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.
Edward,Everything seemed like a dream when I saw that the palace where I had left Edwina had caught fire.I did not understand how it happened, but something told me that it was my fault.I feel quite guilty because I was part of the reason why she sustained so many injuries. I had no idea that she was there, so I just climbed over the door to save Edwina, but I had no idea.I was glad that the healers were able to save Rebecca, even though she had sustained so many burns. But hearing that she was pregnant was the last thing I expected to hear.Of course, she is pregnant. This is what she has always wanted. This was what she aimed to get when she drugged my food and took advantage of me. But how do I begin to explain that?I have finally fulfilled all the promises that I made to Edwina, and I am supposed to be happy with her right now. But Rebecca obviously is the enemy that was sent to ruin my happiness, and she is doing a good job at that.I feel so sad that Alfie is gone. He was l
EdwinaI was stuck here in the palace with this hideous-looking creature. I remember the terrible things that I saw with her and Damien. Why would Edward leave me in the same room with this bitch?I want to strangle her, and I want to take the life out of her. She looks so fragile; it would be very easy for me to kill her.As soon as Edward and Alfie left the both of us in the room, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity for me to end her life.I did not care what Edward was saying to Alfie when he wanted to take his swing at her, but I will not listen to any of that. She is as guilty as Damien for killing my parents.As soon as I was sure that Edward and Alfie were out of our way, I went for it.I was at her neck, my hand around her stupid neck, and began to press as hard as I could. She tried to push my hands off, but she obviously wasn’t strong enough, and I was not even willing to let go until I am sure that the breath has left and she is truly gone.“Plea…” She begged, but
I couldn’t understand what was going on. Alfie should not be fighting in his condition, but he continues to fight. What the hell is wrong with him? I tried to stop him from fighting, but at the same time, Damien made it difficult.Each time I pulled him away and fought the man myself, he ended up coming back to fight.“Leave my body alone, you fucking witch!” When he yelled those words, I knew that everything he was doing was not of his own will; he was being controlled. The witch is here somewhere.The second time Alfie went to grab Damien, I rushed to him to pull him away, but Damien delivered a massive blow to me and I landed on my back. Damien succeeded in pulling out a massive part of Alfie's heart, and it was then that Alfie finally stopped fighting…“Alfie!” I yelled as I watched him fall to the ground, breathing badly.His heart had been tossed aside, and I thought that if I rushed to pick up the heart and put it back into him, it would heal because there was still time. I cra
AlfieI knew that Edward was not as smart as he thought he was.What was he thinking? Taking all his men at once into Valencia to fight?Does he think Damien is stupid?Damien has been fighting wars since before he was born, and yet Edward thought his men were just enough to take Damien down.Well, he should be glad that I am here with my men. Even though I do not want to wear my men out, I know that they will come in very handy. But it is just too early for Edward to use his men; we haven’t even gotten to Damien yet.By the time that I did, it would have been toast.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew that they were in the palace, so that is where we are heading. Damien's head is mine.Edward had gone to the palace earlier than I did, but that does not stop me, I will always be there to save his ass.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew they were in the p
EdwardAs we were fighting, I felt like we weren't being challenged as much as I thought we would. Something is off, and it is hard for me to place my finger on it. Why have I not seen Damien yet? Suddenly, I felt a change in the atmosphere when I saw some of my men fighting against each other.I could not understand what was going on. They were all dressed in the same uniform, and it was a bit confusing for me to fight and defend.Why the hell are my men fighting against each other? It became apparent I made a mistake by recruiting men from outside. News could have gotten to Damien about this, and he might have managed to bring in some of the bad eggs into my ranks. Now, it is difficult for me to know who my men are and who they aren’t. It's impossible for me to know all my soldiers, but I know a few...I managed to find my way out of the crowd and stood in front of them as I watched my men fight each other."Retreat," I yelled. "By the order of the king, I command you all to retreat
DamienI didn't mean to hit Venus like that, but the things he was saying weren't right.Venus was on the floor after I swung my hand at him unexpectedly, driving him off. He didn't just land on the ground; he hit a very heavy stone, which made it difficult for him to stand up for a moment. I didn't know how much damage my action caused him, but I didn't care.“So it was you? You killed my mother and laid the path for my own life, making me hate my family just to use me as your puppet, and now you want to abandon me… why, Serena?”“Damien, take it easy. Remember, I am your mother, and I know what is best for you. There is war in the vicinity; this is not the right time for us to turn against each other. Stop acting crazy, Damien,” she said.“No, you are not my mother; you are Serena, the evil witch who took over my life, and turned me into a monster, hurting the people that I thought were my family. You took my right from me, but it was you all along, you lying bitch!” I was about to
EdwinaMy heart has not beaten normally since we set out on this journey. From the moment we left Galentia, I knew that my world was about to change, and I couldn't sit around without playing a part in it.The air became tense as we rode for Galentia. I wondered what was going through the minds of Edward and Alfie at the same time because I knew that my own heart was not settled, and it was hard to even pin down my thoughts. My thoughts were all over the place.It's time for Damien to die, and I'm afraid that we might not get it right this time because we have been missing it for a very long time. Damien has a powerful sorceress with him, and even though Edward managed to chase her home last time, we're not sure if she's still alive or not.I have zeroed my mind on any possibility of failing in the battle with Damien's life.This is it! I'm trusting Edward and Alfie to do a complete job. Edward is strong enough to take down Damien, and he has tried it before, but because there were so
EDWARDWith the fastest of our horses and a determined resolve, we set off from Valencia to Avalor with swiftness.Every step of the journey, I pondered what to expect when we arrived in Avalor. I feared the worst outcome: that Damien had amassed more forces than we did, and perhaps he had bolstered his ranks with dark powers.I lack any dark powers myself, and I often wonder how I manage to face him. Whenever I confront him, I never dwell on whether I am strong enough to defeat him or not. I am always driven by the anger within me, always ready to inflict as much damage as possible, and that is exactly what I intend to do this time.I am in no mood for smiles; Damien has had enough respite, and now it is time for him to face his reckoning.As the night grew dark, we decided to take shelter in a small village on the outskirts.We built a fire, and the men set up camp all around. I am not afraid of the night or what dangers it may bring, for I have so many allies that it would take a g
DamienMother is not taking this seriously, but Edward is already on his way here and it seems like he has a massive army.Some of my men are within his army, this is a tactic that I made a while ago, but why the hell does my heart still beat upon his arrival?I hurried downstairs to gather all my rogue army too. Edward is still far and hasn’t entered Avalor's gates, so there is still time for us to prepare.I had gotten a message earlier that Edward was coming today. How could I be so stupid to forget?This is all Mother’s fault… if I hadn’t been so distracted by her, seeking attention all the time, I would've remembered. I got this message a month ago that Edward would be arriving here on this day, but I totally forgot about it.Damn it!It is not too late. I ran outside and got all my men, telling them to guard the gates while I deal with Venus.I went back into the house to see that Venus was done packing his bag and changed into a different attire, ready to leave the house."You
