Mayumi nodded at Gray, and tears started to form in her eyes. "He was murdered," she replied. "The night that you and Judah were supposed to complete the mating ritual was when he was found dead. The howl you heard was the call from his brother," Mayumi explained before she wiped Gray's tears. "He suspected everyone, including you, Gray. But you cannot blame him, and I'm apologizing on his behalf."Gray stared at Mayumi. She was a good woman, probably the same age as her father."Why didn't he tell me? I don't know why he has to keep it from me. I'm his wife, and he should never keep a secret from me. I understand his situation, but I had never wished or killed someone except my old Alpha," Gray replied. "He has his reason, Gray. But if you two could talk, you would resolve your misunderstanding."Mayumi had served her dinner that night. Gray refused to join the royal dinner with anyone. Instead, she enjoyed watching the foolish moon shining upon her right through her open windows.
"I'd like us to start over, Gray," Judah said, distracting her whether to tell the kiss or not. "One step at a time." He kissed her on her forehead and stood up. "You've been crying all day, and I'm sure you spent a lot of time crying and thinking about the man you marked."Gray nodded quickly. "I want to find and kill him," she replied."Don't worry. I'll help you find him but promise you will stay with me. You need to transfer to my room so I can protect you," he said. "What about Faye? Aren't you lovers?"Judah shook his head. "No," he replied. "And where did you get that idea? She was like my sister," Judah laughed, which made Gray smile. "Because she's always with you like she was actually your wife and Queen," she answered. Judah looked at Gray, eye to eye. He could see the sadness in her eyes, and the doubts lingered on them. "She was just a sister for me and nothing else," he replied.The two of them talked all through the night, with Gray sleeping in Judah's room. Juda
Judah was tired.He has been thinking about what happened and why the enemy also targeted Gray. It wasn't just the throne they were after but his mate too, which he wouldn't allow. He enjoyed his time with her despite the fact that he wasn't at ease knowing she was marking someone else. For a Haquihana, marking a male partner is more important than them being marked. The ritual shows how males appreciated Haquihanas by letting them mark them. She must end whoever she marked the other night since it was a mistake against Gray's will. Last night, they decided to clear what was between them, and they knew they were going to need some time to sort out their feelings and find out what their relationship needed to be fixed. It was an eye-opener for both of them. Someone clearly wanted to break them apart. When he learned that his father was murdered, the very first one he suspected was Gray. Why? Because she was new and dared to meet his father without him, she was innocent, and he was b
Judah found a chair in the hallway and sat down, beginning to twiddle his thumbs nervously. He had lots of work to finish, but not before seeing Thor was okay, and he learned what he wanted to tell him. It seemed nobody knew what had happened to him, and time was running out. The doctor and nurse inside the room could only do so much. "Relax, Brother. You know Thor, he will survive," Zeus told him. Judah nodded at him. Who or what hurt Thor obviously doesn't know who he was. He can survive the silver attack since he was a partial vampire, but if it was mixed with a certain wood, he could have died. About thirty minutes later, all was calm. The nurse came back to him with a sigh of relief. "He's okay now, your highness. He requested a meeting with you."Judah nodded and hastily made his way to Thor's room. Upon entering, he saw his uncle lying on his bed with closed eyes. He then looked at Thor, who was looking at him while white cloth bound around his chest and torso. He sighed i
"What is it?" "Wolfsbane," Thor replied. "This kind of flower isn't only used as poison but also as a potion to confuse a werewolf. How those bastards developed such a dangerous flower is still unknown," he added. Judah has been staring at the liquid and the necklace next to it. He knew who owned it. He wasn't expecting that the owner would do this to him. "I can see in your face that you already knew someone might be betraying you," Thor said, looking at Judah knowingly. "Brother," Zeus said. "That's-""I know Zeus," he cut his brother's words. "And also." Thor took something underneath his pillow. It was a brown envelope and gave it to Judah. Although he was confused, Judah took the thing out, and he found Gray's picture sitting inside a notorious club he was familiar with a female he knew. He could see Gray having a fun time and then noticed a bluish liquor inside a small glass she held. "That liquor is what we called Blue Lagoon. It wasn't just a normal drink. It was fused
Cameron approached one of the older wolves, Gray carefully treading behind her. She felt extremely uncomfortable knowing none of those trainees' training had ever trained with her brother. Just by watching them, she already felt like she would be sore for the whole week. "Gray, this is Rex. Rex, this is her highness."Gray looked up almost sheepishly at the six-foot-tall man with blonde but silver hair. He was supposed to have been in his late fifties but was extremely fit and attractive. Rex turned around to Gray and gave her a curt bow. "My Queen, it's an honor."She smiled and uttered thank you to him. "Anyways, Gray, you're in good hands. Rex and his team will train with you for four hours at the beginning of each day until you're training with Judah."Rex nodded."You were a fast runner during the mating game, your highness. That's a good start. We must start focusing on hardening your muscles and knowing how to fight. It won't be so easy. Are you ready?" "Yes," Gray replied
Both girls groaned, and Gray wiped the blood from her lips, and Hilda held her nose, blood flowing from it steadily. She growled and tackled Gray to the ground, punching her all over. Gray had enough, and she was getting tired. She pulled the other girl's hair, causing her to lean on the other side. She used that to her advantage And rolled over on the top of her back, putting Hilda's face in a tight headlock. "Give in.'"No!" Hilda struggled, and Gray smirked. She has been on the receiving end of this technique many times. The more the victim struggled, the faster they lost consciousness. "Your Highness!" Rex and the two other male wolves pulled the two of them apart, prying Gray's tight grip around Hilda's neck. Gray's head was spinning from standing upright so suddenly, but once she got her bearings, she noticed their little brawl had drawn a bit of an audience. She rolled her eyes and walked back toward her room but no more towards Hilda to see her on her hands and knees, gl
Gray sniffed and wiped her tears away, smiling at Cameron. "Thank you, Cam. If anything, I'll be stronger and become a good Queen for Judah."Cameron nodded. "There you go, Now let's do this, okay? I'll be like a little guide when nobody else is around. I'll be your assistant until you become someone rightful to be with my brother."Gray nodded and opened the door to her new office, which to her surprise, wasn't small as Cameron made it seem to be. It was twice the size of her old office and there was plenty of room to work on the very large, dark wooden desk in the corner. There are rows of bookshelves with books. "Wow! I love it!" Gray said before walking over to the bookshelf sitting behind the chair and running her fingers over the spines of the book. "I think I'll spend more time reading these books. Thank you, Cam.""Nope, not me. Judah decided this for your safety. He put this together for you. He worked on this before you arrived and finalized it a few days ago. And This o
