Chapter 26 - Ugly judgement.

King Luka Black

I turn to Marcys, an angry scowl on my face, when I hear the bedroom door close with a thud. My eyes blaze in rage, and it only gets worse when I see his relaxed stance and uncaring demeanor. He just stares back at me boringly, as if he couldn't be the slightest bit bothered by my anger towards him.

"What the hell was that?" I snap at him, growling deeply from within my chest.

He shrugs carelessly. "You said kill it or capture it - I killed it" He states as if it was obvious.

"We had a fair chance of capturing him, but instead you decided to go rogue and kill him" I grunt in annoyance with an exaggerated eyeroll. "Next time, maybe think before acting. It would save a lot of regret"

He rolls his eyes dramatically, his own annoyance peaking. "First off, I don't possess an ounce of regret" He retorts. "Second off, I did what was necessary, I did what you couldn't" A glare on his face, aimed at me.

"You see a monster, you slay it" He repeats the words my father drilled into my brain since I was a pup.

"Well, then you should slay yourself, you're an even bigger monster than he was" I blurt out without thinking, as my anger gets the better off me.

Fuck.

"I-I" I stumble over the words, not actually knowing what to say right now. No apology will erase what just came out of my stupid mouth.

"You know what, fuck you Luka!" He growls flipping me his middle finger, before storming towards the door. As he reaches for the door handle, he turns to face me.

"Don't put all the blame on me, you were the one who decided to save me from the death trail, I never asked for that. You should have just let them kill me, then you wouldn't have to deal with this monster" He snarls, shaking his head in disappointment, before adding. "I thought you were different, but I guess I was just blinded by our bond all along" He states with a sigh.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and tilt my head assessing him. "Different from who?"

"Your father!"

A loud growl rumble in my chest at the accusation. "Don't you dare compare me to that man. I am nothing like him!"

"Yes, you are!" He exclaims loudly, throwing his hands in the air in pure anger, before pointing a finger at me accusingly. "You see a monster, you slay it, isn't that how it is with you obnoxious North Kings."

Before I can utter a word, he is already fleeing from the room, leaving me alone with my guilt and shame.

"What have I done?" I whisper to myself, falling down on the edge of the bed. I think I just eliminated every chance I had with my mate.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, I chant in my head, hitting myself with my closed fists, and taking a chunk of hair to grip tightly. 

How could I say that to him. It was harsh and uncalled for. I don't think he'll ever forgive me, I'm not even sure I'm deserving of his forgiveness. I royally fucked up, and I have no idea what to do now. I don't even know where he went and finding him in this endlessly large castle seems like an impossible task. We were finally on the right track with our bond, and he was responding well to all the changes and the bond that combined us. I ruined it all, and for what. A monster, I shouldn't even have spared a second thought.

I'm so utterly and completely stupid!

Harold wasn't worth a fight with my mate - He wasn't worth any fucking thing. Why did it even bother me so much that Marcys killed him instead of capturing him. He was going to die in the death trial anyways. Maybe because I wanted him to suffer in the underground before dying for what he had done to my people. For the fear his presence had made travel through my kingdom. Maybe because I wanted to convince myself, Marcys was more than his reputation, a different man than the man I've heard stories about, but seeing the famous monster firsthand in action ruined that picture I had painted of him.
