Caroline’s POV:
When I woke up, I found myself in Austin’s bed.I pressed my fingers against my aching temple.
When did I fall asleep? But at the thought of what had happened the night before, I couldn’t help but turn red as a tomato.
How on earth did Austin come up with such a crazy way to make love? Although it was unorthodox, it was fucking cool.
However, I reminded myself that Austin was only suitable as a sex partner and nothing more.
Anthony was my love.
Speaking of Anthony, I needed to return to Larry’s log cabin as soon as possible.
If Anthony woke up and I wasn’t there, my plan would be ruined.My sore body struggled to get out of bed.I picked up my
clothes on the floor with shaking hands and slipped them on.
Damn it! Austin was not gentle with me all.He ravaged me last night like a hungry wolf.In order to keep my plan under wraps,
I drove to the forest alone.
Larry was expecting me and told me that Anthony was still asleep.
I entered the log cabin and saw Anthony sleeping peacefully.
“How did it go?” I asked Larry in a low voice.
“I used magic to temporarily seal off some of his memories and sense of smell.He won’t remember anything related to his
mate once he wakes up.”
“Why temporarily? Are you saying it’s possible he’ll regain his memories?” I frowned deeply.
“Don’t worry.He won’t remember those things, not without my help.” Larry seemed to be immensely displeased with my
doubt.
Questioning a wizard’s magic was no compliment, after all. I tried to think of a way to comfort him.
“You’re doing me a huge favor.I won’t forget this.As long as I get what I want, you’ll get what you want.”
Sure enough, his expression softened a little.
“By the way, can I have another bottle of that magic potion?” I asked.
I needed to strike while the iron was hot.I had never forgotten that Elizabeth was still in the picture.
If she told Anthony something, my plan would be exposed. I couldn’t let this happen.
“This is the last bottle. Use it wisely.”
Reluctantly, Larry held out a bottle in front of me.Just as I was about to take it, he retracted his hand quickly.
I looked at him knowingly and pulled out my wallet.I didn’t even bother to count its contents and gave him everything in my
wallet.
“I’ll have someone send you the rest later.” Only then did he give me the magic potion.
With a nod, I picked up the sleeping Anthony and drove him back to the palace.When he was safe in bed, I summoned for a
maid to take care of him.When that was settled, I set off to find Elizabeth.
I knocked on her door.
While I was waiting outside her room, I saw a maid approaching.She was carrying a bowl of hot porridge for Elizabeth.
“I’ve got this.” I took the plate from the maid and followed her inside Elizabeth’s room.
While no one was looking, I quickly added a few drops of the magic potion into the porridge. I kept telling myself that I wasn’t
doing anything wrong.
Everyone who kept getting in the way of me being with Anthony should be punished.
Elizabeth’s POV:
“Still no news?” I asked the maids who had gone to inquire about Anthony for me.
“No, Mrs.Jones.” They all shook their heads.
Where did my son go? He had been missing for days now, and I couldn’t find him.
The war between Anthony and Austin was at its peak right now.
Naturally, I was really worried about my son, given how the most powerful man in the kingdom was out to get him.
“What’s on your mind, Mom?” Caroline asked, walking in with a plate of porridge.
“I don’t want to eat.” I had no appetite at all.
I was too consumed with worry.
Where was Anthony? What happened to him? Did Austin hurt him? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something
was wrong.
Austin was a lycan who hadn’t hesitated to hurt his own father and his stepmother. I had to look for Anthony myself.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
When Caroline saw me struggling to get out of bed, she hurried to my side to stop me.
“I can’t just sit here,” I grunted.
“Don’t you know that Anthony’s missing?”
“Don’t worry, he’s at my place,” Caroline said calmly.
“Are you serious?” I was overjoyed.
I was really afraid that something bad had happened to my only son.
