“What is wrong with her?!” Fear was a new experience for me. Seeing my mate lying there, hardly breathing, pale as death, the fear monster clutched at my heart, digging its claws in deep. I touched her cold face, rubbed her hands, willing her to open her eyes.

“Your Majesty, please give me some space to examine the queen.” The healer pushed me out of her way.

I was too concerned to reprimand her for daring to touch me. Rage whined in my head, calling for Tasha but she too was disturbingly quiet. There was so much blood. It just kept flowing out from between her thighs. Did I do this? Did I hurt her?

Pacing the floor, tearing at my hair, I couldn’t think what I could have done to hurt her like that. She was fine a few minutes ago. We were having breakfast and then….

Poison!

“Healer! She was poisoned.” I grabbed the woman’s arm.

She looked up at me frowning. “What makes you say that your Majesty? To me it seems she had a miscarriage.”

Miscarriage? The words shocked me to the core. The strength left my legs, and I sagged down onto the bed next

I to my pale

mate.

“Yes, I’m sorry. But she is young and strong. Bedrest and plenty of fluids. She will make a full recovery in a few weeks.” Healer Gwyneth patted my hand. “Don’t lose hope, Sire. She will conceive again.”

A movement at the open door caught my attention.

“Your Majesty is everything… Oh, Heaven!” Rhona’s hands flew to her mouth. “What happened?” She rushed to Raine’s side.”

I couldn’t answer her.

“Help me clean her up, girl. Your Majesty, please leave. We need some privacy.” Healer Gwyneth put her hand on my shoulder, and I turned my eyes to her. “Please. I’ll call you once we’ve made her comfortable.”

I got up and pulled my robe closed. My legs took me to my office. The black rose, the funeral dirge and now this. A miscarriage? This was too much of a coincidence.

rushed back to the bedroom when Healer Gwyneth linked me. Raine was sleeping deeply. Softly I touched her hand and it felt warmer. Fear still had a tight grip on my gut, but at least some color had returned to her cheeks. Her wolf was healing her.

“Make sure that she stays in bed, your Majesty. I will come back tonight to see how she is.” Healer Gwyneth bowed to me and left us alone.

Rhona had tears in her eyes when she looked at me. “I won’t say anything, Sire. This is awful. My poor lady.”

“I appreciate it. No one must know about this.” I stopped her from taking the tray with the remains of the breakfast. “Rhona, what tea is this?” That was the only thing only Raine had.

Rhona took a sniff at the tea and frowned. “Why, this is the tea you had ordered the healer to make for her Majesty.”

“Me?” I did no such thing. “Our healer made this?”

Rhona clutched at her throat, grey eyes wide with fear. “You think Healer Gwyneth had something to do with this? But why?”

I didn’t answer. But I would get to the bottom of this, and whoever was responsible for this, for my mate losing our baby, oh, by the g ods, they will pay.

“Stay here with her. I have something urgent to deal with.” I placed a kiss on Raine’s forehead and went inside. my dressing room to change. I was about to pay a visit to the boy in the tower.

On my way to the tower, my trusted bodyguards in tow, I linked Ross and Lord Grayson to meet me there.

“Stay.” I dismissed the guards at the door. Ross and Grayson waited for me inside the tower room.

“He’s still not talking, your Majesty.” Ross pulled the young wolf’s bruised face up by his hair.

I was impressed by the defiant look in the pup’s eyes. For a moment.

“None of the others know whose pack he is from, apparently. They fear retaliation, Sire.” Lord Grayson wiped his hands on the captive’s shirt.

“I will break him!” Rage roared, staring at the boy from my eyes.

I will handle it, I told him. “Bring him some food and water. Unchain him.”

“What?” Ross stared at me.

“I don’t think…” Lord Grayson began but I cut him short.

“I didn’t ask you to think. I told you to get the boy food and water and unlock the chains!” I roared at them.

“I’ll link the serva nts:..” Ross swallowed his word when he saw my face. “Fine. I’ll get it.”

Lord Grayson unlocked the chains and the boy fell down at our feet. He kept his head down.

“You can go, Lord Grayson.” I wanted no arguments.

The boy sat on the floor keeping his arms locked around his knees, silent.

“Which pack are you from, boy?” I looked at the various torture instruments hanging on the stone wall. Floggers,

kare sp iked whips, silver daggers, their hilts bound by leather straps. Silver was our kryptonite. Burned like hell and could kill a werewolf if used correctly. I didn’t need any of those instruments.

“Hmm… Not talking. I won’t lie to you, son. You’re going to be executed for treason. So, consider this your last meal.” I stopped in front of him. “But…” I waited for him to look up at me. “I will consider a pardon if you tell me who put you up to this.”

“They will kill me.” His voice was hardly above a whisper.

I chuckled, “And you are more afraid of ‘them’ than your king?”

“You are not the rightful king. You are a monster. You don’t care about the werewolves.” He stood were shaking.

I admired courage and the boy had that; I gave him that. “Is that in your opinion?”

“Our people are dying of hunger and poverty while you live in luxury, taking our hard-earned money to fill your

coffers.” He spat at my feet.

That was news to me, I folded my arms across my chest watching the boy with renewed interest.

“And you send your warriors to ransack our homes if we don’t pay.” He glowered at me with contempt written on his bruised face. “Forcing us to watch your elaborate feast while we are struggling to put food on our table. We hate you.”

I saw his eyes flit to the silver daggers hanging on the wall just as the door opened and Ross came in with his food and water.

He sprang to grab one, but I was faster. I pinned him to the wall by his neck, lifting him up to have him face me. His feet dangled in the air.

Ross threw down the plate of food and rushed towards us.

“I’ve got it under control!” I snarled at him, and he backed off. “Look at me, boy! What you have told me, I have no knowledge about it.” I threw him down. “Lock him in the dungeon. I am not done with him yet.”
