Semua Bab Bite, Bleed, Bow (MxM): Bab 211 - Bab 220

Kieran walks into one of the dungeon cells, and at the center of it is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years of age, her wrists tied and her hair messy like she’s been running for days. Dirt covers her face, but her eyes are bright and sharp. She doesn’t look scared; rather, she looks amused as she looks back at Kieran with a smirk. Quite bold for a rogue.Normally, rogues are scared or try to fight back, wanting to be released, but why does this girl look like she wanted to be caught in the first place and is only having fun?“Where did you find her?” Kieran asks the patrolling guards who stand at the corner of the dirty, wet cell.“She was already inside the territory, and she was alone. We thought it’d be best to bring her here,” comes the response.Kieran sharply looks back at her, his eyes cutting through her face. “What is a young rogue like you doing in my territory?” She shrugs and then breaks into a smile that’s too big for her face. “Nothing much. Just wanted to see what Ash

Kieran knows there's something wrong the minute his heart suddenly starts to race, and his insides coil. He watches the man enter the dungeon cell, standing tall, and mighty with a presence, and aura that can't be ignored. His pheromones are suffocating yet suppressed as if he knows the power he has.His pupils are a dark shade of red, not the light crimson that appears in his nightmares over the years. There's a scar that runs over his left eye, and his hair is a shade of black, not silver like the one in his dream. Kieran has never seen the face of the man in his dream who has crimson eyes and silver hair, but staring at this man suddenly paints a face; it's like the blurry image of the stranger in his dreams suddenly cleared.But Kieran can swear he has never seen this man before. Why does he look so familiar? Why do Kieran's insides twist with craving and longing like he has suddenly found what he had lost? Kieran stares unblinking and unable to look away.Kieran’s breath quicke

Kieran struggles with the cuffs on his wrists, even though he knows it's useless after trying several times.He gives up with a frustrated sigh. He wasn't taken to another cell or killed as he expected. He's taken to a bedroom, large yet empty, save for the wooden table at the side of the room, and it's dark too, the curtains drawn close with no ray of sunlight peeking in, while the silence is heavy enough to make his pulse throb louder.He doesn't know why he was brought to a bedroom instead of a cell, with both his hands cuffed to the large bed, and the longer he sits there waiting, not knowing what's going on or what has happened to the others, especially Sage, who shouldn't even be part of this mess but it's all Kieran's fault—his fault for not being strong enough.Does he even deserve to live after the horror his incapability caused, failing to protect his own people?But Ashbourne being destroyed is not even the least of his problems; it's the Rogue King.Sage called him Seth. T

Seth stares at his hand as he stands beside the window of his office. He hasn't lost control in a while. He has destroyed packs just to fill his bloodthirst; he believed he would be satisfied when Ashbroune is destroyed. He has already gotten what he wanted; the ache for revenge has been quenched, yet seeing Kieran's face again brought back that animalistic urge he's been fighting back. Why does he get to be the one who forgets when Seth is still having those nightmares?Seth’s hand trembles slightly, but he ignores it, staring down at the faint marks of Kieran’s blood on his palm. He should’ve washed it off by now, but he doesn’t move. The sight still keeps him angry.Finally, he drags a hand through his hair, his jaw tight. He had promised he wouldn’t lose control again, not after everything. Not after becoming what everyone feared: the Rogue King, the monster, but then Kieran just had to look at him like he was the one who had done something wrong, like Seth was the villain for ho

“Have you decided what to do with Ashbourne, and its people?”Seth lifts his gaze at the two elders in his office, standing at the front of his desk. “They won't get any special treatment. They will be given a choice to choose whether or not they wish to join my pack. Ashbourne no longer exists.” “What about Alpha Kieran? His pack is gone, why do you still keep him alive?” Elder Gaius demands.“Kieran is the alpha's fated mate,” Elder Lester retorts. “He can't kill his fated mate. The young alpha has his faults but you can't blame him for the actions of his father.” Elder Gaius’s jaw tightens slightly as he snaps his gaze to Elder Lester. “Faults?” he repeats quietly. “You call betrayal and breaking a bond that nearly cost our alpha’s life a fault?”“He was a boy and didn't realize what he would lose. He chose his pack over his heart, and he paid the price for it. They both did. Alpha Dagon should be the one to pay for everything,” Elder Lester counters, holding his hands in front o
