And there you have it. Landon’s POV. And to answer your question, Petrina; Yes, they will get back together (maybe— lol) but brace yourselves because there will be a lot of hardship in between. There are so many enemies and someone might get influenced… lol… See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}I was whipped… and I was whipped brutally— Taka made sure of that. The back of my dress was torn from the impact of the beating I had received and I could feel myself bleeding without needing to see my blood to confirm. I staggered up to my feet now and then I fell back to the ground.I was weak, but I made sure to hug my dress to my body because if I didn’t, I would go naked as the dress would slip off my body since it was ruggedly torn now. I tried standing up again and I had the eyes of Taka and the other spectators on me. They were ready to laugh at me like how they had done the first time I had fallen.I was breathing hard from crying so loudly in pain and so I took in a deep breath now and struggled up to my feet. Because they were ready to laugh, I made it my mission to stand up successfully. And I did… even though I stumbled a bit. But then, just as I rested on my feet, I felt someone’s foot on my back which sent me back to the ground almost immediately. I fe
{Ciril’s POV}[ ~ One Week Later ~ ]I was in the stables. It was noontime and I was lying there. This was my new room. I preferred to lie on a bunch of Hay than to lie in mud like my tormentors had proposed so I had found my way to the stables to become housemates with the horses.One week ago, I had seen Abasha get marked by Prince Landon and I had aggressively started walking towards them but hadn’t made it to them. I had been seized by Sentries before I even got close… but then Prince Landon had started walking to me, wanting to give me an audience. He had seen how badly I wanted to speak my mind and he had been willing to grant me an audience even though he had been scowling at me like I was a Feral and not a living werewolf.So, he had made his way towards me, but then there was Abasha— as if she would let Prince Landon see me.Abasha had interfered as I had dreaded her to do. She had interfered by pulling Prince Landon back, begging him not to see me, and eventually taking him
{Ciril’s POV}The Guirgon Full Moon was just three weeks away now. I was uninterested in its rubbish tales of power and destiny but I knew about its coming because literally everyone in the Palace was freaking talking about it. The fighting Pit tournament had provided enough exposure for the Guirgon Full moon so now it was the most trending topic.Everyone was yapping about it and the people were particularly excited because they knew who their Champion was going to be. Prince Landon.According to the stories I’ve been hearing, he had been destined from birth to birth to be the one to receive the Moon goddess’s soul and essence, as the moon goddess always chooses her Champions from the Royal family— the bloodline of Kings. Why?I don’t know.I’ve said all I know on this topic. “Wow. I think we should attend the orientation today.” Anika told me as we strolled through a pathway in the Common Grounds. I was sent to go get some herbs The Common Grounds was the train of settlements— b
{Ciril’s POV}We made eye contact.After so long, I was once again staring into Prince Landon’s electric blue eyes. They showcased warmth and gentleness as they always did. And I missed staring into them.He soon looked away from me as the people trailing around started to creep up to him to greet him. He responded to their greetings with a gentle smile on his lips. It was obvious that he hadn’t come here for me. And I wasn’t crazy not to know this. I also knew that he was no longer in love with me. He was fully mated to Abasha now and as her mate he was bound to start loving her even though he didn’t before, and I wasn’t blind not to admit this to myself even though it hurt me. But then over these past few days, Prince Landon has been lenient on me. He seems to have lost interest in tormenting me as he said he would as now, he had handed that duty fully over to Ivanka.And even though Ivanka still does her best to make my life as wretched as she can despite her loss of interest in
{Ciril’s POV}“Okay.” He said and that word made me intensely uneasy. It was a harmless word but then it made me nervy because it meant that he was finally paying attention to me— and because it had been long since he had done that, it was I stared at the ground now as I tried to arrange my words right. I didn’t want to mess this up. I didn’t want to say the wrong things. “How.. how have you been?” I asked as I looked back up at him. I struggled to maintain eye contact as he had a frown on his face. Nonetheless, I kept looking at him.“What do you think?! How do you think someone should feel after their father gets killed?!” He asked me, taking offense at once. “You have guts talking to me.” He told me harshly and I sighed, driving my gaze away from him.He was still very angry. His anger hadn’t subsided. It was a warning label for me to leave before things could get even worse, but then I didn’t want to. I had an agenda I needed to carry out. I looked back up at him and momenta
{Ciril’s POV}[ ~ Three Days Later ~ ]It felt like the days were jumping by.And for some reason, it felt like the burden on me was getting lighter as the days went. And finally, it felt like I was making improvements with Prince Landon. Just three days ago, I had met him in the fields, after the Guirgon Moon Orientation and I had discovered something after making a couple of risky interrogations. He didn’t hate me so much as to want to inflict physical pain on me. This meant something.Right?I had felt like it meant something but then I wasn’t sure. But then, just yesterday, I had confirmed that that instance had meant something as Prince Landon had asked for my audience in the courtyard. After I had gone to meet him there, he had told me that he wanted me to be one of the maids serving at the Banquet the next day— today. Princess Anita was being celebrated for graduating to Stage 3 of her Princess training— whatever that meant, and Prince Landon had asked me to abandon my dai
{Ivanka’s POV}Today is the day…I was walking towards the Banquet Hall now and I loved how my dress was fitted perfectly on my figure. My body was something Prince Landon would fancy a lot once he’s finally mine.I turned to one of my handmaids now. “My ass is getting fatter, isn’t it?” I asked her and she stuttered. The idiot stuttered. “I.. uhm. It’s-it’s re…”I sighed. “Leave!” I yelled at her. “Get out of my sight!”The idiot immediately left the line and I turned to another. She trembled before I even started speaking but then she impressed me by responding without stuttering. “My ass is getting fatter isn’t it?” I asked.“Yes, Mistress. It is.” She said immediately and I smiled as I turned back ahead. My ass and my entire body would belong to the Prince once I get rid of that menace called Abasha. Today is the day…Today is the day I get rid of her by poisoning her wine cup. Abasha thinks she is all wise and invincible but let’s test how invincible she is when she cooks to d
{Ciril’s POV}I stayed. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing here but I stayed on the Seer’s request and continued my serving duties as a maid.The attention on me persisted for a moment before everyone slowly continued what they were doing— eating and chattering. The Banquet and feast continued as they continued celebrating Princess Anita and I made it a caution of mine not to go near the Royal table until the function ended. Two people glared at me while the process continued; The Headmaid, which was a minor glare compared to Ivanka's glare. Ivanka was literally scowling at me and it intensified anytime I shifted towards her axis. I wondered why. I had only spilled her wine— and I had spilled it on Abasha who wasn’t even at me as Ivanka was doing.Maybe she’s a wine lover now?Nonetheless, it was the warning label I needed to keep off that zone. The last thing I wanted to do was to embarrass and put myself in that ridiculing spotlight again. I paced around for several more
{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 l
{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
