Chapter 144
“Are you happy now?”
Rogan spun around and looked at Damon who was slowly approaching him.
“Are you happy?” Damon repeated.
Rogan put a hand to his jaw, flexing it before he tilted his head at Damon. “What are you doing here? Came to try what Viktor couldn’t do?”
With a scoff, Damon crouched where Rena was holding Ursula and put a hand to Ursula’s forehead, relieved when she became conscious.
He looked at Rena. “Are you alright?” he asked her quietly.
Rena nodded. “Y–yes… but Kamilla…”
“Viktor’s taking care of her. Don’t worry. Give me a moment and I’ll take you two home.” With a nod, Damon rose once more to face Rogan.
He sighed. “You’ve been a pain in the ass, Rogan.”
Rogan’s mouth curved with distaste. “Get out of my face, Damon. You, your king and your whole entire kingdom have been a pain in my ass!”
“Your grudge is based on bullshit, Rogan!” Damon told him through gritted teeth.
Rogan laughed humorlessly. “What the fuck do you know?”
Damon raised a brow. “I spoke to Vernon. I know everything. And let me tell you this: whatever you think Viktor took from you, I assure you he never had. Sure, Darrius was an asshole, more evil than anyone really knew, but you weren’t the only one who’d felt that! You think he raised Viktor on a bed of roses?! Viktor felt hated by the late King!”
“I don’t care how he raised Viktor,” growled Rogan. “I had to watch that man murder my mother just because she wouldn’t let him have me. And after all that, he brought me here just so I could watch him get married, have another kid and play happy families! That throne should have been mine! The identification of being Darrius’s son that Viktor has should have also been mine!”
Damon nodded. “I get that! I get why you’d feel that way, but I need you to understand that Viktor never even wanted to be his son. While you wanted Darrius to acknowledge you, Viktor always wished he’d never been his father. For you to make Viktor pay for something the father you both hated did, is illogical!”
One corner of Rogan’s mouth curled. “When the fuck have I ever been logical?”
Taking his glaring eyes away from Damon, Rogan walked away from it all, passing Damon, his aunt and Rena as he waked away.
He clenched his jaw in irritation. He was done with every single one of these people.
Done.
The touch was gentle on Kamilla’s cheek, drawing her nearly to the surface, but still unconsciousness held her under.
“Kamilla,” he whispered. Viktor. Kamilla wanted to call out to him, but found herself unable to move.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered again. His gentle fingers stroked her hair back. “I’ll make it better, my Queen. I promise. I’ll protect you from all of this…”
Kamilla heard the sadness in his tone and felt her heart wrench. It reminded her of Charming.
A lone tear silently slipped out from under her closed lid and stroked down the side of her face.
Viktor wiped it gently away.

“I’ll protect you from me,” he whispered. “So I can never hurt you again.”
His warmth surrounded her as he leaned in and Kamilla felt his lips press gently against her forehead. Drawing away, he kept his face close and let his fingers touch her cheek.
“I love you.”
Her body felt like a truck had rammed into it. Kamilla flinched as she regained consciousness, careful not to make her body hurt more.
She turned her head to the side, groaning with the effort as she squinted her eyes open.
Someone gasped. “Kamilla!” It was Demetrius. Kamilla felt him draw closer. “Are you okay?!”
Kamilla heard the sound of a door opening. “Is she awake?” It was Grace.
