Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The sickening scent of blood filled the air. Dead and battered bodies littered the ground. They are not bodies of random people. On the contrary, the bodies belong to all familiar faces; my family, my friends, and my pack members.The sound of wails, groans and grunts took over the once peaceful land.Tears streamed down my cheeks as the horrific view made my stomach churn.Cries of help travelled to my ears but apart from the dead bodies on the ground,no life could be spotted." This is all your fault!" A creepy voice whispered in my ears and I shook my head frantically.My fault? How could that be?" You could have saved them, but you chose yourself. All their deaths are on you. Their blood will haunt you to insanity!" Then the voice burst out laughing.Dark. Sinister. That would be the perfect explanation of how the laughter sounded.It emanated from the depths of hell, perhaps from the grim reaper himself.A sudden change of scene had me smiling.There he was. Alive. He was still b
I take a deep breath, smiling to myself. Finally! Finally, I am back to the place that holds my most beautiful memories but also my painful ones.For five years, I have dreaded coming back here. What was I afraid of? I certainly don't know but one thing is for sure,I don't see myself running away again." Running away won't solve your problems. The earlier you face them, the better." Those were the good-bye words my professor and mentor told me when I broke the news about going home to him.Leaving behind my glorious days back at the human world wasn't that easy but it was a decision I knew I was bound to make.I needed this, for my sanity and my family which loves me with everything they've got." Linda? Is that you?" A familiar voice called, making me stiffen before balling my fists.Turning around, albeit reluctantly, I plastered a fake smile on my face. Over the years, I have learnt something very important; masking my true feelings with a smile.' Smile until it passes or kills

Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as
Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and
The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence. " Why would you allow her to enter valeria's room? " He asked and this time, it's Kaiser
