Rowan stared at Arabella who was sleeping. Her eyes were tightly shut, her lips were slightly parted and her long hair was scattered all over the pillow. Rowan sighed looking at her, it's been fucking seven months without seeing her and finally he managed to come here just for a few damn minutes. He needed to go back again. As soon as possible! Watching her gorgeous but pale face, he sighed and slowly got onto the bed.

Looking at Arabella, Rowan moved his eyes towards her belly. She's going to give birth tomorrow but it was such a pity that he wouldn't be able to touch the baby she gave birth to. He touched her belly and stroked it for a while without waking her up. Then he slowly moved closer to her neck and he moved her hair away before biting on her mark. Arabella whimpered as he did that. Moving his hand, he covered her eyes.


Even if she woke up, he didn't want her to see him. Soon, Rowan felt the blood taste and he sucked Arabella's blood. As her blood ran through his body, Rowan felt an unbearable pain against his lower body. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he gripped the headboard of the bed tightly. Then sighed and endured the pain as he pulled Arabella's all the pain into him.

After he was done, Rowan moved away and he felt his legs were trembling. No matter how strong he was, he felt helpless as he felt the pain. He couldn't believe that Arabella was enduring everything all alone inside of her delicate body. He needed to come to her for this, he felt the fear of Arabella losing her life while giving birth so he fucking came here ignoring every thing around him.

When she gives birth she would have to go through something that no one would be able to endure so with this, at least she would be able to endure everything. That's why he came and did this. Watching Arabella's face for a while, Rowan kissed her forehead and then kissed her huge belly. Then he turned to leave. As he turned to leave, suddenly he heard the voice.


"Rowan?"

Clenching his jaws, he lowered his head. Did she wake up? But no.. her breaths were still calm and it was obvious that she was in sleep. Turning back, he looked at her again. Then he saw that she was still sleeping but calling his name. Rowan's fists clenched and he simply walked out of the room without waiting there for more. As he walked out of the house, he saw Lucien who was standing while looking up at the sky.


"Thanks for taking care of her, Lucien," he muttered.

Then turning to him, Lucien chuckled and nodded at him. Watching him for a while, Rowan smiled. He didn't know what to talk with Lucien but he didn't have the time for that either. He needed to leave as soon as possible. He had a mission to finish tonight so for that, he needed to go there and handle the situation.

"How's everything?" Lucien asked him.

Rowan sighed and rubbed his forehead. Is he asking him how's everything? Everything had become worse and so many unexpected and unplanned things happened. He lost so many men and so many strong warriors. So now the battle will be nothing but a deadly one. He didn't even have hopes about his life with what happened but yet, Rowan knew that he was successful. This will be the last battle for him to kill Savater.

"Fine! I need to leave now. Take care of her" without answering Lucien's question, he walked past him and looked back at him.

"Take care… she needs you" Lucien said looking at him. Rowan nodded at him and then simply shifted into his wolf and ran without looking back at Lucien. As Rowan ran, his heart ached. He felt this is the last time he's seeing Arabella and this is the last time he's seeing Lucien and this pack. Thinking about it, Rowan sighed and ignored it as he ran fast.

After running for so long, Rowan arrived at the place. Walking into the cottage, he simply shifted back and wore a pair of pants before coming out. Then he looked around, but there was no one. He frowned looking everywhere and then he walked through the forest not knowing what was going on. As he walked, he saw Edwin who was standing there. He sighed and walked towards Edwin and sighed. Rowan felt weird, he felt that something was not right around him.

"How's she my lord?"

Rowan looked at Edwin as he turned to Rowan and asked. Watching his face for a while, Rowan smiled and nodded as he remembered Arabella. She didn't even see him or she didn't even have the chance to talk to him but that doesn't matter, he saw him and she was all good. The pregnancy was the only thing that hurt her. Thinking about it for a while, Rowan replied.

"She'll give birth tomorrow" Edwin smiled at Rowan and nodded. Seeing him, Rowan sighed and looked around. He was curious why everyone was not there. He asked his men to be here when he comes. They had no time to waste. Watching around, Rowan spoke, moving his eyes back to Edwin.

"Where are they?" Rowan asked.

Then Edwin watched him for a while and looked down. Following his eyes, Rowan looked down to see that his men were all dead. He was standing at a cliff of a mountain, seeing that his men were laying on the ground lifeless, his heart ached and a shudder ran through his body. This is not the first time this happened. Rowan couldn't understand why the fuck his men are dying without a reason.

"What happened to them?" Rowan asked.

His eyes were red and tears filled in them. Seeing the bodies, he felt that he couldn't bear to endure the pain in his heart. These men came with him without a hesitation, they gave themselves for the prince of the Treral Kingdom. Rowan never wanted them to die like this, he wanted to take the kingdom back and give it to these people and let them live peacefully.

Everything was hard, these seven months so many things happened but now he was at the end, he killed so many powerful vampires that give Savater the strength. And now Savater was weak and Rowan could kill him easily. For all those months, Rowan was successful no matter what happened. With his strength no one could reach him but what the hell happened while he was away?

"They died"

Edwin's reply was such a strange one. Rowan could fucking see that they were all dead but how the hell they died? That's what he wanted to know. Thinking about it, Rowan's eyes turned sharp and he looked at Edwin again. Watching him for a while, Rowan took a few steps away from Edwin before speaking.

"Why are you alive and they're all dead?" His voice was dangerous as he asked that. His heart was covered with pain and betrayal. He didn't know what was going on but for some unknown reason. His heart shattered and he felt the burning pain as he looked at Edwin's glowing eyes which were filled with evil.

"I managed to survive my lord"

Edwin's reply was straight as he looked into Rowan's eyes and replied. Rowan clenched his jaws and gritted his teeth. Then staring at Edwin for a while, he moved his eyes and looked away. What the fuck happened and what the fuck is this? He asked himself as he felt his mind was going insane.

"What happened to them? I'm asking that!" he snarled. Then Edwin stepped closer to Rowan and his lips slowly curled upwards to a cruel smirk making Rowan's body shudder. He stared at Edwin's face and he felt the pain. Betrayal! That's what was going through his mind as he stared at Edwin with reddened eyes. How come? How come Edwin betrayed him after everything?

"Well… why don't I explain to you little prince?"

Rowan's heart clenched, he clenched his jaws and looked at the direct where the voice came from. He knew this voice, he hated this voice and he feared this voice. This voice was nothing but a nightmare to him. Turning, Rowan looked at the man who was wearing all black while looking at him with a smile. Rowan's fists curled upwards to balls seeing him.

His mind filled with his mother's face and the way she protected him that day. And then he remembered that this bastard had kept his mother in his castle for so long. Raping and hurting her. Anger filled inside of him, his wolf howled angrily and Rowan looked at Savater's face before shifting his eyes to Edwin who was kneeling as if he was greeting Savater.

So this is it! This man betrayed him!
