"Yifa , tell us what's going on. Is the King hurting you or somebody else?"Elena asked while ushering Yifa to sit down on the bed.Yifa looked a little too pale which meant that she was hiding something and the bruises all over her body is something that she intended to keep a secret."Is everything alright?" Anita asked while sitting on the other side of Yifa while Elena sits on the other side.They have known each other for a very long time so they know a lot about each other including the best way to comfort each other.For Yifa , she wanted to be surrounded by her loved ones whenever she feels sad or threatened because she remembers the feeling of having her parents hold her before they died.On the other hand, Elena was the opposite of Yifa . She always wanted to be alone and figure things out by herself.Anita was in between. The way she wants to be comforted depends on how severe the issue is.Yifa bit her lip to stop herself from crying. Crying is not part of her agenda tonig
I'm not flattering you, Your Highness.I'm just telling the truth." Yifa replied after a few seconds because her brain suddenly stopped thinking.She was surprised that Killian noticed that he wasn't the greatest guy when it comes to her but even though Yifa knew that it was true, she didn't want to judge Killian completely.Rvlee heard rumors about him being very kind and humble to the other servants here in the kingdom. She felt proud that her mate was such a gentleman but a part of her felt hurt at the fact that Killian was kind to everybody except her, his true mate.Killian chuckled, " I don't know if I should be happy or not because if you say that I'm good, there must be someone worse that did something bad to you before."Yifa pursued her lips before nodding,"Being a rogue isn't easy, there's a lot to think about. You can't even rest peacefully because of the fear that you might get attacked suddenly and you'll die without even having the chance to fight for yourself."Killian
Yifa shook her head, "No but you don't have to pity me, Your Highness. I didn't share my problems with you so that you can pity me."Yifa was angry at the fact that the King was using her past to be good towards her. She doesn't need pity.Killian shook his head, ''m not pitying you, Yifa . You have been incredibly amazing dealing with everything you did which is why I thought you deserve to have a good life now."Amaya was looking at them back and forth because she couldn't understand what they were talking about.Yifa continued to look at Killian suspiciously but when she saw the sincerity in his eyes, Yifa could only nod and smile in gratefulness."Thank you, Your Highness. I promise that this won't stop me from working on everything you ask me to do." Yifa said.I’m sure you won't. " Killian said. He was happy that Yifa easily accepted his offer.Killian was being honest. He did feel pity for what happened to Yifa but the reason why he was correcting his mistakes was that a brave
Yifa woke up with a start. She woke up in a great mood because she had good dreams.She dreamt of her parents watching her get married to her true mate. It felt amazing because even though it was just a dream, she felt the happiness in her heart flowing all over her body.But at the same time, she didn't want to expect more than it is just a dream because she knew that she was only setting herself up for more pain which is highly unwelcome.As usual, Yifa prepared the bath but she made sure that she was looking away from the sight on the bed because even though they're not naked, she doesn't want to see them hugging or cuddling.So, it became a hobby that she only woke them up by using her voice and not her hands or sight.When Yifa was sure that Killian was awake, she left the room to attend their breakfast which they eat after taking a bath.This is a simple protocol for Yifa and she never misses out on giving them a healthy breakfast because she wantsKillian to start his day brigh
looking for you as well but nobody would give me an appropriate answer," Yifa said while shaking her head when she remembers her journey of asking random people where Black was.'I'm sorry about that. I'll let you in on a little secret because it seems like you're very close to the circle now."Black said teasingly.Yifa felt a blush creep up on her cheeks. What does he mean by that?"What are you talking about? No, I'm not." Yifa said while shaking her head.Black chuckled, "I'm just kidding, Yifa . But it seems like when I am gone, a lot has been going on that I don't know about but you do."Yifa pursued her lips, "I didn't mean to intervene in other people's business. I just... I didn't want to sit and do nothing when I know that I can do something to help them."Black nodded, "You don't have to explain yourself. I know what you're talking about."Yifa smiled back, 'So, where did you go?"Black leaned in closer to Yifa before whispering, 'I went on a secret mission.1 was sent to sp
"Yifa ," Derek called her while they were walking towards Killian 's office because Yifa told Derek that they had something important to discuss.Black had to go his separate way because he had to see some other training before he could freely do his agenda."Hmmm?" Yifa hummed while turning her head to look at him.Yifa raised her eyebrow when she saw the embarrassed look on his face."Are you alright? What's wrong?" Yifa asked with worry clear in her voice.Derek didn't speak until they got to Killian 's office but surprisingly, Killian was nowhere to be found soDerek just beckoned Yifa to come in.Both of them sat on the couch beside each other.Derek shook his head, "It's nothing you should worry about. I just... I want to apologize for the way I acted and for the words I said. I hope you know that I don't mean them."Yifa smiled at him softly, "It's alright. I didn't take your words and behavior to heart. I understand you, I shouldn't have done that because you're right, a lot c
Yifa shook her head, "It's a secret, Your Majesty but I know that you know what I'm talking about."King Benedict acted as if he didn't know but he definitely did."Oh no, Yifa . I don't know what you're talking about. Would you help out this old man and tell him what it was?" King Benedict said dramatically which caused Yifa to giggle."Your Majesty will never forget this because he has been waiting for this moment his whole life," Yifa replied just as dramatically as the King.King Benedict smiled because Yifa was right, he has been waiting for this moment to right his wrongs especially to his sons.He wanted to tell them the truth and tell them how he really feels before he dies."You're right, Yifa . I have been waiting for this for so long and sometimes, I thought I'II die without ever getting the chance to experience it." King Benedict said after some time.I won't let that happen, Your Majesty. So, you should get some rest and prepare yourself for a great day tomorrow with your
Yifa opened her eyes to get up and do her usual routine in the morning but this time, there was no happiness and no hope, unlike the other days.She feels numb and defeated. She doesn't feel anything and she'd love for it to stay that way because she would rather be emotionless than open her feelings to hate.She rubbed her eyes because it wouldn't stop stinging. She doesn't remember when she fell asleep because she has been crying all night until around early morning.The hurt and pain in her heart never went away. It was there and it was shattering her heart and what's worse is hearing her omega howling inside her head. It was full of pain and longing.Both of them were longing for something that will never happen. They were longing for someone who will never love them or care for them the way they imagined and wanted.Killian was right, they were fighting a losing battle because they were the only ones fighting. It wasn't a fight for both of them, it was a fight only for Yifa.She
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
