His Tenth Breeder: The Lycan King's Saving Grace XLIV: On One Condition
XLIV: On One Condition~ROENNA~I didn't expect it from him.He was the man who ruled an entire territory, whose words could send hundreds of people into motion, whose decisions could change the lives of people he had never met.I didn't expect to find him on his knees before me, his arms wrapped around my waist, looking up at me as though I held something far more valuable than his crown.I kept my head straight, refusing to look down at him.If I did, he would see the tears gathering in my eyes, and I wasn't ready to let him see them. I wasn't ready to give him that part of me when I couldn't even understand what was happening inside my own chest."Roenna." His voice was quiet, and I stared at the wall at the far end of the corridor. "I know I have wronged you since yesterday."My fingers curled against my palms."I ruined a moment that should have been sacred between us. A moment that should have belonged to you and me alone." He paused, and I heard him draw a shaky breath. "Inste
His Tenth Breeder: The Lycan King's Saving Grace XLIII: How Much?
XLIII: HOW MUCH?~XENOS~I knew it was a trap. It was obvious in the way Odessa stood there, waiting for my answer with that carefully composed expression. She had asked the same question twice now, and I knew she wouldn't stop until I gave her something she could use."Your Majesty?" She asked again, but I didn't respond. My attention remained on the woman in my arms.Roenna hadn't moved an inch since I pulled her against me. Her forehead rested against my chest, her fingers curled into my shirt, and her breathing was still uneven.I could hear her heartbeat. It was racing.Every beat pressed against my chest, reminding me that even though she wasn't crying, even though she hadn't shouted or accused me of anything, she wasn't okay.She was far from okay and I hated that I had become one of the reasons for it.Another small hiccup escaped her. My arms tightened instinctively around her waist."Roenna," I whispered, lowering my head, pressing my cheek against her hair. I wanted to a
His Tenth Breeder: The Lycan King's Saving Grace XLII: Having You Closer
XLII: Having You Closer~XENOS~Lowell had silent the moment the document was opened.That was the first thing I noticed.He had walked into my room with the confidence of a man who knew exactly what he was doing, who had gathered enough evidence to expose whatever Odessa was hiding. He had been so certain that the document she presented was fake that he had practically demanded I summon the guards. Yet, the moment the document he had brought was placed before us, he said nothing.He couldn't utter a single word.I looked at him, waiting for his usual sarcastic remark or the cold observation he always made whenever he discovered something that proved him right, but nothing came. He stared at the records with an expression I had rarely seen on his face. His jaw had tightened, his brows were drawn together, and his fingers rested against the edge of the table as though he needed something to hold on to
His Tenth Breeder: The Lycan King's Saving Grace XLI: Lying Evidence
XLI: Lying Evidence~ROENNA~I was in my room when Franca walked in without knocking. “Come with me, Miss Roenna.”“Where?” I looked up from the book on my lap. “Please, Roenna. Just come.”Something in her voice made me close the book. Franca wasn't someone who usually struggled to explain herself, and she certainly wasn't someone who came to my room looking as though she had swallowed a dozen questions.I had barely spoken to her since everything happened. I hadn't spoken to most of my personal maids either, and I knew they had noticed. I simply hadn't found a reason to pretend I was interested in conversation.“What happened?” I asked, getting to my feet.“I'll explain on the way.” She opened the door, leading the way. “Franca,” I called her name and she stopped near the door and looked at me. “I'm not in the mood for games.”“Neither am I.” She sighed. “It's about Odessa.”That was enough to make me follow her.I didn't ask another question as we walked through the palace corri
His Tenth Breeder: The Lycan King's Saving Grace XL: The King's Hand Steps In
XL: The King's Hand Steps In~XENOS~I couldn't stop staring at the document. I read the result again and again.The headings were there, the names were correct.The dates were there. The hospital seal was stamped clearly across the bottom, along with the official Kingdom verification.There was nothing missing. Nothing that immediately looked suspicious. The result was clear.Probability of paternity: 99.99%.My fingers tightened around the paper. Xenon was my son. He was my actual son… not just because he looked like me or something inside me had recognized him or because Odessa had told me.There was a legal document sitting in my hands that said it. I slowly lifted my eyes to Odessa. “You really had this done?”“Yes.” She nodded. “i did this before returning to the palace.”My gaze dropped back to the paper. Five years. “Do you know what would have happened if you had brought another man's child into the palace and called him mine?”“Yes." Her spine straightened. “I would never d

XXXVIII: HERE TO STAY~XENOS~“Roenna.” I called her name, but she didn't look at me.She simply continued eating as though she hadn't just cut me off from the matebond. I stared at her for a few seconds before trying again. “About what you said earlier.”She still said nothing. Her spoon moved calmly across her plate. “Roenna, I'm talking to you.” I said into the mindlink. “I know.” That was all she said.I frowned. “Then answer me.” I didn't even know how to behave right now. I was shocked, in disbelief and entirely confused.“What exactly do you want me to say?”She finally lifted her eyes to mine.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I didn't even know. I wanted her to tell me she wasn't angry. I wanted her to tell me she understood. I wanted her to tell me that Xenon sitting in my place didn't change anything between us, but I couldn't ask her for any of that.I was still trying to understand everything myself. She looked away and continued eating.“Forget it,” I muttered ca
