Chapter 141

Kieran pov

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.)

The sound of the clock ticking was the only thing I could hear as I lay on the wooden bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling in at daze, lost and drowning in my thoughts.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

The clock kept ticking, moving as though it was counting down to something inevitable, something that could happen at any moment. But to me, lying limp on the bed, it meant something else.

To me, the ticking meant that time waited for no one.

That it moved on, indifferent to who you were or what you’d lost. Time marched forward, uncaring, relentless..

And as I listened to that maddening tick, it filled me with rage, reminding me of what time had stolen, all the things I could be doing instead of lying here, wasting precious seconds. Most of all, it fueled my fury at the fact that I couldn’t get to that girl right now, to make her pay for what she’d done to me.

Have you ever realized you could hate and love someone at the same time? So much so that they consumed your every thought, and when you thought of them, it was a storm of emotions–hatred, heartache, fury… and a deep, aching longing.

Well, that was me–Kieran as I stared at the ceiling, seething in rage like I had been for the past few days I’d been here.

At one of the rogues‘ hidden camps..

A place I knew all too well, because I had grown up in this filthy dump. And yet, here I was again–right back where ! started, like I’d been dragged straight back to square one.

After what happened that night, when that bitch, Nyssa, broke into my home and poisoned Aria, my mate, before drugging me into unconsciousness, the next thing I knew, I woke up here.

And to my surprise, he was the one who had helped… and brought us here.

That man who didn’t care about anyone’s life, who killed without blinking, had actually helped me?

I’d been shocked but I wasn’t delusional enough to think he did it out of the goodness of his heart.

He was the feared leader of the rogues. That man didn’t have a heart to begin with.

So when I said I wanted to go back to the Emberfang Pack and take my revenge on Nyssa, he actually convinced me not to.

He told me that if I went back, everyone would believe what happened to Aria was my fault.

That no one would see me as the victim because Nyssa had staged the scene so convincingly, it looked like everything had been done by me.

And according to him, he said:

“Tell me, who would believe an unknown man with no real background over the beloved daughter of a respected Alpha)

Even though his tone had sounded almost concerned, the mockery and amusement in his voice were clear as day.

He’d also said something else that sent a chill straight down my spine:

“And that girl… if she sees you again, you’re dead, Kael. I don’t know what kind of bad blood exists between you two, but the hatred I saw in her eyes as she walked away from your home–that was deep.”

And for some reason, I believed him.

If I went back to the Emberfang pack, Nyssa would kill me because I still remembered the look in her eyes as she watched the poison spread through her best friend’s body with a smile.

I remembered the way she looked at me when she told me to drink the poison and die… if I wanted Aria to live.

She hadn’t even hesitated when she said it, like she was an entirely different person.

She wasn’t the shy girl I had gotten used to anymore.

I There was no trace of love left in her. Only a pure, unrelenting hatred and as much as I hated to admit it, that got to me.

That look… that raw hatred in her eyes… it was all I could see whenever I thought of her.

And that was when I knew, Nyssa would never love me the way she used to. She would never accept me again.

Something told me it wasn’t just about me cheating with Aria. No, it was deeper than that… and before I realized it, all l could think about was her.

Those eyes that used to twinkle whenever she saw me.

That smile that always seemed to light up the room when she was around me.

That laugh.

I wanted all of it back. I wanted her back.

And just imagining her smiling like that for someone else, especially that cursed king, only made my anger boil hotter with each passing second.

So when the leader of the rogues offered his suggestion, I listened.

“But I can help you, Kael. I’ll give you everything you’ve always wanted, and I’ll support you. After all, I need that Alpha of Emberfang dead. He’s been digging into things he shouldn’t. If he’s not stopped, I’ll be exposed. So I’ll help you kill him, avenge your father’s death, and once he’s gone… the Alpha’s position, the power, everything you’ve ever wanted will be yours.”

I had agreed without a second thought.

Yes, he had his own selfish reasons and planned to use me, but he was powerful, he had most of the rogues under his

command.

If I wanted everything back… if I wanted Nyssa back, I needed his help.

Because with his support, everything would fall into place.
