ROMAN.

Two days has passed since all of the recent events, and yet in many ways, I still feel stuck.

"The funeral is already set," August tells me as we make our way to the balcony with the perfect view of the training grounds. "The body has been prepped for cremation. Everyone has been incredibly... supportive."

"And by supportive, you mean?"

"They know that Hyden has never been the good guy." August looks conflicted. "Look. I have never heard anyone say that he was murdered in cold blood. Everyone understands that it was self defense. No one has talked about Monica that way."

I know that he's not lying. Over the past couple of days, many people have come to the palace with flowers, but not for Hyden. For Monica. They’ve expressed their sympathy over what happened, and it's helped a lot. Monica has become a little bit more sure of herself, more eager to train. More eager to move on.

That's actually where we're heading now, to see how she's doing in training.

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Thirty-Six

    ROMAN.Days pass.The forest is now locked now, barring anyone and everyone from entering. Even those who used to travel there for trade have been given different routes. The Creatures don’t hunt now. They’re being provided with fresh food every single day. All the portals in the land have been listed down, updated to their exact images and locations.And so far, nothing bad has happened.Even with my… problem.That hunger wasn’t as persistent as I thought, thankfully. I could still be around other people without feeling an urge. But sometimes, when I’m alone, it creeps in. I get the strange taste in my mouth, like I’m already savoring blood before I can even get access to it.But it should be fine. Maybe it’s all in my head.That’s what I tell myself anyway as I look through the old books that August and I got from the northern library before. It’s all under the guise of looking for information about the portals.Monica is the one assisting me right now. Her scent is… not making me f

    ROMAN.I blink a couple of times. Surely this might be something that my mind is just making up. There’s no way I actually want to harm the baby.I stare at her, smiling and raising a hand to touch her cheek. Maria just carefully places her in my arms in a very comfortable position. I feel a rush of protectiveness for Gracie, but at the same time, that strange feeling is also starting to kick in again.“You can take her back,” I stammer, not sure what to do. I hand the baby back to Maria, my body suddenly warm. Mg forehead is covered in a thin sheet of sweat and my stomach is rumbling. “I… I don’t think I know how to hold a baby properly.”I gently put Gracie back in Maria’s arms. She’s crying now, her little face scrunched up in confusion. The paranoid part of me thinks that she can sense the evil thing in me that’s wanting to consume her and it scares her to no end. The rational part of me says that this can’t be true, but overall I’m just starting to panic.Gracie starts to calm do

    ROMAN.It’s been horrible enough being stuck there wrapped in vines next to a dead body, and but it proves to be a better option than seeing the woman you love bleeding because she helped you, at the risk of your children.And as though things can’t get any worse, Monica takes one look at me and passes out in my arms.The next events are a blur after that. We all take her back to the infirmary this time, under the strict care of August. All the nurses are scrambling around her, and I just stand uselessly at the side, watching them do all the work.All I can think about is Monica and our baby. And how fucking stupid I am for putting them in that situation.I know why August called her. Because when he tried to take off the vines himself, they wouldn’t come off. They cut into my flesh and even now that the wounds healed, I can still feel the ghost of them digging into my skin, filling me with the strange sensation they did before. That thirst, that need to consume something….“Roman.”My

    MONICA."What?" I splutter.Even as August just said that, I can't help but think back to what I saw when I thought I entered the portal. The world turning black, the vines twisting on the ground like a bunch of black snakes....How did they manage to get to the real world like that?"Let's go," I say, pushing past him and walking out into the hallway before anyone can stop me."Monica!" Mom calls out after me. I can hear her footsteps behind me, getting faster and faster as I descend the steps. "Monica, you have to think about the baby.""I am trying to think about the baby, and I can't do that if I'm just going to sit still while something happens to the father," I snap, pushing past the guards who are trying to block me. "Get out of my way!""Why did you have to tell her?" Mom demands at August behind me. "You know that she shouldn't be involved in things like this! What would Roman say?"August doesn't say anything. I know that August is smart enough to know that Roman wouldn't be

    MONICA.My dreams are fragmented. Spliced into so many pieces that it doesn’t feel like a dream. I’m being constantly thrown from one image to another, shifting so fast that I can’t understand anything.At first, I see the portal. Then, the man who spoke to me. I see the silver wolves, the vines, and Roman’s face… until it morphs to Janus’s face.We’re once again back in the room with him in that robe, his mask lying on the mattress. Larissa’s body is on the floor, slowly oozing blood. He’s staring at it, then he turns to me.“It’s a shame, isn’t it?” He lets out a dry laugh and shakes his head. “All that death, all that carnage… and for what? For you to be back where you started? The wife of a man who never really achieved anything. A Queen for a man who does not deserve to be called a King.”“Yeah, and you think you deserve it, right?” I ask him, my voice strangely echoing in the walls. “You think you’re just the man for the throne.”Janus touches the mask next to him. “I do.

    ROMAN.“I have no clue what you mean,” I say, starting to get a little annoyed. “Can you just promise me that you won’t wander around and make us worry like that? Especially Monica. She’s pregnant.”“I know that,” she says with a sigh. “I just wanted to let you know. It’s dangerous out there. Something else is among us.”I want to believe her. I know that she won’t come to me if she didn’t feel like this was right, but I can’t help but doubt her. Maybe it’s just my need to have everything stay in this perfectly danger-free state. I’m going to have a child and I want everything to be safe.But with that in mind, it would just make sense for me to see this through.If I prove that something is up, then I can get to the bottom of it.If I prove that nothing is going on, then I can focus on keeping Katherine and the Creatures away from the woods and distanced from trouble.“Take me back to the portal where you saw this place,” I say. “You and me alone. Don’t take the others with you.”The
