Arabella’s point of view.
(King’s palace_Wymond’s room)
I tiptoed towards the window, opened it as quietly as possible and stuck my head out to check the coast, which fortunately, but suspiciously enough was very clear.
A smile tugged the corner of my lips, I opened the window very wide and looked down -a frightened gasp slipped my mouth immediately.
The windows is very far from the ground, I have forgotten our room is at the seventh floor and jumping through the window is a suicidal ideation.
*What are you scared of? Aren’t you a werewolf?* Amy gave me a quick reminder.
I nodded.
*Yeah* I released a sigh of relief. *Wait, are you willing to help me escape from this room?* I asked her.
*Of course, I’m also feeling suffocates spending everyday in this room* she said.
*Whoo hoo!* I exclaimed in joy, this is actually the first time Amy’s willingly doing something with me.
I opened the window wider as if it’s not wide enough, then jumped off without wasting time but unfortunately fell on my face and I groaned loudly as I bruised my lower lip in the process.
*Amy, I thought we were doing this together!* I snapped at Amy.
Amy scoffed loudly.
*I can never do evil with you* she said and shut me out.
*Bloody liar!* I yelled at her even though I know she wouldn’t hear me.
Then I saw legs coming closer to me, I got up at once and made a run for it only to run right into a wall -a soft wall which I’m very familiar with.
He wouldn’t have known that I love escaping through the window, if Arthur didn’t catch me the other day -the day Black-Knight Alpha was breakout of prison.
Oh sweet moon goddess, just give me ability to do magic and let me rewind the time.
“Baby, are you going somewhere?” the very familiar voice of my mate asked.
“Nope” I answered popping the p.
Ok, so here’s what’s going on.
The whole palace’s security has tightened ten times than before because of me, Wymond somehow found out about the note Drake sent four days ago and he wouldn’t let me leave the palace since then -in fact, I haven’t left our room since then.
He’s got guards guiding our room 24/7, even Edward’s being avoiding me like a plague since I tried talking him into going with me to meet up with Drake -he’s too loyal to his King.
Thinking about it now, I think he must have been the one who told Wymond about the note and my plan of meeting up with Drake.
Now every pack and clan is on temporary lockdown since four days ago; no going to schools or parks or malls, Wymond’s worried that Oak might try to attack any crowded place.
Wymond’s been staying at the barrack all day recently, he’s supervising the royal fighters as they train and he only come home to get some rest at very late night -it’s only sometimes though, he mostly sleeps at the barrack.
It’s only three days away and Wymond will take the royal fighters to attack the masked man’s cave, I pray he turns out to be Oak and Wymond will face him and bring an end to all these troubles once and for all.
Right, I got to know the pearl bead is under the masked man’s care about two or three days ago… Wymond snapped his fingers crossed my eyes and I blinked.
“If you aren’t going anywhere, let’s go back to our room, yeah?” Wymond asked suggestively.
“Your Majesty, have mercy on me, I’ve been staying indoors everyday, at least let me exercise my legs a little bit” I begged him.
He shook his head.
“No, you called this upon yourself” he said.
I threw my head back and let out a dramatic cry, not caring if the guards are watching.
“I’m so gonna go crazy or worse, die of boredom if I don’t go out and stretch my legs” I whined, stomping my feet on the ground like a two years old.
He reached forward and flicked my forehead.
“I wouldn’t have put you on house arrest if you didn’t hide that note from me” he started pulling me towards the main door. “You can’t blame me for being strict”
“But you have guards following me everywhere, I can’t possibly slip away from them and meet up with Drake”
He growled and bared his teeth at me for mentioning Drake’s name, he’s warned me never to let Drake’s name proceed from my mouth.
“Renee is gonna come keep you company…”
“No, no, no, please” I cut him off. “Renee’s just gonna choke me with my coronation, she wouldn’t stop seeking my opinion on every single thing”
He stopped pulling me and smirked at me.
“Yeah, it’s only right that she seeks your opinion, it’s your coronation after all” he said.
An idea crossed my mind and I smirked mentally, I pouted my lips and pulled my hair as I gave him my best puppy eyes, he quickly looked away from me and cleared his throat.
“Don’t give me that look, it ain’t gonna work on me this time” he said.
I grabbed his shirt and tugged on it.
“How about I come with you to the training ground?”
“No” Wymond denied my request quickly.
I frown slightly.
“Why?” I grumbled. “I just wanna entertain my eyes, even if it’s just five minutes” I stomped on the ground.
Wymond grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the main door.
“Entertain your eyes with those naked, unmated males?” he scoffed. “Never!” he gritted out, jealousy obviously dripping off his words, even though he tried to hide it.
“Oh? They are even naked?!” I exclaimed excitedly, feigning being surprised. “That’s even better, I’ll so drool over their sexy bodies…”
“Baby, stop!” he growled warningly, but I ignored him.
“… I can imagine their strong abs, hairy chest” I licked my lips. “Oh, I love hairy chest…”
Wymond suddenly crashed his lips on mine, he kissed me furiously and possessively but shortly, although, I felt the serious warning he passed through the kiss -don’t think about others in front of me.
A gasp left my mouth when I felt him bite my lower lip, he pulled away and smirked victoriously at me, which earned him a very harsh glare from me.
“You’re never setting foot in the barrack” he said.
“Watch me!” I growled and turned away from him, then headed towards a direction -I don’t even know where I was headed.
Suddenly I started seeing Wymond’s butts upside down, I hit his back and kicked blindly.
“Hey, let me go! Put me down!” I shouted.
“Put you down so you can go drool over those ugly unmated males?”
I scoffed.
“At least let me be the judge of that, I should be able to tell if they’re truly ugly when I see them and….”
He spanked my @ss.
“Shut up or I’ll make out with you in front of everyone!” he growled and that shut me up at once.
He chuckled and patted my @ss gently.
“Now that’s a good girl” he said. “I won’t go to the barrack today, I’ll work from my office so I can keep you company”
I simply scoffed in return.

Third person’s point of view.
(King’s office)
“… we’ve done distributing the plan to every pack and clan, we’re waiting for your orders” Edward said.
Wymond nodded.
He handed a file to Edward.
“Take it to Renee and tell her to get everything on the list, it’s very important for the coronation” he said and massaged his temples, he looked so tired.
“Your Majesty, maybe you should get some rest” Edward suggested when he noticed his king’s expression.
Wymond shook his head in disapproval.
“No, I can’t rest now, there are still a lot to do” he replied.
“But you’re….”
“Edward!” he called sternly.
“Yes, your Majesty” Edward bowed and headed towards the door, but Wymond stopped him.
“Are there still no movements from the cave?”
“Oh, right” Edward turned to face him. “Our spies said he’s gathering and training about ten of those creatures outside the cave recently”
“Only ten?” Wymond asked.
“Yes, your Majesty”
Wymond narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
“He wants us to lower our guard” he said then waved Edward off. “You may leave”
“Yes….”
Edward was interrupted by a very loud scream, Wymond sprang up and dashed out of the room when he recognized it’s his mate’s voice -Edward rushed after his King.
Wymond arrived at their room (he and Ara’s room) in a minute, he pushed the door open and rushed in.
He saw his mate sitting on a sofa, she was in a shock state as she stared at her phone, with her mouth wide open and tears were continuously rolling down her cheeks.
“Baby, are you ok?” he asked with a frown as he took long strode towards her.
She suddenly threw her phone randomly on the sofa and jumped on him, she’d have fallen if Wymond wasn’t fast enough in catching her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck very tightly, to the point of almost choking him but he didn’t complain and hugged her back.
“What’s going on?” he asked again as she sniffled.
“It’s Daphne” she muttered.
“What’s wrong with her?”
“SHE’S FOUND HER MATE!!” she shouted and threw her hands up in the air and giggled loudly.
Wymond frowned at her words.
“Wait, was that why you were crying?” he asked.
“I wasn’t crying, these are tears of joy” she answered.
He inhaled deeply and puffed out some air, she held his face in her hands and started kissing him all over.
“My best friend’s found her mate, my best friend’s found her mate” she chanted as she kissed him.
