A solid slap landed on Elle’s cheek. That slap was more like a punch to her that she felt like her skin would be peeled off her face. “I told you to keep an eye on that girl! Yet, you let Ruan get her pregnant?! How can I make her mine if she’s already tainted by other man?!” Elle lifted her gaze towards the person before her, who’s expression displayed a ferocious angry beast. And the moment she met that fierce and cold gaze made her shudder in fear. Lancelot was extremely mad this time. Too angry that he could kill her right now. Unable to hold his gaze, she looked at her palms that was on the ground as she sat there after being thrown off due to the force of Lancelot’s slap. Her cheek still stung and she can’t seem to hear on her ear on that side. “Ruan was really quick to make sure he can use that blessed-lady for himself…” Lancelot muttered; his tone was finally calm. Although he still had a disgusted look on his face. He was planning to steal t
Ruan slammed the door shut in his office, heading straight to the small bathroom inside. His breathing was uneven as sweat fell from his forehead. As he looked at himself through the mirror, all he saw was a beast filled with lust. Damn. He wanted Kaliyah so badly. He wanted her so much that he even thought of ripping those thin sheet of red fabric that barely covered her voluptuous body. However, what if he hurt her and the baby inside her? He swears to himself that he’ll be a good father. Who will protect and take care of their child… But what if he lost his control and hurt their child instead? “F*ck.” He punched the sink with all his strength to release his frustration. A crack was visible after it. He was aware that he often got rough on Kaliyah, losing all his senses once he made love to her. As fragile as her, won’t it be dangerous for their child if he f*ck Kaliyah senselessly? But if he still restrains himself, he’ll sure
Her wedding was something that Kaliyah always imagined a thousand of times before. She imagined how she wore her white gown, walking down the aisle with hundred of eyes on her. she imagined walking towards the man at the end of the carpet, waiting for her arri8valn to take her hand and hold it forever. The music was mellow and lovely, accompanied by the ringing of bell. She imagined it thousands of times before. Although what she never imagined was that she was now marrying her ex-mate’s enemy. Ruan Dark, the crown prince of Darkenshire Kingdom. The future Alpha which was feared throughout the continent. She always imagined her wedding but with Fenris. And now, she was marrying a man she never even thought to wed. “Where is you wedding dress?” Samantha asked, pinning the last flower ornament in her hair. “Fiona will bring it later to me,” she replied, looking at her through the mirror. However, her eyes diverted to the door of her room when a k
Kaliyah wanted to scream the pain she was feeling right now. She wanted to confront Ruan. To ask him why he did such thing to her.Clenching his jaw, he pushed Kaliyah towards Terry, although as he spoke, he was commanding everyone of his men. “Protect her at all cost!” he says, staring at Kaliyah intently. His eyes were too stoic, bearing no emotion at all that she hardly recognized him. Was he still the same she was about to marry?“That woman…” his voice suddenly shifted into a gentler tone for a moment, before it turned back to the authoritative one, he used before. “…she bears the future of our kingdom! Protect her at the cost of your lives!”“We swear to protect our Luna, Alpha!”Breaking their stares, Ruan transformed into his black-furred wolf and disappeared into the heated-up battle. He let out an imposing loud howl, followed by his men who now shifted into their true form too.Even Terry and his fellow followed suit. And it wasn’t long before Kaliyah couldn’t
“57 Dorumn spies were exposed from our men and half of them were killed during the battle. The others were taken into prison. Apparently, they had been working at different ranks and status in our kingdom and were secretly sending information about our kingdom.” After his report, Terry placed the files on Ruan’s desk. Still, Ruan didn’t reply. Their alpha had been so silent after the battle ended. Terry looked at him, although he could only see the back of his head because he was facing the wall as he sits on his chair.Troy was the next to put his report paper on the desk, stacking it above Terry’s.“We lost three of our men and several were currently injured. Gavin and I already attended to the family of the deceased and made sure that they were compensated enough.”After his long narrative, Ruan just waved his hand as a smoke was seen floating in the air above him. The air in the room was already heavy with cigarette smoke.How long does he intend to smoke endlessly?Th
Kaliyah hadn’t dreamed of Elle’s passing. However, every time she closes her eyes, that exact scene how she jumped on that cliff flashed in in her mind. This sent her chills and fear at every moment that she was unable to sleep. She felt a gentle tap on her back, reminding her of Gray’s presence in the room. “I’m okay, Gray,” she told him, a hint for him to stop trying to comfort her anymore. Accompanying her since yesterday was enough for her. that way, she felt less scared. “You’re not cheating with my other nephew, are you?” Hearing that familiar feminine voice, Kaliyah turned around and found Samantha sitting at the side of her bed. She got up; eyes filled with shock at what she just said. “T-that won’t ever happen!” she yelped, glancing at Gray who was at the terrace. He was sitting on the rails, looking at them. And this made her embarrassed and anxious. As if she said nothing controversial, Samantha just shrugged her shoulders and
When Kaliyah fainted, Gray suddenly popped out of nowhere, catching her within his arms. Even Terry, Gavin and Troy didn’t have that fast reaction to go and prevent her fall. As they were all stunned too. How the hell did he does that in just a split of second? Had he always been there watching them from a far? And only appear when Kaliyah fainted? Seeing that scene, Ruan’s gaze squinted. And fck. He’s jealous! His murderous eyes met with Gray. Without an ounce of guilt, he threw the lifeless body of his enemy that he just killed and he went straight to him. He grabbed Kaliyah from him. Although he hated to stain Kaliyah with dirty blood of lowly people, he loathed it more to let her be stolen from him by other men. He’d rather cover her with stinky blood too, than to watch her in other men’s embrace. “Hands off my woman, Gray.” His voice was cold and threatening as he warned Gray when he refused to let Kaliyah go. Feeling a hand
Kaliyah went out of the carriage, looking up at the dilapidated building. From its broken walls where wild vines crawl, everyone would assume that no one lives here. “Are you going in alone again?” She turned behind her where the voice was coming from. However, Gray popped beside her. He, too, was staring at the building scrutinizingly. “Hmm,” she nodded. “I have some personal things to ask the priest.” Like always, Gray didn’t inquire more. He just let her do whatever she wanted, but still making sure he’s beside her. Thinking of this, Kaliyah cannot help but feel grateful. “Gray.” The man glanced at her; his gray eyes were warmer than Fenris’ eyes. She continued. “Thank you for accompanying me. Always. I know you will always be beside me whenever I needed you.” “I prefer actions rather than words, Kaliyah. If you wanted to show your gratitude, do it with actions instead. But, I’d rather you do not. You can’t bear it’s consequences.
