Kai’s POV

I woke up with a slight headache at exactly 5am and the first thought that hit my mind was that of what I’d discussed with Leila before I was put to sleep. It annoyed me that I’d just woken up and I still couldn't catch a fucking break before my problems returned to torment me.

Still, I knew that if I didn't find a new reliable source of humanity to keep the curse from overpowering my entire being within the next four months, my problem’s status will switch from temporary to permanent and I’d be a mindless beast roaming in the wilderness whose only purpose is to kill you his fill.

While I loved the fear I stirred in people’s hearts because of the bloodlust the curse came with, I didn't want that to be essence for my living so I got off the bed and as I dressed up for my training session, I already began to brainstorm for a new source of humanity to preserve the balance within me.

A child? A pet? A charity project? A new pack? A generous donation? A wife?

    Cora’s POVThe oddest sound made me jolt awake.The sound of heavily beating drums seemed to be going off in my head and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where it was coming from. It was equally bothersome that Nina and the other maids were sleeping soundly and snoring peacefully like they couldn't hear anything, the drums were rowdy, irregular and unrhythmic and it slowly became annoying.My head was banging with every sound the drums and I soon sat up in bed to try and stabilize myself. I reached out for the jar of water that Nina always placed in between out beds and as I tried to pour some water into a glass my hands began to shake and the jar slipped and broke.It felt like I was losing control of my reflexes and I couldn't even pick up the cup and drink the little water I’d managed to pour before I started to feel weird shivers all over my body like ice had been injected into my veins. My hands flew around my sides and I wrapped myself tightly to shelf myself from the ch

    Cora’s POVBurn me? I can’t die at the stake because of a lousy allegation, and in such a shameful way to say the least.No.“Alpha Kai, kindly give me a little more time to ascertain if she's truly a witch because the moon goddess hasn't given me a clear indication just yet” The witch hunter pleaded with him on my behalf for some reason.“And why would I wait for that when you clearly implied that she was a witch because she heard the drums that even we who were present while you were chanting for in preparation for the trials didn't hear?” Kai was talking to him but his angry eyes were directed at me as they radiated his ruthless nature.“Because the moon goddess oversees this process and if an innocent is killed as a witch, she will lay an irreversible curse on me and the land upon which the blood of the innocent was shed” He told him in a somber voice and I could literally see the wheels turning in his head.“You have ten minutes to prove whether she's a witch or not or I’ll burn

    Cora’s POV I couldn't hear shit, just harsh whispers and angry breathing.However, I had a feeling that it was a conversation that I desperately needed to tune into because my guts indicated that it’d have something to do with the witch trial that I’d just suffered through so I tuned into my wolf’s hearing and I slowly began to make sense of their conversation.“I had a gut feeling that you were dead wrong but I chose to trust you anyways and look how things turned out” Kai hissed angrily through his teeth as he pinned Leila against the wall.“I'm so sorry, I could've sworn that I was right” Her words came out like whimpers as she looked anywhere but at him.“Well you weren't! Do you even have any idea what you cost me with this little rouse of yours? Do you!?” He barked at her and she shook her head fearfully in response.Can they speak in clearer words? Was this conversation about the witch trial or not because I needed to get back to bed.“You wasted a shitload of my resources and

    Kai’s POV I started to stir in my sleep, over and over.It seemed like something was drawing me out of my sleep, like someone was trying to mind-link me for some reason repeatedly but the link was extremely weak. I kept stirring and trying to ignore it because I really just wanted to sleep until I heard the call for help.“H—help, I'm dy—ing…” It was Leila’s voice and I’d never heard her in so much pain before.Immediately, I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room to search for her but apparently I didn't need to go too far because I spotted her under Cora just a few inches away from my room being punched to an unrecognizable pulp.It didn't look like Leila had any fight left in her and she barely had any life either from what I could see, so I sped over to Cora’s side and flung her across the hallway until her back slammed on the wall just across my room.“Leila, Leila, are you alive?” I shook her as I took in the horrible sight that she’d become and I couldn't help but wonder ho

    Kai’s POV I and Levi were going over the expenses of the palace for the last month carefully and he was writing off some extra expenses as per my request.“We had more liquor than we needed shipped in so we had to spend extra for the cases we weren't expecting, because I never turn away liquor, especially one of such great quality” I explained after Levi pointed out an elaborate expense that didn't add up.“Ah, of course” His eyes lit up in understanding and he nodded before he wrote it off.Just then, we heard a knock on the door, I turned toward it but Levi’s eyes remained focused on the file before him.“Yes? Come on in” I called out when I picked up Leila’s scent from behind the door.She walked in and I noticed that her scars from the unfortunate night with Cora still hadn't fully healed, the physician had explained that Leila would heal really slowly because her wolf had also been badly injured so it couldn't speed up her healing and she might even end up with a scar after the

    Cora’s POVKai’s hand flew to his cheek but judging from his strength which I knew of, I knew that he hadn't done so because the slap had stung but because he was still shocked that I’d slapped him in a room filled with men that feared him.I held the shreds of my dress tightly against my chest as his blazing eyes met mine, he looked like he was unsure what to do with me, and as much as that scared me, I kept up appearances by glaring back at him angrily as well.The men in the audience who were rowdy like the bastards they’d proven to be earlier were still dead silent and if a tear dropped on the floor at that moment, I could swear that we’d all hear it. Soon enough, Levi walked into the hall with heavy silver chains in his hands and I realized that I’d indeed made Kai so furious and speechless that he’d preferred to mind-link Levi to do his bidding. As quiet as an obedient puppet, Levi walked toward me and began to bind me in the chains like he must've been asked to.“Of course he'

    Cora’s POVI woke up to an unusual jangling of keys in the lock of my cell and I knew that it couldn't be a good thing, and I immediately confirmed that when I looked up to see Kai, Levi and some guards walking into the cell like men ready for battle.Bit of course, with me, everything was war.The guard on Kai’s left was holding a weird looking iron, the one on his right as well as Levi we're holding fire torches to illuminate the dungeon and another guard was holding a can that was steaming hot and my mind began to wander to a million things he must have planned for me. I wondered what in the twisted name of the gods was about to go down, and involuntarily my heart started beating like crazy.“What is it you want from me this time?” I asked him boldly as though my nerves weren't all over the place.Kai didn't even spare me a glance, he didn't even act like anyone had spoken, he just kept looking around the cell like he was trying to find the perfect spot to rain his terror on me. I’

    Leila’s POVI woke up bright an early with a mission, to drag Cora’s ass through an ocean of pain that would barely compare to what she’d put me through on the night of the witch trial. Even though she’d gotten off the hook because she wasn't a witch, at least I didn't lose on all sides that night because I found out that she had a magical heirloom that had been protecting her from my spells all this while.Luckily for me, Kai had asked her to get rid of it and that meant that I could now cast spells on her at will and it’d work without any interruptions. On cue, the puppet I needed to carry out the most important part of my plan against Cora knocked on my door to resume her morning duties.“Yes? Come in” I called out and she pushed the door open cautiously, probably trying to gauge my mood because in the past week when I was recovering from the injuries Cora inflicted on me, I’d taken out all my anger on her in various inhumane ways.“Good morning, miss, I'll get your bath ready now”

    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.

    Kai’s POVLevi’s pain strengthened me even more, he had no idea.“In your next life, when you get an opportunity to kill your enemy, don’t be an egoistic bastard by waiting to organize a lousy ceremony first and just fucking do it!” I gave him the last piece of valuable advice he’d ever get.“C-Cora….” tears dropped down his face as he fixed his desperately pleading eyes on my woman.“You brought this on yourself, Levi. 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.
