บททั้งหมดของ He Killed Me, So I Married His Ruthless Alpha Brother: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Katherine’s POVONE DAY LATER...Arthur and the royal guard escorted us directly to the high eastern tower. I was given a grand, lavish bedroom that was twice the size of the room I had shared with Alexander back in the Feral Pack. I refused to let the babies sleep in a separate nursery; I had their three bassinets arranged in a protective half-circle right at the foot of my massive bed, ensuring I would never have to take my eyes off them.Francisca had been officially appointed as my head maid, and she immediately took charge of three younger girls assigned to help with the pups. My babies were growing stronger by the hour, though Sebastian, the pack healer, insisted he would still sneak into the tower every night for their daily check-ups.I sat on the edge of the mattress, watching Kander sleep. I had already lost their father to the shadows of his own mind; I refused to lose my children, too."You may leave us," Francisca said softly to the three young maids. Once the doors sh

Katherine’s POV"Wow. That is quite a bold tone coming from the woman who was blessed with an ancient healing power, only to just throw it all away," my mother sneered. She pushed her chair back and marched toward me, aggressively pointing a finger at my chest. "Do you have any idea how powerful and respected you would be right now if you hadn't drained every last drop of your energy for that man?"My inner wolf bared her teeth, but I stood my ground. "That man was my husband, my Alpha... the father of your grandchildren," I fired back. "I would sacrifice my power a thousand times over to honor him. Something you and your husband clearly know nothing about."My father slammed his teacup down on the glass saucer. "Watch your tongue, Katherine! Your mother is right. You wasted a legendary gift on a dead man, and now look at you. A pathetic, powerless widow begging for scraps of charity from King Jonathan just to keep your sickly pups breathing."I scoffed bitterly. They had insulted me s

Katherine’s POVI took a deep breath—in and out. Tonight was the peak of the mating season. I had to keep myself completely calm, but ever since Alexander's "death," the mating bond inside me had felt completely hollow. It was as if the bond itself had been cursed; a brutal punishment from the Goddess because I had used forbidden magic to drag him back from the afterlife.I pushed the heavy thoughts away and stood over the bassinets, watching the babies finally sleep.Suddenly, Francisca hurried into the room. The head maid’s eyes flicked nervously toward the doorway, silently warning me to look at who was walking in right behind her.It was my mother, flanked by her older sister, my Aunt Valeria."Look, the—" my mother began, her voice loud and entitled as she stepped into the room.I immediately spun around and cut her off before she could even finish the sentence."It took me hours to get them to sleep," I hissed in a quiet whisper. "If you want to speak to me, we are not doing it

Katherine’s POV"You seem like you have already calmed down..." I whispered, my voice trembling slightly as his lips lingered near my chest."I am," he murmured, his hot breath brushing against my skin."Then what did you do to the woman who was just in here?" I asked, genuinely curious. Honestly, his outburst had just saved me from fighting off an entire hallway of desperate she-wolves, since they were all too terrified to step near his door now.He pulled back slightly, his crimson eyes blinking in mild confusion. "What woman?""The... woman," I clarified, my heart still pounding."Oh. That woman.""Yes.""She made my blood boil," he stated simply, casually trailing a large, rough finger down my collarbone. "I hated the way she smelled.""Her scent? Did she not bathe before she came to your chambers?" I asked, bewildered.He frowned, a sudden flash of Alpha irritation crossing his face. "She looked clean enough. But why the hell am I explaining myself to you?""I am just curious why

Katherine’s POVBefore I could even process his sudden silence, Alexander moved with swift care. He snatched the heavy wool blanket off the back of the settee and wrapped it securely around my shoulders, tucking it tightly against my bare skin to shield me.The hunger in his red eyes vanished instantly. His broad shoulders slumped just a fraction, his dark eyebrows furrowing deep in bitter self-loathing."I don't want you to think that I am just using you because I am in a rut," he muttered, his voice rough and stripped of all its usual arrogance. "Excuse my language, but I feel sick about the way I treated you from the very moment we met. I was acting like a monster in front of you, completely blind to the fact that you were my mate."He looked utterly in pain, unable to even meet my gaze."Alexander, look at me," I whispered softly."How can I look at you?" he groaned, dragging a massive hand down his face. "You are giving me a heart attack.""I am not," I whispered, a watery, affe
