Chapter 289
I don’t move. I stand perfectly say law locked as the burning pain flares across my cheek. I can taste the blood inside my mouth. Slowly, I turn a back to look at my father, my green eyes flashing with a dangerous, feral light. Vlad is screaming inside my head, desperate to rip the king apart, but my muscles to stay completely frozen. No shifting. Not for him.
King Geo steps even closer to me, breathing heavily as he cares into my eyes, searching for something. “You refuse Rina. You refuse every high-born
girl I place in front of you. And yet, I hear rumors from the academy. I hear you’ve been acting like a madman over a common, wolfless slave. The sam I threatened you to stay away from. I hear you’re still following her around like a lost sheep. Isn’t that right, son?”
My heart stops for a brief second, but I keep my expression completely blank. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t lie to me, Kai!” Geo barks, his eyes narrowing into cold slits. “What is so special about this girl, Lyra? What exactly are you hiding about her? W
did you thrash your entire apartment because of her? Tell me the truth!”
“Nothing.

Majesty!” Rina yells, stepping forward with a wicked look on her face. She points a shaking finger at me. “He is completely lying to you that pathetic, weak girl! I’ve seen the way he looks at her at the academy. I’ve seen the way he stalks her through the hallways. Lyra is Ki

yes widen slightly, curiosity filling his expression. He looks from Rina back to me, his lips curling into a sick smile. “Is this true, Kai? Is that
ece of garbage actually your fated mate? Have you been keeping your true mate a secret from your own father and king?”
of fear hits me right in the chest, but 1 force it down, replacing it with rage, I step closer to my father, body entirely tense, ready to kill. “She mate. Rina is delusional and desperate because I rejected her. If you lister to the ramblings of a bitter girl, you’re an idiot, father.”
Voo better watch that fucking mouth!” Geo snaps. He walks over to the table, picking up his wine cup an, his back turned to me. “You know, it doesn’t really matter if she is your mate or not. She is still a distraction. One i should have done away with from the beginning. She is making my crown prince sc end disobedient against me. Perhaps I should just send a squad of royal guards to the academy tonight and have them publicly execute her. It would solve all of our problems, wouldn’t it?”
The room goes completely ice-cold. My vision turns red.
In a split second, my control snaps. I move in a blur of speed, crossing the distance between us before my father can even turn around. I sign, my hand ont the table right next to his face, leaning in so close I can smell the sour wine on his breath.
‘I said it before but maybe you didn’t understand so I’ll say it again. If you touch her,” I whisper, my voice vibrating with a deadly grow! that makes even the walls tremble. “If you send a single guard near her, if you even look in her direction, I swear to you, father… i will kill you. I will rip your heart out with my
bare hands and watch you bleed to death on this very throne. Try me.”
Rina lets out a sharp gasp from the side of the room, stumbling backward.
But my father doesn’t flinch. He stands there, staring at me with a cold, unreadable expression. Slowly he leans forward until his lips are testing right against the shell of my eat.
“You think you’re so clever, Raj,” Geo whispers, his voice low, creepy, and filled with a terrifying amusement. “Yu think you’re protecting her. But I already know you little secret. I know that Lyrs Diamond is not wolfless.”

purety, and my heart races in fear. I stare st my father, totally speechless, my mind racing in a million different directions.
How does he know? How could he possibly know she isn’t wolfless? Nobody knows the truth except for me and a few select people at the academy.
King Geo pulls his head back, and I see the victorious smirk plastered on his cruel face as he enjoys the shock and fear written all over my features. He t his fingers against my chest, right over my pounding heart. “Yes, my bay. I know she’s not really wolfless. I figured out long ago that someone without a
shifter cannot survive those tests that she survived. And once I find out what she really is…absolutely nothing in this world, not even you, will be able ti
