MATTHEW POVI am no longer in the mood right now. Everything seems to fall apart. I never get the chance to have some alone time to think about Rhea. As soon as the lunch was done, I went to my fucking horse again to see if there is something wrong with it. I caressed the body of my horse and talked to it as if it were a human, "Hey buddy, you okay? We had a weird experience earlier but I hope it will the the last time we experience it. I really thought we were not going to escape.""Really? And what was that weird? Why haven't you told us about it during lunch bro?"I turned around and I saw Denmark gleamingly smiling at me. I was shocked by his sudden appearance. I did not hear his footsteps as he came near me. Was it because I was lost in thoughts or did he like to move unnoticed? Either way, I smiled at him. "Hey, what's up! How long have you been there and not talking?""I just arrived Matthew, but I wonder what were you talking about? Is there something wrong that you have bee
MATTHEW POV"Rule this damn nation? Yes, can still do that, but I've got a plan to change everything, Matthew. And this plan will never work unless you are going to help me and Zeus to make it happen."The way Denmark looked at me, I think he was really up to something. While I can't deny that he is the smartest among the three of us siblings, he is also the most cunning, to say the least. Trusting him and his plans might put me in danger but I think I should give him a chance to negotiate with me. "And what is your plan? Make sure it is not something stupid."He grinned like a devil, "Just relax! I am not trying to brag or anything of that nature, but this plan is going to work. Trust me, I've got your back. Now let us talk about it with Zeus on the border of the sea."Suddenly, Zeus went down from the tree above us. It really shocked me to the point where I almost got peed. "What the fuck is wrong with you huh? How long have you been hiding in the tree?" I asked in surprise. Inst
MATTHEW POV"Bro, you have to be enlightened, you are still in love with Rhea, right? Do you still believe that she is alive somewhere in this vast world? And the worst part of this is, you don't really love Cindy and wanted to get rid of her but she is your only way to become the ruler of this nation," Denmark frankly said. My mind and heart started to get confused. I wanted to make the right decision and avoid hurting anyone as much as possible, but in the end, I knew my father would stop at nothing until he achieved what he wanted. "Your silence proves to me that you wanted to do the right thing. Come on Matthew, what's holding you back? We should not argue about this anymore. Why don't you just accept the fact that our main enemy is our flesh and blood... our devil father dressed in human clothing?"Denmark really wanted to push me to hate Dad, but my conscience was the only thing holding me back right now."Bro, this is now or never. Don't worry about making your hands dirty, y
RHEA POV"Listen to me, I did not want you to engage in this fight. You are a woman and you are not obliged to protect me.""Trust me Atlas, I can do it... I just can't hide on your back from time to time.""And what are you two fighting about huh?" Prince Malik asked, smirking because he thought he had the assurance of claiming the victory, "Is this some kind of trivial matter? Or you've got something up your sleeves? Honestly speaking, what is the point of creating a plan when the result is just the same? Surrender now and kneel before me so I can give both of you a painless fucking death?""Why don't you shut up your mouth instead? Seriously speaking, you are using your armies to fight me instead of you? What a shame! Hiding on someone's back, are you really worthy to be called the prince?"In anger, Prince Malik unsheathes his sword and points it at Atlas, "How dare you insult and disrespect a prince like me in front of my army? I will cut off your head and feed you to the beasts
RHEA POV"Okay this is it Rhea," I murmured again, trying to pacify myself in this difficult and complicated situation. I fought them with the best I've got, I managed to take down some of them but it wears the hell out of me. In the end, I already kneeled down on my knees and closed my eyes as I accepted my faith. "Do you have any last words before your last breath?"I closed my eyes and did not answer him even though the edge of his sword was already in my throat, so when he was about to cut off my head, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up. "Get your filthy sword off of her," I tried finding the voice, I am sure it really sounds familiar. Then I heard several footsteps from behind. "It's you Jared and Carlo," I said in surprise, followed by a question. "What are you doing in here?"Jared smirked at me, "Don't assume that we've come here to save you. We are here because we want to protect Atlas and we realized that what is important to him is important to us."As soon as I blinked
RHEA POVHe let out a frustrated sigh, "I seriously can't understand girls like you sometimes. Just because a guy cared for you does not necessarily mean that they've got feelings for you as well. Atlas might act kind to you but-""Trust me, I am still in love with my former mate who rejected me in front of his father. His name is Matthew but I still believe that he rejected me to please his father who hated me so much.""And then what? Why are you telling me about something I did not care about?""It's because I just want you to realize that I have a feeling for someone else.""Cut the crap, if you want to rebuild this cabin, you should do it yourself. I am not having pity on the likes of you, damn witch. But the question is, how are you going to rebuild this place if you have no idea how to do it? You fool!"I still smiled even though he is trying to put me down, "Well, I was an omega who had been a slave for many years. And because of my rank, I was even obliged to help rebuild som
RHEA POV"D... don't worry about Joe... he is not really one you should be concerned about. He knows where to find us," Atlas said, I could barely hear him speak because of his energy. I guess it's because of his wounds, that is why he's having a hard time speaking clearly. Without hesitation, I joined them and we went to Jared's cabin which is slightly far from Atlas' cabin. Unlike the cabin of Atlas, Jared's house is slightly wide and there are a lot of rogues living inside. It was well lit with torches attached on every corner. Silence filled the area when they saw me with Atlas and Jared. "The fuck! What is that girl doing in here?" a man with an eyepatch said, making me nervous with his intimidating voice. "She ain't an enemy of us anymore. In fact, she's going to stay here as long as Atlas wants. Now, Aamon, you should give her respect if you don't want to be punished by Atlas.""But she has the blood of a witch running through her veins. It goes without saying that we shoul
RHEA POVAfter we arrived behind the tree, I started talking to him. "So what are you going to say now?" I said, making a straight face to him. "Let us discuss about that Matthew, your supposed fated mate who rejected you.""And what about him?" I started to get confused, he seemed to know something that I didn't. "I want you to listen carefully because I am going to say it just once. I can help you reunite with Matthew again, I know it's pretty damn hard for you to trust in me but I can use a horse to leave this place. Don't get the wrong idea, though! I am helping you not because I want to, but because I simply can't let you stay here for a long time. Can't you see? The people in this area are totally against you! You're just simply alone without Atlas.""What? Atlas would be upset if I leave-""Then just don't say a word to him. Disappear without asking him for permission," he snapped. "Why would I even do that? He has been so kind to me ever since so what makes you think that
