A fresh start with the Lycan king One at a time
SOPHIE'S POVMy heart plagued me with thoughts of what had transpired the previous night. I had to see Luke to tell him what I had learned so he could tell Magnus. Luke would know how to go about it better than me since he was the Beta.As I had excused myself from the sight of Magnus torturing the doctor the previous day, I had heard footsteps behind me and seen his body being carried away by the palace guards. I realized that he was dead.I had spied the other doctor walking rapidly out of the palace and went to confront him directly. He looked surprised at being addressed."Dr Lyon, Magnus killed him?" I asked, stopping him in his tracks."No, he poisoned himself before he could go further with the investigation.""You were there with us at first," He said, recognizing me as he looked over at me. "Tell me, why did you leave?,""I couldn't stand the sight of the torture," I mumbled. In truth, I was scared that I might give away the knowledge that I had overheard what the Queen had d
A fresh start with the Lycan king All hail the King
MAGNUS POVI strode into the office at a hurried pace and sank into my leather chair with a sigh. My body was tired from not resting for days now but I refused to give into the stress. The murder of my father was shocking, a very bold move on the part of the pepetrators.I had doubled security around the palace after that as I planned to secretly carry out my investigation. The doctor definitely didn't act alone. I would have to start from the kitchen, whoever it was would have had to bribe a staff. I would have to interrogate the kitchen staff one by one till I found the culprit.There wasn't going to be any escape for them. If it took a repeat of what happened to Kal Fang to bring them to justice, I vowed that I would do it.I went to Betty's room to check on her as I hadn't seen her since morning. It was about three hours to the burial. After that, I planned to see Sophie."Come in," She said after I knocked twice. I opened the door and went in.She was playing chess with herself.
A fresh start with the Lycan king Marathon
SOPHIE POVI subtly tried to locate Luke in the crowd. The reception of the crowning ceremony had moved to the grand hall in the castle.It was a lively atmosphere and there was much dancing and merrying around. It was frustrating that I couldn't talk to a Lycan through the mindlink unless he talked first to me.I finally spotted him doing shots with his warriors. He won the drinking bout and there was a lot of boasting on his part after which he poured the rest of the content in the bottle on his head. They were all a wild bunch."Sophieee!," He exclaimed as he saw me, drawing out the sound of my name and I knew that he was slightly drunk. "Come dance with me," He said dragging me off before I could protest. We were on the dance floor in no time and he was spinning me quite gracefully. I was surprised that he could dance so well. I remembered my dance with Magnus, it was okay at best but I could tell that he had been out of practice. The goddess knew when last he danced."You owe m
A fresh start with the Lycan king Silver
I awoke to the golden glow of dawn seeping through the silk curtains that draped the grand soft bed. I remembered sleepily that I wasn't in my room. As I stretched beneath the plush blankets, my fingers reached out instinctively, searching for the warmth of my Magnus body, but they met only the cool emptiness of his side of the bed.Confusion clouded my thoughts, and I blinked away the remnants of sleep as I propped myself up on my elbow. "Magnus?" I called out, my voice barely above a whisper since it was still early.There was no response, he had to be in the bathroom then, I thought. I listened for sounds from that direction but heard none. The weight of an unsettling feeling pressed upon my chest as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and rose to my feet, the sheer nightgown rustling softly around me.I padded across the chamber, the cool marble floor chilling my bare feet, and pushed aside the heavy drapes that divided the window. I peered outside and couldn't see anything
A fresh start with the Lycan king A strange confession
MAGNUS POVI couldn't believe my ears when Miss Prisca stepped forward and admitted that she was the one who had killed the King. There was a collective gasp from everyone at her words."Miss Prisca, this is quite a serious matter, I'm not joking here" I said, trying to be polite. We had been close since I was a child and didn't want to insult her."I said that I was the one who poisoned the tea he took," She said, further confirming her words. She stood with her arms folded and seemed resigned to any fate that awaited her."You are covering up for someone, who is it?" I asked, impatient with her. She had to be shielding someone from my wrath."Miss Prisca?" Sophie called, going to stand beside her. "You don't have to protect the person. Please reconsider what you're saying.She shrugged off Sophie's hands from her shoulder, her face was now animated. She looked like she had been bottling up her feelings for long."I've hated your father, the King for a long time. He is everything wro
A fresh start with the Lycan king The Council
SOPHIE POVWe got to the council minutes later as we didn't spend much time on the road. Magnus had driven in a hurry all the way. It was a miracle that we hadn't gotten into an accident.The building was a large one and stood regal among its smaller counterparts. There were porters around too who saluted us as soon as they saw us. The whole thing was grand. Magnus looked at me to gauge my reaction to the place but I threw my face away. The incident with Miss Prisca had been so shocking. Despite her admitting it, I didn't believe one word of her confession. She was a perfect cat paw for the Queen since she had a motive.The symbol she had made with her hand before she had walked away confirmed my suspicions. She had cupped her hand to form an inverted chalice. In werewolf slang, it meant Luna. I had thought she was paying me her last respect but on the drive here, I realized that I wasn't the only Queen in the kingdom. She had been referring to the King's mother.Despite my sad thoug
A fresh start with the Lycan king Lawson
"What did you say?" Magnus said, rising up in a flash. His voice thundered across the room as his aura flared out making us all shake in our seats."Calm down, Magnus, hear him out first," Mr Thompson advised him. I knew what was coming realizing the warning was in vain.It was already too late, Magnus had already wolfed out and grabbed Mr Lawson by the neck. The Lycans all pleaded with him but to no avail. Mr Lawson wolfed out too trying to save himself but Magnus grip on him was too tight even as he did. We could all feel his sheer strength. Tapping his hand quickly , Mr. Lawson, still in his partially transformed wolf form, gasped for breath as he struggled to speak. The council members, all realizing the gravity of the situation, were all on their feet. They all frantically tried to convince Magnus to release him. Mr Sinclair, the charmer and I were the only one still seated, I was curious to see how it was going to play out. Mr. Thompson's voice remained steady as he implored Ma
A fresh start with the Lycan king The Footage
The news hit me like a thunderbolt, and I watched in shock as Magnus's face contorted with rage and concern. As the car sped back to the council's meeting place, the tension in the air grew even thicker as many questions ran through my head. My heart raced, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread about the escalating situation.When we arrived back at the council's chambers, the scene was different. There were some people gathered around the entrance. We could see Mr Thompson arguing about something with the staff members working there. We ran towards him and he headed for us once he saw us. He looked grim and agitated that he appeared to have aged more in the few minutes that I saw him. "Glad you came back quickly. Dreadful business, we can't believe it." He said, shaking his head. "Where is he now?" Magnus said, looking past him."They are all inside, they didn't go far when it happened so so I called them back." Inside, the council members were in a frenzy, their voices r
