Killian
The man instructed his followers to escort us back to the base of the mountain. In the midst of my contemplation, he boldly declared himself to be my long-lost twin. In my confused and disoriented state, I couldn't comprehend how I had returned to our realm. Despite the whirlwind of thoughts swirling in my mind, I clung tightly to Serena, never letting her go. As we approached Serena's cherished spot, a place that was once my sanctuary in my youth, it now held a deep resentment within me due to this princess.
I began by checking if the horse that Serena had taken from the Alpha was still present. However, my inspection was abruptly interrupted by a powerful punch from the Alpha, jolting me back to reality. As I struggled to maintain my balance, my foot left a mark on the ground. To my surprise, both the Alpha and Battalion were already waiting for us. It seemed that the border guards had promptly alerted them, as I had anticipated. Following the impact, I remained motionless, not because I possessed greater strength than the Alpha, but out of fear of accidentally dropping Serena to the ground. I was well aware that the Alpha was capable of inflicting far worse upon me if Serena were to fall. I highly doubted he would ever forgive me if I allowed Serena to be harmed.
"Killian, what has transpired this time? Why has my daughter been injured? Do not attempt to deceive me, for I can see the trace of her blood upon the chilled ground!" I swallowed nervously and proceeded to answer the Alpha's inquiry.
"I apologize, your highness. You know I would never deceive you. I always keep you informed about Serena's well-being. It is my fault. I believed she was already asleep when I departed from the palace, and I swear that the other guard, Joshaque, the son of our clan's other Zeta, was already present when I left. After spotting the princess venturing into the forest, I followed her, and that is when we were attacked by a rogue individual." I paused, recalling the man's name, Kyzer. I had no intention of lying to our Alpha, but I had a deeper reason for withholding information. After all, he did not inquire if I was acquainted with the assailant or aware of their whereabouts, did he? I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "That would have been the truth if last night Adriana, the Beta's daughter, had not engaged me in conversation before I departed. I did not witness Serena riding Phoenix through the woods. However, upon seeing the stolen horse, I immediately recognized the headstrong princess's handiwork. I chose not to inform the Alpha, as I believe he is already aware of his daughter's actions." The Alpha let out a weary sigh.
"Let's go, she needs to rest," the Alpha spoke in a calm tone after I had finished explaining.
Among all the soldiers he had, the second Zeta's son and I were the only ones he trusted to guard his troublesome princess.
"From now on, you will remain in the princess's room while you guard her, as long as she is in the palace. However, be cautious not to invade her personal space. Instead, maintain a heightened level of alertness. I do not want a repeat of what happened. My enemies have become more aggressive lately. I wish I could impose a harsher punishment upon you, but because you did not let the princess come to harm, I recognize that you went to great lengths to protect her earlier. Your punishment will be three days of solitary surveillance, watching over her for twenty-four hours a day. Joshaque, on the other hand, bears more responsibility for the incident. He failed to fulfill his duties properly and should be grateful to you. Since you saw Serena's escape, otherwise, I cannot guarantee my actions if anything were to happen to my daughter. His punishment will be more severe and will also last three days. Therefore, you must endure the company of Serena alone for these days."
I let out a deep sigh inwardly. After the Alpha's explanation, I even heard Luna pleading with the Alpha to reconsider his decision. However, I believed that this was still a better outcome than being in Joshaque's current position. I glanced at the mischievous princess in my arms. Her disheveled black hair and closed emerald green eyes only added to her undeniable beauty, a beauty that held a touch of danger. I clenched my teeth, feeling a surge of disdain towards this princess. If only I could toss this brat aside without any consequences. Tsk... if only I could.
"Kilian! I'm asking if that's okay with you. If not, then maybe I should come up with another way to punish you." My eyes widened in panic at his words. I quickly shook my head and replied, "I agree, Alpha, it's fine." I couldn't help but jump in panic. The Alpha tilted his head in a serious manner before turning away. I let out a sigh of relief. After escorting the princess to her room, the Alpha instructed me to call a doctor. I nodded hastily and within minutes, the doctor arrived to examine the princess while I waited outside.
Once the doctor had finished her duties, I inquired about the well-being of the brat only once. When she assured me that the princess was now fine, I bid her farewell. I entered the room, expecting to find Serena there, but to my dismay, she was nowhere to be seen. Damn it! Where has this troublesome young lady gone off to now? I checked the closet and the library doors, but she was nowhere in sight. Does she truly want to ruin my life? Frustration washed over me as I ran my fingers through my hair, and that's when I noticed the bathroom door. Without hesitation, I opened it. However, what greeted me was her nearly naked figure. Shit! Shit! I cursed repeatedly in my mind. It was as if I had forgotten why I was there in the first place. It felt like my memory had been wiped clean.
But my senses were abruptly brought back to reality by her scream. I immediately closed the door, feeling as if someone had struck me on the head. I noticed a bar of soap lying on the floor. Did the brat hit me with that? However, because I couldn't get the image of what I had just seen out of my mind, her figure lingered in my thoughts until she emerged from the bathroom once again, almost naked. Fuck! I'm screwed! I'm damned! She screamed again, even louder this time, as if she could drag my soul into a scorching abyss, which I believed was where I had come from. The temperature seemed to drop to unbearable levels, as if I were trapped in a hellish inferno due to my current predicament.
I took a moment to regain my composure, trying to steady my heavy breathing. Once I had calmed down, my initial defense strategy was to show Serena that I had no intentions towards her, which was true. Seeing her naked body didn't change the fact that I couldn't develop feelings for her. She had already caused me a great deal of harm. We argued again as she entered her closet. While I silently admitted in my head that she was indeed perfect, her sharp tongue served as a constant reminder that she was the most stubborn woman I had ever encountered, and definitely not someone I desired.
However, as I stood in the corner of the dining room, listening to the conversations of the royal family and the Beta's family during dinner, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of irrationality knowing that Serena was going to marry the Beta's son. I couldn't explain why I felt this way. But my anger persisted until I escorted the princess to her room alongside Alonzo, the Beta's son. They came to a halt in front of Serena's door, and the brat glanced at me.
"Stay here, Alonzo and I need some time," she commanded. In response, I crossed my arms over my chest.
"That will never happen, the Alpha..." I began to say, but she quickly covered my lips with her hand. "Okay, well, if you want to witness an intimate show, that's your choice," she said solemnly, causing frustration to well up within me. This woman was determined to test my patience!
"You mean you and that guy?" I stared at Alonzo. In truth, I despised him for his arrogance. If his father hadn't been a Beta, he would be nothing. I could easily get rid of him on this planet.
He had a wide grin on his face, clearly relishing the
idea of being alone with Serena.
Serena Of course, my comment about intimacy was meant as a joke. There is no romantic relationship between Alonzo and me; we are simply good friends. However, I used that joke to tease Killian because I was frustrated with having to follow my father's orders. As I made my way to my chamber, I couldn't help but express my annoyance. I'm tired of Killian's constant presence! I insisted that I needed to speak to Alonzo privately, and it was important for Killian not to be present due to the confidential nature of our conversation. Although it was just a fabrication on my part. Before I could enter my room, I encountered Adriana, Alonzo's older sister, walking towards me with a confident sway in her hips. I have never been fond of her; I dislike everything about her, from her hair to her smug smile. Adriana greeted her brother and gave a slight bow to me. I am well aware that she doesn't genuinely like me, mainly because Killian is my guard. I know she has a fondness for him, despite h
"Killian Adriana called out, trying to get my attention. "I'm thrilled that Luna assigned me this task. I may not particularly like that brat, but as long as you're my partner, everything will be fine," her voice filled with a mix of excitement and determination. "Killian, are you even listening?" Adriana muttered, clearly annoyed by his distraction. While Adriana spoke, my focus remained on the princess and her companion. I couldn't help but wonder what they were plotting this time. Serena seemed to have completely forgotten about our previous encounter, but the image of her exposed body was still vivid in my mind. My thoughts were clouded, making it difficult to think clearly. All of this is solely the fault of that brat. The door abruptly slammed shut in front of me as the Beta's son and the princess entered the room, interrupting my train of thought. In an attempt to calm my nerves, I tilted my head slightly. "Don't worry, they'll be fine in there," Adriana reassured me, e
Serena"I caught a glimpse of Killian's back as he walked away. I was stressed as a result of what had occurred. Alonzo went out. I suppose my father asked him to be at that meeting too, though I still need to talk to him. I think maybe that was better than being teased by him. All night long, until he thought about going back homeAdriana exited the room after my father requested it.I groan, knowing that, with those piercing eyes, I'm doomed."With just a short period of time, you manage to give me too much headache, young lady!"Before I look at my father again, I close my eyes."Please accept my apologies, father; I swear I didn't mean it. As Adriana stated, "I simply fell.""Serena, your mother was too worried about you; when would you act like a responsible one, huh?"I lowered my head and apologized once more. Other than that, there was nothing I could do. This conversation would be longer if I opened my mouth to clarify or explain myself. And for the time being, I just want pea
Killian" I could see through the alpha's face how angry he was. His hand was trembling, holding the tip of his sword. I want to run away, yet I realise why I would run away. I haven't done anything wrong. Still, I was jittering inside. I want to glare at Serena for what she had done, though we both looked at her father. When would I be free to play with this brat? She was ruining me slowly. Then again, Adriana saved my ass through the alpha's wrath. I was mad, however, when Serena talked about her future with that son of beta. I think I am beyond mad now. It's a good thing that the Alpha dismissed me because of the meeting; otherwise, the blood that I saw in my head would be real. I look at my father and maintain my blank expression while shaking my head. I was planning to investigate the man who has the same face as mine after my punishment, and I could have extra time after Joshaque's come back from his duty. I know that my fellow Zeta is in trouble now, yet there's nothing I
before the sun rises. It was still dark outside, the dullness of the place covering every moving creature, although some of the holes outside gave the place a little bit of borrowed light from the moon outside of this damn place. A shadow of a man jumped to the place to place this creature, which lurked in the caliginous place until he reached the mansion that he could conceivably have found the person that he had been looking for. The mansion of the Zapanta's is one of the zeta's of the crimson blood pack. The stronger zeta of the group of wolves living in this, let's call it an isolated place, The man sits on the sofa as he manages to sneak into the said house like he was the owner. He waited until the person that he wanted to The man that he thought had died a long time ago That man was his uncle. The light bulb turned on, and the not-so-old man jumped in surprise when he saw that he was sitting on the sofa. "What the! "You surprised me, Killian. I thought that you came back
"Meeting of the highest rank" "Alpha, we hadn't seen the rogue who attacked the princess." "They were too experts; they hid all the possible things that could lead us to find them." The alpha couldn't hide his anger. Just a few minutes ago, the member group of the hunter for food came to him, telling him that they haven't seen enough animals to add to their stock. If their farm hadn't been buried by a huge landslide, food would not have been a problem for another year, but over the past few years, a lot of holes from above have been slowly eroding. A meter-sized hole, from above, was slowly getting bigger. Sometimes the alpha was afraid that someday the realm would be next to be buried in that soil that came from above. He has to know what is happening and why the hole is slowly sliding. Yet his newest problem now is maybe the group of rogues who attack his daughter, who probably recognize Serena's identity by now. ________ Killian" I glare at the man before I follow Serena. My
Kyzer" "If I had known that my twin and you were alive, I might have attacked this kingdom that ruined my family a long time ago." "Mom had maybe seen my twin before she died. "You're kidding me, right?" Killian?" That was Uncle Colton's utterance after a minute of being shocked by my presence. I grin... "You still think that I'm Killian?" Are you saying that you hadn't hidden from my brother that he has a twin? It seems not; I can see through his eyes the last time we met. Uncle Colton shook his head. "Kyzer? "Is that really you?" I smirked, "glad you still remember." Uncle steps closer to me. Where the hell have you been? "What are you saying that will ruin your family?" I look intently into my uncle's eyes. He seems to be telling the truth, but he doesn't know what truly happened to our family. "I guess we had a lot of things to talk about. Yet first of all, we have to talk confidentially. _________ Serena" I raised an eyebrow as I saw Adriana standing in front of Kill
Kyzer" The light from each orifice above was giving this dark place a cosy feeling, so I'm sure that the sun was already soaring from the sky. The image of the sky and the sun was on my mind as I recalled all of the tales that my mom spun when I was a child. The only good memory that I have is of my childhood. as we step into one of the rooms. I can sense that some of the people in the mansion have awoken already. I have to be careful not to be noticed by anyone. I sit on the sofa. I examine my uncle's features. He stares at me in disbelief. However, the longing that I have been feeling for all of this year I can see through his lustrous golden eyes now. "Now tell me, what happened?" That night, when my brother stated that we needed to pack our things because we needed to evacuate, I had no idea what was happening that night. My brother and his wife were both hysterical. I don't have a chance to ask them; I just go with the flow. Listen for what I needed to do until we were separat
