Thornwood stepped aside, leaving the cell door open but I didn't move an inch.He raised his eyebrow and stared at me patiently, as if he expected me to obey without question.If there was one quality that I was sure of that Thornwood possessed, it was patience. He carefully strategized before striking.“Where are we going?” I asked as I tried to sound firm. It was the best that I could do.If I trembled at the sight of him or at whatever he said, that would make me seem like an easy target.It doesn't mean that Thornwood dared not attack me but if I hid my fear well, he wouldn't think that I was a pushover.“Somewhere we can speak without interruptions,” he responded and my stomach tightened.In my previous life, Thornwood preferred both private and public conversations.He was skilled at twisting someone's words whenever he wanted and however pleased him.I locked my fingers and pressed my sweaty palms against my stomach and stepped out of the cell.Two guards stood several feet awa

I couldn't stop thinking about what I had overheard. Ronan had told Lucien that we were mates.For some reason, that disturbed me more than I wanted to admit.I paced around my room, folding and unfolding my arms as Celine watched my thoughts from the back of my mind."He trusts Lucien; that was the reason he told him about us," Celine said.“I know, Celine.”He had spent all this time hiding our bond from everyone. He called me his assistant, his servant, even his subject whenever he wanted to remind me of the difference between us.And the more I thought about it, the more irritated I became.I needed an answer, so I left my room. Thankfully, it didn't take long to find him.Ronan was standing on the balcony outside the main hall, his back facing me as he stared at the compound.I walked toward him. “Why did you tell Lucien? " I asked."You said you trusted him but I don't believe that; that is the only reason why you told him," I added.His shoulders stiffened. He didn't turn aroun

I tossed restlessly as I lay on my back and looked up at the ceiling. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead.I couldn't get a wink of sleep. All that I could think of was who entered my room.Even though I asked, who would be concerned enough to give me a sincere answer?Leah?What if she wasn't present and knew nothing? I wasn't sure, and I didn't want to implicate her either.I sighed and ruffled my hair in frustration "What if it's not one person?" Celine asked, and I immediately winced as my headache worsened.I never thought of that.I closed my eyes, but all I could see was the displaced necklace.Thornwood and Iris are the two people I was sure were ready to get rid of me at every chance they got.Could it be Iris?But she has no authority in this house.I checked the door twice before going to bed, yet I couldn't stop myself from glancing at the door at intervals.Somewhere at the back of my head, it felt like someone would badge into my room."How do we catch the person?" Cel

SELENA'S POVI woke up the next morning with one thought in my mind. I had to stop acting like someone afraid.If Ronan were truly behind everything happening to me, showing him that I suspected him would only make things worse.If he wasn't, I needed to find out who was.Either way, I couldn't afford to make another careless move.So when Ronan summoned me to his office that morning, I walked in with a smile. "Good morning, Alpha.”Ronan looked up from the documents on his desk and stared at me for a moment.“Good morning,” he responded, a bit unsure.I stood in front of him. “You asked for me?”“Yes, I did."He pointed toward the pile of documents beside him. “I need you to sort these documents according to priority before the council meeting.”I nodded immediately. "Of course.”He raised his eyebrows slightly. Confusion flashed through his eyes, and I could tell it was because I was suddenly compliant.I picked up the documents and shifted my gaze back to him. “Anything else?”Rona
