"As punishment for your betrayal, you will receive 25 slashes from me,"Killian announced loudly but he was looking at Yifa in the eyes, serious and mean.Yifa was shaking in fear. She can feel the fear running through every part of her body which was causing her to shiver and shake in her knees.What was Killian saying?It felt like she knew but she didn't want tounderstand. She didn't want to know because she knew that she might not be able to take anymore.The crowd cheered in agreement. But Yifa couldn't hear anything but the loud beating of her heart and the ringing in her ears."Don't faint on us now. I must say, your acting skills are very good and I believed every word you said but not anymore. Now that I know everything, I will never learn to trust or believe you."Killian said lowly. He didn't want anybody to hear what he just said because it was a shame to be fooled by this rogue so easily."Killian , I never... I would never betray any of you and especially you... you kno
"Twenty-five," Killian whispered because he was breathing too hard.He felt like his soul was leaving his body after the energy he had to put in there and not just because of the strength physically he had to put in but no, he also needed the strength emotionally.It felt like he wanted to cry when he saw the blood and hear Yifa 's cries slowly lowering and disappearing. He knew she was tired and when her head fell heavily, he knew that she fell unconscious.He didn't want to do it. After the 5th hit, he wanted to stop but he couldn't because the people around them were asking for more.If he stops now, they'll know how weak he is for this woman in front of him and even if she did betray them, he can't stop himself from worrying about her.So, he made sure to make his strikes a little weaker even if they appeared differently in front of the crowd.The only reason Yifa wasn't falling on her face was because of the pole keeping her upright. Killian wanted to free her from her restrain
"There's an attack!"Somebody shouted from outside.Killian and Black felt like they were daydreaming because this has happened before.They knew that this was caused by the same reason and the same people.They just never learn!They must be crazy if they thought that they didn't think about it because they did, they thought about it.Killian and Black reached the grounds while riding their horses and when they got to the place where the attack was centered, they were surprised at how peaceful and calm everything was.The western guards were facing the southern guards in a silent stare down but nobody was making a move to attack.Killian knew why his people weren't attacking and that's because that's what he taught them. They should never attack first because if they do, they will lose a battle.It is important to keep calm and let the other party attack first because, in that way, they can gauge their movements and create a better strategy to win."AH! There you are!" King Brian sho
"Well, what is your decision? It's either that stupid girl or your father and anybody can tell who you should choose," Brian said while smirking at Killian as if he already won their little game.He might be right though. If he was using his father, Brian was here to win the game and he wasn't going to give up until he gets what he wants. He's crazy in that way."What do you want? I can offer you something else in place for both my father and Yifa ," Killian offered. He wasn't wavering and even if he felt cornered, his mind was running a mile per second to know what he can do to make him change his mind.He doesn't even know why he doesn't want to let go of Yifa . What was he thinking? He could have just chosen his father but the thought of giving up Yifa was making his heart clench in pain.Black looked at Killian in surprise, he saw it from the corner of his eyes and he completely understand why because even if he can't understand what he's running through his mind.But Black wa
Killian woke up suddenly, sitting up on the bed with sweat running down his face.His heart was beating so fast that he felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest.It has been two days since Yifa went with the South and ever since then, he never had a good sleep because he was always dreaming of Yifa 's said and defeated expression when she said goodbye and until she disappeared from his sight.Her expression was haunting him every day, morning and night. It was an endless cycle of confusion, hurt, and pain."Are you alright, Killian ?" Amaya asked while holding his arms.Killian only moved away from her by swinging his legs on the side of the bed and putting his head in between his hands while his elbows were on top of his knees.He sighed heavily while trying to control his breathing."Yeah, I'm fine," He answered after a few seconds. He didn't really want to answer because he was not sure what he was feeling but he doesn't want to ignore her as well."You have been havi
Yifa was lying on the floor. She has been kept in this dakr room for the past days but in reality, she doesn't know how long she has been in the same room because there was no windows to tell if it was morning or evening.Everyday, Yifa was just passing through life while slightly hoping that she'll just simple die alone but at the same time, she doesn't want to die without seeing Killian one more time.She can still remember the look onKillian 's face when she said goodbye.It looked like he wanted to cry but he was doing his best not to. Yifa could see the pain and regret in his eyes but even if it was staring at Yifa 's face, she doesn't want to expect or hope for anything.But even if she didn't want to get involved with him anymore, she couldn't help but miss him. She misses him so much, it hurts.Yifa can still remember the way she felt when she learned the truth behind everything.The truth behind the reason why she was captured, the reason why Killian was mean to her is also
Killian made sure to get his health back up. He went out of his way to eat healthy food and work out at the same time.It only took him a day to completely gain his strength back and the only reason he was able to do that was because of Yifa.Yifa 's face has been appearing in his mind every day and every time. There was never a time when he doesn't think about Yifa and everything about her.Everything about her face, her personality, her hobbies, and every expression that she makes was etched in Killian's mind.He felt free while thinking about her.This time, he doesn't have to keep denying himself the thought of falling in love because she is his mate.But he couldn't also deny the guilt that was eating him alive at the fact that he had hurt Yifa in more ways than one and that Ginni was still lingering in his mind and heart."Are we good to go? Does everything make sense?" Black said while looking at each of the people who were going to go with them and take Yifa back.Killian trus
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
