AUTHOR'S POV “Are you sure?” Liam was looking at Lucas now.“We have to follow him. We have to go now.” Lucas tried to move but Liam stopped him immediately.“Are you stupid? Remember what the books said, he is a powerful sorcerer to wield such dark magic. If we want to follow him we have to make sure he cannot tell.”“Then how do we do that, smart ass?” Lucas asked, still keeping his eyes on the target.“Let's pretend like we are passing and playing.” Liam slapped Lucas in the head and ran moving towards the stranger.“You are so dead, Liam,” Lucas shouted and chased after him. Liam increased his speed, looking backward. He didn't know when he crashed into the stranger.“Hey, what are you doing?” The stranger grabbed Liam's hand.“Am sorry, sir…” Liam looked up, his own words stuck in his throat.Lucas paused in his tracks also staring at the man.“Sir Mistero, I didn't mean to hit you.” Liam managed to say. “No problem. Just be careful next time” he patted Liam on the head and le

KALIFE’S POV He stopped running to catch his breath, his hands on his knees breathing fast as we started laughing. First, he found our little stunts so humorously and laughed, his fangs showing and his blue eyes glittering. I always found his appearance alluring and so I smiled when I saw the expression on his face.“We had such a good strategy, that I cannot wait to brag about it to my father when we get back home,” Liam said, still laughing, his voice echoing a little in a quiet temple. I signaled to him, to bring his voice down and he responded immediately.“I know we tried,” I said smiling at him, he felt encouraged and laughed again showing his fangs. Making our way into the temple amidst those two soldiers at the entrance by the left and right is not easy. If not for the distraction Lucas caused, there's no way we would have passed.“Let's get to the library now,” Liam said to me, returning the mood to its original state of seriousness.“Yes, come with me,” I said, turni

AUTHOR'S POV The twins returned to the palace, Kalife was supposed to go home while they handled things from there, but before Kalife left she gave the secret book to Liam to give the Alpha.Now Emily was sitting on the bed, Lucien lying on her lap and sleeping. He didn't say anything about the boys, she did not ask too, because she knew he would say it when the time was right.She helped Lucien position himself on the bed, so he could sleep very well without straining his neck. She lay awake beside him on the bed, not because she was thinking about anything. She was holding the book the boys gave to their father when they came back and was wondering what was in it that made it so secretive.She flipped open the first page, there was an inscription “WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PALACE’’. Emily's attention was drawn Immediately. She started flipping through the rest of the pages and more words began to surface. She raced back to the first page and began to read it again, out loud but quietly.

MALCOLM'S POV I woke up as sore as hell, I could not even move my hands. I returned to lying on the bed. “What the hell did I do last night?”I tried to remember but my memory was hazy. In my confusion, someone opened my door and walked in. He chuckled immediately after he saw me...“You look damn fine today.”I scoffed at the mockery in his voice.“It still doesn't make me as hideous as Nathaniel.” I laughed my ass off for a while but he didn't join me. No biggie, Nobody ever gets me anyway.He came close to me and helped me stretch my arms and legs and I could finally get out of bed.“Thank you, Tristan, I needed that.”. I thanked him. Continuing the stretch myself.“Remind me again what I did yesterday because I cannot remember,” I said to him, already used to his silence around me. He raised his eyebrows and then started laughing. “You are a madman, Malcolm. You are sick in the head. Yesterday, you raised a group of revolvers that went rogue, men, women, and children.

EMILY'S POV Murmurs spread across the whole room immediately. I suddenly felt weak inside. The laborers had never revolted before. Not because of fear but because they were treated quite well by Lucien indeed. They were what he used to show the people that he was a king, kind to all. The laborers have become the yardstick for measuring the goodness of Alpha Lucien.If they revolted it meant they were saying that Lucien instilled fear in them to speak up about his hypocrisy but now he is absent they have found their voice to speak. It was ridiculous but for some reason, people took it all too seriously in this kingdom.“Take me there. Let me see the revolters.”I left where I stood, approaching the wolf guard. Trying to hide my frightened spirit. “My Luna, the matter is not for you to act on at the moment. We have to check the status quo and inform you first.”. The wolf chief stopped me with his words. I heaved softly making sure none of my enemies in the room would tell that I was
