24 The Truth Spell

Luca POV

After we get Esme situated in the room down the hall from ours, Jade and I head to my office. Luna stayed with Esme. I know she had nothing to do with my daughter being taken. I place a chair next to mine and before Jade can sit down, I take her hand. She looks up at me and I can see affection in her eyes. “I’m sorry for everything that has happened since we arrived.” “Luca, I’m tougher than you think. I know you want to take things slow, but no one is going to change that you are mine.” “If you don’t kiss our mate I’m going to take over and do it for you. I know you want to as much as I do”, Sebastian says. I’m just about to do just that when a knock sounds on the door. I smile at her before I lead her to the chair. “Come in”, I say, as I take my seat next to Jade. The door opens and my father leads Monica and a man I can scent is a rogue wolf. I see the dragon wing tattoo on his wrist as they come to stand in front of my desk. I turn to the man first. “Tell me what you know about my daughter being taken out of the kingdom.” I watch him swallow and he starts to stutter. “What is your name?” “Felix your majesty.” “Felix, as long as you tell me the truth, you have nothing to fear.” He nods and takes a deep breath.

“A few days ago, my daughter was approached by a female dragon. Esme is her name. I have spoken to her on a few occasions and she has always been very nice to myself and the other rogues. My daughter gladly agreed. We are well cared for by the kingdom and we gladly do what we can to repay your kindness.” I nod and he continues. “We were in our camp when the same woman brought the hatchling to my daughter. We were shocked that she would need us to take a hatchling away from the kingdom, but we were afraid to ask. Esme told us if we didn’t do what she said that we would be executed. She was very different in the way she acted and spoke. I swear to you, your majesty, we had no idea that the little girl was your daughter.” “I believe you, Felix.” Before I ask Felix anymore questions, I turn toward Monica. Her face has pretty much healed and she is smiling at me. She really

is dense. “What did you see Monica?” “I saw Esme take Luna toward the gate that leads to the rogue camp.” “When did you see this happen?” “The day Luna went missing” she says with a smug smile on her face. “If that’s true, why didn’t you say anything the day you came to my office with my father?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Her smile falters “I didn’t want to believe it was true. I hoped it was just a coincidence. I know how much you love your cousin. I was worried about you Luca.” Jade growls at her use of my name. “Only my mate can call me by my name. You will address me as King Luca. Do you understand Monica?” “Yes, King Luca” she says through gritted teeth. “Felix, you actually saw Esme the day she made this request of your daughter?” “Yes King Luca” he says. I can see there is something more he wants to say. “You can speak freely, Felix.” “The woman looked like Esme, but she didn’t smell like her.” “What did you smell like Felix?” His eyes motion toward Monica and I hold back the growl. “Thank you, Felix for all of your help.” “You’re welcome your majesty. May I ask a question?” “Of course, you may.” “Sir William informed me about my daughter. Is it possible that we can bring her home for a proper burial?” “I will make sure that happens and I’m very sorry for your loss. I promise you that when I find out who did this, they will not live to see another sun rise.” “Thank you, King Luca. Please let me know if I can ever be of any help to you.” I nod and he leaves my office.

“So, Monica, I am going to give you an opportunity to do the honorable thing for once in your life. Were you involved with my daughter being taken and the murder of that she-wolf?” Her eyes get big like she can’t believe I am asking her this question. “I would never hurt your daughter or an innocent she-wolf. You know me, King Luca.” Jade lays her hand against my arm. “If that is the case then you should have no problem proving your innocence”, Jade says. My father growls low and I shoot him a glare. “She is not Queen and shouldn’t even be involved in this matter.” “You are no longer king and I say who is involved in what matters. You can leave father.” “Luca” he starts to say, but I cut him off. “That was not a request.” He is fuming but he leaves my office without another word. Monica looks terrified and it makes me happy. “Answer your Queen” I say.

Jade POV

I can feel the deceit rolling off this b**ch in waves. It’s making Zelda crazy. It takes everything in me to stay in my seat and not slam her against the nearest wall. I see fear flash in her eyes when I say about proving her innocence. “How can I prove my innocence? It is obvious you have poisoned the king against me.” I can’t help the laugh that escapes me. “I have only been here a few hours and I can tell that my mate didn’t like you before I arrived.” I look at Luca and he nods his agreement with my statement. “That is not true. I was to be his mate and then you ruined everything.” “I will never understand girls like you. Always wanting what isn’t yours to have. From what I can gather, you have known Luca since you were children.” She stays quiet. “If he was to be your mate all along, then why did Luca choose Cynthia?” She growls and if looks could kill, I would be dead. I stand from my seat and walk around the desk until I am standing in front of her. “Don’t growl at me unless you want me to beat your a** like I did earlier.” She takes a step back. I take my pendant in my hand and rub the jewel.

A few seconds later, my aunt appears. Monica gasps “who the hell are you?” “Oh, I can already tell I don’t like you” Tabby says and I laugh. “Aunt Tabby, can you work a truth spell for me?” “Wait, what, you can’t do that” she starts to say, but my aunt is already chanting. “You’re all set Jade. Good to see you again Luca.” She hugs me and winks at him before she disappears. Goddess, I love my family. I turn back to Monica. “Did you have the she-wolf take Luna out of the kingdom?” I can see she is fighting against the spell, but my aunt is very strong. “Yes” she says and slams her hand over her mouth. Luca roars and guards bust through the doors. They grab hold of Monica and start to drag her toward the door. “Stop”, I say using, my Alpha command. The men immediately stop walking. I come to stand in front of her. “How did you make yourself look like Esme?” Luca is breathing heavily and I know he is barely holding himself back, but we need these answers. “I was given a shimmer potion to look like her.” “One last question, who helped you with all of this because I know you aren’t this smart?” She clamps her mouth shut and I laugh at her struggle. She tries to pull away from the guard without success. “My father” she finally says before she bursts into tears. “You b**ch you ruined everything.” Luca stomps toward her but I stop him. “Take her to the dungeon now”, I say and the guards rush from the office. I wrap myself around Luca and he buries his nose in the crook of my neck.

“I’m sorry Luca” I say and after a few minutes he pulls back. “You have nothing to be sorry for. Thank you for helping me find the truth. I linked the warriors to take Timothy to the cells with his evil a** daughter. I think we should head to bed since tomorrow is going to be a hell of a day dealing with the council and my father.” He takes my hand and leads me back to the room that he gave to Esme. Once we have Luna, we head to our room. I can’t believe I’m here with my mate in our room. Even though it has been crazy, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I lay Luna down in her crib and head into the bathroom. Luca showered first while I got Luna ready for bed. Once I’m showered, I slip on pajama shorts and a tank top. When I walk out of the bathroom, Luca is lying in boxer briefs with his hands behind his head. Oh goddess, this man is built like a Greek god. His scent invades my nose and Zelda is purring. I didn’t know wolves purred. I walk to my side of the bed and slide in, keeping some distance between us. I want nothing more than to wrap myself around him, but I need to respect his wishes.

“Good night, Luca” I say over my shoulder. I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist and soon I am the small spoon with a big body pressed against mine. Holy sh*t I love the way he feels against me. He kisses the back of my neck before he whispers in my ear. “After we deal with everything tomorrow, I plan to make you mine Jade.” I stiffen at his words. I don’t want him to do this if he isn’t ready. “Luca” I start to say, but he turns me pressing his lips to mine. If I wasn’t aroused before I am now. The kiss is amazing and I feel it all the way to my toes. He pulls back and kisses my nose. “Tomorrow Jade, I will mate and mark you. You will be mine. My mate and my Queen until death do us part.” “I am already yours, Luca.” He pecks my lips once more before I turn back over and he holds me. I know tomorrow will be a sh*t show, but right now I am happy and safe in my mate’s arms. I can’t wait to complete our bond. I fall into a peaceful sleep.

The Next Day

Ruby POV

Maverick insisted that there was nothing in the look I saw last night in my father’s office, but I feel like he isn’t being totally honest with me. He distracted me with his amazing body and a lot of s*x, but I have no intentions of letting it go. We are driving toward the police station before we head to the office. Autumn is going to be meeting us at lunchtime so we can talk to Connor. I’m excited and nervous about how he is going to react to the news about being Autumn’s mate. I pray for Autumn’s sake that he has an open mind and realizes how lucky he is to be chosen by the goddess to have Autumn as a mate. “What are you thinking about over there that you didn’t hear a word I said” Maverick says and I chuckle. “Autumn and Conner” I say. He takes my hand and I love the feeling of his skin against mine. “All we can do is hope he listens and gives it a chance Ruby.” I know he’s right. “Now what were you saying?” “I was just thinking about that night of the accident and the break in.” I had already thought about what the man had said to Gwen and what Bruce said to me. I know what Maverick is thinking. “Maverick, I don’t know your father. Did he ever hit your mother?” He looks deep in thought. “No, when I think back to my childhood he was absent. I never saw him hurt my mother. He never yelled or hit her. He was just gone a lot. After he cheated on her, I wondered if it was the first time or if it was something that happened all the time.” I hate the pain in his voice. It makes me want to rip Bruce’s arm off and beat him with it. Gemma laughs “I would like to see that.”

We reach the police station and the officer handling the case greets us. He looks at Maverick with concern. “We are both lawyers and will be handling Ms. Martin’s defense.” He nods but I’m sure he is confused by this whole situation. “Has my father been brought in on charges” Maverick asks. “No sir, we have no solid proof. All the evidence points to Ms. Martin. Without some type of evidence, we cannot accuse your father based on Ms. Martin’s accusation.” Maverick nods and he takes us to a room to wait for Delilah. A few minutes later, an officer brings her in and her face lights up when she sees Maverick. The happiness fades when she sees me, but she stays quiet. “Delilah, I am going to make this perfectly clear. Maverick isn’t interested in you. If this is a lie, so he won’t hold the accident against you, it won’t work. We are together and the only reason we are here is because we want to see the right person punished. If that’s you, then so be it.” “I swear to you that I had nothing to do with

hitting you.” “Start talking Delilah and if you leave any details out of what you have done, the deal is off. You can find yourself someone else to represent you and I will make sure you are punished for what you have done”, Maverick says. She sighs and we all take a seat.
