Chris Moore, the invisible assistant of the kingdom’s young king, had a really good time recently. As the king’s wedding drew near, more and more tasks fell on the kingdom’s Beta, Jasper’s shoulders. And each day, Jasper showed more of his incompetence at handling those tasks as the Beta.He was an incompetent wolf all along, but he got the Beta’s position anyway just because his father once fought wars following the old king. Chris’s father was in those wars too. He didn’t make as much contribution as Jasper’s father did, but that didn’t mean his son would be inferior to Jasper.They went to the same school, got the same training, and took the same examinations. Chris’s performances were much better than Jasper’s in all aspects. Still, he couldn’t get Beta's position because his father was less famous.Chris hadn’t been happy about it for a long time. Luckily, the young king he was serving was a bit arrogant, but not an idiot. He gave all the inessential paperwork to Jasper but sec
Elena was waiting outside anxiously in the car.Once Chris believed Ragnar was his king, she followed them in the bushes all the way to the hospital. After she saw Ragnar go inside the building, she called their driver to bring over the car. It might leave some eyewitnesses, but it didn’t matter. She changed into a hoodie to cover her face. And them being seen was part of the plan.She asked the driver to leave and waited in the car alone. Being back to the same building where she was imprisoned by Cory brought back some really bad memories. Which she had never told anyone. She was held in a ward with silver bars on the windows. And they tied her to the hospital bed with straps as if she was some kind of lunatic. Up to today, sometimes, when she closed her eyes at night, she could still feel those cold needles going underneath her skin. They poked into her flesh and injected those crazy fluids into her body. Her veins twitched and burned. And the pain of Nyla being peeled off was so
The trip back to the hotel was pretty peaceful. There were no warriors chasing on the streets and no checkpoints to inspect passengers. Everything was usual just like every other usual night.Obliviously, Chirs hadn’t realized he was scammed by a person who looked exactly like his king. And he wouldn’t realize it until he had met his real king and confronted him.Ragnar wondered when it would be and he would love to see how his young brother would react.“We are currently living in the hotel as his wedding guests. Ragnar’s friend, the Serpent's heir, Daniel, brought us here as his friends.”On their way back to the hotel, Elena explained their destination to her mother. She noticed her mother had been staring at Ragnar in a strange way since he got back into the car. She felt a little worried, but not too much. She knew what rogues were in “normal” wolves’ eyes. They were a bunch of wolves who didn’t have family or friends. They didn’t even have food or shelter. Before Elena met rogu
“And I promise I will never leave her alone in this world.”Right after Ragnar said that, the door of the meeting room was knocked. Both he and Eleanor turned their heads towards the door. Ragnar said “Come in” after a few moments. And then the door was pushed open. It was Elena and she was wearing a bashful smile on her face.“Sorry to interrupt, but I thought I’d better be in this conversation if you were talking about the hospital,” she said shyly. But Ragnar noticed she was also nervous for some reason.He nodded his head and said, “Sure”, and then walked up to her and pulled a chair for her to sit. Elena sat right beside her mother, and then raised her head to look at both of them.“Did you figure out what is going on in that hospital?” she asked nervously.Ragnar exchanged a look with Eleanor. Eleanor then answered that question with an assuring smile, “Nothing to be worried about, sweetie.” Her voice was soft, “He is testing some drugs on his prisoners, I guess. But your father
When Cory rushed back to the lab underneath the hospital, Chris was still waiting outside the elevator. He looked really confused and nervous. As soon as the elevator door opened, he stepped forwards and asked, “What happened? What’s going on?”That was exactly what Cory wanted to ask. “Pull up the security footage,” he growled, striding past Chris, and walked towards the security room.Chris nodded his head. He trotted ahead of his king to get the security footage ready. On the screen, the images were intact and clear. Cory saw a man who looked exactly like him followed Chris into the lab and then left with Elena’s parents.Knowing clearly that the camera was on him, that strange man looked directly at the lens once on his way to Elena’s parents’ room. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were cold and full of defiance. Cory then knew it was a provocation. That man was daring him a fight. And it totally enraged him.“Did he say anything to you?” Clutching his hands int
As soon as Cory dropped his invitation and left, Ragnar slammed the door behind him. He tried to keep his action gentle in case it scared Elena, but he was so angry about the audacity of his younger brother. Elena understood. She raised her head to look at him and comforted him gently, “Don’t worry, I will be alright.”Ragnar looked at her worriedly, “Why do you agree? There’s nothing good in his head.”Elena smiled. She held his hand and led him back to the living room. “Well, I have to let him accept my rejection first, before, you know,” she said shyly, “We can be together.”Ragnar felt his heart skip a beat. He had almost forgotten about that. It was such a lovely answer,but he was worried about her safety. “If you like, I can fo/rce him to accept the rejection,” he said, and stopped beside the sofa, kind of giving up covering his true identity, “My wolf is stronger than him. I can do it for you. It’s easy.”Elena stopped too. She raised her head to look at him and she was sm
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when the princess walked in, Cory almost lost his breath. She wore a dark green dress today with golden accessories at both her ears and neck. Under the warm afternoon sunlight which shone through the transparent window wall, she looked almost like the Queen of fairies. Cory stood up from his chair instantly and went to greet the Princess. It was only when he got near to her that he noticed that masked vulgar wolf was following her. “What a shameless eyesore!” Cory cursed at his head, but kept a polite smile on his face.“Princess! You came! What a great pleasure!” he said with a delighted tone, opening his arms towards her.Elena rolled her eyes. She ignored Cory and then turned to Ragnar. “Please wait for me, sweetie,” she whispered to him and then printed a gentle kiss on his lips. Ragnar smiled back at her and then cast a contemptuous glance at Cory.Cory’s heart twitched again after seeing that. He felt fires burning in his chest, both jealous an
Right after the Princess said that sentence, Cory curled his lips into a victory smile. In his mind, the Princess may appear to be cold and indifferent to him, but deep inside she actually liked him. That’s why she asked for the proof with a straight face.Girls, especially proud girls, they were always reluctant to admit that they actually liked someone. That’s what made them extraordinarily tempting and delicious.“Come to meet me at the kingdom’s garden tonight,” he said to the Princess with a satisfactory smile, and then rose to his feet and excused himself.After leaving the hotel, he drove directly back to the kingdom’s mansion. Lennie was partying upstairs with some of her friends. Cory went straight downstairs to the basement where he held Nyla.To prove Princess Lyra was his second chance mate, he would have to accept Elena’s rejection first. Right now, Elena was far away at the rogues, but he was sure that he could get it done through Nyla. Though the poor wolf had never ope
