Third POV. Thinking about what happened on that day, Leila diverted her gaze cause she could tell what that meant. If it weren’t for the ambush, she would have been a queen now and already marked and maybe, mated already. Thinking of all this, Leila’s face turned red.Seeing her face turning as red as a tomato, Brad chuckled.“Hope you do believe us now. We love you. Even though it hasn’t been even a week since we found each other, we already love you. Guess that’s how the mate bond acts,” Brad said with a grin on his face.Leila felt as if Brad was making fun of her thus she glared at him.“If what you are saying is the truth then can you tell me why that woman was coming to your room at this hour?” Leila asked calmly but her eyes were cold.If it were another person they would have flinched at that look but to Brad, Leila looked cute even when her eyes were cold.“Who knows? As I said, she is a witch. I am sure that what she was plotting wasn’t good. Luckily, she had been seen by El

Third POV. “No? You are more shameless than I thought. Do you think that could be mated with such a person? If I am not mistaken, you were trying to sabotage my relationship with my mate just to separate us. Am I right?” Aiden asked calmly but his eyes had a murderous glint.Hearing this, Jordan’s eyes turned cold. He only knew that Madeline had sneaked in and that was the reason he had come but he had not thought the reason behind it. They all knew how obsessed Madeline was with the queen’s title but he had not expected it to be this much. At first, they had all thought that that was her father’s idea after he tasted the wealth and power thus they pitied her and treated her well but after some time, they started seeing her true colors and got to understand her.“No, I wasn’t here for that,” Madeline quickly denied it.“Then what were you here for?” Jordan asked coldly.Madeline gritted her teeth as she clenched her fists after hearing the question. She couldn’t understand what she h

Third Pov.They all turned around and saw the old King making them wonder whether they were so loud that he was even woken up.“Why are you all standing here?” Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping at this hour?’ he asked once more when he neared them but they lowered their heads out of guilt.“Daddy, you really can’t blame us for wanting to spend time together can you?” Aurora asked coquettishly as she held her dad’s hand firmly.Looking at how her daughter was behaving, the old man shook his head and sighed since he knew that she was never up to no good every time she came to this floor. He kept thinking about what she was up to, whether she was discovered or whether both Elana and Marcus were in that with her. He had heard some words thus he had an idea of what was going on.“Your majesty, we…”Elana tried to explain but was interrupted by him.“Why are you still calling me that even when I said that both of you are now my kids? As your father, aren't all of you supposed to call me dad

Third POV. They all looked at the person who interrupted them and frowned.Leila and her maternal family recognized him as one of the men who escorted them out of the ballroom when the rogues attacked but they still couldn’t remember his name.“What does he want?” Aiden was coldly clearly not pleased with the interruption.“He claims that his daughter went missing yesterday night,” Matteo answered as he looked at his partner who had just walked in with him.Hearing the answer, Aiden chuckled coldly as he knew that whatever was going to take place wouldn’t be so simple or peaceful. He hated it since they had just woken up and they had not even taken breakfast.“Since it seems that it is a very important matter, as the king, I can’t turn a blind eye to it, can I?” he asked coldly without asking anyone in particular.Everyone was holding their breaths since the room’s temperature was so low and they were also afraid of making him mad.“Since I can’t, why don’t you invite that old fellow

Third POV. Even though he did not complete his words, everyone understood what he was trying to say. “I ….I… I don’t know what you are trying to say,” Simon denied as he hid his panic. “You don’t? Simon, we know what you are trying to do. We know that you can’t accept the fact that your daughter will be the next queen of our land. That’s why you can’t even respect Leila. You are jealous of her,” Mike said calmly but his eyes were looking at him sternly. “You just can’t accuse me without any evidence. That’s slandering and you will get punished for slandering me,” Simon roared as he was tired of listening to Mike as he was afraid it was too late. The other elders understood what Mike was trying to say and it was proved right when they saw his reaction. They sighed as if they had ever thought that he could do such a thing to get a high position and become rich and respected. They even suspected that he could kill the king if he could get a chance so that he could be the king. “Simo
