Before I could respond evasively, Grandpa said, “Now is your chance to explain, child. Your son is asking. Might as well seize the chance.”
Gillian and Calisto looked at me inquisitively, and I glanced at William for help.
He heaved a deep sigh before he reached out to Calisto, picked him up, and got back on his feet. Then he gave a nod to Gillian’s direction.
Biting my lower lip, I wrapped my arms around my daughter and moved her to sit on my lap. William then occupied the chair my daughter vacated, settling my son on his thighs and making him face me.
“Go on,” William murmured.
After drawing a much needed breath, I said, “Mommy has something very

FATED TO A TYRANT INNOCENT QUESTIONS
WILLA’S POVI pretend I didn’t see the way Grandpa’s ears perked up in full attention as soon as Gillian’s question was out in the air.William let out a tiny, ‘oh,’ and his piercing gaze burned the side of my face as I stared at my children with a small smile frozen in place.The hopeful look both Calisto and Gillian wore but tried to dim down caused an unbearable constricting feeling in my chest, as if my heart and lungs were being held in an unforgiving vice grip.I blinked a few times as I took a deep inhale through my nose. Then after releasing my breath, I beckoned my children to come over to me.They obediently did so without any fuss, leaving behind Grandpa, who was still in his wolf form.

GALLAHAN’S POV “Willa,” I moaned into the silence of my room while my hand pumped my painfully hard cock. “Fuck… Willa, willa…” Images of her, which were barely vivid for my liking, consumed my rut-addled mind. My imagined Willa willingly succumbed to me. She was spread out for me to take, moaning in pleasure and whining to be claimed, mounted and bred. Most of all, she looked at me like I was the man she actually wanted. Like I wasn’t some sort of heartless and evil pig. Hot desire and the primal need to have my mate swept all over me, and I pathetically bucked my hips, fucking myself into my hand. The tightness and wetness of my grip was barely enough, and the Willa in my mind’s eye intensified my craving to kiss her, hold her, and fuck her. I WANTED HER. I NEEDED HER. The desire was so raw and so visceral that I growled loudly in frustration because nothing I did was enough to soothe it. “Willa, Willa, fuck… So tight, baby.” My rut continued to torment me with waves upon

GALLAHAN’S POV“Can we go now?” I asked impatiently as I paced around the pavilion.“Hush, child,” Zuleika replied, stirring her fifth cup of tea.“Alright, tea addict,” I jabbed sarcastically.“Shut up. Let the letter we sent to the Alfieros marinate first. We can’t just barge in to attend their Ascension Rite.”“It’s been an hour, Zee. Surely that’s enough time already.”“Well go around sundown.” Zuleika threw me a look that brook no argument. “That is my compromise. Or you can find another way to get to Wolverham on time.”Maliya only shrugged when I looked at her, unwilling to help me plead my case to Zuleika. It left me growling in frustration, my eyes glowing golden.But Zuleika stayed unfazed by my temper. “Shift and go for a run to let off some steam. Paint for all I care. We are leaving around sundown, and that’s final.”Maliya shrugged once again and said, “She’s the boss. Whatever she says goes.”I sent an angry glare at my friends’ direction and stormed off, fuming with ev
Last Updated : 2025-01-06FATED TO A TYRANT CALISTO
GALLAHAN’S POV“Gallahan,” Zuleika gasped.But I couldn’t bring myself to turn to her or offer some sort of response. Because the adorable dark-haired boy with green eyes had seized my entire attention and was holding it completely captive in his small hands.My eyes drank in the cherubic face, then raked all over his small form. To be fair, he was probably average-sized among his peers, but he was tiny compared to me, who loomed over him like a tower.“He asked you a question, you know?” Maliya murmured as a reminder.I cleared my throat, willing the wave of nausea to go away. But with how my heart was leaping out of control and my blood fizzing with an energy I couldn’t quite explain, it was a little hard to get my bearings and reign myself in.I couldn’t even answer the simple question of the boy, because a lump had taken residence in my throat, and I couldn’t seem to swallow it down.It didn’t help my case that my mind was in jumbles, unable to weave words into something coherent

WILLA’S POV““Willa, Circe’s tits!” Sarina cried out, looking utterly pale as she barged into my room in the Alfiero family house.“Language!” Mom and I immediately chided at the same time. But when I noticed how Calisto looked quite shaken and pale in her arms, I immediately rushed to meet them halfway. Upon closer look, I realized how Sarina also looked like she had seen a ghost.“What happened? Are the two of you okay?” I asked, my worry ringing loudly in my tone, as I got my son from Sarina.“Yes. No. I don’t know. I…”She cut off her answer with a groan, frustratedly tugging at the ends of her short hair.“Slowly. Breathe, Sarina.”She heaved a sigh and tried explaining again. “Yes, we’re okay in a sense that we weren’t physically harmed. But no, we’re also not okay. I just…” Sarina glanced warily at Mom, who was fixing Gillian’s hair. “We need to talk.”Sensing the urgency in her voice and the worry dancing in her eyes, I nodded. “Just a second. Alright?”I directed my attentio
Last Updated : 2025-01-08FATED TO A TYRANT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR
GALLAHAN’S POV When I came to my senses, I found myself lying prone on a soft brocade couch, the back of my head pounding in ache. “Fuck! What was that about?” I grumbled, putting a hand against my forehead. “Let me ask you,” Zuleika seethed from where she sat on the armchair, which was adjacent to my couch. “What was that about, you prick?!” Uh oh? Maliya’s temper had always been quick to rise, but Zuleika, who had a great grip on her emotions, rarely got infuriated to this degree. My behavior must’ve pushed all the wrong buttons for her to be boiling in anger like this. As if on cue, my memories of meeting Calisto came rushing back to the forefront of my mind, his terrified face flashing vividly and hitting me like a punch in the gut. “Fuck. I made a scene,” I said as I got up into a sitting position. Dread over leaving a terrible first impression to my son coiled in my stomach, and pain unravelled further in my head, as if punishing me for scaring him. Zuleika didn’t answe
Last Updated : 2025-01-09FATED TO A TYRANT THE OVERDUE REUNION
GALLAHAN’S POVWilla whirled around so fast in surprise that it almost made me chuckle. But her ashen face and widened eyes withered the huff of amusement away.A flash of recognition settled on her features, but she managed to school her expression back into neutrality. Still, it was an effort that was a second too late. “Excuse me,” she said, putting on a saccharine smile. One that I immediately decided to hate with how fake it seemed. “We were having a private conversation.”But even with the infuriating fake smile that was out of place in her damningly gorgeous face, I was still enthralled by the sight of her.So unfairly enchanting.It was obvious how the last several years had been so kind to her. Her hair was still as fiery as ever. Much like who she was. Then there were her beautiful eyes, shining in my favorite color.Gods, I could finally get the perfect shade of green whenever I would paint her.She had also gained a bit of weight on her svelte figure, likely a remnant of
Last Updated : 2025-01-10FATED TO A TYRANT HIS WOMEN
WILLA’S POV I could’ve melted into a heap on the floor just from the relief that flooded me as soon as my brother showed up. But I would rather shave my head than show any sign of vulnerability in front of Gallahan. “Nothing,” I fibbed, pulling Sarina away from Gallahan, who stood glaring at William. “Is the Ascension Rite about to start?” “In less than an hour,” William replied, willingly meeting Gallahan’s furious gaze with an impassive one. “I was sent here to inform our honorable guests. But then this is what I came to.” He walked up to Gallahan and squared up to him in an almost haughty manner. “Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Wick. Still, I honestly had half a hope that since we have welcomed you as a guest in our home in respect to you as the Alpha King’s son and in consideration to the longstanding ceasefire, you would’ve acted accordingly. But I suppose that is too much to ask from you.” Tension lined the contours of Gallahan’s body, betraying how he was just sec

FATED TO A TYRANT FLEETING PEACE
WILLA’S POVBOTH.We ended up doing both.And bloody hell, it was so damn good.I didn’t think I'd ever felt this sated and blissed out before.And yet, Gallahan was still trying to draw me into another round, as if he hadn’t even had half of his fill.“You’re quite insatiable, aren’t you?” I teased with a sigh as he carried me out of the bathroom after a round of shower sex.“For you? Yeah,” he answered with a smug grin, settling me down on my writing desk with nothing but my robe keeping me decently covered.Meanwhile, Gallahan only had a white towel wrapped around his waist.“You’re just too… tempting. Too… addicting,” he said softly, nosing along the line of my jaw while his hands danced dangerously along the tie of my robe.“Seriously, you need to stop,” I said, bubbling a little with laughter and pushing him away from me. “It’s already pretty late in the night. We just stepped out of the bath, and we have to eat dinner.”But Gallahan was nothing if not stubborn. So he didn’t bud
FATED TO A TYRANT WOUND UP
GALLAHAN’S POVI couldn’t quite believe my ears when I detected a ring of insecurity in Willa’s voice.Incredulity. Disbelief. Fondness. Upset with myself.All of these emerged, coalesced and tangled into knots in my chest, leaving me speechless.But my silence sent the wrong signal, and I saw how Willa’s shoulders drooped and hunched as the light in her gorgeous green eyes dimmed like stars losing their shine.“Forget it,” she muttered dismissively, leaning forward to capture my mouth into another round of mind-blowing kissing.“Hey, hey,” I said as gently as I could while her lips tried to land on mine. “We have to talk about this.”“I think the humiliation could already last me a lifetime. Let’s just forget I ever said anything.”“No, Willa,” I said as firmly as I could. “I won’t let you stew on this until it eats you from the inside out. I need to set the record straight.”Willa was unwilling to return my gaze. She had set her eyes stubbornly glued on a particular spot on the left
FATED TO A TYRANT GIVING IN
WILLA’S POVGallahan’s words sent a shiver down my spine, while my heart leapt into a whirlwind of emotions.Was I really going to open up and allow Gallahan in, just because Miss Banfey wasn’t actually his chosen mate and the arrangement with Elodie no longer stood?Yes.Yes, I was.Because when Gallahan insisted that I was his only mate and that I deserve to be put on the priority list, I realized that those things were what I wanted too.I wanted…No.I needed to be loved and cared for.And deep down, I wanted Gallahan.I wanted and needed him so bad that it felt visceral and raw and…Gods… I had been deprived of a whole lot all these years. I spent a good chunk of my life dedicating myself to a cause I deeply believed in, then pouring every bit of me into motherhood because the twins needed me.I was also sick and tired of being haunted by the what ifs and of soothing the ache with nothing but imagined fantasies.But here and now? Gallahan was offering me a chance to grab somethin
FATED TO A TYRANT NOT JUST A MOTHER
GALLAHAN’S POVI stiffened as disappointment with Calisto bubbled in my veins.He wasn’t allowed to disrespect my mate and the very woman who carried him in the womb and birthed him to this world.Son or not, I wouldn’t let such a remark slip. Not by me.“Don’t be too hard on him,” Willa suddenly said, seemingly knowing what ran in my mind. “He’s just a little kid, Han.”“All the more reason to instill respect in him, don’t you think?” I countered easily. “Nip it in the bud, Willa. Because I sure as hell wouldn’t have a son who couldn’t respect women, especially their own mother.”“Han, he’s five,” she replied with a deep sigh. “He said it in the peak of his emotions.”I frowned, feeling utterly concerned that she would shove her own feelings down as if they didn’t matter. “Doesn’t make it any less hurtful for you.”“Yes,” she agreed slowly, as if she was talking to a five year old, and not a grown man. But it was hard to take offense when she was so near and looking so fucking beauti
FATED TO A TYRANT REFUTING ACCUSATIONS
GALLAHAN'S POVI couldn’t believe it.Willa was jealous. JEALOUS!But then again, this wasn’t the first instance she showed me how jealous she could get, given how she almost lost her composure when she saw Zuleika put on my ancestral sash for me.Tonight, though, I nearly erupted, ready to return the anger she was dishing out to me so unfairly.I was so damn close to losing my temper; I was basically just a step a way from fighting her—her vitriol against mine—until she began spouting nonsense about me being a philandering asshole, as if I hadn’t been losing my mind as I tried to look for her in the last six years.Instantly, the burning and venomous urge to argue and spat out angry words fizzled out. But it didn’t mean I was just going to let her continue to stew with all her wrong assumptions until they could fester and completely poison her thoughts and feelings for me.Daringly, I approached her and tossed the other half of her broken pencil aside. Then I plopped down next to her
FATED TO A TYRANT ACCUSATIONS
WILLA’S POVGallahan’s hands were balled into tight fists at his sides, and I could almost make out the mild tremors of barely suppressed anger in them.“Because a relationship goes both ways, Willa,” he said softly, yet his tone carried a certain icy sharpness that would’ve made a lesser man tremble.Except, I was no lesser man. So I slammed my sketchbook shut, carelessly tossed it and my broken pencil aside on the couch, and said evenly, “But that’s the thing, Gallahan. Is there even a relationship between us? What even are we?”Gallahan’s throat visibly bobbed up and down as he swallowed. Then his jaws tensed as the fiery hardness in his gaze flickered with uncertainty for a fleeting while.“We’re fucking mates, Willa,” he answered, meeting my own gaze head on, as if doing so could give some sort of truth in what he was saying. “You’re mine as much as I am yours. Did that fact fail to get through your head?”“Let’s not kid ourselves, Gallahan,” I said, smiling at him wanly. “You an
FATED TO A TYRANT OUTBURST
WILLA’S POVMy hope continued to dwindle with each passing day that the twins refused to talk to each other. The day after the big fight, Calisto, who wouldn’t dare meet my gaze, requested to go to the Alfiero Manor to spend time with my parents.I allowed him to, thinking that maybe it was what he needed. A space to breathe. An environment where he wasn’t all cooped up.Gillian, on the other hand, stayed with me. But it was evident how quiet and subdued she had become.She still played, of course. But I could tell she was growing lonelier and lonelier. I tried to be there for her as much as I could, trying to fill in the void that Calisto’s presence and company usually filled.It just wasn’t enough, though. Because I wasn’t Calisto, and it was him who she wanted to talk to and play with.Hearing her sighs and seeing her half-forced a smile made me want to castrate Gallahan every single time.The very bastard who finally deigned to show up on the late afternoon of the fourth day after
FATED TO A TYRANT ONE BIG FIGHT
WILLA’S POV“I… I…” Calisto stammered, but I remained frozen as stone.My heart seemed to have shrunk like a deflated balloon, while my lungs were ready to burst out.My vision blurred with tears in an instant, and I couldn’t make another sound other than a choked out gasp.“I hate you!” Gillian shouted, pushing Calisto and sending him falling on his butt. “You’re not my brother anymore!”My family was crumbling all around me in a snap, and I couldn’t let that happen just because Gallahan couldn’t be man enough to keep his promises. So I blinked away my tears and shoved my own feelings aside.I helped Calisto get back on his feet, but he recoiled from my touch as if I had burned him.It sent another wave of excruciating pain in my chest, which I dutifully tried to ignore by turning my focus on Gillian.“Gillian, that’s not nice,” I said softly, caressing her back up and down to soothe her anger away.“What he said wasn’t nice either!”Her tears had ceased falling, but her face was sti
FATED TO A TYRANT SIBLING SQUABBLE
WILLA’S POV“Mommy, when is Daddy going to come and visit us? It’s been forever,” Calisto whined, laying himself across my abdomen, making us form a crooked cross on my bed, which the twins had decided should retain its needlessly enormous size.“It’s only been two weeks,” I said, reaching down to pat Calisto’s stomach in comfort.“It’s been forever,” he insisted. “Why does he have to leave anyway? He’s our dad! He’s ours.”“Yes,” I said slowly, trying to get him off of me as gently as I could. He obligingly budged, wiggling and sliding off my stomach until only his head remained perched on it. “But he is not just your Daddy. He’s also the Alpha King’s son, and he’s-”“Wait! Really?!” Calisto exclaimed excitedly, jumping up into a sitting position. “Daddy’s the Alpha King’s son?! Does that mean the Alpha King is our Grandpa?”“We can’t call him Grandpa, Cal.” Gillian chimed in from where she was lying on her back on the floor—a penchant that stubbornly remained unchanged no matter my
