KING LiamShe did not know that I had been searching for her for too long...My father never died; he was a legend among our kind, born with four powers. As he aged, he had the audacity to ask me, his son, to take his position. And no one, I repeat, no one dared to reject the Alpha, for they all knew I was destined to inherit the throne eventually.But what sets me apart, what makes me a force to be reckoned with, is the fact that I was born with eight powers. Yes, eight. I am unparalleled, and none can even come close to rivaling my strength.In this world, being born with so many powers is unheard of. The common Alphas who possess a mere three powers prance around, content with being counselors or ministers, thinking they have reached the pinnacle of their abilities.Those born with four powers, like my dear old father, are supposed to battle for the throne, and the victor would become the ruling monarch.For me, becoming a king was beneath my potential. I have heard tales of King L

As the wise old man stood before us, I wasted no time in issuing my command, my voice steady and assertive. "Drake, gather all the pack ministers in one hour from now. And rest assured, you will personally lead me to Daliah's room," I said with a hint of a smirk, exuding confidence in my authority.Drake's expression shifted from uncertainty to surprise as he spoke, "Yes... Sure, Your Highness. Her room is next to mine. She's my little sister, actually. Did not you know that she was my adopted little sister?"And there the lies started to flow in the air. Drake underestimated me.As I looked into Drake's eyes, I could sense the fear and guilt lurking within him. His attempt to hide the truth from me was futile, for my powers allowed me to see beyond mere words.With a smirk, I teased, "Did not you know that I have eight powers, Drake? I know everything."His face paled, and he stammered, "I... I did not mean to hurt her. It was just... I was angry, and she disobeyed me."I let out a c

Snapping my fingers to grab their attention, I announced, "Well, now that all of you are here, I have something to say. I found my mate in this kingdom. Her name is Daliah, the adopted princess," I grinned proudly.Drew interjected, "She's my little sister. Your Highness, you've honored her and us by accepting her as your mate."I burst into hysterical laughter, but it had a sharp edge to it as I mocked his words, "What the fuck, Drew! Now you are calling her your sister? Yet all of you kicked her, forced her to sleep on the kitchen floor, and made her work as a maid!"Their worried expressions confirmed that they were wondering how I knew all of that. I continued to explain, "As I mentioned before, I have the power to read the past and fears. By looking into all of you, I know exactly what you have done to her. However, I've decided to forgive all of you."They visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but I quickly raised my index finger, adding, "In one condition."Drake and Drew widened

"Daliah, please, listen to me. I did it all out of love, to protect you," he pleaded, attempting to justify the years of abuse. But his words fell on deaf ears, and the twisted sense of love he professed only intensified my repulsion.Drake, relentless in his pursuit, continued to move forward. His words, laced with desperation, reverberated through the room, but I tuned them out, focusing solely on finding a means of defense. My hand brushed against a small table, and I seized a decorative figurine, its weight providing a meager sense of reassurance.With the makeshift weapon in hand, I faced Drake's relentless approach. His eyes, clouded with a mix of emotions, betrayed a manic determination that sent shivers down my spine.

As we approached, the massive wooden doors, adorned with glistening metalwork, swung open, revealing the breathtaking sight that awaited within.As grand doors of the castle swung open, revealing the opulent interior that awaited us.

We have much to discuss," he said, his voice carrying a mixture of authority and affection.The entrance hall, adorned with rich tapestries and polished marble floors, echoed with the hallowed whispers of history.

I felt the ember of anger smolder within me, a seething frustration at the unyielding rigidity of their beliefs. My response, delivered with a controlled intensity, cut through the chamber.“Do not presume to lecture me on duty and sacrifice,” I retorted, my voice carrying the weight of the responsibilities that had marked my reign. “I have dedicated my life to this kingdom, but I refuse to sacrifice love on the altar of tradition. Daliah is not na outsider; she is the heartbeat of a kingdom ready to evolve.”The elder remained undeterred, his gaze unwavering. “My liege, we understand the trials you have faced, but our allegiance is to the people. A union with her risks the stability we have fought to maintain.”The fiery tempest within me surged, and I spoke with na intensity that matched the fervor of their opposition. “Stability at the cost of love is a kingdom built on a foundation of emptiness. I will not lead with a heart that knows only duty but lacks the warmth of compassion.
