Chapter 145 James Was After Rosalie

**Soren POV

I had never thought I'd enjoy my days doing nothing, but staying in the cabin that Rosalie providedme, knowing I was in her territory and she'd come by once in a while to visit was a welcomedchange in my life.

Looking around the cabin she had given me to use, I noticed a few details that could use someimprovements. Since I had so much free time, I decided Id take on several small homeimprovement projects to make this place my own.

There still were many things I needed to figure out and many people I would need to faceeventually, like my uncle, like Ethan, but for now, I was happy with staying in a forgotten corner inthe far north.

When I first walked in, I was in shock over the disarray, but I could see she was trying to give mesomething of my own.

Moving around the cabin, I slid off my jacket, and laid it on the small sofa. Id asked for some paintwith more contemporary colors. If I was going to stay here for a while, then I would see to it thatthis place was fixed up, and changing the color theme was step one.

“Boss, are you around?’ Thomas’ voice rang through my mind, startling me for a moment.

“Thomas, you b*stard!" I scolded him. I had wanted to do so, but he was rarely awake ever sinceRosalie brought him back here. According to Rosalie and Seraphine, Thomas was wounded wayworse than me.

I had checked on him a few times, but he wasn't conscious. The doctor said it would take time. Iknew he had disobeyed my orders so that he could save me, I appreciated that, so I couldn't reallybe angry at him. After all, he didn’t want to run away on his own.

“How are you feeling?’ I asked.

I'm fine now. Whatever they used on me was really effective. Most of my external wounds arehealed. It just took me a bit to wake up,’ he told me, his voice sounding strong despite his recentinjuries.

“Then go back to sleep, you idiot!" I chided. I couldn't imagine he had anything important to tell mesince he'd been completely unconscious for so long.

“Boss, I've been awake and up and about for a couple days now. However, I heard about yoursituation and figured I'd better not act recklessly. That's why I didn’t mindlink you. It seems likeyou're in a fairly good mood though? he asked me. Was he being sarcastic? Did I seem like I was ina good mood?

“Shut up. If you didn’t need me for two days, what do you need me for now?’ I rolled my eyes, eventhough he couldn't see it.

“Come on, boss. Just because I guessed right, you don’t need to dismiss me. I assume you don'tneed me to get you out of where you are?

“No, I don't need rescuing,’ I chuckled internally. “What's up?’ II asked him in a firm tone.

Actually, I do have news for you. I heard from Damian that the queen miscarried her baby.

I let that sink in for a moment and tried to figure out why he was telling me this. The queen losingthe child didn’t come as a shock to me. I had planned that from the very beginning.

Based on my intel, the queen was poisoned many years back. When they finally figured out that itwas the poison that caused her to lose her fertility, she had been looking frantically for the antidotethrough the years

When Damian told me that, I happened to have just found out about Rosalie’s bloodline. I was ableto obtain some of her blood and sent it over to Damian. Her blood had such healing power that itdid work as an antidote, and the queen was able to conceive.

However, both the king and the queen were no longer young. It was highly unlikely that they wouldactually be able to produce a healthy heir any more. Especially since the queen suffered

from the poison for so many years; her body was no longer suitable for carrying babies.

That meant... if they were to try again, they would continuously need Rosalie’s blood to strengthenthe queen's physical condition in order to sustain the entire pregnancy. However, I never revealed toanyone where the blood came from. As far as I knew, even Damian didn’t know the true source ofthe blood.

I smirked, “What does that have to do with me?’ He couldn't be telling me this just because heexpected me to feel sorry for the royals.

“Boss, it doesn’t have anything to do with you. But you may want to warn Rosalie because Jamesseemed to have figured out the source of the blood."

My eyes widened, and my heart stopped beating for a moment. I knew sooner or later, this wouldno longer be a secret, and that was what I had told Rosalie earlier, however, I didn't expect it to be50 soon!

“F*ck! How much time do we have?’ I asked, frantically. The implications of this situation could beastronomical.

“Not much. That's why I reached out. McGintry was the one who informed me. They've spottedJames's secret agents around the northern borders. They are coming for her! Thomas explained,making my breath catch in my throat.

If James was going to get her, they would need her alive, but there was no telling what Jamesprobably had going through his mind right now after losing that child. Even if they took her andplanned to keep her as a prisoner and use her blood, that would be a hopeless situation for Rosalie.I couldn't let that happen.

But James was a desperate man, and oftentimes, desperate men went to great lengths to get whatthey wanted.

“I will deal with it. You stay safe and lie low,’ I ordered. Thanks, man.’

“Don’t mention it. You have no idea how much I'd rather hand her over. But the war is over, and Idon't like owing a lady the favor of saving my *ss.’

I let out a chuckle at Thomas's ridiculous statement, but the situation was quite serious, and Ineeded to act right away.

Severing the mind link, I ran towards the front door of the cabin and burst out of it. My movementswere not going unnoticed by the guards who shouted at me to stop before I found myselfsurrounded.

"Where do you think you are going?” one warrior growled, his eyes firmly upon me as if he wantedto rip out my throat.

“I need to see Her Majesty. It's an emergency,” I replied, trying to make them see reason. They werewasting time, and we'd already lost too much of it.

“You don’t deserve to be anywhere near our queen. You should have been executed the moment wefound you, but the queen’ s kindness is the only thing that saved you,” the other guard, a man atleast a foot taller than me with a good twenty more pounds of muscle, gritted out.

Irritation filled me at hearing the man’s words. Perhaps he was right, but at this point in time, Ididn’t have time to deal with his crap. I had to replace Rosalie before it was too late.

“Move or I will remove you,” I growled in frustration, narrowing my eyes at them and mentallypreparing to shift.

“Enough!” a woman's voice called out, and as the men looked back, I saw a woman in white-robedwalking towards me with an irritated glint in her eyes. “Leave us,” she ordered, and I watched as theguards bowed and walked away.

I knew her. The high priestess Cerina.

Closing the distance between us, I said, “I have to replace Rosalie. It's important.”

“No, you don't get to make demands, Soren,” she replied, causing me to roll my eyes. She stoppedin front of me and folded her arms, a determined look on her face.

“She is in danger,” I snapped.

Cerina stared at me for a moment with suspicion, as if she wasn't sure I was telling the truth. Finally,she said, “She isn't here. She just left a short while ago for the front.”

Fear crawled through me upon hearing her words. If Rosalie was out there, that meant she wasfalling prey into a trap that was set for her. She was in more danger than she could possiblyimagine.

“We have to call her back!” 1 yelled, running a hand through my hair in frustration.

"What makes you think she is in danger?” Cerina asked, narrowing her eyes.

"King James's queen lost her baby,” I frantically explained. “He is out searching for Rosalie now,intending to use all of her blood to cure his wife.”

Her eyes widened in shock as her lips parted. “Oh, my goodness. D*mn it Soren. What have youdone?!”

I didn’t have time to stand there while she chastised me. “We have to get to her before they do.”"How do we know you're telling us the truth, and you aren't working with James?”

I changed my tone, becoming more apologetic. “Look, I'm not trying to cause problems. I know Imessed up with Rosalie before, but I am trying to fix that honestly. I am not trying to deceiveanyone. I just want her to be safe.” The confession left my lips, and as I let it sink in, my heartswelled.

I was finally doing something that was for someone else. I realized what was important, and itactually felt... good.

“If you won't help me protect your queen, then I will do it myself. Let me pass.” I lifted my chin indefiance and awaited their decision.

She stared at me for a moment before looking at her guards. “I'll send men to confirm, but Soren,you'd better stay.”

“There's no f*cking time. Do you not understand?!” I raised my voice, and seeing that there was noway I could persuade her peacefully, I went ahead and shifted. She was taken a little aback at first,but the warriors immediately shifted as well, about to subdue me by force.

"Ooohoooo!” I howled, readying myself for the fight.

However, Cerina raised her hand to stop the warriors. “Let him go, but follow him,” she said. “Soren,please do not let her down again.”

I nodded my wolf head, and the woman gestured for the guards to allow me to leave the grounds.If Rosalie got hurt because of my foolishness, I would never be able to forgive myself.
