Chapter 129

Rania frowned. She pursed her lips, and tried to move her legs, but she couldn’t feel them. It had been two hours she was in the same position.

However, it was not the position that bothered her, but a certain heavy king, who rested his head on her lap that made her unable to move.

Maximus had fallen asleep, he breathed evenly.

How could someone sleep in such uncomfortable position for so long? He would have a back pain when he woke up, but Rania doubted that. The shifter was built differently.

Yet, here she was, suffering because of him again.

Rania nudged his shoulder to wake him up, but he didn’t wake up. She then proceeded to pluck his hair. Still, Maximus seemed barely feel anything.

His arms wrapped around her lower body like chains.

Rania grabbed a fistful of his hair and tugged on it. But, as ridiculous as it sounded, she didn’t have a heart to wake him up that way.

She didn’t know what to feel about him. This man gave her butterfly in her stomach, but also ripped her heart.

She had gone a lot of horrendous things with him, more than when she was with Caden, but she couldn’t help, but softened her heart when she saw his sleeping face.

His hair covered his eyes, and his cheeks jutted out. He lost so much weight. The last month must be hard on him. Losing his beta was not trivial things, but for him to punish Declan severely make Rania satisfied.

Was she turned bad now? She couldn’t help, but thought of all the possibilities that might happen if Maximus didn’t discover what Declan had done to her.

Or he decided to give her up.

Rania’s mind clouded, she didn’t remember much about the time when she stabbed him, but she was sure the wound was deep enough to kill him. That was what Karin said in passing.

Maximus was wounded, but he still exerted his strength to look for her.

Probably because of that reason, her heart softened a bit, though she had not ready to accept him yet.

And then, he had been nothing, but respectful all this time. He would come time to time, only to sit next to her without trying to do anything.

But, Rania was not stupid, she heard a few rumors about the storm that Maximus brought in every morning court. He killed an elder when that person went against him.

However, that was only one among a hundred things that Rania heard from Karin. The healer actually loved to talk about anything, and because Rania didn’t speak, it would be her, who had done the monologue.

Therefore, when Maximus said he had an urge to kill someone, Rania felt conflicted. She didn’t want him near, yet at the same time, he needed her presence to calm his anger.

Once again, Rania nudged his shoulder, this time it was harder, because she was getting upset with him.
