VENUSMy heart skips. One glance is all it takes for his eyes to widen slightly. His gaze finally lifts to mine. "I don’t have any words to describe what I see."My heart does an embarrassing little flip.Sid groans. "Get a room." The two women immediately walk ahead, leaving me with him. I look back at Rowan. “You were waiting for me?” He hums. “I wondered if you’re okay so I came to check.” "What if I wasn't fine and decided to not attend the party?" I ask quietly.He raises a brow and his answer comes without hesitation. "Then I'd stop the banquet." His hand finds mine. "I don't care about the banquet." His thumb brushes gently against my skin. "I care about you."Warmth spreads through my chest. The reason I had the courage to not give up is because of him. I know he won’t leave me alone in all of this and even if no one stands for me, he will. I squeeze his hand. “Let’s go.” We walk back toward the ballroom. The doors open and conversation in the hall dies instantly. A colle

VENUS“It’s nothing to worry about but a premature bond between your wolf and pup can cause complications when you shift before your pregnancy.” My heart leaps into my throat. “What?!” “When you shift, your body goes through a lot of physical and hormonal changes. Usually, it’s not a big deal. But when a life is growing inside you, the rearrangement of the bones and the changes in hormones will affect the embryo’s development. It’s like when you rearrange a room, you have to move things around. Too much movement or pressure on your womb during that shift can cause complications.” My face turns pale. “W-will my pup be in danger?” “Don’t worry. These complications tend to happen in unshifted pregnant women so we can handle it. All you need to do is keep a nurse around you. Usually it's difficult to predict when you’ll shift so keeping one around will help you during that circumstance. Also tell someone to contact me as soon as you prepare for shifting. In case you don’t shift, there

VENUS“Calm down, Thane. Blaming the King for a false accusation is a crime.” Nana warns him. Thane scoffs. “We found one of the men who attacked my wife. Turns out it was a royal warrior. After a few punches, he revealed the person who sent him.” He gives Rowan a bloodshot stare. My blood turns cold. The man who was interrogated took Rowan’s name? But why? Rowan narrows his eyes. “He’s lying. I have no intention to hurt your wife.” Thane starts laughing humorlessly. “Oh really? Yesterday, you literally threatened her just because she pushed your fiance. Sounds like you have enough motivation to hurt her.” The people around the table are shocked to hear it. “Is it true, Your Grace? Did you threaten Lady Maya?” Gerald asks with a look of disbelief. “It was a simple warning. She caused harm to Venus so I warned her that next time there will be consequences. That’s all.” Rowan says flatly. “Oh, but you didn’t wait for the next time, did you?” Thane accuses him. “You decided you’d

VENUSI look at Rowan who’s listening to all of this with a cold expression. He remains silent because he knows defending him won’t lead to anything. Thane will push the council to run an investigation either way so all we can do is wait and watch. But I wished I hadn’t waited. Because what comes next flips my world upside down. A week later…The council meeting room… Oscar walks into the room with a grim look on his face. “We did some investigation and we found some important evidence that…” he clears his throat, “points towards His Majesty’s involvement in Mallory’s escape.” My chest tightens into knots. “What?! That can’t be it.” Thane suddenly sighs. "I wish it was."I whip around. He looks troubled but I can tell it's fake. I already hate that expression.Another council member named Andrew taps something on his table and a large screen on the wall comes to life.Security footage appears. I frown. It's Silver Fang's prison.The timestamp reads:2:17 a.m. 15th JuneThe camera

VENUS“I’m sure we’ll find enough evidence with this,” Sid says, looking hopeful now. “Yes but we need to be patient,” I advise. “Because of the sudden change, things are a mess in the castle. We must be careful.” “Roger that, Captain." Alex says and I roll my eyes. I take a deep breath. "We're proving Rowan's innocence."I feel my wolf stir again. “We must…protect him.” Her voice echoes in my head. I can feel her more closely now. I guess this is what Susan meant when she said my wolf has grown her conscience. She can communicate to me clearly at times. Usually a person can’t hear their wolf until they shift, because until that time period, the wolf grows inside and doesn't have any conscience. But my case is rare, where I can sometimes hear her speak though I haven’t shifted yet. I place a hand on my protruding belly. Once when I was framed, Rowan took a stand for me. Now it’s my turn to return the favor. —--------------------------------------I push Rowan's office door open
