Erica's eyes were spitting fire. She looked fierce and vengeful. She glared at Derick with eyes capable of reducing him to a stubble.   The men came towards Derick and overpowered him. He didn't struggle with them but allowed them to do whatever they liked to him.   After all, his father did worse to someone else's daughter. It's pay back time. He was dragged out like a common criminal towards the dungeon.   Erica expected him to struggle, or to engage in contention with the guards,but he didn't do any of such.   Why wasn't he showing any slight resistance to being taken to the dungeon? Erica squinted and looked at him as he was being dragged away.  &n

"When Isabella was imprisoned, was she offered food for the number of days she stayed there?" Derick asked, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.   Richard couldn't answer the question immediately. He knew his father was mean and wouldn't be nice enough to offer his prisoners food.  But every prisoner should be entitled to food. No matter what their crime might have been, not to say someone who hadn't done anything worth of imprisonment.   Until being executed or granted freedom, they should be fed. But Lukas, he is a demon and would rather leave them to starve.   He is also imprisoned here without committing any crime. Alpha Fred and his wife have told him they would look into his case and think of what to

He was now moving very fast. The guards followed behind him as they walked towards the healing home.   Isabella developed a sudden illness again? Is it really because she didn't see him or because she was infected as a result of the poison in her blood?    The poison might be causing her another kind of illness. All these is happening to his mate because of that damn man he knew was his father.   He walked briskly and pushed the door to the healing home open and walked in. He saw Alpha Fred Wilson and his wife but he pretended not to see them and went for Isabella.   He sat by her bed side and held her hand "Isabella my love, are you ok? I'm here now" he said, raising her chin to look at him.

Her sudden outburst with a question tag did not as much as make Derick turn to look in her direction again.  Richard's eyes were filled with pleas to Isabella and to Derick. He wants them both to compromise for the other.   They have both undergone one sacrifice or the other as a result of accepting each other. Why should they now allow flippant clauses come in between them?   Derick nodded and tapped Richard's shoulder and smiled. He didn't say another word,but walked out and Isabella's eyes dropped tears.   Immediately he left, a part of her seemed to be torn away. She felt pain and hurt. She raised her hand to try and stop Derick but couldn't.   "De

Richard nodded and then excused himself. He followed the guard back to alpha Fred Wilson's chambers.   When he arrived, he met the alpha in his study. Fred is not in the habit of allowing people into his study except close family or friends.   But Richard, he took him not as a friend but a family. And family they say comes first always.    Richard walked in and bowed before the alpha as the guard retreated. Alpha Fred offered him a seat and the latter sat down.   The King poured himself a drink and asked that Richard also poured himself a drink. The two men drank and Fred asked him how he came across his daughter and Derick to have followed them down?
