บททั้งหมดของ TOO WILD TO TAME: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

Adrian’s POVThe meeting room felt like a pressure cooker ready to explode. Tristen was still on his knees in the middle of the floor, silver chains rattling as he thrashed and fought against the warriors holding him down. He kept muttering the same thing over and over under his breath like a broken record…“my daughter… my daughter…” His voice was raw and furious. The sound grated on every nerve I had left.Can he just cut the act and shut up?!Thomas stepped close and pulled me aside, away from the others, his hand firm on my arm. His voice dropped to a hushed, urgent tone that instantly put me on edge.“Your Majesty… remember that symbol on the princess’s arm? The one you asked me to investigate…what it means and where it came from?”I snarled, barely keeping my wolf from ripping out of my skin. “What the hell does that have to do with anything right now, Thomas? My mate is missing, and this bastard has a hand in it!”He swallowed hard, looking like he was about to drop the worst

Adrian’s POVElise exhaled after my question and began talking. “Because before I stepped into the palace grounds yesterday,” Elise said, eyes distant like she was seeing something the rest of us couldn’t, “I sealed the palace grounds. Instead of banishing the black magic outright, I removed the remaining cold seal that was restricting it… and then sealed everything in. Or rather, sealed him in. Since we’re only dealing with one source of black magic in the palace.”My anger flared again. “Why would you do that?! That’s exactly why the princess is missing! Why didn’t you just banish the black magic and set up a new fortified wall?! Why did you seal him in instead of out?!”Elise looked at me with that faraway expression. “I wanted to end Silas for good, your majesty. For what he did to my sisters. Since he was here, I didn’t want him to escape.” She paused, then added, “Don’t worry. He’s still within the palace grounds. And the best person to find him is here too. His half-sister.”A

Adrian’s POVThe heavy doors burst open with a crash that made everyone snap their heads up. I didn’t even have time to register who it was before the figure stormed in like a hurricane of tears and desperation.Caroline.She was cradling the boy in her arms, his small body limp against her chest. Her face was streaked with panic, fresh tears pouring down as she rushed straight toward me, skirts tangling around her legs. I’d forgotten she was even still in the palace. Forgotten the whole mess I’d created in a moment of weakness years ago. One stupid night, one mistake, and now here it was…staring me in the face like a living reminder of why I couldn’t mark Kira without risking her life. Because of this child, this innocent boy I’d never wanted, the rules said any true mate bond I tried to complete would kill her. The thought alone made my blood boil all over again.“Caroline,” I growled, already feeling the old anger flare hot in my chest. Seeing her here, right now, when every se

Adrain’s POVThe council erupted instantly with their voices overlapping as they expressed their confusion and shock.“What the hell does that mean?!”“Can bloodsuckers die that easily?”“Did he really kill her?”“The marriage was supposed to be an alliance! How could she be dead?!”“The bride is dead?”“This means war! The vampires will surely wage war!”Voices crashed over each other from every direction.Some shouted.Some whispered in horror.Some were already pale with fear and worry.I still remembered the last war between us and the bloodsuckers.Let’s just say it was a chapter of history no one ever wants to read again.I clenched my fists so tightly my knuckles whitened.My wolf raged beneath my skin. Was this their plan?Margaret and Levi’s plan?To bring me down?To throw this kingdom into chaos?To cause a war when we were supposed to be forming an alliance?I moved before anyone could breathe.My hand shot out and wrapped around Levi’s throat.I yanked him upward so fast

Kira’s POVOkay.Let’s try this again.I opened one eye carefully, like maybe if I did it gently enough reality would also be gentle back.Dark stone ceiling.Rough walls.Cold air.Unfamiliar surroundings.I shut my eyes immediately.Nope.I opened it again slowly this time…praying silently that this was just a dream.But no! Still there.I shut it harder this time, as if commitment might help.By the third attempt, I accepted two things.One, I was awake.Two, I was in some damp, cave-looking nightmare that smelled like mold, death, and bad decisions.I slowly sat up and instantly regretted it when pain throbbed at the back of my head.“Wonderful,” I muttered. “Concussion in a medieval cave. Love that for me.”“You are awake.”I nearly screamed. No. I screamed. But I nearly peed on myself.What the hell?The voice came from directly in front of me.I jerked my head up and found a girl crouched a few feet away, staring at me with such intense devotion that my soul immediately tried t
