FATED TO A TYRANT SLOW START
GALLAHAN’S POVWilla went back to sleep not long after we agreed to start over from scratch.And while I immensely appreciated the positive turn of events, I also knew that it was only a matter of time before our old grievances—the numerous bloody hatchets we had agreed to bury—would come back haunting and hurting us.But I shoved to the back of my mind, wanting to believe that it was a worry for next time, and that it was in my best interest, as well as my children’s, to just keep the peace and bask in the current moment.So after I opened the windows to let the chilly morning air in, I laid down on the bed, sliding beneath the blanket. “Hi, love,” I whispered near Calisto’s wolf ear. “Daddy’s here. The moon goddess listened to you, you know? I’m here now. I can’t wait to properly meet you and your sister when the two of you wake up. Don’t keep me waiting for far too long, yeah?”As if Calisto had heard me, a small and wobbly whimper left his lips. His brows were tense and furrowed,

WILLA’S POV“Ugh. Who the fuck is it? It’s barely morning,” Gallahan grumbled, holding Calisto a tad bit tighter as if to show how unwilling he was to leave the nest.“Language,” I chided mildly, giving him a stern glare.He rolled my eyes at me and retorted, “I will use any language I want-”“Not in front of our children,” I argued. “Now… Would you mind?”I gave a pointed glance at Gillian, and Gallahan was quick to take the hint.Since we had started nesting, we could no longer leave the bed at the same time. And given how he seemed to loathe the idea of letting go of Calisto anytime soon, it fell upon me to see who it was behind the door.But just as I was about to move Gillian and hand her over to Gallahan, William’s voice resounded from the other side of the door, saying, “I hate to bother you so early in the morning, but I have to give you a few things. One of them is urgent.”“Just come inside,” I said loudly, settling back comfortably against the headboard with Gillian still c

GALLAHAN’S POVMy eyes never strayed from Willa’s side profile as she loudly read the missive from Dad in a clear and enchanting voice.I was barely registering the words she was saying, too preoccupied in taking in the sight of her, as if I was trying to ingrain her likeness in the forefront of my mind and the back of my eyelids.“Han?” She called out as she waved the letter in front of me.“Uh, yes?” I replied dumbly as I took the damn letter from her while pretending I wasn’t heating up in embarrassment over being caught staring like a lovesick fool.“Are you going?”I blinked, not quite following our conversation. “Going where?”Willa sighed exasperatedly. “Were you even listening, Gallahan?”I grinned, my entire body relaxing as I answered, “Not really. You were too distracting.”She rolled her eyes at me, and my mind responded by traitorously flashing an image of her doing the same but out of pure pleasure I would give her.I quickly exiled the thought, mentally berating myself

WILLA’S POVIt was so terrifyingly easy to be lulled into a sense of comfort and warmth around Gallahan. My defenses just seemed to turn to putty with just one smile, one playful remark, one damning touch.It hadn’t even been long since we agreed to start over again, and yet I was already on my way towards the forbidden and dangerous territory where a slippery slope called ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ awaited me.Heck, even the throbbing deep wound from the humiliating rejection of my blowjob seemed to cease existing whenever he so much as glanced at me.I was fucking pathetic. Was being so weak and pathetic come in a package in being bonded to one’s fated mate? Ugh!The culprit of my crisis casually sauntered out of my en suite bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. A smaller one hung around his neck, which he had obviously used to dry his hair.“God, I still feel like I’m about to burst from our dinner.”He patted his abdomen as if to prove his point, but it was all moot w

WILLA’S POVI wiped the foggy mirror clean with the palm of my hand and immediately saw how pink I actually looked.I would surely earn a raised brow over the hue that had taken over my entire face. But then I could always blame it to the steaming stream of the shower, and not to the thought that Gallahan bloody Wick jerked himself to completion in my bathroom with the scent of my personalized shower gel pervading the air.Shaking away the notion and the unholy image it brought along, I steeled myself to leave the bathroom. It was imperative that I was emotionally and mentally ready to face Gallahan again after… after…Ugh.Why did he have to do such an indelicate activity in MY bathroom?I angrily slapped my cheeks three times, worsening the pinkness of my skin. “Nothing happened. Who cares anyway? We had fucked before. So this is not a big deal.”But it kind of was.Did Gallahan get himself all hard and randy because of the artificial scent of my soap that always mingled with my own

GALLAHAN’S POVDays bled into a week, and a single week morphed into three. Gradually, the twins began to show signs of getting better, much to our relief.The ears slowly but surely shrunk and disappeared by the end of the second week of nesting, and their cute little hands returned by the middle of the third. The fur that had sprouted on their arms eventually diminished until none was left.But nesting wasn’t as easy as I initially thought it was.Sure, it meant staying in the nest for ninety-nine percent of the time, cuddling and showering Calisto and Gillian with affection, which were both easy feats to do.But when the second week rolled in, Willa and I gradually got sick of the humdrum of our days. Our bodies desperately sought movement and nature.Our skin yearned to bask in the warmth of the morning sun, and our eyes were desperate to get a glimpse of a different view from the one we always see in our window.The longing and need to roam free outside, to greedily breathe in th

WILLA’S POVGallahan blinked at me twice. It seemed like he had failed to comprehend what I just said, as if my words rang foreign to his ears.His jaw ticked taut and relaxed repeatedly for a few heartbeats before he said a baffled, “What?”I shifted, moving near the end of the bed so I could have a semblance of detachment and defenses through the space between us. Then I folded and crossed my legs, settling down as comfortably as I possibly could.“Custody, Gallahan,” I said nonchalantly. “Guardianship of our children. Where they stay and who will raise them. That type of thing that parents who aren’t together discuss and agree on.”“Don’t get too cheeky with me, Willa. I know what custody is. I don’t need you to explain it to me.”“Then why do you look like I just spouted something a spiel of gibberish you couldn’t understand?”Gallahan threw his head back a little and stared at the ceiling, seemingly praying for a long thread of patience he clearly didn’t have the bone for.Then w

GALLAHAN’S POV I accepted Willa’s offer. After all, beggars couldn’t be choosers. I also saw the rationale behind the condition Willa had firmly set. I didn’t know the twins that well enough yet, and I didn’t have much experience with children in general. The decision, however, was soon met with watery eyes and quivering bottom lips. Both Gillian and Calisto, who had already fully recovered, didn’t take the news well. “But you said you were going to stay,” Gillian argued, gripping her spoon so tightly that her hand trembled. “You promised.” “You did,” Calisto chimed in from where he sat on the chair next to Gillian, his bowls of fruits and yogurt stood forgotten on the dining table. “We heard everything, Daddy. We were sleeping, but we heard you, and you promised. We know you did.” “Yes, yes,” I said placatingly. “But-” “No. You promised,” Gillian insisted, sounding completely indignant. “Y-you… You promised.” Then the first tear rolled down, followed by another and

FATED TO A TYRANT PAUSE
WILLA’S POVAs soon as I entered the lounge room, I was welcomed by a soothing scent of freshly steeped tea and a question uttered by a calm and serene voice that had grown familiar to me in the last several days.“The kids?” Zuleika asked without bothering to tear her gaze away from the porcelain tea cups she was filling with golden-hued tea.She and Maliya had quickly arrived in Wolverham after I had desperately asked Sarina to summon them through her spiritual familiar in the wake of Gallahan’s rampage against the rogue wolves and creature hunters. The two witches had then been staying in the Manor ever since.While it was a bit awkward between us at first, I still found that it was good and relieving to have them here.After all, the Alfiero Manor no longer kept any stock of the Wolf’s Draught, the potion that could induce shifting to werewolves, since the end of the war. We had no need for it since…Well…Since there were no longer any war comrades or packmates getting fatally in
FATED TO A TYRANT INFECTION
GALLAHAN’S POVOnce I noticed that Willa had fled with the twins, I let rage and primal instinct to kill take the wheel. I no longer have any slim shred of care for what would be left of the rogue wolves and the creature hunters once I was through with them.I became an artist of violence, creating a crimson masterpiece as blood painted the surroundings in splash and splotches.My claws dug into the skin and sliced through the flesh of both humans and wolves, tearing out piercing cries and harrowing yowls of agony out of their mouths.The pandemonium and the havoc I had brought upon was likely not that different from hell, where disturbed souls scream and beg for mercy.But unfortunately for these insolent beings, I was no god.I had no mercy to give any of them. Not even a sliver.Especially not to the rogue wolf who had been leering at my Willa as if he had intended to take her from me.I gouged both of its eyes and let the eyeballs roll away without bothering to spare them a glance
FATED TO A TYRANT PANDEMONIUM
WILLA’S POVMy heart stilled when the attention of every rogue wolf shifted to me. But it went cold and plummeted when their gazes zeroed in on Gillian’s and Calisto’s small cowering forms.Every fiber of my being went alight with my protective instincts.I adjusted my stance, no longer trying to be furtive with my movement, just so I could shield my kids away from the rogue wolves’ view.Or at least shield them as much as I could.Then I sent another warning growl, making sure to put more threat in each gritty note.Gallahan echoed me without hesitation. But the sound coming from him rang louder and deeper that it almost made me shiver.It was a sound that could make any other wolf tuck their tail between their legs. One that told a history of violence. One that promised a grim fate to those that wouldn’t heed his warning.But oddly enough, it had soothed my rabbiting heart. It assured me that everything would be alright. At least for me and for our twins.I couldn’t be too sure I co
FATED TO A TYRANT WRONG MOVE
WILLA’S POVThe ground beneath my paws as I ran through the trail on the far eastern side of the moorland was familiar. So was the crisp breeze brushing through my pelt while I towed in a slow jog behind two adorable pups that were rough-playing and making each other stumble every now and then.Gillian’s fur was much darker than Calisto’s. She could almost pass a good camouflage in the darkness of the night to anyone with eyes that were less vivid and sensitive. If she could just sharpen her stealth skills, Gillian would be a force to reckon with in hiding and spying. She would make an excellent hunter in the night.Meanwhile, it seemed like Calisto had little to no hope for that. But it wasn’t because he was slightly larger than Gillian, nor was it because his pelt was deep gray and had a very high resemblance with Grandpa’s. It was because he was quite ungainly on four legs. On top of that, he was a little too playful and loud, trotting and hopping and yipping the night away.It was
FATED TO A TYRANT TRIVIAL THINGS
GALLAHAN’S POVExcitement rang clearly in Calisto’s voice, and when my gaze flickered to his direction, I saw how his round eyes glimmered with eagerness and hope.The ghost of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips was quite endearing, and I couldn’t help but mirror it.Even then, I said as gently as I could, “I don’t know, bud. I think you better ask your Mommy. She’s the boss.”Calisto quickly diverted his attention to Willa. “Mommy, we’re going, right? Right? We have to go on a run tonight. Please?”Willa huffed, closing her book and tossing it aside. But there was fondness in the way she regarded our son, sending a warm buzz beneath my skin.She was a good mother to our twins, and every time I saw things that proved it, no matter how little or trivial it might seem to others, I would always end up feeling so full of affection for her that I often felt that I might just combust on the spot.“We’re going. After all, the full moon is the opportunity for you and Gillian to shift
FATED TO A TYRANT HUMAN MERIT
GALLAHAN’S POVI didn’t mean to be so cutting with my words.But regardless of intention, I still did anyway.Fortunately for me, the two balls of sweetness and energy were enough as a buffer between Willa and I, saving us from being trapped in suffocating air the following day.Gradually, though, the frigidity between us wore off, and by late afternoon, we found ourselves out in the back garden, having a picnic with the twins. A large red picnic blanket was laid out, and a few charcuterie boards of finger food sat in the middle.It was a good day. Crisp and cold breeze blowing by, ruffling leaves and making them rustle quite audibly. It made a relaxing background noise. Meanwhile, puffy clouds littered the sky, shielding us from the sun that was bound to dip beyond the horizon in less than an hour.If we were in Moonshire, we would’ve been locked indoors as harsh frost took a claim of the territory. Unless, the twins would appreciate a snowball fight while wrapped in multiple layers
FATED TO A TYRANT BREWING
WILLA’S POVElodie didn’t walk.She glided, waltzing into the room and towards us like a graceful swan moving on water. The sight of her vividly reminded me of Miss Banfey, and I couldn’t help but think that they were likely cut from the same cloth.“So pretty,” Gillian whispered in uncontained awe.‘She is,’ my mind supplied in agreement while my gaze remained firmly trained on Elodie.She was really quite the sight. Her beautiful hair was pinned on one side, cascading down in soft curls and contrasting strikingly against the fabric of her castleton green dress. Her perfectly shaped face, which boasted beautifully sculpted features, wore a barely-there smile that could only be read as genial and coy.And Gallahan?Gallahan couldn’t take his unblinking eyes off of Elodie.I bit my lower lip as my stare flickered to and fro between him and Elodie, who was fast approaching with my brother.Did Gallahan regret it? Letting go of such a wonderful woman?Did seeing her holding another man’s
FATED TO A TYRANT DINNER AFFAIR
GALLAHAN’S POV“Can you stop fussing?” Willa asked as she herded us to the great dining hall of the Alfiero Manor. “You’ll ruin my hard work.”“I’m sorry to break it to you, sweetheart,” I drawled playfully, “but my dashing appearance is not your hard work. It’s my parents’ hard work.”“What does that mean?” Calisto wondered, tugging me by the hand I was holding him with. “I don’t get it, Daddy.”Willa shot me an irate look, slapping my other hand that had been tugging at the collar of my regalia for tonight’s dinner affair.While I had my official garbs as the heir of the Alpha King, which boasted the colors of midnight blue and gold and had a long side cape for the right shoulder, Willa had clad me in dark green and black with accents of silvery gray for this Alfiero family dinner.“Daddy meant nothing about what he said,” Willa explained to Calisto with a tight smile. Then she shot me a glare when she noticed me fussing with the fancy silk jabot she had chosen for me. “I said stop
FATED TO A TYRANT MIND LINK
WILLA’S POVDays passed in a blur, and before I knew it, days had turned into weeks, and the weeks bled into months.In fact, three months had gone by, and I barely even felt it.Perhaps it was due to the infectious bliss of the twins that had only doubled since the particular family talk that happened in the dining area. Or maybe it was because it just felt so ridiculously right to have Gallahan around that it got me a little spellbound.In fact, it was terrifyingly fast and easy for him to meld himself into our home and into our lives. It was as if there had been a Gallahan-shaped void that existed all this time without our knowledge, and now he had reclaimed that void, rightfully slotting himself into place.He had even unofficially moved into my home, his clothes and other personal belongings taking space here and there. He rarely went to Moonshire now, only leaving the house when he deemed it was truly necessary.And while this setup was not what we had agreed on at first, I didn
