Ronnie’s POV

“You really don’t look okay to me.” Kim said, reaching out to touch my forehead.

I moved back instinctively.

“Chill… I was just trying to check your temperature. And just like I had thought, you’re burning up.” He said calmly.

I raised a brow in surprise, I had never seen him this caring before.

“I’m sorry if I’m overstepping my boundaries. I was just worried.” He admitted, tucking his hands back into his pocket like none of this just happened.

“I think you should go in now, I’ll b

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   151: You're back?

    Ronnie's POV"Please tell me it's a lie!"The elderly woman just remained on her knees, her head bowed, not saying a single word.I slapped myself hard right across my own cheek, just to make sure I wasn't in some ridiculous dream.The pain was real.The woman on her knees was real.The two colors still glowing faintly on that iron seal behind her were very, very real."You can't be saying the truth," I said, my voice growing louder as the words forced their way out before I could form them into something meaningful. "That can't be the truth. I can't be... no, please, this doesn't make any sense..."I stopped myself before the tears came, pressing my lips together and forcing myself to breathe slowly.My mind had completely abandoned the book I had come here looking for in the first place.I picked up the book I had been holding at some point without realizing it and set it down on one of the wooden tables nearby. My hands were shaking slightly.I needed air.I turned toward the door,

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   150: Tell me it's a lie

    Ronnie’s POVI rented a car instead of calling a cab, paying in cash, not wanting any record tied to my name. I wanted to be as careful as possible, just as the old woman had warned.The Ancient Library of the Moon Goddess looked exactly the way the pictures online had described it, ancient stone walls rising up from the earth like they had grown there naturally rather than been built.I kept a scarf wrapped around the lower half of my face as I approached, sunglasses on despite the overcast sky, doing everything I could to avoid being recognized."I'm looking for Mrs. Aya Lester," I said to the woman at the front desk.She paused, looking me over carefully."Who are you?" she asked."Why do you want to see her?" she added, before I could even answer the first question."I was sent here by an old friend of hers," I said."An old friend, you say." The woman's eyes narrowed slightly. "Name?"I hesitated.The truth was, the old woman at Silver Moon Pack Library had never actually told me

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   149: What Baby?

    Nolan's POVIt took another day before she was strong enough to sit up properly, to hold a real conversation, to start asking the questions I knew were coming."I want to take you home with me," I said, once we finally had a quiet moment together. "Back to the palace, where you can recover properly."She shook her head slowly. "I want to go with my mom."I felt something tighten in my chest, but I didn't argue."Okay," I said.She looked surprised that I agreed so easily."Take care of the baby," I added.Her brows pulled together in confusion. "What baby?"I held her gaze. "You're pregnant. With my child."Her face went through several expressions at once ... shock, disbelief, something close to panic."I'm giving you two weeks," I continued, before she could fully process it. "Two weeks with your mom. I don't want to kidnap you again, like you'll always accuse me of.""Giving me two weeks doesn't make this any different," she said, finding her voice again. "It does. I want my heir t

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   148: One Long Week

    Ronnie's POV I felt my jaw tighten.Sarah, standing beside me, immediately began to cry, clearly assuming I would refuse, that my pride would win out over everything else."I would beg on his behalf," she said quickly, already lowering herself onto the wet ground, her knees sinking into the mud without hesitation. "Please. I'll do it. Just save her."I looked at her kneeling there, desperate and broken, and then at the priest, and then back toward the ambulance where Ronnie lay motionless.I didn't hesitate.I dropped to my knees on the same wet ground beside Sarah.Vane's mouth actually fell open slightly, clearly not expecting that."I'm sorry," I said, my voice rougher than I intended, the words feeling foreign coming out of my mouth but necessary all the same. "For attacking you. For grabbing her." I glanced at the woman in white. "It was wrong. I let my fear take over, and I'm sorry."The woman in white looked at me for a long moment, then gave a small nod.Vane studied me for a

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   147: Get on your knees

    Nolan’s POVI stared at her for a second too long before anything came out of my mouth.“Are you sure you know what you’re saying?”“Yes, your majesty. She is pregnant,” the woman repeated, her voice steady even though her eyes kept darting between me and Kim like she wasn’t sure who she was supposed to be looking at.Kim cleared his throat beside me. Loudly. Like he needed something to do with his face other than stare at me with that expression.“How far along?” I asked.“We’re estimating somewhere around two weeks, based on the levels we found in her bloodwork. We’ll know more precisely once she’s stable enough for a proper scan.”Two weeks.My mind did the math before I even gave it permission to.The hotel.I didn’t say anything for a moment. I just stood there, the tablet with Alte Tech’s collapsing numbers still sitting forgotten on my desk, my brain refusing to process more than one impossible thing at a time.“You said her body is rejecting treatment,” I said finally. “What d

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   146: The Baby

    Nolan's POV"Let me in or I'll break the door down!"The words tore through whatever thin layer of sleep I had managed to get, dragging me upright before I had even fully registered being awake. My eyes snapped open, my body already moving before my mind caught up.I was exhausted as hell, like I barely had any sleep and it was morning already?I swung my legs off the bed and made my way toward the door, my mind still foggy, trying to figure out what kind of commotion was loud enough to wake an entire wing of the palace at this hour.The moment I pulled the door open, a fist connected with my face.I stumbled back half a step, more from surprise than actual impact, my jaw stinging as I blinked the haze away and registered exactly who was standing in front of me.Reuben."What the heck did you do to her?" he demanded, already pulling his arm back for a second swing.I didn't give him the chance.I caught his wrist mid-motion and twisted, using the momentum to slam him backward against

    Ronnie's POVImmediately the doors of the room fell open, my chest tightened and my throat instantly went dry.He stepped in graciously, his hands moving across his hair for a bit before his eyes dropped to me.I didn't fail to notice how his eyes went over me from my head, down to my toes. The loo

    Nolan's POV "Whatever it is?" I whispered softly in her ear as I watched her shiver under my touch. I could read her heart, the sincerity that floated in it, but I doubt she was ready for what I was about to ask. Her throat bobbed then she finally nodded. "Yes..." She tried to sound firm, but sh

    Ronnie’s POV"Damn... my neck hurts!" I whispered to myself, eyes still fixed on the screen in front of me.I sat at the desk at the workstation the King had set up for me. I might as well call it my very own office.Files were open on the screen in front of me, numbers, names, and reports staring

    Olivia’s POVI dropped from the white SUV that had come to pick me up from my dorm room.
