Chapter 78 – The Weight of Truth

last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-05-19 15:57:13

Theo’s POV

I sit at the table, watching this crazy group eat breakfast and laugh—like a dysfunctional family bound by something deeper than just survival. From the moment I told them we’d be heading somewhere for a serious discussion after breakfast, I could feel Eva tense beside me, like she already knows exactly what I’m about to do. One by one, as they finish eating, they stand up and fall into line, waiting silently for me to lead the way. I rise as well, feeling the weight of their expectant gazes, and without another word, I guide them out of the living room .

The castle feels heavier today—like the walls are holding their breath, waiting for something to break.

I lead the group through dim, twisting halls, past towering statues of ancestors frozen in stone, their eyes forever watching. Each step echoes in the silence, a slow, steady drumbeat in my chest—part memory, part dread. The weight of what Eva told me last night presses down on me like a stone.

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 230 – She Knows What Hurts

    Eva’s point of view We walk quickly but carefully, trying not to draw too much attention as we head toward the hidden library. There are too many eyes on us lately, too many whispers in the hallways. Every step feels like it’s watched. I still can’t believe I forgot about the mirror. It was one of the most important relics Queen Sarah left behind—part of the prophecy itself. And I, the so-called chosen one, let it slip from my mind. Brilliant. At least I’m not alone in this anymore. Sonia moves beside me with quiet determination, her expression sharp, her energy focused. I glance at her briefly and feel a spark of gratitude. I understand now why the goddess chose her to stand at my side. She’s not just loyal—she’s brilliant. I’m lucky to have her in this chaos. We finally reach the quiet hallway where the grand tapestry hangs, concealing the door to the hidden library. I touch the edge, and it pulls back with ease. We step inside. But something’s wrong. The air feels… off. H

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 229 – The Mirror That Knows the Truth

    Eva’s point of view We finally reach the laundry room again, breath still heavy from the mad dash down the hidden stairs. Sonia and I press ourselves against the wall, listening closely for any signs of movement inside. Silence. The coast is clear. We slip inside and close the door behind us, backs pressed to the wood. And then— We burst out laughing. “That was close,” Sonia wheezes, clutching her stomach. “Too close.” “I thought he saw me in the mirror,” I gasp. “My heart stopped for ten full seconds.” We’re still laughing when the door slams open. Two guards storm in, and right behind them—Theo. My laugh dies instantly. He stops in the doorway, eyes darting between me and Sonia like he just caught us red-handed doing something illegal. “…What are you doing here?” he asks, his tone unreadable. Sonia doesn’t even blink. “We were thinking of changing careers,” she answers sweetly. “Since we apparently mean nothing to you anymore, laundry duty seemed like the next logical

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 228 – Secrets Behind the Mirror

    Eva’s point of view “Wow,” Sonia whispers, eyes wide as she glances around my room. “So that’s why the bathroom has a full-length mirror… and here I thought it was just for sex.” I nearly choke on a laugh. I can’t afford noise—not now. “Focus,” I whisper, pressing a finger to my lips. We don’t know if someone’s guarding the hallway. I move quickly across the room, heading straight for the closet. As I push aside my old clothes, I hear Sonia and Elias gasp behind me. Yeah. Exactly. “No wonder you didn’t want anyone to find this,” Elias murmurs. “Help me get them down,” I instruct. “You two handle the papers—I’ll find something to carry them in. We have to move fast before someone smells us.” I walk over to the bed and drop to the floor, reaching underneath until my fingers brush the box I stashed there forever ago. I drag it out and toss the shoes inside onto the bed, clearing space. Then I join them at the closet, careful not to damage the fragile papers pinned to th

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 227 – Through the Walls of Queens and Ghosts

    Eva’s point of view We finish breakfast in a silence that weighs more than steel. I set down my fork, push back my chair, and stand. “Let’s go, guys.” Sonia and Elias rise instantly, loyal shadows flanking me as we head toward the exit. But as we pass the table where the rest of our so-called “gang” sits, Fake Eva—her royal knockoffness—dares to smile at Sonia. Wrong move. I see Sonia’s wolf snap up like a storm on fast-forward. Her entire energy shifts, and she hisses under her breath like a viper uncoiling. I catch her arm just in time. “Not now,” I murmur. “This isn’t the moment or the battlefield.” But it’s close. Oh, it’s coming. Michael stands suddenly, eyes pleading. “Sonia, please—” “Sit your ass down.” Her words are ice. No rage. No softness. Just cold betrayal packed into four syllables. She storms out before he can say another word. And damn it, watching them fall apart over this makes my stomach turn. This imposter is splitting us like firewood, and we’

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 226 – The Queen Plots from the Shadows

    Eva’s point of view As I step out of the elevator, my face is dry, but the ache behind my eyes betrays what happened upstairs. I blink it away and stride into the dining room like I belong here—because I do, dammit. Still, my gaze sweeps the room automatically, searching. One table: Elias and Sonia, heads close, whispering like it’s a secret war room. Another: Theo, Parker, Michael, Marcus… and Trixie. That’s already bad news. Trixie and Parker are sitting miles apart like their chairs are allergic to each other, and Michael is glaring daggers at Sonia like she stole his favorite sword and stabbed his pride with it. Perfect. Just perfect. The little impostor already won her first battle—she split us up. I walk toward the sibling table without sparing Theo a glance and drop into the seat beside Sonia like I haven’t just shattered into pieces an hour ago. “All good?” I ask, brushing her hand lightly with my fingers. Her eyes scan me like a scanner set to ‘emotional damage.’ “I c

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 225 – War Paint

    Eva’s point of view I open my eyes slowly, blinking against the cruel sunlight bleeding through the curtains. My body aches. Deep. Heavy. Like I’ve been dragged through a battlefield barefoot. Oh wait—emotionally, I have. Last night comes flooding back with the force of a tidal wave. The pain. The betrayal. The ghost of someone else’s hands on the man who’s supposed to be mine. The memory leaves a metallic taste in my mouth. I drag myself out of bed and into the shower, fists clenched, jaw locked. The water is hot. Scalding. But it’s not enough. I scrub my skin like it’s covered in filth. Like I can erase the shame, the helplessness, the feeling of knowing she almost succeeded. That her lies are working. That he’s slipping further and further away from me. So much for his sweet words. So much for I’ll always choose you. He isn’t fighting for me anymore. He’s falling for her. Slowly. Blindly. And I hate him for it. I hate me for caring. I step out of the shower, dripping an
