تسجيل الدخولZenith's Pov My forehead remained pressed against the curve of Silas’s shoulder, breath coming out harder than I could control. The heat of his skin still lingered under my palm where my hand had slipped beneath his shirt, and the scent of him filled every breath I took. The shrill ringing continued, and it only spiked up irritation in me. Of all moments. Sighing sharply, I forced myself to pull away, slipping my hand out of his shirt and getting off him, hating the loss of contact immediately. I stayed a bit close for one more second, breathing him in, before I finally pushed myself off the bed and fished the phone out of my pocket. The name on the screen made my jaw tighten immediately. Of course it had to be him. Clicking the answer button I placed the phone to my ear. “This had better be worth your life.” A familiar, unbothered scoff came through the line. “Good afternoon to you too, dear brother.” “I’m busy.” I growled. “Busy with what?” I didn’t answer. Instead my
Silas's Pov •“I have loved you in every lifetime I can remember, and I will love you in every one that follows. Even if you never forgive me… I will still choose you.”• The line sat quietly on the page in front of me, going through my head over and over. Staring at it longer than I meant to. Without permission, my mind tried to imagine His Majesty saying something like that. I tried to imagine that mouth, so often set in irritation or command, that many hurtful words had come out from, shaping a confession soft enough to sound like a promise. I couldn’t hold the picture for long, it kept slipping, replaced by sharper memories, the weight of his stare, the way he had once looked at me as if I were nothing more than a curse. I blinked rapidly and forced the thought away. I could no longer pretend my feelings toward him hadn’t changed. Over the past days, through the quiet moments, the unexpected gentleness, the confusing pull of his presence, something had begun to shift. I was
Zenith's Pov Morrak and Lune stared at me, confusion clear on both their faces. “What do you mean?” Morrak asked carefully. “My mate was formally announced few days ago on the night of the gala. His face was broadcasted across every major territory in the werewolfdom. Explain to me how the two of you failed to recognize him.” Seconds passed by and neither of them responded. It was as if the first half of my words had went right over their heads. The only part that seemed to register fully was the confirmation that their long-lost son was not only alive, but bound to me as my mate. The subtle shift in their posture and the quick glance they exchanged began to irk me. My patience thinned rapidly. “Was that all you heard?” I asked sharply, unable to control my growing annoyance. “That he is my mate?” At my words, Morrak recovered instantly and straighten in his chair, clearing his throat once before speaking. “Forgive us, Your Majesty. The news is… overwhelming.” He paused
Zenith's Pov I stared at the two young Alphas that had just entered. Just as I was shocked to see them, they were also shocked to see me. Though the feelings were on different circumstances. The two young Alphas stopped just inside the living room when they noticed me. Their resemblance to Silas was even more striking up close, the same shape of the eyes, the same mouth. They had to be twins, a boy and a girl. The boy recovered first and offered a respectful bow. The girl followed a heartbeat later. “Your Majesty,” they said almost in unison. I gave them a brief nod but said nothing, my attention returning to Morrak, whose eyes were on the two. “Sit down both of you.” he gestured the two of them to sit down. “These are our children.” Morrak said, giving a light chuckle. “Edvin and Elena. Both of them are Alphas. Their elder brother, Kyle, also an Alpha is currently in the south, handling business.” Morrak introduced with heavy price. I noticed one thing immediately. This
Silas's Pov Something’s wrong. I could feel it. Ever since we returned from the hospital this morning, the King had been silent. And it wasn't even the normal kind of silence. He had barely spoken a word after the examination ended. The drive back to the palace had been quiet enough to make my ears ring. And when we arrived, he didn’t walk me inside. He simply waited until I stepped out, and then drove off again without a single explanation. I had stood there on the palace steps for a few seconds longer than necessary, watching the black car disappear, before a servant finally guided me back to his room. I really want to go back to my room, it had been peaceful there. Here, all that wrapped around me was him, all that I breathed in was him, all that I saw him, all that I could think about was him. Just him and him and him. I might go crazy at this point. About an hour later, he returned, moving around the room like I wasn't even there. Then after a while, he left again. We
Zenith's Pov The words left my mouth before I could reconsider them. Silas’s eyes widened slightly at the declaration, and I noticed his pulse jump immediately, his heartbeat skyrocketing at once. He tried to turn his face away again, but I kept his chin steady in place, giving him a hard, warning stare. I released him only long enough to reach for the plate. I picked a small portion of food with the fork and brought it toward his mouth. “Open.” Of course, he didn't open. He kept his lips pressed together, breathing shallowly through his nose. Something hot coiled tighter in my chest at the defiance that still remained. I had given him the chance to do this himself. Now the choice was no longer his. “Silas.” My voice dropped. “Open your mouth.” For a moment, he only stared at me. Then, slowly, very obviously reluctantly, his lips parted. I guided the food past them, and he accepted it with clear resistance, chewing as if the act itself offended him. I watched every movement, e
Zenith's POVI stood at the head of the courtyard altar like a king that I was, hands clasped behind my back, expression carved into perfect cool. Only the entire court, elites, generals, council members had gathered, all dressed in their finest, their eyes hungry for the spectacle of their King fi
Zenith's Pov: I stood motionless in the hospital room, staring down at the pale, unconscious form lying in the bed before me. Silas, my so-called mate, looked ghostly white under the harsh lights of the hospital, dark bruises from the restrains marred his wrists and ankles. An IV drip connected
They shoved me through a heavy metal door into a stark white room. At first glance, it looked like a laboratory. Pristine white walls, harsh overhead lights that buzzed faintly, and a long metal table against one wall neatly arranged with vials of chemicals, syringes, wires, and strange metallic
Silas's Pov The first lash landed across my back like fire, and I screamed, curling into myself as the second lash followed. White-hot pain exploded across my spine, stealing the air from my lungs. The third lash, however, did not come. Through the haze of agony, I slowly opened my eyes and was s
