The Truth.

*THE PAST EVENT THAT LED TO THIS WITHDRAWAL IN Cara's HEAT PERIOD.*

"Cara here is an omega, and she seems to be so powerful. Let's give her the potion to suppress her heat forever so that she won't be affected by the full moon during our coming mission." The head of Cara's unit says to the commander calmly before glance at her.

"What? Do you know the implications of what you're saying? If she consumes that potion, she will never go into heat again and there will be no hope of her getting her own children." The man says firmly as he tries to reason with the unit head, but Cara cuts in immediately.

"I want this, sir. Please let me drink the potion for the next seven days and then prepare for this mission. Being born as an omega was the greatest mistake of my life. I don't want to be controlled by my heat circle, so please let me drink it, sir." Cara pleads.

"Alright, it's your wish, so you shall have the potion by sunrise tomorrow. You may all go back to your training ground now." The commander says and they both rush back.

*End of the past.*

 *PRESENT DAY*

Cara wakes up to the sound of birds chirping. She lays on the bed while staring into a blank space as she recalls what happened and she bite her bottom lips. 

It can't be possible. She consumed the potion to suppress her heat forever and for the past five years she didn't go through heat or even feel the symptoms of her heat. How is it possible for her heat to return with serious effect?

"Good morning, dark raven. I see you're finally awake." Lucas says in a low tone while polishing his sword. He looks relaxed while staring at his omega on the bed.

Cara whips her head in his direction and stares at him for a while before looking beneath the blanket to see if she's still naked, and indeed she was.

She sighs and looks at Lucas with flat eyes before speaking up.

"Why call me dark raven when you already know my name?" Cara questioned as she wraps the blanket around her chest and sits up properly.

She feels strange and her breast feels heavy, but she's not worried because she knows why she feels that way.

"Pardon me Cara, but I guess I'm used to your general name, dark raven." The king says as he puts down his sword on his table and walks over to her.

"You're my mate, but it's a pain that your mission is to kill me. I know that you're a bounty hunter who hunts and kills bad guys from what I've heard so far, so tell me, who sent you to kill Me?" Lucas asks while looking at Cara deep in the eyes. His eyes are as red as blood that the hunter looked away.

She doesn't know why she can't stand the King's eyes one bit, but then she has to tell the truth to the king. She doesn't really know what to believe, but she hopes that after telling the king everything then she might get to know who's actually wrong or right.

"I was sent by Smith. He said that you're a bad king who kills his people, sleeps with helpless innocent omegas and later kills them. He said that your people are suffering in pain, so he asked me to kill you." She explains and Lucas laughs angrily. Now that he knows where the whole mess is coming from, he Knows that Cara was clearly misled by the man.

He sits on the bed closer to Cara but she quickly moves away from him, thereby unknowingly exposing her naked breast to the King's eyes.

Lucas's eyes trails down to the beautiful round breasts and he smiled before picking up the blanket to cover her properly.

"He lied. Smith lied to you. My people are happy, my omegas are all safe and full of pride. I've never mated with anyone until yesterday afternoon when I mated you because you're my mate, my omega. Smith only tricked you just the way he tricked the other prisoners."

Cara stares at Lucas in shock. She's indeed a fighter of evil and lover of peace, but how could she not see the evil in Smith. Now she understands why she hates the man for no reason. He used her and sent her to kill the alpha despite knowing that she could get killed by the king just like others he previously sent.

"So that means I'm not the first one sent to kill you?"

"No, and you won't be the last. Smith has sent eleven people to kill me so far, and four amongst them are still in my prison awaiting judgment from the law." Lucas says while looking at Cara with warm eyes.

"Four? Why four instead of eleven?" She asks as she's getting a bit confused. "Did you kill the other seven already?"

"No, I set them free and let them go because they're as innocent as you are. But then the other four are assassins who kill innocent people, so they must be punished for their evil deeds." Lucas says and Cara stares at him without blinking. How can the king let the people who tried to kill him go without harming them? 

She's still lost in her thoughts when her stomach suddenly makes a rumbling sound and she quickly lowers her eyes. She doesn't know why Lucas's eyes are still so red in anger, but when she looks up to meet his eyes again, they are back to normal and Lucas is smiling softly at her.

"Go freshen up, I will have them set your breakfast." Lucas walks out of the room and Cara blows out a heavy sigh. She stares at the closed door and then her naked body. 

She can't still believe that she's currently in her heat period. Before she took the potion to suppress her heat, she normally had her heat period for three to four days, so right now she knows that can't even leave the kingdom with her heat period on.

She stares around the room, trying to get used to the room, but just then the door to the room is slowly pushed open and two ladies walk into the room. 

One of the ladies is with a golden tray in her hands and the other is holding a set of beautiful gowns. A graceful smile is adorning their faces and Cara stares at them, observing their every move.

"You must be the king's mate, right?" The lady holding the set of beautiful gowns asks and Cara looks away, deciding to ignore that question. 

Everything is just so new to her, so she can't really call herself Lucas's mate despite it being the truth.

"Hello, do you remember me?" The lady with the golden tray asks and Cara looks at her for a while before nodding her head.

"You bought me food in the prison." Cara says and the lady smiled.

"Of course, you're right. My name is Rita and this is Janet, we're both omegas." She informs and Cara nods to their words. She's someone with few words and never had friends to begin with, so everything is so new to her because she's been alone for many years.

"Lucas sent us here to take care of you and show you around the room." Rita says while Janet drops the clothes on the bed.

Cara is shocked at the way Janet walks around in the king's room, picking out towels from the closet and walking into the bathroom as if it's her room. She looks at Rita and wonders if it's right for her to call the king by his name.

"Is it alright to call Lucas by his name? I mean, won't he be mad at you if he should find out?" She asks as she couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"What? Never. Lucas is a very kind and sweet king, he always tells us to address him by his name and not with his royal title. He's such a good man with a large heart and he respects the omegas a lot." Rita says as she recalls how he saved her life three years ago from the hands of hungry alphas.

Cara remains quiet as she couldn't help but imagine how evil Smith is for cooking up such dirty lies about the king. If the king wasn't that powerful, that means Lucas would have been long dead by now.

She sighs and looks at Rita and then her body. "Please I need to bathe, I'm feeling quite hot.

"I know, you're in your heat period, but don't worry, your alpha will take care of you, he's in a meeting at the moment." Rita says with a smile following and Cara blushes to her words and follows her to the bathroom.
