Tyler's POVI sat there for a while, just thinking and watching Liam walk away with his shoulders hunched. His face hadn’t glowered with anger, his voice hadn’t been harsh or scornful, it had been calm the whole time, and for some reason, it bothered me. It got me thinking when he didn’t react, I was used to him reacting. Even when I held his collar, he didn’t fight back or even push me away. When I shouted at him, he didn’t shout back. It was very strange of him, was he genuinely concerned?I didn’t think about it and just decided to relax for a while. Most of what he had said wasn’t wrong, Lina would have still been alive if I hadn’t moved out of the way. She would have still been alive if I hadn’t deserted Roseline completely and turned my back on her. My Lina would have still been alive if I hadn’t been so forgetful if I had killed Roseline earlier.“Fuck!” I exclaimed aloud. This was driving me nuts. “Marla!” I called and the maid rushed in. “Whiskey, ice, make it on the rocks, n
Tyler’s POVI didn’t know how I felt about meeting Roseline again, the woman who had slain one of the people I loved the most. She had put everything into that strike, it was me who was supposed to be split in half. I cringed as I stepped into the hallway, Roseline’s anger was dangerous and fierce and it had cost me in a very painful way. I got the feeling that it was just the beginning, but I didn’t tell Liam that, he would only laugh it off.“You there, come over here,” I called a guard and he walked towards me and bowed. “Lead me to the dungeon.”For a split second, there was hesitation in his eyes but then he walked in front of me and led me to the extreme end of the hallway. To the left, there was a metal door I had never seen before. He pushed it open and all I saw beyond was darkness, he lit a torch and we headed down stairs made of stone, not tiled like the rest of the house. It was like we were in a completely different place, the whole place was dark apart from the torch and
Tyler’s POV“Oh shit, see that look in his eyes, Tyler, we’re fucked. If you thought leaving Roseline in that state wasn’t bad enough, what the hell are you going to call this?” My wolf remarked, I could detect the panic and fear in his voice.Liam had been so dumb to lock her up, why? Didn’t he see this coming? How was I supposed to tell Liam or even tell Roseline’s father that his daughter was in a cold cell, in a dark dungeon, gasping for air while seemingly losing consciousness? I looked at Liam, his face was set impassively and his eyes gleamed like crystals, what was going on in his mind? Better still, what was going on in the mind of Roseline’s father? My thoughts wandered off to countless wild possibilities, I was already sweating before I had the guts to take another step forward.“There he is, the Beta king of this city, Tyler, right?” Roseline’s father asked and all eyes turned and settled on me.I was so tense and I struggled to keep my voice calm, one wrong step and poof,
Roseline’s povThere was no doubt in my mind that my father would have already started a search for me, it wouldn’t be a difficult task to find me. The fallen battalion he had assigned to me would make it easier, I felt really bad, I had taken an army and had all of them slayed. That was my only regret, I had dragged a young commander and his whole army to their death. If I had died alone or got captured without the whole battalion being wiped out, it would have been a completely different case. The night I was imprisoned, I had cried bitterly, but not for myself, not for the dark and scary cell I had been locked up in, but for my fallen army. It was a burden of guilt in my heart and it would remain so for a very long time.Before I had left the mansion, Anna had rushed towards me with a small sac in her hand, before she got to me, I already knew she was going to scold me from the look in her eyes. I had braced myself with a knowing smile on my face.“I won’t even start to talk about
Roseline’s povI struggled to my feet and when Tyler tried to help me, I slapped his hand away. He tried to assist me again and I still slapped his hand away.“Let me be, don’t you dare touch me with those dirty hands of yours.” I snapped, glaring at him with disgust.When I looked at Liam, a sadistic smile formed on my lips and I stared into his eyes drowsily.“You killed Cyrus, he was my favorite of them all, actually that was the commander of the first battalion I had ever led. You must feel like you’re something, isn’t that the case?” I asked, but he remained silent. “If it was how it had been before you killed me the first time, I would have spent weeks or even months here, but now look at you. You’re frightened, wondering if I was still alive.” I walked closer to him until I was only a meter or so away from him. “Things have changed.”“I haven’t.” He said flatly, not tearing his eyes away from the gaze.“You will,” I said matter-of-factly, in a voice thick with contempt. “That w
Roseline’s povWhen I woke up, it was the only thing I thought about for hours, it reverberated in my head. The exact words of the goddess, I was going to be an ultimate ruler. I couldn’t doubt the words of the goddess, all I wanted to see was how it would all play out. Surely someone else must have been ordained to be the queen of the Immortal Carnage, the moon goddess had mentioned that it was supposed to be Anna. But with my reincarnation, it was my place now.I couldn’t wait, with such powers, I could wipe Liam and Tyler out in an hour without even having to do a thing. The supreme ruler of the Immortal Carnage meant ruling over the entire werewolf nation. A smile played on my lips, a smile that held the satisfaction and excitement sizzling in me.But what did the words of the Moon Goddess mean? What did she mean by a test of my wisdom and spirit when I had the feeling of power? I pondered on it for a long time but I couldn’t come to a reasonable conclusion or even a conjecture. I
Roseline’s POVI pictured it in my head, exactly the way the moon goddess had said it and I saw everything falling into place. I couldn’t understand why Anna was so tense and sad about it though. Although she would disappoint our father and probably most of the people in our pack, it was still up to her, she was supposed to have the final say, wasn’t she?“Anna.” The moment I called her name, she burst into tears and I had to bring her down to sit next to me, then I gently stroked her hair. “I don’t think it’s something you should be this sad about,” I said.She looked up with red eyes and said, “How could you be this ignorant, Roseline?” She asked and I was very confused by her question.“What do you mean?” I asked, it was as though I had uttered a blasphemy or something.“Dad will be furious, everyone in the pack will be furious. No one has ever turned down the position of the queen of the immortal Carnage, I’ll be antagonized in this pack where I’m so loved.” She said, sobbing hyst
Tyler’s POVI was badly shaken by the whole turnaround of events, Liam had messed us up pretty badly and I didn’t mind saying it to his face in the sour mood I was in. A lot of things should have been considered, such as the deal, how much power Roseline’s father held, and the safety of our city. After they had left, Liam retreated to his apartment and didn’t come out for the rest of the day, I was so pissed, I headed home.I was greeted by a suffocating loneliness, everywhere I turned and touched, Lina was there. It was so intoxicating, the staff in the house must have felt it too. I gathered all of them later that evening and gave them an indefinite break.“You can all leave, do not come back until I tell you to,” I said. It was a brief meeting and they all nodded and went their separate ways.I couldn’t sleep here, not like this. I packed a few things, locked everything up, and headed to my mother’s place where she was with my sisters.“A pleasant surprise, son.” My mother said as
