The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate-Chapter 415 What Happened To Anne And Jack?

All this time, the people of the Armeria Kingdom that they had colonized so far were very afraid and submitted to the Obsidian Sand Pack lycans because of Elias' cruelty.

If the people found out that Elias was dead, Eloise was sure they would revolt and the lycans of the Obsidian Sand Pack would be chased out. She didn't want to leave the power and good life she had, being the queen of Armeria. So, of course, any news about Elias' death during the duel must be covered up.

No matter how hard the spies from Riga tried to find out what happened to Leland, they couldn't get any useful information. It was like Leland and his men never even set foot on Armeria. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

After trying for days and not getting any information, also not finding anything suspicious, the five spies decided to return to Riga and give their report to Noel. The head of the royal lycan hunters told Nicholas of their report.

"Your Majesty, the five spies I sent to the capital of Armeria have returned," Noel said when he met the king.

Sophie was invited to Nicholas' study to hear the report. Her face looked so tired but she was full of anticipation. The queen sat beside her, also watching Noel attentively, waiting for the report.

"What information did they get?" Nicholas looked at Noel impatiently. He was dying to know what happened in Armeria.

"They didn't manage to find any information. While they were there they didn't hear anything about the arrival of Alpha of the Blood River Pack or any news about the intruders in the palace," Noel explained.

"What?" Sophie who was also listening said in a trembling voice. Her heart grew restless. Queen Marianne who was beside her rubbed Sophie's back trying to calm her down.

While looking at Sophie and his mother, Nicholas wondered where had Leland really gone. What happened to him? Why was there no news at all as if he and his men were swallowed up by the earth?

One week later, Leland was finally able to sit up. He held his neck and rubbed it. Lying down for so long made his body feel very stiff. Eloise who just entered the room, and saw Leland who was already sitting, was surprised and felt very happy.

This was the reason why she liked Leland so much. The man was so strong, he could withstand even the deadliest poison designed to kill and could not be neutralized using any antidote.

The chances of surviving after being attacked by this particular poison were slim, it could even be called impossible but Leland managed to do it. She looked at him in awe. What a strong and manly man!

Eloise felt more eager to make the man her partner. A witch as powerful and beautiful as herself needed a very strong partner, and so far she had never met a man stronger and more impressive than Leland.

"You're really amazing," said Eloise as she was walking over and then sat next to the man with a bowl of blood in her hand.

She wanted to feed Leland again but this time Leland refused her hand.

"I can do it myself," said Leland taking the bowl from Eloise's hand and then drinking the blood that was there.

"Okay." Eloise smiled then looked at Leland. "You seem to have trusted me. You drank the blood yourself without hesitation. You are not suspicious that I mixed the blood with some new poison?"

She looked at him with a smirk. She loved feeding Leland, but when he roughly took the bowl from her hand, she didn't mind it too. He looked so sexy when he showed his strength like this. Eloise really liked a strong man like him.

Leland did not immediately respond. He focused on drinking the blood he drank with a flat expression. When he finished he returned the bowl to Eloise and said sarcastically, "If you want to kill me you don't need poison to do it. I've been at your mercy for weeks."

Eloise laughed then nodded in agreement. "You know I want you alive."

Leland looked deeply at Eloise. He felt the witch wanted something from him but still didn't want to say it. He wondered what exactly Eloise wanted...

"I have saved you from Elias, now you must keep your promise." Leland changed the subject by charging for the promise that Eloise had written in her letter.

"I understand that witches also have honor. They will not break the promise they made to someone who saved their life. I hope you're not an exception," Leland added, looking up at Eloise with his brows furrowed.

When she heard that, Eloise's expression immediately changed drastically. She, who had been looking happy earlier, suddenly became gloomy. Eloise was very upset when she remembered that Leland's main purpose in coming to Armeria was to get information about Sophie's parents' fate.

Until now, Eloise had never understood why Leland loved Sophie so much that, for her sake, he could do anything, including risking his life by going to the enemy's lair like this.

Eloise thought she was prettier than Sophie, much much prettier. She was also a grand witch, who could help Leland reach power and unite the whole werewolves on this continent as their king, unlike Sophie who couldn't do anything. Heck, being a hybrid, she couldn't even shift!

No matter from where she looked at it, she's way better than that damned Sophie. Thinking of this really made her heart burn with jealousy. However, Eloise tried to stay calm. Her smirk turned into a sweet smile. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

,m She didn't want Leland to think of her as a witch with no honor for breaking the promise she had made. So, Eloise nodded.

"Very well. I will tell you what happened to them," she said calmly. "They've been dead a long time."

"Are you trying to play me?" Leland stared at Eloise coldly. Even though he already suspected that Anne and Jack were truly dead, this confirmation still broke his heart.
