Rayell's POV:Morgan quickly wrote down the words that Callox and I dictated.Once finished, he secured the letter to the carrier pigeon's leg and opened the window to release it. The pigeon flew off into the distance, offering a sense of relief.However, the relief was short-lived as cold winds blew in through the window, causing me to shiver uncontrollably. The biting cold of the snow-covered mountain only added to the pain of my injuries, making it unbearable."Rayell, you're shivering! Stop pretending to be strong and drink the potion for the cold," Callox insisted as he rummaged through his backpack for the bottle of magic medicine given to us by Amelia.Handing me the potion, Callox caught Morgan's excited expression."Isn't that Amelia's?" Morgan exclaimed, pointing at the bottle. "I would recognize it anywhere. This must mean Amelia really is alive!"Morgan's enthusiasm was evident as he spoke, offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of our challenges."Of course, Morgan," I s
Rayell Pov.I need to make sure that Callox is cured as soon as possible..it was late in the night but I needed to speak to Morgan privately.I met him drinking a cup of wine on the pavement."When do you intend to heal Callox and take us out of here ?""Did I promised you that?" He raised a brow in question."You-!" Rayell stomped her feet and sat down opposite him. "You promised to help us, now you are going back on your word. Are you the righteous wizard you claim to be ?""Now watch your tone young lad." He cautioned. "I have said that you should find the divine flower,""That is like a dead end. How fo we even go about that." Rayell responded harshly."Listen to me if you ever want Callox to be healed." Eden's POV:We had to rush the preparations because we ended up pushing up the day of the wedding to an earlier date.Today, Helen and I woke up in the early morning to pick out the wedding dress and our rings.Much to our surprise, Helen and I ran into Devin and Grace while we w
Helen POV.I can't believe that Delvin would go this far in making sure that our life was frustrated to the extent of making out lives miserable.A knock resounded on my door, I opened it to find Mandy standing there."Hey Mandy, it's nice to meet you here." Helen greeted. "How can I help you?" Mandy smirked. "I was sent to gjve you this." Mandy brought out a bottle of perfume. The scent aline was attracting me to it and all my instant anger was being was washed away."Wow that is very nice of whoever sent you." I replied.A dark look crossed her face but she immediately masked it. "That's nice. See you around Miss Helen.""And you too." As I shut the door, a smile crept it's way to my lips.Mandy's POV:I wanted to wipe the floor with that bitch's arrogant smile.Did Helen really believe that I would give Eden and her my blessings? She was either crazy or she was dreaming.The smug look on Helen's face infuriated me and I kicked the stones on the roadside to release my anger. Howev
Edens Pov.I sat in my office, turning my chair while twirling a pennin my hands. It was really stressful to be a prince and the next in command. In reality I never want to be an alpha, but this is my father's wish on his sickbed and I could only help bring that to pass.The door to my office opened and Delvin walked in, I immediately stood up to welcome him and to my surprise he was hospitable and accepted my welcome. When we both sat I asked the underlying question in my mind."And to what do I owe this special visit Delvin?" "Can't I have a little conversation with my little brother amd soon-to-be Alpha?" He said convincingly.A smile erupted on my lips, at least he wasn't angry anymore. "Oh oh, sorry for my rudeness just now." I said hastily. "What would you like to drink ?"Delvin waved me off. "Nothing, I just want to see how things are going with your preparation as the soon-to-be Alpha.""Really things aren't coming on well as I have expected it to but I am trying my best."
Helen’s pov Getting home, I reached my bag to the couch, and I swirled my hair in the air. “It was really a long day, honey.” A soft exhale escaped through my lips.“And also a memorable day of my life. It would be best if you didn't forget to add that to it,” Eden responded, his back getting lower, and his fingers landed on my feet.A feeling of relaxation and shyness washed over me as he helped with my buckle. “Thank you, babe.” I smiled at him before he moved to my rack.“How I wished Davin and I had been good brothers before now. Don't you think the bond would have been stronger?” He turned his face, and I noticed how cracked his heart had been.“It isn't late, okay? You aren't at fault, so you don't have to take the blame or guilt. Nevertheless, I’m glad you both are getting together now.” I patted his shoulder calmly, and I saw his burden lessened.We had a great night after having ourselves sleeping in each other’s arms.______The chirping sound of the bed alarmed me, and I
Eden’s pov An emergency call rang, and I darted to my father’s mansion. “You should have just gone home to rest, babe. So your eyes won’t get too heavy for our wedding shoot.” I flung my arm around Helen's waist as she looked so tired.“It’s your Dad, and he's also like a father to me. So why should I let you go through the burden alone.” She replied, and then immediately, a nurse walked up to us.“You can visit him now. We are done with his first medication, and don't hesitate to call out to us if anything happens.” The nurse said, pointing at his room.My heart ran some meters as I carefully opened the door to his ward. My heart sank, and for the very first time in my life, I was scared of losing someone so dear to me.“What have I done, moon goodness answer me?” My mother sobbed uncontrollably as she leaned on his bed.His eyes have gotten white, and he looks more thinner than before. “Mom, It would break us seeing you sobbing.” My woman wrapped my mother in a tight bug, and I cou
Eden’s pov After meeting with my neighbor, I resumed to my office. “Good morning, sir. We have a proposal from the neighboring pack.” My Beta came in shortly.He landed it on the table, and I stared at it briefly, “I will go through it later.” I said to him in a hoarse voice. My fingers ran through my hair as he stared at me in confusion, “I’m sorry to bother sir. Is anything the problem?” His gentle voice muttered carefully.I didn't want to open up or say something, but if I couldn’t confide in my Beta, who would I confide in?“You know of my Father’s health issues, do you?” I questioned, and he nodded in acknowledgment.“His condition baffles me, and it breaks me seeding him bedridden. Anytime it seems to get better, it worsens.” I narrated, a sigh heaving out of my lips.A problem shared is a problem solved, but my heart got heavier. “I’m sorry for Alpha Marlon’s condition, but what are the doctors saying? Does he need surgery? A fly out of the country for medication?” He asked
Helen’s pov I could feel the wetness of my fluid against my cheeks and the cracking of every bit of me.“Eden, I know nothing about this. I would never try to hurt Father. He did nothing wrong to me and always loves me like his daughter.” My voice went lower and lower, and I took a break to have my vocal cords intact.“I never said you did it. Never did I mention I didn't trust you. All I need is an answer to my troubled mind. How? Why? I can’t just think of it.”He ran his fingers repeatedly while I tried running through my clouded mind.“Could it be the perfume Mandy gifted me?” I asked him after a clear thought. “Since the test was done on my clothing material, it is just the perfume I used and have been using,” I added when he eyeballed me.“I knew it.” He jumped to his feet, grabbing his car key, “My mind has been there. Her sudden change and kindness? Every damn thing was worth suspecting. Let’s go, Helen!” He grabbed my wrist carefully but tightly.“Pick the perfume.” He order
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
