Chapter 274



“You know, under normal circumstances, I would be expecting something like poison. In the world I grew up in, trust is not something you can simply stumble upon.”

“I agree... Katie, why are you keeping him around again?” Sandra asked, letting all her unbridled hate for the boy fill her voice.

“What... Why would you, of all people, be asking such a question, Sandra? You know just how harmless he is. Just look at him. Bruised and eating healthy without a single harmful thought in his mind. I would know if it was there,” Katie responded.

“For some reason, even after the little muscle he’s put on, he looks more harmless than he was as a scrawny kid from high school,” Sandra replied with a frown. The boy’s presence irked her and the fact that Katie tolerated it irked her even more.

“Yeah, sometimes I forget that he’s the same scrawny kid. Although the only difference this time... is that he’s not pretending to be that scrawny kid,” Katie responded with a genuine smile.

“What is the trio talking about?” Caden’s voice suddenly piped in, “I hope Kyle is not causing much trouble.”

“I don’t think ‘Kyle’ would pose a threat to two hunters,” Sandra replied with a chuckle.

“Looks like I had nothing to worry about,” Caden laughed. Cole came later with the queen in tow.

.....

“Cole, don’t worry one bit about that issue. I’ll deal with it,” the queen said to Cole before announcing she would like to retire to her chambers. Having noticed how late it was, she excused herself and exited the gardens.

With her gone and time ticking well into the night, there wasn’t much reason for the gathering to continue.

Kyle bid Katie and Sandra farewell and followed his caretaker, ‘Caden’ who was returning for one last hour of work. Sandra reminded Katie of the next day’s plans before leaving as well.

.......

The female royal preened into the mirror while she tied her hair up into a bun, ‘Ashley, just how much can Kyle know from the connection we share with Kyle?’ Katie spoke to the wolf within her.

“I don’t know,” the wolf replied with barely a care in the world.

“You don’t sound worried at all about that,” Katie argued.

“I’m not worried, Katie. It’s the freedom of having him as our beta alpha. He can’t do anything that would be negative to us. Even if he was to be drugged and tortured to the brink of death, his loyalty would not waver,” the wolf replied in a bored tone.

“You make it sound like he’s being bound by absolute magic,” the girl shuddered at the wolf’s demeanour.

“Hmm, magic would not be the word to use, but yes... It’s something like that,” the wolf responded, “And don’t you dare act surprised.

You transform into a gigantic white wolf that keeps its clothes when it shifts back. Not to mention you’re currently speaking to me, an entity in your mind. If that’s not magic, then you’ve got something terribly wrong with your logic.”

“Oh, I had never thought of it that way...” Katie chuckled nervously before stepping out of the bathroom. Her remark, however, left an image of the white wolf shaking its head in disbelief at the girl’s mind.

“Someone’s taking her time,” Cole called out.

“Well, I was once told that my scent is so hard to miss, so I was trying to wash myself down real good,” the girl chuckled.

“To hide your scent from me, you’d have to use divine energy for that,” Cole chuckled lightly.

“Divine energy?”

The smile on the alpha’s face fell when the girl asked, “Sometimes I forget how much you don’t know about werewolves and hunters.”

“Huh, hey, I learnt everything I needed to learn about them,” Katie huffed, finally deciding to proceed from caring about her hair. She walked into the closet and began searching for a nightgown.

“Perhaps not enough though. Divine energy has been called many names, magic being the most common name for it...” ‘And to think I’ve just been talking about something similar with my wolf,’ the girl thought.’

“...Although it simply means, the power of the gods. No one knows the limits of the gods or if they even have limits, but that they are lead by Zeus... well and all the other stories we know about them.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that much. How does this have to do with anything though? You made it sound like there is a lot that I don’t know about divine energy,” the girl complained.

“Well yeah, there is a lot you don’t know about it,” Cole said getting up from the bed and walking into the closet where the girl had just donned a purple silk gown.

The royal didn’t stop in his advance and before the girl realised what was happening, he was carrying her out of the closet and to the bed. Katie didn’t complain and instead wrapped her hands around his neck and studied him while he continued.

Images began to slip into her mind of the girl fighting the rogue king, “The blue aura that was surrounding you while you were fighting was that same kind of energy. I have never heard of it leaking out of someone like that, but there was no doubt about it when I saw it coming from you.

At some point, it looked like you would split with your wolf if you’d continued using it like that. It’s that same energy that turns our eyes a different colour and makes them glow. Blue only shows that royals have the most divine energy from the goddess.”

Placing the girl on the bed and laying beside her, he continued almost seamlessly and effortlessly. Katie wondered if she was really that light or if he was simply that strong, “The red eyes show the next level of power the others have.

The same goes for green and yellow. That extra power is what allows alphas and royals to shift back and forth without losing their clothes. Does that make more sense now?”

Katie gasped when everything seemed to snap into place in her mind. She’d wondered a number of things, but had never gotten to asking them. This was one of them and Cole had just answered it for her, “Well yeah, that explains a lot...” she agreed, staring past his mesmerising blue eyes, “You had something to tell me. Do you still think you can...”

“Yeah, I’ll tell you. After all, this is the only day that I’ll allow myself to go that far back in my past,” Cole said to her with a chuckle, allowing the images of his past to filter into his mate’s mind.

Katie felt incredibly close to him when the memories of Cole began entering her mind. Seeing the world through the eyes of a younger Cole was nothing like hearing the stories narrated by words only. She wanted to know all of it.
