Chapter 39~Zayne~“Arghhh” I groaned as I woke up to sores on my body causing every movement to be a challenge. I glanced at the window, the bright sun was already out as it casted its rays into the room providing warmth. I struggled to recall much of last night, my mind was still a bit dazed. I could remember my dance with Emily and her precious gift of a picture of myself and Maya. I also remembered driving down to her graveyard and burying it inside. “Ahhh!”A sharp pain appeared on my forehead. I placed my hand firmly on it trying to relieve the pain a bit. “I need fresh air” I walked up to my window taking a look down at the whole castle yard. The fresh wind of the morning crashed against my face, calming me down a bit. KNOCK KNOCK A loud knock appeared on my door. I could easily tell it wasn't Emily. Her knuckles weren't that harsh and loud. “Yes?”My voice loudly reached out the door. “Good morning my lord, it's Cedric!” Cedric gently opened the door and walked in
Chapter 40~Steph~“You’re going to hang Rowan? You didn’t even tell me?”Zayne just stepped out of Luther’s room.I was shocked when he came here to plead for Rowan’s life. I never knew Luther had ordered him to be hung.“I felt no need to after all don’t you want him dead?”No actually I don’t , I don’t like to see anyone die, it’s a sick sight for me. But I can’t afford to look weak in front of Zayne,what will he think of me?“Yes I do”I reluctantly answered, my heart was deeply disturbed.Rowan might have tried to kill me but he’s still a good person and I was there that night.Luther triggered his actions and stirred his game.“Good, I’ll be downstairs you can join me when your ready”Luther said before stepping out of his room.I got dressed into a blue gown, I had to get used to dressing in clothes different from my maid outfits.Luther has forbidden me from wearing those and forced Crystal to relieve me of my job.There was quite a loud chattering downstairs at the castle cou
Chapter 41~Emily~“What do you mean by that?” I raised my voice in anger at Luther. “You heard me well Emily. Your friend her can no longer train your warriors until further notice”Luther spoke in a cringe voice. Can Luther get any more annoying? He's such a bitch, I can't believe Steph fell for this. “Luther you don't have a right to do that. I'm telling Zayne”I turned to walk away when a firm hand grabbed my jacket by its tip.“Don't go!”Rowan held me back. “Zayne can't do anything about this. Luther runs the training grounds”Rowan said, very disheartened.Rowan loves nothing more than training people like us, people who have the hunger to learn and be better. But now because of Luther, he can't do that again. “I'll go now Emily, have a good time at the fields”Rowan left very down, I watched in pity as he dragged his feet back to the castle premises until he faded into the sun. My boiling excitement and anticipation to train so dwindled off. I can't just feel the same
Chapter 42~Zayne~My doubt was confirmed, Emily was still too weak, her current strength level is no we're near that of well trained humans.Although she has very quick reflexes it's still not enough to battle against any one. She still needs to undergo more training to atleast get to a level where I can worry less for her. The day passed by quickly and I didn't let up on her training, I trained her rigorously in every move until she was almost unable to stand up. Looking at how tired she was, I shook my head. Pity for her creeped into me. She was too important to me, but I just hoped my training would make her stronger. “Training is over!!”My voice thundered through the empty grassland. Rowan approached Emily and began attending to her. She fell flat on the Gras, drenched in sweat as he panted heavily. “Sorry I might be a bit tough on you, but it's because I want to train you until you can protect yourself”After the training was over I left the training ground directly.I
Chapter 43~Zayne~“My fellow Lycans, can we not consider this first?”I walked up to the stage, the sound from the crowd was thunderous, capable of blowing off the roof. “We must strike back!!”They yelled out simultaneously, my voice was clouded out by their roar. They turned deaf ears to anything I said. At this point, I knew there was almost nothing I could do to change their minds. They are so enraged by the attack on Flora and with good reason. The vampires never needed to attack an innocent girl. Luther had successfully managed to channel their anger into going out to attack the vampires and get revenge. I watched helplessly as the crowd in the hall chanted, their mood boisterous. They were determined to strike back at the vampires. “You lost out this time brother” a devilish voice whispered to my ear. I turned to see Luther, as he wore a sickening grin on his face. Is that what he thinks this is? A game between me and him for who gets what he wants. “Do you know th
Chapter 44~Zayne~Luther split our troop into two. Myself and Rowan and a few other warriors, we're going round the back to the castle and Luther and the others are going through the front. We sneaked through the large bushes around to the back. We crouched under some bushes, as we scanned through the area. My eyes went searching around the area. I spotted three guards, sitting down at the entrance to the castle, while the other stood by the corner, his eyes were a bit heavy as he battled with the great urge to close his eyes and sleep off.“Okay guys we have to be smart on when we strike”I whispered to the Lycans under my control. We watched from the bushes, patiently planning and observing. “Cedric And Rowan take them out”Enough waiting, it's time for some real action. I didn't want to take any chances with these guards so I have to employ the big guns for this “Okay Zayne” they said simultaneously. Rising from the bushes, they walked closer to the guard, still unno
Chapter 45~Emily~‘Me and Rowan will be off to the vampire kingdom’Zayne’s words echoed in my mind. When things are going so well, why do they have to take such silly risks?But as much as I try to hide away from the truth, I knew This day would come, after all the war is inevitable. I could only pray they return back and that the vampires eat Luther alive as well. I watched from my window, the warriors got on their horses. Two on each, some even in threes, except for Luther, who got on a horse with only him in it. I couldn't help but think Luther was already assuming a leader ahead of Zayne.Is Luther after Zayne’s throne? I've always had feelings he's after me and Zayne, could it be for that? I came back to my senses as the warriors set off on their horses. I watched as they rode into the distance, until they disappeared from my sight. I returned to my room, grabbing my light bag, and I was ready to head out to the training grounds. I walked up to the gate set to leave th
Chapter 46~Luther ~KNOCK KNOCK “Come in!” I yelled out in a stern voice. “You called?” Thorn opened the door and walked in. A slight grin on his face and with good reason. We've accomplished what we set out to do. Take out Zayne. “Yes, rally the crowd to the courtyard. I have a big announcement for them!”My joy was too difficult to disguise. “Yes I will!”Thorn stepped out slamming the door hard behind me. I was alone to my thoughts. Thoughts of how I was going to shape the kingdom in my way. How I was going to take the Lycan kingdom to the next level. To be the most feared of them all. “Luther!!”A loud squeal reached my ears. I turned around to see Steph. Her joy and excitement was over the top. He ran to me giving a tight hug. “Luther, I thought I would lose you!” Her words almost made me puke out of disgust. I despised such heartfelt emotions. “I'm here Steph,” I said in a calm voice. “I've come with great news too!”I gently pulled her off my body. “Really? What'
