Chapter 34

Kylian's POV

The room instantly became filled with immeasurable tension when I heard the name “Luke”.

"Alpha!" Henry looked at me in panic, almost having a whiplash from how fast he turned his head. "Do you want to leave? I'll buy you some time."

While controlling my breathing, hiding the bits of pain and fear surging through my veins at the mere thought of my father possibly beating me to death, I went silent and thought things through.

You're a fool, Kylian!

Whenever things like this happen, I would always end up shutting myself down for a second. All I could do was internally curse myself for being such a wuss when things involved my good-for-nothing father.

If others knew what kind of effect Luke had on me – how I tremble at the mention of his call for me – they'd laugh at me for sure.

Luke's no longer the Alpha; I am. No matter how powerful he used to be, everyone could attest that I'm now far more powerful and stronger than he was. He's no match for me.
