Chapter 250: Seared into my memory forever...
Noah POV
What happened next would be seared into my memory forever.
The figure that had appeared to be Selene growled with pain and began to shift and contort. In a matter of seconds, where my mate had been, there now lay the lifeless body of a fox.
I stumbled back, my mind reeling. A Shapeshifter. They had been tricked by a shapeshifter. I had kissed and made love to a shapeshifter – Selene was going to kill me.
Trying to sill the tremors that ran through me, I reached for my phone and sent a text to both Kurtis and Lucius, too shaken up to speak to them on the phone. Within minutes, both men burst into my bedroom, they seemed to be wearing the same kind of nightwear. Kurtis had the shirt on, while Lucius had its bottom and they seemed flustered.
"Your Majesty, what’s wron-" Lucius began but his words died in his throat as his gaze landed on the bed. His eyes widened in shock, darting between me and the fox on the bed. With a choked gasp, he fell to his knees as the realization of what had happened dawned on him.
Kurtis was the first to regain his composure. "A Shapeshifte," he said grimly "We’ve been played,".
I nodded, my voice tight with controlled fury. "if this isn’t Selene, then where is my mate? And what of the Jared and the Jade you captured? Is it truly them?"
A heavy silence fell over the room as the implications sank in. Lucius, still on the ground, looked up with horror dawning in his eyes. "The dungeon," he whispered. "We need to check the dungeon,".
