Still Maxwell’s POV
“What makes you think that she is hiding something in this room?” Jason asked as we headed up the stairs, going up to my room.
“Well, for starters, I’ve seen her with weapons before, I got shot by her, remember?
Graciela also mentioned something about a phone that she hides with her. I’ve seen it before, I’ve seen her checking through her secret phone, but I’ve never had time to go through it.” I told him truthfully. I was leading the way, taking him up to our room.
“This is wrong man, this is so wrong. You could just ask her about it, I’m sure she would tell you the truth, she has changed since she came here, she isn’t the stubborn Stephanie that listens to no one, let’s just ask her about it Max, it’s way better than treating her like a common criminal.” He devises me, sounding unsure about what we are about to do.
“Don’t you fucking back down now, you can’t suddenly grow a conscience, not on my watch Jason. Now get your ass up here, I don’t fucking have all day.” I told him fiercely, kicking out her luggage from the walk-in closet, and pushing it toward him, while I searched the closet for anything she might be hiding.
“It is locked, it’s fucking locked. Where the hell do we get the fucking key?” he let out in frustration, causing me to look in his direction as he struggled to pick up the lock and open the bag. I stayed towards him, prying the luggage from his grip, ripping it open, and scattering its contents all around the floor, emptying the luggage.
“Congratulations, my king. You just found some set of pretty underwear. You know, I never got to see Stephanie’s undies while we dated, thanks for showing them to me, my king. They’re quite pretty and classy.” He said mockingly, earning him an angry growl from me.
“Mock me one more time, Jason, and I swear I’ll rip your fucking head off!!! Now keep searching this fucking room.” I growled at him. He rolled his eyes at me as he walked into the closet to begin his search. I knelt beside the bag, searching through the things that I scattered on the floor. I had seen her take out that phone from this bag, she even got her gun and knife from this bag too, I’m so fucking sure, I saw her clearly that night. Why are they no longer in this bag, did she move them?
Or maybe she got rid of them. She must have given up on her revenge mission, I guess she finally decided to let go of her grudges and accept me as her mate and her king. She must have thrown it all into the trash, or better yet, she may have completely destroyed them all. This could be the best day of my life, this may be the day that I’ll finally claim and bond with my mate. I can’t believe that she is finally going to accept me, this is so exciting. I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my body as I got so excited.
“Oh my God!!!
Oh my God!!!
Maxwell, you need to come here man, you need to see this.”
I looked up and saw Jason standing over an open box, going through a phone. The box looks like a briefcase but is slightly bigger than a briefcase. I guess it had been hidden inside her bag when she arrived. Damn, she’s so fucking smart. She must know that I would search through her bag to search for her weapons, which is why she moved the box out of her luggage, hiding it at a safer location. I guess she had thought that I would only check in her bag, she never thought that I would comb through the whole room to search for what she is hiding. I knew this was too good to be true, how could I have imagined that Stephanie would give up on her revenge plans and accept me so easily, what was I even thinking?
Holy Fuck!!!
I let out with a gasp when I walked over to where he stood looking so dumbfounded. The box is filled with weapons, more weapons than I had ever imagined that Stephanie would possess. She had more than one gun, I counted three guns and the bullets were too many, I just couldn’t count them and they were all laced with Wolfsbane. But that wasn’t what caught my eye. We found three little black boxes. One box contained my special green serum that Marcus had used earlier, the same serum that was hijacked before it could be safely delivered to me. I had suspected foul play when Marcus had attacked her, it’s obvious that she knows him before now, she had been working with him all along. How else could she have gotten her hand on this serum, it has to be from them, that is the only plausible explanation here. Would she have fucked that bastard if I hadn’t shown up on time, has she screwed him before?
That lying bitch!!!
I’m so going to kill her, she is so fucking dead. She thinks she can make a foul out of me, she must be a joker.
“I need you in my room right now!” I said through our mind link, ordering doctor Fred to come up here because I need his help in identifying the other liquid in the second black box. It’s a purple serum that looks exactly like my green serum, well, except for the color that is way different. The third box contains several rounds of silver bullets that are so rare and hard to find. Then she has some knives, different shapes, and extremely sharp blades. One slight cut from these blades could render me weak and vulnerable for week, it could even kill me, unless doctor Fred sucks out the poison before it gets to my heart.
Her secret phone is with Jason and he seems to be deeply engrossed in going through it. I was about to take it from him and see who she has been talking to, but the door pushed open, startling us in our actions. Doctor Fred walked in, wearing sweatpants and a lab coat to cover his upper body. He is carrying his box that holds his tools and He is looking at us in surprise as he viewed the weapons in front of us, trying so hard to understand what is going on here. He looks a little disheveled, I’m guessing he had run all the way from the hospital down to this place.
“Can you recognize this potion Fred, do you know what it is used for?” I spoke out loud, startling him from his thoughts. He took out one of the tiny bottles that held the purple serum, sniffing the bottle, looking closely at it for an inscription or something.
“Do you mind if I open it, King Maxwell?” he asked me.
“I don’t mind you opening it to take a look, but you have to be extremely careful, we still don’t know what it does.” I warned him sternly, taking a step back as he corks open the tiny bottle. Immediately he opened that bottle, the scent floated into my nostrils, taking me aback as I recognized the key ingredient used in making this serum,
“Vampires blood!!”
We all chorused in unison. It has to be king Ashford, there is no other insane person that could do something so despicable. He must have captured a vampire, drained him/her of every ounce of blood, using it to achieve his own selfish plans. Could he be waging war with the vampires as well?
There is no telling what a selfish, power-hungry king like him is capable of doing. I think I need to find out if he is waging war with the vampires, I can make them my ally, I would need them bunny side if I ever want to win this war. First I need to confirm and be sure that the purple potion is from him, if it turns out to be his potion, which I’m sure it would be, I would simply hand this potion to the vampire queen and I know she would take it up from there. She would know whose blood it is by the smell and when she sees the evidence that it was done by king Ashford, she would have no other choice but to work with me in bringing justice to that lunatic.
Doctor Fred took the potion away to conduct more tests and discover what it does to the body. He has a theory that this potion has the ability to make us faster and stronger. While my potion makes the Lycans weak and lifeless, his could make him stronger so he can kill it whenever he gets the chance, how evil!!
“Hand me that phone!” I ordered Jason in a stern tone.
“Huh?” was his only reply as he got scared all of a sudden, looking at me like a fucking moron. He has been holding it for some minutes now, I have no idea why he doesn’t want to hand it over to me, and now I’m so curious to know what else Stephanie has been hiding. I got up and snatched the phone from his hands, scrolling through her messages.
I saw fucking red!!!
Initially, I was pissed off at her, but right now, I’m mad, I’m so fucking mad!!!
That fucking bitch had been talking to king Ashford himself. She had been plotting this mission for a very long time now. She was talking to him, even before she found out about this party. I saw all the messages she sent to him, begging him to help her defeat me. He had ignored all of her messages, but she kept texting anyway. She promised to do anything he wants if only he could grant her that one wish. He had only responded to her messages when she told him that she has found a way to get into my Castle. I just don’t get it, how could she be so daft end stupid, can’t she see that he is only using her to get what he wants?
I decided to ignore their previous messages, I decided to scroll to their last message so I can know what they are planning. King Ashford is urging her to carry out the mission as soon as possible. He told her that one of his spies would provide more weapons and ammunition for her to use for the mission, and he told her that all the things she would be needing for the mission would be provided by his spies. He never mentioned the names of his spies, and he never told her how the spies would get to her, but I know that they were here in my castle and they gave her the weapons as he instructed. I can’t believe that king Ashford spies live with me in this Castle, he has his spies right under my nose and I had no fucking idea. I thought my Castle was impenetrable, how on earth was he able to get his spies in here. I’m going to find that spy and ill fucking kill him or her. I’ll kill them all.
“You are so Beautiful and courageous. I love keeping smart and beautiful women by my side, I love your bravery, Stephanie. After I get rid of that impostor of a king, I would have you as my mistress, I desire your beautiful body by my side.”
That was the king’s Ashford message to my woman, my mate. And guess what she said in response,
“It would be an honor to share your bed, my king. I would love nothing more than to be by your side forever, my king.”
I saw fucking red!!!
That lying bitch!!!
I’m going to kill that bitch, she’s so kicking dead, she just doesn’t know it yet. She wants me dead, not because of revenge, no. She wants me dead so she can run off with that bastard, Ashfords. Does she not know that king Ashford would simply screw her and toss her aside like garbage. After using her to satisfy his desires, he would hand her over to his boys and they would use her as they desire, then he would sell her off to his drug lords as a fucking whore.
The new thought of my mate being pawned off as a whore made me howl in anger as my wolf let out a mighty roar that shook the entire castle. How could she hate me that much, how could she prefer to be treated like a fucking whore than to be with me. Why was I given such a mate, why?
I’m furious,
I’m so mad,
So fucking mad.
She wants me dead, right? She wants me out of the way so she can be with King Ashford. Fine, I’ll grant her fucking wish. She can kill me right now if that would make her feel happy. I packed all her weapons in the box, then I lifted it up and carried it along with me, taking it down the stairs with me.
“What are you doing, Max?
Why are you carrying her bag and where are you going with it?
Maxwell please I am begging you, you have to sit down and think this through, you can’t think straight, I know that, so please calm down and reconsider your decision, please don’t hurt her Max, please, I beg of you. She is just a naive child. She has no idea what is happening around her. For my sake please spare her life,” Jason pleaded as he walked close behind me, keeping a safe distance from me. He kept mute for some minutes, I think he is trying to warn Harriet to take Stephanie out of that gym before I arrive. I stopped in my tracks, speaking without turning to look at him,
“I dare you, Jason. I dare you to warn them of my arrival. You don’t want to go down this path with me, trust me.” I told him sternly as I stormed forward, heading to my private gym where Harriet was training Stephanie to fight. I hope she has gotten enough training from Harriet because she would need all those training to defend herself from me.
