Ana.

“Okay, you can help him, right? Witches have magical powers, yeah?” I eagerly ask, and the man laughs shaking his head.

“No amount of spell will eliminate the poison in his blood or the wounds on his b*dy right now. He needs the antidote and after that, when his wolf recovers he will recover naturally” The witch explains and I hopefully look at Jace’s dad. He can get us the antidote from the pack hospital.

“Right now everyone who supports the king is laying low. That woman has eyes everywhere and I don’t think

will want to risk their families, honey” Alpha explains, and I sadly chuckle.

“Really? This man lying here has been taking care of them for ages, and not even one doctor from his entire kingdom can help him in his time of need? Let’s see how they handle that b*tch then” I whisper and move to the bag Jace brought.

I will not rest until my father is okay, even if it means I will have to risk sneaking in their labs to get the medication.

After mixing the drugs like Jace did earlier, I take my dad’s hand and carefully inject it into his vein. As long as he is not in that woman’s claws, he will be okay.

“I can sneak in their labs without being noticed” The witch suddenly says and I quickly look at him.

“I will come with you” I quickly say standing up and slightly hiss at my painful b*dy. “Just in case we have a lot of stuff to carry, I can be of help” I add when they stare at me like what I just said is crazy. “You look weak and injured. I want this to be quick, so just take care of your father, okay?” The man says and after a click of his fingers, he disappears in the air like he was never here.

“I know I sound mean but we can’t risk anything, honey. If one talks out of fear, you know it will be bad, right? Also, everywhere is tense, we don’t know who we can trust or who the spies are. We can’t involve any more people until the King is back on his feet. If I go back to the pack hospital for more medicines it will raise attention” Alpha pats my shoulder and I nod staring at my dad.

His handsome face is immensely swollen, you wouldn’t recognize him at all. He has multiple wounds on his b*dy that are covered by dry blood. His clothes are tattered and full of his blood. They beat him as if he were an enemy.

My once handsome dad is reduced to nothing. I hold his hand and sniffle. Seeing him this way brings tears of pain into my eyes.

“Can you help me clean him up, please?” I pleadingly stare at my adoptive father and he frantically nods. “Of course sweetheart, I brought him fresh clothes to change. Give me a hand, son” He says calling over Jace who has been silently standing in the doorway. Is it just me or does Jace seem off?

He is not acting as his normal self and I know he will not talk to me even if I ask.

When the two men carry my father to the bathroom, I rush to the luggage Alpha brought for a clean bedspread. After changing the sheets, I walk to the kitchen to see what my mate had prepared, only to be disappointed once again.

Didn’t he say he wanted to make breakfast? After helping me with the shower, it took approximately thirty minutes before his dad and the witch arrived. That was enough time to prepare something.

Either way, I don’t dwell on that and instead decide to make it myself. My dad might wake up anytime. soon and I want him to replace something to eat when that happens. He will need energy to heal and hopefully, he will train me before we together rip that b*tch into useless pieces.

An hour later, the small dining table is covered with a variety of food. I prepared fried potatoes, Toast, eggs, sausages, fruits and apple juice.

The men emerge from the small room my dad is occupying and silently pull their chairs.

“You never used to cook Ana. In fact, you were too lazy to do anything, not that you needed to anyway”

Dad says filling his plate with food and I chuckle.

“Well, someone didn’t let me Dad. I was innocent” I steal a glance at my mate and he winks at me.

“I know, honey. He spoiled you too much, At some point, I almost thought your legs weren’t working” He jokes again and we laugh. Jace used to carry me everywhere, he was so strong and since I was so lazy, I got used to it. He wouldn’t even let me fill my glass of water.

“I miss those days” I sadly mumble staring at my plate. Those are the days I used to live happily. My only worry was eating and sleeping. There were no enemies wanting to kill me or the fear that Jace might be hiding something from me. We were just happy.

I feel a presence behind me and before I know it, strong arms are wrapped around me.

“I am sorry baby, a lot is happening and I don’t want to lose you” Jace whispers and k*sses my temple.” I still love you as much, even more” he adds and I raise my head to look at him.

“The boy who loved me, never hid anything from me like you are doing right now Jace, I know when something is troubling you,” I say and he reluctantly pulls away. Jace glances at his dad and back at me. He looks hesitant and guilty.

Goddess! Did he do something again?

“Is there something we should know, son?” Dad places his cutlery on the table and shifts his attention to Jace and I do the same.

“Mmh…Yes..” Jace nervously runs his hands in his hair and my heart jumps in anticipation. I hope it’s not something that will break us again.

“Wait a minute” Alpha holds up his index and pulls out his phone. When a gasp leaves his l*ps, we shuffle closer to peek and we gasp too.

“What is happening?” I whisper staring at the screen in shock and anger. The b*tch is at it again.

“Like I said the other day, everyone knows what happens when you betray the throne” It’s another streamline from the queen but this is worse.” My dedicated men have been working hard to replace the traitors and today, I am happy to announce to you that they are successfully caught” The b*tch proudly points at my dad’s shadow guards, beta Fred and his son.

They are beaten to a pulp just like my dad.

Mother chuckles and continues, “Previously, the traitors used to be killed by a sword but I think that is a too-quick death, that’s the reason people don’t learn a lesson. I have come up with a more suitable form of punishment” She motions on her right and there are huge croses coated with silver.

Siver chains hung on the crosses and my blood runs cold just thinking of what that poison is capable of. “From today, if anyone goes against me, will be hung on those crosses, they won’t be fed or given water. They will stay there all days and nights bound with silver until their bodies give up” She finishes with a proud smirk and I stare at her red-painted l*ps in disgust.

“She is a devil. No one has ever ruled this kingdom in this manner” Alpha whispers and we we wearily watch as the innocent men are mounted on the silver posts.

“The witch was right, it’s about to get messy” I mutter contemplating what to do. We need to save them. “I will go bring more medicine for the King. I don’t care anymore” Dad mutters getting on his feet.
