Axel’s POV

I sat there in the dark for a long time, just staring at the forensic report until the words started to look like static. The body in the car didn’t have a scar. No appendix scar, no Brielle. It was that simple.

My brain was doing this weird, glitchy thing where it was trying to process two completely different emotions at the exact same time. On one hand, I felt this massive, chest-bursting explosion of elation. She was alive. My Queen wasn't ash. She hadn't been erased from the wor

  • After He Took It All   The Watcher

    Brielle’s POVI couldn't sleep last night.I mean, how could I? After….after whatever that was…. happened.My eyes closed shut when Axel’s arms stayed wrapped around me the entire night, keeping me warm and safe in bed.But my mind? It never stopped pacing with questions.Even now, standing in the kitchen with a cup of coffee slowly growing cold between my fingers, I could still feel it. That lingering heat from last night. The way his voice softened with each step he made towards me. The way he looked at me like I wasn’t just another…important task for the day—but someone…he would burn the world for.I swallowed, staring blankly up ahead at the window opposite mine, wondering what it would be like to have him pin me against it one more time.“Burning a hole through the cup won’t make it hotter.” He suddenly said from behind, his voice calm but laced with curiosity, like he'd been watching me for some time now.I froze in my tracks, biting on my bottom lips, but not turning immediatel

  • After He Took It All   Promises & Kisses

    Brielle’s POVI arrived home, disoriented and too lost in my head to care about my current appearance. It wasn't the agreement, or the presence of the aegis itself that shook me to the core.It was something else.Just that one word.Sister.It echoed in my head like a glitch that refused to correct itself. Like something that didn’t fit in with the rest of the puzzles I already had in place, but still kept clicking—still kept trying to blend in with my world.I didn’t realize how long I’d been standing in the middle of the bedroom until the city lights outside shifted slightly, painting a different angle of gold across the floor.My heels were still on. My hands were still clenched tightly by my sides, knuckles turning white from the growing pain.My breathing… close to being ragged and fast because…it didn’t make sense.Nothing about that made any sense to me.I had mapped out every possible angle of that meeting before stepping into it. Every response. Every manipulation tactic the

  • After He Took It All   The Queen’s Final Verdict

    Brielle’s POVI read the letter three times. Three good times.Not because I didn’t understand the message written there, but basically I needed to be sure it was enough for my checkmate to take place.Every word felt like a test to my games. Because in my board, this wasn't some random invitation with some random power.This was definitely a leash. A freaking leash to the powers I possess.I folded the paper slowly between my fingers, smoothing it out against the desk like it was just another annoying government taxes.“They want an answer,” Axel said behind me, bringing my attention briefly to his worried figure.“I know.” I answered with a scoff, tossing it into the bin next to us.“And?”I didn’t look at him. Because the answer wasn’t something I needed to find. It was something I already had.“They don’t get to summon me. I've had enough of all these summonings from people.” I frowned, eyes moving towards the balcony to oversee the city lights all around us. To see the liveliness

  • After He Took It All   Become Our Queen, Brielle

    Axel's POVThree weeks later, everything started to fall into place.The structure became a masterpiece, developing clean lines of reinforced glass and layers of security buried so deep into the foundation that you wouldn’t even know they were there unless, of course, you built them yourself.Which I did.I stood across the street, hands in my pockets as I looked up at it.It didn’t look like a fortress anymore. It wasn't as obvious as the other plans.It looked like a place where kids could walk in and… just be kids.Even if they weren’t normal ones.“Overcompensating?” Brielle’s voice came from behind me.I didn’t turn as I braced myself for impact, "I'm just…um, preparing.”She stepped up beside me, her shoulder brushing mine lightly. I tensed for some seconds, waiting for her sarcastic opinions.But we just ended up staring up at the building. Watching.“They’ll need somewhere to belong,” I added after what felt like forever. “Somewhere safe in our reach. Somewhere we can control

  • After He Took It All   The Plan Has Just Started

    Axel’s POVI didn’t sleep that night. Couldn't actually.Because every time I closed my eyes, I saw those cursed colours. That soft, unnatural glow staring back at me like I was the one who didn’t belong in their world.So instead of letting the nightmares swallow me whole, I stayed awake. Sat on the edge of the bed with my elbows on my knees, staring at nothing but the gentle swaying of the curtains at the edge of each window.It should be peaceful enough to let me drift back to sleep any moment from now. The key word here is, it should be.But it wasn't.If anything, it made me aware of how temporary the peace and quiet in our lives have been for the past few months now.It was like, we were built for drama—built for war, rather than a normal life. And as much as that's been my childhood dream, I think….I think this is getting out of our hands now.Getting out of my wife's hands as well.Looking to the side, my eyes remained on Brielle, noticing how her chest rose and fell too caref

  • After He Took It All   The Evolution

    Brielle’s POVThe ride back home felt longer than it should have.Axel didn’t say much after the call. He just drove—fast, reckless, cutting through the narrow jungle roads like the car had some mysterious flying engine that could activate any minute from now.Sadly, that technology didn't exist. Yet.Alexei sat in the back, unusually quiet for once.And me?I couldn’t stop hearing the nanny's words ringing at the back of my head. My fingers tightened unconsciously against my lap.“They’re fine,” Axel muttered suddenly, like he was trying to convince himself more than me. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he choked out yet again, “They’re fine. It’s probably just—lighting. Kids do weird things.”I didn’t answer. Because deep down, we both knew that was far from the truth.The moment I placed my hand into that scanner to clear my head… something weird happened.I felt it. Not just pain.Something else. An energy that didn’t belong to me alone—someone else was activated.“Fa

  • After He Took It All   The Judge Falls

There was Judge Miller, the guy who used to walk like he owned the earth, looking like a deer caught in a high-beam glare.He was surrounded by a swarm of reporters, microphones being shoved in his fac

    Axel's POVThe old warehouse pier on the East River was exactly where a desperate, cornered rat like Sophia would choose to meet.

    Axel's POVI didn't let Sophia get a transfer or a clean exit on the pier, despite my promise. That was a lie to secure the information. I brought her straight back to my secured office tower, to my deepest security zone. I wasn't letting her out of my sight, or the custody of my team, until I had
