LOGINRhea POVI couldn't believe that after Kilian and the rest left, I actually dozed off to sleep. Yeah, I thought I would stay alert, but I guess I was still so traumatized that I didn’t even know what was going on around me. I was just in a puzzling situation. I tried to stand up from the bed, but my bones still ached. Believe me, the drips and the fruits did nothing. I was suddenly so hungry that I couldn't even control myself. I lost all sense of what I was doing.I opened the door to see the guards already fast asleep. I checked the clock immediately and realized it was already close to midnight. I woke one of them up, letting him know that I was actually going to take a stroll.He nodded."Should I follow you?" he whispered."No, you don't have to. I'm actually fine. In case you don't see me in a while, come and find me in the kitchen," I said to him as he nodded.I found my way to the kitchen silently and realized it was only the guards who were lazy and had fallen asleep. Everyon
Killian POV"You can't be serious right now," Malachi said, laughing like a maniac. "You can't just expect us to—what? To accept your orders? At first, you told us we needed to keep Rhea, right? Because she owed us a debt, and we are doing that. And believe me, it's so fucking hard to do that. And then you brought three total strangers and called them our kongubai. What do you expect us to do? Jubilate about that? Jump around happily? I am not going to, at my young age, accept anything you push at me. Killian can do that, but not me. Believe it, not me!" he said while I just stayed quiet. Rodger still stood there, his gaze fixed on the three women they had just actually called our kongubai. To top it all, my kongubai. It made no sense. This is just stupidity at its highest form because I don't know why you guys have to also tell me what to do with my own love life."Wow! You guys can do whatever you want; you can do that for Killian, but not for me, Rodger. Oh, are you forgetting my n
Killian POVOf course, I remembered very clearly when the council member said I should dress up and come to the showroom, but at this point, I really don't give a fuck. I couldn't understand why I was the alpha and yet I was the one who had to dress perfectly more than everyone around me. It made absolutely no sense to me, and I was not going to do that. The same shirt, no tie, nothing.I made my way towards the showroom as Malachi turned to look at me, puzzled."You really want to go in this? You think you're not gonna cause havoc dressed like this?" he questioned.I shrugged."I really don't care at this point. For God's sake, Malachi, I tried to be so perfect. You guys find fault in it, and now I am trying not to give a damn about them or about anything they're going to say. And now you guys care? I literally don't give a fuck. Whatever it is that wants to happen, should happen. I'm actually ready for their bullshit at this point," I said and pushed open the throne room, not even w
Killian POVWhile I tried to stay calm. "You see Alaric in me? What about what Alaric did to me? Why aren't you guys pointing out that particular part? What he did to me. It's also important. I don't think any of you guys went through what I went through. I guess I am acting so perfect when I am not perfect. Because of all the things I had to fight through. All the things I had to battle with. Isn't it enough? Didn't I try enough? I was still scared. I am still scared. Yes. They say Dad is dead. Where is his dead body? Where? We never got to bury him. We never got to see anything. What if he's watching from a corner and he comes back and makes only me pay for my mistakes and for letting you guys have it the easy way?" I said, still unable to control my feelings."Are you going to give him that chance? That chance of doubt? You're going to let him win over you? Really? You are not that kind of brother. Who would do something as stupid as that? That is the reason why I trust you. And he

Killian POVI opened the door to see Rhea lying on the floor, bleeding and sweating. I could tell she was still alive, but someone would literally call this a dead person. I rushed to her and picked her up as she looked at me, her eyes dull. "Kilian," she muttered, her tone tearing as Rodger stepped forward.I couldn't understand what had gotten into Rodger and why he was suddenly acting so differently. Without even waiting for me to say anything, he picked up Rhea and stepped out. As we both left, I looked at the manager and lifted him with one hand, throwing him to the wall as he fell and lost consciousness, while Malachi held onto this so-called criminal. "He is definitely going to explain why he did something like this."We got back to the palace in no time, and of course, Rhea was taken straight for treatment. The room was heavily guarded. Now it was just me, Rodger, and Malachi sitting in the throne room, trying to come up with a discussion—a settlement to everything. The proble
Malachi POVI realized the pain and grief he must have gone through. “He never got to enjoy his life as a child. Never going to enjoy any of the privileges that Rodger and I got to enjoy. Even a mother’s love. He never got to enjoy it, unlike us. At least we were allowed. We caught some slack becau
Malachi POVThey could not even turn their heads in any direction as they just stood there like soldiers. I kept on calling Rodger's name, silently hoping that he would hear me. But he did not even make any attempt to look in my direction. He looked really scared, as if life had been drawn out of h
Malachi POVI was just sitting down here watching my brothers fight. I wondered why both of them ever seemed to agree with each other. Each one of us has been through tough times, but it does not mean that we always have to fight. They didn't really have to fight too much, and it was all just over
Killian POVWe all sat today. Something felt wrong; something did not feel right about this place, and I needed to know what. But Malachi and Rodger were already seeming impatient, and I did not know what to do anymore. There was nothing I could do as my answer tied. Then all of a sudden, Roja spok
