Chapter 20 A King's Defiance

• "Send me Longe. I need information about those werewolves who dared to attack my mate," Blade said, walking towards his office with determination.
• "What are your plans?" Carson inquired, trailing after him. Despite his curiosity, Carson didn't hesitate to send Longe a message that the King urgently required his presence.
• "I need to know who those despicable creatures were that dared to lay their filthy hands on my mate. She's so frightened of me, her own mate, and I feel like tearing you apart if you keep asking me these questions. Now, where is Longe?" Blade demanded, making his way to his chair. He slumped down into it, cradling his head in his hands. He was experiencing a terrible headache, but he didn't care. Carson remained silent for a moment, unsure of what to say. Clearly intimidated by the King's previous statement, Carson knew better than to disregard the King's words.
