Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 93

Maximus hated the way Elder Gayle talked to him, because he didn’t want to admit that he was right. Rania had every reason why she hated him. He couldn’t say he was good with her.

He knew that his temper would cause trouble, and he had made peace with it, but Rania was different. His mate was not the same. She was everything that he needed and more.

He didn’t want to upset her, he didn’t want to make her sad. Therefore, her betrayal cut so deep.

After elder Gayle said his piece, he left the king in the throne room alone with his thought.

Maximus didn’t even realize how much time had passed when Eiten came to look for him. His expression ashen.

“I

got them all,” he said with a grief tone. He then handed Maximus a paper with a long list of names. There was stain of blood there, and you could smell it from him too.

It didn’t take a genius to guess what was going on. Eiten must have tortured someone to get this long list of

names.

Maximus took it and read those names. His eyes darkened, as half of the names were the people who close to him, he knew all of them, and a handful people in the list were the people, whom he thought were loyal to

him.

“Maximus, you really need to get Rania out of there, or else, you are going to lose both her and the baby. You can’t do this to her, she is with your child.”

Maximus didn’t say anything, which made Eiten became agitated.

“Maximus! Karin said, she will not be able to help more than this! Rania is in a critical condition! She is going to lose her life! Karin gave me half a day to take her out of there, but she still can’t promise that she can save her!”

Maximus didn’t budge, he kept reading the list, but then he stood up. The king completely ignored Eiten.

“Where are you going?” Eiten was frustrated. He didn’t know what else he had to do to convince Maximus. He had taken the pain of interrogating Alaric, and then asked elder Gayle to interfere with this matter.

However, nothing worked. He got a headache now. They were running out of time, and it was already midday.

“Max! Where are you going?!” However, when he was following the king out of the throne room, from the distance they could hear the sound of alarm blaring throughout the palace.

They were under attack.

***

Winter had no other choice, but to lead the Movement in order to dethrone the king. Even though he was not so fond of the son of his, but Caden was his only flesh and blood. He had no other choice.

Chapter 93

He had been in contact with Killian, who was already in the palace, and along with a thousand of warriors from three different packs, he led the attack.

This was not the original plan, but they had no other choice, but to gamble with everything they had. More so, the king must have learned about the Movement and their goal. If it was not now, it would be difficult.

The alpha of the Black Stone pack raised his head, and looked at him with a smirk. “Finally, you are here. Did my father already here too?”

“Yes, he is leading the warriors to kill the king.” Killian then opened the cell. There were only the two of them here.

This cell was different from the cell where Rania stayed, or the interrogation room.

Meanwhile, the other warriors, who was supposed to guard this place had been killed mercilessly, while the warriors under Killian’s command stood on guard, waiting for him to rescue the alpha and the former beta.

“Good.” Caden smiled in satisfaction. He stood up and dusted the dirt from his pants. He looked terrible, there were a few bloods stain on his shirt, but most of his wounds had healed. “It’s time to kill the king. But, before that, let’s meet with my Rania first.”

“She is

Killian.

pregnant,” Killian blurted out, and this made Caden stopped in his track. He had his back against

tI’tCt ??

“Shit. Poor baby. I am not going to have that Mad King’s child.” And then Caden walked toward the door. “I am going…”

Caden didn’t finish his words when he felt an excruciating pain, and when he looked down, he saw Killian’s hand had pierced through his chest.
