"Gray, what are you doing?" Amaya asked as soon as she entered the office where Killian was currently doing some work.Killian sighed tiredly because he was getting a headache from all the thinking he was doing. The event that happened a few days ago wouldn't leave his mind and it was the major cause of his stress.''m working. Do you need anything?"Killian asked while continuing to look at the paper in front of him.The fact that he was angry at Amaya is still there but he also felt guilty because it was his own action that led Amaya to say and do what she did.He assumed that Amaya said what she did because she was showing Ginni 's family that he was taken and that he had moved on from Ginni . Maybe, that was one of the ways Amaya was assuring her own self because of her insecurities.If Killian did better, Amaya will have no reasons to be insecure but at the same time, Killian can't give her what she wants.Killian feels scared that no matter how much he tries, it will never happe
"Black , make sure everything is settled within the day I don't want anybody working throughout the whole evening. That is not why we hired them." Killian ordered Black who was standing right in front of Killian.They were trying to establish the right time for each member of the royal knights to patrol the surrounding area for any suspicious identities or scents."Yes, Your Highness," Black said while nodding his head in agreement.Killian sighed tiredly, 'I'm sorry for being too harsh on this. I just... I can't get it out of my mind."Black stayed silent because he was the same. It's like every time he closes his eyes, he can see the body.The dead body of the wolf who was slaughtered on the outskirts of the kingdom.It was very sudden because the wolves were patrolling the area as usual when they suddenly smelt a scent that was gut-wrenching.A scent that they have never smelt before prompted them to look for the source, only to find the body of a little girl.Her body was ripped
"What's tomorrow?" Killian asked while trying to keep the conversation going because he can tell that Yifa wants to leave after declining her offer to go out.He would really love to go out with her but there is only so little time that he can spend doing something else aside from work.And he knew that this will not be the only time he can go out with her, there will be another time.Yifa looked up from her hands which were in her lap, "No, it's nothing. I just wanted to buy something."Killian tilted his head, "Buy something? You can tell me and III let someone buy it for you."Yifa smiled at Killian 's kind offer but she shook her head in disagreement, "No need, Your Highness. It's nothing too big.""If you're asking me to go out with you, it must be something important," Killian replied while looking at Yifa expectantly.Yifa looked away, "It's not that important. I just really wanted to go out."Killian pursued his lips because there it was again, the pinch in his heart while loo
Killian sighed before scrolling through the papers again. He was reading an article about a rogue attack near the edge of the rural part of the kingdom.There was no reason stated on why the rogue attacked the people but the victims said that the rogue suddenly attacked them without any reason.Killian truly wants to believe them and he would believe them if he was the same person as he was before but ever since he met Yifa , his opinions and thoughts about rogues changed for the better.He now knew that not all rogues are evil, some of them just came from a dark past which made them very protective and cautious about other people.While others become rogue, not by choice. Like Yifa , they lose their family and pack.Speaking of Yifa , Killian looked at the clock in his office to see that it was almost past evening and Yifa was still not home.Killian wondered where she went. She did ask for his permission but he didn't pry her to tell him where she was going because it was not his bu
"What are you looking for?" Jacob asked Yifa who was looking at the numerous items scattered in front of them.Jacob doesn't know why Yifa decided to go to the market first before anything else.What the hell does she want to explore in the market?"I'm looking for something simple but valuable," Yifa said while picking up a bracelet that looks a little too old and simple for Jacob 's liking.Also, it was definitely not for a woman. "Yifa , that's for boys," Jacob said directly. He didn't want Yifa to even think about buying it because it won't look good on her.Yifa looked at Jacob with a blank look on her face."What? I'm just telling the truth. You're going to waste your money if you're going to buy that and it wouldn't even look good on you!" Jacob said while gesturing at the item Yifa was holding."It's not for me so will you stop mumbling?" Yifa replied because it was the truth, the bracelet was not for her.It was for Killian . The bracelet was black in color with a guitar pick
"Yifa , I'm sorry," Jacob said while following Yifa who looks to be on the way back to the palace.Yifa didn't say anything and just continued to walk away. She didn't want to hear Jacob talking bad aboutKillian any longer.Yes, Killian was mean and harsh towards her but he was doing his best to change. He was struggling but he still did it and obviously, he's doing a great job at it.So it's really irritating to hear someone talk so badly about him without even knowing him completely.Jacob had no reason to bring him down when Killian was obviously doing his best to change for the better."Yifa , come on! You're overreacting!"Jacob was annoyed with how Yifa was acting as if he cursed her.He wasn't wrong when he said that the King was an asshole towards her. How the hell does Yifa believe that the King will not go back to the way he was before?!Yifa stopped in her tracks before turning around and looking at Jacob angrily."Overreacting?! Yeah, maybe I am but I can't believe that y
Killian sighed before pushing Amaya off of his lap. He doesn't even know why he did that.There was actually no reason to be that rude towards her especially when he saw how excited she was when she entered the room."What now?" Amaya asked tiredly while trying to hold on to Killian 's neck because she didn't want to get off of his lap.This has been the first time for a while that Killian showed her some kind of affection after what she did."I'm not in the mood anymore," Killian said. He really wanted her to get off but the more he pushes, the more Amaya clings to his neck and it's becoming to hurt.He just gave up and allowed her to stay there.They were having some kind of fun until Yifa arrived which instantly killed his mood.He didn't know why he suddenly called for Amaya when he kept thinking of Yifa going out on a date with that alpha guard who obviously has some feelings for her.No matter how Yifa denies it, Killian could clearly see the love and affection he had for Yifa .
Yifa opened her eyes due to the cold sipping through her body and she couldn't shake off the pain radiating from her chest.What was happening? She couldn't exactly remember what happened.The moment she opened her eyes, sunlight entered her eyes which made her close her eyes immediately.She groaned before getting up from the cold hard floor that made her back ache uncomfortably.It has been a long time since she felt the discomfort of sleeping on the floor.Ever since she entered the palace, she never had to sleep on the floor anymore.She ventured down the hall in search of Killian 's room, hoping that she wasn't late in preparing everything that Killian needed.But she doesn't know why the mention of Killian 's name was causing a painful twitch in her heart."Yifa ! What the hell happened to you?!" Someone shouted from in front of her. She looked up to see Black looking at her with horror in his eyes.Yifa rolled her eyes, "I know I look bad but you're looking at me as if I ki
