The last chapter, Chapter 64, was quite controversial to some people as some of you showed your distaste. But I went to let you understand that most good stories have their Comedic reliefs and I just had to add one to mine. I don’t just introduce a character because I want to. I do it because it’s important in the plot’s development. Anyway, The Full moon drawing close fast but Ciril isn’t out of the woods yet… See yA!
{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}[ ~ Two Days Later ~ ]If I say misfortune is after my life, I mean it.Misfortune is after me.Unlike Prince Landon, my fate and destiny are hateful towards me. I don’t get to become the Queen of the Reigns or have the moon goddess give me a chunk of her soul to make me powerful.I am destined to keep suffering and suffering. — Ivanka catching me smiling at Prince Landon was proof of this fact. My fate literally made her appear from nowhere just so I could be more wretched. But now, two days later, something weird was happening. Ivanka hadn’t done anything cruel to me yet. I mean, she hasn’t punished me more, attacked me physically, or said anything harsh to me. She hasn’t reacted in any brutal way towards me.It was as if she had seen that instance with me and Prince Landon and had chosen to ignore it. It scared me now, but then I was elated that she hadn’t done anything to me. Maybe she realized that I’m no longer a hindrance in her mission to gain the Prince no
{Ciril’s POV}“I, Anika Ensayva, am a witness to that crime, Your Majesty.”I was breathing hard.I didn’t understand what was going on in the slightest.In fact, what I had heard from Anika’s mouth threatened to make me go nuts. It was so sudden and random that It made no sense.I was confused and I stared at her in disbelief now. She still avoided my gaze. “I didn’t say the truth all this while because I was scared of what she would do to me. But now I’ve come out to say because I don’t want her to hurt anyone else!” Anika added and then she finally looked at me with a scowl on her face.“She’s evil!” She roared at me with her finger arrowed in my direction. I trembled. I was stunned with shock and this made tears gloss up my eyes now.Anika... What are you saying?“Is this some sort of joke? Friend betraying friend?” The Alpha Queen chortled now. Although she sounded amused, she looked confused by the randomness of this instance and I looked at her to see the confusion plus the h
{Ciril’s POV}I had just two weeks. I had just two weeks and some days left to live. Yesterday had taken a turn that I never believed that I would ever experience, and even now that I’m hunger-stricken, shackled, and stained with dirt, I still didn’t believe that what had happened had happened. I still didn’t believe that Anika could betray me like that. I still didn’t believe that she had said all those things she had said naturally. I was emotionally bruised by that instance but I held onto the hope that there was an explanation waiting for me somewhere.I was in the Dungeons now, and in the same cell I had once visited. Prince Landon had instructed that I be kept here during the night and dragged around in chains during the day as I did my duties— which would be times two of what I did before. Because of Anika, Prince Landon now truly believed that I killed the King hence the chains. He seemingly doesn’t want me to kill anyone else. Meanwhile, I had never even taken a life in
{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
