Chapter 47

Kiara furrowed her eyebrows as she watched Zane scribble on the canvas. He would glance at her

for a second then turn back to the Canvas and draw something on it.

“Can I see?" She questioned but he ignored her.

“Keep your head straight" He muttered then froze when he heard someone snicker behind him. He

turned around and they all immediately turned away.

“Is something wrong? Let me see!" She uttered and was about to stand up from the throne when

Zane stopped her.

“No. If you stand up from that throne, my plans will be ruined" Zane immediately said with his eyes

slightly wide. She sighed then sat back down on the throne and watched as the men and ladies

behind Zane tried their best not to laugh which just made her more curious.

“If I hear another snicker, you all will lose your jobs, your property and potentially your life" Zane

muttered slowly and calmly but the warning behind his tone was evident.

They all immediately tensed up and Kiara saw some of them gulp with fear which made her roll her

eyes.

"Zane, you don't have to threaten them. Let me see” He shook his head.

“No. Stay there, I'm almost done” She rolled her eyes but did as she was told with a sigh.

After what felt like an hour, a smile broke out of Zane's face then he turned to Kiara.

“I'm done" Her eyes widened slightly then she stood up from the throne and walked up to him.

“Let me see" She uttered and when he showed her the painting, she froze with her eyes wide and he

smiled at her reaction.

“It's so gorgeous that it left you speechless huh? I told you I was great at everything" He uttered

with a proud smile on his face.

“Erm... Zane?" He nodded with a smile.

“Yes, my love?" She turned to him then pointed at the painting.

"Who's that?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean? That's obviously you" She suddenly burst out laughing prompting the others

that were holding in her laugh to laugh out as well.

Zane watched her with a frown as she fell to the ground laughing so hard that tears gathered in her

eyes.

“It... looks... like... a painter... with... no... hands drew that" She uttered in-between laughs then

laughed harder when the others laughed as well.

"Okay that's enough" He muttered and they all immediately stopped laughing except Kiara.

“It's not that bad, Kiara" He muttered as he glanced back at the painting.

“It looks like a dog took a dump on the canvas and you claimed it as art" She uttered then laughed

even harder and Zane pouted before throwing the Canvas to the ground.

“I'm done with this" He muttered then walked out of the throne room and only then did Kiara stop

laughing. She pouted then turned to the ladies who were acting as her maids.

“I think I might have hurt his ego. I better go talk to him" She murmured and they helped her up

from the ground. She thanked them then ran after Zane.

"Zane, wait up. I cannot run in this puffy gown" She called out but he didn't stop. Instead, he walked

faster.

She glared at his back and was about to yell at him when she tripped on her gown and fell to the

ground.

“Ouch” She winced then glanced at her bruised palm.

"Are you okay?" Zane questioned as he bent down and grabbed her hand. She pouted at him then

punched his other shoulder with her free hand.

"I told you to wait up” He sighed then blew on her bruise.

“I'm sorry" He gathered her in his arms then carried her up from the ground.

“I'm sorry I laughed at your drawing, I didn't mean to bruise your ego” She murmured as he carried

her towards a chair to sit her down.

"You didn't bruise my ego, it's just that... I put all my heart into drawing that and you laughed at it"

He murmured and she couldn't help but pinch his cheek because of how cute he was.

“Next time, I won't laugh" He scoffed.

“They won't be a next time" She grinned then kissed his cheek.

“But the good news is you managed to impress me and you get to be my King for the night” He

paused then turned to her with raised eyebrows.

“Really? But you said the painting was the worst" She tilted her head.

“I never said that"

"Oh sorry, you said it looked like a dog took a dump on the canvas and I called it art” She laughed.

“Well, did I lie?" He rolled his eyes.

“I don't even want to be your King anymore. You're mean” She giggled then placed a kiss on his

cheek

“I'm sorry. I promise, I won't tease you again or say mean things. Let's go to the garden, just me and

you" She murmured and he stared into her eyes for a while before smirking.

“I like the way you said that" She rolled her eyes.

“Get your head out of the gutters”

Heather groaned as she opened her eyes slowly. She glanced around and noticed she was in an

unfamiliar room. Why was she here?

She tried to sit up on the bed but a hand suddenly reached out to stop her.

“Don't get up. The drug inside you hasn't fully dissolved so keep resting” She turned to the voice

and frowned when she saw Daniel sitting down next to her on the bed. She was about to question

him when she suddenly remembered what happened.

She had been shot with something and those three men had tried to take her away. Why?

“Who were those men and what did they want?" Daniel sighed.

“You don't have to worry about that. Just rest and get better" He was about to get up when she

grabbed his hand.

“Those men... they knew I was a wolf but they didn't seem surprised. Doesn't that mean

something?" She stared at his face and he didn't seem surprised by what she had just said.

"Get some rest, Heather" She glared at him.

“Tell me what's going on right now or we are going to start having problems and you know how

well I can throw a tantrum”...
