Rosalie’s POV

I shut the door softly, but the sound still felt like a gunshot. My hands trembled as they gripped the handle, the image of Daphne leaning into Nathan searing itself into my brain like a brand. My heart raced while a deep, hollow ache bloomed in my ribs.

I pressed my back to the door, my vision blurring with tears I refused to let fall. I shouldn’t feel this way. I shouldn’t.

But I did.

I felt stupid.

Stupid for thinking I mattered. Stupid for imagining, even for a second, that Nathan could be different. That he could choose me. That there was even a choice to be made.

Hadn’t he made it clear from the start?

He didn’t feel anything for me. He loved her.

So why did seeing them together make me feel like I was shattering into pieces? Why did it feel like my heart had been taken out of my chest and stomped on, over and over, until there was nothing left but dust?

I was nothing. A placeholder. A temporary name on paper until he could officially be with the woman he

    Rosalia's POV “I’m sure you know who this is Rosalia, the royal seer” he paused, noticing a figure next to her.Her face was hidden behind a cloak, I had my suspicions on who she was but I forced myself to remain unfazed.“You don't have to worry about her Alpha, she's someone I trust to help” the seer quickly clarified as the alpha gaze lingered."Make sure no one else finds out about this," Alpha Kincaid ordered.The Seer bowed deeply, her hands folded in front of her. “Your wish is my command, Alpha.”“I don't have much time, use any means necessary to ensure she gets her powers back.”My stomach twisted.The Seer glanced at me then her gaze unreadable. She stepped forward slowly, eyes narrowing as if she could see right through my skin.“Judging from her aura,” she said carefully, “her powers remain dormant. But I sense something. It's faint. I have something in mind… something drastic but I hope it will work.”Alpha Kincaid nodded. “As long as she's able to heal me I have no pro

    Rosalia's POV I leaned against the wall beside me, arms crossed, watching the hospital hallway like it might swallow us whole. His eyes flicked toward me, something unreadable behind them.“I’ve never seen a display like that before,” he said finally, voice low.I pulled my arms tighter around myself, still wired from the chaos. My heart hadn’t slowed since we got here. “It’s absurd,” I muttered. “That I had to go to such lengths just to help someone. She’s a person. Not a title. Not a rank. Just someone who needed help.”He didn’t say anything to that.His silence stretched until I looked up and met his eyes. He studied me again, like he was trying to solve a puzzle he didn’t quite understand. Then he straightened and pushed off the wall.“I have to leave,” he said. “I’ll get a driver to take you back. I know you’re not going anywhere while she’s still in there.”“No,” I said softly. “I’m not.”He nodded, like he expected that. “Alright. I’ll send someone soon.”“Thank you, Damon,”

    Rosalia's POV For some reason, I couldn't find Brad.And he wasn't answering his phone either. My anxiety was killing me.But it wasn't enough to devour the fear I felt, after the last incident in the hospital I was scared to go alone.I still needed a blood sample from Nathan which I'm sure Brad could get easily.I let out a breath feeling a bit frustrated. I didn't know why I wanted to rat Daphne out so bad.Maybe because she had toyed with my life for so long I finally got to do the same or Nathan…A knock on the door snapped me out of the thought. I stopped pacing then stalked to the door and opened it.“Lana,” I breathed, surprised.My maid stood there, hands folded in front of her apron, her dark eyes darting briefly behind me before settling on my face.“I came to get you ready,” she said quietly. “The Alpha has returned.”My stomach dropped.“What?” My voice came out flat.She nodded once. “He’s to be released from the hospital.”I felt my throat tighten. I forced myself to s

    Rosalia's POV“What did you do to her!?” he barked, his voice cutting through the air like a whip.I froze.“What?” I blinked in disbelief, taking a step back as if the sheer weight of his accusation could crush me. “I didn’t do anything.”But he wasn’t listening. He stormed past me, his eyes wide and wild with panic.“Klaus!” I called after him, following as he threw open Lily’s door.There she was—sitting on the edge of her chaise, clutching her stomach like she was the innocent victim in a tragic play. Tears shimmered in her eyes, and her lips trembled as if she’d just been through war.“My god, Lily.” Klaus was by her side in seconds, crouching in front of her. “What happened?”Lily sniffled, voice trembling with well-practiced fragility. “I-it’s my fault. I just… I wanted to make things right with Kayla.”I stepped into the doorway, my heart pounding in my chest. “Klaus, she’s twisting everything—”“She wouldn’t take anything I brought,” Lily continued weakly, ignoring me complet

    Author's POV BRADThe glass hung in-between his thumb and index finger, the amber liquid swirling in his glass with a slow, absent rhythm. The soft clinks of ice against glass were the only sound he truly heard. The sky was beautiful that night but he couldn't appreciate it. They looked plain compared to her eyes.His heart ached more than usual tonight.He had told himself countless times that he was over it. That he’d moved past the feelings. That watching Rosalie fall again and again into Nathan’s arms didn’t break something inside him.But it did. Every single time.And this was the consequence of suppressing those feelings.He took another sip, letting the burn slide down his throat like punishment. Maybe he deserved it. For still hoping.He never met a couple so toxic but still inseparable.Brad clenched his jaw, shutting his eyes for a moment. His memories assaulted him, taking him back to the first time in those woods.He finally had the cour

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 117

    Rosalie’s POV I had to clasp my hand around my mouth to stop my gasp from escaping.I couldn’t breathe.My heart thundered in my chest. Every day Daphne always came up with new ways of manipulation.And she was doing the same to Damien.“Are you serious Daphne?” Damien questioned. I placed one foot to the other walking away quietly before they could notice.The rest of the conversation wasn't important, I had to tell Nathan…But he wouldn't believe me.He never did.This was the first time the ball was in my court, I couldn't miss.I needed proof of this, Daphne was cunning if she found out I knew I wouldn't be able to prove it.I retraced my steps back to the table. “Well you've returned” Aunt Lucia remarked and I nodded.“Yes, we might not get this chance again” I lied and instead of settling in my chair, I took the one next to the spot Daphne was to sit on.Two things could be at play here, either Daphne was manipulating Nathan or lying to Damien.I had to be certain before throw
