FAZER LOGINNolan’s POV“I can't express enough how ashamed I am of you both,” I continued, allowing my eyes to move from Olivia to my mother.Neither of them said anything.The entire dining room had gone silent, and I could feel Ronita's eyes on me from where she sat.“You are members of the Royal Lycan family. You both carry the name of this family, yet you chose to use your positions and influence to harm someone who was supposed to be a part of this family.” Olivia's expression darkened, but she remained quiet.“I have known what you both did for a while now, and with the expression on everyone's face, I see that everyone knew as well.”Mom tried to put up that carefree look once again, but I had already seen through it.Ronita turned toward me as well, surprise flashing across her face.I could understand why.She probably couldn't understand why I had remained silent despite knowing.I leaned back in my chair. “I was waiting for the right moment,” I continued. “And I wanted Ronita to be
Ronnie's POVThe moment the vehicle drove into the palace, I felt something inside me tighten.It was strange.I had been here before. I knew a bit of it at least. But returning now felt completely different from the last time.The palace stood exactly the way I remembered it, tall and intimidating, with its enormous walls and perfectly cleaned and decorated surroundings. Nothing had changed.Yet somehow, everything seemed different.The vehicle came to a stop, and for a few seconds, I remained seated, staring out of the window.Nolan stepped out first.I followed after him shortly.The moment my feet touched the ground, I looked around.There were guards stationed around the palace as usual, and several palace staff were moving about, but the difference this time was impossible to ignore.The last time I had been here, people had looked at me differently.Some of them looked at me with pity.Others had looked at me as though they knew something about my miserable situation that I did
Nolan's POV“What?” Elisha blurted out, a mixture of surprise and fear in his eyes.He turned to Ronita.A flash of what was in his mind came to me. I wasn’t even trying, but I read his mind anyway. He was more worried, or rather vexed by the fact that Ronita was having my child than the fact that I had ordered him to kneel and beg her.But I was here now; he couldn't dare to ask her any more silly questions.“Don't make me repeat myself,” I said, and without much effort, my eyes changed to a blazing red colour.He went on his knees immediately.A small laugh escaped Ronita's lips, not a happy one as you would think. It was more of a humourless laugh.“You already know what I'll say,” she said even before he got a chance to beg.“Just make it quick and let me get the hell out of here.”“I…” he trailed off.I guess I've been a little too soft on you folks for too long.Before I could act on that thought, he continued. Lucky him, because he might have been shredd
Ronnie's POV“What are you doing here, Elisha?” I couldn't even hide the disgust in my voice.The moment I saw that he was the one standing on the other side of the door, every bit of relief that had rushed through me disappeared.For one stupid second, I had actually thought it was Nolan.I had thought he had finally come.Instead, it was Elisha.Of all people.His eyes immediately moved past me and into the house before settling on the luggage Sarah and I had carefully arranged earlier.His expression changed. “How come I'm just hearing that you'll be going back to the Lycan Palace?”I frowned. “I don’t understand. Was I supposed to officially come and tell you that I’m returning there?”“Why did you agree to that?” He said, his tone a little louder.My hand tightened around the edge of the door.Was he seriously standing here asking me that?He took another look at the luggage. “Didn't you learn from your first mistake?”I stared at him.For a moment, I genuinely couldn't find the
Jessie’s POVFinal Day“I was really hoping we would raise our children together.” I said as I relaxed on the bed exhausted from our visit to the hospital. “What do you mean? We can still do that, you know?” “You can come over and we can…” I didn’t let her finish speaking, I stood up, grabbing her into a hug. I held her tight for a moment too long, she didn’t pull back either, just let the silence and the heaviness in the air breathe.I didn’t know when I started tearing up, I only realised when I felt the wetness of Ronnie’s dress cold against my cheeks. She pat me gently as she finally pulled away, wiping the down of her eyes as she met my gaze once again. “I'll miss you so much, Ronita.” I started, allowing more tears to fall freely from my eyes. “There will be no need for that, honestly. I will talk to the King about it. I’ll see how to make him agree to it.” She insisted. “There’s no need for that, Ronnie. Of course I’ll come to visit, but I can’t leave my mom behind.” Sh
Ronnie’s POVThe suitcase lay open on my bed with just a few clothes inside. I was still here wondering what to keep and what to take with me. As much as I wanted to feel comfortable enough there, I also wanted to make sure I don’t give my brain the impression that I’ll be staying longer than needed. I stood over the suitcase for a long moment, just staring between the suitcase and the closet. I made my way towards my closet and pulled out a few of my clothes, running my fingers over the fabric before placing them inside the suitcase. I got lost in thought as I began to fold them. ‘I'm leaving the palace soon, I was really hoping to see you before I leave.’ I don't know why those words from that text two nights ago suddenly popped up in my head again. Though I still left it unread, I couldn't just bring myself to stop thinking about it. Nine unread messages, from the same unknown number. I didn't need to verify to know who it was, I knew. And he proved me right. After the fi
Olivia’s POVThe morning sun spilled across my vanity, reflecting off the crystal perfume bottles and silk ribbons that littered the surface, but the light felt dull. I was restless, the kind of agitation that came from knowing the palace was in a state of flux. The "pollutant" was gone...kicked ba
Ronnie’s POVThe heavy door of King Nolan’s room clicked shut behind me, the sound echoing in the silent hallway. I was still shivering, my skin filled with goosebumps as the air conditioning of the palace hit my damp body. I held the light robe I had managed to wrap around myself, but it did nothi
Olivia’s POVI stood in front of the full length mirror in my room, the cold morning air brushing against my bare skin.My hand traced every place where an injury once laid. Tracing over my skin to be sure that I truly felt nothing anymore.It was all gone. I mean there was not even a residue of it
Nolan’s POV“Please stay!”The words were so faint, that I almost thought I’d imagined them. It was like a desperate trick played on me by my own longing. But the grip on my wrist was real. Her fingers, though small and still slightly trembling, held onto me as if I were her only hope.I turned slo
