31: The final truth

Caspian's POVWhen the second vase came crashing down, I knew I was losing it.My wolf growled in my head, refusing to rest until everything was leveled to the ground, the entire room that had once been a sort of succor to me now feeling like a prison.How the hell could I even bear to live like this?!" My king, you have to calm down and we can find a way to get to the bottom of this" callum, who has been standing in a corner of the room, watching the whole scene unfold slowly said.My gaze slowly turned to him, a deep seated feeling of helplessness weighing in my chest as I plopped onto the bed." You think she did it too don't you?" I finally asked.He shrugged." She seems to be the kind to do something like that. She has the motive, she had the time, and she is not very liked by the pack. It seems like a perfect revenge plot"I nodded.I knew everyone thought she did it. That was why I allowed her to be taken to the dungeon because it felt like when it came to her, my sense of ju

32: A planned plot

Morgan's POV The dungeon was just as I had expected. Cold with that sense of dread that crawled through the skin making it unable to even close your eyes for a second.The air smelt like decaying corpses and feaces, the occasional groans I got from a cell two steps away telling me that this dungeon still has some forgotten occupants.At first, I did not seat. There was no where to sit except I wanted to seat next to the venomous rats and the feaces of the past occupants that now probably made up the corpses.But eventualiy, fatigue won and I found myself sitting on the dirty ground with that beautiful red dress I had promised myself to wash and keep for the memory.I did not know when the tears started to fall, slowly at first until I was weeping, sobbing so hard that my whole body felt like lead, heavy and unmoving." First time being in a cell?" A voice called.I stopped, perking up as I listened.It was coming from the far right corner of the dungeon, close to me but I could not r

33: Her punishment

Amara's POV Morgan that bitch!!!She has finally managed to win everyone to her side, even Moreno the queen of war?!How the hell did she even do that?The door opened abruptly and I went back to the pitiful mood I was supposed to be embodying, my heat pounding in my chest." Have you packed up your things?" He asked, barely noticing me.I sniffled, drawing closer to him in the hopes that it would awaken something in him, anything." Caspian. Please, our wedding was supposed to be today and I acknowledge my faults. I know it was very wrong for me to do all that but please Caspian. Please let's talk about it".He let out a low scoff before pushing me off of him like I was mere trash.My butt hit the floor hard and a searing pain spread through my limbs.A whimper left my mouth, adding further to the pitiful state that I wanted him to take pity on but for some reasons, it just wasn't working on him.I kept my frustration at bay as I started crying, wailing until he yelled at me to stop

34: His wants

Morgan's POV I noticed the first change when I went to get a clean cloth to mob the floors. It was subtle at first, not really obvious if you were not looking for it, but it was there. "Have you had something to eat yet? You should get something to eat first before you start working. It can make you sick if you skip meals like that" the head chef had said. I blinked wildly, turning to look at her in surprise and maybe a bit of fear. " What?" She hummed, casting me one short embarrassed look before turning back to the pot of beef soup she was making. "Grab a piece of bread from the counter and bring a plate to take a bit of soup. This is for dinner late tonight but breakfast is all gone so you can have this first" I still refused to believe that she was talking to me. It felt almost surreal to imagine that the woman that hated my guts and would rather see me perish and shrivel into dust was now telling me what to eat? Impossible. Regardless, I followed her instructio

35: The Black Death

Caspian's POV I knew this was a very slippery pit that I was letting myself slide into but I just could not stop myself. I watched her eyes glower with surprise and then confusion as she took another step backwards, greatly displeasing my wolf but I did not say anything. " I don't seem to catch your drift" she finally said. I did not understand what I was thinking either. My head has been a jumble of emotions ever since the whole solstice happened and even though I had tried to downplay the effect she had on me, it was now clear to me that Caitlyn and I bond did not even come close to this. "What im trying to say is...maybe we can work something out. The both of us can decide to have something more than what we have now" She scoffed. "Oh. You mean sex..you want to use me for sex now?" Her tone was sharp. Sharper than I had known her for and that was when I realized the words did not come out right. "No no...not that. Not in that sense." My wolf purred, I stopped.

36: A continued marriage

Morgan's POV The blush did not wane from my face until I splashed water on it, my body still jittery with the shock. What the hell was I doing? Thinking that I could suddenly be with him? Would that not be me wishing for a heartbreak that could be prevented? I pushed the thoughts aside, sliding into the gown I had carefully picked from my wardrobe to attend the wolf ball in. He said he wanted something with me. Not me. He said that. So I did not have to punish myself with thoughts that would hurt me. "Wow you look gorgeous. I'm starting to think I should have asked you out on a date" Nathan said as he knocked once, entering my room and staring at me to brush my hair. My lips immediately dried up. He had seen something when he walked in and I was not sure just how much he saw. "Nathan....what you saw..." He rolled his eyes, stopping my mini tirade. " Oh don't bother. I already knew you were both mates from the first time I saw you both together. You were both not be
