The crown was decorated with different sizes of diamonds, and in the centre rested a blood-red stone. Which most definitely was not a ruby. Nik held it from the top part and rested its end on the ground. After that, he took another sceptre from a female slave and handed it to me.

"Don't look so scared babe. The worse he'll make you do is fuck him. It might be pleasurable depending on-" Losing all his sense of his cool, war let go his mate and his cool demeanour flew out the window and into Trent's face. The blow to his packmate forced the large in height and width man to stumblya few feet backward. A sickening crack sounded.

I knew it was the Scepter I was after since I remember seeing the same markings around Purgatory. Stepping forward, I carefully opened the glass case, holding my breath as I wasn’t sure if there was an alarm or some sort of trap.

The wall vibrated and disappeared beneath the floor, revealing a secret chamber. In the middle of it was a pedestal, a small scepter made from a metal similar to silver lay on top of it.
