Veronica grabbed the pen. Hastily, she wrote down:

Something wrong with the man out there. We have to tell Gamma Aurora!

Chloe looked at her writings.

“You mean Silas? He is the local blacksmith. What can possibly be wrong with him?” she said in a drawling voice.

Veronica bit her lips in anxiety. She waved her hands and wrote down another line:

He is not a blacksmith! I know him!

“Oh?” Chloe smiled. “If he is not a blacksmith, then who is he?”

He is-

Veronica paused, giving Chloe a suspicious look.

“You can trust me,” Chloe softened her tone. “Angelina introduced us. I am her friend. In fact, you probably didn’t know this, but Gamma Aurora grew up in my house. We are practically sisters. So you can trust me with anything that you want to tell her.”

Veronica still looked reluctant. And Chloe added:

“I just want to make sure that you are not bothering Gamma Aurora with trifles. Nevertheless, she is a very busy person.”

That dispelled all her doubts. Veronica picked up the pen again and started writing:

That man is the Rogue King!

Chloe slightly widened her eyes. After a small pause, she asked with a deadpan face, “How can you be so sure?”

Veronica scribbled:

I heard his voice before. I swear it with my soul! Hurry and pass my note to Gamma Aurora. I am afraid that he will do her harm!!

Chloe picked up that piece of paper and paced to the door.

Veronica’s gaze followed Chloe, her eyes full of anxious anticipation.

Yet the next second, Chloe teared that piece of paper into pieces.

Veronica’s jaw dropped. Glaring at Chloe, she made a furious noise, her mouth moving rapidly without a sound.

“Can’t say a single word, can you? Poor thing.”

Chloe giggled maliciously.

“And there is something else you need to know about me and Aurora. Yes, we used to be sisters. But I hate her to the gut. I would do anything to make her disappear from this world.”

Veronica turned abruptly and searched for another piece of paper on the table,

Her throat was seized by a pair of hands from the back.

Chloe strangled Veronica with her whole might. She was slightly taller and stronger than Veronica, which gave her the upper hand. Veronica groaned lowly in agony, her body twitching. She wanted to break free from Chloe’s grasp, but she didn’t have the strength.

After one painful minute, Veronica’s eyes rolled to the back, and she crushed to the ground.

Chloe panted roughly. This took her a lot of her energy as well.

She put a finger under Veronica’s nose to make sure that she was still unconscious, not dead.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside of the door and was approaching this office.

Panic flickered across Chloe’s face.

She hastily grabbed Veronica by the ankles and dragged her body into the closet. The minute she slammed the closet door shut, someone pushed the office door open from the outside.

It was Angelina..

“Where is Veronica” Angelina asked with a frown, her eyes scanning across the room.

“Oh. She went to the restroom.” Chloe put on a forced smile. “What do you need, Angelina?”

“Gamma Aurora and I need to go to the shelters to check on the injured soldiers. Can you finish the bookkeeping work with Veronica and then sent those sorted grains to the warehouse?”

Chloe clenched her fists behind her back. Her nails dug deep into her flesh.

Yet the smile on her face was as swese 25 ever.

“Sure thing,” she said. “You can count on me with those, Angelina.”

Angelina nodded at her with a smile and then closed the office door again.

The sweet smile vanished from Chloe’s face as soon as Angelina left.

She was actually furious inside.

Errands.

Angelina was always giving her errands

She was practically a slave in everyone’s eyes! Nobody still remembered that she was a lady! Fortunately, now she had a way out.

She had Silas, a great help.

And to make things even better, she just found out tha Silas WON the Rogue King!

She felt as though her heart was going to explode with joy.

Silas, her mate, was a King!

She knew that someone like her would end

Chlor gently knocked on the door. A few minutes later, Layla came to answer it.

“Is be here?” Chloe asked in a low voice.

Layla nodded hastily and let her in.

Silas was in there forging a weapon.

The fire from the forge roared, casting a fiery glow on Silas’s body. His strong arm was swinging a heavy hammer with rhythmic precision, sending sparks flying.

A red–hot bar of iron rested on the anvil, its malleable core ready for transformation.

Chloe gasped looking at him.

She had always found Silas a bit too lanky for her taste.

She didn’t know that he possessed such a muscular body of strength.

Now it seemed that Silas was not only good–looking, but also has the power and a great body.

He was really the whole package.

Chloe could already feel herself falling in love with him.

Seeing Chloe walk in, Silas dropped his hammer and paced over.

“Why are you here?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid that somebody might get suspicious?”

“You said that I need to find a to prove myself valuable…And I have.”

She untied the sack sitting on the top of her trolley and revealed Veronica’s unconscious face.

Silas held his breath looking down at Veronica. His eyes gleamed with joy.

“Well, well…see who this is. The little traitor,” he chuckled. “I was wondering where she had been hiding. Didn’t see her in the city recently.”

“That is because Damien had her and Glen locked up in a cell. They were just released today.”

Silas rubbed his chin, “Let me guess. She saw me somewhere and recognized my voice.”

“Yes. And she was going to tell Aurora on you. But I stopped her and brought her here.”

Silas smiled and petted Chloe’s head, “Good job. I am

as though she was his lap dog. But Chloe still couldn’t help but beamed.

“Take her inside,” Silas said to Layla.

Layla nodded and dragged Veronica pulled from the trolley and dragged her into the back room.

clearly who was standing in front of her, she let out a horrified gasp.

Silas crouched down and stared at Veronica with an intrigued smile.

“You didn’t honestly believe that I would let you off the hock that easily, did you? Betraying me has consequences. I thought that we made that

clear.”

Veronica shivered in horror. Her eyes glanced around the room, desperately searching for somebody to help her.

Silas seized her chin and forced her to meet his eyes, “Who are you looking at? Nobody will help you. You were already doomed when you chose the wrong side…Now it is time for me to collect my debt.”

“What should we do with her?” Chloe asked. “We have to do something. Or she will definitely tell someone about you.”

Silas smiled, enjoying the horrified look on Veronica’s face, “What do you think we should do, mate?”

“Maybe…maybe we can cut her hands off?”

Chloe suggested.

“She can’t talk. And without her hands, she can’t write either. It stops her from telling.”

Silas laughed, amused by Chloe’s suggestion, “Cut her hands off? That is cute. But sorry little mate. This isn’t a childish high school drama.”

He stood up with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.

“Let me teach you a lesson to the real world…Only the dead won’t tell.”

Quick as a thunder, he dug his wolf claw into Veronica’s chest and seized her heart. Blood gushed out, spilling onto Silas’s entire body.

Veronica parted her lips.

Yet she couldn’t even make a sound before crushing down to the ground.

Dead.
