Rosalind's POV

I had been wrong about what I said about them becoming less vicious.

It was almost as though she had gotten more angry at the fact that I thought to dismiss the noble ladies.

I had only done so because I didn't want them watching her and Aunt Celia fighting themselves and throwing underhanded comments at each other.

What again had she said?

That women like me were unworthy to become Killian's mate, that the only thing we were suited for would be warming his bed.

Anger filled me up from the inside. Maybe because even now, the only thing that Killian and I shared was a physical relationship.

Something he had done out of his way to enforce this morning.

I had been the one to put down the rule the first time we were together but now it rubbed me wrong.

I would forever love Cillian but I wondered if his softening in my heart meant something else other than what I had seen it as before.

I blinked away the tears that sprung into my eyes.

"Women like me."

    Killian's POVIt had been purely by chance that I had wandered by the library at the time that Arthur had been questioning the librarian. His voice had been pitched low but the library was dead silent and between the resounding words and my kern hearing, I had heard every word that he said. The librarian had stuck to her story of not knowing what he was talking about save from guiding Rosalind to the book stack she was interested in. It was obvious that he was fishing for information that could potentially put Rosalind in trouble so that he could oust her from her rightful position. And how had he been able to do that? Because she was the one who had enabled that. I might have been able to overlook that if Rosalind hadn't been acting strange recently. She seemed distant and lost in thought at least half of the time. I wasn't the one acting jealous, she was the one acting weird. Admittedly, I was jealous. Jealous of the ease with which she related to Cillian. The way her eyes

    Cillian's POVWhen Killian told me that Aunt Celia wanted to see me, this was the last conversation I had envisioned us having. She looked at me, her dark eyes watchful and missing nothing. "Is there someone else?"Truth be told, I had assumed that Killian had been lying. He obviously wanted to speak with Rosalind in private. I trusted Rosalind but I didn't exactly like the fact that she had to sneak around with me, she could walk around freely with him. I blinked at Aunt Celia not knowing what to say to that. "What?"She narrowed her eyes almost suspiciously at me. "I'm talking about Adeline. Both of you were seeing each other when tlyoy were much younger, when I found out she won your flag, I thought you would be happy. That was true. She didn't know the true colors of Adeline as I did. She still thought of her as that naive girl that I had grown up with and it was only normal that my aunt would be baffled that I wanted to end things with her instead of building up our last

    Killian's POVAunty Lilly's face was expressionless."We need to talk about your fiancé."She looked me straight in the face as she spoke. Her eyes gleaming in the sunlight. She still looked twenty years younger than her actual age which I honestly couldn't recall anymore because it would be baffling even for a wolf with ultra slow aging."I'm listening." I was curious."I came here not long ago to talk to you about the benefit of having a noble as a wife and in no time I hear that you are already engaged. To an omega, no less." She cocked her perfectly carved brows at me.I sighed. I probably should have seen this one coming."Aunty Lily. If you heard that I was engaged, as you said, then you must also know that my fiancé was selected from the princess trials and not handpicked by anybody… anyone other than the goddess herself." I shrugged, playing it cool to see where this would lead.She scoffed."That damned competition was abhorred for a reason, my dear. I have no idea why the pr

    CILLIAN'S POVI was wrong, the cliff was higher than I thought. I saw it immediately I took the leap but it didn't matter, the fire was spreading. Before I landed more houses would have caught fire.There were a lot of people outside screaming, calling for help, staring, dreading. People were definitely trapped inside.The whoosh of air across my ears was enormous as I descended with the speed of a bullet. With my head down and body vertical, I kicked back and accelerated my body, falling even faster. I felt like a meteorite.There was no time. I analyzed the scene in seconds, deciding what strategy to use In order to make sure there was minimal damage to the people.I could see some of them emptying buckets of water on the fire to no avail.The blue house was the biggest of the three and it was where most of the people gathered."Somebody save my baby!" I heard a wolf scream in desperation and I knew exactly what to do.Moving my body a little to the right, I navigated smoothly to m

    ROSALIND'S POV"What did you say?" I asked the messenger in front of me, making sure I understood what he just announced to me. I felt the excitement in my blood rise by the second."Uhh… your brother in the infirmary, the healer says he is recovered.""Ahh." I squealed, unintentionally and dashed out of the room heading straight to see Bast. All the drama and twists I had gone through in my time here in the palace might have distracted me a bit but I was still hoping and praying to the goddess that Bast would respond positively to treatment.I rushed down the stairs hurriedly and my shoes made loud clicking sounds as I moved, causing more than a few heads to turn in my wake but I was far from bothered.The silk gown I had on seemed to be restricting my movements as I tried to go faster. I bent down and bundled the dress in my hands and kept on going.Bastien had been undergoing treatments for weeks. The instructions said that he was not to be disturbed. As much as I wanted to go to s

    PRIESTESS MALIA'S POVDanger was looming in the Southern Paw pack. I could feel it, I could sense it. Ever since the peace treaty was signed between werewolves and witches. Something had felt wrong, terribly wrong. But last week the feeling was so strong, I could literally taste the bad omen in the air. It smelt of smoke and burning thatch.I knew there was a fire outbreak down north before the news spread, before anyone was aware that anything was amiss. As high priestess, a part of me was fused with the pack, so I was usually privy to most of the activities going on in the pack, also delicate or sensitive information. Some things that should never be heard from anyone's lips. Most of the ministers would gladly pay to assassinate me because of the information they feared I had of them. They were right to fear because I was aware. But their doings weren't mine to share unless I was directly instructed. Regardless, my execution was well above their ability. Even the alpha of the pack

    CILLIAN'S POVThere wasn't really much I could do about the date Aunty Celia had set up for me. She was a mother to me, the least I could do was to take up her advice right?Oh well. Deep down, I knew exactly how this was going to end but it wouldn't hurt to do this even if it was just to please Aunty Celia.Every blind date I had ever gone on had the same pattern. The women tried way too hard. The dressing, the scents, the approach, the way they batted their eyes lids, thinking they would get a reaction from me or something.It was almost sad and usually frustrating. But I knew Aunty Celia. As far as she was concerned, I was the most eligible bachelor in the pack. A daughter of a noble had won the princess trials and was to be mated to me, but I had rejected her.I knew what she was trying to do.From the way she had suggested it, I knew she was beginning to have suspicions. She did raise me, so she was familiar with the way I behaved. If I flat out refused to go on this date, that

    ROSALIND'S POVAunty Lily had a sour look on her face as she looked me straight in the eye without blinking. I don't know if it was possible, but I got even more uncomfortable. Had she seen me sneaking in? That would be very bad."Aunty Lily." I bowed in respect. That was literally all I could think of doing at the moment, my mind was racing for things to say or at least things to save myself if she asked a deep question, which I was positive she would.The sour look on her face seemed to get even more sour. If that was even bloody possible."I'm not your aunty, you peasant. I'm aunt to the princes and nobody else. You're just… a peasant. There are not so many ways to describe you." She spat.I felt my face redden at her words. She had no respect for those she saw beneath her, and I was well beneath, probably the lowest. I swallowed hard."You haven't answered my question. Where are you coming from?" Her voice was icy now."I just went for a little walk, Aunty. I needed a little fresh

His eyes flashing menacingly at the older man.Arthur shook his head and sat back down. He glared at the high priestess who had her normal expressionless look on. He faced the elders.They too were short of words. "I love Rosalind, she is my mate and I will marry her." Cillian said unexpectedly and for a second, I thought I would scream out. My legs shook at those words. His sheer determination alone was so sexy.Cillian held my hand in his as a way of showing that no decision made there would stop him from doing what he wanted. I almost melted from his warm touch. It took everything in me to still keep my composure and just smile when he looked at me lovingly.Killian stepped forward as well.Dear Councilman, Rosalind is betrothed to me so there's not really much you can do. I intend to marry her and I will. Not just because she won

    CILLIAN'S POV She looked at me with hatred in her eyes when I walked in but said nothing.Her chains rattled. She was muttering something under her breath, a spell. But the chains neutralized everything. "What do you want?" She asked.I looked at her, at the chains and then at her palm. Suspicions were correct. I had seen the same mark on Rosa's palm earlier. A mark that appeared after she was taken by the rogues.I bent and grabbed Estella's hand."What are you…?"I brought out the silver dagger and slashed at the black mark in her palm.She winced in pain and cursed me but she was still in chains. Nothing happened. There were drops of blue blood before red blood oozed from the wound.I gave her a towel to stop the bleeding "Your days are numbered." I said.And without another word, I left the dungeon.ESTELLA'S POVThe pain from that silver cut still stung even after he left. He had broken the magical bond I formed with Rosalind to siphon her powers. I was so angry. How did he k

    CILLIAN'S POVAfter some time, the sapphire stopped glowing but it was already confirmed. Rosalind was one of them. I didn't know exactly how I was feeling. The elders were all looking at me, waiting for my input on what to do next.The law was clear. Wolves with magic were abominations, they were unstable, unpredictable and very dangerous. They always went rogue. They were threats. But this was Rosalind, my Rosalind. She couldn't hurt a fly. How the hell did she have magic and I didn't know all this time? I didn't sense it or anything. Was I that blind or did she just hide it so well?So many questions were floating in my mind. It was a mix of pain, betrayal, helplessness and anger. I did not know what to do. Rosalind stood before us with the now normal looking sapphire on the table, waiting for me to say something. The elders were still murmuring and having side talks.Councilman Arthur cleared his throat and decorum returned. I knew that whatever he was going to say would not be i

I had never been more powerless in my entire life.But I knew what to do. The key was the princess that they loved. The prophesied link. Irony and poetry mixed in one. It was so ironic that I didn't even know when I burst out laughing until I noticed that the noise had died down completely.My laughter usually had that effect on others. But to think of it, I was going to die but my niece whose magic I siphoned to do the things I did, gets to just watch and do nothing?That was insane. They needed to know how powerful she was. It was time for these pigs to know the real truth. It was time for them to hear it.I stole a glance at the prince. All the blood had disappeared from his face, his eyes were wide open, staring at me in disbelief. He would never believe me. I had to keep speaking. I was going to

    KILLIAN'S POVI didn't remember much from what happened before I got to the hospital.I had felt someone by my side throughout the period when I was unconscious, taking care of me, humming to themselves. Always quiet and caring. It was all a bit weird, I knew I was unconscious, and I knew I had to wake up, I just didn't seem to have enough strength to do so. I could feel people around me and I could vaguely hear what was going on around, like conversations and monitor beeps and footsteps. My wolf could detect people's presence but it just couldn't jolt me up.I tried everyday for what seemed like eternity but I couldn't, so I did the only thing I could;Wait.The time spent waiting gave me an avenue to think, to go through everything that had happened over and over again, to spend time with myself and try to see something I hadn't been able to before.I had tried to replay the events of the fight in my head but most of the time, it was all blurry and unclear. My own thoughts and memo

    CILLIAN'S POVI watched Killian fall face down. There was blood, and he wasn't moving.My chest caught fire and I went full primal again. The rage I felt was like none other. I combed through the enemies, crushing them in numbers. Estella was my target but she was surrounded by too many people.She opened a portal and disappeared into it. Oh no you don't. I leapt over the crowd and chased after her but the portal was already closing slowly. The witches swamped around me, attacking from all angles. Casting spells and poking me with weapons. My necklace glowed brighter and brighter.I couldn't take it anymore. I roared with everything in me and I felt a great surge of energy encapsulate me and then…Boom.There was a big blast. When I looked around, all the rogues were on the ground. Dead.I ran to that portal, it was almost closed but I could still get in.I turned and saw Killian, still in the same position and not moving. I looked at the portal again, and I jumped in. I grabbed the

    KILLIAN’S POV“This is wrong, your highnesses, you cannot lead a war from the frontlines. It is never done. As the only offsprings of your father, you are the heirs to the throne. It is just too risky!”Councilman Gordon kept on whining like a baby.“And if we refuse to heed your advice, are any of you going to stop us from fighting for our pack?”The silent murmurs came to a stop. The councilmen in the Great Hall, devoured by their selfish interests, were looking for a way to stop Cillian and I from leading the battle. Typical fools.“My prince, you just need to understand,” Arthur began in his sweet tongue.“I know that both of you are seasoned warriors and your prowess remains a thing of awe in Southern Paw, your father made sure of that. But if anything should happen to the heirs of the throne while fighting, even for the right cause, it will pose an enormous problem for the pack. That is what my councilmen are looking to avoid. Unless maybe one of you has a child that we are not

    CILLIAN’S POVI sat at the council meeting as we deliberated on the next step with the councilmen of the pack. It had been almost two days since Bast was taken and up till that point, there still had not been any development whatsoever on what to do. I wondered how Rosalind would be feeling. I started to fantasize but shook it off immediately. There were serious matters arising, I needed to focusAcross the long table from me was Killian. He just sat there with a straight face. Probably with his mind already made up for what he was going to do when the time was right. “...But they could harm the little boy, it's risky.” I heard Councilman Gabe say. Probably a reply to someone's comment. I was not paying full attention, my mind also was troubled with thoughts of what the high priestess had said before. Many things didn't make sense at this point.“That's true. Although it could just be a bluff, these creatures still have to be taken care of nonetheless.” Said Councilman Arthur.I coul

Twenty five, twenty seven years.” “I believe it's been about thirty years. You have set up the place quite nicely.” She commented, looking around.“I see you still wear your bracelet all the same and…”“I have come to talk, Estella.” She said cutting me short.“Not small talk, but real talk.”“Oh Malia.
