All Chapters of VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CAIUS'S POV"Get out!" I yelled at the palace maids in my study.The maids retreated in fear, their eyes wide open in shock as they slammed the door after them.Good. At least there are people who still fear me.I whirled and put fists on the covering of the shelf behind me, glass shattering on the floor. The sound was heard echoing off the walls of my study but was far enough away to stifle the rage in my belly.I was on the verge of losing control as I spun my hand around to whatever was closest at hand. I spotted a golden vase, a gift from the Astyra council, and hurled it into the wall. Shattered into meaningless pieces. Just the way I had planned.Selena and Lucian. They are true mates.Those words continued to go over and over and over in my head like a cruel joke."No," I growled, pacing back and forth like a caged beast. "No. No way. It can't be. It shouldn’t be."It was.I'd witnessed with my own two eyes the bowl radiating the unmistakable scent of acceptance. It had confirm

LUCIAN'S POV"How was your night, Lucian?" The King of Ardyth said with a wide smile on his face as I walked in.I refused to make eye contact with him as I scratched the back of my neck because I knew he was trying to tease me. "Don't ask a question that you already know the answer to."He laughed. "I was hoping to see the great Beta Prince of Lunaroria blush.""Mission accomplished then," I grumbled and folded my arms across my chest. "What in the devil world was so important that you had to drag me away from my mate this morning?"He handed me a piece of paper. "I thought this was something you might be eager to see.” He smirked at me. "Have a look."I looked at the piece of paper. It was the perfect drawing of the rough sketch I had given him of Elira's tattoo- a heart covered in blood with eight knives stabbed into it."I thought you said you have never seen it." I raised my eyebrows at him"Yes," he answered. "I said I wasn't sure of it on first look. But I read over some of the

It took me thirty minutes to get to the moonbound pack at full speed. I drove my car into the Ravenwood compound and took in a deep breath as I stepped out of the car and walked to their main door.I rang the doorbell and the door was opened by Selena’s elder sister. “Your highness.” She bowed and raised her head with a wide smile on her face but the smile dropped when she noticed that I was alone. “Where is Lena?” she asked with a confused look. “Didn’t she come with you? I called to ask how she was doing but she didn't answer the phone.”"She's good," I lied effortlessly. "She’s trying to adapt to the palace. She doesn’t seem like she likes attention though, so it’s quite overwhelming."Darcy’s smile immediately came back on. "Yeah, she doesn't like it when people watch her. Such an introvert."I forced out a tight, unnatural laugh, trying to play along with her. "Is your dad home? I need to discuss something urgent with him." I asked when she gestured for me to come in."He's in h

SELENA’S POVMy eyes fluttered open as I stirred on the soft bed. I looked up at the familiar ceiling and I quickly sat up when I realised where I was; Caius’s apartment. We used to spend time together there when we were still together.‘How did I get here?’ I thought as I climbed down from the bed. The last thing I remembered was being inside the bathtub.I noticed the picture that Caius and I took on our one year anniversary was still sitting on his desk. I had expected that he would have removed every memory of me but he still kept it.Stepping out of the room, I made my way to the living room to find out exactly what was going on. I found Caius in the living room but he had his back turned to me as he talked to someone on the phone."I agreed to marry Elira like you want me to. Why did you have to drag Selena into this mess?" his voice sounded angry as he paced back and forth “It’s me you are after, just let Selena go," he continued. “I don’t have her with me if that’s what you ar

LUCIAN’S POVI walked into my room feeling lost and defeated. Selena was nowhere to be found and Umbraeth has been restored. I was supposed to stop all that but I couldn't. ‘Are we losing our ability?’ my wolf mark asked. ‘Why couldn’t we see that mate was going to get kidnapped? It was obvious they used her to distract us just so Caius could get the other kings to agree to restoring Umbraeth.’“That’s a question I can’t answer myself.” I replied as I wiped my hands down my face. I was about to lose my mind but I didn't have time to break down. I needed to think of a solution quickly.King Aldric left Lunaroria in anger because he couldn’t stop the restoration of the eighth kingdom and he was angry at me for not being there to help him stop it.Just as I was about to pick up the phone and call him, my bodyguard barged into my room. “Your highness, they found your mate.”“What?” I stood up in shock. "Where is she?" I was already making my way out of my room."At the palace gates, Your
