Carol’s point of view

The voice comes again. Calm, cold, and unyielding—filling the chamber like thick fog.

“What do you feel, Carol?” it asks softly, almost gentle.

“But don’t hide from me.”

I swallow, my throat tightening like a noose. Words get stuck inside me, clawing to get out.

I want to lie.

I want to say I’m innocent, untouched.

But I know better.

Guilt.

It presses down on my chest, heavier than any stone.

Every breath is a struggle under its weight.

I see the faces of the girls—helpless, terrified, broken—and I remember what I did to them.

I was their tormentor.

A marionette in a twisted dance I didn’t understand until now.

The voice speaks again, patient and probing.

“Do you feel remorse? Or do you feel nothing?”

I try to answer, but all I hear is the pounding of my heart, and a screaming silence inside.

Betrayal.

Betrayal of myself, of my own soul.

How could I have been so powerless?

How could I have let this darkness take control, use my hands as weapo

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 304 – Common Sense and Unwanted Queens

    Eva’s Point of View The sun rises lazily above the horizon, bathing the olive grove in a warm, golden glow. The cicadas hum. Salt lingers in the air. I stretch my limbs and tie my hair back as Kostas tosses me a wooden training staff. “You’re up early,” he says, smiling. “Most people come here for the sleep-ins and ouzo.” “I’m not most people.” He snorts. “Clearly.” We begin circling each other, feet silent on the packed earth. I strike low—he dodges. I feint, swing high—he blocks. We go back and forth for minutes until I start noticing something strange. He’s pulling his hits. His blocks are half a second too slow—intentional. His stance? Slightly open, giving me easy opportunities. “Kostas,” I say, frowning, “are you going easy on me?” “No.” “Yes, you are.” He hesitates, then gives me a sheepish shrug. “You’re pregnant, Eva.” I blink. “I’m still capable of breaking your ribs,” I mutter. He chuckles. “Noted.” We continue, though I push harder now, challenging him. A qu

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 303 – Minotaurs, Moist Rocks, and Michael’s Regrets

    Sonia’s Point of View “Okay, listen up!” I clap my hands in front of the group like an overexcited tour guide on the verge of a nervous breakdown. “According to local legends, the cave up ahead is the one where Zeus was born and raised.” Michael narrows his eyes at the jagged rock formation ahead. “Born in a cave? Raised in a cave? So what, he was the original bat-child?” I glare at him. “It’s sacred. Show some respect.” “This is how horror movies start,” Lenny mutters, adjusting the straps of his backpack. “One overenthusiastic woman with a weird obsession with old gods leads seven idiots into a dark hole and only the camera survives.” I beam. “Thank you for volunteering to be the comic relief. Now move.” Theo raises an eyebrow, his arms crossed. “How long is this going to take?” I shrug. “Depends how many ghost goats and labyrinth spirits we meet.” Marcus deadpans, “Perfect.” We step inside the cool mouth of the cave, our shoes crunching against loose gravel. The light dim

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 302 – The Labyrinth Seeker

    Sonia’s Point of View I wake up in Crete with aching feet, a full heart, and a slightly irrational urge to kidnap a history professor. After a whole day of trudging across Santorini’s dreamy white cliffs and a night ferry ride that made Michael threaten to throw up every ten minutes, we’ve finally landed on this myth-soaked island—and I don’t care how tired everyone is. I need to see everything. They can search for Eva. I’m searching for magic. “You know,” I say over breakfast, stirring my coffee with unnecessary intensity, “if we die here, make sure they bury me near the caves.” Theo looks up from his eggs, half-asleep. “What caves?” “The caves,” I say, eyes sparkling. “The caves. You know—the ones where the ancient labyrinth was supposedly hidden? The one with the Minotaur? The one Daedalus built? That labyrinth.” Marcus grunts. “She’s broken.” “I’m serious!” I slap the table dramatically. “I don’t care if it collapses on my head. I need to see it. I didn’t come to the isla

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 301 – Operation Beach Hunt

    Theo’s Point of View Santorini looks like it fell straight out of a dream. Whitewashed buildings stacked like sugar cubes against a backdrop of endless blue. Sunlight dances on the sea, and the air smells like wine, salt, and every reason to stop searching and just stay forever. But I’m not here for paradise. I’m here for her. And I don’t even know where here is. Parker steps off the ferry next to me, sunglasses sliding down his nose. “Okay. Not to be dramatic or anything, but if I lived here, I’d never tell anyone either.” Michael groans. “Great. So she could be anywhere with a coastline, eating olives and painting sunsets, while we’re out here playing Guess That Beach.” “Maybe it’s not about the beach,” Elias says thoughtfully. “Maybe it’s a metaphor.” Lenny perks up. “Like… the sea is actually her soul, and we have to dive deep into—” “Lenny,” Marcus deadpans, “if you say soul dive one more time, I’m pushing you into the caldera( which is a volcanic crater).”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 300 – The Voice in the Tide

    Eva’s Point of View The canvas dries under the sun, and I stare at it, unsure if it’s finished or not. The waves came out softer than I intended—more dream than sea—but maybe that’s okay. The cabin, tucked in the corner with its faded roof and the flowers I didn’t plant but pretend I did, looks… cozy. Safe. Like a memory I’ve never had. I bite my lip. “Artemis?” “Yes, my darling?” Her voice is far too smug today. “Does it look stupid?” “Stupid? No. Delicious? Yes. I would lick that painting if I had a tongue.” I snort and cover my mouth with paint-stained fingers. “Please don’t ever say that to anyone else.” “Why not? I told you, I once licked a statue of Apollo. Marble cheeks are surprisingly—” “Nope. Don’t finish that sentence.” “You’re no fun.” I roll my eyes, pick up the canvas, and start toward the main house. Paris is out front repairing a loose gate with Nikos when I reach them. His salt-and-pepper hair is tousled, and there’s a streak of dirt across his shirt. He

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 299 – A Voice from the Past

    Theo’s Point of View I can’t sit still anymore. Dreams are something, not nothing. I know her soul reached for mine. Even if she didn’t recognize me… even if she said she didn’t love me… she dreamed of me. That has to count for something. Aries agrees. He hasn’t shut up in my head all morning. “We act now. While she’s still dreaming of us.” So I call them all. By midmorning, we’re gathered around the long war table in the strategy room. Not for battle. Not for politics. For her. Parker. Trixie. Michael and Lenny. Elias. Marcus. And Sonia. The air is thick with worry, but there’s something else beneath it—determination. “She’s alive,” I start. “And I think… I think she reached me last night. In a dream.” Trixie leans forward, eyes wide. “Like a real dream? Soul-to-soul kind of thing?” I nod. “She didn’t know who I was. She told me she didn’t love me. But she was there. We were on a beach. The sky was orange. Sunset, I think. She looked like herself… but different. Sof
