Maximus couldn’t sleep, he <b>was </b>steaming with anger, and the only thing that held him back from storming out of the room and issued an order to raze down the ck Stone pack was his mate.


    After crying, and hyperventting for long time, she finally fell asleep, and he didn’t want to leave her alone.


    But, in the morning, Maximus would make sure to issue an order to kill that bastard alpha, who had forced himself into his mate, and spread false rumor about her.


    He would get him caught.


    However, when the morning came, a shocking news hit him first.


    “L was found dead in her bedroomst night,” Eiten said, he looked upset, because he was quite close with the healer, and the thought someone had harmed her inside the pce was unsettling, which meant that ce was not safe.


    “What the cause of her dead?<b>” </b>


    “Poison.”


    This news was sent directly to the king by the royal beta the first thing Den did when he learned what happened.


    Currently, Maximus and Eiten were walking toward the dining room, where all of the people were waiting for them.


    There were other things that the king had to do today, since his visit was packed for two weeks, but it seemed they had to cut short with their visit and returned to the pce.


    L was not only a healer, but she was one of a rare people, who believed in Maximus and secretly treated him whenever he was badly beaten.


    She couldn’t go against the previous king openly, since it would be a dead sentence for her, but she helped with whatever she could.


    “We are leaving this afternoon,” Maximus said. He wanted a thorough investigation on this matter. A dead by poison. It was an obvious thing; she was killed.


    As a healer, there was no way she didn’t know that she had consumed poisonous thing. And if she was killed within the pce’s walls, which meant the enemy was very close.


    “Okay, I will cancel all the meetings for the rest of your visit.” Damn. It would be a lot, since they just arrived two days ago.


    However, Eiten knew why Maximus wanted to go back. He wanted to return as well, and learned everything in detail.


    “What is it?” Eiten almost ran into Maximus when he suddenly stopped walking and then turned around to face him. “What?”


    “I want you to send someone to get Caden, I want to kill him with my own hands.


    “Caden?” Eiten didn’t get it at first, but then he only knew one person with the name of Caden that could piss the king off, “You mean alpha Caden from ck Stone pack? Why?”


    The royal beta was not sure what kind of bloodlust state Maximus was in right now, but he believed, killing Caden was not the answer and it wouldn’t help with anything. “Why do you want to do that?” Eiten narrowed his eyes incredulously. “I am not going to let you go into a killing spree, okay. We have a better thing to do”


    Maximus wanted to strangle him, but he understood why Eiten reacted this way. “It was false rumor. He forced himself into my mate. He spread lies about the future queen of the kingdom, and lied to the king’s face. Those reasons are enough to convict him with treason.”


    “What?” Eiten blinked his eyes, he had a hard time to grasp with what Maximus told him, because it sounded insane, but then, he had this suspicion for a long time, yet he didn’t have the proof to support it. “How do you know that?”


    “Rania told mest night.”


    “She opened up to you?!” Eiten asked incredulously, not because he didn’t trust the king, but simply because he couldn’t believe after all he had to go through to ask her to open up with him, she finally did it, but with


    Maximus.


    Well, they were mate after all, the level offort that Eiten could give her couldn’t match with Maximus’s.


    “Do, as I said,” Maximus said sternly because Eiten was having a lot of question.


    “Okay. I will get him.” Eiten then walked away, while Maximus entered the room, where alpha Kehn and the other people had been waiting for him.


    They didn’t know what kind of storm that was brewing outside, neither they learned about the dead of the pce’s healer.


    Maximus came to tell them about the short version of the event, and warned them to be prepared for anything that woulde their way.


    Rania didn’te this morning because she was still sleeping, the emotional turmoil that she had to go throughst night, drained her.


    More so, Maximus wanted to spare her from this unnecessary trouble. She had gone through a lot, and he didn’t make her life easier either.

    There was a rapid knock on the door, which woke Caden up. He was pissed because it was still very early in the morning.


    He cursed under his breath when he got out of the bed, pushing away Cassie from his arms, as the woman was still sleeping, tired because she had to please him the whole night. There were a few stains of blood on the bed, because of how rough Caden was with herst night.

    “What is it?!” Caden snapped. The light from <b>the </b>corridor irritated his eyes, the sun was almost up<b>, </b>and the sky had turned bright red. “It’s better an important thing, or else I am going to kill you,” he groaned.


    It was his beta, he furrowed his <b>brows</b>. Dorian then handed him a letter. “I received this letter ten minutes ago. Killian sent this with urgent message.”


    “What?” Caden was not in the mood to <b>deal </b>with anything troublesome so early, but the look on his beta’s face told him this was a matter of life and death.


    And apparently, it <b>was </b>thetter.


    “What the fuck,” Caden cursed under his breath. The letter was very precise, it exined what Killian had done. “He should have consulted this with us first!” Caden was enraged.


    <i>The </i>letter told him that Killian had killed the pce’s healer because she was about to figure out the poison


    from Kean.


    “I don’t think he has enough time for that.” Dorian then exined to Caden about his opinion. “This is a reckless action, but this is necessary.”


    “I know.” Caden closed his eyes to thaw his anger, but Dorian didn’t stop there.


    “I have told you before, don’t rush the n. You will ruin it, see what happened now.” Dorian had been on Caden’s ears to add dosage into the king’s poison.


    “I don’t need you to scold me, Dorian.” Caden opened his eyes, and red at his beta, who lowered his head in submission. “Tell me more about the situation in the pce, keep our people on alert, and ready to take quick action if necessary.”


    “What are you going to do now? Don’t be reckless.”


    “I am still thinking about our next step.”


    However, in the afternoon, the pce warriors came to ck Stone pack to arrest him. They took Caden to the pce.
