Riley's POV:"Don't relent, we'll get abusing spot soon." I encouraged Skylar, pullimg her along with me as we ran forward. "I'm tired." I ignored her complaint and kept pushing forward, if Rayell could.become the lost queen of the rainbow pack then anything was possible.I didn't stop running until I reached one corner of the garden.There were bushes here where Skylar and I could hide. I crouched down behind some bushes and cautiously peeked over the leaves.I wanted to check if our pursuers were still following us.I didn't see any of our pursuers, but the path beyond the bushes was full of guests from the banquet."Have you heard? Apparently, Phoenix killed the previous king.For that, Callox overthrew his brother and imprisoned him.So will Callox be the new king?""But he's afflicted with the Love Curse, which is an unbreakable curse.That is unless he's not in love.""How horrible! I heard that there was a vampire in the banquet hall!"The guests gossiped as they walked past the b
Callox's POV:After I sent my trusted subordinates to look for Riley and Kayla, Rayell and I once again walked around the royal palace to look for them, but we still couldn't find any trace of them."What the hell are you saying ?! You can't find them?" I yelled at a guard that was trembling at my feet."I'm sorry Alpha, we would soon find them." The worried look on Rayell's face made me feel sorry for her, but I knew that no matter how hard I tried to comfort her, it wouldn't be of any help. I wanted to comfort her to be by her side when the darkness comes. She was like for a reason and I was going to let her feel safe.After all, Riley was her brother, while Kayla was her best friend.Two of the closest people to her were missing.There was no doubt that she must be feeling very anxious right now.I could only accompany her silently."Mr.Jones, two suspected spies from the vampires side have escaped from the royal palace."Once we reached the royal palace, a guard rushed over, bow
Phoenix's POV:"I can give up my dignity for Anthony's sake, because he is the most important to me," Rayell said slowly, looking straight into my taunting eyes."Then what are you waiting for? Kneel "I began, feeling complacent.But before I could finish my words, Rayell interrupted me."But I will never kneel down to a villain like you!" Rayell said coldly.The damned bitch! I was so furious that I punched the iron bars with my fist, which sent a stinging pain through my knuckles."I will never tell you where Larry is! Get out of here!" I snarled, pointing at Rayell."Just wait to bury Anthony's dead body."Despite my firm response, Rayell continued to stare at me expressionlessly, as if I was a clown in her eyes.What a bitch!"How can I get you to tell me where Larry is? Just put forward your condition, Phoenix," Rayell said, crossing her arms over her chest.Her tone was plain, and less humble than before."Don't even think about it unless you can help me succeed to the throne aga
Elizabeth's POV:I walked out of my chambers into the dead of the night, a lantern on my hands. "Mrs Jones! I have a report for you." My personal maid rushes up to me, panting like her life depended on it."What report is that?""Brenda has been imprisoned by Callox, and she is pregnant!" What? I felt my heart go numb at this piece of news. Why ? How could Callox do something as cruel as this to a pregnant woman?"She was said to have colluded with Phoenix?"Phoenix? I thought he didn't love her, I thought they had nothing to do with each other, was I being fooled? I couldn't believe this at all. I need to see for myself.The moment I saw Brenda in that jail cell, I felt as though someone had reached into my chest and squeezed my heart out.After all, despite our differences, she was someone I once loved dearly.Although I no longer considered Brenda to be my loving daughter anymore, I simply couldn't bring myself to let her rot in there after all the fond memories we had of each ot
Kayla.I jerked up in the car, startled by the sound of something tapping incessantly on the window. Blinking away the sleep from my eyes,I couldn't contain my shock, it could have been anyone or anything ir even someone sent to attack me. I groggily turned to see none other than Blake standing outside the car door.A sigh of relief escaped my lips as he stood there, he looked a little bit different tham the last time I saw him. His hair was tousled back in weariness and probably from waiting for me too long. His face was a mix of concern and weariness, the weight of recent events evident in his eyes.Without a moment's hesitation, I rolled down the window and reached out to him. "Hey Blake, what's up?" I asked, rubbing the lingering sleep from my eyes.I didn't need a magician to tell me what was going on an why Blake looked so pale. I wondered if Aragorn knew what happened to him and why it happened. Aragorn didn't know me but at the ame time he wouldn't be happy with me being the
Callox's POV:Days passed boringly. Thankfully Kayla was able to contact Rayell and allay her fears. Shortly after that Rayell contacted me telling me he has something urgent to tell me. That was by the way.Today, the elders has decided to have a council meeting with I and Rayell. I guess it's pertaining to my new claim that Rayell would become my Luna.Before the elders’ meeting, Rayell and I had lunch together.While we were waiting for the dishes to be served, Rayell gave Kayla a call.As the two of them chatted, Rayell's lips curved up into a content smile.By the time she hung up the phone, she was in a much better mood."Callox, you must tell the elders to cover up the news of what happened at the banquet hall.We absolutely can't let that information be spread to the Rainbow Pack.Riley and Kayla are going to get married soon.If the werewolves of the Rainbow Pack find out that she might have the vampire blood, they will definitely go against her," Rayell said seriously, staring a
Rayell's POV:After the elders' meeting, Callox and I accompanied Elizabeth back to her room. There were lots of thoughts running through mind , as if on cue Callox entered my head."You look bothered, what's going on ?" He asked, I could hear the sincerity in his voice."Its nothing. Really -""Don't lie to me Rayell," He snapped angrily, cutting me short. "Tell me what's wrong Rayell, I am your mate and by your side for a reason. Talk to me, is it Skylar?""Yes." "We can't bring that up in front of my mother, we'll talk about it later." I nodded and we continued leading Elizabeth to her room.When we reached the door, she suddenly turned to me and patted my hand."Rayell, don't worry.We'll find Larry soon.You don't know how much I like you.I'm looking forward to the day that I can finally see you and Callox get married," she said, looking back and forth between me and Callox with a gentle smile. "I can't wait to see you two become the.mkst powerful rulimg couples." I was deeply tou
Callox's POV:We searched Larry's house and rummaged through all of his belongings, but we didn't find anything that could lead us to him I was at my wits’ end when suddenly, I heard a voice.I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the voice at first.I didn't think that there was someone else in the house."Excuse me, are you Larry, the grand wizard? Please show yourself.We only here to talk," I said immediately.I needed to get this love curse away, that is the only way I can be together with Rayell without any obstruction. Everyone was expecting me to either reject her as my mate and Luna to be, or defect her from the pack.I was going to neither of those, I knew clearly that Rayell had nothing to do with the love curse. So why would i.pqss aggressions and judge unfairly because the public say so ?"I'm sorry, but I'm not Larry.I'm an old friend of his.Unfortunately, even I haven't seen him for a long time.Why are you looking for him?" the voice answered quickly, bringing me back f
Rayell POVI have been trapped in this dark, endless void for what feels like an eternity.Kai had trapped me in a cage. And when he did come back to remove me from the cage. I did not have the strength to even get out of it.My body was all covered with goo and slimes. And my breath was short.I knew I had only a short time to live. And all I could do is think of was callox.Thoughts of him were what made the whole torture bearable.It was the faint glow that made my spark not to die.Suddenly, a gentle voice whispers in my mind. “Lady Rayell.”I turned around. But nobody was there.The voice was a soft, melodious voice, unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.“Who is it?”“I’m Princess Diane from the Bluebird Village, and I have come to help you connect back to your lover.”Confusion filled me.“To callox?”“Yes.”“Why can’t I see you?”“That isn’t important. What is that I can get you to see your lover?”“Can you at free me from this torment instead?”“I’m afraid I can’t. The dama
Allen POVI had left the palace feeling very angry. I couldn’t believe just how selfish the king was.He had another chance to make everything right. And he was still just concerned about his lady!I should have advocated for him to be removed. We needed a Lycan king who would protect his pack. His kingdom.Not a weakling.Well, it seemed I would have to handle things on my own.The moon goddess had been furious at me, and that was cause she had to face queries with the higher-ups in the heavens.The weapon I had been working on to use against Kai had been a total failure.The number of wolves dying was increasing massively. I felt really stuck. I was going through some books to see if I could find anything that would help.But so far, it had just been useless.I was still scaling through the books when one of my servant boys came barging into my chambers.“My lord.” He greeted.“What is it? I told you I didn’t wish to be disturbed.”“I apologize. But there is a woman at the gate. S
Callox POVI waited for Allen in the royal halls. While the guards packed up the dead bodies on the floor.When Allen came in. He had a very very grim expression.“Good day. Sire.” He bowed.“How bad is it?”He sighed. “The moon goddess and the entire heaven are angry with us. At our way of defeating Kai. They wanted to wipe out the whole of the Lycan kingdom. But I had to plead that we are given some time before they do so.”“And did they answer?”“Yes. However it is a very short limited time of two weeks.”I sighed. As if life couldn’t get any more harder.“Rayell went crazed. I believe it's cause of Kai.”“You are right. She did go crazed cause of Kai. He has been triggered.”“How is this impossible? I thought you got rid of him?”“I subdued him. I was trying to form a sword that would finally exterminate him from her. However, I do not think it’s possible anymore.”“What do you mean?”“For Kai to be killed. Rayell is going to have to die.”That statement sounded like a death sente
Callox POVI have been searching for rayell for days now. And yet every one of my searches had proved abortive.And the more I couldn’t find her. The more I went crazier. I wondered what on earth I was to do with this information.I had started shouting and sleepless nights. My mind felt like it was in a jumbled state. Sometimes I end up wallowing in bed. And Crying about everything.In the meantime. I noticed my legs had gotten more responsive. And I was even able to stand.Which was quite a lot. The cure was indeed working.However, I didn’t feel happy about it, cause she wasn’t here to share in the joy with meLiam helped with my leg routine every morning. Teaching me how to get used to my legs and all.However, I didn’t care much about it. Cause It felt like life had suddenly become to difficult to live in. In her absence.I was dying of fear and worry as to whether she was fine or not.Or if she needed me! I also felt immense guilt for not being able to stand up and defend her l
Rayell POVI had been staying at the cottage house for three days now. And I was already tired of the routine living style.Wake up, shower, eat, read some books, take a nap. A stroll. Read. Nap. Dinner. Then it goes on to repeat the whole actions over an over again.It was truly exhausting. I spent most of the time thinking of callox. To the extent that I started seeing him everywhere in the house.I felt I was going crazy at some point.I sat in the balcony of the cottage home. Taking in the fresh breeze and keeping time with reading.I was lost in it till elara came with a tray of snacks.She dropped it, did her courtesy greeting, and left. It’s how our lives have been. No talking or relations beyond that of a maid and her Lady.It was exactly like I had asked her to do. I felt bad about it. But it was for the best.After the snacks. I went back into my room and took an eventful nap.When I opened my eyes I noticed how clouded the place was.And how the wind was howling in the di
Callox POVI was pacing in the hallways. Still angry over Marcus' declaration. I couldn’t believe he had done that to his granddaughter.He had been cool with the idea of us being together. So why did he do that?After his declaration, the council, as usual, declined Rayell, who was my Luna.Though her name had been cleared, she could be in the palace. But I doubted that would feel like good news to Rayell.I wondered how she would feel about this. It sure would hurt her that her only family had been against the idea of her being happy.I fisted my hands, awaiting him. The council members came out of the meeting room. When Marcus saw me, he swallowed hard. It took everything in me not to snap the life out of his neck.Years of respect and the sacrifices he made to the royal family. Was what Kept me from doing so.“What was that for?”He ignored me and kept walking away.“I am talking to you!” I retorted in an authoritative tone.Which had him stopping.“It was needed.”“You destroyed
Rayell POVAfter Callox left and I cried my eyes out, Marcus came knocking on the door,And I told him how desperate I was to leave, and he told me he understood. He brought Elara, my handmaiden, with who I had gotten close over the past few months.We had to change into maid's clothing so I could easily escape the palace floors, and then we entered through a tunnel.When we got outside, we noticed that Marcus arranged for the carriage and horses to take us to the supposed destination.I wondered if Callox would realize that I was gone early,I doubted it cause he probably would be too busy preparing to get married. Anger seeped through me.What happened to fighting for my cause? What happened to not getting married to anyone but me? Was he lying?I wondered who it was that he was getting married to, and somehow, I felt jealous that I wasn’t in her position, I didn’t have enough political gains to be worth being his wife.We arrived at the supposed destination, which was a little cot
Rayell POVImmediately after Lady Aria attacked me, I lost consciousness of myself for a while.However, when I finally regained it. It was for a short period. And that was to see my body fall to the floor.It grew eminently dark again when I finally opened my eyes.I noticed I was back in that desolate dream world. And this time, I was in a cage. My hands and legs were high-tied to a cage.I rattle against the cage. Trying to get out of the cage.But it was just too tight. “You are not getting released out of that.” Kai's voice echoed.“What have you done to me?”“You’ve been subdued. I told you it was going to happen sooner.”“Subdued? As in, you took over my consciousness?”“Yes, darling. Now, sleep tight. I have got some unfinished business. And when I do achieve it. I will do you a favour of killing you.” He said.“No! No! No!” I screamed. But it was too late. A mist came up. And soon, my eyes went blank.Kai POVWhen I finally woke up, I realised that I was in an infirmary.I co
Rayell POVI sat in the royal garden, enjoying the cool breeze that tainted my skin,A harsh reality to the turmoil I was facing deep inside. My mind was still reeling from the conversations I had with Callox just when I thought things were going fine for us.I had been painfully knocked out of my sweet life and reminded of the harsh reality of life. Callox said he was going to do his best not to get married to someone who wasn’t me, except I didn’t know how to feel about that cause there was a high chance that he was going to go against his wordsAnd I have no idea if I would be able to handle such a thing when it happens. Seeing him with another woman would surely break me.If only I hadn’t gotten myself involved with Dustin's games, then maybe I would be here planning my wedding and not here confused about the next step to take,I was still lost in my thoughts when I sighted lord Marcus at the far end of the garden. He was having some discussions with the lords,When he saw me, h
