We circled each other and he came in hard and fast. He punched me four times in the ribs before I had a chance to lower my arms, and I could hardly believe it when he had me on the floor on my back, trying to flip me over. I rolled over twice and got to my feet. I had severely underestimated him.He had a slight grin on his face, and now, my expression was a Levi one. I watched his hands as he came for me again and landed two shots of my own before he grabbed me in a clinch. I reacted by hitting him with my forehead on his nose. I placed my left leg slightly behind his leg and I knew he would step back when he released me.He lost his balance and I grabbed his left arm as he started tilting backwards, and using his own weight against him, I dislocated his shoulder in the flip, pulling his arm back when he landed on his stomach. I drowned out the noise of the crowd as I pulled both his arms behind his back.“Yield,” he said once, not panicking at all, and Kyle nodded so I let him go.

Adelie looked like herself, the woman I’d fallen in love with in Seward. She’d cut her hair, but instead of her normal jeans and riding boots, she now wore a more sophisticated business suit that made her appear older than she was.“Please, join us,” Sacha said, extending an invitation, and I smiled at him.“You look well, Adelie,” I said, as I chose the seat across from her.“As do you, Your Ma…Kai,” she said, and blushed a little. It felt odd not to be able to touch her, to intertwine our hands and I clenched my fists on my lap as I inhaled her scent.“So, rumors have it that Rupprecht is trying to get this tribunal canceled,” Sacha said, and I smiled.“Because he knows exactly how it will end,” I said to him.Adelie’s eyes were bright, her hair had more shine to it, and she looked healthy and happy. Sacha had said that she was doing well, but I was jealous that he got to see her every day and I didn’t. I was turning into a pathetic idiot.“How have you been, Kai?” Sacha asked me.“

We reconvened in the hall again and took our seats as Adelie was sworn in by Alpha Keller. Rupprecht looked paler than before, and this time, it was me smiling. This would be the end of him. I felt immensely sorry for Adelie to have to relive her trauma in front of all these strangers.“Princess Adelie, as stated by King Kai, were you in Seward on the day in question?” Alpha Steiner asked her.“I was,” Adelie said.“Can you please tell us what happened in Seward?” Steiner asked.“I was sitting with Adara Sinclair when eight rogues in their wolf forms entered the house, two rogues were in their human form aiming firearms at us. Henrik entered the living room and ordered the men to take me. Adara stood in front of me, refusing to let them take me. Henrik said if I went with them willingly, they’d kill her quickly. I heard shots fired and Adara went down as she was shot and Henrik pulled me out of her house,” she said.“Where were you taken then?” Keller asked her.“They took me to the a

“Your Majesty, are you sure this is what you want to do?” Duncan asked me.“It’s the only way,” I said to him. I didn’t feel good about this, but I was running out of options.We were in my office and I had found my answer. I had spent days going over manuscripts and law books, lupiaries, and they all dictated the same thing. It’s not how I wanted to do it but it was the only way to get what I wanted. I wasn’t going to lose everything again.“Of course, Your Majesty, I’ll inform the pilot,” Duncan said, and left my office. I knew he didn’t approve, but I was past the point of caring.“So you’re fine with doing this?” Falcon asked, as soon as Duncan was gone. Falcon hadn’t been silent with his opinion and I’d listened with half an ear. I wasn’t interested in anyone else’s opinion.“What else am I supposed to do?” I asked him.“I don’t know, this just seems so extreme,” he said, as he stood up from the couch where he was sitting.“Where did Tala disappear to?” I asked him, trying to cha

“Your Majesty,” a man said, as I stepped off the helicopter two hours later, followed by Carter and Dr. Foirbeis. Carter stood in front of me and looked at the man who was slightly bewildered at our arrival.“Name,” Carter said to him.“Charles, I’ll announce your arrival to the king,” he said, and bowed his head.“Thank you, Charles,” I said.We followed him from the helicopter towards the stately house’s entrance. It wasn’t a castle or a palace, but more like a large country house.“Your Majesty, what an unexpected surprise,” Adelie greeted me at the door. She couldn’t meet my eyes.“We should talk, preferably with your brother,” I said to her.“Please don’t,” she said so softly, that I doubted if anyone else besides me heard her.“Kai!” Sacha’s loud voice carried down the hall as he strode towards me with a huge smile on his face, “I heard some cheeky royal arrived unannounced on my doorstep.”“Good to see you too, Sacha,” I said with a genuine smile, as we shook hands.“Let’s reti
