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
"We need to move faster if we want to get there in time," Brad told Cage. Cage grumbled under his breath. "What was that?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow. "We could have just left them there, you know. I see no reason bringing them with us," Cage said. Behind them was the female wolf they had just rescued. She was still unconscious which was becoming a nuisance to them. They had a mission to accomplish and didn't have the time to cater to a stranger. To top it all, her little daughter was sitting with Brad on his horse comfortably. "And what if they get attacked again? Her mother is still unconscious, Cage. It won't do us any harm to assist them. Once the mother becomes conscious, we could leave them in the nearest town." Cage's expression changed. He looked at his brother with a funny expression. "What?" Brad frowned."You? You are going to abandon them in the closest town?" He asked bewildered. Cage knew his twin brother was softhearted and would never abandon them if they asked
Brad came down from his horse and helped the young female wolf. She had stopped bleeding but was still too weak. He brought her down and carried her into the palace. Cage had already left with Desi. He took her inside as the guards ran to the healer's home to call on him. They prepared a room for the mother and daughter while they waited. The healer rushes into the room, thinking something had gone wrong with one of the twins. He was surprised when he saw them hovering around two girls. "Your Majesties!" He yelled as he entered, calling their attention to his presence. They glanced at the door and saw him."Come on, she's dying!" Brad waves him over. The healer sighs in relief when he sees both of them strong without any injuries. He walked towards the bed and saw the ghastly injury on the young woman. He quickly dropped his things on the ground, opened his medical kit and started working on cleaning the injury so it doesn't get infected. The healing process was too slow, he notic
George growled at his men. They were a weak set of pathetic wolves. He released his dominant aura making them fall to their knees in submission. "What do you mean you could not find her, huh?" He yelled angrily. He watched them quiver in fear while glancing at one other. No one was ready to relay the news to him. They were all scared of his violent temper "I asked you, weaklings, a question!" He yelled again, his anger getting the best out of him. His eyes were glowing and his fangs were protruding out of his mouth. "We…. We searched everywhere, Alpha," one of them stuttered in fear. He walked to him and pulled him up. He could not look at George without trembling. "Everywhere? You searched everywhere?" "Y..ye.. yes, Alpha." He threw him across the room angrily. "No, you didn't. Lara is in this pack. She is in this town. At most, she will be in the woods," he growled. The men glanced at each other but stayed quiet. They knew she wasn't in the woods. "You are all useless. Get my
