Bam!
Not able to control his emotions, Cyrus punched the mage to the ground.
“Useless! All of you! I didn’t spend so much money hiring you to hear you blabber excuses! If you can’t cure Marina, then you
will be laid to rest with her!”
The mages wanted to speak up in resistance, but cowered at the sight of Cyrus‘ sharp claws.
Seeing that bloodshed was about to break out, Cyrus‘ Beta stood in front of him and spoke his mind.
“Alpha King! What’s the use of doing all this after all this time? You’re the one who tortured Marina for all these years, and the source of all her pain! What’s the point of making yourself look like a heartbroken fool now, when she’s already gone?!”
Finally, someone put to words what had been bothering me during this entire exchange.
Cyrus treated me like the dirt under his feet while I was still alive, yet acted repentant after I was dead.
What was the point?
I didn’t want this love that came too late.
