And that thought alone could make others yelp in fear.I nodded but remained uneasy as I recalled discussing with Mr. K and what had happened. “I’m glad that he didn’t have any interest in the industry our royal family was in, or who knew what would unfold.”Shaking my head, I continued, “But that d

I raised my eyebrow and sarcastically replied to tease him, “Wow, thank you for the vote of confidence in me.”Albert laughed, warped his arm around me, and poked my nose. “You know that’s not what I meant. Kendrell is an old, scheming guy. I’m worried he’d do you wrong. That’s why I’m so glad that
Della’s POVAlbert was worried about me and wanted to go to the Moon Temple with me, but I refused. I’m not able to face him calmly before the confession was over.After I found various reasons to explain, he reluctantly gave in and told me to call him anytime if I needed anything.For a moment, I w
Della’s POVI hate it! I hate it all! I hate how my body was fucking responding to his teasing and how my heartbeat was going crazy at his touch.Though I was mentally and emotionally filled with anger toward him right now, my body seemed to have its own mind as it reacted to everything related to h
Della’s POVSomething inside me trembled at how close he was. Staring back at his eyes, that’s full of desire and dominance, pulled me into a trance of inner dilemma.A part of me wanted to swoon over at him and let him bring me to cloud nine again as he did last night, but the rational part of me k
His brows furrowed as if he was confused about my words.Does he think he could fool me? Not a chance!Before I came here, I knew as much as everything Sapphire could find out about him. I also learned that a long line of noble women wanted to sleep with him, but he entertained no one among them.At
Kylian’s POVI stared at Della’s retreating figure with helplessness, feeling hollow in my chest where she unknowingly reaped my heart out and left me bleeding.I sat in the chair in the room for who knows how long, just reflecting on all the pain I had caused her and the grave mistake I had made ye
‘Not while I’m here,’ I silently vowed to myself, feeling my heart clenched with pain.“Della!”I was jolted back into reality when I heard Albert’s booming voice echoing in my ears, paired with Aaden's hard tap on my shoulder.Blinking a couple of times, I was shocked by everything I was thinking a
Della’s POVThough I didn’t sleep well last night, I still woke up early and prepared everything I needed to visit the ruby mines.“Mommy!” Aaden ran toward me as soon as he saw me entering the dining room for breakfast.Instinctively, I bent down, caught him, and carried him in my arms. Pinching hi
Della’s POVFrustrated, I leaned back to my office chair and dropped the list of personnel files that Sapphire had gathered for the laboratory.I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down before I leaned on my table again, elbows on it, hands clasped togethe
Kylian’s POVI didn’t know when or how it started, but it had been like this for years. The name Flora had become like a stubborn splinter stuck in my heart. Every time I heard it, a sharp, burning irritation would curse through my being.Taking a deep breath, I turned around and sent him a sharp ga
She went silent for a while, and I saw her demeanor changing through the monitor.“Do you understand?” Henry pushed through.“Yes…”“Just escort them safely. That’s your sole purpose in meeting them,” he said sharply.“Yes, I’ve escorted them out safely–”Henry looked at me as if to see if I was alr
Kylian’s POVI went to the Shadow Hush, a secluded and under-bankruptcy bar I found, bought, and remodeled. Just as it’s name, it’s a well-hidden place and a perfect location to unveil secrets without fear of being discovered.Unbeknownst to them, it’s one of my critical information centers in Wakel
“You know, I’ve always wondered… what kind of history do you have with Mr. K? He’s not someone who takes notice of people easily,” she asked.Merely tilting my head and feigning mild amusement, I asked with a raised brow, “Shouldn’t you be asking him that question instead?”How would I know what’s g

My jaw tightened, and my hands curled into fists. Stepping forward, I replied in an icy voice, “Krendrell isn’t the manager of this place anymore, Mason. You should learn to restrain yourself before I report this disgusting behavior of yours to the Lycan Princess.”Unfazed, Mason hysterically laughe
