I just had to remind you all of the Universal problem. The Ferals are still in the picture.. Don’t forget them— they are more problems than Ivanka, Abasha, and every other vile person combined. The Mad dogs have frozen. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV} “Follow me!” I bellowed to Clord now as I started towards the fairly big hole I spotted in the rocky walls. We were running away from the Ferals and not looking back. Mad Dog round 2.“Where are you going?! Do you know where this hole leads to?!” Clord quizzed me loudly as he trailed hastily after me. The Ferals were just behind us.Their guttural and harsh growling allowed us to keep track of this. “I don’t.. I don’t know!” I yelled back. “But just follow me!” I voiced and he yelled back.“We are going to die!” He bawled just as we jumped into the darkness of the tunnel path. I could understand why he would think that. This could end up being a dead end… where we would be trapped and serve as food for the crazy bunch of Ferals.They were tearing up the tracks behind us and this ended up being a dead end, there would be no escaping for us. I knew this but I still wanted to risk it.. and for some strange reason, I trusted the risk. The tunnel-way was lined with glow
{Ciril’s POV} “So tell me how you knew there would be a Steam lake back there when we were still in those tunnels?” Clord asked me now.It was a new day and we had left that cave to go and search for something to eat since I was almost dying. And now he quizzed me even though he knew I was tired and famished.“And how were you so certain of where to go in those tunnels?” He asked me his second question when I didn’t respond to the question.I had my hood on and a scarf over my mouth so that while I looked at him now, he only saw my eyes. “I don’t know.” I responded. “It was more like a feeling I got.” I explained and he grew a slight frown. “That means that you guessed.” He muttered. “You’re a hypocrite. You know that?” He said to me and I grew confused. “Earlier yesterday when I guessed and landed us in that pond, you criticized me for almost killing us if I had guessed wrongly and landed us on rocks, but then you also did the same thing yesterday. You guessed when you ran throu
{Ciril’s POV} “Okay. This is not entertaining anymore.” Clord started to complain now. “What is he talking about?”I looked away from the clouded skies and back at the kid. I couldn’t lie to myself. I was somewhat confused, but then I wasn’t buying any of the things he was saying. “Who are you?!” I quizzed him now.“I’m just a boy as you can see.” He said with a friendly tone. I was frowning at him. “Well, It’s not me who is doing that. It’s just that time of the season.” I said to him logically.“Nah. It’s you. And the more you argue with me, the more the clouds will keep getting darker, and then it will get to an extent that you might provoke rain to pour down again. And if you still don’t stop your vexing, the weather will keep becoming fierce.” He said back to me. “You’re crazy! And I’m not angry!” I retorted at him. He was a child but he was really pissing me off, hence why I was using harsh words on him. “And even if I was angry, I don’t freaking control the weather. Nobody d
{Prince Landon’s POV} I’ve not had peace…~ One Day Later ~ It was noon now. The entire day had passed by without me knowing.Not that I cared. I just wanted to be here in this room, alone and undisturbed.But then, who am I kidding? I cannot remain undisturbed— not after the things I’ve done. Not after the things I’ve done to her…I didn’t believe her. Countless times when she had told me, countless times when she had looked into my eyes and cried out her sincerity, I had pushed her away and called her a liar. She had been so hurt, so sad, so hungry, so beaten, so soiled, and what did I do? I had scourged her even more. I had looked her in the eyes and told her to walk inside a stream of poop. I commanded warriors to strip her naked and whip her every day. Every fucking day.. I hate myself. She had had so many cuts on her skin— so much more than any of the Reignile warriors had ever received in battle. I hate myself.Countless times she had cried, pleading for me to belie
{Ivanka’s POV} Anika, Ciril’s slave friend, was tied to the stand before the people who were gathered.I was amongst the people and I was seated beside the Alpha Queen, waiting for Ciril’s arrival.Only I and the Alpha seemed really concerned that that Rotter was out there roaming free. Only both of us have been really inclined to capture her as we had been the ones to decide to use Anika as bait. I didn’t understand why Abasha, Dylan, or even the Prince— who had been gone for almost three days now, weren’t as determined to capture Ciril when every second of the day, it’s all I think about. The longer she stays out there harboring such power, the more disturbing it is to me.I’m not scared. No, that’s not it. I’m only just… I hate her. Yeah. And this is why I want her dead so much. We continued waiting now with up to a thousand warriors in hiding. The event of Anika being killed was the bait as we knew Ciril would not want to let her friend die. But then as we stood and watched, s
{Ivanka’s POV} Everybody shot to their feet now. And for the people who had been standing, they stretched their necks now as they tried to espy. With Prince Landon’s presence, and with what he had just done, the atmosphere switched to a shocking one. — especially since no one had seen him in two days and now he just shows up and interrupts the execution process. Very strange. I folded my arms. The Alpha Queen also rose up to her feet now, and she had a confused look on her face as she gazed at the Prince.“Landon?” She muttered upon her rise. “Where have you been?” She asked. “And what are you doing?” She added.Yeah. What is he doing?I wanted to know that part. As for his whereabouts, I hadn’t been that bothered when he had randomly disappeared from the Palace because I knew he was the Alpha Prince— the strongest and sexiest werewolf male in the entire Reigns, so I knew no harm could come to him. But then the Alpha Queen was his mother and naturally bound to show intimate conc
{Ciril's POV} “Do you believe him?” I said now, breaking the silence that lingered between Clord and me as we strolled.Clord had brought out a few coins earlier and I didn’t know how he had managed to get them but then he had suggested that we go use them to get some cooked food and switch up from the raw flesh we’ve been eating recently. I couldn’t say no to such an offer so now, we were headed to an eating house in one of the Packs near the rocky terrain we had settled in and we were going to spend his mysterious coins. I was all covered up and my face wrapped from the sight of the people trailing by while Clord was busy roaming like a free man. He was a Rogue now so no one gives a fuck about him until he tries to get accommodation in a Pack or gets too comfortable in a place for too long.After Ivanka had had him banished, his Pack’s Pendant was ripped away from his neck to signify that he was a Rogue to anyone who would ever run into him. So now, he bore that Rogue presence an
{Ciril's POV} “Looks like we just got rich, boys.”I scrambled up to my feet immediately, and then I promptly tried to cover up my face. But then it was already too late. The situation just went from a frying pan to fire. The hoodlums left Clord alone now as they all started surrounding me so that I wouldn’t escape. But escaping was all that was on my mind so I was hunting for anything that I thought to be an opportunity… and I saw one— a gap between the two he-wolves on my right. I immediately took the opportunity and rushed at them. They were all partly distracted with their bantering and success-story exchange so I successfully squeezed through the middle of both men before they all became alert.I was fast. I would do anything to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. I’ve been molested in the past and now that these Scrotes were about doing the same and more, I had to do my very best to prevent it.But then…I thought I was quick and making progress as I raced away, but th
{Landon’s POV} Two news was all it took to make my mother go completely silent. It was expected since the two news were two heavy news. But then for me, it was different. On my right-hand side was a dead warrior who had spilled blood out also good news before he died. — Ciril was alive.I didn’t understand how, but then I was grateful for the fact that she still survived.And then on my leftward area was this General who was perfectly alive and had presented us with grave news. It was disturbing knowledge and I found myself already trembling at the reality of it. The Ferals had taken over the Southern Reigns and now, they were threatening to do the same to the West.— they were threatening to take our home from us. And about months ago, their attempt didn’t seem possible in the slightest but now, it was becoming a dreadful reality. Our people were dying… and being turned into monsters that attacked the survival of the rest.What worse fate could there be?This situation was thre
{Ciril’s POV} I was chained… and a Palace guard strolled towards me now to release me from those chains.But then before this, I had shed blood.… but not my blood. My mother, after receiving reports about Ciril, had thrown everything she could at her, sending about three hundred men to bring down just one female— to kill her.It was a crazy attempt, one that I was not in support of— and because of this, a fight had broken out. I had stood in the warriors’ path just as they were about to leave for the mission to attack Ciril, and I had commanded the warriors to return to the Palace, making it known that anyone who dared overstep would face me.So many of them had overstepped.And so many of them had lost their lives…It had been a massacre at the Central Palace gates yesterday as I tore down warriors who dared disobey my authority.Of course, they had been following my mother’s command since she was their Queen but then I was their Alpha Prince and the rightful candidate for the thr
{Ciril’s POV} All my sessions of training and learning from my mistakes have really paid off as I now knew how to control the Celestial State. In contrast to weeks ago, I now knew how to shift into the State whenever I wanted to.And now that I wanted to, light poured into my eyes and I continued on my journey towards the Palace. I didn’t exactly know my way back to that wretched place but then with my powers, I felt like I suddenly understood the layout of the entire Reigns… and so I could locate the Palace.I continued trudging away now, allowing my rage to take over me. “Ciril!” Feryt’s voice became louder when she realized what was happening. She started calling after me.“Ciril, wait! Stop!”“Ciril!” Clord joined her in the beckoning and I ignored both of their calls.Only the intention I bore in mind mattered to me and the only thing that mattered more was the execution of that intention.The Alpha Queen was the General reason for all my distress. Everything that has ever happ
{Ciril’s POV} Dylan was dead… and my thoughts made me seem sinister. Never would I have thought that a time in the future would come when the death of someone would fill me with so much glee and satisfaction.Never would I have thought that I would be hunting for lives to end— and actually ending them.I had created a list, born out of my anger and bitterness while I had been a tortured slave. And it was a list of people I hoped to kill, but then, at the point of the list creation, I never really believed that I would actually be able to satisfy the list. I never actually believed I would one day be strong enough to actually kill someone on that list. I had just kept adding names to that list as my bitterness and anguish kept rising and I never knew if I would ever be able to fulfill that list.But then my fate had unexpectedly changed… and I was chosen by the Moon Goddess to be the Champion of the Reigns. And now, here I am with the power to thrash my enemies and reign over them.—
{Ciril’s POV} I paced towards him and stood before him, waiting for him to gain full consciousness so I could make him lose it.— Slowly and painfully. This was not going to be easy for him.We made eye contact and I realized that the amount of hatred I felt for this man was intense. The scourging memories came pouring back and they only made me heave more than I was already doing. He became fully aware of my presence now so that he started to tremble and crawl backward… while I paced forward.“No.. no. Stay back!” He voiced but I kept creeping forward. “Stop coming close!” He bawled in his fright and then I stopped walking.And then I bent down to pick up a fairly thick branch from the tree that had fallen. I broke the branch into two and then I swiftly spun and threw both of them simultaneously away into a distance at an angle to my right. Both pieces of wood went streaking furiously through the air… and then slammed into the bodies of the two warriors who had been getting aw
{Ciril’s POV} I wanted to storm at him with everything in me.I wanted to lunge at his face and peel it right off from the skeleton underneath.I wanted to tear open different parts of his body and lacerate his organs.But I couldn’t.I was raging and panting, but standing in a position. “Come close and the fucker dies!” He had Rowan in his clutch and he had his claws to his throat as he glared at me.The men he had around him trembled at the sight of me as they shifted away and hid behind Dylan but then Dylan had his reassurance right there in his arms so he was solid. He knew I would value the life of my mates and he used that against me.I was growling. I was growling furiously and trudging angrily where I stood as I was contemplating my next move and simultaneously trying to control myself. I was crazy furious but then I was conscious and I didn’t want to do anything that would cost Rowan his life.“I don’t know what sort of power this is but I’m not dying today. You hear me?!”
{Ciril’s POV} The circle grew wider.Everyone around me trembled away when my scowl went from fierce to fiercer… and my eyes went from plain to glowing rage…I glared directly at Dylan. I hadn’t spoken or responded to his utterances all this while because I hoped to make a statement with my killing him so I motioned to do that now.But then with my gaze on him, he realized and swiftly jumped into the crowd of his warriors while someone yelled attack. With that, Dylan disappeared from my sight while bodies stormed at me from all sides.Some of the fighters were hesitant to attack since they were frightened by me but then some others weren’t so they stubbornly came for me.MistakeI could hear a hundred heartbeats..I could perceive a hundred scents.. And I could practically sense everyone around me as they moved so I knew every angle everyone was coming from. And with this, when they got to me, my actions spoke louder than theirs.All I needed was one blow— one blow to end their li
{Ciril’s POV} “Bring me her head!” “Check over there!” I heard Dylan’s voice… and I tensed. I couldn’t mistake it. He was my first mate ever and because of this, I had familiarized myself with parts of him during that little moment before he had rejected me that day in the Alpha Mansion’s grand Hall here at RawHowl several months ago.And one of the parts I had familiarized myself with was his voice… and so I was sure to my bones. Rowan, Feryt, and Clord panicked now. I could see it in their expressions and in their movements as they raced about the room, contemplating the next move they would make and measuring how dreadful our predicament was.I just stood there, motionless in the middle of the room… and I clenched my fists. “Ciril!” Feryt came up to me and poured on me her dread. “What are we going to do?! They are burning the whole place to the ground and will soon get to us!” She voiced in her trembling.“We can’t hide here! We are going to die!” Clord joined in the compla
{Ciril’s POV} ~ Three Days Later ~ I was standing in an open space. It’s been two days since that incident at that Neighboring Pack, Grayvel and I haven’t stopped thinking about it.— Or feeling good about it.Lives had been lost but it felt good knowing that I had made a difference.Yeah. Another thing to feel good about was the fact that I was beginning to make improvements in my training…“Okay, Ciril. Are you ready?” Clord asked me as he stood before me in the open space, wearing so many layers of clothes to the extent that he looked like a fat mannequin. He couldn’t even move properly. He was scared of me and emotionally scarred by me and Rowan had bid him to train with me today so that I could gain his confidence by not losing control and killing him once I went into the Celestial State. I was learning how to control myself. After almost killing Feryt and realizing I might mistakenly kill someone else in the future, I made it a must to have control of my powers so Clord h
