AUTHOR’S POV“Summon everyone to the north wing ball room now!” Kaiden yelled as he made his way down the stairs with Elixir. Elixir’s eyes glazed as he ordered every maid, every manservant, everyone living in the palace to file out and assemble at the Northern Ring. “What are you going to do, Your Majesty?” Elixir asked. “Something I should have done a long time ago.” Kaiden responded and the both of them walked on in silence. As soon as Kaiden arrived, they all bowed and submitted to him. Some of them were shaking and others were about to pee themselves. Half and quarter of this population have never had the unlucky opportunity of facing the King, he was a monster and they knew that well, so they did all they could to avoid him. But now, they could feel his glare piercing through their bodies, aiming directly for their heart. To each one, it felt like he was there for them. “One of you has betrayed me.” He started very softly at first, and some people were immediately eased bec
KAIDEN’S POV“Release her.” The guards let her go immediately, taking two steps backwards. “Now are you ready to tell the truth?” I asked and she nodded, her hand raised shakily as she pointed towards another direction, into the crowd. “Be…Benita. It's Benita. She's the owner of the rose handkerchief.” She answered, her entire body still shaken. I looked up and saw a lady’s head poking out from the crowd, but as soon as she met my gaze, her eyes widened in horror and she ducked immediately, as if that was enough to hide her from me. I looked down at this, “Who is she to you?” “She's my…best friend.” She stammered. “So much for your friendship. She didn't even try to save you.” The maid in question looked like an innocent soul, the kind that would do anything for anyone close to them. Her actions proved so now. She was ready to die for her so-called best friend. Benita must have known and decided to exploit her. I want someone like this beside my woman. Someone that wouldn't th
AUTHOR’S POVKaiden’s eyes trailed Victor's movement as he reached for the doctor's breast pocket, pulling out a blue pen. “Victor, what are you doing?” “Protecting my fiance,” Victor replied to his father and signed the form. He walked up to the doctor, “Here, you have my consent. Do it.” Immediately, Kaiden’s eyes flashed red. He grabbed Victor by the collar, punched him square in the face twice, pulled the form from his hands, and threw him across the room so hard that his body made a human-shaped dent in the wall. Kaiden is breathing angrily as he glares at the form and the signature on it. What right does Victor have to sign away Odessa’s life like that? Not even he had that right; it was only Odysseus who could do that, and he wasn't here, so Kaiden would do everything in his power to protect his daughter. Even if he has to kill his son for it. Kaiden tore the paper in half, again and again, and again, before throwing the pieces into the air, allowing them to drop down lik
AUTHOR’S POVKaiden’s reason for not letting Odessa go to the hospital was because he was scared. No matter how much security he would put in place, those people would still get to her. “Alpha, please. We’re running out of time.” Ray pleaded. “Go and do the blood test. Come back for her once you've confirmed that their blood is compatible.” And with that, Kaiden turned around. He would need to put so many things in place before he would let Odessa go to the hospital. The first would be putting the entire palace on lockdown. No message goes in, no message goes out. “Let's go, Your Highness,” Ray said but Victor stopped him. “Before that, what were you and my father talking about?” Ray stopped and turned to look at the Prince, “I'm sorry, Alpha Prince but I'm not permitted to say.” “I'm going to be your next King. You should earn my trust now before I’m enthroned.” Victor said. Ray made a slight bow. “If I haven't earned your trust yet despite all I do for the Kingdom, then I'll
AUTHOR’S POVRay assigned a nurse to the Alpha King while everyone focused their attention on Odessa. She was impossible to hold down, her eyes were snapped shut tightly as she sobbed and begged for relief. “Please! Make it stop! Arghhhh!!!” She yelled. Her nails were digging into the sheets, tearing through them, and cutting into her palm. “What is happening to her?” Evelyn screamed as she watched Odessa in horror. This was not what she had been expecting when the King told her she'd be needed in the OR. What the hell were they doing to her? Almost immediately, Kaiden’s eyes snapped open and he jumped off from his bed, rushing towards Odessa. “Your Majesty! You can't get up yet!” A nurse yelled after him. No one knew that Kaiden had regained consciousness, well, except the nurse; every other person had their eyes on Odessa. “Move away,” Kaiden ordered weakly as he stumbled closer to Odessa’s bed. The doctors and residents in the OR flinched from the command that he issued. “Y
AUTHOR’S POVShe sat on the sharp curve of the moon, her hair long and white dancing according to the waves of the wind. Her white dress that wrapped around her body in form of light lacy tendrils flowed in the air as well. Her gaze was staring down at the chaos on earth minutes ago, bored out of her mind and system, but something interesting had caught her eye.A confused frown appeared on her forehead even though a small smile was on her lips and her eyes glinted with amusement. “What is he doing?” She asked, looking down at the figure. “Trying to gain your attention.” A transparent figure floated beside her. “Of course, I can see that. And he has gotten my attention, not that he never had it before. But why is he doing that?” Selene asked, her hand stretching out to point at the Kinng in the temple. “Well, what other way to grab an olympian’s attention other than disrespect?” The figure smiled, her gaze drifting over Kiaden as he smashed the entire temple with his sword. “At th
AUTHOR’S POVThe Generals of The Algarians, The Salideens, The Amalkeelites and The Hoardons all circled around the large table in the middle of the room. Each of them looked totally out of place. Baggy eyes, mud stained clothes, dried streaks of blood here and there, hair strands matted to the forehead with sweat. Today was not an easy day for them. Of course they won all the wars but the number of hours they had spent fighting, sleeping with their eyes open, scarcity of food resources and little to no water to drink because they were in the middle of the freaking desert. “Your Majesty, our men are becoming agitated by the minute. The lack of resources is dampening their morale and every day we worry that the outcome of the previous day would be different than the next.” The Chief General of Algaria spoke formally, his voice holding a little bit of tension and his face expressing his distress of the situation they were in.“Exactly, My King.” The General of Hoardon spoke out, agreei
AUTHOR’S POVThe King was right and his Beta General was wrong. Kaiden’s name had been the first thing Odessa called out for as she regained consciousness. When she’d asked after the King who had risked his life to save her, Odessa felt disappointed when she was told that he wasn’t in the hospital. At first, she’d thought he was too busy to come see her or was distancing himself again like she’d asked him to but she quickly realized that he wasn’t in the Kingdom at all. She asked Evelyn when she didn’t catch a sight of his shadow at all within three days of her recovery. If he was truly avoiding her, then Odessa thought he was doing a good job at it. Sadness filled her heart when she heard that he’d gone to war. Loneliness filled her soul for months as she waited for him to come back to her. Evelyn and Mitchell filled her in on the things that had happened in her absence, how her body had reacted on collecting the King’s blood, how the King broke down the temple. “I’m guessing th
