Nicklaus had been restless since the last council meeting. The words of the elders still echoed in his mind, they were right, confessing to few crimes isn't enough to rule off a serious punishment that could involve banishment or even persecution; if only he could prove that Alonzo and lady Isabella are in alliance with Aragorn, that way, they will all go down together.

Nicklaus has been so restless, he had tried to bury himself in training, but even his sword had failed to silence the storm brewing inside him. So, when the moon rose high and evening fell, he chose to wander into the woods.

The forest was quiet, save for the whispering of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl. Nicklaus walked with his hands clasped behind his back, his mind replaying old burdens.

As peaceful as the walk stretched, his eyes still scanned the darkened path ahead, as though danger lurked behind every shadow.

He didn’t expect trouble, but trouble often had a way of finding him.

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and eight.

    Eva's POV.I had barely slept the previous night, my mind was torn between so many things that it felt like the weight of a thousand stones was pressing down on my chest... Nicklaus’s desperate pleading still echoed in my ears, and my plans with Aragorn.As much as I hated even setting my eyes on him, a small, dangerous part of me knew that I needed him... I needed him for what I was planning.We had arranged to meet the next day, and once I noticed Nicklaus leave the house, I quickly ran out.My heart was pounding, but I forced a calm smile to my lips as I approached the bastard.“There you are,” he said with a slow grin as he stepped towards me too, his eyes gleamed like a predator’s, cold and full of hatred. “I was beginning to think you’d changed your mind, Eva.”I folded my arms across my chest, making sure my expression stayed neutral. “If I said I changed my mind, I wouldn’t be standing here, would I?”He chuckled and came closer. “Good point. But I still can’t trust you... not

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and seven.

    Eva's POV.By the time I got back to the house, my feet felt heavier than my body, every step up the front porch carried not just my extremely tired self but the burden of my thoughts. Aragorn’s words still rang in my head, and though I almost felt bad for even entertaining him, a part of me couldn’t deny the strange sense of control I’d felt in that moment. I had handed him exactly what he wanted to hear, but at the same time, I was crafting my own game.I just prayed Nicklaus wouldn’t be inside the room already; my heart wasn’t strong enough for another round of his questions, his pleading eyes, or his unrelenting persistence. I needed a moment to breathe... alone. I needed to bathe, to scrub away the pain, the lies, the sadness, and everything else weighing down on me.But fate was rarely on my side.The moment I stepped into the room, my heart sank. He was there.Nicklaus stood in the middle of the room, pacing back and forth, his hand was raking through his hair, his lips moving

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and six.

    Eva's POV.The cool evening breeze brushed across my cheeks as I lowered myself onto the rough surface of the stone. It was cold and a little freezy, biting into the back of my thighs, but I welcomed it. At least it was solid, unlike my life right now, which seemed to be crumbling around me like sand slipping through trembling fingers.I wrapped my arms around myself and tilted my head toward the sky, my eyes stung from all the crying, yet tears still forced their way out, hot against my skin.Nicklaus, Nuela, Alonzo and his wife, Aragorn, my head was too full, my heart too heavy. Everything was spiraling, and I... I just wanted a moment where the world would stop demanding so much from me.Just when the next set of fresh tears threatened to roll down, that was when I heard footsteps, and I quickly forced my tears back, I really don't wish for anyone to know what is going on with me, especially not anyone familiar.Whoever it was, a stranger or someone familiar, I hoped they walk past

    Nicklaus didn’t knock.He didn’t even pause to think.The fury roaring inside him left no room for restraint. With one powerful kick, the wooden door of Nuela’s home splintered into pieces, crashing open against the wall with a deafening crack. The hinges groaned in protest before giving way entirely.Nuela jumped slightly at the sudden intrusion, but instead of fear, a sly smile curled across her lips the moment her eyes landed on him.“Well, well,” she purred, deliberately running her hand down her exposed thigh, “I was beginning to wonder how long it would take you to come storming into my little abode.”Nicklaus’s chest heaved, his fists trembling at his sides. The dark aura that usually swirled around him when his powers threatened to spill over flickered faintly, his self control teetering at the edge, he forced it back, his jaw tightening. He could not afford to let his rage consume him, not now, not when Eva was already hurt, already doubting him, he couldn't add murder to the

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and four.

    Eva's POV.I sat on the bed with my knees pulled up to my chest, my face buried in my palms. The room felt colder than usual, my chest ached, my heart felt bruised, and no matter how many times I wiped my eyes, the tears just wouldn’t stop coming. I hated that I was crying, hated that I was giving in to this weakness. But it was too much. The hurt that had been clawing at my chest these past few days finally burst, spilling into unstoppable sobs.I thought I knew Nicklaus. I thought I had him figured out... the man who loved me, the man who swore to protect me, the man who looked at me like I was the only woman in the world. But now… now everything felt like a lie.The door creaked open softly, and I immediately turned my face away, wiping at my tears furiously. I didn’t want him to see me like this. I didn’t want him to know how badly I was breaking.“Eva?” His voice was playful, but teasing mostly, the way he always sounded when he was in one of his moods. He leaned against the door

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and three.

    Eva's POV. I stood at a distance, hiding behind the shadow of a tree across the street, my robe pulled tightly around me as though the evening cold was draining life out of me, but it wasn’t the weather that made me shiver... it was the weight of what I was about to confirm.Nicklaus.I had followed him. Not because I wanted to... goddess knows I hated myself for stooping this low, but because my heart had been restless, suspicious, gnawed by a pain I could no longer ignore. Something in him had changed lately, something I couldn’t name but could feel in the way he touched me.He had walked into this clinic earlier, and I… I had lingered, watching the entrance, waiting, praying that the answer I feared would not come.Now, as he stepped out, I pressed myself deeper into the shadows. His face held a deep frown and that alone sent shivers of fear through my body.What could be going on?Whoever he had come to see… that person had the answers. That person had been the reason for his beh
