Chapter 21Behind His Resolve He came closer to where I was lying, his gaze solely on me now.I couldn't breathe just by staring closely at him and I wondered what he was doing to me. I wanted to speak but my words died down in my throat, it was harder than I ever imagined and it looked worse. Why him again?! Why did he come again?!Did he feel my pain?! A lot of thoughts were running through my mind and my heart ached from them.His presence loomed without a word, heavy in the silence that followed.He spoke my name like a breath caught between teeth. “What happened now?! What did you do again?!”His voice sounded like someone that was tired already or maybe, frustrated from all the troubles.“I fell,” I replied softly. “It was an accident.”He looked at me with a tightened face as though I did something that no one should. But, why did he care?! Is this even care or something else I was afraid to say?!He dropped down, hovering near me while his gaze moved slowly, first across

Chapter 23Seduce the Alpha Paula froze, staring at me to give her orders. I wasn't expecting anyone at the moment, besides it was late, so who could knock so casually?!Paula's hand was still half-raised from where she had been tucking the blanket tighter around my shoulders.“My lady…” she whispered, her eyes moving over to the door. “Should I… should I open it?”Another knock came again.“Yes,” I said, looking straight at the door as though something bad was about to happen. “Open it.”Paula moved quickly and then she opened the door a bit to see who it was first. “It’s the pack physician,” she said, stepping aside.He entered carrying a small box with herbs in it. “My Luna,” he greeted. “Forgive the late hour.”I nodded, adjusting the blanket. “You’re welcome.”He glanced once around the room, then toward Paula, then back to me. “The Alpha sent for me. He asked that I check on you.”My throat tightened at the mention of Kaius. I swallowed it down.“I’m fine,” I said, even when

Chapter 25Queen Mother's Request “You’re getting obvious, my lord…”That made me turn to look at him, he shifted back a little as though reading my thoughts. He stole a gaze at me and then acted as though he was smoothening his dress. Rafaello had served beside me since before I became Alpha. He had seen me bleed, seen me rage, seen me stand in silence after loss. If anyone could say such a thing without fear, it was him and I knew what he saw and observed was right, just that I wasn't one to admit.“Something happened,” he said, not as a question, but like he was so certain of it.“No,” I replied.He waited, looking at me and turning away at intervals, as though there was something in my eyes. I didn't speak to him either, I didn't need to.After a moment, he nodded to himself. “Adelaide.”“You do not call her name casually..” I said, folding my arms over my chest. He bowed, “I'm sorry my Lord. I didn't mean to sound offensive..” he said and I nodded.“Well… she is.” I finally

Chapter 27Paula's QuestionsThe Queen Mother set the cup down untouched. “Unacceptable.”She turned sharply, boiling with anger. “Kaius does not need calming. He needs focus.”Christine lowered her head. “What would you have me do?”The Queen Mother paced the room once, then twice. “We remind him of duty.”“How?”She stopped. “The council meeting is in two days, correct?”“Yes.”“Good,” the Queen Mother said. “We will raise concerns.”“About Adelaide’s health?” Christine asked.“And her usefulness,” the Queen Mother added. “A Luna who cannot yet produce an heir is a risk.”Christine hesitated. “That may anger the Alpha.”“That,” the Queen Mother said coldly, “is the point.”Christine nodded slowly. “And Adelaide?”The Queen Mother glanced once more out the window. Adelaide had disappeared inside now, but the image of her smile was still there in her mind.“We watch her,” she said. “Closely.”Christine’s voice dropped. “There are rumors, Your Majesty. About her magic.”The Queen Mothe

Chapter 29What Is MineKaius’ POVMy hand stayed on her skin longer than it should have.Magnus was stirring inside me asking me to claim her as always. I couldn't resist her and I couldn't really tell what she was doing to me. “Stop..” I said almost like a whisper to Magnus, trying to stop him from forcing me further, even though I wanted it. “Did you say something?!” Adelaide asked, staring at my face directly.I shook my head, but my hand couldn't leave her skin. I traced my hand down her shoulders and then grabbed her waist like it meant the whole world.I only wanted to pull her closer to myself, but I found myself doing more than I expected. Damn!! What is she doing to my head?! Then I spoke again, looking at her bare shoulders.“Why would you dress like this?” I said. “Do you know what you do….”She froze and that made me stop talking immediately.I looked closely at her face, but I didn't see any form of fear in it, but her reaction wasn't something I was expecting.
