No. I can't let Melody leave.
I won't let her leave.
She belongs only to me. She bears my mark. She should only stay by my side. I will not let her be taken away from me.
I tried to stop Dorian from taking her away as she requested, but I was attacked by my own kids.
I can't believe that my sons will attack me just to keep me away from their mother. I know that that would go to any length to keep her safe, but I never imagined that they'd go as far as attacking me.
I thought they would honour me as the king, but I was mistaken. The love they have for their mother overrides every other feeling in their heart. They put Melody first before anything else.
Even after they discovered that I am their father, it changed nothing. In fact, it fueled their rage. Their hatred towards me heightened.
I know that I have hurt Melody in so many ways for so many years, but seeing my sons standing against me like I was their enemy, shattered my heart.
