“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
"Valentine, all this talk about right and wrong, guilt and atonement... What am I supposed to do?" Althea looked at him with a mixture of confusion and desperation in her eyes.
Valentine leaned back, his dark eyes searching her face. "You, Althea, are in a unique position. You have the power to make choices that others can't. I have given you a loophole of you not being greedy so it's left for you to make use of it. But what's most important is understanding what you truly want."
Althea sighed, "All I want is to be free, to make my own choices and live without feeling like a puppet on strings."
Valentine nodded, "I understand your desire for freedom. It's something we all yearn for. But sometimes, freedom comes at a price. You can choose to marry the Lycan king and lose your memories, or you can choose to resist and forge your path, but the consequences might be severe."
