Chapter: 53
“NO!!!!” He rebelled and refused to be forcibly pulled out of his room. The other members just gulped nervously at what had happened due to the failure and stu***dity of one of their team.
When the rogue leader looked in their direct**n, he immediately straightened his body as a sign of alertness and readiness for whatever he ordered.
All those who follow the rogue leader know the brutality and mercilessness of the leader, but know that if they refuse to follow him, they will die on the spot.
No one dared to speak up as the leader began to walk around staring at each of the members in the meeting room as if he was trying to remember their faces.
“Back off…” He said quietly with an annoyed tone “Right now retreating is the right thing we will do before starting the next plan” He ordered then left the meeting room to go to his room where he knew his mate who was a witch was doing another rite.
He opened the door of his room to see his mate.
“Your members are all fools” Greeted the witch who was his mate. “Watch it, Morena…” I’m annoyed because she’s right, she’s always right and I hate it “What about our second plan?” I asked quickly, wanting to change the subject.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, knowing that this was my way of changing the subject “I pretended to be the old ghost of the king’s enemy when I met the two of them, even that was difficult, because he had a new protection, not strong, but troublesome”
What?
He has protection?!
“There’s a witch protecting them?” I was surprised after hearing her explanation.
She nodded “It seems so”
Hitting the table so hard that it split in two in annoyance, I grunted at the thought of all the things I had planned not going smoothly, why?!
“Why are you upset?” Morena, who is my mate, hugged me from behind intimately “I didn’t say I couldn’t, did I?”
Her words made me smile and I turned around to hug her.
That’s right… This woman would give anything for me, even if she has crossed the forbidden and become a dark witch for me.
Just wait, Rolf Titus…

Back to Gwen’s POV
“I’m sorry, but my answer is no” Titus’ firm answer to my parents who contacted me via video call, when they heard what happened in the palace and how I was almost kidnapped, and then the current number of hangings given around the king’s territory, they thought that taking me away from here to my father’s territory was something the king should think about for my sake, but as you heard, Titus firmly rejected my parents’ offer.
Titus’ firm answer made me happy, because honestly even though the situation here is still tense, but parting with him?
Somehow I don’t want to get away from him…
Staring at my hand that was tightly grasped by him, I was sure that he had the same feeling.
Although the explanation about the rejection 5 years ago has not been shared, from his gestures I can feel that he needs me and I hope that he even loves me.
“I know it’s in her best interest and I thank you, but…” He paused and I saw him swallow nervously.
