Masuk~EVERETT~The judge turned his icy gaze toward my father, and I froze."Furthermore," the judge continued, his voice heavy and merciless, "in light of the severe threat of dark mind-manipulation, treason, and the murder of Lady Elara... the court finds Arthur GUILTY!" He declared, and my whole world shattered!"NO!" my mother shrieked, collapsing against my shoulder, her body shaking with violent, agonizing sobs.My father’s face went entirely pale, but he kept his head held high, his jaw set firm as the chains rattled around his arms. Lord Silas dropped his head into his hands, a look of utter defeat and hopelessness settling over his weathered face.I couldn't breathe after that… it felt like the air literally refused to enter my lungs, and my chest felt like it was being crushed under a mountain of iron.No, no, no! my mind screamed in pure terror. This can't be happening! They're going to execute him! My dad is going to die, and my mom and I are going to be thrown into the dungeon
~EVERETT~"Hold him back!" the chief judge bellowed but it was too late.To my horror, Zeth lunged at my father, with the intent to kill clearly shining in his eyes, but suddenly--Four heavy court guards threw themselves on Zeth, grabbing his arms and pulling him down to the floor. Zeth thrashed wildly, screaming and spitting at my father, his chest heaving up and down like a rabid beast."You killed her!" Zeth sobbed, with raw tears of rage streaming down his face as the guards pinned him to the stone tiles. "I promised Knox’s mother that I would protect Elara and Knox! I promised her! And you stole Elara from us! You slaughtered my sweet niece!"I sat frozen in my seat, my heart pounding violently against my ribs.Watching Zeth writhe on the floor, watching the hysterical, unhinged grief in his eyes... a chilling wave of horror washed over me.He isn't acting, I realized with a sickening knot in my stomach. Zeth isn't lying for political power right now. He truly, genuinely believe
~EVERETT~They were all clothed in matching, flowy white robes made of a strange, ethereal fabric that seemed to drift in the air even though the wind had stopped. Their faces were pale, perfectly smooth, and completely unreadable.They were just standing there in a silent line, six dark, hollow eyes fixed directly on me.I couldn't move or turn away. I just stood there, paralyzed in terror, staring into the dark eyes of the three white-robed strangers as the silence around us stretched like a tightened blade.Who were they? And why were they staring at me like that?I blinked rapidly to clear my head, and when I looked back… with my eyes searching the stone steps outside the courthouse.They were gone.The three women in the white, flowy robes had vanished into thin air. There was no trace of them, no rustle of fabric, no footsteps on the gravel, nothing.I pressed my trembling palm against my forehead, my breath coming in short, ragged gasps. Am I losing my mind? I thought, panic
~EVERETT~The cold balcony wind blew hard against my face, but I barely felt it. My heart was numbed, heavy as a stone in my chest. I stared down at the marble floorboards where Knox’s heavy boots had stepped just moments ago.I still couldn’t believe the words he had just said to me. Did he truly mean those words? Did he really mean that him forgetting me was meant to be and he had no plans of even trying to get his memories back?I couldn’t believe it. I--"Everett...?"A deep, familiar voice broke the quiet. I turned around quickly, wiping my face with the back of my sleeve. Lord Silas was standing near the arched doorway, his dark cloak wrapped tightly around his shoulders.“Are you ok? Did something happen?”"I'm fine, Lord Silas," I lied immediately, forcing my voice to sound steady. "Just... taking a breath."Silas didn't move. He looked at my pale face, his sharp eyes softening with deep, paternal sadness. He didn't ask another question. He just stepped forward and placed a wa
~EVERETT~I was completely, utterly frozen in shock.I knew Knox was immensely powerful. I had spent months up watching him fight on the ice, watching him beat up other dumb Alphas at the academy. But Knox had never been this powerful!This wasn't just a strong Alpha aura… this was something beyond anything I had ever felt in my life! How was this even possible?! His wolf had been damaged by dark charms, poisoned by silver suppressants, and battered by memory rituals! How could a damaged wolf unleash a power so immense that it forced an entire courtroom of hundreds of Alphas to their knees?!"P-PLEASE!" Zeth’s chief representative gasped out from the floor, his face turning purple, his hands clawing at his neck as he begged for mercy. "AL-ALPHA! PLEASE! RELEASE IT! WE UNDERSTAND! WE UNDERSTAND YOUR POWER! PLEASE!"Knox stood over them for another long, agonizing second, his glowing eyes scanning the crushed crowd, daring a single person to stand up.Nobody moved. Nobody dared to meet
✦✦EVERETT✦✦Knox was dressed in a sleek, dark velvet royal tunic, his golden Alpha aura pulsing quietly around his shoulders. Lewis stood a few steps behind him near the doorway, looking nervous and uneasy.Knox walked down the central stone aisle with calm, dangerous authority. The entire gallery went dead silent, everyone holding their breath as the young Alpha made his way to the front of the courtroom."Alpha Knox, heir to the northern clan," the Chief Magistrate said, bowing his head respectfully as per court protocol to clan heads or heirs. "You are not scheduled to take the stand today.""I am volunteering to testify," Knox declared, his deep voice ringing out like thunder through the quiet hall.Zeth smiled, a sudden flash of hope lighting up his dark eyes. "Knox! My nephew! Tell these fools the truth! Tell them your uncle would never harm you!"Knox didn't even glance at Zeth. He stepped up to the high witness stand, resting his large hands on the marble railing, turning his
~EVERETT~ The clock in my room ticked loudly, like a nervous heartbeat. Every second felt slow and brought me closer to midnight. Closer to him. I spent the hours between the shower and shame staring at the cracked ceiling, my body still buzzing from his kiss. My lips felt tender. My skin
~EVERETT~ The sound of fists hitting flesh was wet and strong. Someone made a noise. Another person cried out. Bodies were knocked backward. I couldn't see much, still pressed against the cold tile, but I heard every strike. Knox moved like a storm of controlled anger. There were three loud thud
~EVERETT~ The silence in the arena was suffocating now. Knox didn't move. He just stood there on the ice, his nostrils flaring as he took in the air. If my scent betrayed my sheer terror, I’m sure everyone here definitely noticed. I was an omega, and right now, I smelled like honey turned sour w
~EVERETT~ I never thought I’d lose my virginity like this. I never thought that the one man who hated me the most in the world would be the same man groaning as he shoved his thick cock into my tight hole for the first time in my life. But it all started a few weeks ago, the day my whole life bega
