Things went from better to worse when Magnus had come with his propositio of the kingdom.
Harbor had been away with the army at the borders
That was the moment when Magnus and I grew closer. I’d been to blinded by his tweet bed believing marrying him would be for the better.
It had been quite a while since we got to actually speak with each other yet, here he was, standing before me in a bid to prote Just like when we’d been young, he was here to stand by me now that I was in danger
It was hard to ignore the warm feeling that bloomed in my chest the more I watched his figure. I felt a swell of pride in me knowing that I had someone like him by my side.
A low growl from Magnus broke my line of thoughts and I turned to him Magnus looked like he was ready to lange at anymore, his eyes gleaming dangerously.
“Thea, stay back. Haelor held our a hand to guard me.
In a split second, Magnus had already lunged towards us. Haelor managed to move me away just in

The firearm flew out of his hands but it didn’t mean he had lost his form. He aimed a low punch to Magnur’s gut and that sent him
flying.
Wiping a sheet of sweat off his forehead, he stretched his hands out. In a flash, his hand had morphed into wolf claws, sharp and with a glinting edge to them.
Never one to back down, Magnus took that as his sign to attack again, aiming for Haelor’s shoulder this time around
The general ducked from the attack, swiping at Magnus’s side with his claws. They continued like this, both of them parrying and blocking the other’s attacks. It was obvious who was more trained between them.
When it came to fighting. Haelor made it look so easy with how effortlessly he fought back. He attacked with the grace of a leopard. swift and calculated in his attacks.
Just dier Ma
“Just die!” Magnus growled angrily, too enraged to think his attacks through
Just as he snarled at Haelor’s throat, the general clamped a tight hand over his throat and slammed him hard against the ground.
The crunching sound of bone cracking sent a shiver down my spine. Magnus’s body was no longer moving
Haelor stood over him for a while, taking in deep breaths before finally turning to me, there was a serious expression on his face but
I hadn’t missed the way his eyes eventually softened.
“Thea,” He started, closing the distance between us. “Why did you come here alone? You know how dangerous it is, especially when there’s two people who hold a grudge against you”
Chapter 56
“We needed to find the truth.” Jane spoke up before I could.
“What truth?” Harlor sounded confused
“The death grass.” Jane let out breath. “Magnus’s been poisoning her with it and now she has no way of turning into a wolf.”
Haelor turned to me, a mixture of shock and worry evident in his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?”
I turned away, unable to hear the intensity of his gaze. How could I say I did that because I didn’t want to burden with anyone with my problems?”
“You witch!”
We all turned to see Ashley standing over Magnus’s body. Tears streamed from her bloodshot eyes as she turned to glare at me with every single fibre of hate in her body.
She reached into her pocket and took out a small knife. In a flash, she started running for me, the knife raised to stab me.
I was a fraction to slow as she had already closed the distance between us. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the pain, but it never

When my eyes opened, Haelor was standing in front of me. The knife was embedded in his side as he blocked Ashley from geming
closer to me.
“Get away from me!” She tried to shake out of his iron grip all to no avail. “I’ll kill you. I’ll kill all of you goddamit!”
She opened her mouth to say something else but Jane was quicker, hitting her hard across the back of the head. Ashley crumpled inceremoniously to the ground, her body hitting the floor with a thud.
“Haelor.”
I called out his name, blood rushing to my ears as I laid eyes on the wound. I reached a hand to touch it, dread pooling in my gut as I looked at my blood stained hands.
“Come on, Thea.“1
Thea.” Haelor had a small smile on his face, his face a bright red. T’m fine. It’s just a little wound. Nothing more.”
