∆JULIAN’S POV∆Adric kept his large, warm hand firmly wrapped around mine.The moment the loud crash echoed through the large council chamber, every single person inside gasped in terror. Seeing the tall, silver-haired Alpha King step through the cloud of dust, the elders, guards, and servants immediately dropped onto their knees, pressing their faces all the way against the floor in deep fear.When their eyes landed on me standing right beside him, wrapped in his massive coat, Alpha Blake and Rook looked completely stunned. Lila, standing near the front platform, glared at me with pure, murderous hatred burning in her eyes.Adric didn't tell anyone to stand up. He didn't even look at them. Instead, he pulled a chair over to my side, stepping directly in front of me.To my complete surprise, the powerful Alpha King reached down and used his own dark sleeve to gently wipe the seat clean. The council room was cleaned every single day by servants, so there wasn't a single speck of dust

∆JULIAN’S POV∆My body was on fire. I had thought the poison from that awful drug was completely gone after last time, but I was wrong. It had only been hiding under my skin, waiting for the right moment to strike again.I lay in the middle of the bed, my consciousness drifting in and out as fierce waves of heat crashed through my blood. At first, I tried to fight it. I squeezed my eyes shut, digging my fingernails into my palms, praying for my mind to stay clear. But as the minutes dragged on, the torture inside me grew so intense that my willpower simply shattered.I couldn't stop thinking about Alpha King Adric.His sharp, handsome face flashed behind my eyelids. I remembered the gentle look in his golden eyes, the deep sound of his voice, and the soft heat of his lips against mine. Most of all, my clouded mind kept playing back the sound of him swallowing, the sight of his silver head buried between my thighs while he took my dick into his warm mouth to save me.‘Please,’ I prayed

∆JULIAN’S POV∆When I opened my eyes, the terrible, burning fever that had plagued my veins was finally gone.My body felt completely exhausted, like every single bone had been melted and poured back together, but my mind was completely clear. I was tucked neatly under a warm blanket in the middle of the large mattress, fresh clothes on my back, and the smell of clean soap replacing the scent of blood and sweat.Right beside the bed, Adric was sitting in a wooden chair. He had one arm resting on the edge of the mattress, leaning his jaw against his hand as his sharp golden eyes stared down at me. He wasn't saying a word, just watching me breathe with an intense, unreadable look on his handsome face.In a second, the memories of everything that had happened last night came crashing straight into my head.I remembered everything. Every single embarrassing, shameless detail. I remembered screaming at him, grabbing his clothes, begging him to touch me, and crying out like a wild animal un

∆JULIAN’S POV∆"Even if you're the Alpha King, you can't just restrict my movements like this."I braced both hands against the edge of the mattress, resisting with everything I had as Adric tried to scoop me into his arms again. This was far from the first time I had insisted on getting out of bed on my own feet.Yes, my leg was hurt, but it was nowhere near bad enough to leave me crippled or helpless. Besides, after using the cooling ointment the royal physician had sent over, the wound was already healing fast. The pain had faded into a dull, manageable ache.But no matter what I said, Adric always used my injured leg as a convenient excuse to stop me from taking more than three steps on my own. And he had even come up with a completely ridiculous way to justify it. Wherever I wanted to go, Adric declared he would simply carry me there himself. According to him, that was his solemn duty as my mate.Just like right now.I had only wanted to step outside the room to get a breath of f

∆JULIAN’S POV∆"Lord Andrew," I called out gently as he turned to leave the corridor. "Could you please take a look at Theo’s eye before you go? It was injured badly years ago, and I was hoping….” Andrew stopped in his tracks, turning his head back just enough to shoot me a sharp, arrogant look from the corner of his eye."I am the chief physician of the royal family," Andrew cut in, his tone cold and dripping with condescension. "I take orders exclusively from His Majesty Alpha King Adric. You, servant, currently hold zero authority to give me commands."Without waiting for a response, he flicked his dark cloak over his shoulder and strolled away, his head held high in the air.I stood there in the doorway, staring after him. I could clearly feel the sharp hostility coming from the man, but I didn't dwell on it too much. I simply assumed it was the normal attitude of a high-ranking noble looking down on someone like me, a former lowest-ranking servant of the Frost Pack.I turned bac
