VERALINI couldn't get over the fact that they kept emphasized xaden would use me to the mendes and suddenly the door spun open.Xaden.He walked it and the place became a graveyard. Only that this yard had the attendees excited and relieved.Because when it comes to matters of the state, he only listens to one, Roseline.I was tensed but I didn't show it, didn't even want to dive into what happened between us last night.It was just lust.Roseline stood immediately, sighing as her face brighten up at the sight of xaden.It always did like she had nothing to lose. My wolf bared behind my teeth, her fur shoots out and her eyes narrowed at him like a target.He wasn't even looking at me, didn't take a seat but just stood next to her like she was the important one here.Shouldn't he be beside me? After the claim? But nevertheless, I didn't let that hurt me.When I shifted my gaze to cade, he was just hovering his eyes between me, xaden and Roseline like it was now a family opera.And when

VERALINHe casually said but widened his eyes like the realization dawn on him.It was like the air got knocked out from me as there was silence, thick and ringing in my ears.My legs stepped back like I've been shoved.He looked away first and didn't breathe. I don't think he breathed but then his shoulders armored up."Then why did you have them sign it?"He heaved a sigh, twirled the wristwatch in his arm. He wouldn't even meet my eyes again as he grit his teeth."I did it to protect his claim. To keep the council from borders against him later" he swallowed. "I did so because the eastern people would have gone for a rebel by next Moon"He stood up, straightened his coat and then placed his hands in his pockets. "I don't get to play judge veralin. I get to keep an eight year old alive. That's it"His shoulders hunk when he said that, and I tried to encourage myself.Rather than breaking apart again as he always makes me, I was embracing the files to my chest."But it's still...for h

ROSELINE POVHow far would you go to hold power?Before you call me wicked, before you spit my name like a curse, and whisper in the dark, sit down and listen.I was born an omega. You know what that means? It means nothing. It means you’re born to be bred, to be used, to be thrown away when you’re no longer useful.To worsen it, my wolf was taken away from me, traded to save my brother from dying. But the truth hurts because after he survived, he left me and the pack to cater because he believed he was meant to run a bigger pack not ours.And so I became their ruler.My pack was dying. The winters were killing the children. The alphas from the north were taking our land piece by piece. And the only currency I had was this face, this body, this voice that could sound sweet when it needed to. So I used it. I didn’t want Xaden’s brother. Gods, I wanted Xaden. He was quiet, kind. He was the one who looked at me like I was a person and not a problem to solve.The one who, when the

VERALINShe gave me one last stare that obviously meant bad luck.However, my cheeks were rosy because her little pride was crumbled.I threw my arms around Xaden's waist, resting my head on his back, I felt his skin tingled, that hotness that burnt me and still kept me warm."You'd fine" I whispered, drawing in long breathe.My wolf was proud too as she was in awe."You didn't run away...i must have terrified you" Xaden trailed off, as he rested his palms on mine.I turned my head and when I bent over to have a picture of his face, sadness clouded his features.He huffed, directly fixative at the wall that had nothing but void."Xaden. You didn't terrify me""Yeah you were" he accused raised his arm and pulled me from behind him to his front.I pelted against him, my wolf flattened, less bothered that we were in his arm now."Yeah, I was and just wanted to play a hero" I joked cheerfully. His skin flurried under mind."Playing hero almost cost your life" fuzzied, he gazed unwaivering

"Well, even that mad dog has an owner whom he lags off after" the alpha whispers with pride in his tone.Fervon smirks his grip around the apex of my legs stiffens."And it chooses to bite that owner today..." He paused and then breath deeply "if you don't want to lose your soldiers today, tell them to leave"The supreme alpha chuckled suddenly and then it's replaced by a snicker."You should be afraid of that...beside, I prepared a little surprise...after all this mad dog do have a weakness" he stated as his voice quavers with rage.It's a threat and I don't like where this was going. With every strength I could muster up, I broke out of fervon grip and almost landed roughly to the door if he hadn't held me.My body yanks back to fervon as he swirl me gently around him. I was leaning on him now, my breath softens and my eyes felt like a silence cry will break out."I'm not letting her go, she's not some pawn"Peeping over Fervon's shoulder, I could see that the supreme alpha was wear
