AMANISA’S POV“He lacks the sense of humor.”Arla commented when Kovan finally stopped pulling me. He stopped in front of the throne room. My joke was dark but it was a means to an end. It was my way of evading Kovan’s inquiries about my presence at Violet’s quarters.“Why, Amanisa? It’s understandable that you haven't figured out the whole situation but we know more than enough to help Kovan.”Arla added while I wondered what was going on through Kovan’s head. Did he really drag me here because he believed my words? Idiot! He doesn't know to believe me when I say the truth but while I joke, he took my words to heart. “What were you really there for, Amanisa?” Kovan asked me. His continence has changed and for some reason, I sensed that he believed I must have heard something that could help him. “Did you drag me here to sk me that again or you brought me here to call a meeting where my execution would be discussed–” “I didn't know what you are trying to prove, Amanisa but trust me

AMANISA’S POVShe shouldn’t have made my presence known.I hissed as my sword sliced through the air. Sweat was trickling down from my head to the sole of my feet as I fought with nothing but myself and perhaps the air. I was talking about Davina… She shouldn't have taken that step.“You shouldn't have hidden Sophie’s condition from Kovan either.” Arla affirmed that she still hasn't gotten over the fact that I decided to not tell Kovan about what I saw and heard two days ago. It’s been two days since and neither Arla nor I had gotten over the events of that day. My Lycan spirit was mad about my thoughts of joining hands with Byron if my suspicions were true and he happened to be the mastermind behind the killings. While I was mad that Davina betrayed me even though it seemed to me like she had asked for my permission in the throne room before she made it known that Princess Isidora who is me was in the realm. No one wanted me here. They prefer I remain the lost princess forever. The

KING ARCHIE’S POVShe was right. Amanisa was right when she said another death would occur. I realized that whoever was behind the letter wasn’t only threatening me. The person was also playing games with me.I had failed to realize that until I spoke and had breakfast with Amanisa yesterday. We had a lot of rough moments during that period but she was able to help me again. She was still hiding from me which I didn’t like but she didn’t seem like she was ready to let me in fully.However, she was right. Another death had happened.And this time it happened in the least expected house. No one could have thought that the killers would be able to penetrate the security of that house. No one should have even dared to enter that house. That house was owned by the strongest family in Royal Hills. That house was a place that even I the king, couldn't invade without preparing to lose many… However, these killers were able to penetrate this house and they killed like they have been doing

KING ARCHIE’S POVI had to send for Amanisa to prove that my mom was just unnecessarily terrified. She was terrified of Amanisa and that sounded weird to me even though it had been over five minutes since my mom told me about what she thought of Amanisa... I mean, Amanisa was the same woman she had dotted on when she returned to Royal Hills. The woman that saved her and took an arrow for me. It was okay for me to suspect Amanisa but no one else could. Not even my own mother… not my mom who had become less of a comfort to me. She was so off yet I had stayed true to my promise to not call the healers. “Don't you see how this could break the realm, Kovan? I am scared that the female has been working with Alpha Damon. I have been having flashes of what happened back then in that hell hole, son, and see her.” My mom announced. She was trying too hard for me to believe her. Yet I couldn't believe her. She sounded more like Ardin at the moment.“What is she talking about? During the tim

KING ARCHIE’S POV“What the fuck is this meeting about!” Jay exclaimed within me. He was furious. I was furious too and I didn't hide it as I walked through the Lycans that had been gathered in the throne room without my knowledge. What the heck! Did they forget they have a King? No decision should be made about my realm without my knowledge. Perhaps I was this angry because Curtis had uninterrupted I and Amanisa this morning when he forced a connection between our minds to tell me that my cousin had called for an impromptu meeting. Even Curtis knew nothing about the meeting but at least he had the decency to tell me about it. Ardin didn't think about telling me and neither did Byron who was my cousin. I was livid.I saw Byron standing by the throne with Ardin, booking nothing like the Delta he was supposed to be. Violet was also there wearing black just like Amanisa but Amanisa looked better than she appeared. Violet looked like she had been dragged through the pit of hell and
