GALLAHAN’S POV

Willa whirled around so fast in surprise that it almost made me chuckle. But her ashen face and widened eyes withered the huff of amusement away.

A flash of recognition settled on her features, but she managed to school her expression back into neutrality. Still, it was an effort that was a second too late.

“Excuse me,” she said, putting on a saccharine smile. One that I immediately decided to hate with how fake it seemed. “We were having a private conversation.”

But even with the infuriating fake smile that was out of place in her damningly gorgeous face, I was still enthralled by the sight of her.

So unfairly enchanting.

It was obvious how the last several years had been so kind to her. Her hair was still as fiery as ever. Much like who she was. Then there were her beautiful eyes, shining in my favorite color.

Gods, I could finally get the perfect shade of green whenever I would paint her.

She had also gained a bit of weight on her svelte figure, likely a remnant of

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   WRONG

    WILLA’S POVThe showerhead relentlessly rained semi-hot water as I stood beneath it, loving the way it warmed my skin. It was just the right temperature to soothe my irritation with Gallahan and his petty jealousy.For bloody hell’s sake! I was able to look past and even completely move on from my jealousy over his close relationship with Zuleika and Maliya. And yet he couldn’t do the same with my friendship with Lewis!The same Lewis who was a gay man!Ugh.A fresh new wave of annoyance surged in my chest at the mere thought of it.I exhaled loudly as I lathered my body with soap, scrubbing harshly as I remembered I had intended to tell Gallahan how my conversation with Lewis went.I had set boundaries with him in consideration of Gallahan’s feelings, telling my dear friend that since the Fen Cottage was also Gallahan’s home now, Lewis should inform me ahead of time should he wish to visit, instead of coming and going as he pleased like he always did.Lewis was very gracious and unde

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   CIRCLES

    GALLAHAN’S POVWe headed back home to Fen Cottage after an early dinner with my Dad that was mostly filled with silence, broken only by stilted and short-lived conversations here and there. But we could not have left without making promises and assurances to the twins that there would be more trips to Moonshire in the coming days.It was then that Willa and I gently broke the news to them that our family would be moving to the castle in a matter of a few weeks, explaining that it was all for our safety.The twins took it well, so it was another win on our very great day.We would’ve ended everything on a high note, if not for Lewis, who seemed to have been waiting for us for quite some time, given the way he had made himself utterly comfortable on our couch.His posture was relaxed as he sat on the couch, one arm slung over the backrest. Meanwhile, his feet were crossed and propped on top of the coffee table, moving in time with the tune he was humming.“Oh!” His eyes widened for just

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   MUNCHKIN MAGIC

    WILLA’S POVThe following morning came in a blink of an eye. It almost didn’t feel like I had enough hours of good sleep, even though I felt unspeakably comfortable in Gallahan’s arms, basking in his warmth.Or maybe that was why I felt dissatisfied. Because I couldn’t bask in his embrace for much longer, all thanks to the twins who knocked on the door at the same time as if they had every intention of bringing the house down.Their excitement was just buzzing off of them in palpable waves, and I could almost swear it was contagious as I found myself and Gallahan grinning nearly ear to ear.“We’re going today, right?” Calisto asked after swallowing a mouthful of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “Daddy’s going to keep his promise today?”Gallahan shrugged. “I don’t see why I can’t. Unless, of course, Mommy has some objections.”“I don’t,” I said, rolling my eyes at him. But the gesture reeked with disgusting fondness that I somehow couldn’t keep at bay. “So you better finish your

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   COMPROMISE

    GALLAHAN’S POVSurprise was etched deeply on Willa’s face as she gaped at me with lips slightly ajar.Even then, she looked unfairly beautiful, especially as her eyes misted slightly with hints of tears.I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out and tapping her chin playfully while a light chuckle slipped out of me.“Why do you look so surprised?” I asked with mild laughter still tinged in my tone. “And why the hell do you look like you are seconds away from crying?”“Because!” she exclaimed, her voice raising in volume.But she seemed to remember the fact that we had just managed to put the kids back to sleep because she sent a wary glance at the closed door.“Because,” she went again, half-whispering now as she returned her attention to me. “It’s just… you… you…”I lifted an amused brow at her, watching as she floundered with her words.“Yes?” I drawled teasingly, a smirk pulled at my lips.She groaned, giving me a mild glare. But there was no real heat in it. Instead, it just made h

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   EVER SINCE

    WILLA’S POVMy heart weighed heavily in my chest as I listened with horror, pain and anger to a story that had completely changed the trajectory of Gallahan’s life.He ended the tale with the assurance that he was no longer as vengeful and as angry as he once was, but he also told us that to completely forgive humans for what they had done was not on the table at the moment.I didn’t say anything about it. No objection. No comment. Nothing.After all, I had come to terms with the fact that Gallahan had dealt with his pain and trauma in his own way and that I couldn’t force what path of healing he should take. It was his road to choose and his journey to make. My role was to offer him strength and light if he needed it.The stubborn heaviness I felt stayed the same way even after we had managed to lull the twins back to sleep and tuck them back into bed. They still chose to sleep in my room, leaving me and Gallahan the option to sleep beside them or to retire to the spare room in the h

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   MONSTER

    GALLAHAN’S POVWilla prepped sweetened chamomile tea for the two of us and warm milk for the twins before finally joining us in the living room.She handed us our respective drinks and then settled on the opposite end of the couch. The twins were sitting snugly between the two of us, but Gillian was very mindful of keeping a bit of distance from me in consideration of my lingering injury and the balm that was spread evenly all over it.“What are we going to talk about, Dadd?” Gillian asked quietly as she gazed at me with mild curiosity burning in her eyes.“My childhood,” I said vaguely. “But you shall hear a very clean and glazed version of this story. Because my past, the one that goes beyond my years leading a war as the General of the Culling Army, is very violent and traumatic. It’s not quite suitable for your young ears and pure minds. But I will make sure you will still understand Daddy.”“Okay,” Gillian replied as she looked away from me with a pensive look on her face.“I was
