Tyler’s POVI spat it out immediately the liquid touched my tongue, and the Scotch I drank suddenly tasted sour and bitter in my mouth. The last time I felt like this, so tensed and burdened was on the night Liam had killed Roseline. I hadn’t been able to sleep a wink, it had been pure torture that night and I felt the same way now, but why? That was the question, why did I feel this way all of a sudden? It wasn’t just guilt, it was a feeling of impending doom, an omen, yes, that was it, an omen. And something told me deep within that I wasn’t ready for what was coming and that was what frightened me more. I sat on the edge of the bed and while I was lost in deep thoughts, two arms circled my body and held me close. I felt her warm breasts pressing against my back as she leaned in and kissed my neck, it was Lina, my wife. We got married about eight months ago and things were moving pretty smoothly between both of us. She was an absolute gem, endowed with a voluptuous figure that c
Liam's POV Tyler’s words before he came to visit again had struck a note in my head, did he think everything that was happening now was because of what had happened two years ago? That was quite superstitious of him, the life of one person couldn’t bring so much torture. The Alpha Kings before me had killed hundreds of people to conquer territories and seize the powers I held in my hands now, so why would the life of a mere slave affect me greatly? I felt remorse towards the way I had killed Roseline and her family and it was a past I tried to bury. An old me, as they say, I tried to not just hide, but also terminate for good. But now, I felt it coming back, the evil I had once basked in was clothing me yet again. Maybe it was the presence of someone that brought back the evil in me. I tried to fight it, I still had a chance, it hadn’t taken complete control over me.I didn’t take the harsh and disrespectful manner Tyler had spoken to me to heart, at least not now. At that moment, I
Roseline’s Pov “Here, take this, remember in the next five hours, you have to take your medication or else you might just faint,” Anna said as I was about to leave.I collected the bottle of colorless liquid from her and asked, “Isn’t this the same medication that put me to sleep?”She shook her head, “No, this is for your bones and energy, you haven’t fully recovered so you have to depend on this for now.” She replied.The journey was a four hour's drive and I had never been more bored. My reborn father took his time and told me everything about the deal with Tyler and Liam, although it was boring, in the end, something struck me.“You could have just gone on a vacation to clear your mind instead of following me on this business trip. You didn’t have anything to worry about though.” He said as the luxurious limousine we were in eased out of the garage.“I was curious about how we had all this wealth so I wanted to experience what a business meeting was like. Anna said there was an u
Tyler’s POV“Oh shit!” I exclaimed as I watched her walk away, immediately she disappeared into the crowd of guards that had accompanied her and her…her father? It made no sense, none of it did, Roseline? Why was she dead? How did she have a new father? Was she adopted or something? Did she find a way to survive and now, two years later she had come back to exact her revenge? It was all crazy and I suddenly felt giddy, I felt beads of perspiration on my forehead and my neck, my palms had already started sweating. This was it, the feeling of impending doom, it couldn’t get worse than this. It was the most unexpected thing, the last thing I had expected to happen.Lina came to me but I wasn’t even aware of her presence until she shook me slightly.“Tyler? Are you alright? It’s like you were in a trance or something.” She asked with a worried look on her face.I looked at her beautiful face, she was a very lovely woman and none of that charm of hers had dimmed. I feared for her all of a
Roseline’s pov I woke up the next day with a sharp headache and I closed my eyes again. What had happened? Why did I suddenly black out again? I opened my eyes again and looked around, it was the same room, my new room. I groaned as I tried to sit up and Anna rushed to me from a couch, there was a frown plastered on her face even as she helped me up.“Anna, what happened?” I asked, the pain was beginning to subside.Anna shook her head and said, “What’s wrong with you? You never take your health seriously and you’ve never listened. I told you to take your drugs after five hours but you didn’t. That was why you blacked out, the doctor just injected the drugs into you a few hours ago again. You had everyone worried, my goodness!” She exclaimed and it was only then that I remembered the drugs.There was no way I could have remembered that with everything that was going on in my head, absolutely no way. “I’m sorry, don’t be mad at me. I feel perfectly okay though.” I lied, flashing a smi
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
