ROMAN POV.I returned to the palace to the awaiting arm of both Xylah and Bryce. "You took so long, why was it so?" She questioned. "Since when did you start watching my movement?" I questioned. "I don't understand," she muttered"I know you send your people after me and I don't like being followed,” I said. “I won't do that again, I only did so because I was worried," She defended. "Is anything the problem?" Bryce asked. “I am reopening the Sophia investigation," I announced, seeing the disbelief on their faces. "But why, she betrayed you, you saw it," Xylah retorted“I only saw what you needed me to see," I said "We will give her a proper investigation," I went on. "What is the cause of this sudden news?" Bryce asked "Because there are now possibilities that Sophia could be innocent," I answered. "I asked you not to torture her, why did you do so?" I asked facing Xylah. "Because she was a criminal," She groaned “I get to decide whether she was a criminal to be tortured or n

That night, my men were well rested and they gathered around them. I only told them the formation and I made Gemma wait here, telling him it was important he watch over the pack while we are away. As my team rode halfway, Dante blocked me with the twenty prisoner's. "You know what to do," I tell them as they nod. I separate my men into two, with Dante leading one. The next thing my men knew was following a different route, to a different pack."Take your formation," I ordered, watching them arrange themselves. "Now we attack and we aim for nothing but victory," I yelled, leading them to attack a pack that wasn't guarded and we raided it. As they fought, I went to find the alpha, going to meet him in his chambers, seated on his throne."You,"he called. "I was wondering who would have the nerve to attack my kingdom," he cursed."The so-called female beta is about to take control of your Kingdom," I muttered, walking to him with my spear."So you plan on killing us one by one?" He que

We were already out of the forest when one of his servants came running to him. "What's wrong?" He questioned as the servant whispered something in his ear.There were a lot of emotions on his face, from plainly listening to a frown and then rage.When they were done, he looked at me and gave me a sweet smile, as if nothing happened. "Sophia, I will be gone for a few days, maybe a month," he stated. "I will be putting you in charge of running this pack and the other packs," he informed me."That's so sudden, where are you going?" I questioned. "There is something I must settle, a debt needs to be collected but I will try to hasten the process," he replied. "Tell everyone I put Sophia in charge and if anybody wants to challenge her, then they have committed treason," he ordered the servant before storming off.Both of us were left shocked as it wasn't something we were expecting. "What did you tell him?" I questioned the servant. "I don't know, a man had come earlier and he put so

ROMAN POV."What's news do you have Xylah?" I asked her. “The poison did touch her it's only a matter of time for me to hear more amazing news," Xylah boasted."Another news is that you won't be staying here any longer.," She replied. "You will be staying back at your former room, the one you shared with Sophia," she went on."Why would you do that?" I questioned, I thought you always wanted me here," I said. "Well things change, you will spend misery in your room, till I show you my grand plan to have power," she snap at me. The next thing I know was guard's escorting me outside. My room was heavily guarded at the down, by guarded I meant both the window side and the door but I only smirk.She thinks locking me here was a favorable thing for her, she doesn't know she did herself more harm than good.I just need to plan the timing of the visiting hours and for some reason, my meal was reduced to once daily and that was in the evening. I had also monitor the night shift, planning the

SOPHIA POV "I killed your parents," Dante revealed, taking me aback. "I got his help to do so," he said pointing at Bryce. "No, that's not true, you can't let him threaten you to lie to me, that's not who you are," I said softly. "You are much smarter than this Sophia," he said. "Why?" I questioned. "You see, I found out that Dante here was a lost relative of yours that wasn't taken care of, he was tattered when I found him and I agree to give him what every man wants," Bryce interfered. "I gave him power, I plotted everything, for his Identity to be known by your parents and foolishly they took him in," he continued. "My parents were killed by rogue wolves," I reminded, as Bryce only grinned, making me gasp in shock. "You are the wolves that control the rogue wolves," Roman muttered. "I think I left out a detail of how I met him," Bryce said. "I met Bryce in the forest, I had saved him from a rogue wolf attack, but not by attacking them, but simply commanding them," He explaine
