◼Nikolas POV◼
I walk unconsciously towards her bedroom. I was so lost in my thoughts that everything around me was a blur.
I kept walking, ignoring everyone. Their glares were full of pity and sadness.
I should cry. I was. I just couldn’t, and I don’t know why.
I had stopped crying a day before. It felt like I had emptied myself. Just someone roaming this earth for no reason at all. Was that strange?
A hollow feeling in my chest felt like I was dead. I’ve been wishing all this was a nightmare, one I would wake up and see my love sleeping in my arms.
Opening the door slowly, I walk in and shut it.
◼Nikolas POV◼ “Is he awake?” I asked as I headed to the cellars. Alpha Maximus and Liam join me as we head to the cellars. It seems Emanuel was awake. We needed information about Rose and him, but I wanted to know more about that second amulet. Liam had a small talk with me last night about Rose. He thinks there might be a possibility that Rose can come back to life. But the chances for that to happen are twenty out of 100. I won’t lie. Those twenty are hoping for me. Also, I haven’t told the guys about the crown. Today when I woke up, I notice it was still humming. It was like it was trying to tell me something, but what? Finally reaching the end of the hallway, we enter the roo
◼Nikolas POV◼ Arriving at the chamber on the outskirts of the clan, my men and I get down and head inside. The place was like a house. A two-story mansion with several rooms that go from the first floor below. From the outside, it might look normal, but from the inside, the place was eerie. Telling my men to wait, I head down. Liam had explained that Rose’s chamber was on the fifth floor. It was the only chamber on that floor, easy to see. So, doing as he told me so, I creep until I reach that floor. And just like Liam said, a grand black double door stood all alone in the hallway. An inscription in Latin engraved on the door. Taking a deep breath, I knock twice. Waiting for the door to open. I look around. Nothing. I remember Liam said that I had
◼Rose POV◼ How everything started six years ago… I sat in the mansion’s library, checking some papers and reading some books. It has intrigued me to know more about the Kingdom of Gaels. It intrigued me. “My queen, the things you order are here,” one of the guards said. Nodding my head, I put the book away and head out. Checking the contents on the box, I see the witch clan head towards the room. “Greeting, Rose,” the witch said with a warm smile. “Hi, is something wrong,” I asked. “I saw you are investigating about Gaels,” the witch said,
◼Rose POV◼ We were heading to that bastard place. Just my brother, my lover, and I. Watching the scenery outside, I keep thinking about everything that had happened. I kept thinking that now that I believe in love, I would lose it. The sacrifices I’m making have paid an enormous price. But everything will work out, eventually. I may sound like the most heartless person. My brother told me it didn’t matter, but down deep inside me, it did. First, I hated the pregnancy, but seeing Nikolas happy and Liam excited about becoming an uncle may not be a bad thing. I also was loving the idea of a baby, but I had no choice. Selfish, to say the least. Taking a deep breath, I let it out and relax. By the time we arrive, maybe Nikolas and everyone else would be there. I had to calculate everything
◼Rose POV◼This was news to me. I was a being that held all the traits and qualities of our creators.“You know what’s worse. My own brothers didn’t wish to kill you. They had this stupid idea you would be what we needed, well too bad because I don’t need someone like you,” the bastard said.I was in shock. Was all this true? Or where this lies?“Lies, right?” I asked with my head lowered.“Lies? I wish, but it’s not,” the bastard said.I started laughing out loud. But, my goddess, was all this true then?“What the fuck are you la
◼Rose POV◼ Somehow I had fallen asleep on the way. Feeling someone shaking me, I open my eyes and see my brother carrying me out of the car. I felt tired, the pain in the leg unbearable. So I let myself fall asleep in my brother’s arm. Reaching the bedroom, I feel my brother laid me down in bed. Let the tiredness take over. I fall asleep. My body was finally aching; I could feel my leg hurting a lot. I didn’t want to move. So, I decided it was best to rest. The following day, I woke up to the brightness of the sun. Sitting up in bed, I look at the mountains. It was a beautiful day. But, I felt something was different. Something had changed. A knock on the door distracts me from my thoughts. Letting the person in, I see my brother
◼Rose POV◼ Three years later… “Let’s get our new recruits ready and have them trained in three months,” Liam ordered. “No way. What about the other?” Renata argued. “I said no, they have their duty. Also, they are to be sent to Jordan,” Liam continues saying, “Plus, remember he asked for the first, so don’t bargain with me.” Sighing, I stand up and grab a sword. Walking over to the new recruit, I explain what we will do. Renata and Liam continue arguing, ignoring me altogether. Practicing the sword has become one of my new hobbies. The movement that I require has been a help to my injured leg. Even though I stil
◼Nikolas◼Three years ago…I watch her leave like that. A coward was the only thought I had in mind.I fist my hands in anger. I wanted to stop her, to see her turn around and beg for forgiveness. But, instead, she did nothing. She just walks away.Heading back to the car, I remove the crown from my head and watch as we finally leave. That bastard’s body was disposed of. Making sure we left no trace of him.All the way back home, I felt the need to turn back and head to Rose clans. But just thinking about seeing her pissed me. I should have taught her a lesson. Frustration, I look at the crown and throw it against the seat. I hated it. Why did she
