KILLIAN'S POV"Run back to whatever hole you crawled out from Scarlett," I said to her without paying her much attention. Alex's dead body was still here and I was already devastated by the sight of her lifeless body."You bastard, you should be the one to crawl into your hole," She said in full confidence thinking that was a better comeback. "Killian do you have any last words?" Jack asked. These people are fueled with so much audacity. "I'm not dying today Jack," I said as he charged at me.There was something about how Jack fought. It was quite unusual and different from his normal technique. It was as if he was"I can see that you are having a hard time keeping up with my attacks," Jack said as he continued to strike me."You wish, I'm just getting warmed up," I said not admitting it because I didn't want his ego high.I continued my attacks on him and he didn't give me a good opening for attack. Scarlett came behind me and I saw her with a mini dagger. This bitch, What's she tryi

RUFUS'S POVI ignored Mabel and commanded my men to follow me as we made our way to Manor. After hours of traveling, we weren't that far from Manor any longer as we took a shorter route to meet up with the fight. We were meant to take longer but the bitch escaped, I got a mess from the men I put in charge of her. Having her captive would have given me an upper hand but the idiots I sent on the mission didn't deliver.Mabel didn't speak to me throughout the rest of our trip as I shunned her. The stupid brat tried preaching love to me. I don't care about anything else except getting my title as the protector and ruler of all four realms and I won't stop until I achieve it. "King Rufus, are there any changes to our plan?" Jordan asked as he was aware that Valeria had escaped. "No, we are sticking with the original plan still, with or without her in our custody. I wanted to spite them by having her and maneuver my way into victory but that bitch beat me to it.Bandits didn't disturb us in

VALERIA'S POVI pretended like I was unconscious as they carried me away. "There's been a war proposal between the princess's pack and that of Manor," one of the men said. "Yes, and do you know the most interesting thing, the princess pack thinks that it's Killian who kidnapped her. They don't, it's us so currently they are going all out at each other," The other responded saying. Then I realized that it wasn't Killian who requested my abduction. The way they dropped Ryan off was so strange as they didn't bother to just end his life as he was already greatly injured. Maybe they wanted him to struggle and bleed to death. So if it isn't Killian who took me, who then? I asked myself but no one came to mind. I didn't have time to find out who the person was as my people were currently at war and I needed to be there. So I had no time to waste anymore and I needed to act fast.The men stopped and it was my perfect opportunity to escape. I chanted a few spells to loosen up my ropes and then

JACK'S POV.I felt somewhat pumped with energy for this fight and I'll try to use my ability to my advantage. I just have to hope that I don't experience spontaneous transformation without control as it has been reoccurring for the past week now.After a few days' journey, we got to Manor and we took the shorter route."Are we ready?" I asked everyone and they nodded. "None of you should dare die, else I'll kill you myself, to the princess," I said bringing out my sword and we all raised our sword to the air and charged into the Manor's gate.Some entrance guards tried to defend the gate and stop us from entering but we sliced through them, they were poor souls but they chose the wrong side too. More soldiers came from inside, hindering us from entering.Not relenting, I countered their attack. They saw me as a traitor who came back as they didn't know the true story. That didn't matter now as I had no time to explain myself. One of them managed to kick me off my horse and I would hav

JACK'S POVKillian has taken Valeria and the bastard dares to remain silent even after the king sent him a letter. Everything is set and soon we would be out to battle. He cannot escape it, not this time his end is here."Are we ready yet?" I asked Sigil."The king hasn't given us a go-ahead yet, he is asked to stay in his chambers until he is fully healed and he would want to join us in battle," Sigil said."We cannot wait, it's been five days since he sent the letter and Killian hasn't responded, we don't know what he could be doing to Valeria, so we should not tarry any longer," I said to Sigil."I completely agree with you Jack but the king's order,""I'll go speak with him now just to make preparations, I'm sure to come back with a positive response," I said heading to the king's chambers."Who's there?" The king asked as I entered."It's I, Jack," I responded as I moved closer to her bed, he didn't know I was the one earlier because he was lying facing upward and the door was qu

KILLIAN POVI wondered how the spell didn't work on my parents, but it didn't matter how long they were in prison."So does anyone have anything else to say?" I said to the people. "I'm all ears, anyone?" There was absolute silence and I loved the fear and terror I commanded."In the absence of none, everyone can go about their normal business," I said and they started leaving, including the elders."Sebastian," I called out looking around but could not find him. "Sebastian!" This time I called louder than the first time. Then I saw him coming from the hallway. "Yes Lord Killian," he responded, running towards me. "Where did you go?" I asked him."I'm sorry my lord, I went to quickly make use of my chamber pot," he answered and I gave him a look of disgust."Next time keep such information to yourself," I said. "Okay my Lord, my sincere apologies," he said."Keep it to yourself, have you assembled the men?""No my Lord, you said that I should gather everyone for the announcement first

The voice came from behind, on the second line. The ones on the first line gave way to see who it was. She had bedhead brown hair packed In a bun. Her body quivered slightly, both her hands balled into fists by her side, and her face still looking downwards. “Depression? Derah wasn't depressed” she muttered loud enough for everyone to hear. Her teeth clenched “And she wasn't harboring any fucking suicidal thoughts” Her voice broke. “Derah wanted to live.” Teardrops were now visible on the marble floor below her. “She could've lived a long life, but you people killed her”Her voice became loud “YOU PEOPLE KILLED HER!” She snapped a glare at Albert with an accusing finger, and her eyes welled up with tears. “We?” Thelma scoffed “You saw it with your own eyes. She was with the gun she used to kill—” “Don't tell me that bullshit!” She cut in, leaving Thelma's jaw-dropping. A maid dared to cuss at her? The woman continued to rant “Ever since she and that bitch Lyla had served a meal

“What's going on out there?” Kain asked, fastening his cufflinks. He was asking the maid who had entered the room with a tray of his breakfast. “Haven't you seen the news, Master Kain?” She returned the question. “Derah's death is all over; almost every news station in California has an article already written about her.” Her voice suddenly hushed nervously. “They are all saying that the Blackwood family orchestrated her murder,” She was quick to add, “But of course, I don't believe them. I saw it. Derah unalived herself” Kain paid her no attention. Even though he had no hand in Derah's death, he trusted Thelma and Evie to take care of everything without letting the news escalate. But it seemed they were incompetent in that area too. It was only an intuition, but Kain believed that whoever sold the news out to the media had to be one of the other maids.After the maid serving him excused herself, he downed the black coffee and left whatever remained on the plate. He got downstair

Liam needed a moment to digest what he had heard. Ava was now free to resume her work at the hospital. That meant she would leave him. She could easily quit working for him and go back to her dream job. Why did it make him feel gloomy? He couldn't let Ava leave, he didn't want her to….at least not yet. After making up his mind, Liam hid her phone. He would keep the message a secret till the month was over to stop her from leaving. ‘I’ll delete the call log when my sight comes back again’ he said inwardly. *************Ava's eyes fluttered open. She placed her hand on her forehead after a mild headache hit her. How long was I asleep? She asked inwardly. She winced, shutting her eyes. She tried to open them again but saw a blurry image above her face. “Liam?” Her thoughts escaped her lips in a murmur. She thought she saw him. She rubbed on her eyes, clearing her vision, only to see that it was Albert. Her face showed disappointment. But then again, how did she expect Liam to come

Liam sat on his bed in his room. His face, deeply troubled, was fixated down to the marble floor. He kept thinking about what happened in Ava's room last night— the maid that tried to stab her. If he hadn't gone to her room that night, he would have been greeted by her corpse the next morning. And even though it didn't happen, the thought of it made him restless. “Son?” Albert entered the room, shutting the door behind him. “You called…..is something up?” He grabbed a stool nearby and sat opposite Liam. Liam didn't look up. He waited a while before disclosing “Someone's trying to kill Ava. If I wasn't there last night, she would be dead” A short silence settled between them. Albert broke the silence with a narrowed expression “Which of them did it?” He asked. ‘Them’ referring to either Kain, Thelma, or Evie. Liam clicked his tongue, “I don't know yet,” “But you've got an idea” Albert knew who was on Liam's mind. Liam shook his head “Kain wouldn't kill her” Albert sneered almost

Ava blinked twice and she looked at Liam. She could've sworn she heard him say something about her hair. But she wasn't sure. Maybe she imagined it. “Strange woman” Liam called out of the blue. “I'm suddenly curious” Ava turned to him, ignoring the fact that he called her strange, and asking “Curious about?” “Why do you want to help me so badly? You're the first woman to actually consider my condition and make a move towards it. What's in it for you?” he asked. Ava leaned back, taking her eyes back to the fountain. She gave his question a thought and opened her mouth to speak. “There was something I could do so why would I just sit back and watch?” She returned the question. Liam was quick to answer “Didn't your parents teach you to mind your business? Besides, you were brought to take care of me….. meddling in anything else would've gotten you fired” “But it didn't,” said Ava almost immediately. Liam scoffed, his tone sarcastic. “And you think it's because you're best buddies

Liam couldn't believe his ears, the shock on his face was evident. According to Albert, they had already tested the device and got it imported for him. All thanks to Ava and Finn, people he never thought would make a difference in his life. He could barely wait, his heart was pounding hard against his chest. The three welcomed the specialist whose trip from China down to the United States was sponsored by Albert. Albert gave him a good old handshake “Welcome Dr. Qin Shi” “Thank you, Mr. Albert Blackwood,” He took his hand in a shake. After which he scammed the faces in the room, his hands akimbo. “Well, then, shall we?” He asked. The moment they nodded, he signaled his assistants to come in with the orthotic device. They called it the “Mobility Enhancer Orthosis” The MEO was brought to Liam's bed where the dissembling took place. The more unfamiliar sounds Liam heard, the more anxious he grew. Dr. Qin Shi did the fixation himself, carefully showing each of them how Liam would we
