Semua Bab Throne of Desires: My uncle, My sinful mate : Bab 81 - Bab 90

PARIS POVI escorted Rain to the door and stood there until she was out of sight. All through, I could feel Triss’s gaze burning the hairs at my back. I shut the door and turned to her. “She’s not entirely that cold.” “No. She’s not,” Triss admitted. “Then what’s the tension between the two of you about?” She took her time roaming the spaces of her room before giving an answer. “That’s what comes with having a competition. A replacement,”“You think Jules replaced you with her?”“I mean…” she shrugged and turned back to me, but her eyes were elsewhere, as if they were intentionally avoiding making contact with mine so I wouldn’t see what truly lay in her thoughts. “Why else would you need a number two? It’s clearly because number one lacks something,” For half a second, Triss looked vulnerable. A side of her I’d never seen until this day. But she was too self conscious. And snapped out of her emotions quickly with a bright smile elating her face. “When do you think we should le

VINCENT’S POVSteffon stepped out of the hall and whispered into my ear. “Five” Five members of the high assembly. That was enough to commence a session. I made a stiff nod, cracking my brain with so many thoughts. “Take a car to Selene’s pack. I want you to handle something while this is going on,” I stopped speaking when Lily and Morgana walked out of the hall. They were permitted to see Selene for a few minutes.After they walked past us, I continued. “I want you to meet Selene's mother. I want to know why Helena left the club and how Mason got his hands on the red file,” “You haven’t heard?” He cut in immediately. I furrowed my brows, trying to understand what he meant. “How? Heard what?” “She’s bed ridden. Selene is now the war matron and has taken charge of everything her mother owns until the old lady can walk and speak again,”“How did this happen?” He shrugged and glanced at the door before us. “My guess is…Selene poisoned her mother to get back at her. Although the ass

PARIS POV We walked down the hallway quietly, passing the hanging torch lamps and the guards who paraded the building. I just crossed the meeting hall when a voice stopped me. “It’s quite late, lady Paris,” I stopped and turned instantly. Garish, Vincent’s loyal wolf. He walked out of the hall to meet me in the hallway. I covered a little distance between us as he leaned on the door post. “You just got here. And you’re already walking the halls this late. Do I have any reason to be bothered?” I glanced at the end of the hallway, where the girl had stopped before I heard Garish. But she wasn’t there anymore. Garish looked too to know what I was checking for. “Is there a problem?” “No,” I answered, sighing in relief just to waive his concern off. “I was told not to walk the halls at night when we were still here by Vincent. But now he’s gone, I want to see what it feels like,” I lied. Garish smiled. “Mind if I walk with you?” He offered.I was about to speak when someone crosse

VINCENT’S POV Liam followed me back to the castle, but he kept his distance. We didn’t speak to each other until I got to the hall where Steffon was waiting. Steffon straightened, closing in immediately. “We’ve been searching and waiting for you,” “I was only out for a few minutes,” I said. He glanced at Liam, whom I also looked at. “What?”“You were away for more than a few minutes, alpha Vincent,” Liam stated. He shook his head, joining Steffon where he stood. “You were away for more than three hours.” “What difference does that make?”“Margaret is gone,” Steffon reported flatly. My eyes stayed on him for sometime before they shifted to Liam. Liam’s face held an unmistakable approval. I stormed out of the room and made my way down to the room where her mother was given. I went in and met in empty. The clothes, shoes, and the few boxes that came with them were all gone. Liam and Steffon followed in almost immediately. “When did this happen?” “When you were away,” Steff

PARIS POVThe room fell dead silent after the servants walked out. All that was left was my reflection on the mirror, the ringing silence and the file sitting in the first deck of my drawer. It’s barely been forty eight hours since my return, yet the pressure from having every eye staring at me has increased. They never stopped. I just happened to be the one who thought I could run and hide from them. The ticking of the clock only made things worse.In two hours, the red gullet would begin. It is my first event as the owner of the club. For some reasons Theresa hasn’t shown up to claim what she left behind. Her absence only made things run smoothly. Surprisingly, Mason was helpful way beyond expectations. Telling me where to push and where not to. When to speak and when not to. Anyone who sees us out there would have no clue about the fire burning within. I reached for the last piece to compliment my outfit. The diamond necklace. It was a gift Triss got for me yesterday duri
