Killian's POV" Where is she?" The men before me shivered at the dangerous tone of my voice " If you tell me now, I might reconsider ripping all of you to shreds!"" Y..Your Majesty, The Prince demanded that we let her go. We informed him that..."" Asher? " My hands curled into a fist by my side. I should have known that bastard would have something to do with this. But the fact that he dared to go against my orders, and even make my men disobey me made my blood boil. He might be my brother but he had no power whatsoever to do what he did. I was the Fucking King! My words were law. I glared at the men who cowered at my feet, " Report yourselves to the Dungeons. I will deal with you all later "" Yes "* * *" What the hell did you do?"" Why do you seem so angry? take a seat, let's have a drink together. it's been so long since we spent some time together, don't you think so?"If there was one thing Asher enjoyed more than making trouble in my kingdom, it was making a scene. He alway
Killian's POVI stood outside Kir's chambers, contemplating whether or not I should go in. Would he even be willing to help me after everything I'd put him through? I ensured he was treated less than a slave in the palace, simply because I was afraid and jealous of the kind of relationship he had with Lucille. At that time I had thought Lucille was cheating on me, though I never confronted her directly and took out all my anger on her brother.So there was a high chance he might turn me down. But then again, he was living in my kingdom, my palace, which meant he was merely another one of my servants. He had no mind of his own and he was expected to do everything say. I was his king. Even if he didn't wish to help me, I would force him into doing it. All I needed him to do was beg Lucille on my behalf, once she forgave me enough to listen to what I had to say, then I wouldn't have any use for Kir anymore. Perhaps I might even send him out of the palace.' You were worried that she was
Killian's POVElisa was beautiful, with her caramel skin tone, doe eyes, and pouty lips, she had a sort of innocence that made every man who looked upon her want to devote his life to protecting her. Even if her scent hadn't been so damn Irresistible, I would still find it hard to not be attracted to her. She was just my type of woman, kind, docile, and very caring. Unlike Lucille, she didn't prioritise material wealth over everything else. She wasn't with me because I was the Alpha king but simply because she was attracted to me as well. She was what I had dreamt about while I was younger, a mate who would put me first. It was no wonder Rapheal had bonded so well with her from the moment I saw her.However, I would have never thought that the woman who gave me sleeveless nights, the same I was willing to put my relationship with my mate on the line for, was none other than the brother-in-law I despised. I should have seen the similarities, how blind was I then?" Did you have fun lyi
Killian's POV" Killian please, let me explain "" It's quite ironic how reversed how cases are within just a few hours. Earlier I was the one begging you to listen to me, I kept apologising thinking I was a scumbag who had cheated on my mate. And all along you have been keeping such a secret from me "" You did cheat on me! You can't deny that. And I never meant to lie to you about Kira, I just didn't want to have her come to the palace and Steal you away from me"" How can she steal me away? We are mates Lucille, we were destined by the Moon Goddess, that sort of bond is not easily broken "" And yet you still fucked her!! The only time she appeared as a woman and you couldn't keep your dick in your pants!! I might have lied to you, but at least I never betrayed you. And why is Kira so damn important that you are concerned about her now? You've already fucked her, what else do you want?!"My gaze narrowed on her. For the first time since I met Lucille, I was seeing a dark side to he
Lucille's POV" Are you threatening me?" He had that look in his eyes that I had only seen directed at other people. Till this moment, I never thought that Killian would treat me like I was mere filthy beneath his feet. I was already regretting what I said, but I had no choice here, I had to do whatever it takes to keep him, even if it meant using uncanny methods." No, that's not what I mean, I was just saying that..."" If I go back to your sister, you will tell the whole kingdom about me cheating on you " Killian scowls, obviously he wasn't stupid to not get the implication of my words. " You know what Lucille? Do whatever the fuck you want. But be prepared to get the fuck out of my palace. And don't ever think of coming back "" You...really are breaking up with me? What about our bond? What about us being mates? You are suppose to love me and not Kira "" Perhaps we were never mates in the first place. Maybe this was all a big mistake. I might have chosen you by accident, it does
Asher's POV" It's my sister, I want her dead "" No "" What the hell do you mean no?"" I already told you the moment I agreed to help, you won't lay a finger on Kira "" Why do you even care what happens to her? It's not like she's your mate, she doesn't mean anything to you!! Unless..was the sex really that good that you would throw away your pride and dignity?!"This damn woman was testing my patience. Lucille Moonshine was an eyesore, from the moment I saw her I knew she was going to be trouble. She was a selfish and conceited peasant who had somehow found herself at the top of the food chain, there were so many ways she could have manipulated her position to aid her stay in the Kingdom. I felt more disappointed in the fact that she had failed to achieve such a small task, if she planned on deceiving Killian to believe she was his mate, why the hell would she bring his real mate along with her.It didn't make any sense. Did she think Killian was stupid or she really believed she
Kira's POVKillian doesn't let me go out, not since he found out that Elisa and I were the same person. I suspected that something like this would happen, which was why I was ready to carry that secret to my grave. I had been foolish enough to have sex with him despite knowing that the circumstances that would follow were grave. I was just hoping to get a taste of what it felt like to have someone care about me. But Killian hadn't been after me, he had been after my body and scent all this time. And with time he would eventually get over his lust, and I would be cast to the side.Worst-case scenario, he would send me back to my pack and my parents would end up killing me. I was sure Lucille must have told them about what happened already, I'm surprised my father hadn't come to the kingdom yet.I spent the better part of my day laying in bed, I didn't cry anymore, I'd shed too many tears. The only person I ever saw for the past three days was the maid who brought me food. She was kind
" My father returned, he brought with him a beautiful woman who he claimed was his mate. He announced this to the entire kingdom, and soon there were demands that my mother be stripped of her title of Luna because to them she wasn't the King's mate, the other woman was. Everything we do in this kingdom has to please the Moon Goddess. A king without a mate is believed to be unfavoured, and he would no doubt bring calamity to the rest of the Kingdom. Which was why I had almost lost my throne to Asher, because he had a mate and I didn't "I nodded at his words because honestly, I had nothing to say. Thankfully Killian wasn't expecting my sympathy, he continued with his story. " My mother was completely shattered. She tried begging my father to reconsider his decision to mate with the new woman. My father told her that he wouldn't take the title of Luna from her, however he needed to be with his mate. So he went on to marry this new woman, and Asher was born from the union. They never got
Asher's POVKira's recovery was slow. Even though I provided her with the best doctors in the whole kingdom, it seemed nothing could nurse her back to full health. A month later and she remained in the nursery where the Doctors could tend to her." She might hurt herself again " one of the doctors told me, he was the one I trusted most to take care of Kira. I would stay and look after her if I could, but I still had my duties as king to perform, now that things have gone out of hand with threats of a rogue pack protesting to dethrone me, I hardly had time to come see her " her problem is a mental one. I think the best Line action would be to get her a therapist so as to overcome her demons, she will heal better after that"I thank the doctor, but i have no idea how to tell him that the only person who could helpkira was unavialable. i hd no idea where my brother was, even though i tried to track him down, knowing his whereabouts might help with the guilt i felt. i didn't think I would
Sebastain couldn't wait to see Kira. He wanted to ensure she was alright and that their baby was healthy as well. The truth was, he was afraid Asher might try something stupid, such as terminating the pregnancy without his or Kira's knowledge. Afterall, he knew that Asher liked Kira as well, so he wouldn't want her carrying someone else's child. The man was a heartless bastard through and through. This might be an unplanned Pregnancy, but he had no right to try terminating.Sebastain honestly regretted not treating Kira better now. Perhaps if he had approached her in a better manner, they might have taken off on a good start, and perhaps she would have agreed to stay with him in his pack. It was too late now, what he had done to her was shitty, even if he regrets it it wouldn't make any difference. Buf Fuck was he looking forward to having a kid with her. It was nothing he had considered until this moment. The idea of having a kid thrilled him, if it was a girl he hoped she would take
Kira's POVThere is something wrong with me, I know it, and it's not only fever, Asher had done his best to cover whatever the issue was. I knew that the Doctor had examined me, and whatever he told Asher must have been important to have him acting like a shadow around me all the time. JHe basically stayed with me all day, sometimes he even brought his paperwork to my room to sort out. The only time he wasn't around me was when he had to attend court, but even those times he would put nearly a dozen guards outside my room and several maids to keep me company. It was like he was afraid I would run away or something.It's not like I had anywhere to run to. There is no pack in the entire kingdom that would take me in. They all knew I was Asher's little infatuation, and only those in the palace knew how cruel Asher was once you touched his stuff. He was a possessive asshole who was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goal. He had successfully taken the throne, now it seemed he w
" What the fuck did you say to me?!"" I said that you are the real Monster here! Even though you are a Beta!" Elena knows very well how much he hates being reminded of his identity. To Asher, this was his one weakness, the fact that he was a Beta while his brother who he loves with all his heart was an Alpha. When he hears Elena saying this, he doesn't hesitate to reach out and wring her by the neck. She started choking, and she struggled to set herself free" Here I am doing my best to let you live bitch! Yet you keep testing my patience. Do you think I won't kill you?"" W...what difference does it make "" Fuck He " He tosses her away and she falls to the group. Elena struggled to catch her breath" I see a dark cloud looming over you. Even if you have everything you want, you will never be happy! That's your destiny "" Well, since you are not the fucking priestess, I have no reason to listen to whatever shut you say! "Asher tells her to get lost and Elena is too frightened to d
Asher goes to see Kira, he intends to take her back to the pack. Now that he is certain that his brother wouldn't come back for her, he has no reason to leave her with Sebastian after knowing that his cousin was simply going to continue sleeping with her until he got tired of her and found something new to play with.What he did not expect was Sebastian unwilling to let her go. Asher doesn't know whether to feel amazed or simply irritated at Sebastian for refusing to let the woman go even as Asher promised to give him more women in exchange." What is this new infatuation? "" It's not an infatuation. I just feel very guilty letting her go after I...broke her"" What do you mean you broke her?" Asher asked with narrowed eyes. Sebastian gives him a nervous loom before leading him towards the room where Kira was kept. Asher could hardly recognize the woman when he saw her. His cousin had clearly done his best to keep her well taken off, because unlike the rest of his pets, Sebastian act
Sebastian rises to his feet and leaves the room. Only the sound of my cries echo through the empty room. My decision was already made, I could never see Killian die, however when I thought of how heartbroken he would be, it made me have cold feet. He has already lost the kingdom, and now he was going to think I abandoned him.Sebastian received word that Killian had found their whereabouts later that day. He had laughed out in delight as he dragged Kira to the border of the village where they would await Killian. At this point, Kira looked like a ghost of herself, she had cried so much that her eyes were puffy. She knew what was expected of her and while she wasn't looking forward to breaking Killian's heart, she knew she had no choice but to do as she was told." Aren't you excited? '' Sebatain whispered into her ears. His hands made their way around her waist and he drew her close to his chest. The bastard was getting aroused, and Kira wanted nothing more than to punch him on his st
Kira's POV" Good morning sleeping beauty?"Sebastian was kneeling by the side of my bed when I woke up. I was startled at the sight of him. " What is it?"" Aw, there's no need to act so grumpy. I am very happy today, so I figured I would treat you to some delicious food I prepared myself "' He's planning to poison me '" Don't give me that look " Sebastian always seemed to know exactly what I was thinking. " If I wanted to kill you, I would have simply fucked you to that. Now clean up quickly, I'll be waiting outside "I watched him leave with a disgusted expression etched on my face. I didn't want to entertain that bastard, but I also didn't want to make him angry. The last thing I would want was for him to try to rape me again. Groggily, I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to clean up, even though Sebastian had asked me to be quick, he didn't come to Check on me even as I took much more time than necessary to get ready. He was talking with his Beta when I walked out of
The Priestess doesn't say anything. Her stony gaze is fixed on me, I have never seen her like this before. Even though she was always a distant person, she had treated me with respect in the past, now it seemed she had lost every good feeling for me. The whole court was filled with silence, as I looked at the people in the room, none of them met my gaze. They kept their heads low, however I felt that they were scunning me. If they hadn't agreed to what the Priestess had to say, they would have objected.Even my father wasn't saying anything. A bitter laugh escaped me. " You had this all figured out, didn't you? Even my father was part of this "" Killian, I..."" I don't want to hear it " I glared at the man. " If you have no intention of standing by my side then don't bother giving me your useless excuses. What the fuck now! Priestess, do you intend on ruling the kingdom yourself? With all this bullshit you're spouting, one would think you would make a better king "" Not her " Asher
Killian's POVWe've been searching through the forest for hours, yet our search wasn't as successful as I would have liked it to be. We found some evidence that the Rogues had been here, not long ago even. Yet it wasn't enough to pinpoint where exactly they had gone next. I felt not frustrated and hopeful at the same time, it would only be a matter of time before I found Kira, but I had no idea what state she would be in. What if she had been taken advantage of? How would I ever be able to forgive myself for not protecting her?" Alpha, we need to return back to the palace for now, the council would like to at least be informed of how the sear is going. We can continue tomorrow "I nodded at the better. He was one of Liam's men and had specially been trained to fulfil my every command. I would have preferred it if we continued the search, but I couldn't be that ignorant of my men's wellbeing. They had been working all day and they needed rest. We drove back to the palace. The moment I
