CHAPTER 34

ERIC’S POV

No…

That shouldn’t be an option at all. What was wrong with me? How could I even consider something like that? She was the reason for this. Everything I was doing right now was for her. If she hadn’t come to this place, if she hadn’t come into my life, I don’t think I would have ever had the courage to quit this job—the courage to do what I was doing now.

Nolan must have threatened her. That was the reason she was like this, so shaken, frightened, and afraid. That’s just what Nolan does to all of them. He preys on them, instills fear in them, and breaks them both physically, emotionally, and mentally so they turn out like puppets controlled by him.

I can’t let Adrianna suffer that fate. I must do everything to help her, to snap her out of this.

“Listen, Adrianna,” I said as I crouched close to her again. “No one is going to catch us. I give you my word. I’ve made sure of that. The maids are asleep in their quarters, and the guards are in the bar drinki

    CHAPTER 85ADRIANNA’S POVThe next morning, after preparing for the day, I went in search of Eric. I promised to come find him first thing the next morning and spend the whole day with him. And I was going to do just that. But when I reached his chambers, the door was open. Eric was nowhere in sight, only two maids moving quietly about as they tidied the room. My brows drew together as a slow frown crept across my face, the small spark of excitement I’d carried with me dimming in an instant. Where could he have gone so early… without waiting for me, without even sending a word? It was so unlike him.“Goodmorning…” I tried to steady the tremor in my voice, “please, where is His Highness?” I stood at the doorway, bracing myself for their answer.They glanced up at me before switching glances, their eyes flickering in confusion. But one of them, the one with a messy bun and freckles on the pale skin of her face answered, “he has a meeting with the Queen at the lounge.”“Oh..” The moment

    CHAPTER 84ERIC’S POVWhen we left my late father’s chamber, everyone was quiet and deep in thought. My mother had become an emotional wreck. She could barely even walk on her own. The maids had to support her.Seeing her in such a weak state, I didn’t press her further for answers and explanations on why they abandoned and never bothered looking for me all those years. She wasn’t in the right state of mind to speak let alone answer questions. Even though the urge burned within me, I had to restrain myself.She had mentioned a lot of things: My father’s body will be taken away later in the evening for embalming. His death will be kept a secret for a short while until arrangements are made to prevent chaos. From tomorrow henceforth, we will have to wear black till after his funeral as the tradition demands.But what caught my attention the most and made my heart thump was the part where she said I will be proclaimed the new king in a few days, and my coronation will be held not more th

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   Unfeeling

    CHAPTER 83ERIC’S POVI drew in a sharp breath and forced myself to move forward, step by step, until I was standing at the edge of the bed, mere inches apart from him. His eyes were closed peacefully, like those of someone who had drifted into an eternal slumber. My eyes roamed his face, desperately searching for traces of myself in him—the shape of his nose, the line of his jaw, the faint furrow of his brows. But it was hard to notice all that with him lying lifeless before me. It was hard to accept but the truth was undeniable, the reality crashing down on me like a ton of bricks—he will never open his eyes, he will never see what I looked like in person, I will never hear his voice and I will never know the kind of man he was.He looked smaller than I imagined, his body shrunken from old age, sickness, and death. Though dressed in extravagant robes of deep crimson and gold, the garb of a king, his skin did nothing to add to the sheen. It was ghostly pale with age lines, and his

    CHAPTER 82ERIC’S POV“Your father… is dead,” the words broke out miserably from her lips, her head bowed and her body slumped in despair.I froze, drawing a sharp breath. A subtle gasp from Adrianna was heard, followed by a deep, unsettling wave of silence engulfing the castle.I didn’t expect to hear that. I know Coach Steele had told me he wasn’t well but I didn’t think he'd die so soon. More than anything, I wanted to see my father. I wanted to know the kind of man he was. I wanted to see if he ever thought of me. Know if he ever regretted casting me aside. I wanted to know if I would recognize some parts of myself in him—in his eyes, voice, and his ways. I wanted to know if he ever truly loved me, even if it was a little. Even if it were silently. So many things to ask and find out about but all of them will remain nothing but questions carved into my soul, forever unanswered because the cold hands of death had snatched him before I could arrive.“I’m sorry, Eric. But he couldn’

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Confrontation

    CHAPTER 81 ERIC’S POV “Eric…” Her voice wavered somewhat emotionally as she called my name, before reaching out and pulling me into an unexpected hug. But I didn’t hug her back. I just stood there, barely moving, reeling in the shock of seeing her and the painful sting of betrayal that seared my heart. It was clear she was my mother. I didn’t quite expect this to be the first thing she would do on seeing her long-lost son. The son she dumped like garbage and forgot about. She hugged me like I hadn’t been away for ages, like she’d known me forever. When she pulled away from the hug, she stepped back, settling in her initial position. She cleared her throat slightly and tried to regain her composure. The sight of me and that hug had probably stirred emotions. “You look well,” she said. Was she expecting me not to? “Thank goodness you made it safe and sound. Where is your luggage?” She asked, her eyes flicking to my sides, scanning around before they fell on Simon. “Did y

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Arrival

    CHAPTER 80 ERIC’S POV It was a dark sedan, discreet, not so showy or flashy as to attract much attention. It also had tinted windows, so you couldn’t see who was inside. I liked it that way. It wouldn’t draw the wrong kind of eyes, and no one would notice Adrianna and me were inside on our way. We went outside. As we did, I took Adrianna’s hand in mine, holding tightly as though if I let go I might end up losing her forever, trying to fight back the anxiety churning in my gut. She looked up at me and smiled, the look on her crystal blue eyes soft and reassuring. The driver was a tall, middle-aged man dressed in a simple black suit. He had a kind face, his smile quick and easy as he tipped his cap in greeting. He introduced himself as Simon, the Blackwell family’s chauffeur, and helped pack the few things we brought with us into the car. “Thank you for everything,” I heard Adrianna say to Coach Steele, her voice filled with genuine gratitude. “Honestly… I can’t thank you enou
