Yifa's POVAs soon as he exited the room, an overwhelming surge of emotions washed over me, leaving me completely vulnerable and in tears. My initial impulse was to confront him, to release the pent-up frustration that had been building inside me for some time. I yearned to scream and strike him for his sheer cruelty, to retaliate against his heartless and malicious words that he had callously thrown at me without any hint of remorse or regret.There was a burning desire within me to pound his chest repeatedly, a desperate attempt to make him understand the excruciating pain that consumed my heart solely because of his actions. I longed to interrogate him, to understand why he refused to recognize me as his mate, to seek answers for every uncertainty that plagued my mind. But deep down, amidst the turmoil of my emotions, I couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps it was better not to know anything at all. The notion of remaining ignorant seemed more appealing because it would inflict l
Killian's POV"I apologize, Your Highness," the rogue said, rising to face me.Her expression was filled with remorse, and it seemed like she was on the verge of breaking down."What happened? You'd better provide me with a compelling explanation," I responded in a cold tone.She ought to know that deceiving me is futile. My influence extends throughout the palace, and with a mere inquiry, I can acquire any information.She remained silent, her gaze fixed upon the floor."I am aware of everything. I possess the power to discern all, so lying would be ill-advised," I asserted, attempting to intimidate her by standing taller."I'm sorry. I was unaware of the whereabouts of the cleaning supplies," she explained wearily, her voice betraying her fatigue.She appeared tired in general, and this pleased me…I derive satisfaction from having reduced her to this weakened state. Breaking her proved to be a rather effortless task."Why didn't you seek assistance?" I inquired.Why does she disdai
Killian's POVI exited the kitchen, leaving behind the sight of the rogue struggling to maintain composure. I understood that denying her food, despite the hardships she had endured today, may seem harsh, but it was necessary to establish boundaries. It was vital for her to comprehend that I held control over her wolf and that I was her master while she remained the slave. Compliance with my requests was not optional; it was expected.Any defiance on her part would not go unpunished. If she dared to disobey me, she would face the repercussions. In the face of her ill behavior, I would exhibit my own worst traits as a response. Should she attempt to undermine me, I would firmly put her back in her rightful place. A shout from her would only be met with unforgettably piercing and direct words. And if she tried to intimidate me, I would exhibit true dominance, revealing its genuine form.I am the Alpha, the dominant force, and she will never surpass me in rank. My wolf emitted a low grow
I immediately extended a helping hand to assist him in securing his desired position. "She's currently cleaning the kitchen," I responded truthfully. My father arched an eyebrow, silently urging me to provide further details. "Well, she's cleaning as a form of punishment, but she's also under my authority, so she is obligated to fulfill all my commands," I clarified. Perplexed, he inquired, "Slave? Why?" I let out a sigh, but before I could respond, he interjected, his voice brimming with excitement, "Is this about your mother?" He seemed delighted at the prospect of causing suffering to this white wolf, presumably due to his sentiments towards my mother. "Yes and no," I replied, tilting my head to the side. Caught off guard, my father's initial enthusiasm waned as he questioned, "What do you mean?" I explained, "Yes, I do remember the consequences my mother faced whenever I request her to carry out drastic or cruel actions, yet simultaneously, I require her submission to attain her
Killian's POV I stared at the guard in front of me, my voice filled with icy coldness as I demanded, "What on earth do you think you're doing?" Standing before me was the very same guard I had explicitly instructed not to provide the rogue with any sustenance, yet he was now handing the rogue a piece of bread. A deep frown creased my face as I realized the guard had blatantly disregarded my orders. Visiting the rogue was not part of my original plan, as I wanted to avoid unnecessary complications. However, my wolf urged me to check on her, and I had learned to trust my wolf's instincts—they had never led me astray before. Reluctantly, I decided to pay the rogue a visit, even though I anticipated trouble. As it turned out, my wolf's intuition proved correct once again. While the kitchen appeared immaculate and free of any mess, that did not grant the guard the authority to defy my commands. Meanwhile, I explicitly and directly informed the rogue that she would not be granted any f
I stared at the guard, my eyes widening in confusion. What was happening? What was his motive? He glanced at me timidly, quickly diverting his gaze. Suspicion crept into my mind. Could this be some kind of elaborate joke? "Are you serious?" I blurted out involuntarily. I couldn't contain my incredulity. Just a few hours ago, he had been relentlessly cruel and disrespectful. So, why this sudden change? He sighed, his eyes avoiding mine as he continued to offer me a piece of bread. I noticed a faint blush on his cheeks. It was as if he was harboring some remorse or guilt. "I'm not kidding. Just take it," he replied with a mix of resignation and apology in his voice. I hesitated for a moment, eyeing the bread suspiciously. This guard must think I'm gullible if he expects me to accept it without questioning his intentions. Deep down, I knew there had to be more to this gesture. And then, he spoke softly, his voice laced with remorse, "I'm sorry for my earlier behavior. I was only foll
Killian's POV As I strode towards my office, the words escaped my lips in a venomous whisper, promising retribution. The encounter with that rebellious individual lingered in my mind, fueling an unrelenting anger within me. How dare she challenge my authority? How dare she raise her voice against me, the King? The audacity of questioning my actions, right to my face, left a bitter taste in my mouth. And that despicable guard, defying my orders alongside her! If even a whisper of this incident were to spread, I would ensure the guard's silence permanently. The hallway leading to my office seemed to shrink, as people avoided me or cast fearful glances my way. Their apprehension was warranted, for I could sense the potent aura of dominance radiating from me. Even my wolf, the embodiment of my primal instincts, shared in my fury at such blatant disrespect. I'm doing my best to restrain myself from reacting impulsively, especially considering that it was a rogue who provoked me. It would
Yifa's POV"Where would you like me to take you?" I inquired, noticing that the guard was noticeably younger than myself.Supporting him as he walked was necessary since the effects of the alpha command hadn't subsided yet. It takes a considerable amount of time, especially when subjected to it for an extended period.Considering that my mate is an Alpha King, his commands held greater severity and duration compared to those of regular alphas. I have no explanation as to why I possess this knowledge, but perhaps this is what happens when you are destined to be together—intimate understanding without the need for explicit communication.I let out a weary sigh. There is so much more to understand about true mates. If only my parents had not passed away prematurely, they could have enlightened me about everything essential regarding true mates. Unfortunately, their demise occurred before they could impart all the knowledge I needed.However, what is there to understand about my mate? He
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
