Vivian’s POV
“The Lycan king is at the settlement.” Ted informed Vivian over the phone.
“What is he doing there?” she asked, overridden with confusion,
gates, but the
“I don’t know, Ms. Jackson: I couldn’t follow him into the building as my post has now been changed to
the p words I’ve gathered from listening to other people’s conversations are that he is with the healer,
Ms. Sky Lawson.” He replied.
Her hands balled into a tight fist, and she wanted to hit something, preferably the st upid face of Sky,
the healer. “That little wh ore is warming her way into the heart of the Lycan king. I know how wh ores
like her operate.” Her anger took over, making her see red.
“What do you want me to do, Ms. Jackson?” he asked.
“There is nothing you can do yet; you can’t leave the gates, and I cannot go to the settlement. This was
the Lycan king’s way of punishing them for what they did to the wh ore.
The Lycan king threw them at the mercy of the council because he believed Sky’s story over theirs. The
council, however, couldn’t sentence the five of them. Since they didn’t have any incriminating evidence,
and no one dared come out to testify against them. After Lady Nina came to their defence, they had no
choice but to discharge them. Since the king had delivered them to the council, they had to be
punished, hence a day’s punishment.
Though innocent before the council, they weren’t innocent in the eyes of the Lycan king, and he
stripped them of anything that would bring them close to Sky. He removed her from the post of acting
supervisor of the settlement, and Ted was removed from his role as head of security at the settlement.
The announcement wasn’t public, but they knew better than to go against the Lycan king’s words for
the second time,
Her plans of winning the Lycan king’s heart had fallen through the window in light of what had
happened. She knew it would now take a lot of work and good behaviour to get back on track. Learning
that the Lycan king was at the settlement meant he was spending more time with Sky.
The wh ore had bewitched him, and that was the only explanation for taking her side and now going to
meet her. She couldn’t let that happen.
The decision to go and thank Nina when she was with the Lycan King yesterday was hers. She did it to
plant the seed of distrust between them, and it worked. What she didn’t expect was Julian turning his
attention to the healing bi tch! Her plans had backfired in her face, and she needed to do something
It had taken her many years just to get this close to the Lycan king. The wh ore had been here for only
a few weeks, but she had already clawed her way into Julian’s heart.
“If she had died as intended, none of this would be happening, but she survived like a f**king co
ckroach,” she hissed out and ended the call.
Her plans to have the Lycan king might have fallen through the roof, but there were still a few cards to
play.
Vivian visited the ranch, where Nina spent most of her time supervising. This was her contribution to
the estate; she had vast knowledge of food and agriculture, and so the Lycan king made her the
supervisor of the farmer’s council. They reported their day-to-day operations to her, and she brought
their report to the king. This way, the only cases in which the king intervened were ones beyond her
control. She had done this job way before the king developed an interest in her over five years ago,
and so the story went.
After Vivian’s arrival at the ranch, she informed the escort she wanted to see Lady Nina. They told her
to wait and took her message to the lady.
“What do you want?” Infuriated at the very sight of her, Nina questioned.
t
Vivian held her hands up in surrender. “I’m sorry for the length I went to get you before the council, but
it was out of desperation, and I promise I will not do it again.”
“Am I supposed to believe you?” she demanded as she stepped towards her. “Do you want me to
believe that all this isn’t your doing?”
“You do not have to believe me, but I swear to you that the Lycan king will never know that on a wild
night out of the estate five months ago, you got drunk, gave into your dark desire, and f**ked an omega
to death.” Vivian told her, holding up her hand to vow.
Nina’s hand shut out, and she grabbed Vivian by the neck and pulled her closer. She tightened her grip
around Vivian’s neck, making her struggle just to breathe.
“You listen to me; this is the last time you will say that in my presence. The next time will be your last.
And if you even think revealing that to the Lycan king will give you a better chance with him, you are
delusional” She released her grip around. Vivian’s neck, and she dropped to her knees before her, All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
coughing and trying to regain her breath.
“The Lycan king will never be mine; I understand and accept that now,” Vivian lied while she struggled
to regain the strength lost at the hands of Nina. “However, I am the least of your worries.”
Nina’s eyes narrowed, but she didn’t interrupt her. “I think a part of you already knows who it is. The
healer wh ore has had her eyes on the Lycan king, and now she is getting her claws around him. She
visited him in the castle while you were away the evening after the full moon.”
“I know about her visitation during the full moon, Vivian. It was unfortunate I did not meet her, but Julian
told me about her arrival.” She replied, and Vivian knew there was more to her visitation, but Nina didn’t
reveal it to her. She didn’t push, that was secondary to her aim.
“Well, do you know that the Lycan king is also at the settlement as we speak with the healer?” She
raised a brow.
Nina’s silence gave her the answer she needed, and she built on it. “Believe it or not, your prospective
mate is spending more time with the healer, creating bonds and memories. What do you think is going
to happen?”
“What do you want me to do?” Nina asked in a defeated tone.
Vivian smirked, gladdened that this had gone the exact way she wanted it to. “You have to fight for the
Lycan king. He is your mate, and you will not let that wh ore take away the man of your dreams. You
will take her out before that happens”
Nina’s eyes widened. “I cannot do that. She’s the healer, and she has done so much for us, our world
would have fallen if she hadn’t come.”
“And the payment for that is the Lycan king?” Vivian demanded. “The Lycan world gets a saviour, and
you lose your mate. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
Nina pressed her l*ps together and said, “I cannot do that. If Julian were ever to find out, he would
never forgive me, and he has detached himself from me since finding out I testified in your favour. Stay
away from me, Vivian, and never come back.”
Vivian groaned inwardly: Nina wasn’t as desperate as she hoped. She had her st upid moral compass
guiding her despite everything, and than didn’t help her plan.
“Fine, my lady, you know where to find me if you change your mind.” She bowed her head humbly and
took her leave.
