Rania felt like she was in and out of a dark water. Her consciousness came and went, leaving her in this dark silence. She tried to move her body, yet there was a numbness, which left her thinking she had none.
She was only a soul, without a body, wandering around between her unconsciousness and the reality.
However, this darkness chipped in her memories one by one. Little by little, until she had nothing left. Not even her name.
And suddenly, there was this heavy voice filled with regret and pain, calling out for her. Calling the name that she almost forgot.
Rania.
Rania.
Rania.
Come back to me.
There was a silver thread that she saw. It was very thin, she wouldn’t be able to see it if her surrounding was not pitch dark. And when Rania touched it, she was yanked back.
There was a sudden force that hurled her, and when she opened her eyes, she still saw the darkness, but it was not the same. She still could figure out the shape of things around her.
She was inside a room; an infirmary room, and someone was holding her tightly. His body was very warm, he was very close, and the tingling feeling that she felt from him was comfortable.
She felt… safe.
“It’s okay, you are, okay now,” he said gently, but his voice was on edge.
Who was this? Rania tried to look at his face, but she couldn’t figure out who was the man, who held her because the pain suddenly burst in her head, and she had a hard time to think.
Yet, her body was very weak, she couldn’t even ask for help.
Had you ever trapped inside a nightmare and couldn’t wake up? That was how Rania felt right now. She couldn’t even tell him how much her head was in pain, as if it was going to explode.
He kept holding her, rocking her back and forth, but he was not aware of the pain she was in.
It hurts…
The pain is too much…
Rania whimpered in her head, but she couldn’t tell him.

In the end, when the pain was unbearable for her, she let the darkness to claim her, taking her to that wandering state once again.
“We are going to take revenge,” Winter said beside his son’s dead body. “Maximus will pay for this dearly p>
He didn’t like Caden, but for whatever wrong he had done, in the end of the day, he was still his son. He would avenge his death.
“I am sorry, alpha, I don’t know that the king had killed him. I didn’t hear anything about it.” Killian looked remorseful. “I should have done something. Only if I knew he would have killed him, I would have informed you sooner p>
Winter took a deep breath, he then looked at Killian. “I am glad to have you here.” Winter judged Killian with his eyes. “Even though I am still shocked that my former beta betrayed me p>
Killian had fabricated the story well, and no one would be able to confirm that, because he had gone into the cells alone, so whatever happened inside, the story would come from him.
“I feel ashamed to what my stepfather had done. Please, punish me because I have failed you.” Killian immediately knelt down in front of the alpha. He lowered his head to show his submission.
Currently, they had returned to their pack, and fortified the place. The king was going to attack them sooner or later, and right now, the packs, who had been against the king in the shadow had come to light.
They showed their support to alpha Winter to dethrone the king.
Maximus’s recent killing spree when he cleaned up the palace from traitors, and his barbaric action to put their head on the spike for public display had caused an uproar.
Some people thought the traitors deserved that. Some people were too afraid to voice their opinion, but some people had raised to rebel, especially those who had been holding a grudge against the king.
The civil war would be inevitable at this point.
“Stand up, Killian. It’s not your fault,” Winter said tiredly. There was no point of questioning his loyalty when he had performed an excellence role in the last attack, though it was a failure. “I am glad you are here p>
He watched Killian rose to his feet. He had seen him growing up with Caden. Both of them were good friends, but because they wanted the same woman, their relationship recently became sour.
However…
Winter was no longer young. His only son was dead. He was killed, and despite his grudge, and hatred that drove him, he knew he couldn’t live forever. He needed someone to lead the pack.
“I will take you as my beta,” Winter said. He would raise him to rank, so he could pay close attention to him, whether or not he met his expectation.
“I will be forever grateful.” Killian then recited an oath for the alpha, which made Winter pleased with his

Maximus watched Rania’s pale face. She was sleeping now. Her body had stopped shivering, and a layer of sweat form on her forehead. She breathed deeply.
In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to stay away from her any longer. Let her hate him. Let her try to kill him, he didn’t care more.
He didn’t care about this kingdom anymore. He only wanted her.
This must be the longest period of time he had been away from his mate ever since he found her.
“Rania…” Maximus leaned over and kissed her lips gently, they were cold, but her breath was warm against his cheeks. “Hate me all you want, but let me be selfish for one last time. Let me stay with you p>
Maximus nibbled on her lip, and hugged her a little bit tighter, so he could feel her heart beating, knowing she was alive.
