Yifa looked at the mirror with a smile on her face but anybody could see the clear nervousness surrounding her.She looked nervous and worried about whatever it was that was going to happen tonight. She didn't want to imagine negative things but a part of her, she felt like something was going to happen and it was not going to be good.She doesn't want to think about it but she was never wrong with her instincts before but she's hoping that this time, she's wrong.She let out a deep breath before looking at herself in the mirror again and was slightly amazed at how well she cleaned up herself.She was wearing a baby blue dress that was off-shoulders and fell right above her knee, it was tight on her waist before flaring downwards.She didn't apply too much heavy make-up on her face because as always, she liked looking simple and plain but pretty.For her hair, she tied it up in a high ponytail that accentuated her face well.All in all, she felt good about herself, and hopefully, Kill
No, no. This can't be happening.Yifa didn't know what to think or what to do with this fact. The fact that Killian left her to meet up with Amaya when he clearly promised to stay with her.Didn't he say that he was going to wait for her? Didn't he say that he'll stay because he wants her to enjoy her day?Was that all a lie? Was he playing with her feelings?Yifa shook her head in complete disbelief. She doesn't want to believe that Killian could do something so...so painful.She was looking forward to this day and even if she felt nervous, she was excited to be able to spend some time with Killian. She and him only, alone.She wasn't expecting more than just a dinner and a few small talks but it was still something and that was what kept her going throughout the day.No matter how small this day can be for Killian , for Yifa this was a dream come true. A dream that she had ever since she was small. A dream that kept her strong and fighting despite the hard life of being a rogue. A d
Killian climb up the stairs in hurried steps because a part of him was crying with the person.he doesn't know why but all he knew was that he needed to know and heneeded to make it stop or else he was going to get emotional too.He may sound like a complete fool but he was only saying what was really on his mind and what he was feeling.He quickened his steps when he heard another cry and this time, it felt like he knew who that person was but he couldn't pinpoint it directly.But when he got to the place, the ballroom, his heart fell and his frown deepened.Yifa was sitting in the middle of the floor, crying with her arms wrapped around herself."Yifa ?" Killian asked worriedly while approaching her quickly.But as soon as Killian touched her shoulder, Yifa immediately jerked away from his touch, flinching."Yifa ? What's going on?" Killian asked but this time, he avoided touching her."Go away, Your Highness." Yifa replied. Her voice was muffled because she was hiding her face in
She wanted to confront him. Shout and demand answers for the way he left her and why he did it.But at the same time, she felt scared.She felt scared to know the answers behind his departure. What if his answers will just hurt her more than she already is?What if he tells her that he left because of Amaya ? Because she needed him?Because she wanted Killian to be there?But she needed and wanted Killian to be there for her too. Would Killian have chosen her if she also asked him to stay?What if Killian was given the choice to choose from Yifa and Amaya?Would he choose her?She was scared to know the answer to that question if it ever happens because she knows, deep down she knows that Killian will not choose her.Of course, Killian will choose his future mate, the person he's going to be with for the rest of his life.And not Yifa . Not the person he considered a slave and then considered as a friend for some other different reason. A friend he fought with and then apologized.A f
Yifa took Killian 's offer to bring her to her room because she knew that Killian wouldn't let the topic go. He'l do anything to persuade her and on any other day, she would have jumped in joy and happiness at having his attention.But, not today. Today, Yifa felt like she was suffocating when having him near.She felt like she was fighting for her life while he looks at her the way he always does, kind and warm.Yifa would have never doubted him but after what happened today, she couldn't understand why he was looking at her in such a way. She doesn't understand the motive behind his actions.Did he really care for her? Was it all just her imagination?They silently walked the silents halls going to the hallway where their bedrooms were located.It made Yifa painfully aware that she can't really avoid Killian because his room was next to hers.Yifa almost laughed at the way this day turned out. One moment she was enjoying the feel of her own room, fixing her things and arranging ever
"Attack! There is an attack!" Somebody shouted which caused Killian to abruptly stands from his chair and hurry outside hoping that they were just joking around.He would get angry at the joke but he'll still rather have this than worry about other stuff.But sadly, it wasn't a joke and they were going to pay the price of Amaya 's mistake.Before Killian knew it, there was the sound of the horn echoing all around the palace and all around the whole kingdom of the West.The people look at each other, confused and worried but before they can even react, a bomb resounded from the borders causing them to scream and run away, further from the source of the bomb.This wasn't a drill and this certainly wasn't a joke.There was an attack and everything was going to start falling."What the hell is happening?" Killian shouted while running around the hallway and trying to get to Black.Killian trusts Black . He trusts him enough to know that he'l be able to tell him what's wrong and what's goi
Killian was still with Black , devising a great plan while the rest of the armies were scattered around the city.They were trying to calm the people down, make sure they were safe and inside and away from danger."I'm here!" Derek suddenly announced while entering the office and fixing his sword on his waist.Killian looked at his brother and couldn't help the worry that he felt about he thought of his little brother going out there and endangering himself but he also knew that they needed him.Derek was a great fighter and he had skills that were unusual but good.Killian smiled at Derek to show his thanks before beckoning him over.The higher officials of the army were looking at the three men with pride because they were young but they were ready to fight and do everything to protect all of them.They had it worse than some of them in the army because great and big responsibilities were placed on their shoulders even though they were young and unprepared. Especially Killian , thei
Killian sighed before sniffing with his eyes closed. He needed to concentrate and make sure that there were no more strangers in their territory.When Killian was sure, he opened his eyes and nodded in assurance at his subordinates who grinned.They were extremely happy that they got away from that attack with only a few injuries and casualties but nothing too heavy. They will recover soon."Thank you for being here despite the different possibilities that can happen.Even if our plan wasn't the best, we were still able to pull it off.Everybody did great!" Killian announced while smiling at each one of them, making sure to look them in the eye one by one to show gratitude and how proud he was for their bravery and strength.It meant a lot to Killian to have such people on his side. He looked at Black."Especially you. You were the ones who trained these people to be who they are now and I couldn't have chosen anyone better to train them." Killian said proudly while squeezing Black'
Yifa sighed quietly as she watched the snow falling outside their window, and then occasionally to the dying flames in the fireplace. Her head was resting on her hands which lay over the hard plane of her mate's chest, enjoying the steady rise and fall of his breaths.There was a slightly withered flower in their vase beside the bed, probably the last to bloom before this winter started; it was always colder in the mountains, colder than any winters either of them had experienced before. But this winter, Yifa was surrounded by nothing but warmth.When she saw snow, it was always accompanied by a strange nostalgia.She thought of shivering nights and lonely days sitting by the fire, shut indoors and not wanting to go out because of the coldness that would greet her irrespective of the weather.They were now living in the South where Killian was still the Alpha King.This is where they started their life together while they left the Western kingdom to Derek and George .Somehow, though,
Yifa felt a longing ache in his chest.She wished she could have a child too, one day.But if she was to have a child she wanted to be able to raise them in a good place, with a good mate, where they would be treasured and loved. She wondered if Killian ever wanted pups. She brushed off the thought - there was no point dwelling on possibilities that she had now buried.Besides, she could never raise a child here - they'd be ostracised and ridiculed, would have to carry the same burden she did. An innocent child didn't deserve that."Queen - flower!" She grinned, deep dimples in her cheeks. She picked up a fallen flower, still nicely bloomed though a slight brown on the tip of one petal, and tried to tuck it behind Yifa 's ear.Yifa helped her place it securely before taking her hand. "Thank you, Mila."She giggled before walking a few steps back, touching her crown. Then she raised her arms suddenly, facing in a different direction. "Father!"Yifa glanced towards the approaching alpha
Yifa blinked up at Elena and Anita , perhaps the only people in the palace that was friendly to her by choice, and tried to ignore the tightness of her throat and the guilt swirling in her stomach, hands shaking from the aftershocks.Elena finally fell in love with Derek and allowed herself to be more than just second chance mates.At this age, they thought that their mates must have died or they were somewhere out there happy with someone else so they decided to get together as well.Surprisingly, Anita was actually Jacob 's true mate. They ended up meeting when they visited Yifa when she was still injuredThey started building their own life together just like Elena and Derek .George , the last brother of the Storm's, was back and he ended up replacing Black as the Head Knight. Yifa met him and he looked scary at first but he was actually a big softie once they get to know him better."Are you alright, Yifa ?" Elena asked quietly, smile so warm.Yifa nodded, suppressing the whimper
Yifa knew something had been off when she felt a strange scent permeate the air. It was about midday, and she was starting to get a bit dazed and weak from dehydration, so she hadn't paid heed to the prickles of a predator's stare.It wasn't until a large wolf stepped out in front of her that she felt her heart thud against her ribcage and her breath catch in her constricting throat.Growl low in the throat and teeth bared.Alpha.It was slightly scrawny, but still built with muscle, and from the dark, vicious look in its eyes it was ready to kill.Yifa was frozen to the spot. There was no use running, she'd hardly have time to change even if she tried. The wolf must be a rogue, and judging from its reaction, Yifa had ventured too close into his territory. Rogue wolfs didn't take kindly to outsiders - they had little morals and ethical values. This wolf wouldn't care that Yifa was a weak omega and an absolute threat to no one. He'd have no qualms ripping her apart.Yifa 's hands clen
Yifa and Killian continued to live together as mates but if nobody knew about them being mates, they would assume that they were only acquaintances because they rarely talk and they are rarely seen together.Killian kept to himself in his office trying to look busy even if he wasn't.Sometimes, he really is busy because ever since he defeated the South, he has been appointed as the new King of the South as well.It wasn't really his intention to take that role because the only thing on his mind at that time was Yifa and that Brian was a threat to Yifa 's life so he needed to dispose of him as soon as possible.But now that he was given the South as a new responsibility, he wasn't exactly happy about it but he had no regrets about killing Brian because Yifa 's safety will always be his priority.He has been creating major decisions for the South because when he visited them once after the war, they had a poor and underdeveloped living state which means he needed to allocate some of the
'Where is she?" Killian asked while climbing down the stairs quickly and abruptly."We made sure she's in the prison as soon as you gave us the order, Your Highness," The guard said while following Killian down.They will not allow their King to enter the dungeon without any security even if it was against the future Queen of the kingdom.Killian nodded before clenching his fists at the anger radiating from every part of his body at the thought of Yifa suffering because of her!How can she act so innocent while watching Yifa suffer from his own hands?When Killian got there, he looked at the woman sitting on the floor with her head tucked in between her knees.If Killian didn't know any better, he would feel guilty and sad for her state but knowing what she did, he doesn't feel any kind of pity or sympathy for her."Do you know what you did? Do you know why you're here?" Killian asked while looking down at her.She must have been sleeping because, at the sound of his voice, she imme
"How is she? Is she going to be alright?" Killian asked as soon as the old woman stepped out of his room."She's going to be alright, Your Highness. Right now, she just needs a lot of rest and make sure she eats enough food to keep her and her omega healthy as she gains back her strength," The head healer explained while rubbing her hands softly.Killian noticed the blood on the healer's hands and he couldn't help the whine that bubbled out of his chest at the thought of his mate's blood."Thank you. I would like for you to check on her every hour and if needed, you can have someone assist you but I want to guarantee that your assistant will be able to help rather than harm my mate. Do you understand?"Killian ordered seriously.The healer bowed her head before nodding, " understand, Your Highness.I will be back soon to get her everything she needs.""Thank you," Killian said before entering his room where his mate was sleeping peacefully.Looking at her now, she looks very peaceful
“I'm going to kill you!" Killian shouted before attacking the man before him.Brian knew he was going to attack so he evaded his attack before charging at him again which caused them to collide and attack each other.Due to their aggression, both parties started fighting once again to defend their pride and their leader.Killian and Brian were rolling around in their human form, trying to get the upper hand in the battle.But due to Killian 's youth and anger, it didn't take long for him to subdue Brian and pin him down on the ground aggressively.“I'm going to fucking kill you!" Killian said while squeezing Brian's neck tighter.Brian's face was becoming redder and he was coughing aggressively but he still did his best to talk, "If you kill me now, you'll never know who betrayed you and you'll never see Yifa again," Those words made Killian loosen his grip on Brian's neck but not enough to let him go.The thought of never seeing Yifa again was enough to stop all of his harmful though
It was quiet, everyone was quiet.Everything was quiet but little did they know, there were people lurking in the shadows waiting for the right time to attack.It felt like somebody just killed the night."Are we ready?" The person whispered and the people behind him immediately nodded with determination on their faces.It didn't take long for all of them to get ready and set themselves for whatever it is that can happen.The person in front of them was whispering but anyone can tell that he was someone of higher rank because his stance and pheromones were pointing in that direction."Let's go!" Their King shouted which only boosted their determination to follow him, always.Yifa 's sleep was disturbed by shouting and growling from outside the door.She tried to sit up as fast as she could but her back was protesting. She has been in immense pain ever since she gave her powers away.It was already painful before that but it was more painful now. It was a pain that made her wish that s
