It’s about to go down. Don’t fall off your seats and do hold your popcorn bowls tightly, guys because the moment you have all been waiting for is just one chapter away… See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}I saw the Hencher Mistress claws out for the first time ever.I had never seen her looking so aggressive.I had never seen her so enraged. The hairs on her body rose and grew thicker as she shifted into her werewolf form and I stared at her with a mixture of dread and shock.I started to hear a loud banging sound now. Taka and his cronies were attempting to kick the door down.I trembled back in reaction but the Hencher Mistress stood her ground as we both stared at the door that was slowly budging to their brutish nudges. I could see the hinges of the door gradually giving in to their physical demands as they started to pull out from the walls and the way my breath grew very heavy in that moment was agonizing.Breathing almost felt painful now. Several kicks were being dumped on the door and all the structural reinforcements the Hencher Mistress had made were slowly giving out and I didn’t know what to think or do.I only knew that death wasn’t far away from me now. I
{Prince Landon’s POV}~ Few Minutes Earlier ~ Everything was ready.The scene was set and everyone was here to witness my magnification by the moon goddess. Everything was perfect. Although I didn’t understand what happened with the whirlwind and sandstorm that had attacked the Palace earlier, but then it had calmed down while I trailed about the Palace and performed the Guirgon rituals with the Half elders. Without that ritual, I wouldn’t be able to earn and receive the moon goddess’s soul so I had done it with the half elders earlier during which the whirlwind calmed its currents, making my entrance into the Revel Hall more divine. There was no other proof I needed to know that I was definitely the destined vessel of the moon goddess and the candidate for the Guirgon full moon. This had made me really confident in myself but while we waited now, my confidence sprouted a bit of a scuffle.My mother wanted Ciril’s head to be brought here to the Hall as a gift from the congregation
{Princess Anne’s POV} The lucent light left the Revel Hall and all its vile bodies behind.I was outside the Hall and I felt its presence before it passed me by.I was blind but I could see it with my senses.The Prophecy from years ago was finally about to come to pass..The light left my axis and then it trailed through the Palace grounds directly over the heads of people around— not interacting with them but claiming their attention as no one could resist not looking at the bright and beautiful glow that was traveling the night sky. This glow was the Moon goddess spirit and although she was just in the form of a light, she was very conscious of her movements and orientation. The moon goddess’s soul traveled through the stretch of the Palace until it got to a secluded room in one part of the Palace.Her vessel was in there..Her gentle soul hovered over that room for a moment and then, at its own timing, it entered and sank into the body of the one who she had Chosen right from th
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t really understand how I got outside the room but I raced back inside now. I raced back and crashed on the ground before the Hencher Mistress who was surrounded by a pool of her own blood. I held her face— her beautiful face, as she blinked almost unconsciously and I shook her up a bit so that she focused her gaze on me. She smiled. “Ciril.” She called my name gently and shook my head as more tears poured out of my eyes. “Are you okay? Please tell me you’re not dying…” I muttered as I stroked her cheeks and then I looked around to see all the bodies that littered the ground. “Tenn… he stabbed you.” I muttered as I recalled and then I looked at the knife that was still in her belly. It was buried deeper now and seeing that broke me. “Ciril.” She called me but I ignored her as I tried to lift her up. She groaned with my attempt so that I immediately left her and panicked the more.“I can’t let you die.” I shot you to my feet. “I’ll go and get help.” I sugges
Chapter 98 ~ {Prince Landon’s POV} I didn’t understand what had happened.One second it was here and the next, it was gone.The hall had flown up into a raucous mood but I remained calm as I tried to make meaning of what I had just witnessed.I didn’t want to believe that the moon goddess had rejected me.That can’t be a possibility.I was prophesied as the vessel. I was told to be the chosen one from my birth so there was no way that the moon goddess could have rejected me.— especially after coming so close to me.She was this close…There had to be an explanation. I turned and faced the elders once again and I watched them as they raced between one another, asking questions and seeking answers.I didn’t want to believe that they were confused too. I didn’t want to believe that they didn’t have an answer.I clenched my fists and then I crept down from the raised platform that had been built for me. I climbed down and then I stopped before the area where the elders were perched, c
{The Hencher Mistress’ POV} “It’s Anne. Can you tell a story— the story of how a mother had to give up her child for the greater good.”“You’re about to die and Ciril who is out there wandering through the forest needs to know about the beginning so make me the new narrator by telling me.” I heard those words and I understood. I had lost so much blood but then I could afford to tell the tale before my life quenched.I started…**[Flashback To 17 Years Ago]I have not always been the Hencher Mistress of the Palace…I once had a daughter and a sick husband. But then my husband died from his sickness. He had been a General in the Royal army, hence why I was a mistress, but then his sickness killed him. My daughter and I were left alone but then life was still good— I loved my daughter and lived for her and my responsibility in her life made the pain of losing my husband go away soon.And so life was good.I was one of the esteemed Mistresses of the Palace and I lived my life to the fu
{Prince Landon’s POV} We were in the Private Quarters. By we, I mean my mother, Abasha, Ivanka, Dylan, Anita, Balif, and some other guards. Weirdly, Anne was here too and I wondered what she was doing here since I had gotten used to her weird absence from our lives recently. But then I didn’t really care. Thinking of how strange Anne had become was the last thing on my mind. We were all together, and there was a momentary silence but then the uneasiness on everyone’s faces was screaming. There were also periodical bouts of outbursts.“How? How is this possible? It doesn’t make sense.”That was Abasha’s bout of outburst. “That slave doesn’t deserve it.” “Yes, you’re right. She must have done something to influence the process. She’s too wretched and filthy to be chosen! I mean, she’s a fucking slave!” That was Ivanka responding to Abasha. “This is bad, man. This is really bad” That was Dylan— standing before me and trying to get me into the conversation.I was seated on a woo
{Prince Landon’s POV} I was in my chambers now.Two days had passed and I hadn’t gone out. I was supposed to be out deploying scouting troops to go to distressed packs and help them with the Feral situation— especially now that they are growing in numbers, but I didn’t go. I didn’t feel like doing anything so I had instructed Dylan to take over that duty and similar ones for the time being, because…I was confused. I was disturbed.But I was mostly angry. I was angry at fate for doing this to me. It didn’t make sense to be angry at fate but then I couldn’t help it. I had to blame someone or something as I couldn’t blame myself. I was clean and ready on my part. I had made myself righteous for the moon goddess and she had freaking embarrassed me in front of the people of the Reigns— made a fool out of me. I slammed my fist on the stool next to me now. That was the fourth one I was breaking over the past two days. Thankfully, I had so many more stools in my Chambers. They were
{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
