Chapter thirty two: mistress of love Verena woke up, a huge smile on her face. She felt energized doing a small stretch in bed. Her mood was sky high."What a beautiful morning." She muttered, a smile planting sheepishly on her face. Today was the day that slave would get beheaded. Poor Karen to have fallen so gullible, she had thought she was way smarter, but damn it, she still rule. Once his Fiance and will always be his Fiancee.Verena couldn't contain her happiness. Ever since that slave's arrival, recalling how things had changed just in the days, weeks and month. She had thought she was going to loose the Alpha King forever.But now, it was all over. Well, in a few hours it will be. Kai had moved her execution to the evening to give the newly mated pack members a little more time to spend together. Speaking of mates, a frown came upon Verena's face. She had hoped with all her heart that her mate will be Kai. But that didn't happen. And she didn't care to know who it was after

Chapter thirty four: safetyWarriors suddenly poured into the dining room, alerted by the mind link. Twenty of them, huge and well built men. "Find her at once!" Kai commanded them. "And make sure you do it right!""Yes alpha!" The collective voices of the warriors thundered. They turned and stormed out, their heavy footfalls echoing down the halls."How could she have escaped?!" Kai asked no one in particular. Verena thought about what the warriors had said. If Karen truly had mind control then breaking out of prison would have been an easy task. But could she really get that far unaided?Verena felt a crack in her perfect plan. The good mood she has built up all day was suddenly going dark. She bit her thumb, a habit she had picked up whenever she was nervous. She slowly sat down, her mind racing. If Karen did manged to survive....Verena didn't want to think of the possibilities.Verena's attention was drawn to Kai. His body was visibly vibrating with anger and tension. His face

Thirty six: a new colorThe pastel room didn't bother her three days later. She loved it, the bright colors cheering her up. Karen was starting to transition into Life with Shelly. She found out that Shelly was real estate mogul. She lived in a busy part of the city where there was always some sort of noise. Karen quite liked it. It was different from the pack house that was secluded in the woods.A few days later and she was fully back on her feet. As she observed herself in a mirror she noticed some differences in her body. Her hair had grown very long, passing her waist at this point. Her eyes were livelier, and her skin's glow was back. Her curves looked way fuller. She looked the same, small, demure, soft.She decided she needed a new look if she was going to avoid Kai as much physically possible. That was if he even decided she was worth the trouble of looking for and came after her. Which was highly unlikely by her.She waited in the living room for Shelly to return from work.

Chapter thirty eight: confessionVerena paced the floors of her room, her mind in deep disarray.It had backfired. Everything she did had backfired. The clever plans, the newly developed drugs, the set up, the poisoning, each and everyone of them backfired.She had thought that by removing Karen, the one blockage in her way that she could have Kai all to herself. She would be reinstated in his life as the one , and soon she would marry him and be crowned Luna.A grave misconception.It now seemed that when Karen was around Kai paid even more mind to Verena. At least back then Kai hadn't been obsessed with the idea of finding a run away slave. But now, everything had changed for the very worst.The weeks had rolled off and before Verena knew it, five months had passed. And in those five months all she saw was Kai getting colder and colder. He no longer spoke to her. He no longer allowed anyone in his suite, not even Nicolas. He poured himself entirely to the pack duties and searching

Chapter forty one: secret lives Kai faced Asher Conan, his face a mask of expressionless. Asher looked shocked to say the least, his eyes travelling between Kai and Nicolas. The day after the truth about Karen's treason was revealed, Kai and Nicolas headed to the Crest pack to seek an audience with Asher himself. "Verena did that?" He gasped, his eyes wide with shock. "I understand that you must have been angry at her but that girl was merely a slave. The daughter of the man who caused you so much pain. Isn't it a good thing that she's gone? Being reminded of that pain every day." Kai wanted to roll his eyes. "Do I tell you how to run your pack?" "No," "Do I tell you what to do with your slaves?" "No " "Then don't tell me what to do with mine." Kai said simply. "That man's daughter or not she was my property. If I chose to have her executed it was to be my own decision wholly and not being manipulated by another." "Young alpha, you should think about his with a calm head."
