Almost...

Rhys. "There isn't much to my name, actually. " She whispered, a sad smile tagging at the corners of her lips, and I was literally itching to pull her into my arms and soothe the pain away. But I couldn't, not even as Rhys or as Theus. As Rhys, I long lost the right to be close to her, and as Theus, we weren't there yet. Now, I could only watch with clenched fingers as she got consumed with whatever bitterness she was wallowing in.. I had never regretted having been an assh*le to her before than I currently did. I guess the pain that she was going through was way deeper than words could actually explain.. " But you, on the other hand, seem very interesting, General Theus. " She stated, a small and unreadable smile playing on her lips, and for some reason, I became nervous. " So tell Rhys Callum," She squeezed out, her eyes red with anger, the previous smile wiped from her lips. Rhys Callum? For a moment, I thought I had missheard, but the anger in her eyes told

The session. .

Rhys. Before leaving, I waited until some she-wolf approached Sabrina, and it was not until she had someone that she seemed comfortable enough with that I finally relaxed and strode after the royal guard. I didn't know where we were headed to, but since I was posing as Theus, who I actually knew absolute nothing about, and whom I also assumed was very familiar with the royal palace, I had to act composed as I walked next to the guard. The walk from the arena to the Council's chambers seemed like an endless stretch, and we seemed to have walked like forever before we saw a familiar face.. It was Uncle Jake.. The sight of his familiar face had relief painting my fearures. I had so many questions that I needed to ask before I met with the royal coucil, and he was the only person, aside from Queen Rosa, who had the answers. " Can I have a moment with my niece?" He asked, his voice serious as he faced the royal guard, and after a moment of a silent battle, with thick tens

Someone...

Rhys. After my conversation with Uncle Jake, the rest of the walk was completed in a daze, and it was not until we stepped inside the Council's chambers that I snapped out of it . The room was dimly lit, and yet, with the use of my wolf's eyes, I was able to make out the faces. Sadly, they were all unfamiliar faces, with an exception of one particular face, the former Alpha King's, His grace, Alpha King Magnus. The moment I stepped in, their eyes turned to me, their gazes sharpened by curiosity and ...animosity? I couldn't tell. "Esteemed Council." I took a bow as I acknowledged, before the earlier guard wordlessly led me to the stage. There, they all had a clear view of me and thank goddess for the strict Alpha training and the royal blood in me... Otherwise, I would have caved in under all the pressure. The next minutes were spent in silence, and after standing for so long, after withstanding their strong and intimidating aura for what felt like ages, thin bea

Gunshots...

Rhys. " Theus?" Just then, I heard the lock twisting, and someone called from inside. Surprise painted my fearures at the recognition. It was Sabrina. There was no way I would mistake that voice. " Lady Sabrina?" I tried to mask the joy in my voice as I called out, but the moment I saw her, I froze in place, my eyes going wide in shock. She was dressed in a blue silk dress, the brightness perfectly contrasting with her pale skin. Her face was bare, with just some lip gloss to highlight her lips, and yet, she looked so beautiful, it was hard to look away. Her hair fell over her back in silk waves, and she wore a small, almost innocent smile as she looked at it! Damn it! I wanted to kiss those lips so badly I was almost losing my mind! She had no idea of what she was doing to me, did she? " Theus," I was pulled from my thoughts by her unsure voice. "Surprise!" She whispered, wearing a smile which looked somehow...stiff? " Congratulations on passi

I will make you ...

Rhys. She only managed to alert me before she froze in place, pure horror written all over her face. I heard a swiss sound as a bullet sped past me, scraping my right cheek, leaving a gushing wound, and blood flowing out freely. I didn't have the time to look at the assailants, though. I had my wolf.. I could heal faster, while Sabrina couldn't. So I braced myself, walking through the sea of bullets, running to her side. I didn't hesitate, I pulled her into my arms, covering her with my body while using my back as the shield, leaving it at the mercy of the bullets. For a moment, when our skins touched so closely, electric currents shot through my body, reminding me of everything the two of us were, everything I had worked so hard to deny and burn in the past, and the very thing that I was now trying to reclaim-our mate bond. It wasn't completely gone..It was still there, faintly so, a distant pull, a far cry from the force that used to push us to towards each

May I?

Rhys. . The last thing I recalled was my vision darkening as the pain became unbearable, then Sabrina's enraged voice, and the gunshots that followed shortly after. I might not have had a clear picture of what happened, but one thing stood out, it wasn't Sabrina who was shot. It was Ivy. And that should have been relieving, and it was, but the fear that followed shortly after was insurmountable! Sabrina had just shot a princess... She wasn't just in a mess. She was in a tight mess.... The thought of it had me waking up in a jolt, only to find myself in an unfamiliar room. " Sabrina?" When I woke up, that was the first word that slipped from my lips, as I frantically searched around, looking for her. " Theus? You are up?" Her voice was low, barely above a whisper, but the excitement in it was hard to miss. She then made her way towards me... I guess I had been too unfocused, searching all over for her that I missed her....She seemed to have been sitted in

A friend or a test!

Rhys. The swearing-in ceremony was divided into two parts. The official part where the rituals were performed, vows taken, and crowns worn. And then, there was the unofficial part, which naturally began with the new General and Lady General taking the first dance in the stage, for close to thirty minutes before others joined them.. "May I have this dance?" I was just about to ask, with my hand already outstretched when someone beat me to it. Disbelief and dissatisfaction coursed through me as I turned to see who the intruder was, and when our eyes locked, my blood went cold in an instant. And next to me, I felt it as Sabrina froze in place, her body going stiff. It was the Alpha King, Alexander. He wore a subtle smile as he looked at me, looking all harmless and friendly, but I knew the monster that hid behind that smile. By asking the new Lady General for the first dance, what exactly was he trying to do? To humiliate the new Royal General? To threaten

You can't fool me!

Rhys.. " Where is that thing? " Crown Prince Michael asked, and for a moment, I was too confused to react. What thing? No... That was not even supposed to be the question. Was the real Theus friends with Prince Michael? How? No.. I meant, why? And why the heck was I not informed? I almost shifted uncomfortably on my seat, but when I felt one particular gaze burning through me, I was forced to sober up.. There were only two explanations to the whole thing. It was either Alpha King Alexander knew that I wasn't the real Theus, and he was putting me through a test, using his son to expose me, and then, get me killed, quoting some twisted royal werewolf laws... Knowing Alpha King Alexander's shady character, that wasn't surprising... I mean, Ivy already knew that I wasn't the real Theus.. And given her close relationship with her father, it wouldn't be surprising if they were working together... So, it was either that, or Theus was actually a real friend of Pri

Learn from your nephew!

Rhys. " You can't fool me.." He whispered that to my ear, and my heart slammed so hard against my chest I almost growled. It felt like ages since I was lastly cornered like that. As an Alpha wolf, especially for a stubborn wolf like mine, when cornered, the first instinct wasn't to cower, it was to retaliate, to eliminate the threat, and right now, that's what my wolf wanted to do. But I couldn't lose my composure! I couldn't afford to slip. I was Theus! I had to be! It was the only way I could keep my mate safe. Had I failed? I actually didn't care! I was going to have him so confused, until he had no choice but to believe I was the real Theus! " You have always wanted to explore the world! Why would you let someone tie you down?" Prince Michael asked, with the same measured tone, and I slowly unclenched my fingers. Damn it! I was so worked up, thinking that he had seen through me, only to realise that the fool was talking about something else entirely! " Do
