"I will fucking kill you!" Kendrick growled at Jackson as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Faith. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn't believe that Kendrick came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn't be dying or be going with Jackson. She knew Kendrick won't let that happen in a million years. She didn't know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!"Don't interfere here, Kendrick. It's none of your business!" Jackson growled at Kendrick after getting up from the ground. He tried to take a step toward them but Kendrick's one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That's the power he held. Even Jackson's warriors weren't brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? It ran away already."How dare you say that to me?!
"Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!" Kendrick's loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building. But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain. But he wasn't feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn't feel it even a little bit. The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn't bear to look at Faith, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won't be able to forgive himself if something happens to her. Heck, he would die! What's happening to him?!"Oh my god, king. She is in a very bad state. It's going to be hard saving her." The doctor said immediately after he saw the state of Faith. She was almost dead. Her heartbeat was hardly there. She was breathing very slowly as well
Kendrick held Faith's small and cold hand tightly in his large fist while looking at her carefully. Her face was filled with different wounds and cuts. He slowly and shakily raised his hands and touched her face delicately as if she would break down any moment. And all the places he was touching, the marks were vanishing into thin air. The power of mate bond…"W…Echo… Echo… Echo…" He immediately pulled his hands away when he heard her coming back to consciousness. He was shocked to see her coming back to consciousness so fast. And he was more astonished seeing her calling for her daughter for the first time after coming back to consciousness from such a big accident. Maybe it was just her strong motherly instinct…She opened her eyes and groaned in pain when she went to sit up abruptly. "Careful! Don't move so fast. You are going to open up your wounds." He warned while holding her hands. She looked at him confused first and then in anger before she pushed him away with a hard pus
(All the previous chapters have been edited. Please refresh and read them. Thank you.)"What is it, Selena? I don't have time for this." Kendrick asked in a blank tone as soon as they were inside his office room, in the palace. He didn't look at her. He just wanted to get over this as soon as possible. "How? How could you do this to me? I didn't expect this from you." Selena exclaimed while crying as she walked toward her and stood in front of him, forcing him to look at her. "What are you talking about, Selena?" He stepped away from her while still not looking at her and it frustrated her beyond limit. She went near him once and clutched his collar and made him look at him. He didn't like that at all but didn't say anything at that moment."You really don't know what I am talking about? Seriously? Now this is how we are going to do this?" She shouted while shaking him by the collar. He gritted his teeth and tried to act calmly and patiently while dealing with this matter. "Selena,
"Steven, where were you?" Kendrick exclaimed, his frustration evident in his furrowed brows and the sharp edge to his voice. As soon as he spotted his younger brother entering the palace, urgency surged through his entire being. He hadn't expected Steven to be out at this late hour, and the sight only added to his mounting concern.Steven met Kendrick's gaze, mirroring his frown and displaying a mix of weariness and apprehension. The weight of their unspoken worries hung in the air, visible in the creases that formed between Steven's brows."I had some work," Steven responded, his voice tinged with defensiveness, though he averted his gaze, unable to hold Kendrick's piercing stare. The words held a hint of unspoken meaning, hinting at the burdens he carried."This late at night?" Kendrick raised an eyebrow, his frustration giving way to a genuine concern that lurked beneath the surface."Yes, it's nothing important," Steven replied, his tone flat and distant, as if trying to distance
"Faith!" Kendrick burst into the room, his footsteps echoing with urgency. His heart raced, pounding against his chest as he scanned the room, his brow furrowing with worry. The sight of three people restraining Faith fueled his growing sense of alarm, and he felt a knot of dread tightening in his stomach."Kendrick!" Faith's voice cut through the chaotic scene, and the moment their eyes locked, the others released their grip on her. She rushed toward him, seeking solace and safety in his embrace. Kendrick's arms wrapped around her without a second thought, pulling her close and holding her tightly. As he held her, his heart hammered against his ribcage, the racing beats reflecting the worst-case scenarios that raced through his mind."What happened? Are you hurt? Are you in pain? Why did you shout?" Kendrick's words spilled out in a torrent of concern, his voice tinged with fear. He examined Faith's face and body with meticulous care, desperately searching for any signs of injury. Rel
THE NEXT MORNINGFaith woke up with the sound of a bird chirping and the bright sunlight coming from the open window made her go blind. Who opened the window? She remembers it being closed last night. She slowly sat up by leaning against the headboard. Was it Kendrick? She was back in Kendrick's room. She looked around to find the sight of him and found the room empty. She frowned a little seeing that. As far as she remembers, he was here till the end of the night. She woke up once again at night and found him sleeping beside her. He was sitting down but his head was kneeled down beside him, on the bed. She was lost at that moment, just like she is lost now. She didn't know what to feel at that moment. She didn't know what to feel toward the situation, toward everyone and toward... Kendrick. She was in confusion and in defense. The defense was to save herself from feeling something stupid. She remembers her past and how much he loved her but at the same time, years later, he didn
"Shh! Shh! Calm down, calm down. Everything is okay. Everything is alright. Calm down." Kendrick whispered in a soothing tone as he pulled back from the kiss and pressed her head on his chest. She was slowly calming down with the rhythm of his heartbeat. But she was still breathing hard but she was back from the previous state which almost took Selena's life. Her eyes widened as soon as she realised what was happening and she jerked away from him. She looked around in confusion and a small panic settled inside her. But before it could consume her completely, he clutched her shoulders again and made her look at him. He had a serious look on his face as he looked down at her intensely. "Wh... what just happened? Wh... what's going on?" She asked in shock and confusion. She could still feel the previous changes in her body and it was scary for her. "Nothing. Everything is fine. Don't worry. Calm down." Kendrick said in an assuring tone but she wasn't having it. She frowned at him dee
