Chapter 194: How do I look?
(ROSE CASTLE)
Killian kept his gaze on his mate as she exited the gates of the rose castle. He felt remorseful for not being able to go with her. He was an outsider living in the beast city with no tribe to call his own, so he couldn’t attend the banquet inside the city. It was his fault for annihilating his tribe but he never regretted doing that to them. His tribesmen deserved it after what they did to his parents and sister. The taste of betrayal that they fed him still made him feel bitter as well as sad. The hurt that he felt when he saw his family’s lifeless bodies still haunted him but as the saying says ’Time heals everything’
Well, it did not completely heal him but it indeed lessened the pain. Now whenever he thought about that incident, it only brought nostalgia and a little bit of sadness.
Breathing out he came out of his thoughts before turning towards the little snakes and the lion cubs beside him. They were oddly silent as they continued to gaze at the exit. An involuntary smile adorned his lips because it looked like they were already missing their mommy. Well, he was the same too. Killian too missed their mommy.

[BLACK WOLF TRIBE]
Gregory furrowed his brows in displeasure before opening his eyes. For the past weeks, he was persistently trying to detect either Theodore or Iria but to no avail. He already knew about his beloved moving out of the rose castle. His men were scattered everywhere and could get all kinds of information that he needed. This was not possible before but now, he had thousands of stray beasts under his command and they were the ones to inform him about Iria’s departure.
But regretfully they had failed to track them and this made him unable of knowing their current dwelling.
’’Those sly bastards’’ he murmured with a smirk on his face. He was certain that both Theodore and Garrison must have planned this together. He thought of kidnapping Lyra and blackmailing Iria to return to him but this is easier said than done. He was not even confident of getting anywhere near her much less abducting her. That female’s mates are a bunch of powerful beasts that wouldn’t hesitate to cut down anyone that tries to harm her.
