George cracked open his eyes and glanced around. Where was he? He looked at the familiar room and immediately recalled he had gotten home before giving up. He tried to move but ended up groaning with pains. What the hell did they put in his back? It hurts. He closed his eyes and tried to stifle the scream that was about to come out. After a while, the pain was gone and he opened his eyes again. He opened his eyes to his Father, staring at him. He quickly looked somewhere else. Alpha Robert watched his son in pain but didn't feel an ounce of compassion for him. He needed George to be strong. He was too weak. How could he come back looking like an animal? "How was the trip that made you leave your position as an Alpha? How was the experience? Was it enjoyable?" He asked his son. George couldn't look at his father in the face. He regretted ever accepting Lara as his mate. He should have rejected her the day he found out she was his mate.He wished he could go back in time. All these
What is going on, Brad? Your expression is scaring me," she told them. He hugged her out of nowhere.Kyla came into the throne room and couldn't believe what she was seeing. What were they hugging Lara? She is one of them! Cage turned to Kyla and smiled at her. She nodded her head although she was still confused. Did she just make them get closer to their mate or what? "Brad now is not the time," Cage told him. Brad pulled away from her. "How did you find out?" Brad asked him. Cage pointed at Kyla. "She did it. She found the man responsible for our tears and also the whereabouts of her cousin," Cage said proudly. Lara turned to her, shocked. "You found where my father and Max are?" She asked again. Kyla nodded. That was not the cause for celebration though. They needed to strategize on how to attack the Alpha before he attacked them again! "Who is he? Tell me, who the bastard is!" Brad asked Cage but Cage shook his head. "Kyla, tell them what you told me." Kyla came Forward.
Cassandra glared at Lara but frowned. Was she speaking about the gemstone she had shown her? Her hands immediately went to her neck as she held onto it. Ted glanced at Cassandra. "Cassandra showed you the gemstone?" Lara nodded, looking at him hopefully. "And it once belonged to your mother?" "Yes, her name was Evelyn," Lars whispered. Ted frowned, unable to understand how she came to that conclusion. His mum was a werewolf, he knew but he didn't know she had a child. A girl. Her words were confusing. A gemstone can't be the only evidence to support her claim. "Do you have any other evidence?" He asked her. Lara frowned and shook her head. She was scared but determined to convince him. The Kings might make a decision that would hurt her but she is willing to prove her innocence. If Ted could be beside her, she would be confident. Her hands shook. "It's true, Ted," Cage's voice rang out from behind Cassandra. They turned to the voice. Cassandra's eyes widened and her eyes were
Everything was going wrong and there was nothing Ted could do to assist. Cassandra was punished by flogging. The Kings took pity on her and had her flogged. Lara was locked in her room and no one apart from Desi was allowed inside. No one was telling him anything. He hated being in the dark but couldn't confront the Kings to ask about her. He went to Kyla. At least, she must have an idea of what was going on in the palace. For all he knew, the Kings loved and cherished Lara. Locking her up seems suspicious. As he got to her house, Alyson opened the door. "Sorry for coming unannounced, I would like to speak with Kyla." Alyson was surprised to see the General at her door. She nodded. "Please come in," she waved, taking a step back for him to go in. Ted entered the house. Alyson offered him a seat before going to their room to inform Kyla of her guest. A few moments later, Kyla came out. "This is new," she said as she sat in the opposite direction from Ted. He sighed. Never have be
It wasn't what they wanted. Cage glanced at his brother. They needed Ted to get evidence for them else they'd have no choice but to put her in the dungeon for conspiracy. Kyla already knew about it and so did her mate. It was only a matter of time before the Noblemen heard about it. They needed someone they could trust. Ted was the only one capable of doing it. He wouldn't want his step sister to get hurt. He was a loyal Lycan. "I will try my best," he said and stood up to leave."Also, I'd like to know if she has been in communication with anyone outside the kingdom," Cage added. "Do not let Kyla know about this. She already suspects Lara and wouldn't believe otherwise," Brad told him. He nodded and left. "Is this necessary?" Brad grumbled. "Yes, we have to get ready to attack before he sends his men over," Cage explained. "Lara is the only one who knows the way to her pack. She could lead us to either a trap or to victory." Brad sighed. He didn't like this. *****************
Dad, wait for me," Lara cried out. The little girl didn't know what was happening but she was scared. Wilbert turned to his daughter with tears in his eyes. He does not regret his decision but had to leave the pack for now. He bent down and opened his arms wide to hug his daughter for the last time. She ran to him, wrapping her arms around him. Lara is still a nine year old girl but she understood that her parents' lives were in danger."Don't worry, sweetie. I'll come back for you," Wilbert told her. She shook her head, scared. "I don't believe you. Mum said the same thing and I have not seen her in over a week," Lara cried out. Her words stung Wilbert and he tried to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes. "Please, just stay here. You have Alpha Robert and a lot of children here to play with you. I'm going for a job and it'll be boring for you," he tried to convince her. Wilbert knew running away with his daughter could lead to her death which was why he wan
"You bitch!" George yelled while hitting her. He kicked her abdomen and laid hits upon hits on every part of her body. Lara tried covering her face as her mate hit her. She didn't scream nor did she cry. She had become numb to his beatings. Did they hurt? Yes, but she found out that crying and begging him only made him more angry. George hated the sight of his mate. She reminded him of her mother, the evil wench. With fury, he relentlessly stomped on her. His anger intensified when he noticed she wasn't crying and begging him. "You think you could steal from me! I'll kill you!" He yelled. "I didn't," Lara begged in a weak voice. She couldn't fathom how a little misplaced jacket could make George so angry that he was hitting her like his enemy. While he kept on hitting her, she silently prayed that her daughter wouldn't come home at that moment. George glared at the distasteful sight of his mate. His inner wolf was protesting, hating to see his mate hurt. But George didn't care. T
She heard her name faintly and tried to open her eyes. There was a throbbing pain in her cheek. "Mummy, mummy," she heard her daughter's voice and her eyes flew open immediately. "Desi?" She called out. Desi sat on the floor watching her mum. Lara stood up from the floor in search of her mate. "Where's your father?" She asked Desi."He left," she answered. Lara felt something cold on her face and touched her nose. There was blood pouring out from her nose. She ran to the bathroom and tried to wash it off. Some drops of blood had already stained the white gown she wore. She didn't care and raised her head after washing her face in the sink. Lara froze. Her face was swollen. With trembling hands, she touched her face. It seems now was the best time to run. It was already dark and while she didn't know where to go, she knew she couldn't stay any longer.With determination brimming from her eyes, she went back to the room. She brought out her bag and went through it. It was still inta
