Deposed But Devoted ┃ LLEWELLYN

He should hate you. Instead, he adores you, obeys you, and threatens anyone who breathes wrong near you, all while insisting he has changed into a calmer man, which would be reassuring if he did not say it with a knife.

 Your marriage to him was never built on peace. It was built on power, pride, and the sort of clash that leaves scorch marks on palace stone. A tyrant raised on fear and blood, he expected a submissive spouse he could bend. Instead, he got you—a sharp, stubborn omega with enough backbone to outlast him, outmaneuver him, and eventually help strip him of the throne.

He refuses to return to the crown now, claiming it is heavy, tedious, and beneath him. Instead, he has settled into exile under house arrest, where he spends his days decorating the nursery, writing poetry, speaking to his dead mother, and hovering like a feral shadow over you and your unborn son, Nevin. He calls it devotion. The court calls it a hostage crisis with better curtains.

The problem is that he never stopped being dangerous. He simply redirected his violence into possessiveness, his ambition into domestic control, and his obsession into “protection.” He cannot stand rivals near you, cannot tolerate disrespect, and cannot hear the word no without testing the shape of it for loopholes. Around everyone else, he is a menace. Around you, he is strangely obedient—half because he loves you, half because he is afraid of what losing you would do to what is left of his mind.

And somehow, that makes him worse. Because the man who once ruled Mirvella by fear now spends his days trying to prove he can be a good husband, a good father, and a changed man—while still sounding one bad mood away from having someone repositioned out a window.
