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} “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 compl
{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
{Ciril’s POV} It started to rain… and it took me a moment before I could register this.I was panting. I was panting hard.And then I was raging. Nothing was happening anymore but I had a sea of anger bubbling within me. The water started to splatter on my skin now and I threw my gaze up to glare at the skies like I wanted to attack it… but then I realized that it was just rain so I calmed down, and then I sighed.I poured out a heavy breath and stared at my body as the rain started beating me more furiously, washing all the blood that bathed my skin and clothes. I was still heaving and my claws were still out, but soon, with the chill of the rain, I calmed down and my eyes went back to normal. I blinked. I looked away from my claws now as I retracted them and I looked up to see all the dead bodies of Ferals before me— presented as disintegrated rotten flesh, splattered at random points on the ground.I drove my eyes about the scene as I took the sight in and then I heard voices s
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t want to go… but I had to.People were in danger. And even if I wasn’t the Reignile Champion, going to help people in distress was the right thing to do, so this was the reason why I got up.Clord?Closed felt like he had no reason to go. He was strictly hesitant until Feryt poured on him one of her death glares and threatened to come to him. And so now, we were all darting through the woods, being led by Rowan towards the Pack in question. As we drew close, I started to hear screams that made my heart quicken its pace at once as I realized how serious the situation was.We took some turns and soon the Pack came into view. My heart…I saw people racing helter-skelter and then I saw some other people dead so that I tensed in fear. Clord, Rowan, and Feryt were several paces before me now as when I had caught sight of the scene, I had slowed down and started pacing slowly instead.I was overwhelmed with the sight.I knew I was to do something to help but at the s
{Ciril’s POV} I saw Abasha and I instantly trembled. She was someone I would never expect to see out here, but there she was standing at a fair distance away from us, smiling. My heart started to race…… and all the traumatizing memories of my doleful past started to come back to me.Fear claimed me.— Its chilly claws seized my lungs as I stared at her instead of helping Feryt or checking how badly she was injured. She rose up to a sitting position some seconds later before I realized that I had totally forgotten about her. “Feryt. Are you okay?” I promptly asked her now, forcing my gaze away from Abasha but still conscious of her presence.“I’m not.” Feryt complained while I helped her up, my eyes now back to monitoring Abasha. I didn't pay attention to what Feryt had just said and I ended up letting her go untimely as my entire focus was on Abasha. I had a scowl on as I stared at her but then my heart was really racing fast. Abasha soon noticed this as she stood defensively b
{Ciril’s POV} ~ The Next Day ~ A little recap from yesterday’s emotions hunt around RawHowl…Once I got into the Alpha Mansion, I tore it down.-End Of Recap-Sigh…Yesterday's events had put me through a lot.The first day we had come here to RawHowl, I hadn’t experienced any emotion that disconcerted me but then yesterday, as we started to go deeper and towards the more sensitive parts of RawHowl, things started to get more twitchy… and when we had gone to the Alpha Mansion, I had exploded.Literally. I had told Rowan that the Alpha Mansion was the most sensitive place to me and I had been right. I had been breathing crazily fast and waves of anger had stormed me once I stepped foot into the wretched place.And now, it was crumbled to the ground— All 10,000 square feet of it battered to dust. In addition, I had almost killed Rowan, Feryt, and Clord in my raging. I had almost buried them along with everything else in the Mansion but fortunately, the three of them had managed to es
{Ciril’s POV} Tears bathed my eyeballs as we went around RawHowl to see how broken and destroyed it was.This was the second day of doing this. We had gone around yesterday, and nothing in me was triggered so Feryt decided that we went around today also. And now we were doing just that. We were going deeper into the heart of RawHowl, towards the area where the Aloha Mansion was situated. And as we went now, something was beginning to happen. — while the others saw how broken down RawHowl was… I only saw how much it broke me.I was getting flashes from every angle and they scourging my being. If I didn’t know Feryt as a good friend from my childhood days, I would have definitely misinterpreted things and thought that she purposely brought me here to scourge and punish me.I was pushed to the back of the line now as I was walking slower than the rest of them. I didn’t want to do this.RawHowl was torn down by the Ferals— it was turned into a ruin due to the Feral’s rough and Britis
{Ciril’s POV} ~ Two Days Later ~ “What are you guys doing?” I asked as I came out of the cave to see Clord, Rowan, and Feryt chattering around the sitting wood blocks. It was morning time and I was apparently the last one to wake up from sleep. Even the Bears were up before me. Did I mention that those two Bears were now staying with us?Yeah. For some strange reason, they hadn’t left us since they followed us back to the Cave two days and for some stranger reason, they were now acting like pets rather than the Ferocious beastly creatures they were— especially to me. They were very drawn to me.“Nothing serious.” Feryt responded now as she got up to her feet to face me. “Clord was just explaining the details of how he thinks we could get you to enter your Glowing State.” She explained while I brushed my fingers through the dense but smooth furs of the Bears as they both strolled before me in a form of greeting. They rubbed their bodies on me as they went by before going to lie arou
{Ciril’s POV} “Feryt?” I muttered, not believing my eyes.And then my eyes told my brain that I was in a new environment so I proceeded to not believing my brain also.I grew very confused.I impulsively looked to my left now and saw Clord and Rowan standing there and looking at me in a weird way. That was strange and disturbing but then I looked to my left to meet an even more disturbing sight. Bears…Two Bears were positioned there.Two mighty black Bears— not attacking but just snarling and staring at me. It was all they did but it was all I needed to be more jumbled up.I didn’t understand this scene in the slightest and to make it even more confusing, standing before me was the person of someone I doubted I would ever get to see ever again.“Feryt?” I said her name again, contemplating if she was real, and with that, she started to pace closer to me with tears in her eyes and a matching expression of doubt and confusion. Instantaneously, she looked fearfully to the side where the
