After a long and exhausting day, I was finally going home.

Home…

I like the sound of it.

The packhouse used to be just a place for me to finish work and sleep. I never saw it as anything else until Kelly came back.

“Have dinner in the packhouse,” I said to Aiden, who hadn’t said a word since we left his father’s house. I am not quite sure what happened between them after the interrogation I had with Merry, because Mr. Anderson was no longer there when I got out.

“Yeah, sure.” He replied, not facing me. Aiden isn’t the type of guy who mopes around. He’s the type of guy who always finds a solution. But as his friend, I respected the space that he needed.

Lylia’s happy voice could be heard from the outside. Seeing a glimpse of her smiling face as she danced along with the music made me so glad that she was finally here with me.

She rushes towards us as Aiden opens the door. Her short steps and giggles were music to my ears.

Both Aiden and I knelt in front of her, a silent competiti

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 176 - Kelly

    “It’s okay, Kelly,” the Fae King said, a bittersweet sadness woven into his words. “If it’s too much, you don’t have to wake your mother. But… is it alright if she stays here with me?”I knew the Fae King only said it to ease the weight I kept piling onto myself, but that didn’t stop the pressure from building.“Kelly?” he called gently, but I couldn’t bring myself to turn around.“Is everything all right?”There was real worry threaded through his voice, and my pulse skipped. If I didn’t say something, anything, I know he’d come closer. I heard the scrape of his chair as he pushed it back. My eyes fluttered shut as I tried to gather every fraying emotion and pin it down before it spilled out.Just before he could take that first step toward me, my voice finally broke free.“I’m fine,” I managed to say. My voice was higher than usual, but there was nothing I could do about it. I swallowed and pushed on. “It’s just… everything is happening all at once. And I’m trying to keep up, I real

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 175 - Kelly

    I lingered with my mother a little longer, soaking in the comfort of her presence before I finally made up my mind. When I returned to my room, I opened the journals again, slowly, almost hesitantly, hoping that a fresh read might reveal something I’d overlooked. Some hidden clue. Some alternate path. Anything that would spare my daughter from being tangled in this prophecy.But no matter how many times I searched the lines, the meaning stayed the same. Unmoving. Unforgiving.“Fire and ice together shall awaken what love could not.”I sat there for a long while, breathing through the tightness in my chest. It would have been so much easier if this burden were mine alone. But it wasn’t. And that truth hit harder each time I faced it.Aerin was still away, still assisting Leo, no doubt. I couldn’t ask for her insight. Normally, I would have waited. She always had a way of explaining things to me in a way that I could understand. Making what seemed to be a threat become something that I

    “Fire and ice together shall awaken what love could not.”I reread the line. And again. And again. My eyes skimmed the passage I had practically memorized by now, but that sentence, that sentence, had never been there before. A chill crept down my spine. I snapped the journal shut, then flipped it open as if the words might vanish the second time around.They didn’t.I pinched my cheek hard enough to sting. Definitely awake. Definitely losing my mind.“Kelly?” Katherine’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. I nearly jumped, but relief flooded through me at the sight of her.I hurried toward her, journal clutched to my chest like it might escape.“I need you to check something,” I blurted, breathless and trembling. I flipped the journal open and pointed at the impossible line.“What do you see right here?” I demanded. Katherine arched a brow—her you’re-being-weird-again look—but leaned in anyway.“‘Fire and ice together shall awaken what love could not,’” she read aloud. Then she

    “Why, then? Why won’t you sign the alliance if you’ve already done so much for us? For me? I want to repay you, once we’re back on our feet.”For the first time since I’d entered, his quill stilled completely. When he looked up again, there was something different in his eyes, a sadness that I can’t quite explain.“Because,” he said softly, “I don’t want what happened to your father to happen to you as well.” He paused, his expression tightening with something that looked almost like grief.“I don’t want you dead.”Leo was silent for a long moment, the weight of the Fae King’s words settling over him like a heavy fog. He understood what the king was saying; he understood what had happened to his father. But after spending time in the Fae King’s presence, after seeing the flickers of gentleness behind the mask of cold and uncaring exterior, Leo knew one thing for sure: the Fae King would never hurt him. Not intentionally.“But you wouldn’t do anything to hurt me on purpose, right?” I a

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 172 - Leo

    As I walk towards the Fae King’s office, the memory of last night lingers in my mind. I won’t deny that it helped release the tension and stress that I had been under ever since the case between Merry and her father blew up. The corridors of the Fae Castle were unusually quiet, and for the first time since I had arrived, I felt a wave of a certain aura, like the ancient magic thrumming through the marble walls. Instead of being scared of it, I was slowly getting the hang of how it touches my skin.By the time I reached the tall double doors of the Fae King’s office, the scent of ink already filled the air. I knocked once before pushing the door open.As expected, the Fae King was there, half-buried behind towering stacks of scrolls and papers, his hair catching the faint glow of the sunlight outside as they passed through the window. He didn’t look up immediately, quill scratching across the parchment with precise, almost hypnotic movements. When he finally raised his gaze to meet mi

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 171 - Kelly

    There are so many unspoken words between us, and yet last night felt like we communicated them clearly with each other.I watched Leo sleep soundly beside me. This was the first time I had the opportunity to watch him sleep. He was always busy that even after a night of sex, he would still be the first one to wake up. Now, I could see how tired he was and how much he needed to rest. So I let him.It’s funny how our problem only started with his rejection of me and his choice of Merry, which at the time felt like the biggest problem I could ever have, only to find out later how wrong I was.Now here we are, seeking support in a land we thought only existed in Fairy Tales, as we find a way to save our people and avoid getting into a war with the Vampires. And to find out that my mother, whom I
