Eric’s POV Aunt Greta told a story about my grandfather and his father. She said we were quite similar in many ways. Just like my father, we were both stubborn children. Grandfather fell in love as a kid while traveling with his father. Unfortunately, the girl in question was an ordinary Thai girl. She was beautiful, he said. His father wasn’t interested in creating such a connection. In times of war, a love that was supposed to bring people together instead created a rift between a father and a son. His father led to his first love’s death, and on his dying bed, he asked for forgiveness, but my grandfather refused. Aunt Greta wanted my help to convince my grandfather to visit his father’s grave. So here I am, standing in front of his door, hoping he would open up, since I have been coming for a week now. “Grandfather, you don’t need to act like this. I just want us to talk. This is your last warning.” No response from him. This was my only option. “If you don’t c

Philip's POV Everything feels like a dream. I'm trying hard to be friends with Eric, but it’s difficult, especially since he got married. He’s a changed man. He’s always smiling now. I heard he loves visiting Phoebe’s home country. The point is, he’s happy, and I’m just here in my office, drinking alcohol. We found out who attacked Eric—guess who? Rachael Li. I expected that. She’s unstable and needs help, which is why I sent her to a psychiatric hospital, since I’m technically her husband. But things are clear now. No hard feelings. She claims she has changed, and who am I to judge? I’ve changed too, but not entirely. I still lack the courage to confess and apologize to Diana for being a jerk. Six months should be enough to get my act together. "Ping!" "Who the hell is disturbing my..." I pause when I see who’s calling. "Diana," I mutter. I clear my throat and answer, "Diana." "Can we meet?" "Yeah..." "Someone wants to see you. Can you make it right now? I’m in front of th

A Few Hours Ago… Phoebe’s POV It was high time I faced my fears and made things right. I decided to visit my father. Mama accompanied me, and the moment we entered the police station, I asked her for some alone time with him. She nodded in agreement. I approached the officer at the front desk and politely asked to see my father. He directed me to the waiting area, where I took a seat and waited for him to be called. Soon enough, he appeared. He seemed to be doing well, smiling as he took his seat. “Is there something you need? You haven’t visited for a while now,” he said. “Been busy,” I replied. “Yeah, I can see that. You’re getting married.” “Huh!” I exclaimed, surprised. He chuckled softly. “Don’t be surprised. Your marriage to Eric is everywhere.” “Hmm. I just want you to listen. Will you do that for me?” He nodded. “I’m sorry.” “Huh?” “Don’t be surprised. It was bound to happen anyway,” I giggled. He chuckled again. “I’m sorry for being a bad father, for

Phoebe’s POV As expected of the most famous family in Singapore. Mr. Hong makes our unprepared marriage London to the public. Everywhere is flooded with the news of the number one bachelor’s marriage, ERIC HONG. It’s not easy being his soon to be bride. The hate is as equal as the love. People think king i don’t deserve to be with him. He is too precious for me. Catrina snaps at me interrupting my thoughts. “Girl where is your head. You can’t be distracted when you have a big wedding at hand. More importantly you are the bride” she points out. “Exactly” “Huh!”she exclaims. “What are talking about?” Ella asks. I sigh. “I haven’t you guys seen the hate comments on the news. No everywhere. It’s hard to be the bride when you are the only one who seems to be happy” I explain. They stare blankly at me with a frown. “I didn’t think you care about what others think about you?” “Me too, guess people do change” “That is not it. I feel like it’s being rushed. We are not

Phoebe’s POV Mama has all the reasons to be upset with me. I did tell her I was not having sex with Eric, and now it turns out I am pregnant. She keeps dragging me along. I don’t know where we are heading. She probably doesn’t know either. “Mama, mama, mama!” “What?!” She finally pauses and lets go of my hand to face me. “What? Do you have anything to say now?” “No I don’t, but I need to know where we are going l, we have been walking and it’s getting dark. We are a few steps away from the hospital I think it’s best we..” “No, we are not going back to that place. I know what you are trying to do here and it won’t work on me this time around” “Mama, listen please” “No, I am not going to listen to your lies anymore. I have had enough of you trying to act smart with me. Yes may not be the best mother in the world but, I did want you to end up like me. I am trying here Phoebe. I wish..” her voice breaking. “Mama,” I call, softly. “No don’t say a word. I am not done yet. You tol

Eric’s POV “Congratulations, you are pregnant,” hearing the doctor announce such news, my eyes widen. I can’t believe it. She is really pregnant. I blink, trying to grasp what he just revealed. Forgetting that I am not the only one surprised. “What!!!” “Doctor, you must be mistaken. There is no way my daughter would be pregnant. She hasn’t been with a man before, please do your checks well.” “Huh!” I exclaim, and Grandfather Hong and Aunt Greta exchange glances. They are in shock. The doctor is the most shocked. He glances at Phoebe and then to me. “Mama, calm down. It’s probably a mistake, right, doctor?” She winces at the doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor seems to be an honest man. He still insists on the fact that she is pregnant. Honestly, I have been hoping for such news. The last time we made love, I didn’t use a condom. She passed out, so she hardly remembered what happened after. And that is good news. She would probably have my neck if she finds out I am the cause

The mud did jump and spray under the horses' feet as they rode, full of anger, toward their dwelling. The rain showed the Alpha's dark heart, heavy with sorrow. Sebastian struck his horse in his fury. The horse neighed loudly, as if agreeing to the fury of its master, confirming its will to hasten its pace. A day and a night had passed since they fled the ordeal of Brago. The rain had not stopped. This meant they could not reach home quickly by the easy road, leaving only the perilous and unwelcome track open to them. Their great rush suddenly stopped when Sebastian felt a quick, sharp sting in his chest. He pulled his horse to a sudden halt, making the beast jerk and nearly throw them to the ground. "Sebastian, what is wrong?" Gargath asked, his voice filled with concern. "It happens again! She is in danger! I—I know it!" Sebastian spoke, stuttering. "Hah!" the others cried out. "What say you?" Raul asked. "Can you feel her?" they questioned. "Wait! What is that mar

Sebastian's guest chambers... "Gargath we need to leave now?" "What? it still dusk ,how can we leave now, what might be urgent?” Sebastian kept pacing and breathing heavily as his companions stared at him in daze. “Is there something occupying your mind” “I do not understand what I feel now Gargath. It feels like something horrible has happened or about to happen and that is why we need to leave” “B-b..” “No buys Gargath, gather everyone we leave by dawn. I am afraid of what is yet to come” While Sebastian and Gargath exchanged words something unexpected was about to happen. Sharkong….. Ara’s POV He leaves without a word. I only found out about his departure from the gossips of the maids. I fear more danger awaits me now that he is no longer around. My thoughts drown in sorrow as I watch the sky fork my window. My eyes locks with the devil incarnate, Vaxar. She is walking towards my hut. It is obvious what she will do if she sees me. I need to hu

Sebastian’s POV My heart felt as though a thousand needles pierced through it as I looked upon Kazakth — the man I despised most, second only to the Voldines. He watched me throughout the trial, his gaze steady and unyielding. The worst part was that we looked so alike it felt as if I were staring into a mirror. I still remember the first time we met. It was as though fate had drawn us together. I was but ten winters old, trembling as his eyes fell upon me — sharp and hungry, like a wolf studying its prey. Yet he smiled, a smile strangely familiar, and in that moment, I truly learned what fear meant. “This man is no ordinary Alpha,” I had whispered to myself. But the dread did not come from his power — it was from the haunting truth that he looked like me. I wondered if blood might bind us. Luckily, it did not. Still, as I grew, many mistook me for him. And in time, I became what I once feared — cold, relentless, and eventually named the Barbarian. He was the darker versio

“Sebastian, we must leave for Brago’s Trail. His fate shall be decided after the council,” said Gargath, handing over a howl-letter bearing the king’s seal.Sebastian chuckled. “Is that so? This will be interesting.”“We ride at nightfall, if we wish to arrive on time.”“Aye. Ready the horses, and inform Vaxar, Faustus, and Faise—they ride with us.”“Aye, Alpha Sebastian.” Gargath turned to leave but paused as Sebastian raised a hand.“Wait,” Sebastian said, voice low. “Next time, do not disturb my peace. I will not have it, Gar.”Gargath scoffed playfully. “I heed my master’s plea.”“Plea?” Sebastian frowned, but before he could scold him further, Gargath vanished.Sebastian’s POVI would have no quarrel with leaving for the Trail, if not for Crystal and her brother being here.Now that they are, I worry for Ara. Leaving her alone with them may stir trouble.But what choice do I have? I muttered to myself after Gargath left.When I woke, the bed was empty. She had left before the fir

Sebastian’s POV I could feel it—her pain, sharp as a seax’s blade between my ribs. It was not my will to wound her, yet she held no weight in my thoughts at that moment. Ever did she bring storms upon me, and still, the sight of her weeping gnawed at my bones. Her tears alone were enough to unsettle me for days. Worse still, I had to endure these wretched siblings. "I remember now—this is the slave who won the games some days past. Aye, it is her. She sparks my interest, you see..."The bastard Lewis spoke, cleaving through my thoughts. I knew his gaze had settled upon Ara, but after the blood-price I took from him, I had hoped he would not dare to harbor such desires. "Interest?" I raised a brow. "What nonsense spills from your lips now, brother?" "Oh, dear sister, your wits move slow as winter ice. The slave who seeks your husband’s heart is the very one you just saw," he revealed. "What?!" Crystal whirled toward me, eyes sharp as frost. "What is he saying, Sebastian?" "

"Seb, I warned you. Ending the marriage so swiftly was a reckless move. And now, we’ve made an enemy of them," Gargath said as he dragged Sebastian into his chamber, shutting the heavy oak door behind them. "You think I know not, Gar?" Sebastian growled, his voice tight with unrest. "But what is the point in forging a bond with one I feel naught for?" "Oh, because now you pine for the girl who turned you away, aye?" Gargath shot back, his words edged with bitter humor. Sebastian’s glare could've frozen a fjord. Gargath exhaled sharply, then bowed his head. "Forgive me. That was low." "Seb," he continued more gently, "you could still go through with the marriage. Perhaps, in time, you two might find warmth in each other." "You forget one thing," Sebastian said, his tone quiet but firm. "I am bonded—to another. My soul has chosen. Even if I tried to love Crystal, or merely stand beside her as husband, my very body would betray me. It is not a choice anymore." Gargath swall
