Chapter 21 

Stephen POV 

Iran all night only stopping for food, water, and restroom breaks. I made my way to the Southern castle territory lines. When I crossed over the castle territory lines midmorning my presence was known immediately and I was surrounded within a few minutes by several Lycan forces close to the King. I knew had done wrong but Dexter had been my best friend. I warned him and told him I wasn’t comfortable but he ended up getting his way. I shifted back into my human form as to show I am not posing as a threat to 

them or anyone. 

Soon Dexter’s brother, the now king was present. He was angry and I bowed to him knowing if he 

wanted he could kill me right here right now. 

“Rise.” He commanded and I did as he told me. “What are you doing here Stephen?” His voice was 

laced with hatred. 

“King Brent please allow me to give you exactly what you want.” I offered. “What is it that I want?” He countered. 

I inhaled and paused before speaking my loyalty to Dexter holding me back for a moment. Although now that I crossed into the Castle territory it would of been too late “To offer up where your brother Dexter is along with the kidnapping crimes of the future Northern Territorys future Queen and the murder of King Randolph of the Northern Territory. All linking back to Dexter who has killed your father and is attempting an assassination against the now King of the Southern Territory, you, King Brent.” I looked at him and never let my eyes drift from his. I could read every expression that crossed his face. Sadness, shock, and more than the others anger. I heard his breathing change and his fingers clenched and balled into a fist by his side. 

“Very well, come with me. We have many things to discuss it seems.” He responded and I let out a 

breath of air I didn’t know I held in. 

We walked inside the castle walls and inside, making our way into his office. 

“What do you want in return for this information?” King Brent asked as he sat down behind his desk, motioning for me to sit. I sat, gladly my body aching from the overnight and morning run. 

I shrugged my shoulders “Immunity from the crimes your brother forced upon me, being his right hand man and of a higher rank than my own Lycan I was forced to comply. With this I will tell you everything, all of his plans for the future and what he has done.” I crossed my arms over my chest and watched the King contemplate before I broke the silence “And of course hot food and a bed for rest.” 

He nodded and leaned for a pen and a pad of paper. “Very well, let us begin.” 

gave him everything I even threw that girl Sarah and that stupid wolf Ryder under the bus. King Brent wanted names, and I gave them to him. I started from the beginning and led up until this

“He plans on trying to overtake the Northern Territory after assassinating you and the Northern King.” I leaned back in my seat and watched anger and rage flow through him. 

Tried to kill me?” He slammed his fist into the desk. “Thank you for
