Mate's Revenge 85
Wren’s POVThe High King’s Palace was less of a building and more like a declaration of power. White pillars with golden vines reached for the clouds like they were trying to stab heaven itself. The air shimmered faintly with magic, the kind that hummed against your skin and whispered you don't belong here.Gold and white banners lined the grand courtyard, each marked with the High Court’s sigil, a wolf howling at the moon. The gardens were lush with plants of various species, all creating a diversity of colors and scents. It felt like stepping into a different, new dimension, one filled with magic.I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, letting the various scents wash over me and I could feel some of my stress fading. Yeah, i thought, i could get used to this.We hadn’t even crossed the first marble step when people started bowing. At first, I thought someone had dropped something and everyone was helping look for it. Then I realized, nope, they were bowing. To Caelum.Dozens of guards

Wren’s POVThe meeting room was a disaster zone disguised as organization. Papers were scattered like battlefield casualties, coffee cups formed a defensive perimeter, bags of chips strewn everywhere, and someone had written Murder Suspect No. 1 with an arrow pointing to my chair. In short, it was a hot mess.“Real mature,” I said flatly. Soren snickered, it would have given him away if I didn't already know he was the one.He grinned. “It’s called crime scene labeling. You’re welcome.”Caelum didn’t even look up from the table. “Soren, if you breathe one more word, I will personally duct-tape your mouth shut.”“Could still hum,” He said cheerfully.“Not for long,” Dane muttered in that dry tone of his. I grinned at him, he didn't grin back but the corner of his lips curled and I counted that as victory.Across the table, he tapped away on his laptop, ignoring us all with the focus of a man who regretted every career decision that led him here. Robin leaned over his shoulder, nursing

Wren's POV I stumbled back with a gasp as my head turned black and my vision blurred. My head swivelled from one man to another, looking for an explanation.“I-I don't understand. That knife….” I trailed off, remembering that they weren't aware of the knife I had stolen.Caelum waved a dismissive hand, “Yes, you stole the knife to kill me, blah blah blah.”I threw him an incredulous look, “you knew about it?!”He snorted but it lacked humor, “every weapon in my armoury is well accounted for, I would be a shitty leader if I wasn't aware of my resources. Besides, there are cameras in the armoury and you're a shitty liar. Soren knew from your first meeting that you had taken something you shouldn't have so we went over the footage and we saw you try to sneak away with the cyanide and the dagger.” His voice was lowered at the ending. Soren stepped forward, “that isn't the important thing, we should be talking about how your dagger ended up in this man's chest.”I blanched, “do you think

Wren's POV The drive to the bakery was short but it felt like an eternity. My heart kept pounding and my hands grew sweaty, this fear was not from caelum, it was utterly my own. I kept thinking of the worst case scenario, the panic I had felt through the bond, was it Dane? Chills and cold sweat ran down my spine.A body…I was almost out of my mind with anxiety, if it was someone I knew, could I handle it? The added grief would push me over the edge, I just knew it. Losing someone else after losing my pup would break me and somehow, I didn't think I would recover from it.A sharp thought ran through my mind, could it be Caelum?If I was feeling chills before, I was downright shivering now. The panic I felt, had that been a call for help? No, i thought, soren would not be so composed if it was Caelum and I would have felt the bond break too. I checked the bond and it was as strong as ever, only a bit taut from the emotional distance between us, but it was there, a wave of relief cras

Wren's POV The next few days passed in a blur, time had lost its meaning to me. I wasn't eating much, I wasn't drinking much, I was just barely living. I was alive but not living, only existing.The hollowness in my chest grew bigger with every passing day but I hid it under fake smiles, smiles that I was sure everyone could see through but no one wanted to call me out on, maybe they were afraid to look closely and see the truth reflected in my eyes, well, until now.Robin slumped on my bed and sighed dramatically, “You have to got to get out of your room. You have been inside ever since you got back.” That was the term everyone had been using ‘got back’, it rubbed me the wrong way, one would think I travelled instead, like I had chosen to leave. Even now, I wanted to scream, I wanted to remind them that what happened wasn'ta prolonged vacation, I was kidnapped but I swallowed my words and gave a fake smile instead, the same one I had been giving everyone.“I'm always happier indoor

Caelum's POV It felt like I had been struck with a blow, something warm unfurled in my chest, “pregnant?” I asked, breathlessly.He nodded, I laughed in disbelief and rubbed my unoccupied hand over my face, i could feel the rough stubble on my chin. I was going to be a father, excited laughter burst out of me, I felt like I was on top of the world. Just then, something he said sunk in.“Wait, was?” I asked, confused. The sadness and grief in the doctor's eyes told me the answer but I didn't want to accept it. No, there was no way my pup was gone, I refused to accept it, I couldn't have gained and lost a child in just one second.“I'm sorry, alpha, she lost the pup.” The doctor said more but I couldn't hear it over the ringing in my ears. The words kept replaying over and over till I was drowning in them.Lost the pup….Lost the pup……I tasted bile at the back of my throat, my world continued spinning. I could hear Xyler howling in pain in the back of my mind. My pup, my first child,

Wren's POV Caelum and I sat in front of the elders, hand in hand, the idea was to present a united front and also to keep Caelum calm. He kept staring them down, his eyes flashing between the black eyes of his wolf and his normal violet eyes.We had been sitting here for almost 20 minutes in silen

Wren's povI grunted as I dragged the heaps of clothes towards the window. One thing caelum adored was his clothes, it was evident in the way he dressed and the fact that his closet was bigger than mine. I noticed brands upon brands, none of them cheap and I smiled evilly. “Red, what are you doing

Wren's povI took a deep breath and exhaled shakily, anxiety and dread filling my veins. My heart pounded at the thought of what could happen in the next minutes. I was standing in front of I and Caelum's room, my hand poised above the doorknob, ready to open. I would either leave this place in pea

Wren's POVBeware the love interest….I was slowly going out of my mind, everytime I closed my eyes, all I could see was the image of the bright blue wrapper with red hearts. It was haunting me.My ears were ringing and I could feel arms moving me, voices were trying to talk to me but I wasn't proc
