Uh oh!!! Ivanka is here— and we all know it’s for trouble. Haha. Lol…Don’t hate me guys. All these are important in the development of the story. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}I tensed as my eyes fell on her.Ivanka in a royalty-embedded dress was still a vile sight. I trembled back now.She had power over at RawHowl since she was the Luna’s daughter but here she had even more power as she was now the wife of a Top Reignile General and the Alpha Prince’s best friend… while I was still a slave— always the slavegirl.I made eye contact with her and I backed away while she smiled in reaction— smiled evilly. Fear struck my chest and it made me pace faster but then I only succeeded in backing up into one of the statues. I stopped walking now with a hastily beating chest and just then, she began to speak.“How do I look?” She asked me weirdly now but then I stared at her dress for a moment in order to give her her answer.“You.. you look clean and pretty, Ivanka.” I said and she immediately bawled at me.“It’s Mistress to you!” She stoned her words at me and I tensed and then I corrected myself.“Sorry, Mistress.” I said with my head bowed low. “G
{Ciril’s POV}Last night was no common night at all.To me, it was a torturous night.I had just gotten to the Palace but I had already seen enough reason to want to run away. But then I couldn’t run away since I knew the repercussions I would face if I was caught— deadly repercussions. But then last night was still compelling me to scarper away, and now that it was daytime, I could only walk around with dread in the pit of my chest.I had seen gory scenes last night.I have never seen a werewolf so brutally wounded. There had been blood everywhere in the Hencher, and the more we tried to treat the Warriors that bled, the more they bled.So many of them ended up dying and the Caregivers could only save just a few. Hence, by the time I was done with my shift, I had the blood of 100 men on my dress and skin… and I had one question to ask. What sort of creature wounded these warriors in this fashion?Note. I had so many questions— a bunch of them, but this was most paramount among othe
{Ciril’s POV}How can the event of someone’s promotion be seen as bad news?How can you detest the rising up of someone to noble posts?Well, when that person is Ivanka, you think of it as the worst type of news.Ivanka was one of the most vile and cruel souls I’ve ever met and instead of her likes to be pulled down the ranks of supremacy, she was being exalted even more.Instead of her being stripped of her power, she was being fueled with more while I was abandoned on the opposite side of the spectrum.Now she had been made Seneschal and was now in charge of me— in charge of my life. What could be more horrific than this?I tried to stop myself from visibly panicking now that it was announced. I tried to stop myself from trembling as Ivanka’s eyes were on me since I knew that was what she wanted.With Edwin’s conclusion now, Ivanka stepped forward, spreading her arms apart in a dramatic fashion that signified pride and self praise. I and the other Slavegirls just stared at her displ
{Ciril’s POV}“I said, take a seat.” Ivanka glared at me with her harsh volume… and then she smiled weirdly. “Please.” She added with a gentle smile.I slowly started bending to sit, not bothering to check if there was actually something behind me that I could sit on, but then fortunately, my bum met with an object— most likely a clothed stool, and I sat down on it. “Good girl.” Ivanka muttered and she gave me a once over before she positioned her bent self before Alpha Dylan, causing her nipples to point downwards. Just then, Alpha Dylan rose up from his sitting position and hovered his burly figure over Ivanka who was bent, ass turned towards him.They both stared at me now and I tried to pick which vile face I would look at while Alpha Dylan inserted his shaft into Ivanka’s behind. I randomly chose Ivanka’s face but it was a stupid choice.Ivanka licked her lips now and then she sashayed her hips in preparation to receive Alpha Dylan and just then she gasped.Loudly.Her back arc
{Ciril’s POV}I rested my eyes on the Prince and I tensed with the sight— and I tensed even more with the proximity.I was standing skin-to-skin with him…His hands on my waist had stopped me from falling… but then they were still on my waist.He was holding me.— with warm gentle hands that caused the hairs on my skin to gain wild excitement.I stared at him, into the blue mystifying wonder that were his eyes.They were beautiful from afar, but up close…They were something else.—something more beautiful than beauty.. and I don’t even know what that is.I tried to focus on forming words now. “I.. M-My. It w-wasn’t.. I didn’t…”Speaking was suddenly the hardest thing in the world.But then I knew why— It was the effect he had on me. But despite knowing this, I couldn’t tear my gaze off of him.I couldn’t stop looking at the calmness and lure that adorned his face and features. He was effortlessly the most stunning chap I’ve ever seen— and I’ve met a lot of stunning chaps as over the
{Ciril’s POV}We heard the peak of Feral’s outburst as he got to us with his murderous haste but then he never got to make any physical contact as another body jumped between us timely.It wasn’t a squad of strong sentries or a group of adept guards. It was just one person and now he seemed to be giving the Feral an actual fight than those four dead Sentries.The Alpha Prince. My heart started to race even faster when I realized it was him. His bold growl filled the air now as he exchanged blows with the Feral but then he was evading most of the blows that came from the viscous lunatic.With the noise, the Palace was awoken and bodies came running towards our axis and surrounding the area— warriors and Sentries alike. But then none of them interfered in the battle as the Alpha Prince seemed to be handling the Feral just fine.Now, he avoided a fierce blow to the Feral by shifting away to the side and then he retaliated with a clawing blow to the Feral back. And with the impact on th
{Ciril’s POV}I had been trying hard not to spill wine or do anything stupid while attending to the royal family. But I finally spilled wine. Yep.With the Queen’s utterance, I couldn’t control my uneasiness as the Prince being married and marked by someone else meant that he would reject me soon enough. And so, this sudden panic made my fingers twitch while I was pouring wine for the King so that I then dumped the remaining content onto his legs.I trembled away as realization hit me.I had been distracted.A look of horror claimed my face now as I rushed and knelt before the King. “My King, I’m so sorry. I d-didn’t realize that—”There was an impact. And I found my chin touching the ground the next second.The Alpha King had smacked me with a quick fist and now he was getting up to pour his rage on me now. “Have you gone mad, slave?!” He bawled and threw out his claws in his outburst. In reaction, I gathered myself up to my knees and bowed before him, my head touching the ground.
{Ciril’s POV}The Prince’s plan was a wild and crazy one but then he meant it.He ended up not rejecting me but then as obligated of him and as necessary for our act, he still whipped me— which felt like the most awful thing ever as he was still my mate.— and him scourging me as my mate was bruising me on the inside more than it was doing on the outside.But then, he didn’t whip me with the metal strip whip that was required for the process as he ended up bringing out another whip he had secretly been carrying. It was still a whip but a much less torturing one as it had light leather strips and not serrated metal wires. The Prince was supposed to lash me all over my body but then he had only whipped my back and bailed out, saying he couldn’t go any further. Metal whip or no metal whip, full body beating or no full body beating, I had ended up shedding tears as the very idea of being whipped by your other half was not a nice thing in the slightest. In recompense, the Prince had hel
{Ciril’s POV} I spilled blood and I reigned chaos… .. but then I was only just getting started.Weirdly, there were only a couple of warriors left for me to kill— a litter of about fifteen of them after I had just killed dozens. It was weird because I expected the Alpha Queen to send the entire Garrison after me since she knew I was here.Anyhoo…I punched my claws into the throat of one of the warriors just as he tried to attack me, and with the force of my bashing, his head instantly separated from his body and just stayed there on my claws.I used it to smash into the head of another attempting Cunt— skull collided with skull and they both cracked.“AHHH!” I heard the yell of a new warrior who was trying to be brave as he raced toward me with every aggressiveness he could offer. He got to me but just as he swung his blow for my head, I bent down and swept him off his feet with my hand grabbing his leg. I held him up in the air and growled at the rest of them so that they trembl
{Ciril’s POV} “Woah.”“Oh my...”Those, among several others, were the comments from Clord and Feryt. It was a few hours past midday and the once-clear clouds had suddenly gone dark… because of me. I was raging as I focused my eyes on these very walls that had caged me with gloom and torment. I was heaving now and as a result, Clord and the others knew that the sky’s fury was my doing— a reflection of my grief and rage. It was thundering loudly now and the wind all around us was beginning to grow wilder. I reveled in the pending ChaosI was about to resume my trail towards the Palace but then a voice stopped me. “Ciril?” The voice said beside me now and I instantly veered my gaze to the side to see Feryt. She trembled slightly with my gaze.“What do we do now?” She asked me. She spoke loudly since the wind was getting more fierce by the second and crowding the silence as a result. The skies thundered again.“Stay here.” I said now with my scowl evident on my face. “Stay here until
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t say a word.I didn’t say a word to any of them. All I did was walk, trek, trudge— all of them. And this made us go faster.At the pace we were going, I calculated that we might actually get to the Palace in a day— or not. After some hours of my ignorance and my fast traveling, they stopped me.By they, I mean the democratic bunch— Feryt, Clord, and Gordius. Feryt was their leader or representative this time around and she crept before me to prevent me from moving forward.I scowled at her when she suddenly appeared before me. “Ciril, we need to talk.” She told me. I shifted to the side and slipped past her, continuing onwards but then she was stubborn so that she trailed after me and blocked my trail again.“Ciril, stop! Just stop and listen, okay?!” She said with a stern tone and was immediately joined by Gordius on her right and Clord on her left. As usual, Gordius was annoyingly confident with his old face while Clord looked frightened by me but then the
{Ciril’s POV} “What?”“What?”Anika and I said simultaneously.Her ‘What’ was the first one. I looked at her just as she looked at me, and then we both looked at Gordius who had initiated the confusion.“Oh, I’m going to like this.” Clord said as he sat down on the ground beside one of the Bears. It growled at him so he shifted away to a new position before refocusing his gaze upon us and smiling.I glared at him. “Stand up. I told you we’re not stopping yet.” I said to him and then I turned to Gordius.“For the last time, stop messing with me, Gordius.” I told him and then I looked between Feryt and Anika. “Let’s keep moving.” I said and then turned to continue on my way. “I’m not messing with you, Ciril.” I heard Gordius’ voice again. “This girl right here is the one who will train you.” I halted. And then I spun around and started trudging to him with my bashful intent— I clenched my fist tight. I was done hearing his voice so it was time to shut him up… since he didn’t want to
Chapter 145 {Ciril’s POV} Morning came, and with it a new creed.A vengeful one. I got up with my heart evidently beating— it knew today marked the beginning of something significant. Something chaotic.I sat outside on a log of wood in between the guards of both of my Bears. I sat there motionlessly and waited for the rest to wake up. And eventually, they did. After several minutes, they strolled out simultaneously to see me seated motionlessly with my eyes closed. I was now meditating. I hated the concept but then yesterday had made me realize that it was an important concept and that Gordius was right. My emotions were controlling me and I needed to work on making it the other way round. I need to be the one in control. But then at the end of the day, I didn’t really care that I was being ruled by my emotions since I could still kill my enemies in that State. I only cared now because I didn’t want anything to jinx my fighting over at the Palace since Gordius said that meditati
{Ciril’s POV} I touched the twin half-love-shaped metal bracelets on my wrist now Erin just gave me the most shocking but relieving news.The Hencher Mistress was alive. All this time I had just been hoping— praying that she hadn’t died that day, but then over time, realization started to sink in and I started to welcome the fact that I may have lost her.— since I had recalled how fatal-looking the wound on her belly was, plus she had betrayed the Palace by helping me and I had left her in the hands of those wretches. All these conditions put together didn’t seem like a combination that the Hencher Mistress would survive in her condition and so I had spent frequent nights crying about it and hating myself for leaving her can there that day. … but now it turns out that I had concluded wrongly. All this while, I had grieved and beaten myself up in vain for the Hencher Mistress was alive.My mother was alive.Fresh tears glossed up my eyes now and Anika and the others noticed this a
{Ciril’s POV} “Why?”“What do you mean?”Anika had stopped me with her words and I was staring at her now, wondering why she was asking to go back to the same dreadful place she had just escaped from.“I mean that we have to return to the Palace because it will be a dire matter if we don’t.” She said now, confusing me the more. Clord, Gordius, and Feryt shifted back to our axis now, seeing that we were not trailing after them anymore.“What’s going on?” Feryt asked and I turned to look at her from my dazement. “She says we have to return to the Palace.” I said, still in confusion.“Wait. What?” Clord said now, stepping forward. “You’re joking, right?” He asked her with an odd laugh and when she didn’t respond, he turned to me.“She’s… she’s joking, right?”I returned my attention back to Anika now. “What’s your reason? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Anika.” I said to her now. “What dire matter are you referring to?”I spoke rather calmly now, and I did so because I didn’t wan
{Ciril’s POV} “Ciril, is that you?”I heard Anika’s voice and almost couldn’t believe it was her voice. It had been so long since I heard her speak.All of us were shocked by her sudden consciousness as we had really lost all hope. I had already lost hope.— all of us had lost hope except Gordius. He didn’t look shocked, and this was because he had trusted his words to the final minute, unlike the rest of us. The rest of us stopped believing him when hours were slipping past and Anika wasn’t responding. But then again, you can’t blame us for not buying his words. I personally had a beef with him and feel like he just says anything he wants to say. I focused my attention on Anika now as she slowly grew back her consciousness.“It’s me, Anika. I’m.. I’m here.” I told her softly now and she blinked before thoroughly focusing her gaze on me.With our eye contact, the roles switched— as she was the one who looked shocked now. She gazed at my face for a while and I noticed that she was
Chapter 142{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t understand what had just happened. One second, I was raging at Gordius for chewing loudly, and then the next, I was shocked from spotting a figure that bore an oddly familiar face. Anika.I didn’t know where she had appeared from and I didn’t know how she had found me, but then these questions weren’t important now. Anika was wounded and unconscious and so the question bobbing in my head as I rushed towards her was, “What I was going to do?”I crashed on the ground beside her body and drew her into my embrace with my heart now racing fast. I didn’t know the answer to my question.I didn’t know what to do. I first had to accept the fact that she was truly here with me and once this fact had settled in, I started to shake her up roughly and call her name.— and while I did this, Gordius was just standing behind me and doing nothing. I noticed this. “What are you doing?!” I bawled at him now. “She’s dying! Go get help!” I roared at him as tears gl
