GALLAHAN’S POV

“Gallahan!”

My name rang loud and shrill from Maliya’s and Zuleika’s lips.

“It is quite alright, Miss Banfey, Miss Macarius,” Alfiero assured. “I already expected to be met with petulant tantrums even before I agreed to meet for a talk.”

The genial way he addressed both women was instantly wiped away the moment he redirected his attention to me.

He seemed unruffled by the fact that I was demanding for his granddaughter specifically. It left me with two possible scenarios.

One. Willa had told him about us being fated mates.

Or two. He was just damn fucking good at keeping his composure and hiding his real emotions and thoughts.

But I had no habit of believing appearances and weightless words. So I had every intention to pry the truth from him.

“Petulant?” I scoffed. “Perhaps some degree of introspection is needed, Headmaster. Maybe you will realize then that my petulance and impudence, as you have called it, is earned by your blatant disrespect. You ought to honor your wo

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   DISAPPOINTMENT

    WILLA’S POVThe room seemed to stand still as the weight of my words hung heavily in the air. Complete silence cloaked everybody, and it was as if no one could even dare to breathe.But my heartbeat was loud. It pounded so boomingly that I could hear it within my ears and feel it reverberate in my chest.“I, I…” I stammered stupidly when the quietness of the room became too much to bear. My mouth had gone as dry as a dessert, and my throat was quickly closing up.Gallahan looked at me as if he was seeing me in a new light.Whatever kind of light it was, I wasn’t too sure due to the wave of panic that was slowly but surely consuming me. The only thing I was sure of, though, was the palpable shock written so clearly on his face.Finally, he took it upon himself to speak, saving me from having to say anything myself.“You cannot have chosen a much more wrong time for this.”His words made my blood feel cold in my veins, and yet I felt impossibly warmed by the fresh hot wave of embarrassm

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   WORDS

    WILLA'S POVI looked harried. I knew I did. But at the moment, it didn’t matter. Not when I was rushing to be by Gallahan’s side, with Zuleika and Maliya in tow.I had a strong inkling that the Alpha King would make a fuss about Gallahan’s chained-up and muzzled state. It didn’t sit well with me either, but I knew it was necessary to an extent.Gallahan was already a strong and aggressive werewolf as he was. Who knew how much his strength and aggression could grow if the blood of the rogue wolves infected him fully?But even then, I was very much sure that the Alpha King wouldn’t see it that way. He would only see his son, his own flesh and blood and his heir to the Alpha King seat, being mistreated.And if he shared the same temper as Gallahan, he could use this to wage a pack war against my family and Wolverham.While I did not have a shred of doubt that Gallahan would object to such a thing ever happening, especially considering our children and their well-being, I wasn’t entirely

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   INSOLENCE

    Gallahan’s POVNot a single response came out from my lips as I found myself unable to weave a coherent response. I couldn’t even manage a proper reaction.I just went lax on the bed with my blank eyes glued to the pristine white ceiling.Meanwhile, William kept his mouth shut as well in an odd act of compassion, leaving me alone to dwell in my racing thoughts. Because damn it all!I had bollocksed things up again.I had messed up. Again.I did something to jeopardize my place in my family’s life.I let my emotions win and gave the monstrous side of me the leave to take charge and let fucking loose.Maybe Willa was partially right to see me as a cruel man.Fuck.Thoughts of how the twins might look at me after what I did were fleeting in the forefront of my mind, and a harsh pang of pain struck my right at my chest. It was so painful that I had to take a sharp and shuddering breath to ease it.“Hey, Wick?” William called cautiously from his comfortable perch on the armchair.I slowly

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   PAUSE

    WILLA’S POVAs soon as I entered the lounge room, I was welcomed by a soothing scent of freshly steeped tea and a question uttered by a calm and serene voice that had grown familiar to me in the last several days.“The kids?” Zuleika asked without bothering to tear her gaze away from the porcelain tea cups she was filling with golden-hued tea.She and Maliya had quickly arrived in Wolverham after I had desperately asked Sarina to summon them through her spiritual familiar in the wake of Gallahan’s rampage against the rogue wolves and creature hunters. The two witches had then been staying in the Manor ever since.While it was a bit awkward between us at first, I still found that it was good and relieving to have them here.After all, the Alfiero Manor no longer kept any stock of the Wolf’s Draught, the potion that could induce shifting to werewolves, since the end of the war. We had no need for it since…Well…Since there were no longer any war comrades or packmates getting fatally in

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   INFECTION

    GALLAHAN’S POVOnce I noticed that Willa had fled with the twins, I let rage and primal instinct to kill take the wheel. I no longer have any slim shred of care for what would be left of the rogue wolves and the creature hunters once I was through with them.I became an artist of violence, creating a crimson masterpiece as blood painted the surroundings in splash and splotches.My claws dug into the skin and sliced through the flesh of both humans and wolves, tearing out piercing cries and harrowing yowls of agony out of their mouths.The pandemonium and the havoc I had brought upon was likely not that different from hell, where disturbed souls scream and beg for mercy.But unfortunately for these insolent beings, I was no god.I had no mercy to give any of them. Not even a sliver.Especially not to the rogue wolf who had been leering at my Willa as if he had intended to take her from me.I gouged both of its eyes and let the eyeballs roll away without bothering to spare them a glance

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   PANDEMONIUM

    WILLA’S POVMy heart stilled when the attention of every rogue wolf shifted to me. But it went cold and plummeted when their gazes zeroed in on Gillian’s and Calisto’s small cowering forms.Every fiber of my being went alight with my protective instincts.I adjusted my stance, no longer trying to be furtive with my movement, just so I could shield my kids away from the rogue wolves’ view.Or at least shield them as much as I could.Then I sent another warning growl, making sure to put more threat in each gritty note.Gallahan echoed me without hesitation. But the sound coming from him rang louder and deeper that it almost made me shiver.It was a sound that could make any other wolf tuck their tail between their legs. One that told a history of violence. One that promised a grim fate to those that wouldn’t heed his warning.But oddly enough, it had soothed my rabbiting heart. It assured me that everything would be alright. At least for me and for our twins.I couldn’t be too sure I co

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   WRONG MOVE

    WILLA’S POVThe ground beneath my paws as I ran through the trail on the far eastern side of the moorland was familiar. So was the crisp breeze brushing through my pelt while I towed in a slow jog behind two adorable pups that were rough-playing and making each other stumble every now and then.Gillian’s fur was much darker than Calisto’s. She could almost pass a good camouflage in the darkness of the night to anyone with eyes that were less vivid and sensitive. If she could just sharpen her stealth skills, Gillian would be a force to reckon with in hiding and spying. She would make an excellent hunter in the night.Meanwhile, it seemed like Calisto had little to no hope for that. But it wasn’t because he was slightly larger than Gillian, nor was it because his pelt was deep gray and had a very high resemblance with Grandpa’s. It was because he was quite ungainly on four legs. On top of that, he was a little too playful and loud, trotting and hopping and yipping the night away.It was

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   TRIVIAL THINGS

    GALLAHAN’S POVExcitement rang clearly in Calisto’s voice, and when my gaze flickered to his direction, I saw how his round eyes glimmered with eagerness and hope.The ghost of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips was quite endearing, and I couldn’t help but mirror it.Even then, I said as gently as I could, “I don’t know, bud. I think you better ask your Mommy. She’s the boss.”Calisto quickly diverted his attention to Willa. “Mommy, we’re going, right? Right? We have to go on a run tonight. Please?”Willa huffed, closing her book and tossing it aside. But there was fondness in the way she regarded our son, sending a warm buzz beneath my skin.She was a good mother to our twins, and every time I saw things that proved it, no matter how little or trivial it might seem to others, I would always end up feeling so full of affection for her that I often felt that I might just combust on the spot.“We’re going. After all, the full moon is the opportunity for you and Gillian to shift

  • FATED TO A TYRANT   HUMAN MERIT

    GALLAHAN’S POVI didn’t mean to be so cutting with my words.But regardless of intention, I still did anyway.Fortunately for me, the two balls of sweetness and energy were enough as a buffer between Willa and I, saving us from being trapped in suffocating air the following day.Gradually, though, the frigidity between us wore off, and by late afternoon, we found ourselves out in the back garden, having a picnic with the twins. A large red picnic blanket was laid out, and a few charcuterie boards of finger food sat in the middle.It was a good day. Crisp and cold breeze blowing by, ruffling leaves and making them rustle quite audibly. It made a relaxing background noise. Meanwhile, puffy clouds littered the sky, shielding us from the sun that was bound to dip beyond the horizon in less than an hour.If we were in Moonshire, we would’ve been locked indoors as harsh frost took a claim of the territory. Unless, the twins would appreciate a snowball fight while wrapped in multiple layers
