Chapter 85POV: King Hades PierceHe could sense the tension slowly intensifying around them. And he knew that it was because of his dark and enraged aura. He must stay calm but thinking about his Kingsman’s betrayal was making his inner wolf growl in deep fury.“I am giving you the opportunity to talk and explain yourself, Dillion. Why did you do this?” He said in between his gritting teeth.But Dillion just let out a small smile – making him a bit more impatient.“You aren’t like this, Your Majesty. You should have just ended my life, right here – right now. You already caught me, right?” Dillion coolly stated.It seemed like his eyes were looking at him with melancholy hidden in them – as if they mirrored some pain and grief inside. But now, he just couldn’t decipher whether he still believed what he had been seeing. Especially that he had already been caught off guard – revealing his own betrayal.Hades already had a tiny hint that one of his third in command was the one spying on
Chapter 86POV: Queen Tamara PierceBeing with Hades and knowing about his plans, she already knew how he was affected by everything that was happening. It wouldn’t be easy for him to fight this war with the Darkwoods, especially since they had already caught the traitor. The news about it might have crushed him by now.No matter how much he tried to act tough and intimidating, she just knew that he was broken inside. She saw how sad his eyes were the moment he arrived – with his subordinates.His eyes were lost and glittering with pain and miserable emotions that were making her feel the same way.“Hey…” She said in a low voice as she saw Hades going inside their room.He told her that he would visit Dillion and Shimuel in their rooms.Hades heaved a deep sigh.“Hey…” His voice was gruff, and she could sense a tinge of exhaustion in it.He gave her a soft small smile as he walked towards her and kissed her head.“Why aren’t you resting yet?” He gently asked as he sat beside her on th
Chapter 87POV: King Hades Pierce“I have something to tell you.” Raven seriously stated as he entered the Throne Room.He had this unreadable expression painted on his face.Hades just finished talking to Arlan and Shimuel about Dillion’s grave. No matter how he had committed this unlawful act, he couldn’t deny the fact that he still wanted his corpse to be buried near the palace.“About what?” He matched his seriousness with his – he even raised his left brow in response.Raven heaved a deep sigh.“I talked to Dillion before he died.” He languidly started while Hades remained silent – waiting for him to continue his words.“He told me his reasons for doing everything he did. He said that his family is indebted to Lamina’s father, and he couldn’t do anything but follow the last promise he had sworn to his father.” Raven added.Hades leaned against his throne as he tried to remain expressionless.“Well, I don’t see any significance to it all. We all know why the Darkwoods did this tre
Chapter 88POV: King Hades Pierce“Are they all done with the preparations?” He darkly asked his younger brother as he entered the meeting room.Arlan and Shimuel followed him into the room. All of their gazes were directed towards Prince Raven – who was grinning like a madman with his chess board in front of him.“They are already in place. Don’t worry, as what Tamika said, we will just need to do something in that specific thing.” Raven seriously stated as he moved the white queen piece on the board towards where the black king piece was.“Great. Then, we are good to go.” King Hades smirked wickedly as he stood up and nodded at everyone.Prince Raven viciously smiled.“Checkmate.” He sinisterly whispered before he stood up and followed him.Arlan and Shimuel silently followed behind them – with their dark auras like his and Raven’s.“Uhm, one more thing, Your Majesty.” Arlan politely called him – with firmness and seriousness were dripping from his voice.“The Mindsor Clan had alrea
Chapter 89POV: Queen Tamara VikeshShe felt weak all of a sudden – like the stress and exhaustion doubled upon hearing those words from Tamika. But before she could even react, Tamika suddenly fainted as she and Shanaia instantly went to her side.Tamara called one of the sentinel wolves outside the Throne Room when Kage suddenly went inside and carried Tamika into their room.Until now, she hadn’t been on speaking terms with Kage – after everything that happened.She knew that sooner or later she would have to rekindle things with him.“What happened to her?” Kage seriously asked.He looked strangely concerned while looking at Tamika, but she just shrugged it all off.“She suddenly fainted.” She worriedly replied.Kage checked her pulse and heaved a deep sigh.“She must be too exhausted. I recently discovered that she hadn’t been sleeping for three straight days now.” Kage clenched his jaw as he stared at Tamika.They could feel his arising annoyance towards the woman sleeping sound
Chapter 90POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe was standing in front of the massive window glass, where the nearly full moon shone brightly in the dark night sky, when a warm hug from behind her encased her inside.Tamara couldn’t help but smile as she smelled her husband’s familiar scent. She leaned against his chest as they both watched the moon’s lustrous magnificence.Her hair was slowly dancing with the cold wind from the open window.“You should be closing the window now. It is not safe.” Hades seriously reminded her as she heard the bathroom door close.But she didn’t move even a bit. She wanted to feel the cold breeze and close the wide window afterwards. She just missed this kind of atmosphere. She wanted to breath a bit.She heard Hades heave a breathy sigh because of her stubbornness as he slowly walked towards her.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Hades sensually whispered as he leaned down and placed his chin on her shoulder – pulling her a bit closer to her.“I am waiting for you.”
Chapter 91POV: Leah Darkwood“P-Please spare me and my b-baby, Leah. I… I beg you…” Tamara weakly pleaded, but her heart had already hardened by everything that had happened and nothing could ever make it softer again.She had already crossed the bridge where she couldn’t go back anymore. She had decided to do what she wanted, and she had to be firm in her decision.And that choice was to kill Tamara – and nothing else matters now.She could feel the bitterness dripping into her own inner self as she stared at the woman – who had taken everything from her.The woman who had always got everything that she wanted – being protected without her knowing, being loved without any inhibition and without anything in return.Leah instantly wiped away the tears that escaped from her own eyes – as she tried to stifle her intensifying and sensitive emotions.She smirked at her as she slightly shook her head – trying to make her mind set on her real plan, her real motive.There’s no turning back.
Chapter 92POV: Leah DarkwoodHer face turned paperwhite the moment she saw who had just called her name. She had never seen him as furious as this.She felt the hair at the back of her neck stand up as she stood still.“W-What are you doing here?! Stop!” She stammered as she tried to stop Aeron from walking towards her.“Stop doing such a stupid thing, Leah!” Aeron angrily snapped at her.Her mouth went agape as she watched Aeron take the knife from her hands and throw it away. She watched him as he panicked, watching Tamara’s condition in front of him. Her blood instantly boiled.“What the f*ck are you doing?!” She equaled the same ferocity that her younger brother had, but he seemed like he was more engrossed in how to free Tamara from the silver chains – regardless of whether he got burned from it.Leah furiously pulled his arm as she stopped him from untying the chain.“What the hell, Aeron?!” She angrily spat as an absurd idea had crossed her mind.No.She wouldn’t accept that f
