“You’re the rogue king? 1 gulped, worry etching across my face. I was instantly shaking at what else I was going to learn here.

“I am. My queen and I have been locked in here for a very long time, the man yelled from inside, but it wasn’t the aggressive shout. It was like he was having a hard time making the words come out of his l*ps.

“But then–why would your son keep you here?” I whispered in shock, fear and panic rising within me.

“My son? My son would never do that to me,” he uttered weakly from the other side.

“If Samuel didn’t lock you here, who did?” I questioned in utter confusion. Until now, I thought maybe Samuel did it. I mean, the mant inside claimed to be the rogue king, and since the title was passed onto Samuel, he had to be their kid. But why were they locked in here, and why were these people claiming that Samuel didn’t lock them in here? Was Samuel really that clueless that his parents were locked right under his nose, and he had no clue?

My mind was running miles, coming up with theories and questions but no answers that could suit this situation well.

“Samuel? That asshole is not my son,” the man’s voice lost its calm and as he groaned angrily for a minute before he started coughing.

*Be

calm.

We ar

are not in a condition to be losing our control, the woman spoke to her mate in the softest tone.

“Wait, Samuel is not your son?” I gulped. I had tears of fear and utter terror appearing and disappearing in my eyes.

“No! Why would you think he is our son? Our kids are twins and they aren’t even fifteen, the woman explained from the other side, but it only confused me further.

I

“I am so lost. Samuel is the rogue king, so he has to be your son,” I mumbled, scratching the back of my neck in bewilderment. My skin was constantly covered in goosebumps. Whatever this situation was, it seemed scary.

“We were happily living with our kids in this castle that was passed down to my mate, Rogue King Holland, from his ancestors when one day, we heard a knock on the door from this young man who claimed to have been kicked out of his pack and was helpless and hungry. We brought him inside, let him stay with us, and even fed him. He was very sweet and kind. He would play with our kids and help them with their studies. My mate and I began to wonder if we could just call him our son and let him stay with us forever, the lady spoke softly, but I was guessing that she wasn’t as old as I thought they were. It was probably because of how long they had been kept here.

“Then? What happened next?” I asked as I forced a gulp down my throat.

“However, I started suspecting him of doing something behind our backs when we found him sneaking into our little garden where we had many herbs, especially the healing ones. But there

was this one specific kind of herb that kept going missing, Rogue King Holland continued as his mate took a break.

I noticed how difficult it was for them to talk for a long time. I wondered if they were underfed and even getting water.

“What kind of herb?” I questioned with worry.

“A little red kind. It was poisonous, and even if given to someone in a small amount, it would keep their wolves asleep for ages until they got the cure,” as he mentioned the wolf part, my heart sank in my chest. I recalled how long it had been since Nera had woken NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“What–what was he doing with the herb and what cure?” I began to ask with more hesitation now.

“He was planning to use that herb to paralyze wolves of people that he didn’t like. In fact, there was a certain someone that he wanted to attack because he wanted his mate,” Holland took a pause to catch his breath, but I was now frozen in shock and fear

“What? Who–who was that man and who was his mate?‘ I was unable to swallow the fear in my mouth and even form a full sentence.

“It was the alpha king–the young alpha king Hunter. They were recently married, and Samuel had lost his mind over it. He wouldn’t stop crying about it and even said that he was friends with alpha

king Hunter. I guess his mate was someone who had caught this man’s eye in one of the mate balls. He would often talk about Reyna and say that he had a feeling she could be his mate because his wolf felt more alive around her,” the man stopped talking, but I had lost all my senses.

My body was shaking badly as I was beginning to realize all that time, Samuel knew me. He had waited for years to come before me and even make me his.

The fact that he was so right that I was his mate was just beyond me.

“Who are you?”

you?” the woman asked suddenly.

As I began to shiver, I opened my mouth and said in the softest utter, I am Reyna. I am Hunter’s wife, mate, and his son’s mother.”

All I could hear from the other side was a gasp.

“You are Reyna Cruz? Oh God! What are you doing here? Please don’t tell me he succeeded in persuading you to leave your mate him,” the woman let out a cry, begging me not to be in love with this psychopath.

“I was rejected by Hunter by the time I met Samuel. We felt the mate bond and after that, he tricked me so well. I thought he was the kindest soul but then–I had to go back to Hunter and marry him. That happened recently, and it made Samuel lose his mind. He–he had been accusing Hunter of killing rogues–and my friend Polline. So I came here to stay for a night until I am feeling better and now I am stuck,” I was yammering because I couldn’t come up with an excuse for Samuel anymore. I was now certain that I was as trapped here as these two people here, the rightful owners of this castle.

“Oh no! It is not your fault that you got fooled. He had us fooled too. He is an evil person who can act very sweetly if he wants until he gets what he wants. And he got you now, the lady started to cry before she added, “are–my kids in the castle with him?”

My heart sank in my chest at her inquiry. Samuel took their kids away?

Was he really capable of so much evil and then he accused Hunter of such nasty crimes?

“I haven’t seen any kids here,” I murmured. “I am going to get you out of here. I will get Hunter’s help.” I broke down as I recalled Hunter. He was not lying when he said he couldn’t transition. Samuel had injected us with that herb.

“Hey!

Can you please tell me where I could find that cure?” I asked, shaking miserably and hoping they could help me.

“Right here,” Holland uttered, “we had the secret garden here. These herbs didn’t need sunlight. And sadly, Samuel learned all about

from us. He makes us take care of these herbs while he keeps our kids alive.”

I was in a state where I was in and out of consciousness at this point. But I knew for a fact that I must not lose my consciousness, at least not here.
