Chapter 71: The Fear Of Rya

Rya's POV A soft knock sounded on my office door. I looked up, not expecting anybody. “Come in.” I hummed and Vargan walked in. He was the last person I was expecting to see and I was genuinely surprised. “My lord… I wasn't expecting you. And you didn't have to come here, you should have just sent for me and I would have come.” “It's fine. I know I'm sick but everyone doesn't have to babysit me all the time. I can still walk you know.” I laughed. “I'm so sorry my lord.” “Stop this your Lord your Lord thingy! You are now an insider, just call me Vargan.” “No sir. That would be a great taboo. Only people who are truly close to you should call you that. I am just a friend.” Vargan laughed in response. “Friend? You're family now.” “Hmmmn,” I nodded. “Who knew you were such a big softie on the inside when you're always looking all tough and hard on the outside.” “You have to be hard. Especially if you're an old man with nobody else and nothing else but power.” He replied solemnl

Chapter 72: Dealing With The Sick Children

Frost's POV “Alpha, my daughter just fell sick. We were scrubbing our kitchen and she suddenly developed a fever!” “My lord please save my little pup, she's all I have left!” “My lord please have mercy on me. My son is very sick. You need to do something!” I sat at the doctor's office, groaning in frustration as all the mothers of the pack brought in their sick pulp and children one by one crying and wailing my ears off. I’d rather be anywhere but here, attending to anything else but this. But I didn't have much choice. I was the alpha of my pack and my people's plight belongs to me. I was particularly moved by a child whose skin was burning, looking pale with blisters all over her body. “What can be done about these children's sicknesses!” I growled at the doctor on duty. “No… nothing sir,” she replied. “We haven't been able to determine the cause of the disease ourselves and since Rya is not around everything is proving more difficult.” “Incompetence!” I growled in ange

CHAPTER 73: Finding A Durable Solution

Frost's POV "I will have it handled, you need not worry," I replied to him. How would I do that when I am not a doctor, my doctors are incompetent and my people absolutely adored Rya and treated me indifferently. I sat at my office, replaying events of the day especially how Rya swooped in and calmed the store that was raging at the hospital. Now the men have fallen sick too, and the men are very important in this pack. They are people's fathers, brothers, sons and uncles. I looked at the clock and it was getting late. The clock was ticking and every second wasted might result in the death of many. I stormed out of my office just when Elder Thorne was coming in. “My lord where are you going?” “To find a solution.” I replied impatiently. “Are… are you sure that's a good idea? Surely you're not going to Rya's chambers to disturb her at this time.” “That's exactly where I am going and that's what I am doing. Don't bother to stop me.” “But my lord, it's very late and the he

CHAPTER 74: Confronting Frost

Lily's POV “What are you doing here?” Frost asked tiredly. I swallowed, watching the water drip from his dark hair down to his muscular chest and chiseled abs. He looked as tempting and handsome as ever and I wished I could grab him immediately and claim him right there and there, even my wolf was dancing around in the excitement of our chosen mate, but beyond all that I saw how tired he was. How the weight of authority made him look quite older than his age. In the dim light of his room, I could see the wrinkles on his face, and the exhaustion in his eyes. It would have bothered me if I wasn't so mad at him at the moment. “What am I doing here?!” I yelled at him. “Really? That's all you have to say to me.” I shot with every venom in my voice. Frost released a heavy breath. “What is it this time around? What's the matter?” “The matter is that you were seen going into Rya's room this evening. What business did you have there?! What were you doing there, answer me!” “It's

Chapter 75: Confronting My Feelings

Rya's POV It was barely dawn when Lily's soft knock echoed on my door. “Come in!” I answered without a thought. I was already fully dressed and even putting on my lab coat like the professional doctor that I am. The door creaked as Lily stepped in, professionally dressed as well. “I knew it!” She said, not smiling at all. “You are supposed to be resting in bed but look at you, up and ready to work.” “Well, those suck men and children won't heal themselves. Besides I've been thinking.” I replied, walking over to my wardrobe to bring out the secret phones. “What are you doing? And hope it's not what I'm thinking?” Lily said, raising her eyebrows. “We have to call a meeting with our people. I have just found a way to fund the incoming massacre.” “Really?” Lily asked enthusiastically. “Of course, we've been planning for days and this is the last piece that we need to seal the deal. When Frost came to my room last night, he was asking why the men were still sick and I told him

Chapter 76: Not a Date

Rya's POV "What if he does love me?" I pondered aloud unintentionally as I stood in front of my wardrobe longer than I had ever done for any official meeting, any medical emergency, or even pack gatherings. “Which should I go for?!! Damn…” I kept pulling out dresses, staring at them, then pushing them back in like they had personally offended me. “This is stupid,” I muttered to myself. It was just the palace gardens I was headed for a mere conversation with Frost Why then is my heart beating like I was about to face a tribunal? I picked out a deep blue dress first, it was looking classy and nice but then, I pushed it back down, a bit frustrated. After some minutes of indecision, I changed it to a cream one that had a fabric that was too soft. I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed, rubbing my fingers together, confused. Since when did I start caring about what I wore to see Frost? I finally settled on something simple, it was a light grey dress that looked modestly on

Chapter 77 : Lines Drawn

Rya's POV Vargan hasn't fully recovered yet but he was was still undergoing the process, thanks to my seamless skills and medicines. The last time I went to check on him, I promised him another of my freshly made medicine and of course, some fruits. I kept my promise. That afternoon, I prepared a small basket myself, fresh fruits, herbs, and the medicine I had personally mixed for his recovery. Since I started tending to him, his condition had improved, but he was far from fully healed. His body was strong, but illness had a way of humbling even the strongest alpha. When I arrived at his chambers, the guards stepped aside immediately. The guards knew me too well now and I loved the feeling. “Luna Rya,” one announced, even though I haven't been announced Luna. This was one thing that keeps Lily on her toes anytime she hears it. “Let her in,” Vargan’s voice came from inside, it sounded stronger than I imagined from someone who was just recovering. He was sitting upright on

Chapter 78 : Between Duty and Desire

Frost POV The next morning after breakfast, I remained seated long after everyone had left the dining room. Everywhere looked quiet now, no one was seated anymore and the silence burned in my chest. My gaze stayed fixed on the empty chair across from me. The chair where Rya had sat before Lily’s petty display drove her away. I hadn’t followed her when she walked out and that alone sat heavily on me. I swallowed hard trying to shake the thought out, but the more I tried, the more it stayed. My father’s announcement replayed over and over in my mind concerning the postponement of the mating ceremony. The way Vargan had spoken with so much authority, as if he hadn’t just thrown fire into a dry grass. It wasn’t that I was eager to mate with Lily, no! That had never been the problem, the problem was what postponing meant. Lily would not accept it quietly, she never would. She had always been proud, sharp-tongued, and painfully aware of her position. Tonight had only proven wh

Chapter 79: Weakened Resolves

Rya’s POV Our footsteps thudded through the empty corridor, as I assisted Vargan back to his chambers, our pace was slow not to cause him any more pain, and my leaner body held him up. Even though he’d been going on about how strong Alphas were, and how this was nothing, it was clear he was still too weak to handle the things he usually did. But it was more evident with the extra pressure he put when he leaned into me and his irregular breaths that came harder than usual. So even though I wanted to be happy that he was suffering a bit after all he did to me in the past, I was still a bit…worried, no matter how much I tried to deny it. When we finally got to his room and I gently helped him recline on one of the furnished chairs, he grunted and gave me a small smile, one that still rattled me. Then with a grunt, he spoke, “I’m very grateful you didn’t lash out and remained patient at dinner instead of giving her the reaction she wanted. I’m also sorry about Lily’s…behavior.” So I w

Chapter 80: Beneath Thorns

Lily’s POV “I knew it.” My head pounded as I sat alone in my chambers. I was surrounded by scattered parchments, whispered reports with candles burning down faster than I thought. “Hmm.. Rya..” I slide my palm under my chin, shaking my legs and staring into space. Even though the birds sang, it still didn't soothe what was running wild in my heart. I knew something was wrong with her from the very beginning, but I just can't place it. No one arrived in a pack as an outsider and became that loved, that trusted, that indispensable in such a short time without hiding something rotten beneath the surface. No one was that perfect, that selfless and that adored. No! Not her! How could that be?! How could I be left alone just like that? Rya had walked in like a blessing sent from the moon herself, and everyone had swallowed it whole. Of course, everyone except me. I picked up the folded cloth again, smoothing it between my fingers. The servant girl’s words echoed in my mind
