Chapter 34

“She is not worth it. You can get another woman that you like. Give her to me.” Killian’s eyes trained on the baby in Alex’s arms. How dare this man held his baby when he had not yet tough her?
His baby was crying and there was nothing Killian wanted, but to hold her tight against his chest. He wanted to feel her in his arms. He was the father for f**k sake!
“She is not worth it. Give the baby and the woman to me.” Killian didn’t even look at Althea, he knew that his words would hurt her, but at time like this, he would do everything in his power to get his little family back. He would mend her wound later. He would make it up to her later. “You are the king, you don’t need her. You can get more honorable woman that you wanted. She is tainted. She had been marked and now she has a baby with another man.”
There was a collected gasp of understanding from people, who were listening to this conversation, they finally got the gist of the situation and what was going on.
This would be the talk for the town for months, especially when this affair related to the king. Killian knew that. King Alex bet his pristine image and his name in front of so many people, if he decided to take Althea’s side and help.
The right thing to do was to let her go.
On the other hand, Althea felt like she wanted to punch Killian. He humiliated her. He put her down and tortured her in the
past
and now he did it again in front of so many people, he repeated the same word over and over again.
She was not worth it. She was not worth it.
Althea hated the word, but now she hated herself even more because she started to believe that what he was saying was true, she was not worth it.. she was not worth. The word kept repeating in her mind.
How could he be so cruel to her? She was the mother of his child even when he hated her so bad, more so, Willow was still alive, why would he treat her cruelly like this?
“King Alex, give my mate and my son back.” Killian took a step closer toward the king, he thought the king’s lack of responje was because he was considering what he was saying.
However, Killian truly underestimated him.
“Back off.” Alex pulled Althea closer to him. “She is mine.”
Alex didn’t raise his voice, but he didn’t need to because the tavern was rather quiet, aside from the commotion from the festivity outside, which seemed, was only a noise in the background because of the heated situation here.
“Did you reject him before?” Alex asked Althea.
Althea startled and focused back to the reality of the situation. “Yes, I have rejected him before,” she admitted.
“Good. She is mine now and the baby too.”
The declaration rang true and this made many people’s jaws dropped when they heard that. The king was not shy to admit that. He couldn’t careless about what other people think about this.
Willow was dumbstruck when she heard that. She couldn’t believe a king would take Althea’s side. He knew about the relationship between Killian and Althea, he also knew about the baby, but he still accepted her?! What kind of lie that Althea had spitted?!
How could be be so calm and collected when he declared something crucial like that?! How could be so sure about what he was saying?! This didn’t make any sense at all.

But, not only those people, even Althea was surprised that Alex would take her side. She could understand if he didn’t want to have anything to do with her, since she was the one, who took him into this mess.
More so… as much as Althea hated it, what Killian said was true. She was not worth it. She was not a woman that worth the king’s affection.
Why Alex did this to himself? He put himself in harm way and even though Althea didn’t know much about the court, but living in the palace for a few weeks now let her learned a thing or two about how vicious the king’s opponent to get down and they would use this opportunity to make trouble for Alex.
He must have known that, but still, he stood by her side.
him
“Is that clear for you?” Alex asked, he tilted his head and mindlinked his royal warriors to clear the way for him and Althea.
He pulled Althea’s hand, which he had never let go ever since he entered the tavern and watched her predicament, he then walked away from the tavern with the baby was still in his other hand,
“Stop right there! Stop!” Killian roared, he growled dangerously at the royal warriors, but the royal g**a approached him to make sure he stopped with his action
“We can arrest you for trying to harm the king if you kept trying to chase after them.”
And that was enough to make Killian seethed, but stop his attempt to go after Alex and Althea.
immediately
He watched that b**d of the king entered the carriage and took his mate and daughter away from him. He watched them disappeared from his sight and couldn’t do anything.
“B**d! F**!” Killian cursed loudly, he kicked a table and sent it flew across the room, it crashed against the wall.
He felt like he wanted to destroy everything that he could touch and he did just that for a couple of minutes, until the royal warriors stopped him.
“No, don’t take him away… don’t take him away.” Willow was crying so bad at this point. She turned to her father, who didn’t do anything and was being very quiet all this time. “Father do something! Don’t just standing there like a statue!”
