KILLIAN'S POVThe past few days have been amazing, I have grown to like Alex more and more as she engages in my activities with my maidens. She was not as useless and irrelevant as I thought. I was softening towards her, regardless of how I hated it I couldn't help but want her. It wasn't a bad thing because after all, she is my mate legally."Lord Killian, you sent for me," she said as she entered my chambers. "Yes Alex, come to the bed," I said as I was already lying down."Where are the others?" She asked, looking around in confusion."Today I crave just you," I said and this made her blush."Really?""Yes, really," I replied and she got on the bed.When we were done she went back to her room. Guard! "Guard!" I called out from my chambers. "Yes my Lord," one of them responded as he came to my chambers. "Is Sebastian back?""No, he isn't my Lord, would you want me to do anything in his stead?" The guard asked."Not at all, just inform me when he returns," I said to him and he nodded
ADOLF'S POVWe've traveled all morning and we don't seem to be getting anywhere."My king, I think we are headed in the wrong direction," Sigil said to me and I was shocked by his statement although I suspected it."What do you mean? I'm good with directions. Do you want to know what they called me back in the day?" I asked and without waiting for his response I continued. "The navigator, so what do you mean by the wrong direction?" I asked him."We have passed by this same tree with three markings like three times my king, I suppose we are going about in circles," he said and I looked around somewhat confused. "Oh really? My oh my,""Yes my king, I suggest we make use of the compass or map," Sigil said scratching his head"Okay, where's the compass," I asked and he looked at me as though he was confused."I'm not with it my king, who's with the compass?" He turned around asking the other men and apparently, there was no one with the compass."How are we going to locate East, if none o
JACK'S POVI still haven't recovered emotionally from the death of Valerie, she died after being attacked by wolves in the woods. Why was she out all alone? Was she pursued? I planned to go get her when I was better now she's gone and it's all my fault because I wasn't there to save her.I wasn't myself after hearing the news, although I was glad that it wasn't Valeria, the pain I felt would be a lot worse. That aside Valeria was still kidnapped and her stepbrother Brooke wasn't making things easy. He wants the throne. Power is indeed good but I see no reason why people chase after it resulting in taking drastic measures to attain it. It's a good thing that the king alongside Sigil had gone to go get her. I couldn't go because I'm not fully healed for battle.I sat there looking at Valerie's corpse as Matthew was the one who found her dead body in the woods. As a form of my last respect to her, I'll take her back to her hometown and give her a proper burial."Father, Mother, I'm leavi
SCARLETT'S POV"Vladimir, I don't see any signs that someone passed this trail, are you sure the heads and tails game we used in deciding which path to take was a good idea?" I said, whining in frustration. The weather was unusually hot and we had no horse traveling by foot this weather was equivalent to a death sentence, why weren't there horses in Donbule, even the one I brought with me when I came seemed to have disappeared into thin air."It is the right direction, and stop complaining already, unless you want me to start regretting asking to follow you in the first place," he answered slowly, swinging a little roll tied to a stone on his hands."Don't say that, why are you sounding that way aren't you as tired as I am? We've been traveling for hours now and no sign of life only a few birds have flown by, and it's making me wonder if we are actually on the right path,""We are so stop complaining already and put the energy into your legs and move faster," he said as he increased h
ADOLF'S POVMatthew grabbed the messenger by his throat when he was done talking and pulled out his sword. "Should I slit his throat open and feed him to the wild dogs?" he asked as held him still."No Matthew, withdraw your sword that would not be necessary. And they do not kill messengers," I said, making him loosen his grip."Thank you, my king, you're indeed kind," the messenger said."Do not flatter me, else you'll pay with your life," he gulped so loudly in fear and responded. , "Yes my king, I'm sorry,""You said it's Brooke that sent you here?" Yes, my king."That fool, he dared to threaten me and give me options. Why doesn't he come here and fight for the throne if he is a real man, as he claims to be not acting cowardly using his own sister's life as the bait? I do not have a response to Brooke's request, tell him to come and tell me to my face, and as for my daughter Valeria tell him that if he dares to lay a finger on her I'll kill him when I find him." I said to him with
RUFUS'S POVWe got released from the traps and then continued heading East together, the rogues and my men. It was not easy convincing the rogues to join me and I had to resort to using threats before they could agree. The rogues were a total number of seven which was still something. The more the better for me."Are you sure you will keep your promise to us, Rufus?" The leader of the rogues asked me."Yes I'll keep my end of my promise as long as you keep yours," I responded, steadying my horse as it seemed to be frightened by a rat or lizard."Okay, I will take your word for it then King Rufus,""What's your name?" I asked him given I didn't get to ask during our bargain."Jordan is my name, my king," he said, making his horse ride at the same pace as mine."Hmm, let's see where your loyalty can take you. Who knows I can make you my right-hand man, that is if you are loyal to me,""I swear on the grave of my late wife and son that I'll be loyal, do you know the reason why I agreed t
