บททั้งหมดของ Be Marked By A Revengeful Alpha: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Caitlyn's POV"Caitlyn, are you... are you okay?"Talon gave me a somewhat shocked look, then turned his head back to the crystal pendant that had been twisted in half."Well, I'm fine. I heard that the king wanted to meet me, so I came." I twisted my head to look at the king; his expression was a bit deep at the moment, making it impossible to discern his emotions. So, I slightly inclined my body and bowed to the king on the stage. "Your Majesty.""Hmm. You're the human woman Talon chose?"The king nodded gently, then looked at me playfully."Yes, but I've heard that it seems the king supports Alpha Kaisa to be Talon's mate?"I finished by glancing at Kaisa, who stood not too far away, her expression looking a bit stunned as she obviously didn't expect me to mention her name out of the blue."I'll be honest; you have a lot of courage. Kaisa is a very good child, and I've been worrying about the choice of her mate for so many years. So, after

Caitlyn's POVNo one expected Kaisa to be the first to speak up, and her words caused Talon to stifle a sigh of relief. Talon stood still, gazing at Kaisa with more than a hint of bewilderment."So, what do you think?" The king also appeared somewhat surprised, followed by a playful smile as he twisted his head to look at me. "It would be my honor." I nodded with a smile and then bowed towards the king."Talon, we should go." As I walked to Talon's side, I gestured for him to leave the palace with me intact. After all, Bard and the others were anxiously waiting for news outside the city walls.However, Talon remained motionless, his eyes looking at me evasively. He slowly pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant. "Caitlyn, I'm afraid I still have some things to take care of. Either you go back first, or I'll come find you a little later."Talon's tone was flat, and for a moment, I was left guessing what he was thinking. Yet, I detected a hint of an unusual politeness in hi

Caitlyn's POVUpon hearing Leona's words, I hesitated. Honestly, I wasn't ready to meet Talon right now."Don't hesitate. Aren't you genuinely worried about Talon choosing Kaisa?" Leona glared at me, unmistakably pushing me out of the room."Don't come back until you've seen Talon tonight," her voice echoed behind me, closing off any chance of retreat.I strolled into the moonlight, heading in the direction where Talon was, relying on my memory. It wasn't a long walk, but I proceeded slowly, troubled by the emotions I should harbor towards Talon. I wondered if what Leona said was true – that he was just acting in front of others, but hadn't genuinely grown apart from me."Caitlyn, is that you?" I stood beneath Talon's room, torn between retracing my steps when a familiar voice came from behind me. There was a hint of shock and unhidden elation in that voice. As I slowly turned around, Talon's figure appeared around the corner."Caitlyn, I didn't think you'd come to

Caitlyn's POVSince the last encounter, the king seemed to have genuinely dispelled his suspicions about Talon and never summoned him alone again. The two-month deadline, once spoken by Kaisa, became an unspoken topic of conversation for everyone."Well, what does Talon think about it?" Leona approached with a curious expression just as I returned to the room."Talon is still choosing to remain silent about me. I just can't figure out if he just thought all this time I wasn't qualified to fight alongside him." I recalled Talon's serious expression from the previous night, feeling a bit sad inside."Maybe what he said is true; he has his own hardships, and this is now the way for him to protect you." Perhaps, being a werewolf as well, it was easier for Leona to understand the responsibility that Talon carried."But there are many ways to protect me. Why did he choose this? He also mentioned becoming as cold as before in public in the future when we meet each other." I

Caitlyn's POV"While I understand that he might not have wanted to reveal his true feelings in front of Kaisa, the coldness evident on his face at that moment was too pronounced."Back in the room, Leona was still upset about Talon's indifference."Perhaps he has his reasons."I sighed inwardly, reiterating the words I used to reassure myself."But he can't be like that. Maybe he's using such an excuse to deceive you. After all, didn't he end up going to Kaisa's room?"Seeing that I was still defending Talon, Leona couldn't help but roll her eyes at me, and her words pierced me like a needle in the heart."I'm sure Talon isn't like that.""I think you're simply blinded by love right now," Leona remarked, shaking her head gently before rising abruptly. "Whether he's like that or not, I don't think we can keep waiting. That would make us too passive. And the last time we saw Kaisa, I could sense that she counted as our arch-enemy. If we leave it like that, I'm perturbed that Talon will
