Chapter 47~Zayne~“I said leave now!” My voice came again this laced with more anger. Emily looked at me, her face a picture of despair. Her eyes heated up, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She turned away from me storming out of my room.“Emily, wait!!!”I took a few steps forward to my door. Regret soon creeped in. I called her, my voice loud enough to reach her, but he didn't bother to. “ArghWhat is wrong with me!” I punched my wall enraged at myself for scolding Emily like that.My punch left a big hole through the wall, evidence of my anger and my strength as well. My heart was heavy, she didn't deserve that, but she was this close to knowing my secret. I can't let anyone know about it, especially not Emily. What would she think of me if she found out? She'll probably be afraid of me and avoid me forever. I can't let her find out. I need to see Rowan now!I picked up my jacket and wore my shoes and left my room. I headed in the direction of the warriors quarter
Chapter 48~Zayne~As I laid my head down on my soft and blank pillow, all I could think of was Emily. What could possibly be going through her head right now? She probably thinks I hate her right now? I really wish I could tell her everything but it might just make things worse. All these thoughts going through my head, I could barely sleep. I spent most of the night rolling from one end of my bed to the other. Scccr HhhThe loud and annoying noise from my alarm, forced me up from sleep. I fluttered my dull and bulgy eyes open. The sun casts its warm glow on all the corners of my room.I got up from my bed, and as my daily routine is, walked up to the window of my room. I glanced through the whole castle in my sight. Admiring what I have been blessed to rule over. KNOCK KNOCK “That must be Emily, this is my chance to make things right”“Come in!”As the figure walked in, catching a sight of her, all my hopes dashed out the window in an instant. I couldn't believe my eyes
Chapter 49~Luther~“Luther, where are you going?” Reta asked in her sexy voice, her breath a bit heavy. She laid flat on my bed, her body still naked. “I'm done for today, Steph could here any moment”I said as I wore my trousers over my underwear. “You should dress up too!”“Luther, do you like Steph? I've never seen you like a girl before”Reta was trying to tease me a bit, a spine chilling grin across her face.“I don't like Steph, OK? I've told you before, she is our key to taking down Emily and then Zayne!”I said to Retain a stern voice, the grin wiped off her face. “Okay I'll believe you!” KNOCKKNOCK “Hey Luther!” Steph’s loud squeal reached my ears. “Oh shit! Reta entered the closet now!”Reta stood, firm to the spot and not moving even an inch, her arms crossed and her brows furrowed at me. “Luther!!”Steph’s voice came again, this time laced with even more urgency. “Reta now please!”“Ah… Fine”Reta finally turned and walked up to the closet just by the wall. “
Chapter 1~Emily~“Emily!! Emily!” My mother's voice echoed from outside the house as she ran inside, gasping for breath. Her face was covered with sweat and her breathing tensed as she struggled to catch her breath.“Mother,” I called, my voice laced with worry as I approached her.I just clocked twenty and as per usual tradition, I was tasked with taking care of the newborn in my small village.“Where's Steph?” She asked, her eyes darting back and forth as though she was searching for something.Stephanie or Steph as she was fondly called was my twin sister, even though we were barely identical and always at opposing sides. “Where's your sister? Fetch her immediately,” my mother, Rose, sparked, making me flinch. I had never seen her this way before.“What's going on mother?” I asked, my brows creased, a look of confusion etched on my face.“Get your sister Immediately,” she snapped, her voice filled with rage. “Now!” She roared.I dashed out immediately, my heart pounding in my c
Chapter 2~Emily~“Water, please,” Steph begged, crumbling on the hard floor as she gasped for breath.“Pull her up,” a guard shouted, his voice sending chills down my spine.“Please, she needs water, it's been days,” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.It's been days since we were captured by the lycans, forced to travel under the scorching sun of an unforgiving desert.The lycans rode on horses, while they held our chains, pulling us as fast as they could, as though we were nothing but animals.“Get up you bitch,” the one eyed guard thundered, his loud voice echoing as he dismounted his horse. He was the leader of the guards and the most heartless among them.“Move bitch!” He growled, wielding his wooden spike in his hand with his eyes blazing like primal fire as he glared at her.Steph remained unfazed, unable to speak with her slow shallow breaths. “I need water,” she mumbled incoherently, her voice barely audible.“How dare you!” he barked, raising his spike as he prepar
Chapter 3~Emily~“Get up! Get up!” Thorn roared, hitting the iron cage, his voice echoing in the room.“Arghh!” I groaned, rubbing my eyes weakly as they flickered open. I had barely slept for an hour and the sun was already up.“Wake up bitches, Hey!” He barked, hitting the iron window more aggressively. Steph was still deeply asleep, her breathing erratic and slow.“Steph! It's morning,” I muttered, tapping her slightly. She grumbled, her eyelids fluttering as she opened them weakly.“Move out,” the guards yelled, grabbing our chains as they dragged us outside, into the scorching sun. “Take it easy on her,” I yelled, eying the guard as he pulled Steph's chain. She was barely awake and unable to voice out her pains.The guards kept on pulling our chains, deeper into the castle until we stopped at the courtyard, just outside the main building.“Sit,” Thorn growled, his voice laced with disgust as his eyes darted back and forth.“Ouch!” Steph whimpered, her lips quivering as she sat.
Chapter 4~Emily~“Huh?” I muttered, my eyes widened in shock. "What do they mean by no humans allowed?” I thought, my heart pounding in my chest.Scarlett’s words echoed in my head immediately. “No matter what you do, make sure you pass the test, your life depends on it.”“Every human in our midst should step back immediately, the guards will lead you back to your cage,” Crystal's voice boomed in the speakers.“What do we do now?” Steph asked, holding my hand slowly. I could see the fear in her eyes, her face clouded in mysery.She was usually the stronger and fearless one, but seeing her panic sent a cold shiver down my back.“What do I do now?” I wondered. ‘Do I ignore the rules and participate? Or do I step out and head back to those filthy cages?” These thoughts filled my mind as I contemplated on my next course of action. As much as I hated being a slave, pretending to be a lycan was more than suicide.Apart from their striking physical features, lycans were also known to have
Chapter 5~Zayne~“Enough!” I yelled, my eyes blazing like primal fire as I glared at Thorn. He bent his head downward, unable to look at me as he fiddled with his fingers.“What did I tell you?” I asked, grabbing his neck firmly as he gasped for breath. “What did I fucking say?” I shouted, my voice laced with rage.“D….don't kill any child,” he stuttered, his eyes turning red as his breathing became slow and erratic. “Boss, I'm choking,” he muttered, holding my hands weakly.I quickly released my grip on him before putting them back in my pocket. With a more subtle demeanor, I turned my back on him, walking towards my shelf as I grabbed the bottle of vodka lying carelessly.“Who sent you?” I asked, my voice gentle and tender. He hesitated for a while, fiddling with his words as though he was frightened.“Who sent you?” I repeated, my face twisted in a frown as I turned to look at him.“Luther,” he mumbled, his lips quivering as he spoke.“Luther? You may leave,” I replied, waving my
