Silver: Everyone was now awake because of the woman and me and I didn't like the attention it brought.“Are you okay?” Mila asked sleepily, vaguely aware of what was going on. “Yeah. That woman just thought she was seeing something," I said, desperately hoping that was all this was about. “Old Lady Ruth?” she scoffed, glancing at the woman. “Everyone knows her. She's crazy. I don't even know why she came here.” My eyes widened. “So she deserves to die because she's crazy and old?” “Calm down. That's not what I meant. She's always saying it's her fault her whole family died and she wants to die with them, so it's surprising how she keeps running to safety.” I glanced at the woman and noticed she was still mumbling something and staring at me. I didn't know her story, and I didn't want to know it. Something warned me against her and inasmuch as I didn't support abandoning people because they were crazy, I couldn't ignore that nagging voice in my head telling me to stay away from h

Silver: The Reborn Kingdom did not take the news of their King’s disappearance as well as I had expected them to. On the first day, it was complete chaos. People wailed on the streets, tore their clothes, and scattered around everywhere. No one tried to bring Mila and me back to the harem like I assumed they would. There was nothing but confusion everywhere, I wondered how Beta Rogu would ever be able to put the Kingdom back in order. After storming out of the hideout building, I hadn’t been able to find Mila again. I wondered if she was searching for me, or if amidst the chaos, she had been hurt. I had to carry on without her. Based on everything that had happened, I had a huge role to play now, so I would worry about her later. I hid my bracelet inside my dress to protect it from being stolen. It was very easy for people to revert to crime during times like this and I preferred not to be a victim. I didn’t know where I was going to or what I hoped to achieve by mindlessly roaming

Silver:The extremely bright light stunned everyone and for several moments, there was no movement from any angle. I was too terrified to open my eyes in the magical light which blinded me even through my closed eyes. However, when I felt a paw on my hand nudging me, I knew I had to use this distraction to my advantage. When I opened my eyes, I discovered I could see clearly, notwithstanding the light. The wolves on the other end paced wildly around, the light disorienting them and making them unable to see what was right in front of them. Looking down at Damon who had a deep gash on his neck that had been poorly bandaged, I fought the urge to cry. His body felt warm and his chest was heaving slightly, so that meant he was still alive, although barely. “Please wake up,” I begged him, tears falling from my eyes. I felt a steering pain deep in my chest from seeing him this way, so fragile and on the verge of death. Terah’s wolf kicked me on the chest and I turned around in anger, but

Silver: His confession confused me even more. He had no idea about the supposed mind link Terah had sworn he sent. Had Terah made it all up? But why? Just to get me to follow him? How did he know I could even do anything? Something didn't add up here. “Aurelia,” the King called and the puny maid appeared before him. “Yes, Your Highness.” “Call Terah immediately.” She left to do as she was told and I wrapped my arms around my legs. “He's coming here?” I asked. “Now?” He placed his hand under his head on the pillow as he watched me. “Do you have a problem with that?” I did. I had just gotten my faux wolf status. I didn't want to stand out for being with the King in a suspicious way. I was on his bed, sitting down right beside him. Anyone could easily misinterpret the situation. “Not really a problem, but I don't think he will understand what I'm doing here. In your room,” I answered, feeling awkward all of a sudden. I wrapped my arms tighter around myself but it still didn't s

Silver:“Let's go,” Aurelia told me with her lips pressed together. I sighed before getting up and going with the woman. There was no need to throw a tantrum over something that I had no control over. When Alpha Damon made a decree like this, it always stood, regardless of who it was for. I didn't turn back to look at him. At least now, I was no longer at the harem but directly under his roof so I felt much safer. Plus, now I smelt like a wolf so it would be way easier to blend in. Aurelia led me through several hallways and we passed many rooms. I wondered if they were all occupied and if so, how many people actually lived in the palace of the King. We kept walking in silence until we reached the last room in the hallway. She unlocked the door to the room which was set apart from all the others and got in. I followed after her and noticed how musty the room smelled. It was extremely dark so she opened the windows which gave off a rickety sound when she did. She lit a candle that
