Callox POVThe next morning I woke up in one of the guest rooms, my head felt heavy, probably from my intake of alcohol last night,I called in one of the servers for some hangover soup, before entering the cold shower, When I was done, I put on my clothes, and a server came in with a steaming hangover soup,I ate it with the bitter taste lingering in my mouth, after which I headed to check up on Rayell, we had a huge fight yesterday, and I felt really bad for being a jerk to her, most of the things I said, even though were my feelings was under the effects of the alcohol,For I would never have spoken that harshly to her, I strolled down the hall and straight to our room, I however was greeted with the sight of Liam, he looked disoriented and scared,“Good morning Sire”,“Is anything the matter?”, “It’s-, I believe your presence is needed at the trusted circle meeting, Sire”,I wanted to push on further, but I decided to leave it, better to check on Rayell and go answer it afterwa
Rayell POV I avoided talking to Callox for the next few days, I mostly locked myself in the room, I couldn’t face anyone, the servers who came to drop my meals and take care of the room, couldn’t hide their disgust and malice either, They didn’t even bother to address me like I was in the room, not that the disrespect bothered me…, I was used to way worse than that….,I just felt sad at the turnout of the events, I didn’t know which was more shocking…The fact that I found out who my molester was, or the fact that I was another pawn in Dustin’s scheme or the fact that Callox found out.., My pillow must be filled with so many tears…, as it was the only activity I did in the room..,Callox had been trying aimlessly to get in, but I refused to let him…, I didn’t know if I could face him…, The shame that he had also watched the video, where I was in another’s man arms…, And the fact that he’d risked his position because of me.., He’d been so close…, so close to losing it…, and If I
Callox POVAfter the interactions with Rayell, I went down to the dungeon, where all the crime perpetrators were kept…,Elijah was kept at the far end of the dungeon, it was dark and lacked the susceptible air needed..,I rolled my chair to the far end, Liam was already there, and he was beating the douchebag like he deserved,He’d pour a whole lot of wolfsbane on Elijah, to keep him weakened, And he poured at the interval of five minutes, I had instructed Liam to do so, to keep him in constant agony…,“Hello sunshine”, I drawled in sarcasm,Liam did his committal bow when he saw me,Elijah was a dripping mess, blood was covered in every part of his body, his wounds were opened and very sore,The wolfsbane kept him from being able to use his supernatural healing abilities, “Please let me go….”, Elijah begged,“Now why would I do that, I have barely started with you….”,He started crying, “I can't take this anymore, I’d do whatever you want…, whatever you wish…, just please stop… te
Rayell POVCallox words kept ringing in my head, as I stared at him dumbfounded…,He couldn’t possibly be serious, he couldn’t be thinking of…,“Why?”, it was the only words that could form in my mind,“I’m tired of the constant burdening of the crown on me, And I refuse to lose you to it”,“Since when has the crown been burdening, yes I know it’s difficult, but you love this, you love these people, you love taking care of them”,I tried reasoning some sense into his head,“And at what cost, till I lose you..?, no way”,“So you want to relinquish because of me?”,“I want to relinquish because I wish to protect you, you are all that matters”,“What about your people, your friends, don’t they matter? they need you, you are their rightful king”,“Not anymore, they all mocked and judged you, they didn’t even sympathize that you were just a victim, and you call them my people?”,I huffed out, as romantic as the idea of him wanting to sacrifice everything for me sounds, it was still pretty
Dustin POVI have finally been discharged from the royal infirmary, the head of the royal infirmary had noticed the wolfsbane and thankfully he’d stopped it,And so I was back to my room, healed and recovered, it’s been two days now, and I was still pondering on what Callox said,There hasn’t been any meeting with the trusted circle, meaning he hadn’t met them to relinquish his position,I wondered why and if he was just bluffing that day, He probably had to, for Callox cherished the crown, he wouldn’t just give it up, and not even for Rayell,I had been cooped up in my room, as I was trying to avoid Callox and his possible anger, I was also trying to avoid Elijah,But for some reason, I feel like he’s been held captive by Callox, it was something he could do, I just didn’t have any proof of the matter, for if I did I would be on to the trusted circle and telling them these,As it could cause great trouble for Callox, and I liked when he was in trouble,The rapt sound of a knock bro
Callox POVThe sight before me made my anger boil to the brim. I strolled my wheelchair towards Dustin, and I pushed him off Rayell.Who looked like a mess, with whimpers, tears, and bruises, especially over her face.The sight made my anger boil as I strolled the chair to Dustin, who lay on the floor; from the impact of my push on his body, I fell on the floor with ease, and I stayed on top of him. I began hitting him.And this time harder, blood oozed out from his already broken face; I kept hitting him.As the sight of Rayell's bruised face replayed in my head.I was about to land him the next blow when he used whatever strength he had to push me off him, then he stood off and ran away.Annoyed by what was going on, I tried to stand up and go after him.But the disadvantage of being crippled is that your legs don’t listen to you.I, however, crawled out in a hurry from the room; I went back to whatever guard could hear me.“Do not let him get away, do not, or you are all dead!!” I
Kai POVDustin looked frozen, and I smirked as I enjoyed his reactions.“How did he…, why didn’t he kill me…? What is going on?” his thoughts rang in my head.Sometimes, the abilities got annoying, especially when the recipients kept thinking nonstop.“I’m no monster. It’s why you are alive,” I answered him…,“Why did you keep me alive?”Smart…, he didn’t seem to buy my kindness, clever and a bit annoying cause I wanted his loyalty and worship.I wasn’t going to get any if he kept distrusting me. Well, I was just going to prove otherwise.“I need you…, and you need me more”,“I don’t buy it, and what could you possibly need me for?” his thoughts said again,“Wouldn’t you wanna be king? I got that information from your head, you want to rule, but your brother keeps being an obstacle, you even planned on meeting me to discuss a bargain, but you found out your brother tried to offer you a sacrifice, you got angry and tried to rape his girl..; he caught you, beat you to death…, and now yo
Dustin POVAfter I got settled in, I was taken to a much more private court. A table for two was placed in the middle, along with dinner foods.Kai was already sitting there, and now he’d put on some expensive-looking suit; I honestly wondered what his obsession with clothes was with him.Forgetting that he could hear my thoughts, he smiled at me, and I remember he must have heard everything.I took a seat. Some of his men stood at the far end of the court, but there were four of them while the lady who’d attended to me opened the covered food.The sit of delicious food greeted me; my throat salivated at the sight,“Dig in,” Kai said.And I began eating,Thankfully, he didn’t have any conversations until I finished the meal.He also ate a little, compared to me, though,His server girl took the dishes and left. She came back and replaced the dishes with bottles of wine,Which she poured out for the both of us.Kai raised the glass to cheer, and I clicked my glass with him,“Now to the
