Bending to the Lycan's Warth 204
EdwardOne of my guards came to meet me, letting me know that there is someone outside the palace, threatening to bring down the place if he isn’t allowed in. They say he is making a lot of noise, talking about how his lover is here.The guards are confused, and they had to come and announce before this strange man starts to cause trouble.Of course, I know it is Alfie who is here, but I wonder what he wants.I followed towards the Palace gate and found Alfie waiting there, etched on his face."Oh, the Almighty king," he sneered, "my little brother has decided to grace me with his presence." His words cut deep, carrying with them the weight of our complicated history.“I asked to see my woman, but you decided to show me this man. But it’s no problem; I am guessing he is the one who will lead me to my woman. Thank you very much for bringing out your king to run my errands,” he said.“Alfie, what do you want?” I asked, knowing fully well the exact thing that he wants.“Don’t ask me such

Edward,I couldn’t believe the things I was hearing from this healer. What the hell was she talking about?In what state could Edwina be that would not let her wake up immediately? What did those men do to her?I had to talk and the healer making promises that was of no use to either of us I couldn’t help but inquire.“Please, can you tell me exactly what happened to her? Was she violated?” I asked.“I never checked for that, but I could see that she got physical with someone else, and there were a lot of scars on her body, which indicated that she was handled very roughly. She must have hit her head and passed out. But I will go and check immediately if she was violated, “ The healer she ran back into the room like she was scared to be in the same place as me.”I might have to fire threatened her, but I do not regret it. She must do whatever she can to save Edwina, because it would do her lot of good.I do not know what my anger would do if Edwina doesn’t make it out of this state, a

EDWARDAfter a few hours, just as we expected, Alfie approached the door. Everyone was on high alert, gripping their weapons tightly as Alfie opened the door.Immediately, my soldier, who was first at the door, reached for a sharp iron bar that had been heated in the furnace for a long time. He thrust it towards Alfie's chest, causing him to cry out in pain. Despite his cries, Alfie continued to attack some of the men, throwing them into the air and causing them to land on the ground with injuries. But just like I had instructed my men, they did not give up. The hot iron remained lodged in Alfie's chest, limiting his movements and weakening him.Another soldier launched at him, using iron shackles to bind Alfie's hands tightly together. The sharp edges of the shackles pierced his skin, making it difficult for him to break free. With each attempt to resist, the shackles dug deeper into his flesh.As I watched the struggle unfold, I knew I had to intervene. With a decisive blow, I used

EDWARDOnce he had this, it stopped for minutes and I ordered the rest of my men were still standing to clear up the place and bring everything outside.I also went outside, and Alfie slowly walked out of the hallway.“I trusted you, but then you do this to me?” he roared in anger.“You do not have the right to be here, Alfie, and I would do exactly what I have to do to keep my household safe,” I yelled back at him.“I did not come here to fight you; I came here because of Edwina. It is because of me that you were able to find out, but then you decided to ambush me with your men. Do you think I am stupid and that your little weapons can bring me down?”Damn, maybe I shouldn’t have provoked Alfie because he truly did not come here to fight me, but how could I even trust him? This man wants everything that I have; he wants Edwina and he wants my kingdom, and then he happens to be on the roof. It would be stupid if I didn’t take this as an opportunity to get the threat out of the way!Bu

AlfieEdward must be really stupid to think that his silly plans will work on me. I didn’t think he had it in him to orchestrate an ambush against me.But he is extremely stupid for thinking it could ever work out. I commend him for trying, but does he think I am weak like Damien?It will take a lot more to get me to the ground, and he should know that.Normally, with a hot rod in my chest, there is no reason I should still be standing and fighting back, but I am not ordinary, remember? I am a supernatural creature, and Freya made sure of that. She gave me powers beyond the comprehension of normal wolves.I never asked for this kind of strength, and I wish I didn’t have it. Maybe I would be something close to normal, but it does come through me sometimes when I do not expect it.I should be dead by now, Edward. What a betrayal!I had no plans to fight against him this time; all I was concerned about was Edwina's safety. But he decided to turn this into a war, and now that is exactly w

EdwardI couldn't believe the terrible things Alfie was saying.I needed to shut him up for his blasphemy. And I would never do anything to hurt him. Edwina is not that kind of person. She loves only me, and I am the only person she will have an intimate connection with. I am sure she didn’t do anything to him, but he could've hurt her.“How dare you?”It seemed like suddenly my strength had been renewed by the things he said to me, and he wasn’t able to fight back. I found it difficult to hold myself back from delivering violent blows to him and it weakened him quickly.I was ready to end him right there but a voice came, breaking through the violence. It was his saving grace.“She is awake, sirs!” I saw the healer standing there.“Who is awake? Edwina?” I asked to be sure.“Yes, she’s awake and is alert.” The healer confirmed.I quickly got up from my feet, releasing Alfie, whom I was ready to destroy at that moment for the disgusting words he uttered.Alfie also picked himself up f

AlfieEdwards paused at my words for a moment, then finally responded, "Fine, you can stay. But don't get too comfortable. I could change my mind," he warned before striding away.I couldn't help but feel a twinge of uncertainty at his words. Was that a threat? I doubted he would dare, though. Edward had a certain audacity about him, and I admired that.His Sullivan pride was unmistakable, a trait we both shared, despite my shorter time within the family. I recognized that aura, that sense of confidence and pride, because I carried it within me as well.Yet, despite his bravado, his words stung. The insinuation that it was partly my fault cut deep. Perhaps he was justified in his anger, in his actions. Maybe I had been negligent, failing to keep a watchful eye when I should have.Reflecting on our shared moments together, I couldn't help but feel a pang of remorse. Yes, there had been good times, but now they were overshadowed by regret and self-blame.I knew that Edwina was the best

EdwardI knew it would be unfair for me to chase Rebecca away, so I obliged and allowed her to stay in the room.She ordered the maids to get food. She had already prepared it and had a bottle of wine with it. I wasn’t feeling hungry.I actually don’t remember the last time I ate. The necessities of life don't really matter to me, but I knew that I wasn’t myself."Rebecca, I'm not really hungry, and I don't want you to decline your gestures," I said, trying to sound as nice as possible.“Your Highness, I understand exactly how you feel. I understand that she is someone you love very much, and now she is in an unconscious state, a state between life and death. You don’t know if she’ll survive it, but I believe she will, Your Highness. And when she finally does, do you think she would be happy seeing you in this state? Please take care of yourself for her.”I could see that Rebecca was trying as much as possible to be understanding, but it was hard for her to even mention Edwin's name.
