Kai’s POV

“Are you so uptight and serious that you’ve never smoked a blunt?” I shook my head at Levi in disbelief as I watched him cough like a fool after one drag.

“I drink sir,” His voice was strained as he passed the blunt back to me sheepishly.

“Two drops of liquor per occasion, like that fucking counts as drinking” I teased him as I retrieved it and took a puff.

Naturally, I had no business talking to anyone beneath me casually, but while I was high the world was floating and the concept of equality seemed worth respecting in those moments, so I talked to anyone and everyone as casually as I could afford to.

“Only because I'm working during occasions, sir” Levi watched me closely as I smoked, trying to learn how I managed to do it so he wouldn't embarrass himself again.

“You’re a warrior Levi, you should learn to function while intoxicated, if possible you should function better then” My hands tingled as I stretched an arm out to ash the blunt, that's how I knew I was really fuck

    Kai’s POVIt’d been ninety six hours since I last set eyes on Cora; four miserable days.No matter how badly I wanted to know how she was doing, I couldn't bring myself to visit the infirmary knowing that she was lying half-dead on a bed and struggling to stay alive. Every now and then I’d taken trips there with a determination to check on her but each time I reached the door, I’d feel like my feet had been planted in the ground and I couldn't go any further.Countless times I’d ended up turning back and going to the physician’s office instead to get feedback on her well-being, and each time I was torn apart when I learned that she was still unconscious.To combat my worry, I’d buried myself in a mountain of work, I’d even relieved Leila and Levi of most of their administrative duties just because I wanted to remain sane by focusing on anything other than Cora most of the time.However, that objective was countered by the fact that some of the work I’d been invested in also had to wit

    Kai’s POVCautiously, I held unto the one door I’d been unable to walk through for the past few days and tried to mask my relief as I stepped foot into the room. Cora’s eyes were glinting mischievously as she watched me, like she was already up to no good within minutes of recovering consciousness, but if she wasn't a stubborn ass, she wasn't really herself yeah?“The maid, who is she?” I asked as my eyes landed on the same maid that’d come to ask for help, she was fast asleep on the couch, curled into a ball and buried almost all the way under a duvet.In fact, now that I'm getting a much better look at her when she isn't screaming out in distress, she also seems to be the same maid that’d barged into my meeting with the elders when Cora was captured by some drunk guards and dragged into the woods.Who was she? Why’d she care so much about a nut-job like Cora?The prettiest nut-job you’ve ever seen, though. My wolf chimed in and I had to strongly resist the urge to roll my eyes into

    Cora’s POVIt’d been almost two weeks since I was discharged from the infirmary and not a word had been spoken between myself and Kai about the kiss we’d shared. I was even temporarily relieved of my duties that required me to clean his room thrice a week, and I knew that it was because he was intentionally avoiding me.The kiss, it was…. I'm not sure there’s a suitable description for it, but it was like being welded into all the dark things about him that strangely appealed to me. It felt like he was gently incorporating me into the dark side and it was the most beautiful welcome one could possibly receive.For most of the time my head was completely blank and I’d thrown logic out the window but my heart was full, full of all the wonderful sparks that he was igniting as well as the butterflies that’d fluttered past it from the depths of my belly.It was a wonder to me how something could be so dark yet so pure, so utterly fulfilling.There were no adequate words for how wrong it was

    Cora’s POVThe second our eyes locked, the archer took to their heels and ran off towards the palace fence and jumped over it expertly, completely disappearing from my sight. I didn't know what to do, I was torn between tending to Kai’s wounds as a means of repaying the debts I’d stacked up or going after the archer and ripping his/her throat out on his behalf—also in a bid to pay my debt.Or that’s what you’d like to believe is your motive. I shoved my wolf’s voice to the curb the moment she questioned the root of my intentions.However, I couldn't deny that there was something incredibly sickening about seeing Kai hurt by someone else. He was my arch enemy, mine to hurt, mine to torment, mine to frustrate, mine to kill and no one else’s.It was nothing but that, nothing other than sheer rivalry.“I’ll pull this out for you now,” I knelt at his side and curved my fingers around the poisoned arrow, but as I tried to pull on it, my skin began to burn and I jerked away from him.“It’s s

    Cora’s POVI didn't want to overthink things and then jinx everything, but it was fucking hard not to. I kept wondering who the damned shadow was even though I should’ve just taken his/her presence as a sign that the moon goddess was finally on my side. Deep down, all I was really interested in was his/her identity but I had absolutely no clue and it was killing me.I hated being in the dark.My heart was thumping with an unusual surge of adrenaline as I walked back into the palace gates, nothing made sense, yet so much was finally coming together for me. While it was a plus to my mission to have a partner as fierce and as fearless as myself, I wasn’t sure if I could trust a person that would keep their identity a secret from me just to protect themselves in case things went south.Who’s to say that I be wouldn't implicated when push came to shove?Still, I didn't want to turn down an offering of help, especially when I was already battling feelings that I had no business feeling for

    POVI was burning with rage, a much worse rage than what I’d felt when I learned that Kai and Levi had swooped in to save Cora. That was the closest I’d come killing her and they’d fucking ruined it, not knowing that we’d all be better off without her, that her life meant nothing and we deserved to go on living without her irritating presence in the palace.“Miss your tea is rea—”I swung around swiftly and slapped the maid that’d interrupted my thoughts so hard that she’d fallen to the floor with the saucer and tea cup she was holding. The shattering sound of the ceramics pissed me off even further and I kicked her on the floor.“Get your filthy body off my damn floor and clean this off!” I hissed angrily and kicked her again, much harder this time around.Much to my annoyance she remained on the floor and glared at me like she was anything more than a worthless piece of property with blood flowing through her veins.“Why the fuck are you still lying there like an invalid!?” I return

    Cora’s POVMy head was banging and I couldn't remember shit.But there was a lot of loud howling around me that’d woken me up from the worst nap I’d ever had, everything fucking hurt and I was nothing but confused about how I’d fallen asleep in the middle of a shift.And then the howling got louder and louder, drawing me closer and closer to the shitty reality that awaited me. Still, believe it or not, when I’d first heard the howls, I’d assumed that it was from my dreams, it was easier to believe that.Even now as I stirred awake and felt hundreds of eyes on me, I was so scared to open my eyes, so terrified of whatever awaited me. But one thing about me? I’d face the worst situations head on before I show any sign of weakness, always.So I decided to count to three and them jump on my feet to attack.One, tw—“What the hell!?” I shrieked as I got interrupted by my dress being ripped, and of course my eyes flew open.Nothing under the earth or above it could’ve prepared me for the sig

As I dropped Cora and took another look at how badly she was hurt again, I felt like crossing the gates of hell to find those rogue bastards and kill them all over again.My body was pulsing with a level of protectiveness towards her that I’d never experienced before, I wanted to make the person who’d locked her up in that dungeon pay with every single drop of blood in their system.Nobody touches Cora, nobody!“Why the hell are you standing there like an invalid instead of attending to her!?” I shoved Leila toward the bed angrily when I realized that she hadn't started tending to Cora.“I was waiti—”“I don’t want to fucking hear it, treat her now!” I was short of breath as I yelled at her, I felt so fucking helpless and I hated it.“Y–yes sir” Leila opened her kit quickly and began to mix her potions.I was antsy the entire time, pacing up and down the room and running my hands

    Cora’s POV“Bitch, if you don’t get back in there!” Nina caught me just before I could sneak out to Kai’s chambers. “Man, you’re such a cockblocker,” I blew a raspberry at her and rolled my eyes in annoyance before stepping back into the room. “It’s bad luck for the groom to see his bride while she’s fully dressed and you know it,” she entered right after me. Maybe If I’d snuck out the second after she left I’d have met up with Kai for a quickie and I’d be back before she could come and spew rubbish myths to keep me away from him. “That’s a myth and whoever came up with it is clearly a hater!” I sunk into my chair, fully dressed in the most stunning wedding dress I’d ever seen all my life. “I’ll let you get away with that only because it’s your wedding day,” Nina chucked a purple flower in her hair to match her chief bridesmaid’s dress. “It’s my wedding day!” I squealed so loudly that Nina had to use both palms to block her eyes while smiling at me. I still couldn’t believe it.

I’d never have grown to love or trust a man that could betray someone he’d sworn an oath of eternal loyalty to, it just meant that you could switch up on me someday too,” she surprised me by intertwining her fingers with my bloody ones as she spoke.“I could never ever betray you, Cora. You’re my fated true love, and it’s not too late to leave this deceitful monster and save me,” my blood began to boil all over again as I watched him plead with her.I gave him one fatal blow to the jaw and he dropped to the floor groaning.“Stop fucking talking to her, you dead meat!”

    Levi’s POVIt was today.The day I’d watch Kai meet an embarrassing end just before all of his power was transferred to my deserving arms. The gods knew that I would’ve been better suited to be blessed with his boundless abilities and fate had finally turned things in my favor.“Are you prepared for the ritual?” I practically whispered as I bent towards the elderly men that were meant to perform the soul swapping ritual.They dropped their hoods at the same time and nodded in a slow synchronized movement, “As prepared as the gods permits their servants to be.”Creepily, that was also said in unison before the covered their hoods again in one swift motion and walked off towards the lifted stage where Kai’s body would be placed for the public execution. As weird and disturbing as their identical movements were, it didn’t deplete my excitement about the execution ceremony.“Welcome all,” I stood to my feet as I began to address the hundreds of people in attendance.“You have come from lan

    Levi’s POVI knocked on Cora’s door again when I didn’t get a response.“It’s me Levi, are you in?” I called out.A few seconds passed and then I heard a door open that signified that she must’ve been in the bathroom when I knocked earlier.“I’ll be right there, give me a minute,” her sweet voice called out and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me.I tapped my feet on the floor as I waited for her, and then finally she pulled the door open.“You wanna come in?” she moved aside as she pulled the door open.Her hair looked a bit wet, her cheeks were glistening like they’d been oiled and she was wearing the most adorable little pink dress paired with white cute flats. Even before now, I was always eager to see what she’d wear every single day, but it was more fulfilling now because she was all mine to ogle.“Nah, there’s something I have to show you,” I grabbed her wrist and began leading her away from the room.“You mind telling me where we’re headed?” she finally asked after we’d ta

    Levi’s POV“Has she gotten the bouquets?” I asked the maid that I’d sent on an errand earlier.“Yes, sir. I delivered them first thing in the morning,” she answered with a bow and I waved her off.The morning of the day we’d overpowered Kai, I remembered watching him gather flowers after he’d thought I left on a tax collecting trip. I watched him make them into a huge bouquet and I was pretty irritated that he thought flimsy flowers would fix all the damage he’d done to Cora when he regarded her as an enemy.However, it had given me a brilliant Idea.I decided that I’d send a bouquet or more to Cora’s room every morning with a heart warming note just to remind her of how precious she was to me. She never failed to thank me for it at breakfast and it made my heart swell. I loved that I’d finally gotten the chance to woo her and I knew I’d do a far better job than Kai could ever have.Speaking of that monster, Kai, I was skipping breakfast to go and see him in the dungeon, to see how muc

    Cora’s POVI woke up in a pool of my own sweat.My eyes searched the room to see if the beast in my dreams had crossed into reality by some chance for an opportunity to continue torturing me, but I was lucky that that hadn't happened. The only other person in the room was Nina, not a grizzly monster.She was curled up into a ball on her mattress and she was buried so far into the duvet that I could only see her eyes and a bit of her forehead. And yes, she was crashing here because of the nightmares.The same horrid nightmares that had been recurring for a while now.After the first two nights, I’d told Nina about it because she noticed the heavy eye bags underneath my eyes and then she’d scolded me for not speaking up earlier before gathering most of her things and moving into my room.Oh, trust me, I protested. I assured her that it wouldn't happen again, but she gave me the ‘this isn't up for debate’ look and did as she pleased.Carefully, I moved off the bed and walked over to sit a

    Kai’s POVI could smell her, so I knew she was near.Her scent was refreshing and intoxicating and I wished I could drown myself in it one last time, just once. I knew I looked like absolute crap but I was still eager to see her, to look at her and search her eyes for any feelings of remorse, to find out if the memories we shared meant anything to her.As much as my determination to kill Levi for betraying me was one of my driving forces for staying alive, the primary reason that I hadn't let my spirit break was because I was desperate to see Cora again.Delusions aside, I was ready to break my chains and make things right with her.I tuned my ears to the sounds of her footsteps as she neared, heels clacking on the cemented hallway she was walking down to reach the torture dungeon.One might tag me as a helpless fool, but I felt a tad excited to gaze upon her stunning face again.“You look like shit,” was the first thing that left her lipstick clad lips as she pulled the door of the d

    As I walked behind her toward the dining hall, I couldn't help but admire every single detail that was in my view.Her body was clad tightly in a lovely purple dress—a color that signified royalty which was what she’d finally become now that Kai was put away— that made my insides ache as her full hips swayed in it, her legs were being carried in black heels that made her look elegant, and her hands were accessorized with pure golden bangles that matched the necklace she was wearing.The only thing that was out of place was the crystal bracelet that rested in between the golden bangles, but that didn't matter.All that mattered was that she’d dressed up for me.I remember how incredibly jealous I usually felt whenever she dressed up for Kai, especially because she was always so gorgeous and she still treated her like bird poop. I’d never make her feel that way, how could I even dare?“Have I mentioned how stunning you look tonight, Cora?” I asked as we finally stepped into the dining h

    Levi’s POVKai’s face? Priceless.The mere fact that he’d been cocky enough to assume that I’d be blindly loyal to him despite how much of a monster he was made it glaringly obvious that he was nothing but a muscled idiot. So, seeing the shock on his face when he realized that I’d betrayed him was far more rewarding than I’d thought it’d be.Nothing could've prepared me for how powerful and satisfied I’d been when I saw him looking raggedy and helpless in chains.He’d brought his miserable fate upon himself and I was beyond pleased that the moon goddess had chosen me to put him in his place. I strongly believed that everything was set in stone on the very day that Kai had unintentionally exposed his weakness to me.I still recall that day like it was an hour ago.Kai had been drunk to stupor after our first major win, we’d conquered an army of almost a hundred and fifty thousand werewolves with an army of only two hundred werewolves.
