Chapter 211

Darius' POV The corridor outside her ward felt too narrow for me to breathe. If I was being honest, no matter how I moved, I couldn't shake off the feeling that my breaths were being suppressed, like a fucking freight train was ramming into me continuously, but it's plan was simply to hold my breathing, rather than kill me upfront. Considerate, right? I paced around like a caged predator, each step clipped, and restless. The rhythm that came from underneath my feet did nothing to burn off the storm inside me. In fact, all it did was fuel my anxiety, and feed into the fear that was coiling around me like a damned rattle snake. Three hours. Three mother fucking hours, that’s how long the doctor had been inside with her. Usually , I'd heard it was better to let the doctors take their time because only they knew the right thing to do, but I wasn't sure I believed that anymore. It had been three hours of muffled shouts, nurses rushing in and out, trays clattering against the floor,

Chapter 212

Darius' POV I'd never been more stunned in my entire life like I was right now. The world around me tilted, and for a quick second, I couldn't help but think that I'd somehow landed in an alternate universe. One where my worst fears came true, one where everything was turned upside down, and one where the one person I'd been obsessing over just so she would be okay had just stuck a blade deep inside my chest by saying she had no idea who I was. Wait, what? My mind spun with a million and one things all at once, but nothing was as chaotic as the words that had just slid past Kiara's mouth. They tore through me like a blade, and I could as well say they'd lodged itself deep inside my heart. I wasn't bleeding physically, but it was the emotional hurt that burned the most. Who are you?“Kiara.” My voice came out as nothing short of a whisper. My fingers were trembling at this point, but I did nothing to try to stop it. “What do you mean?” She didn't answer immediately. Instead, sh

Chapter 213

Darius' POV I didn’t know how I made it to the end of the hallway. Heck, I didn't even know how I was still up and surviving right now. If someone had whispered the words to me, or had predicted that this would be my father, then best believe that I would have laughed their heads off. I wouldn't even be mad that they had the guts to walk up to me with such bullshit. Instead of punishing them, best believe that I would tell the kitchen to prepare their favorite meal for them because whoever it was,was probably delirious from hunger and nothing else. If that had happened though, I'm sure they would be the ones to have the last laugh, and not me. My boots dragged more than they stepped, like the weight in my chest was chained to the floor. The world blurred around me, faces ducking out of sight, whispers slithering away into corners, but I heard none of it. All I saw was her eyes. Those empty eyesBlank, and staring at me like there was never a thing between us. I never for one day t

Chapter 214

Darius' POV The chamber stank of old stone and older fear., and if that wasn't more than enough to have me spinning on my heels and walking out of here faster than the speed of light, then I had no idea what else would suffice. My eyes took in the damned place, and even though I'd been in here so many times, I couldn't exactly say I'd gotten used to it. Torches hissed against the walls, shadows curling long and thin, and every set of eyes locked on me like blades. They thought they finally had me cornered, but they were about to see that they were dead wrong, and had actually just shot themselves in the foot with this stupid meeting they'd set up. If it wasn't obvious by now,I didn't want to be here. I wasn't looking for a vacation spot, but anywhere aside from the four corners of this council chamber would suffice. After the unfortunate turn of events today, all I wanted , really wanted, was to be alone. It sounded strange and probably stupid, but I still couldn't believe

Chapter 215

Darius' POV The doors to the chamber slammed shut behind me, their echo still rattling in my skull. I'd pushed it that hard that the echo could be heard from a million miles away, but believe me when I said I didn't care. Not one bit. If I could, I wouldn't mind burning down that chamber in particular. Yes, it wasn't going to solve anything, but at least it would give me an avenue to get all of this pent out anger out of my system. Fucking council members. All around me, my surroundings blurred, but I wasn't bothered at all. With the amount of anger boiling in my veins, I knew for a fact that I could get to my destination a million times and still not get lost. With each step I took, I only felt my anger multiplying. I really did try to keep it down, but my jaw was clenched so tight it ached. There was no time to stew, no time to do anything at all. One week. That’s all they’d given me, and if I wasted even a second, they’d snatch her out from under me.I pivoted on my heel an

Chapter 216

Kiara's POV The silence pressed too heavy against my ears. I'd heard that silent moments often tended to be comfortable, but right now, I wasn't sure I shared in that sentiment at all. The silence around me wasn't the least bit equivalent to peace. If anything, there was more chaos in the so called quiet than any other period in my life, and I couldn't help but wonder why. I really did try my best to get rid of it. Earlier, I'd started drumming my fingers against the bed side table, but it was only so long before my fingers hurt and went numb. I'd tried humming, but my throat dried almost immediately, and at a point, I'd even started whistling, but nothing seemed to be working. It didn't help that my mind was a whirlwind of emotions as well. I kept hearing my own voice from earlier, sharp and foreign in my mouth. Who are you?It was one thing to have woken up from something I didn't think I was going to survive. Till now, I still couldn't find the right surfs to describe what t

Chapter 217

Kiara's POV The silence in the room returned after Hazel’s footsteps faded down the corridor, but it was no longer the same silence as before. This one was alive, thrumming against my skin like static, heavy with the knowledge that he was still there. I tried to shake it off, but the more I tried, the harder it became. I couldn't see him, but it still didn't stop his presence from being known. Perhaps it had everything to do with the fact that I knew he was the alpha, or not, but whatever it was, it made his aura stronger than the usual kind. It seeped in from underneath the door, through the cracks in the walls, and into the room and my nostrils. The said aura tickled my skin, and I couldn't deny the fact that it actually felt familiar. I could feel him, no, sense him, lingering just beyond the door.Alpha Darius. The title rolled around in my head, strange and too sharp, like it didn’t fit yet somehow belonged. There was something about that title that I couldn't place my fing

Chapter 218

Kiara’s POV Of all the ways I thought tonight would end, best believe this kiss wasn't one of them. Hell,I'd been scared that Darius had been lurking in front of my door for quite some time now, and how their fuck did I show him that I wasn't exactly pleased with it? I kissed him. I fucking kissed the man like my life depended on it. His lips moved over mine with such reverence. It felt more like he was worshipping me more than anything else. His tongue slowly pushed into my mouth and the moan that slid past my lips was priceless. It echoed all around us, while it sailed up to the roof to make its nest there. His hands cupped my cheeks and his fingers trailed around my neck at my nape before he spoke. “Kiara.” His voice was low, so low it made my toes curl. He didn't say anything else after that, but I didn't miss the way his hand slowly slid down my side. He wasn't as free as he used to be with me, and I wondered if that had anything to do with the fact that I'd told him I

Chapter 219

Darius' POV The floor of my study had worn thin beneath my boots. I’d been pacing since dawn, the grain of the wood beneath my steps carving into my skull with every turn. With how many times I'd walked across the floors of my study, it was a miracle how the wood hadn't worn out, or caved underneath my boots. I hadn't thought about it before, but whoever had built this deserved a fucking damn raise for surviving the pounding of my footsteps all through last night. The fire in the hearth hissed and cracked, but it couldn’t drown out the echo of her voice. Nothing could do that, no matter what I tried. Then why did you leave me at the cabin that night?Her voice has been so soft and fragile, like a porcelain glass scared of shattering to her own death. Kiara had said she had no idea who I was, and she remembered nothing that we shared but how, how had she been able to make reference to that? Was it really a slip, a fragment of her memories coming back, or just a bloody damn lie?

Chapter 220

Darius' POV I wasn't one to be easily pressured, but I would be lying if I said that Rhian's words didn't get to me, and in more ways than one too. Then we test her. And I just gave you a chance to find out the truth. This is the only way you'd get your answer. It'd been a full blown day since we had that conversation, but our conversation still hadn't left my mind. If anything, his words echoed loudly in my ears, over and over again and no matter how hard I tried to push them out, it felt like I was only making it easier for them to come back into my mind again. I hadn't slept properly, and if it meant anything, I still hadn't gone to see Kiara. After her second slip up, the atmosphere turned tense, and awkward. Luckily for the both of us, I didn't hang around to make it any more worse. While that sounded like the best thing to do then, I hated that it now came with so many doubts and what not. Test her. Break her. Last night was thick with silence, but my mind refused to re
