Tyler’s POV A day passed, then two, and nothing happened, that made me doubt if anything was going to happen. But I couldn’t be all that dumb, she had said it herself that she was coming, her words registered in my head and it was all I thought about. Lina noticed my restlessness and addressed it multiple times. “Seriously Tyler, you’re beginning to make me very worried, why are your eyes so alert and red? What are you even looking at?” She asked once, I had been staring out of the window in the evening, gazing at the sky and wondering what it held for me beyond. “Are you in some kind of trouble or danger? Is someone coming for you? Common talk to me.”I stared at her, her large, beautiful eyes held genuine concern and slight panic. I couldn’t get her involved in my despicable past, what I needed to do was keep her safe instead.“It’s nothing, Lina. A man who holds a position as exalted as mine is bound to wander off in his thoughts about the city.” I lied, from her impassive react
Roseline’s POVA satisfied smile crossed my lips as we approached the borders of Liam’s cursed city and I saw the crowd lying in wait for us. Cyrus stared at me and I nodded approvingly, I couldn’t wait, my blood was boiling.“I think you should rethink this, Roseline.” My wolf said with a worried voice. “I don’t have a good feeling about it, seriously.”I grunted, “I’ve come too far, Rayana, I’m so close, you think I’ll go back now? No way. I was reborn without the word forgiveness in my dictionary, this was the reason for my reincarnation, don’t you understand? This is the only purpose I live for now, to humble those horrible men and bring them down to the ashes! Are you going to help me or desert me, Rayana? I need you now more than ever, please, just be on my side this time.”“I can never desert you, Roseline, no matter the decision you take. I’m with you.”Rayana replied and a flood of relief spread through me.I couldn’t do it without Rayana's help, wherever my strength failed, s
Liam’s povEven after a day, Tyler was still in shock and crying like a baby, at a point it got me upset and I went to meet him. He hadn’t been available, nor had he tried to contact me and every time I tried to, he wasn’t reachable. I wasn’t going to console him, I wasn’t very good at doing that.The first time I met Lina, I was thrilled by her liveliness and striking beauty. Truly Tyler had found a gem of a woman with a golden character and an intriguing sense of humor. Her death shook me slightly, but not at that moment she had died. She wasn’t supposed to have died, the force with which Roseline had stricken her was so impactful that it had almost split Lina in half. That blow had been meant for Tyler, not her, she was supposed to be a widow and not Tyler, a widower. I didn’t bother knocking when I got to Tyler's apartment, I pushed the front door open. Immediately a maid rushed towards me and on sighting that it was me, a look of surprise spread across her face and she bowed ins
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
