Kilan was the first to speak, and he was barely audible, “What happened here?“ He asked, tears garnering up in his hazel eyes. It was the first hazel eyes Rizine ever came across, and it was alluring and held a dose of warmth a few minutes ago in their palace. Right now, all his eyes held were tears and unanswered questions.
She was trembling and she hated it. And one swipe of her gaze over her appearance, she thought she looked like the culprit. Her hands were covered in blood, she was shaking in fear, she couldn't say a single word in her defense, and just let them judge her with their eyes. She looked guilty, even when she wasn't.
It was unfair to her the way they were reacting right now. How could they not let her speak first before tagging her as the murderer? Even without them saying it, she could see it in their eyes. And it only made her lack the coordination to speak up for herself.
“What did you do?!“ This time, it was Milan's glacial voice sending shudders down her spine. She glanced up at him, and ample tears rolled down her eyes.
Milan had green eyes, and they held a mystic aura and had a depth that drowns you in. Those green eyes were squinting fire at her right now, and she felt burnt under his smoldering gaze.
“I didn't–“
Tears clogged her voice and she found it impossible to say everything she badly needed to say. If only she wasn't crying so much, then maybe she could tell them how innocent she was. But her tears were making it hard for her to speak.
”The hell you didn't!“ Milan howled, baring his claws, ready to pounce on her.
Watching him almost shift into his wolf form kicked in her self-defense and she quickly began taking steps backward. His claws were sticking out, ready to wound around her neck. She feared what he might do to her if she stood there any longer.
“Don't you dare take another step!” Kilan yelled at her, forcing her to a halt.
He was trying to keep his brother from losing his mind and probably killing her in cold blood. At the same time, he was keeping an eye on her so she doesn't run away. She, the supposed murderer of his Father.
“Let go of me, Kilan. Fucking let go!“ Milan howled murderously but his brother held him tighter.
”If you kill her right now, then that's not the justice Father deserves. We got to let the whole world know what she did to us. Then we punish her according to our law, bro,” Kilan said, hoping that'll bring Milan back to his senses.
Milan eased, but his gaze was still on Rizine, burning her up in flames.
Rizine was weak at the knees and slumped on the ground, tears rolling profusely down her eyes. She hadn't seen this twist coming. Nothing prepared her for this moment, so right now, she wasn't sure how to react.
She was forced to snap out of her thoughts when she realized she was surrounded by warriors. With their stance and the reverence they gave the twins, she could tell they were the warriors from the twins' pack.
“Take her to the pack dungeon,“ Milan ordered, pointing at her like she was a piece of garbage.
“I didn't kill him–” Rizine tried again to come to her rescue, but she was already scooped from the ground and was getting dragged away.
Kilan could not keep his tears in check. He walked over to his Father's corpse and bent over to close his eyes. He'd died with his eyes open, not a befitting death for an Alpha.
“Take him to the morgue. Get him dressed and ready to be cremated,“ Kilan said amidst tears. He stood and turned to his brother, Milan.
Milan said no words and no tears left his eyes either. But you could see the rage in his clenched jaw and his red eyes with the hunger to kill.
Milan was legendary for his temper. He was never one who was big on showing his emotions. Kilan, however, was the softie between the two. Crying came easy to him, and so does goof around.
They returned to the palace and broke the news to the palace council and the elders. Sounds of wailing and screaming filled the pack. It was a hell of a night for everyone, a dark, bitter night.
Alpha Jared would always be remembered and his death would never go unavenged. That's for sure.
Milan was graced on his chair in the study he shares with his brother. It was the wake-keeping of his Father. According to their law, when an Alpha dies, he gets buried the next day.
Kilan was over there, organizing the event but Milan couldn't bring himself to attend. He stayed locked up in his study, dressed in a black robe which was the significance of his mourning.
Brooding and fucking lost in thought, he didn't notice the door open. Damon walked in, sliding into one of the leather seats.
“Bro,“ He snapped his fingers on Milan's face, jolting him from his thoughts.
Milan sighed heavily, leaning back on his chair, “What are you doing in here? You should be helping Kilan out,”
Damon was his and Kilan's Beta. More than that, he was their best friend. They all go way back to their toddler days.
“Kilan is holding up great. He got everything under control. I came to check on you,“
”You didn't have to. I'm sane,” Milan blurted out, emphasizing that he wasn't suicidal so he didn't have to be checked on.
”You might be sane, but your mind isn't with you. What's eating you up?“
“I just lost my Father, go figure,“
“Don't play dumb with me, man. It's more than that. I know there's something down there, something you don't wanna talk about,“
Milan puffed, staring at the ceiling with his fingers intertwined and his head resting on the seat.
Damon was right. Something was eating him up. It was her, the damned frail girl who seemed like a damsel in distress and swept him off his feet. Only to run off and murder his Father in cold blood.
He felt stupid, used, played with, insulted, and broken. The first time he was feeling a sort of attraction to a girl and it has such a catastrophic ending. He was more than eager to make her stay with them. She had him intrigued at first sight and he hadn't hesitated in chasing that unknown feeling.
And for what? To get his Father killed? Right now, he was furious and wanted nothing more than to snap her neck. But deep down, that feeling still lingered. He still found her mesmerizing. And that's what was eating him up.
She was a murderer, killed his Father, and made a fool out of them. Still, his stupid heart raced a mile at the thought of her. And there was this connection he felt towards her that he still wanted to unravel. Kilan feels it too. But he thinks he feels it more.
“I'm such an idiot, man,“ Milan admitted to Damon, shutting his eyes briefly in immense pain. The biggest idiot in the world, that's what he was.

The unstoppable marching of time could be both terrifying and beautiful at the same time. What life has taught reason was kept embedded in her mind as she continued to go on with her life, still trying hard to keep control. There are times that she'll be at her lowest, but then, she makes sure that as she aims, she would always have her gun reload. It was to keep her ready for whatever obstacle she might face. The past few days doesn't stress her out that much, actually, but it wasn't enough to keep her mind at ease. She was still bothered about something which she just couldn't figure out. Years had passed by. It was like her head banged hard on the wall too many times as she massaged it. Rizine woke up from her sleep she stood up slowly and carefully. "Help! Please, help me!"Her brows furrowed as she became confused about where that voice is coming from. She stood by the mirror and could even see her reflection, it was showing how confused and terrified she was. She thought
The days seems like they were fast approaching. There are times when no matter how Rizine tries, her predictions about what the future might be would always pictured in her mind blurred. It bothers her to the core, yet she also knows that there's nothing that she could do about it. And stressing herself about whatever might happen to the future doesn't sound worth it.She was just wasting time if she would rather give all her time and attention thinking about the future rather than focusing on her present life. Getting back her rightful position never seemed so satisfying and right for her part. She was living her life with glee as she used all her power to give her sons a great life to live. Nothing makes her at ease more than seeing her son's smiles as they grow as time passes by. Rizine frankly stared at her reflection in the mirror. The whole bathroom felt cold and blank as she just blankly stared at how she looked so turned even though she had just woken up. It was already l
"Sorry..." Aliyah pleaded and get on her knees.Aliyah had lost too much blood, and she knows that her life would end soon. Because her body had experienced so much she had been injured badly. She wanted to get the pardon Rizine before she would die. Because once she knows that her sister could not forgive her she can't rest in peace.Aliyah knows that she had a huge fault and she can't blame her sister if she was so angry at her. She can only blame herself for everything, she doesn't know what she could do. She was too careless in everything that she did. She knows that she didn't think enough before she agreed on the plan of Kristine. Aliyah was just blinded by the promises and beautiful words of Kristine since she was also blinded by love. The only thing that Aliyah wanted is to be loved by the person that she loved that is Milan and Kilan"No!" Rizine said.Rizine thinks that she could not forgive her sister for almost killing her babies. She knows that she might forgive her som
When Kristine is not moving anymore because of the injuries that she had. Aliyah immediately took the babies and run with them. She immediately took the chance to be able to run away and save the babies."You are now safe!", Aliyah told them.Aliyah's wounds were bleeding all over her, blood was dripping on the soil. While her injuries hurt, she still runs away as fast as possible to get away from Kristine.Because she needed to bring the babies to the pack. Before Kristine would be able to catch up with them. She needed to save the babies and fix all of her mistakes. The babies are innocent and have nothing to do with the anger that she felt towards them. Kristine would do everything to make sure that the babies would be safe, while she was enduring the pain of her injuries.On the side, while Aliyah was running away from Kristine. Kristine called her guards out to tell them to find Aliyah.Kristine wanted to kill Aliyah because she didn't realize that a mere slave like her would be
After Aliyah realize her mistake and felt guilt for what she did. She immediately left the pack without thinking of a plan for how she would be able to get back the babies. Because she knows that Kristine won't let go of the babies that easily. She would have a hard time getting back the babies, but she would do everything she could do to be able to get them back. Because she now realizes that the babies are innocent and have things to do with it, between them and their parents.Aliyah knows her mistake and wants to make it up. She would do everything to make things good again and bring back the babies at all costs."Kristine!" Aliyah called out as she saw her.Kristine was pushing the stroller with the babies on it. She smirked as she saw Aliyah because she thought that by now Rizine might be dead. Because the potion that she had given to Aliyah might start working. Since Kristine saw Aliyah as a slow head woman. Since she could immediately make lies fed up on Aliyah's head, she know
