Chapter 139 The Truth Of Soren’s Past 

**Soren’s PO

Dont you think its time we went back home?Thomas asked me as the two of us stood in my tent late one evening. The war is practically over now, Soren. Your uncle needs you back home to help him regroup.” 

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, not feeling the need to explain myself to my subordinate. Not now,” I told him. It was short and to the point, and thats all he needed

But you have to understand, Soren, no one expected Ethan to act that way! After he was banished... he actually attacked your uncle! He went right into that camp and bit his f*cking arm off! The man has clearly lost his mind.” 

I shook my head. I dont want to hear anything else about my d*mn brother, all right?I told him. He doesnt matter anymore.” 

Wait, what?Thomas asked me. I thought... if Ethan doesn‘t matter anymore, then why the h*ll are we looking for Rosalie? Youre not trying to get her back to hurt him?” 

I dropped my gaze to the floor. Thomas didnt need to know my motivation. It’s more complicated than that,” I muttered

 

More complicated? Soren... the queen is pregnant with the heir, so Ethans baby is nothing now. If youre not trying to get back at him, then what is it?” 

I shook my head. Leave all of that to me,” I told him

Oh, I see,he said, his lips pursed together as he gave me a disapproving look

Glowering at him, I said, Thomas, Ill remind you that youre not in charge here.” 

Yes, sir,” he said, his eyes narrowed. Its just... with Kals forces being pushed back after he was injured, I think its best if we leave the north and go back home. Theyre in a full retreat now! The East has had all the time in the world to move in and drive them back since hes been injured. Having the queen carrying a child didnt get rid of Ethan, instead, it backfired on us, and indirectly caused our kings suffering.” 

Finally, I agreed with something he said. I warned my uncle to never underestimate Ethan. I personally told him I thought it was better if he didnt get so close to Mirage in person. But the b*stard didnt listen. He wanted to feel the glory of winning the war himself.” 

I shook my head in disgust. He said he wanted to see his enemies fall with his own eyes. Now, Uncle Kal is eating the consequences of his own arrogance.I rested my hand on the table, thinking about how foolish the king had been to go

And Romero?Thomas said with a chuckle. It serves his *ss right to be locked up by King James for what he did, trying to play both sides. I never did trust that guy.” 

No, I knew better than to trust him, too,” I told him. Hes no longer useful to James, so he had no trouble locking him up for his betrayal.An image of Romero suffering in a dungeon cell filled my mind, making me want to laugh

So... youre not at all interested in going back to the islands?Thomas asked me again, a look of disbelief on his face. You dont care that Damians claiming to be the new Alpha of the islands? Dont you want to go back and force his *ss out of your land?” 

I sneered, Romero let me use the island as part of the deal he had with my uncle. It wasnt mine to begin with. Anyway, at the moment, I have more important things to worry about than that asshole. Ill take care of him later.”
