CHAPTER 14Author’s POV. “What?” They all gasped in shock, staring at Khalid intently. Khalid just sighed and walked towards his seat, with his head bowed. “What did you just say, your highness?” They asked in unison, and Khalid simply sighed. “You heard me, she’s my mate!” Khalid groaned annoyingly. “I can’t believe this, you may have possibly said this just to make her stay here,” One of the Elders said and Khalid clenched his fists tightly. Khalid stood up and opened his mouth to talk when a maid bathed into the meeting room. He swiftly faced her, with his eyes blazing with fury!“What are you doing here?” Khalid asked as he breathed in anger, his fists were clenched tightly. “I’m sorry your highness, but I came to inform you that Miss Megan has regained consciousness,” She said with her head bowed, and just like a magic, the anger on his face dissipated. “What did you just say?” Alpha Khalid asked sharply, and the maid kept mute because she knew he had heard her. “Are yo
CHAPTER 15Megan’s POV. I widened my eyes in shock, freezing instantly. I was unable to pull out, or move backwards…so I just stood still wondering what was happening. I noticed Khalid widen his eyes, and he quickly pulled out and turned his face sideways in embarrassment. “I’m sorry…” He muttered, and I turned to glance at him. “You almost slipped, and I wanted to save you, but I didn’t know.....” He trailed off, and I breathed deeply. I turned and walked back to the bed, as I sat slowly. Different thoughts rummaged my mind, and I couldn’t help but facepalm myself. I was going through a lot already, and what just happened added to my shock. “I know I’ve always admired and loved Khalid…but what just happened wasn’t right,” I thought as I heaved deeply. “It’s fine…” I managed to break the silence, and that was when he looked up to glance at me. I flashed him a light smile, which he returned and walked back to the seat he sat on earlier. “Are you ready to talk now?” I suddenly
CHAPTER 16Khalid’s POV. We stared at ourselves in shock, but it was until the knock came again that we were able to regain our composure. “Come in,” I ordered, and the door opened just for Alexis to appear with a small smile on her face. I creased my brows, and quickly turned to glance at Megan to see her widen her eyes in shock. “I’m sorry, just leave me alone,” Megan began to apologize as she shifted backwards in fright. That was when I knew that Alexis had managed to instill fear in Megan, and it made me boil in anger “I’m not a spy please,” She pleaded with a sad look, as she folded her hands begging Alexis with a sincere look. I just couldn’t behold the sight anymore, and I clasped my hands together making sure it made a loud noise, and that was when Megan managed to calm down. “What are you doing here?” I asked coldly, facing Alexis swiftly. “Your highness...” She started by going on her knees and I furrowed my brows. “I just came to apologize, I’m really sorry...” She
CHAPTER 17Aaron’s POV. I was in my office, lost in my thoughts, when a knock sounded on my door. “Who’s there?” I asked in my baritone voice, but it was one of my boys that answered me. My most trusted boys weren’t around that day, so it was a messenger that came to deliver the news. “Come in,” I simply said, and he opened the door slowly, walking into the office like a robot. I glanced at him the moment he stepped his feet into the office with furrowed brows. “What happened?” I asked, and he simply shrugged. “Master, I have news to break, but I just don’t know how you’ll feel,” He said, and I creased my brows in utter confusion. “Go straight to the point, what’s the matter?” I asked, obviously confused. “Master, the spy was captured,” He said, and a small smile crept on my face. “Seriously?” I asked, and he bowed his head. “You can go, I need some time alone,” I said, and he quickly excused me. I clasped my hand tightly together the instant he left!I was so excited, and
Chapter 18 Khalid’s POV I stepped into the dimly lit dungeon, with the look of determination. My footsteps echoed against the cold stone walls. I had been informed of the spy's presence, and I knew about the need to extract crucial information from him. As I approached the cell, where the spy was being held, I could hear the distant echoes of pain and suffering. I simply sighed and shook my head, still walking towards the cell. The air was heavy with the scent of dampness and despair. I wanted to extract information from the spy for the betterment of the members of my pack, since our safety hasn’t been sure for a long time now. I was prepared to do anything, anything possible to fulfill my duty. The spy, shackled and bruised, looked up at me the moment I entered. His eyes held a mixture of defiance and fear, but he remained silent and tried to wear a cold expression. I knew instantly that breaking this man's resolve would not be an easy task, but the urgency of the situatio
CHAPTER 19Megan’s POV.After Khalid stormed out of the room, frustration etched on his face, I took a deep breath and decided to explore the pack on my own. The tension in the air was palpable, and I needed a moment to clear my head. As I wandered through the dimly lit corridors, my mind raced with thoughts of the spy and also what has been happening to me. Lost in my contemplation, my eyes caught sight of a figure that looked vaguely familiar. In a moment of recognition, I suddenly remembered that it was one of my father's trusted men. He was among the pack members, and I froze in a spot. My heart skipped a beat, and a mix of surprise and curiosity washed over me. What was he doing here? Was he on a secret mission?Did my father have a hand in this delicate situation that has been going on in my life lately? Different questions swirled in my mind as I felt the urgent need to confront him, but decided against it quickly. I decided to wait and watch…watch him intently. I was
Chapter 20Khalid’s POV The revelation hit me with the force of a thunderbolt. A spy, In my pack!The bitter taste of betrayal seared my tongue, and I clenched my fists hard enough to turn my knuckles white. I thought about it, and my eyes widened. For a spy to enter my pack, it obviously means they were more than one…It managed to send a real surge of fury through me at the realization that it wasn't just one.And then a chilling revelation hits me – it's not just one. There's more than one infiltrator tainting the sanctity of my pack.They were hiding like cowardly rats, infecting my pack. Without wasting a moment, I barked out orders to secure every nook and cranny of our territory. No one is to enter, no one is to leave!The orders were strict and clear, and any movement could mean another escape of these traitors.The borders will be temporarily locked down and turned into an impenetrable fortress until we cleanse our pack of these parasites. Turning to Megan, I put forth
Chapter 21Alexis POV. I felt an overwhelming wave of anxiety as I observed Khalid's anger, a level of anger I have never witnessed in him before. My heart raced, and my mind raced along with it, desperately searching for a way to calm him down. “Your highness, please...”But it seemed like, no matter what I said or did, it seemed futile. But seeing him that way, plus the cold look on his face, managed to instill a bit of fear in me. I wanted to teach Megan a lesson, so she would know that Khalid is mine and back off. So as I walked slowly towards him, I prayed that I would be successful in calming him down, and because she was there…I hoped it went smoothly. “My lord,” I said slowly, and he swiftly turned to glare at me. Megan also stared at me with a raised eyebrow….“That was what I wanted,” I smiled to myself and spanked my head lightly, when I noticed that I made the smile too obvious. His gaze tore deeply into my skin, and I almost scampered away if not for the sudden
