Semua Bab Bite, Bleed, Bow (MxM): Bab 231 - Bab 240

“You have a death wish, don't you, Cassian?”Cassian blinks rapidly, finally realizing what he's done. He takes a step back. When he burst in here, he completely forgot this person standing in front of him isn't the Seth he once knew. This person is the Rogue King, and as he said, he has killed people for far less.“No,” he finally finds his voice. “I don't have a death wish. I just don't want you to make a mistake. He doesn’t deserve to be used as a tool for your pleasure. Give him a chance before you do something you'll regret for the rest of your life, and think of Aviel too.”With that, Cassian turns and walks out of the office while Seth scoffs.Regret? Seth lets the word linger in his head. The only thing he regrets is not killing Kieran sooner. His jaw clenches at the thought, and his palm grasps an empty bottle, but then a knock comes on the door.“What?!” He snaps, eyes shooting daggers at Damien, who slowly makes his way to him but abruptly stops at the frame.“Kieran is hav

Kieran doesn’t even know why he’s sneaking out again. Maybe he’s just tired of sitting and thinking about whether he's really cursed to be unhappy for the rest of his life, or maybe he’s trying to remind himself that he’s still free enough to move.The pack house is huge, bigger than the one at Ashbourne. Kieran almost gets lost at the fifth turn, having no sense of direction and even more shocking, he hasn't run into anybody yet, unlike last time or maybe running into Alpha Rael wasn't a coincidence.He walks past a few closed doors until he comes across one slightly open, with light spilling through the gap, followed by voices.He frowns, and curiosity wins as he leans closer and peeks through the opening, only to realize it’s a meeting.His gaze finds Seth, who's sitting at the head of the table, his expression cold and unreadable, with a large coat over his shoulder and black gloves on his hands, while around him are five men; three of them are alphas, while the other two look old

Kieran isn't sure how he's going to spend his day, but certainly not like this.He has barely stepped into the hall when Isabella shows up, hands clasped, grinning like she has everything figured out. “Perfect timing,” she says, immediately grabbing his wrist before he can even ask what's happening. “You’re coming with me.”Kieran frowns as she drags him down the hall. “Where exactly are we going?”“The kitchen,” she says cheerfully.“The kitchen?”“Yes. Aviel and I are going to learn how to cook, and we want you to join us.”Kieran nearly stops walking. “Learn how to cook? Isabella, I don’t even know how to boil water.”She waves her hand, dismissing the excuse. “Doesn’t matter. Neither do I. That’s why it’ll be fun.”“Seth allowed this?”“Of course. He might be rough on others, but not me. I call him Father for a reason,” Isabella continues in her excited tone. “And oh, before you ask, I just call him Father for fun,” Kieran rolls his eyes but doesn't argue further as he silently f

Kieran stares at the box of syringes on the tiny table in front of him, while sitting on both sides of him are Cassian and Riven, both of them have the same confused look as Kieran.“You really think this will help bring back your memories?” Riven inquires.Kieran shrugs. “Sage sent them, and he promised to help."“What if they don't work?” Cassian crosses his arms over his chest.Kieran’s jaw pulls taut. He sighs and grabs one out of the box. “Seth and I are already making progress. It won't change anything whether I remember or not. It doesn't hurt trying,”Cassian tsks. “Honestly, I don't think you should remember; the experience was rather awful, and if this goes wrong, Seth’s going to have our heads and I don't want to get on the Rogue King’ bad side.”“Maybe,” Kieran murmurs. “Or maybe he’ll be happy I’m still trying to fix what’s broken.”There’s a small pause before Riven speaks. “You really want your memories back that bad, huh?”Kieran looks up, eyes distant fo

(MONTHS LATER)Rowan paces from one end of the pack hospital lobby to the other. His hands clench and unclench at his sides, jaw tight, eyes scanning the white-walled corridor, while every ten seconds, he runs his fingers through his hair.Sage is inside. Sage is in labor. Sage is finally having their child, and there's nothing he can do about it. The doctor said he has to wait, but Rowan is tired of waiting. Each second that passes by, it feels like it's gawking at his throat. He should be fine. Sage is the strongest omega that ever exists, but knowing the complications of male Omega birth has Rowan pacing even more. He stops abruptly by the sliding glass doors, pressing a hand against the cool surface, jaw tight, and chest heaving with the weight of helplessness.“Come on… come on,” he mutters under his breath.After what feels like an eternity, the doors finally open and a female doctor steps out. She smiles at Rowan, who feels like his entire world is about to crash on his should
