Chapter 104
Nyroth
I sign the last decree and hand it over to Kai, then lean back in my chair with a sigh.

“Inform the packs we trade with that we’ll be renewing our partnership, especially Horn Pack. They’ve been begging for it. Tell the Alpha we’ll be signing more deals.”
“Alright, Alpha Nyroth,” he replies and leaves immediately, eager to complete the errand. I remain seated for a long moment, lost in thought.
A week has passed since the meeting where we would reject one another, a week remembering how she stood fiercely against my mother, my sister, and Kaela.
I’ve always felt something about Zeph didn’t add up. Now I know. She is nothing but a whore. She must have lied about her virginity to gain my favor, and now, catching the Lycan King’s attention, she dares raise her voice in my face.
I set my jaw hard. She hasn’t even flinched seeing Kaela in my arms. Something that usually is enough to break her heart.
I lower my gaze to think. The hairpin.. she must have stolen it from Kaela. If not, why wasn’t she there that night when I woke?
I rise from my seat and push open the door to my office.
Down the hall, whispers reach me. It’s my sister and mother. I push open the door, and Olivia nearly jumps out of her skin. She steps back quickly, hiding the result of her trial test, again, for the healing school.
I study her face, and slowly, I understand. I walk into the living room, extending my hand.
“Give it to me.”
“But…”
“Now!” I snap. She shudders and passes me the paper, retreating behind our mother.
I glance down. Failed again. I swallow hard. Slowly, I look up, but my mother steps forward.
“You can’t blame her. Your mate has already traumatized her enough. On the eve of her trial, That Rogue of a mate came to insult and stress her. If only you had acted sooner…”
Zeph. Again?
“At the trial, everyone whispered there was no healer like the Princess in the Lycan Kingdom. If only Zeph could help me meet her…” Olivia complains, voice trailing off as I stare harder.
I sigh.
Olivia is right. I’ve seen the Lycan princess heal. She works miracles, detecting cures in seconds. But Zeph won’t help. She’s a liar and a useless rogue. Maybe Kaela.

“You should get ready. I’ll arrange a meeting with the Lycan princess for you.”
“Really?!” she exclaims, then, under my gaze, nods and withdraws.
“Do you think you can?” my mother asks, worry in her voice. “We all know how much the Lycan King protects his sisters. Zeph won’t help.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll find a way.”
“Of all packs, Ash Pack?” I warn her.
“They were warriors. We saved Blackbridge from an infant ruler. We must save Ash Pack from rotting,” she says, taking my hand gently. “I actually wanted to meet you tonight, Nyroth. We have things to discuss.”
She steps back, lowering her gaze, sadness forming.
“Years ago, I saved your life, Nyroth. Then I lost everything when the empire sent me on a mission for peace. I never knew you’d be mated to another, that you’d bring a woman into your home.”

My heart sinks. I step to her, taking her hand, but she pulls away.

“You doubt I saved you. You compare me to that rogue, and now… I don’t know who you are anymore.”
“Kaela, stop.” I cup her cheek, searching her eyes. “I feel nothing for Zeph. You know it. She insulted my mother, you, and my sister. In front of all elders. She must pay.”
“Hasn’t she paid with the heartache of knowing the Lycan King will marry another?”
“I want more. A disgrace to show everyone she’s nothing but a slut, a rogue, useless.” I lean to kiss her. “She is nothing like you.”
She smiles wickedly and suggested.
“How about a public rejection ceremony? Invite Alphas, Lunas, Betas, elders, pack members from near and far. Even the Lycan Kingdom. There, you’ll strip her of everything and expose her as the useless rogue she is. I can host it for you.”
Pleasure tingles through me. I kiss her again, agreeing to her wise words.
