Thea's skin was directly illuminated by the moonlight. She observed the stars as she stood at the hallway's entrance. After a short while, she made the awkward decision to return inside and join the party, which continued despite everything that had happened. The sound of someone crying suddenly made her step back. "Who's there?" She asked as she descended the steps,Thea worriedly sought for whoever it was which could probably be a woman. she saw princess Lilith Crow as the sobbing endlessly, cooking herself in-between the gigantic flower vase."Lilith?." She called."What happened to you?." She inquired, concerned. Theadora leaned down and sat beside Lilith who was obviously sad. "You shouldn't be wailing after rejecting your mate without thinking twice. You are the one who made such a decision." Thea blurted, making Lilith stare at her."What is it to you? I cannot accept someone who isn't up to my standards. I am a princess." "I am also a princess Lilith. Regardless, I once wish

Ethan was awoken by the sun rays which hit his face directly through the small opening in the window. He roamed his fingers through Thea's part of the bed and he discovered that it was just empty rough bed sheets and Thea was out of bed, Realizing that he was alone, Ethan jerked up from the bed. ‘Where had Theadora gone?’ He questioned himself rhetorically. Ethan wore his clothes and left the room. His intention was to go find Thea, but he surprisingly came across Kain outside the room. It seemed as though he had been awaiting him for a long time. "Your majesty." Kain greeted. Ethan walked past him in a hurry and Kain trailed behind him instantly. They both reach his study room and Ethan settles on his seat. "Where's Theadora?." Ethan asked,"She had been up for quite a while now, I saw her earlier at the courtyard.""Alone?.""No, she was accompanied by a guard." "Better." Ethan said."I found this from last night's attack." Ethan brought out the map from the drawer where he had k

He rushed towards the bed and knelt down, "Father, I'm sorry, I arrived just now. I have been a bad son." Gregory cried.Gregory hadn't been in the palace for over a month, he conducted a journey to a pack in the South. After his many years of travel around the world, Gregory lost interest in everything concerning his kingdom ever since he wandered around the world. He preferred to travel and discover useful things. Alpha Edward was very angry at him for not performing his filial duties as a prince.It took an hour later for Alpha Edward to regain consciousness. Ethan could finally leave after everything. He had to make sure that Alpha Edward would be alright before he embarked on a journey back to the kingdom.He arrived later the next day, his horse had fallen sick on the way so Ethan had to stop for it to rest. He went to the silverclaw without any escort. He didn't want to raise an alarm, causing assassins to attack since someone was still after him. He still had to investigate th

Thea stood up from the bed when she woke up, Ethan wasn't in the room with her and it was his first time to wake up before her. She had always been the one getting up before him in bed.Theadora slipped herself into a flimsy nightwear and she headed out of the room to find him. She could suddenly feel that something was wrong somewhere and for the first time in her life she was worried for Ethan. It was in the middle of the night, most of the guards were not in their duty post, Thea walked alone in the dark corridor as most of the candlelight had gone out. She reached the front of Ethan's study, inside, she could hear voices of men discussing. It was between Ethan and another man. She couldn't recognize his voice so she guessed that it was a stranger. Thea tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, they didn't seem to be discreet about their discussion as they talked with their voice normally. Thea wanted to leave them and head back to her room until she heard her father's name. Alpha

His burial was conducted on the 7th day after his death, before he died, he had requested to be buried close to Thea's mother. That was the first time that Thea would see her mother's thomb. All these years she had been angry at her father because he claimed to have thrown her mother's dead body away because she died from a communicable disease and they didn't want it spreading around the soil. Instead, he had build and secured a secret room where she would be buried. This gave Theadora more reasons to cry for having misunderstood her father for so many years. She wished he had explained to her so she would seek his forgiveness."Why did father do all these?. She asked Ethan while they were both in the room."Alpha Edward is a clever man, I think he was just looking out for you. You grew up a strong woman because you assumed that he hated you." Ethan explained."He should've still told me the truth, I wouldn't have misjudged him." "And you didn't, look Theadora,I fully understand how
