บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha Twins' Possession: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Rosalind's POVI chose to live. By that, I mean that I chose to be Killian's fiancée. We walked together hand in hand as we entered the hall that was used for official undertakings and for celebrations. The entire council was there suited at their dais. The silverbags/nobles occupied the common rows and as I entered I had the remarkable thought that apart from the servants catering to the guests I was probably the lowest-ranking wolf in attendance. Cillian was already there with Adelyn standing next to him both decked in the most expensive-looking silks in Collian's colours of blue and white and the sight of them standing there looking like the perfect couple made me stop moving. Killian's arm went around my waist forcing me forward while making it seem like he was just being affectionate. My heart raced and my hands grew clammy as the attention of all those in attendance fixated on my skin. I couldn't breathe until I did. Killian's arm urged me forward until we stood next to Cill

Rosalind's POVAfter that cryptic woman left having dropped that ominous warning, I laid back in bed thinking and thinking about the ways I could escape with minimal risk. I couldn't risk my life on the off chance that Killian didn't feel like bailing me out. Cillian was mercurial and while some days he seemed like an absolute darling, it never lasted. Things might change now that I was his fiancée but I sincerely doubted it seeing as he wanted this engagement about as much as I wanted it. Which was not at all. So no, I wouldn't wait for him to save me. That being secured there was only one way out of this room. It was the door. I would be monitored by the guy in black, River, but at least I would be able to check my vicinity to make sure she hadn't been lying about us being in a different kingdom. I stood up pleasantly surprised when I didn't swoon or have sudden upsetting headaches. The drugs had worn out.Then I went to check the washroom and the dresser. There was water and

Killian's POV"Why aren't they here yet?"I was beyond anxious. It had been almost three days since Rosalind was taken. I didn't realize how much she had meant to me until her disappearance. When the ultimatum had arrived barely hours into the kidnap and subsequent search for Rosalind, I had wanted nothing more than to give them what they wanted and have her returned to me that very instant. But there were annoying things like procedures and council meetings that had to happen first because I wasn't crowned King yet alongside my brother. Once that happened, the first thing I would do would be to get rid of the council and do things at my own pace. The council has wanted to wait them out. Call the rogues' bluff so to speak in Arthur's exact words. "Who do they think they are? They only have one princess elect, we can get another, we will not negotiate with terrorists that put our palace in jeopardy with their witchcraft."I glared at him. If it had been his daughter that they had

Rosalind's POVTurns out I was worried about nothing because almost after his question, Killian dropped his lips to my neck and kissed it leaving me shivering in his arms. He was only staking a claim on me. He didn't know about the magic. I looked at River who nodded imperceptibly, amusement in his eyes. I cleared my throat. "Meet my fiance Prince Killian."River outstretched his hand respectfully."Hi I'm–"Killian interrupted him, barely looking at the hand he stretched out to him as he looked him over like he would a curiosity."You are a witch rebel who held her captive. I know your type. Stop trying to cozy up to Rosalind."River took back his hand, his pleasant air still about him as though he wasn't talking to his enemy of sorts. "I am sorry for the misunderstanding."Then he shifted his gaze to me, something soaring in his eyes. "It was good seeing you again." "Same here." When he left I was, I'm still thinking if what he told me or rather had been unable to tell me due

Cillian's POVI knew Rosalind was hiding something although I couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was. We might have reconciled after her kidnapping but she felt distant and she seemed to be keeping something from me. I didn't push her because even if she claimed she was treated well there, I had no way of knowing if it was the truth or if she simply wanted to put me at ease so that I wouldn't worry so much. We had also managed to circumvent the whole talk about her being engaged to Killian but still seeing me on the side. It felt like an impossible situation so we avoided talking about the elephant in the room for as long as we could. Upon entering the meeting room, I was immediately put on edge by the fact that I couldn't see Killian. This meant this meeting had been called especially for me and I had a good idea why. I settled on my chair seemingly without a care in the world."What is this about?"Arthur spoke first of course being the pacesetter that he was. "It is time for yo
