Callox’s povThe tears of Edith were eventually found, and it was a mystery to come. Hailey was so smart in getting it.“Thank you, Morgan.” I expressed my sincere appreciation as I bowed gently.“You’re welcome, and you both can return to your family peacefully.” He hid us farewell, and we headed back to our pack.My pack, my home. After days of journey, we eventually arrived at the Osman pack. Scaling on the wheels of my wheelchair, the pack members approached me.“You’re welcome, Prince Callox.” They bowed in unison. Their voice brought hope and light to my heart.The memories of the hell I experienced in the avalanche were still embedded in my skull. How I nearly lost my woman.“It’s my pleasure to see you all again and my greatest joy to inform you that the love curse has been broken.” I broke the good news to them, and I saw genuine happiness spread across their face.“Oh! Bless the moon goddess.” An older woman said cheerfully.”You all will be served, and make sure you dine an
Dustin povI sipped the coffee that had been placed by Linda, Henry looked astonished but not disinterested, “What do you mean by gone”, “Well I need her six feet underneath the ground, is that enough explanation?”, “B-ut-but how would that help in getting the required position you need”, I smirked, this dude must be the father of the year of something, rather than being concerned for his about-to-be-dead daughter, he’s more concerned about how the plan would work, well good for me, I chose the right accomplice, “Well I planned to pin her death to the trust circle, and if Callox believes that, I think he would be on a murder rampage”, “And if he doesn’t?”, “Then I’ll kill the trust circle and pin it on him”, Henry grew silent for a while, “Why are you coming to me for this, what makes you so sure I’d be willing to do this, and what I gain by doing it?”, I smirked at him, “Well for one, I think you are in no good place with your daughter”, “So you hear
Callox POVI returned to my bedroom to find Rayell anxiously pacing around, I gave her a weak smile, feeling bad for all she had had to face, life was truly unfair, I wished I could just make it all go away, and give her the true happiness she deserves, “What is it Callox”, she asked I took her hands and ushered her to sit on our bed, “It’s just a little bump on the road to our happy ending”, “Well, it doesn’t look like it”, “Your father came”, I finally confessed, “My father? since when was he present at the trusted circle?”, “He- he made some complaints about our wedding-“, the look in her eyes made me stop, it was dreadful to see her eyes filled with sadness, “He tried to stop our wedding right?”, I heaved a sigh “Yes he did, although I think he had the help of my brother, but not to worry, he can’t do anything to stop us from being united, okay?”, I drew her in for a tight hug, She redrew it after a little while, “What complaints did
Callox POVI felt anger swirling in me, this shell of a father was already getting to Rayell, her eyes were filled with shock and fear after hearing Henry lies about her birth,"Hey love, don't listen to him, he's lying", I reassured her holding her hands to provide comfort, "By-but how can you be so- sure he's my father- so he'll know the truth about these things", "He is a liar, you can't believe him, at least if you want the truth, get it from someone honest, he's just going to keep spilling lies to get to you", "I'm not lying, I swear it on my life, Rayell is not my late wife's daughter, I'll show you our old family albums, of how my wife never had any bumps in her stomach and yet still got a child, there were no medical records of her being to the hospital, and I also have the medical reports the doctor gave us about her womb being too weak to bear a child", Henry rambled, and any hope of convincing Rayell against Henry's lies was gone, "Oh dear, I'm a Half Bree
Rayell POVCallox and I were both going through the medical reports in front of us, Liam had gotten all hospital records within the pack from the year she was born, it was an instruction from Callox, Callox believes we could find a led to my birth mother, I took in a deep breath, it has been difficult, today was the second day of searching for my birth mother, and even though I was bombarded with conflicting feelings, I still had to keep looking through the medical files, Callox had been helping me, with the record and dealing with my feelings, and honestly I just couldn’t wait for these to be over with, Callox had also made Liam his trusted guard help in reviewing the reports, so far nothing about me has turned up, and we were almost done checking them, part of me felt relieved that I may not have to deal with a stranger who is my birth mother, and part of me felt sad that I couldn’t get answers to my questions, I felt so lost and confused,Callox has been trying his best to be ther
Rayell POVMy head felt heavy, and I could hear voices, mostly ones I couldn’t recognize, I tried opening my eyes, but it was too heavy, and it felt better to keep them closed, but when I felt hands moving on my body, I immediately opened them, but not wide enough for me to make out who it was, I could only tell by the firm hands that it belonged to a man, and I could tell he was naked, as he kept hovering over me, he was touching my face, my hair, and my breasts, and his hands was everywhere, it felt so strange, this wasn’t Callox touch, Then who was touching me? I tried to move my body to find out, but I felt weak, I couldn’t even move my lips to protest, it was like my entire body had turned off, with only my brain slightly awake, “Please don’t touch me”, I wanted to say, but the words ended up in my mouth, I couldn’t even remember how I got here, The last thing I remembered was walking out of the mansion, after learning about my birth mother, and walking on bluebonnets street,
Rayell POVI was lying on a bed, but I didn’t recognize it, and my body was paralyzed, the room was extremely dark, I called out to see if anyone was lurking in the dark, but I got no response,Except for the sound of voices and footsteps, and the closer they got to the bed, the louder their voices were, they were all echoing the same words,“Filthy, impure,”, over and over, I tried moving from the bed, and when I finally did, a man in a mask jumped on me, I woke up screaming, sweats were all over my body, my heart pounding heavily,“What is it”, Callox asked, worry written on his face,I hugged him, as though it would take away the frightening dream,“Please don’t leave me, don’t ever leave me again”,Callox hugged me back,“I won’t love, you must have had a nightmare, it’s okay, I’m here, you don’t have to fear”, I soaked in his smell, wanting to forget the bad experience so badly, We went back to sleep, my nose attached to Callox's neck, as it felt comforting,I woke up to Callo
Dustin POVI was still in my thoughts trying to figure out what the hell was wrong, and drunk Elijah didn’t seem to be helping much, he wasn’t taking the situation as liberal as it needed to be,“So you’re not going to tell the circle”,“I want to be sure this- the situation is an advantage for me”,“If it’s not?”,“I’ll deal with it, now can you stop being an irritating drunk, and help me figure out what we can do with the body”,“We can eat her”, his suggestion made me want to bawl his eyes out, I truly hated drunk Elijah,“Are you crazy, you know the consequences for that, we don’t eat the humans”,“Yeah yeah, the moon goddess curse and all, I get it, but how do we sneak a dead human out of the palace”,“Firstly we are going to clean all this blood”,“Can’t you have one of your servers do that?”,I gave him a hard stare,“Just get me the cleaning towels and antiseptics”, I ordered, as Elijah dropped the liquor, heading towards my bathroom, I dragged the dead body away from the blo
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
