เข้าสู่ระบบRonnie’s POVWhen I got to the dining room, I greeted everyone all at once and sat down without even waiting for their reply.Then my eyes found their way to Nolan's seat almost instinctively, but his usual seat was empty.I guess he is back to his unending Kingly duties.Yesterday must have just been a welcome parade after all.I almost smiled at the thought.Of course.What else had I expected?Nolan was the King. He had an entire kingdom to run, which meant he couldn't spend every waking moment following me around or making sure I was comfortable.As much as I enjoyed that version of him, I knew it wasn't realistic.I took my seat and began eating breakfast with the rest of his family.For a while, everything seemed normal enough.Well, normal by palace standards.I focused on my food and tried not to pay too much attention to everyone around the table. I had already learned that the less I involved myself in the strange atmosphere of this family, the better.Besides, the baby in m
Ronnie's POVNolan’s hands paused for a moment after my question, and I couldn't help but watch the expression that slowly appeared on his face. There was something almost amusing about seeing him look shy.This was Nolan we were talking about, the same man who could make an entire room go silent simply by walking into it, the same man who could make even the strongest Lycans think twice before speaking.Yet here he was, kneeling in front of me and looking almost embarrassed because I had asked him to show me what else he had learned.He let out a quiet breath, and that small smile remained on his lips.“Let's take it one at a time,” he said.I raised my brows.He continued rubbing my foot. “If I show you everything I learned tonight, you might start thinking I spent my entire day studying pregnancy care.”I couldn't help the little laugh that escaped me. “Didn't you?”His eyes met mine, and for a second, he looked like he was actually considering how to answer that.“Maybe,” he admit
Ronnie’s POVDinner ended in painful silence.After Nolan’s speech, Olivia barely touched her food. I didn’t intend to watch her, but somehow I couldn’t just ignore the embarrassment in her eyes.I wanted to meet her gaze so badly, but she refused to lift her head the whole time.Madame Sloane on the other hand, surprised me.She cleared her plate completely.I watched her eat like she hadn’t had food in days, and for some reason, that unsettled me.For a moment, when Nolan began to speak, I thought she had actually gotten scared or something, but the way her emotions changed quickly, like she was already plotting something else right there in front of us all.I tried to act tough, and maybe shake off the thought, but it just wasn’t going.I had already made a promise to myself before coming here that I was leaving this place alive and unharmed. I don’t know how that will happen, but I know it will, and I’m willing to go to any lengths to make sure they don’t get under my skin as they
Nolan’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 The color drained from my face so fast it almost made me dizzy.For a second, I couldn’t even breathe properly. My fingers tightened instinctively around the phone while my mind raced through every possible reason he could be calling me. None of the thoughts felt safe.My first instin
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 POV For a moment, the silence in the room was so thick I could hear my own heart pounding. I stared at Elisha, searching his face for something, anything. Just anything that looked like the man I thought I loved.I waited for the apology.Waited for him to say, Ronnie, I’m sorry. This isn
Ronnie’s POV“No way I’m letting you walk out of a million-dollar desk because of that Asshole of a mate,” Jessie screamed, running down the stairs to stop me.“Language, Jessie!” I yelled.“But you worked so hard for this, Ronnie, why do you always have to dump your dreams to make sure that you’re
