I don't know how long until I've finally lost consciousness.
I could only vaguely hear the angry roars of beasts and screams but I couldn't deduce anything.
"IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS, WHY SHE'S NOT WAKING UP??!!!"
Who...?
Who's shouting?
"No.. please.. AARRKK..!"
"Please.. Don't kill my mate.. AAARRRKKKK..!!!"
The first thing I felt was pain.
Not just my head or hands but my whole body was like being hit by a truck, it hurt all over.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around to realise that I didn't recognise the room I was sleeping in. Where am I?
Then I remembered... That explosion... I was blown away along with Alexa and El...
Blood covered my eyes...
The screams of the warriors in the palace...
And then...
That cry of pain...
What's going on?
"Ugh.." I try to move only to get hurt because it's painful

A heavy step was hear and one second later I watch a familiar face walk into my room with a worry expression "My Queen" She breathed a relieved expression when she saw
me.
I smile "I'm glad you're okay Alexa" Ugh, my throat hurt too.
As if she saw my pain, Alexa quickly gave me a glass of water.
I clear my throat "Wha.. What happened? Where's EL?" I ask and take a look around, missing someone who is always with me beside Alexa.
My eyebrow was raise when she look ashamed and look down "We failed to protect you, I am failed, forgive me, my queen"
I quickly shook my head "No.. no one failed anything, I'm glad you're okay" I said and looking at her only with bruises, I know it must be more than that but with werewolf health she would have healed faster than me.
"AAARRGGHH..."
I jumped a little in surprise "What is that?"
Silent..
My body screamed in pain as I tried to get out of bed.
Alexa looked confused and tried to hold me up, afraid that I would hurt myself again.
But there were too many screams that I heard while I was unconscious, who and what was it?
I need to know...
With Alexa's help I made my way to the window and the sight I saw surprised me.
My eyes widened in shock at the sight of 10 people, if not more, hanging at the edge of a nearby forest.
Some were already motionless, others were still trying to untie

the rope around their necks.
Oh my G*d, what is this?!
"Rogue and their punishment" I looked over to hear Alexa speaking to inform me.
"Punishment? Rogue?" I asked quickly
She nodded "Many of our people died and they even dared to hurt you, my queen... even El" She paused and took a deep breath to calm herself "El was killed while trying to protect you... The king was furious and hunted down all those who dared to challenge him, 30 minutes was all he needed to find you and it also almost cost us all your lives"
30 minutes was all he needed...
"The king is on rampage' I remember reading about it in one of the books, I have to start to read again.
"A woman?" I gasped when I noticed she's in the center of hanging people, only she's not in the air but tied with a rope on the ground with wounds all over her body and I notice her clothes. "The traitor" Alexa states with hatred
"A maid?" I gasped and watched her nod for confirmation. Then I notice a man standing there, my mate. "Titus.." I whispered and like he could hear me, slowly he turned his head and met my gaze.
Quickly I watch him running faster toward where I am right now with his eyes locked on me the whole time. People notice me standing and start bowing their head in respect while watching their king run to his mate.
I know treachery is not forgivable for our world, especially when you're trying to hurt the king, it's a dead sentence, but I never saw this with my own eyes and never knew that it would be like this.

I thought Titus was going to enter my room through the door but I was surprised to see him jump onto the balcony of this second floor room and enter through the door from the balcony. "Gwen.. You awake" He looked very happy to see me and my heart was touched by his gaze.
A gaze full of longing that he always gave me.
D**n, I can't get away from him.
E**n though he's rude and sometimes annoying, my heart always hopes for his love.
With the speed of a wolf, he approached me and hugged me tightly while kissing the scent of my neck deeply as if not wanting to let me go.
"You're finally awake" He whispered fondly and tightened his embrace.
Click..
Alexa leaves the room slowly and lets us have this moment.
My weak legs barely held me up and Titus swiftly lifted me up and carried me back to the bed.
"Why get up if you're still limp?" he grumbled and for some reason I found his attitude cute.
Instead of letting me sleep, he straddled me and hugged me from behind before putting his head back on my neck and kissing me as if to confirm that it was really me. "How did you find me?" I started the conversation and asked him, I guess when someone takes me, it takes longer for me to be found or rescued by him but I was wrong. "With so much blood coming out of you, it was easy for Wolf to find you" He replied briefly without lifting his head from the nape of my neck.
I nodded, because my prediction that with blood coming out it

would be easy for him to smell my scent was right, just didn't expect it to be that fast.
"The scene outside..." I began timidly, searching for the right words so as not to anger him.
"So that everyone knows the consequences of messing with me or trying to hurt you" He said firmly and I knew that it wasn't a negotiation and he wouldn't use anything else.
Even my father was once angry over a trivial matter when my mother was hurt by it, so it is nothing new when an Alpha, and here is the king of Alphas reacts like that.
"I almost lost you, Gwen" He whispered and there was a bitterness in his voice that showed that he was really afraid of losing me "I can't lose you again, I can't!" He continued and it was like he was saying it to himself.
I tightened my embrace and kissed his hair as he slowly raised his head and our eyes met.
Slowly we drew closer to each other and brought our lips together.
