Semua Bab HOW TO CONQUER THE KING OF THE WEREWOLVES : Bab 21 - Bab 30

JUNEUnderneath my door was a letter in scarlet red. I circled it cautiously, grazing my hand over it. I looked once more down the hallway, but no one was there.Who must have dropped it? The question rang in my mind the moment I returned to my room, the lingering thought of Colt leaving me as I tucked my diary carefully back into its box.I dropped the scarlet letter on the bed, still contemplating whether it was safe to open or not. I changed into my nightwear, a cute matching outfit, brushing the full length of my fiery hair while glancing at where the letter sat, unmoving.Was it my new enemies who sent it over?Was it Colt? I mentally facepalmed. Why would Colt send me a letter?I heaved a deep sigh, dragging my feet from the vicinity of the mirror to my bed. What's the worst that could happen, I muttered, tearing the piece open.Inside the letter laid beautifully slanted words:"Behind the veils lies the key."I sighed, letting the letter hit the floor with a light flap. What th

KILLIANBlaise had stormed the palace, furious I’d lost the royal ring. Maids and guards tore through rooms, overturning tables and cushions as if the ring had vanished into thin air. I leaned against the banister, watching with a small, amused pity. They were looking for something that wasn't lost.Eventually, Blaise gave up and decided on a replacement.***Jake, crouched beside me, lacing my boots with trembling fingers. “The Beta would kill me for sure if he finds out I helped you,” he muttered, voice tight with worry.A faint smile tugged at my lips. Jake was always so anxious.“Blaise doesn’t need to find out,” I said smoothly, letting my confidence settle over him. He handed the boots back reluctantly, his hands shaking slightly.“I can spy for you, Your Highness,” he offered, hesitating. “You really don’t have to—”“Thank you, Jake,” I interrupted, taking the boots. “I’ll be fine.”He nodded, unconvinced, but didn’t argue further."Remember. If anyone seeks an audience with me

"Where's that little bitch you call a friend?" Ashley continued as she neared me.Heat coiled low in my chest as I closed the distance between us, unhurried, fists clenched, the pain of my bleeding palm tearing through my skull. "First off, mind the words you use on me... Or I might just make sure you lose your ability to speak."Their faces drained of colour as Jezebel and Rex stepped back, while Ashley maintained her stance, arms crossed."Secondly," I continued circling her, "Lily is not my friend.""Where is she then?" she snapped. "We just need her to tell us what stupid tip she got for this round, that's all... We wouldn't hurt her, I promise, unless she pushes us too."I smiled, stepping forward. This brat just doesn't know when to stop. "She must have gotten across already. And I suggest you shut your little hole and focus on getting a key for yourself... if you so desperately want to grace the Lycan King's bed."A small laugh escaped Rex's throat. Jezebel shot her a death sta

JUNELily started to weigh heavily in my hand as I tried to figure out how to deal with our present dilemma.In front of us was a hulking creature blocking our path. Its jaw stretched wide, fangs jutting unnaturally, glistening with thick, white drool. Its massive paws could easily crush three women at once.Now I understood why Fiona insisted I carry a bow and arrows. Too bad I had dropped mine elsewhere.The beast circled us, low growls vibrating through the ground. Its eyes were pale yellow, fur mottled brown with dark spots, muscles rippling beneath like a living wall of death. Then, with a terrifying lurch, it lunged.A scream caught in my throat as I planted my feet, pressing Lily behind me, my back shielding us from the beast’s claws.I had never expected to end this way, but oh well, we couldn't count on the goddess to always work in our favor.Blood dripped from my side. A sharp blade glittered. I turned swiftly between the beast and what I saw was my Knight in shining armor.

KILLIANMy arm throbbed, blood slicking my sleeve as I hurried toward the first aid kit. The doors slammed open, echoing in the quiet hall.Summoning the palace physicians would only draw Blaise’s suspicion, and no words of mine could convince him I hadn’t been at the trial today."Your Highness," Jake gasped, rushing to my side."Quick. Get me some maids," I barked, wincing as my arm throbbed with each step."What happened to you…? Your arm’s bleeding."I exhaled sharply, forcing my focus past the pain and Jake’s obvious panic. "I know, Jake. Just be quick.""Is the beta back?" I asked, freezing him mid-step."No, Your Highness. A message came, he might be arriving late."Good. That buys me time. "Bring the maids," I snapped, my voice cutting through the tension.Jake returned with three maids, each wearing a shocked expression."One of you should prepare a mild bath for me, another, clean the floor and ensure the clothes are washed. Third, go into the kitchen and fetch me any herbal
