me be,” Prisca screamed as she tried to wrench herself free from their hold. “Let me be!”She twisted and fought against them but their strength far exceeded hers and they simply tightened their grip and began dragging her toward the gate. Her bag fell from her shoulder and hit the ground spilling some of its contents onto the path.“I curse the day I became your child,” Prisca shouted back at her father as tears streamed down her face. “I curse the day you brought me into this world to use me as a pawn in your games.”Advisor Ralph stood on his doorstep with his head hung high showing no care in the world for his daughter’s anguished cries. He watched without any visible emotion as the guards pulled her struggling form down the path while pack members

Chapter Sixty Five: Death Sentence

Maya lay down on her chest on the bed in Kane’s room while the healer worked carefully on cleaning her wounded back with liquid herbs that stung and burned with each application. Her whimpers could be heard every time the healer’s cloth touched a particularly deep cut and the sound made everyone in the room tense.Kane stood near the window with his hand balled into a fist so tight that his knuckles had turned white. The room temperature seemed to drop several degrees from the cold fury radiating off him and everybody in the chamber tried their best not to make any sudden movements that might draw his attention or piss him off further.The healer worked as quickly and gently as she could while casting nervous glances at the Alpha’s rigid back. “I’m almost finished with this section,” she said quietly to no one in particular. “Then I’ll need to apply the healing salve before bandaging her.”Maya let out another soft whimper as the cloth touched a raw patch of skin and Kane’s entire bod

Chapter Sixty Six: Saved

“I have to follow orders,” Aaron said as he tightened his grip on the sword handle and prepared to bring the blade down on Prisca’s exposed neck. Prisca used her hands to cover her face not wanting to see the sword coming down to end her life. Her whole body shook with terror and tears poured through her fingers as she waited for the killing blow.“Moon Goddess can you give me a chance to make things right?” she begged inwardly as her mind raced with all the mistakes she had made and all the people she had hurt. “Please I know I don’t deserve it but if you let me live I promise I’ll be better.”Aaron raised the sword high above his head and began the downward arc that would end Prisca’s life. The blade cut through the air with a whistling sound and Prisca squeezed her eyes shut beneath her covering hands.But before the sword could land on her head a loud angry growl sounded from somewhere in the darkness of the forest. Aaron’s head snapped up in surprise and before he could even bli
