Anthonia sneaked into Ainar's little cabin with a cunning smile and put a bag of shiny gold coins inside Ainar's bag while she was not there. She was very excited and nervous, knowing that this dangerous act would determine what would happen to Ainar.
The next morning, while Ainar was getting ready for her usual chores, some palace guards suddenly barged into her small house. They looked at her with blame in their eyes when they found the bag of gold coins in her possession.
One of the guards yelled, "Ainar, you are being arrested for stealing. "
Ainar felt unfortunate and shocked when she realized how much Anthonia had betrayed her. She realized that she couldn't show that she was not guilty, especially when the proof was so strong against her.
Ainar sounded desperate and confused as she said, "I didn't take anything. I don't want gold; I just want love. "
But the guards ignored her requests. They tied up her hands very securely and took her through the palace, catching the interest of people who were curious and watching. News about Ainar being accused of theft spread quickly and made her fellow slaves stop being kind towards her.
Ainar gestured to a pack of wolves meeting, believing she'd be welcomed with open arms.
As Ainar walked through the palace, she saw Anthonia watching from far away. Anthonia had a look of evil happiness in her eyes. They looked at each other, and Anthonia silently said, "Have fun with your consequence. "
Ainar was taken to see the Lycan King. The king seemed confused and upset as he spoke to her, "Ainar, I can't believe you would betray our trust like this. You have taken things that belong to the kingdom and also to me.
Ainar was scared and shaking when she tried her best to tell the truth, "Your highness, I didn't take anything. " I can't steal from you, Your Highness. I think someone is trying to make me look bad.
The king looked serious and spoke confidently, saying, "Ainar, it doesn't matter. " The proof says you did something wrong, and now you have to deal with what happens because of it.
Ainar was disappointed after the lycan rejected her in the presence of everyone. To convince everyone how serious he was, he punished her for theft and starved her for 48 hours.
Ainar's punishment happened quickly and was very harsh. She was forced into a cold and wet jail room, her hands still tied, and left to suffer in the absence of light, and also starved for 48 hours. She was in pain from the hits she had been given, but she didn't let it break her.
Time passed, and Ainar started to lose hope. She was aware that nobody would trust her, and Anthonia's evil plan had succeeded in thoroughly ruining her reputation. Her fellow slaves no longer wanted to be friends with her because the palace now disliked her.
Ainar felt unfortunate and hopeless. She started to question if all her love for Adolphus was pointless. She held on tightly to the memories of their secret moments together, hoping that he would come and help her.
She didn't know that Adolphus felt guilty and unsure about something. He couldn't stop thinking that something was wrong, and his sister's constant efforts to keep him away from Ainar worried him a lot.
One night, Adolphus got a letter from Ainar, telling him she was pregnant. The moon was shining light in his room when he got it. The message got Adolphus angry.
The Lycan King reacted in a way that was surprising. He avoided her and looked at her with disgust.
"You actually expect me to take responsibility for a child. Don't tell anyone about this, and I want absolutely no involvement with it. " He responded to her with strong dislike.
Ainar was unfortunate and upset. She was unsure about what actions to take. She felt unfortunate and let down by the person she was meant to be with forever.
That night, Ainar listened secretly as the Lycan King talked to someone in his close group who was unsure about something. Throne Evans, showing his real emotions.
"Why do you still have Ainar in your company, even though it seems like you hate her? " Throne asked Adolphus.
"I don't care about her at all, my friend. " I just want her pretty and nice body. The king told Throne, his most trusted friend, that he no longer has any feelings or importance attached to Ainar.
Ainar felt unfortunate as she listened secretly, understanding how serious her problem was. She understood that she needed to keep herself and her baby safe, even if that meant making friends with people who didn't want her before.
Ainar found a secret diary in the Lycan King's hidden rooms while she was cleaning. She was shaking with excitement and felt determined.
The pages had the names of the people he hurt, and it showed the real story of how he sought after power and wanted to become the king at all costs. So he asked some evil forces for help, and he got it at a cost.
Some names in the diaries belonged to Elvlon and Elara Ainar's parents. They were among the people he killed to redeem his pledge to the evil forces.
Devastated, she knew that the Lycan King was very cruel, but his extreme cruelty and his agreement with evil forces had made her extremely upset. She felt determined to keep herself and her unborn baby safe.
Feeling sad and scared, Ainar decided to tell Michelle Kroos, who had been nice to her in the kingdom, about her troubles. She understood that Michelle was her only chance in this dangerous world.
One evening, Ainar found herself outside Michelle's room, feeling unsure about her decision. She breathed deeply and tapped gently on the door with her knuckles.
The door made a noise and opened slowly. Michelle was standing there looking both surprised and worried. "Ainar, why are you here so late? "
