And Ciril is making progress… But then it looks like the Alpha Queen and her army have made progress also… See yA!
{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} 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} 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} 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} 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} 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} 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
{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} [TRIGGER WARNING: This Chapter might be a bit too violent and Gory… maybe.]The night was here and the crescent moon lit up the skies— along with the fairly numerous Palace lights.The wind was in the air and there were random cries of agony being heard. And I felt good.I had three hands with me instead of two and it felt amazing. Dolores's hand was in my grip and I stared at her now as she cried in pain. It felt so satisfying knowing that I was with the body part she once-upon-a-time used to smack me, pull my hair, punch me in the face, and so on.Just this body part— her hand, had caused me so much pain and tears at nights when I would go to bed bleeding, and now I looked at it with such amusement seeing that it had been this fragile all along.“You’ll.. you’ll suffer for this!” Ivanka yelled at my face now as she poured out heavy pants before me. I took my gaze off Dolores’s hand and looked at her.“You’ll pay if you hurt her or me!” Her voice came out even louder
{Ciril’s POV} I lunged at the Alpha Queen, wanting to grasp her and begin her own sequence of torture but then these idiots jumped in the way. These weak idiots who swore their loyalties to her. Her warriors.In her defense, a whole lot of them stormed at me even though it was pretty obvious they didn’t want to. They were scared but did it nonetheless and I saw it as bravery.I was impressed by it but then I was going to teach them a lesson for it.I bashed some bodies to the ground with two arm swings now and then I growled as more warriors came at me meanwhile the Alpha Queen was escaping. She ran further away towards the Alpha building. I hadn’t thought this through. I had wanted to scourge the Alpha Queen but then I had forgotten that I was greatly outnumbered and would have to kill my way through.Well, I’m not complaining.Killing has recently become my new and persistent hobby. The warriors surrounded me now and were spread out over a great distance, and taking in the sight
{Ciril’s POV} “Hi.”You know, I once quivered anytime I spoke to the Alpha Queen or Ivanka or any other esteemed bitch in this Palace… but now?I’ve never felt so confident. It felt amazing knowing that they dreaded my presence and not the other way around. It was a really incredible feeling. It felt amazing seeing Ivanka, the same vile Cunt that always reigned her devilry and aggressiveness upon me— it felt amazing seeing her tremble before me now.One word, “Hi” and I felt all their pulses rise. I decided to be as slow as possible in order to enjoy the moment to the fullest. I decided to take my time.— go to them one by one.I rested my gaze on Ivanka now, and I smirked. My first specimen. She was scowling at me and breathing heavily in her attempt to hide her uneasiness. She looked stupid. I wished I could tell her that. Oh, wait. I could.“Hi, Ivanka. You look stupid.” I said now and she tensed at me addressing her before she scowled.“You think being the Champion means an
{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 tremble
{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
