Chapter 17
"Mother!!!" She screams as she saw the sword of her father in her mother's body, she limps as fast as she could but her mother was already falling to her death.
Xerxes was frozen in time as he watched his Mate fall into a deep slumber,"No...no..... Octavia open your eyes!!" He falls to his knees to tap her on her cheek, "you promised me!! Don't leave me!!!" He shakes her violently but she isn't moving anymore, "Octavia!!" And his tears drop on her face, he finally lost her.She was cold and she was numb; she was dead.Arcadia reaches her but it was too late, her mother had finally left her, her words kept replaying in her head, "mother.....mother.... please.....don't...." She couldn't help the tears that poured from her eyes, "nooo!!!!!" She is shattered.Magnus tries to flee while he can but the moment Xerxes catches sight of him, he superspeeds to the killer and kicks him so hard he flies back to square one. He jumps on topChapter 18"Very well, and how do you want him to die and when do you want him to die?" He leads her out of the Queen's memorial with a hand around her waist,"That is undecided, I would give him a chance to prove himself a loyal wolf and if not, then I want his head on a plate, the same thing that happened to father. It was quite incredible how you made his head fly that far." They laugh at the last statement,"Magnus deserves what happened to him, the only person that didn't deserve to die was your mother." his eyes sadden a little as he remembered how cold she was that day"Let us not invite sadness into our own hearts, mother would be proud of us irrespective," she wraps her arm around his torso in an embrace, "what will you get me for my coronation??" She smirks devilishly, she hadn't really changed, she had just matured.Only slightly though. She was still Loving and carefree but when she needed to put down a point she became more like the late
Chapter 19He freezes before turning to his comrade, "Czar you should be very careful with your words, if Mace hears this then he won't hesitate to throw you out, he doesn't want to hear anything about Arcadia, how can you go around telling him that he is sill in love with her after everything that had happened?!" Loki was worse than a nagging mother, Czar rolls her eyes,"If it wasn't a big deal for master then he wouldn't have an issue talking about it, but since he's clearly still attached he's doing everything to forget." He rubs his wrinkled nose, "but I doubt if he would ever be able to forget her, she would always be that quest he couldn't conquer." Czar begins to walk ahead and it's only a matter of a few strides for Loki to meet up with him,"So what are you suggesting we do? Make him forget about her? Is that even possible?" Czar smirks a little,"All a man needs is another woman in his life and he has forgotten his whole past, we
Chapter 20"And what exactly does that mean Xerxes? Are you seriously in support with Arcadia ruling the kingdom? She would drive us to destruction!!" Azeah tried to make him see the light but Xerxes was barely listening to him, he was just enjoying his apple, "are you paying any attention to me?!""No, because all you're saying is just nonsense, Arcadia is perfectly capable of ruling and defending us, I don't know what you're so worried about." He throws the residue outside the window and Azeah felt like pulling out all of his brown locks,"I understand you know, you're just agreeing with her because she's your daughter, so you would be considered royalty," he slander him and Xerxes turned to face him properly, he had a feeling he would be chopping off heads very soon, "don't you feel ashamed? You slept with the Queen and produced....you produced that... An ill—""I've let you talk enough," his death bringer was too close to his neck, "say
Chapter 21"Master, may I be excused?" His sudden need to leave was a bit suspicious but Sativa knew what was up, "I would take her back to her home to make sure she is safe, it won't be long." He hopes Mace lets him go and to his prayer he gives him the go ahead, he wasn't interested in listening to anything else she had to say.He was too annoyed to even listen to her nonsense. The age must have made her crazy.They walked back together and she could feel the smile on his face, "you seem very happy boy, is it your lover?" She couldn't help the snort that came afterwards and it makes him blush,"Mace might have issues with his love life but I'm very happy with mine," he says triumphantly as he had always been called the lover boy since little, he was a very emotional bad boy wolf, he opens the letter to be greeted by the scent of roses, it makes him go mad each and every time, "I wonder what she had written this time around." He couldn't stop smi
Chapter 22Loki was preparing to see his lover, making sure his hair was okay and he was smelling good, he never stopped smiling like an idiot anytime he thought of her, he was dying to make her his, anything to touch her and have her call him mate officially."And where are you going to?" The sound of his voice gave him chills, Mace walks into the room to look at what his half brother was doing to his hair, so much gel, "it's Sheila isn't it?" He knew at the instant and Loki laughed,"Yes, she requested to see me and I have to look good." He was a dashing young wolf,"Are you sure she isn't playing with your emotions Loki? I've never seen her here so I don't know why you're always so up and about when it comes to her." He jumps on his bed, "there are other women in this palace that you could always take for yourself, the women we took from the war are beyond beautiful." He tries to pull him to his side but deep down he knew Loki would
Chapter 23Days pass and it's a few days of princess Arcadia's coronation, from now one she would formally be called Queen Arcadia after the special day, and as usual there would always be schemers who want to take the kingdom from her."Pull your form up boy!" Xerxes throws a stone at the young lad and it hits him in the torso, he winces but he still holds up his position, balancing rocks on his arm and being made to stand on a foot,"You don't have to throw stones at me!" He bites back, his black hair was already sticking to his forehead due to the sweat,"I would throw more than stones so straighten up!!" He barks and the boy is made to readjust himself according to what his master wants from him, "now that's better. If you want to be the Queen's best man then you must be prepared for anything and everything, nothing must happen to her while you're still alive." He feels the daggers in his heart, how he wished he would've saved Octavia that day
Chapter 24His land was burning, there was fire everywhere, he did everything to put it out but the fire couldn't be quenched, all his men had been slain and he had no idea where his Betas were, they just left him to die.He has no strength left to fight so he begins to hide and cower away, that was until he was found by his worst enemy,"Are you running away from me now?!" She makes fun of him as she pulled him out of his hiding place, she settles herself comfortably in his upper torso, she instilled fear in his heart as her fangs were dripping blood, "don't you want me as a mate anymore?" She cocks her head playfully before laughing like the bloodthirsty demon she was."Stay away from me!!" He more of begs than commands, he was scared of her,"Awwwn, is the big bad alpha afraid of me? I'm just a woman after all." She inches closer to him so he could suffer the stench of stale blood, he pushes her off him and runs as fast as he could only fo
Chapter 25After hearing what Sativa had to say about the soon-to-be Queen of the north, Mace was more than determined to make sure he proves her wrong. He entered his palace at Dawn and he sights Czar first only because he was coming to him,"It seems you're up early master, earlier than usual, you should be resting and not training," Czar shows his concern but the look on Mace's face caused him to change the course of direction of his statement, "did something happen?""What can you tell me about Arcadia? Have you been watching her like I asked you too?" He walks ahead and Czar trails him,"Yes I have been watching her carefully, her coronation is in two days, my spies have said she has a lot of enemies, no one wants her to become the Queen since she's an illegitimate child." His report is said with half a smirk, "are you planning an attack on her again? Are you sure you're ready Master?""If I wait then she would begin to win the fav
Chapter 84. He pulls out of her and puts her on her knees, pulling her closer to him, she looks back to see what he was doing, eager to have him in her again. He injects himself into her and she moans loudly at his entrance, her moans get louder when he starts thrusting deep into her, hitting her pleasure spot."Ahhh!! Mace ahhhh!!" She gripped the sheets as he held her hips in place, slamming into her poor cookie and ripping it apart with his vein-y muscle, hard and rough was how he was giving it to her. It was what he always wanted, and her moaning only made his dreams come true, "oh please Mace!! Oh Mace!! Mace!!" Already screaming he pulls her up by her hair so he could kiss her and massage her tits,"You're loving it aren't you? You're so dirty aren't you? My queen," he groans in her ears before he forces her head down to the bed and fucks the living Daylight out of her. She screams in the sheets as her orgasm came over and over again
Chapter 83.This period was especially naughty since the women would be on heat and do their best to find their males with the use of heir pheromone. It was Octavia' s favorite day of the month. It was just mid-day but the preparations were in a full swing, everyone was getting ready to celebrate, every single person had the chance of finding a mate. "I might get lucky with a girl you know." Conan whispers to his brother and Asher mocks him with a laugh, "No offense but I think you're meant to be single all your life." His Savage remark makes Conan's mouth drops to the floor, he had the worst brother ever. Sheila was dressing Loki up in something prestigious, it was a royal attire for the most esteemed soldiers of the kingdom and he looked gorgeous in it. He desperately tries to make his hair smooth but Sheila kept roughening up. "I like it this way." She smiles seductively at him but he didn't like how
Chapter 82"Xerxes, go to Arcadia, apologise to her, I'm recovering already." She does her best to convince him to go speak to his daughter, it had been three days and he had refused to see Arcadia after she defended Mace,"I want to stay with you." The tears choke his voice but she manages to pull him into an embrace, and he sheds tears for the first time in quite a while, "Arcadia has broken me completely." He sobs uncontrollably,"Xerxes, she is your daughter, she would hurt you from time to time. But," she takes a pause, "I have a feeling she is Bewitched."He raises his head in shock, "what?! Charmed??" It sounded do off to him but Octavia had noticed that her daughter was not the same anymore, she nods her head slowly, "could that be why she is defending Mace with her life?""I believe so, she does not even know she is under a spell but it feels like true love. I am weak and it would take me time to break the spell,
Chapter 81"I'm fine mother, it was just a scratch." The morning had come and they had managed to defend themselves against the parasitic demon wolves, Octavia had refused to leave her daughter's side and the excessive doting had gotten on Arcadia's nerves."It is clearly not just a scratch, you could have lost your foot Arcadia!!" She is so worried about her but she didn't see it as a big deal,"Mother please, I'll be fine, Mace is here to take care of me." She points to her new lover who was leaning on the wall, she eyes his carefully, she had observed that she had been getting closer to Mace all of a sudden.It felt too off to her, and what she saw last night was even more unsettling. She came to aid her daughter with her injury and she saw Mace in wolf form, he had the same dark appearance of one of the demon wolves but the only thing he had different was his eyes.She guesses anyone could have that appearance but his
Chapter 80."Loki!!" He runs at the speed of light to find his brother and he sees him trying to pick food for his stomach, he wasn't picking but he was stealing instead. He gives him a hard slap on the back and he chokes on the corn he was eating,"What now?" His is angry and Mace chuckles deeply knowing fully well his brother does not like to be disturbed when eating,"Your charm works!! Arcadia is in love with me!!" He is ecstatic, and the smile on his face is oddly happy,"Well that's a good thing but this happiness of yours is what is confusing me." He chews his corn in low-key suspicion, Mace punches his chest,"It means our plan is working, she can't say no to me or to my touches, I was able to feel her skin and not bleed to death." And Loki chokes on his corn,"You touched her?!" He gets some water and eyes the entrance to make sure none of the cooks saw him stealing food, "it is that potent?" He didn't believ
Chapter 79.Morning came and there had been more news about the demon wolves attacking anyone they see, it had put Arcadia in a difficult position as her people came t her begging for help, seeking protection from their Queen.But everything was amiss.Xerxes and Octavia had gone to investigate the matter and were attacked by a few wolves but made it out as she used her powers to defend the both. It was a side of Octavia he had never seen and she had a lot of explaining to do; majority dating back to her past.She had to set up charms to ward off the demon wolves with the scent of roses which they found offensive, it was the major reason they kept attacking the town as most of the people living in it were of the rose clan."That is the last one." She ties it gently to the biggest tree and she runs the sweat off her brow, she feels dizzy for a while but her husband is behind her to catch her, "thank you so much, it's been a
Chapter 78"Arcadia??" He called out to her but she didn't open her door, he pushes the door open but he notices a weight blocked it from opening fully, he slides himself through the small space and sees his daughter unconscious on the floor, "Arcadia!!" He lifts her up and drops her on the bed, she moans lightly as she struggled with sleep, but alas, it had left her when he carried her,"Father?" She rubs the sleep out of her eyes, "what is the matter?" Blue eyes stare into blue eyes but he was troubled,"I saw you on the floor, I thought something bad had happened to you," he was filled with fear after what Octavia said Sativa told her, "I didn't know you were sleeping.""It is okay, I fell asleep actually," her eyes scan her room but he could see the we're swollen, like she had been crying, "father I have a question?" He nods in approval for her to speak, "what are the qualities of a good Queen?" And this was when self doubt
Chapter 77Octavia is pacing round the room while Xerxes leaned on the wall, they were discussing the matter of the demon wolves and what Sativa had said about Arcadia."I think we would just kill Mace, he is causing too much trouble for my daughter." His suggestion makes her freeze to give him a hard look,"Did you not hear me when I said that the sage said that Mace is her Mate??" She goes off on him but Xerxes rolls his eyes,"Sativa is old, she can always make a mistake and not even know it." He counters and this makes Octavia groan loudly,"I've known Sativa since I was born, she gave me my name as she was an elder, she is blessed by the goddess, she can't make a mistake and travel a great distance to spill nonsense Xerxes!!" She took is personal and this irked him,"I want the best for Arcadia and Mace is not the best!!" He fires back and things went down south, she rubs her temples in frustration,"Are you sayin
Chapter 76Her eyes enlarged to the size of a frog's, "my Queen!! How old are you?!" Her question makes her erupt in laughter, it was so loud that Xerxes heard and when he saw her laughing he felt annoyed. He had been waiting for hours for her and she was having fun with Sheila, he was worried sick that something might have happened to her."I'm not so old!!" She pouts cutely, "I knew your mother, she was....a character...." She remembers the disturbance of a life time she got during her youthful years, Sheila sighed sadly, she missed her mother, "she was opportune to give birth earlier than I did. It's been close to four decades since the war against demon wolves, it has been long and it hasn't been long.""Octavia!!" His tone booms and gives her quite a fright, "I have been worked up since you left!! You didn't take any soldier with you, you just ran out!!""I took Sheila." She is quick to point out to hide her mistake,"Actua
