FATED TO A TYRANT PROPER ARRANGEMENTS
GALLAHAN’S POV“That is not a problem for me,” I said carefully, keeping my voice even and my face passive to try and hide my glee over the fact that after six fucking long years, my bond with Willa would finally be complete. “The person you should be talking to now is Willa. She loathes me with burning passion, so… I believe it’s her who needs to be sat down with and be talked to. I highly doubt she will agree.”Bullcrap.I was certain Willa had already agreed. As a mother, there was no way she wouldn’t swallow her pride for the sake of our children. Greggory Alfiero wouldn’t also have brought this up if he knew his own granddaughter didn’t consent.“Willa has already agreed,” Greggory replied, levelling me with his gaze that was slightly unnerving in its shrewdness. “She is willing to do whatever is necessary for Calisto and Gillian.”“Then all is well.”“Indeed,” he said slowly, his eyes still studying my face as if trying to decipher the thoughts and emotions that lay beneath my c
Last Updated : 2025-01-24FATED TO A TYRANT CONSENT
WILLA’S POVHearing the words straight from Gallahan’s mouth had my heart quickly dropping to my feet. My mouth suddenly tasted like ash, and coherence seemed to have been eviscerated out of my brain, so the best response I was able to stammer out was a mildly panicked, “B-but… But you’ve already agreed to do this.”Gallahan’s eyes were fixed on me, his gaze appearing to be calculating and careful. After a beat of silence, he said, “I did. I’m not too sure you do, though. You look like you would rather drop dead than complete the bond with me.”“That’s not it!” I said too quickly, my voice loud and high-pitched.Gallahan’s brows rose, making him look like he didn’t expect the immediate denial. He crossed his arms across his chest, then casually leaned his back against the closed door.“Miss Alfiero, you couldn’t even meet my eyes for longer than a second. You’re fidgeting as if you want to dislocate your own fingers. You’re not talking in the same way you usually do, and you also loo

WILLA’S POV Gallahan studied my face, his gaze intense and unreadable. He spent a few seconds just staring at me, unmoving against the closed door. To say it was unnerving would be a big understatement. The way he was looking at me made me want to squirm, as if his eyes were able to poke and prod at me with an incorporeal stick to make me unravel before him. Finally, he broke his silence and said, “You say that, but you don’t look and sound sure. Why don’t you just jump straight to the biting part?” My eyes fluttered close as I felt my ire starting to bubble in my blood. I inhaled deeply, trying to muster all my patience that I wasn’t sure I still had. After all, I was already emotionally wrung out from everything that transpired tonight. And so, I was far from surprised when I found myself still growing irate. “You told me yourself that we have no time to waste and that you've agreed to do this,” I said waspishly, opening my eyes to shoot him an annoyed glare. “But you’re

GALLAHAN’S POVI was truly at her mercy.Letting her lead and do things her way and at her own pace was maddening and was a fucking torture.But I had to do it.It was the only way I could think of that would help her relax and be comfortable with doing something so intimate with me.But fucking hell.It was so hard to reign myself in from taking over just to have a go at tasting and touching every inch of her body. There were simply a lot of sinful things I wanted to do to her and with her.And yet, I couldn’t.I still tried to enjoy what I was given at the moment, though.The way she kissed me, prodding her tongue in eagerly.The way her palms run along the expanse of my chest and abdomen.The way she unconsciously pressed herself down on my cock, her hips repeatedly making subtle forward and backward movements.And the way she just existed for me to marvel over.But then she suddenly stopped kissing me, leaving me feeling absolutely bereft and mildly confused.Then she got on her k
Last Updated : 2025-01-27FATED TO A TYRANT HATCHETS
WILLA’S POV I was sore, and it bloody ached to even walk. But I gritted my teeth and managed to do things I wanted to do. After all, I could be quite stubborn. I took a quick hot shower, cladded myself in my most comfortable set of plaid pajamas, and mechanically did my nightly routine. Right after, I prepared my bed for the nesting and neatly arranged the ceremonial robes of my family in a way that would cosily cocoon the twins. I moved and puttered about almost mechanically, yet everything I did was with a dogged purpose of making myself busy so I could chase away the humiliation from earlier that clung to me like a second skin. Then I went to give Calisto and Gillian a warm sponge bath and slipped them into their favorite sleepwear, before finally moving them to my room. I joined them on the king-size bed, lying down on my side beside Gillian and holding Calisto’s alarmingly cold hand. Wolf ears had sprouted on their heads and their once cute nails had morphed into litt
Last Updated : 2025-01-28FATED 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
Last Updated : 2025-01-30FATED TO A TYRANT MISSIVE FROM THE ALPHA KING
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

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
FATED TO A TYRANT PRIORITIES
GALLAHAN’S POVThe tension left me as soon as Willa’s words registered and sank in my mind, and I nearly slumped like a ragdoll on my chair from the sheer relief they brought.A light feeling I could only call joy swarmed my core and enveloped my chest tightly.It felt great.And honestly? I haven’t had a taste of such pure and adulterated happiness since Gillian first called me Daddy.So, as I moved based on nothing but my emotions like I usually did, I drew Willa into a kiss with a hand holding her jaw. But I couldn’t contain the smile that stretched on my lips, which only grew bigger when Calisto loudly cheered.“Yay! Yay!”I broke the kiss, affectionately bumping my nose against Willa’s before completely pulling away.A hint of uncertainty laid beneath the apparent fond softness that lined Willa’s face. It was like a quiet plea, asking me to prove to her that her decision was right, to never make her regret it.She didn’t have to ask for it, though.There wasn’t a chance I would a
FATED TO A TYRANT RIGHT CALL
WILLA’S POVThere had been times when my children’s questions had left me speechless. There had also been times when I simply didn’t know the answer.This time, it was both, and it seemed like I had lost my voice as soon as Gillian threw her question.But even if I could speak, I still wouldn’t know what to say anyway. Words were quickly slipping out of my mind, and those I could grasp didn’t weave into a coherent answer.Because really… How did one explain something so complicated and so difficult to a pair of young children without confusing them or hurting them?But I knew I had to give Gillian an answer, so I cleared my throat, hoping it would remind me how to make my voice box work again. Then, I spoke, regardless of the fact that my mind was still floundering for the right words to say.“I think,” I started, but I ended up pausing, my tongue flicking out to wet my lips. “I think everything your Daddy has done to humans is very bad and… and difficult to forgive or look past.”An
FATED TO A TYRANT GLOSSING OVER
GALLAHAN’S POVI had never once doubted, much less regretted, all my choices and actions when it came to the war that erupted from my path of vengeance against humans. Not even when I met Willa.I had stood firm back then. I hadn’t even faltered about my stance even after I met her again. Sure, I had put an end to it to have a chance to be together, but I had made sure that my cause remained intact. That the conditions agreed during the parley were still completely aligned with my convictions.But now…Staring back at Calisto’s innocent eyes that reflected his pure, untainted soul… It made me uncomfortable. Like my skin was no longer my own. Like my rib cage had shrunken into a size that could no longer house my lungs. Like my heart was alarmingly slowing down while my blood rushed like an angry river in my veins.It was… odd, and I hated it.The discomfort even left an acrid taste in my mouth, but it didn’t really hinder me from answering Calisto’s question.“Because… I was hurt, Cal
FATED TO A TYRANT THE WAR
WILLA’S POVThe way Gallahan’s face fell upon hearing Gillian’s answer would’ve been comical if not for the way his eyes clearly dimmed as if life had been sucked out of him in a blink of an eye.In the next heartbeat, though, his body was taut as a bowstring, his anger visible in the lines of his frame. His bluish gray eyes were stormy with thinly veiled emotions.Knowing how he didn’t have the best command over his own emotions, I felt somewhat proud how he hadn’t snapped and raged about how William had slung mud onto his image and name to Gillian.I had half expected him to immediately bombard Gillian with questions, demanding to know what William had said about the matter exactly. The other half thought that he would defensively deny and call William a liar and all other colorful names he could probably think of in a fit of fury.But he did neither.Perhaps he had learned a valuable lesson of restraint after making Gillian cry the last time. It soothed my lingering upset and anger
