BXBX NOVEL Chapter 274
In her life, there never was a doll, a dress, a pair of shoes, or a bag that was too expensive or too difficult to get.
Whatever she wanted, she got when she wanted it.
The life of a werewolf princess was indeed vastly different from that of a normal pack member.
While Kieran lay on the hard bed with Lillian in his arms, all he could think about was how uncomfortable the woman must be.
“You should go,” he softly whispered. “This is not a place for someone like you. Especially not in your condition.”
Lillian shook her head.
“There is no other place in this whole wide world I want to be in.”
She raised a hand and caressed Kieran’s jawline.
.....
“I want to stay with you.”
“This cell is too cold,” Kieran reasoned. “They don’t even bother to give us any blankets...”
The prison cell opened on cue and a guard came in with two heavy, fluffy blankets and two large pillows.
“...”
“...”
“Courtesy of Alpha Ronan Silverback,” he quipped before putting the items on the bed and leaving.
“... He sure is considerate,” Kieran said with slight amazement.
Lillian scoffed.
“It is a reminder,” she said.
“... Reminder?”
The woman patted her lover on the cheek.
“It has been a long day,” she said. “Why don’t we just rest for now?”
Kieran pulled Lillian into his arms and kissed her.
“Sure,” he said while rubbing Lillian’s belly affectionately.
Kieran fell asleep soon while Lillian remained awake for almost an hour. In the darkness, she rehearsed what she wanted to say again and again in her mind, hoping that Kieran would cooperate.
When morning came, Kieran woke up to Lillian who sat on the bed while gazing at him with sad, empty eyes.
“What’s wrong?” the man asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. “Lil?”
Lillian swallowed hard.
“Kieran, I need to talk to you about something...”
“What is it?”
Lillian pressed her lips together while holding onto her belly. Looking as pitiful as a discarded cat in a downpour, she started to describe her terrible situation, “When Ronan Silverback found out that this baby wasn’t his, he was livid. He threw me out of the pack. I had nowhere else to go, so I asked to come here. He plans to drag me to trial for deception...”
The woman purposefully left her sentence hanging in the air when she broke into a series of heartbreaking sobs.
Blood rushed to Kieran’s face when he heard what Lillian had to say.
A while later, the prison inhabitants were woken up by a loud banging sound from Kieran’s cell. The latter was hollering and slamming his hand against the metallic cell door repeatedly.
“MR. DANE SILVERBACK!!!” He shouted. “I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!”
He was so loud that he woke the guard in charge from a beautiful dream. Unhappy about the sudden ruckus in the morning, the burly guard rushed into Kieran’s cell to give him some beating.
“What the hell are you doing, causing unrest like that so early in the morning??”
“I DEMAND TO BE RELEASED!!!”
“Do you think that this prison is a cheap hotel that you can check out from at will???” The guard shouted furiously.
What came next was a punch across Kieran’s cheek, followed by Lillian’s frightened scream.
“STOP! I BEG YOU, PLEASE STOP!!!”
Kieran fell to the ground, but he then kicked hard at the guard’s shin. The latter howled in pain and instinctively pulled his leg up to rub his shin.
Kieran used the chance to rise to his feet and punch the guard in the gut, sending him crashing against the stony floor.
“YOU!!!!” The guard roared angrily like a wounded animal.
The two men exchanged a few more punches before a few more guards came in to separate them.
Kieran was then dragged out of his cell.
“Out, out, lover boy! You are going to meet with Mr. Dane Silverback just as you wanted.”
A guard gave Lillian a sharp look.
“You too, Miss.”
Lillian stumbled on shaky feet and followed the guards out of the cell.
The two prisoners were led along the corridors until they reached an interrogation room. Inside, Dane Silverback sat before a long desk. His hands were steepled in front of him, resting below his chin.
He was not alone.
His son, the Alpha of the Infinite Eclipse Pack, Ronan Silverback, was also there. He sat opposite his father while scrolling through his phone.
When Kieran saw Dane, he opened his mouth to complain about Ronan’s cruel action toward Lillian. When he saw Ronan, the complaints disappeared and his rage bled through instead.
“YOU ASSHOLE!!!!” Kieran shouted at the top of his lungs, pouncing at the dark-haired man.
In a split second, Ronan rose to his feet. He stepped to the side just in time to dodge Kieran’s attack.
In return, he caught the latter’s arm and slammed the man to the ground.
Before Kieran had the chance to get up, Ronan pinned him to the ground and immobilized him.
Casually, he spoke to Kieran as if they were old friends who were about to have breakfast together.
“Nice to meet you, Alpha Kieran. Or should I say Beta Kieran? You have yet to have a crowning ceremony.”
Kieran had other pressing matters to think about rather than having a crowning ceremony. Struggling against Ronan’s grip, he turned his head to the side to catch a glimpse of his opponent.
“How could you!” He shouted. “Lillian is pregnant! How could you have the heart to drag her to a trial???”
Ronan raised an eyebrow.
“Oh? How is that wrong?”
“How is that not wrong??? You are a heartless piece of shit!!!”
“Let me see, you were the one who put the baby in her belly, but she showed up at my departed mother’s memorial service and announced that it was my baby. She caused me and my mate unnecessary stress for months. Now tell me again how am I a heartless piece of shit?”
