Sloane’s POVI stared at the reports scattered across my bed, wondering if I had been wasting my time.For days, I had been investigating Ronita Caleb, trying to find something that could explain why my son had become so attached to her. I wanted to understand who she was, why she looked so much like El-Korah, especially with that hairstyle, and why Dagger believed she teleported.For the first time ever, I wish I hadn't killed someone. If Dagger were still alive, I would have interrogated him properly about what happened that day. Now I'm stuck here with papers and tons of unanswered questions.The more reports I received, the less satisfied I became.Her history was ordinary enough. There was nothing particularly remarkable about her childhood, and nothing that justified the strange feeling I had whenever I looked at her.I picked up one of the reports again. Everything was connecting Ronita to the Star Lycans, but at the same time, nothing was clear enough to be concrete evidence.

Ronnie’s POV“Where exactly are you taking me?”I turned to look at Nolan for the third time since we left the palace.He only smiled, his golden eyes fixed on the road ahead.“Somewhere nice.”“Somewhere nice?” I repeated. “You couldn’t just tell me that before making me dress up like this?”He finally glanced at me, and that smile on his face widened.“You look beautiful.”I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop the smile that threatened to appear on my face.“That’s not an answer to my question.”“It’s the only answer you’re getting for now.”I shook my head and looked out the window.What the heck is he up to? And what’s all these sweetness lately? I stole another glance at him.Nolan had his usual mafia style beard, and his sandalwood scent filled the car. He looked annoyingly good, as usual, and I hated that I was beginning to get used to having him around me like this.Or maybe I didn’t hate it.That was the problem.I was beginning to enjoy his attention more than I wanted to a

Ronnie’s POVWhat just happened?I sat in the car, staring out the window as we drove back to the palace, but my mind was nowhere near the road.One moment, Nolan and I had been having dinner, and the next, he was rushing away from me without giving me a proper explanation.I knew something was wrong.I just didn't know what it was.And the fact that he hadn't returned to the table before I left made everything worse.When I finally got back to the palace, Jessie was waiting for me. The moment she saw me, her face lit up.“Ronnie!” She hurried towards me, her eyes shining with excitement. “Tell me everything! From the beginning to the end. What happened? Did he propose? What did he say?”I stared at her for a moment before letting out a sigh.“I messed up.”Her smile faded a little.“What do you mean you messed up?”“I don't even know, Jessie.” I rubbed my forehead. “I honestly don't know what happened tonight.”I could still remember the way Nolan had looked at me before he suddenly

Ronnie’s POVWhat I had seen from Kim’s memory refused to leave me.I kept sweating profusely as I made my way back to my room.“Faking a stomach ache just to snoop into Kim’s memory and know what they were hiding from me?” I thought out loud as I scurried out of the long hall that led to his office.I don’t know if I should say that I wish I never did that cause the whole thought of Nolan dying came back fresh in my head and refused to leave.The way I had seen him in that Vision.It was way too scary. The only time I had ever seen Nolan that weak was after that arrow attack he had the first time I came to the palace.I couldn’t explain the fear that crippled me.I was very close to the passage leading to my room when I heard my name.“Ronnie!”Jessie appeared a moment later, looking like she had been searching for me for hours.“There you are!” she exclaimed. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Why weren’t you picking up my calls?”I reached into my pocket for my phone, only to r

Ronnie’s POVMy mother’s door fell open, and Lord Desmond stepped out.I froze with my hands on the doorknob for more than a minute.“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Jessie whispered behind me.I didn’t reply to that; I mean, before I even got the chance to reply, he turned towards our direction.“Ronita.” He called with a tone that made what I was seeing feel a lot more uncomfortable.He didn’t waste much time disappearing from the corridor.It was not until he had completely disappeared from the hallways before I finally opened the door to my room. Now, looking in, I suddenly forgot what my reason for coming to my room was in the first place.I turned towards my mom’s room immediately.I totally forgot to knock; I just cracked the door open, impatience feasting on me.The moment her eyes met mine, I froze.For the first two to three seconds, I could see fear in her eyes.“Ronnie?” She immediately called out in that high-pitched tone that always read, ‘all is not fine, but I’m not a
