2024-12-26 20:00:46GALLAHAN’S POV
“Can you stop pacing around?” Maliya asked with exasperation loud in her voice.
I didn’t bother stopping as I replied, “Either you let me walk around in circles or you are going to allow me a bottle of whiskey. Go ahead. Take your pick.”
“Seriously, Gallahan. Relax,” Zuleika chimed in, mindlessly playing with a thin cluster of her curly brown hair.
She wasn’t even looking at me. Her gaze was focused on one of the chairs on the other side of the mahogany table, making it twirl around ceaselessly on one leg.
She was clearly jittery from nerves too. Hypocrite.
“Pot calling the kettle black,” I grumbled. “Besides, how can I relax when they haven’t arrived yet? Only fifteen minutes left befor

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
FATED TO A TYRANT ONE MISTAKE
WILLA’S POV“That’s not true,” I refuted emphatically with a shake of my head. “That’s not true at all.”Gallahan let out a humorless laugh. It was short-lived but it rang heavily with the kind of bitterness that left my own mouth dry.“Please, Willa. Let’s not lie to ourselves. It’s pretty clear to me that my past, my history, and my flaws have always loomed over us. Like a guillotine ready to chop my head off. One wrong move. One failure. Then I’m out. It’s all over for me. The words I heard from you tonight just proved that you have been waiting for me to give you a reason to cut me off.”“No,” I denied, my vehemence making my voice loud and sharp. “It’s not like that, Gallahan! Do you think so little of me?”“Willa…” Gallahan sighed, running his fingers through his mussed-up hair. “It’s not because I think so little of you. And perhaps it’s really not true. But you’ve made me feel that way. Tonight more than ever.”I tried to swallow the growing lump in my throat, but it stubbornl
FATED TO A TYRANT WILTCOVE FOREST
GALLAHAN’S POVWilla’s eyebrows drew together further, deepening the creases in the space between them.Then, ever so slowly, with hesitance weighing the gesture, she reached out a hand and gently brushed her fingers through my hair.“Were you…” She swallowed, her searching gaze wide and soft with concern. “Were you attacked?”I leaned into her touch as if she was my gravity.Her hand gradually slid down until it cupped my cheek, the feel of her palm sending a ripple of warmth all over my body. It was as if she was a furnace thawing away the exhaustion from my bones, and I could almost say for certain that I could take thirty creature hunters all over again because of the affection radiating from her touch.“I was,” I said a little breathlessly. “I fought back, of course. But I was careful and mindful this time. I didn’t kill a single one even though it would’ve been easier for me to just tear them apart and let their blood spill and soak the ground. But I just incapacitated them, Wil
