Serena
Of course, my comment about intimacy was meant as a joke. There is no romantic relationship between Alonzo and me; we are simply good friends. However, I used that joke to tease Killian because I was frustrated with having to follow my father's orders.
As I made my way to my chamber, I couldn't help but express my annoyance. I'm tired of Killian's constant presence! I insisted that I needed to speak to Alonzo privately, and it was important for Killian not to be present due to the confidential nature of our conversation. Although it was just a fabrication on my part.
Before I could enter my room, I encountered Adriana, Alonzo's older sister, walking towards me with a confident sway in her hips. I have never been fond of her; I dislike everything about her, from her hair to her smug smile.
Adriana greeted her brother and gave a slight bow to me. I am well aware that she doesn't genuinely like me, mainly because Killian is my guard. I know she has a fondness for him, despite his obnoxious behavior. However, it is clear that Killian's attention is always focused on me, not because he is interested in me, but because he can't seem to take his eyes off me.
Feeling bored and exasperated, I let out a sigh.
Adriana's behavior infuriated me. She acted like an innocent woman in front of the guy she likes, but what annoyed me the most was Killian's obliviousness to the situation. And to make matters worse, he made eye contact with her.
"The Luna Astrid asked me for help because she knows you need rest. If your body is tired, it can affect your performance. Knowing this little princess is kinda active, you need a lot of rest," Adriana said, tilting her head towards me and mocking me with her smile. I was so close to losing my temper and wanting to strangle her. While I understood the double meaning behind her words, Alonzo must have noticed my clenched fist and quickly grabbed my wrist, pulling me inside the room. As we walked in, I could hear Killian laughing at Adriana's remark.
In frustration, I slammed the door shut. If he wants to be with that girl, fine. They can be together for all I care! Once we were inside my bedroom, Alonzo couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you kidding?" I said angrily, glaring at him with my piercing green eyes, but he continued to giggle like a fool. I was so frustrated that I was on the verge of hitting him.
"If you don't stop, I swear all the anger I have towards your sister will be directed at you," I warned, my voice filled with irritation.
Seeing that I was about to explode, he quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay... okay... Your Highness, I'll stop now," he said, trying to appease me.
Alonzo was my only friend in this kingdom, both within the palace and at school. Not only was he the only person who knew my true identity within the school, but my father had also stationed guards in every classroom to ensure my safety. It was one of the ways my father protected me. The rest of the school believed that the alpha was only concerned about the students' safety, but in reality, the guards were there for me.
Since we were children, Alonzo had been the only one who witnessed my fear when my father locked me in this enormous chamber that felt like a dungeon to me. I understood that my parents loved me and wanted to keep me safe, but sometimes it felt like they went overboard.
Alonzo had always been there for me, bringing laughter into my life and keeping me occupied. On the other hand, Killian seemed to hurt me with his cutting words every time. Alonzo understood the difficulties I faced as a child, and I was grateful that I had already moved past any romantic feelings I may have had for him. We had been close since we met in first grade, and he knew me inside out. Perhaps that's why my parents chose him to be my fiancé, even though they were aware that I would eventually meet my true mate.
As I recalled the reason why I had brought Alonzo to my room, my scowl deepened. He looked at me with an amused expression.
"Why didn't you protest earlier?" he asked, his amusement evident in his voice.
I gritted my teeth in frustration as he continued to giggle.
"Protest? For what reason?" he asked innocently, which only fueled my anger. Without hesitation, I struck him.
"Oh, I was just joking, of course. I remember now, you didn't object, so I assumed you were okay with it too," he said, trying to backtrack.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. I was on the verge of losing my patience, and if I hadn't paused for a moment, I could have sworn I would have done something drastic to this man.
"As you know, Alonzo, we were just friends, and who knows, maybe one day we'll both meet our respective mates!" I pondered aloud, wondering what would happen if that were to occur.
Letting out a sigh, I flopped onto my bed, feeling the weight of the situation.
Alonzo joined me on the bed, leaning against me.
"Don't tell me you still hold onto the hope that Killian will be your mate," he teased, tickling my waist, knowing full well that it was the most sensitive part of my body. He knew me inside and out, after all.
"Stop it, Alonzo. I've never entertained that thought," I replied firmly.
"As far as I know, Killian is already twenty-seven years old, and I haven't heard any news of him finding his mate. Perhaps his mate is still too young? Is that what you're thinking?" Alonzo asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Anticipating his next words, I quickly covered Alonzo's mouth, knowing exactly what was about to come out of his inappropriate mouth.
“Mmmmmm”
Alonzo attempted to speak, his muffled chuckles escaping from beneath my hands. Knowing that he could easily remove my hands, I straddled his stomach, trying to maintain control of the situation.
He continued to laugh, his hand resting on top of mine, not making any attempt to pull it away. His teasing and tickling persisted, despite my efforts to stop him.
"Stop it, Alonzo. I don't want to hear it!" I pleaded, my voice filled with frustration.
Suddenly, Killian's booming voice echoed through the room, causing me to freeze. Unfortunately, I couldn't see his reaction as the door was behind me.
Alonzo lifted his body slightly, while I remained on top of him, feeling a sense of unease wash over me.
As I caught sight of Killian's blade aimed at Alonzo's neck, my heart skipped a beat. I swallowed nervously, realizing the gravity of the situation.
"If you don't release Serena, this sword will find its way into yo
ur neck," Killian warned, his voice filled with a dangerous undertone.
"Killian Adriana called out, trying to get my attention. "I'm thrilled that Luna assigned me this task. I may not particularly like that brat, but as long as you're my partner, everything will be fine," her voice filled with a mix of excitement and determination. "Killian, are you even listening?" Adriana muttered, clearly annoyed by his distraction. While Adriana spoke, my focus remained on the princess and her companion. I couldn't help but wonder what they were plotting this time. Serena seemed to have completely forgotten about our previous encounter, but the image of her exposed body was still vivid in my mind. My thoughts were clouded, making it difficult to think clearly. All of this is solely the fault of that brat. The door abruptly slammed shut in front of me as the Beta's son and the princess entered the room, interrupting my train of thought. In an attempt to calm my nerves, I tilted my head slightly. "Don't worry, they'll be fine in there," Adriana reassured me, e
Serena"I caught a glimpse of Killian's back as he walked away. I was stressed as a result of what had occurred. Alonzo went out. I suppose my father asked him to be at that meeting too, though I still need to talk to him. I think maybe that was better than being teased by him. All night long, until he thought about going back homeAdriana exited the room after my father requested it.I groan, knowing that, with those piercing eyes, I'm doomed."With just a short period of time, you manage to give me too much headache, young lady!"Before I look at my father again, I close my eyes."Please accept my apologies, father; I swear I didn't mean it. As Adriana stated, "I simply fell.""Serena, your mother was too worried about you; when would you act like a responsible one, huh?"I lowered my head and apologized once more. Other than that, there was nothing I could do. This conversation would be longer if I opened my mouth to clarify or explain myself. And for the time being, I just want pea
Killian" I could see through the alpha's face how angry he was. His hand was trembling, holding the tip of his sword. I want to run away, yet I realise why I would run away. I haven't done anything wrong. Still, I was jittering inside. I want to glare at Serena for what she had done, though we both looked at her father. When would I be free to play with this brat? She was ruining me slowly. Then again, Adriana saved my ass through the alpha's wrath. I was mad, however, when Serena talked about her future with that son of beta. I think I am beyond mad now. It's a good thing that the Alpha dismissed me because of the meeting; otherwise, the blood that I saw in my head would be real. I look at my father and maintain my blank expression while shaking my head. I was planning to investigate the man who has the same face as mine after my punishment, and I could have extra time after Joshaque's come back from his duty. I know that my fellow Zeta is in trouble now, yet there's nothing I
before the sun rises. It was still dark outside, the dullness of the place covering every moving creature, although some of the holes outside gave the place a little bit of borrowed light from the moon outside of this damn place. A shadow of a man jumped to the place to place this creature, which lurked in the caliginous place until he reached the mansion that he could conceivably have found the person that he had been looking for. The mansion of the Zapanta's is one of the zeta's of the crimson blood pack. The stronger zeta of the group of wolves living in this, let's call it an isolated place, The man sits on the sofa as he manages to sneak into the said house like he was the owner. He waited until the person that he wanted to The man that he thought had died a long time ago That man was his uncle. The light bulb turned on, and the not-so-old man jumped in surprise when he saw that he was sitting on the sofa. "What the! "You surprised me, Killian. I thought that you came back
"Meeting of the highest rank" "Alpha, we hadn't seen the rogue who attacked the princess." "They were too experts; they hid all the possible things that could lead us to find them." The alpha couldn't hide his anger. Just a few minutes ago, the member group of the hunter for food came to him, telling him that they haven't seen enough animals to add to their stock. If their farm hadn't been buried by a huge landslide, food would not have been a problem for another year, but over the past few years, a lot of holes from above have been slowly eroding. A meter-sized hole, from above, was slowly getting bigger. Sometimes the alpha was afraid that someday the realm would be next to be buried in that soil that came from above. He has to know what is happening and why the hole is slowly sliding. Yet his newest problem now is maybe the group of rogues who attack his daughter, who probably recognize Serena's identity by now. ________ Killian" I glare at the man before I follow Serena. My
Kyzer" "If I had known that my twin and you were alive, I might have attacked this kingdom that ruined my family a long time ago." "Mom had maybe seen my twin before she died. "You're kidding me, right?" Killian?" That was Uncle Colton's utterance after a minute of being shocked by my presence. I grin... "You still think that I'm Killian?" Are you saying that you hadn't hidden from my brother that he has a twin? It seems not; I can see through his eyes the last time we met. Uncle Colton shook his head. "Kyzer? "Is that really you?" I smirked, "glad you still remember." Uncle steps closer to me. Where the hell have you been? "What are you saying that will ruin your family?" I look intently into my uncle's eyes. He seems to be telling the truth, but he doesn't know what truly happened to our family. "I guess we had a lot of things to talk about. Yet first of all, we have to talk confidentially. _________ Serena" I raised an eyebrow as I saw Adriana standing in front of Kill
Kyzer" The light from each orifice above was giving this dark place a cosy feeling, so I'm sure that the sun was already soaring from the sky. The image of the sky and the sun was on my mind as I recalled all of the tales that my mom spun when I was a child. The only good memory that I have is of my childhood. as we step into one of the rooms. I can sense that some of the people in the mansion have awoken already. I have to be careful not to be noticed by anyone. I sit on the sofa. I examine my uncle's features. He stares at me in disbelief. However, the longing that I have been feeling for all of this year I can see through his lustrous golden eyes now. "Now tell me, what happened?" That night, when my brother stated that we needed to pack our things because we needed to evacuate, I had no idea what was happening that night. My brother and his wife were both hysterical. I don't have a chance to ask them; I just go with the flow. Listen for what I needed to do until we were separat
Serena" After that day, my parents wouldn't allow me to come back to school, and my father wanted to make sure that the entire school was safe. Though all of the people at the school thought that my father did conduct a major investigation and examine the whole school and any place that could be the hiding spot of the culprit who attempted to hurt me, they wanted to make sure that this wouldn't happen again before letting me go back to my usual day at school. After three days, at last, my father let me go back to school. Yet it's been three days. I still don't have any news regarding Killian other than his being in danger because the crossbow that hit him was poisonous. According to the servant that I ordered to gather information regarding Killian's condition, he was transferred and brought to the west part of our realm, where the sanitarium for the serious illness was. It means Killian's condition was really serious. Killian was one of the strongest guards and the next Zeta of our
