Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 75
Nerezza's Point of ViewWhen I had envisioned Lysander's workplace, this was not it. For some odd reason, I had thought it to be in a basement. Secluded. Multiple balding people hunched over screens with sweat dripping from their foreheads. This was not it. Was so far away from it that I might as well have dropped from heaven and landed in hell.With windows for walls on the entire side of the building, looking out over Makatza. Glass desk with several state-of-the-art monitors on it. A swiveling chair. Not meant for an office but more for a gamer, ready to conquer his fantasy world. No personal touches. None. Not even a photo of his mother. Or a plant, basking in all of this magnificent sunlight.Yes, this was far removed from the dark basement. Lysander dominated the space. Filled up the room with his presence. Here, he was in charge. The lord of this domain. From the people slithering away when he looked at them, he was a strict ruler. The boss no one wanted to cross. That image w

Nerezza's Point of ViewThe way out seemed so clear now. So easy. Letting all of this go, my worries would vanish. Yes, people's lives would take a hit because of it. Yes, people were going to be angry with me. But I couldn't do this anymore. The weight of it all was crushing me down. Grinding me into the earth. I was now a fine powder drifting along with the current of people who wanted me to do whatever was in their best interest.Then along came three arrogant bastards. Who pressed me. Pushed me. Pulled me. To be better. Do better for me. No longer was it viewed as selfish to take care of yourself. No longer was it frowned upon. Numerous times, they had begged me to stop. Pause and take a good long look at what I was doing to my heart and soul.Now, I had to give them up as well. The last hope I had beside from finding Conan. Like fucking hell I would.As I had assumed, the guards marched me into the palace. Made a spectacle of bringing me back to my cage. Neither of them spoke. On

Priamos' Point of ViewBeing back in Makatza, I was reminded why I had hated it so much to begin with. There were cars everywhere, hooting and accelerating until their exhausts made loud noises. People screaming at each other in the streets. Children playing pranks on the elderly. It was too busy. Too loud. Not an inch of this place had a quiet space. A place to rest and unwind.I had no idea why I hadn't lost my mind all those years ago. Or maybe I had an idea as to why. Because I had to look after Farren. Drown out the rest of the city as I focussed on my sister. On my work. Money had come in slowly at the beginning. Then, as I crawled up the ladder, it started flowing in.Then, when Farren went to the hostel to live on campus, I found Nerezza soon after. She also kept me grounded. Made the buzzing around me sound softer. Made the watery streetlights look like fireflies instead. Brightened up an otherwise dull world. So I had kept my sanity by providing for everyone around me. Focus

Nerezza's Point of View Thanking my lucky stars that Phaedra was nowhere in sight, I stepped into the apartment. My blood was singing in my ears. I could feel my heart hammer against the inside of my chest, begging to be let out instead of caged here. Stepping forward, I stopped a moment. Looked around, taking it all in. This would be the last time I was here. The last opportunity I had to bask in the glow this life had offered me. The maids had cleaned for the day, that much was evident. Our kitchen sparkled, the smokey quartz sparkling in the countertops. All the crystal wine glasses hung from their perch. I let my eyes trail to the living room. To the couch I had declared as mine when we had just moved in. It always caught the last rays of sunshine right before the sun sank below the horizon. There was a breeze playing with the curtains. A lone figure stood out there on the balcony. Watched the gardens beneath. Her hair refracted the moon's light, letting the rainbow play in her

Priamos' Point of View We had crossed the city in an hour or so. Going from walking to hiking, it took longer than I had thought it would. But we ended up on the west side of the city. Where lawns were manicured like a rich lady's hand. Fountains gurgling water. It was the type of place I would have liked to raise Conan. From the looks of it, Nerezza had thought the same thing. There were more people jogging this late at night than there were cars on the road. The weird looks from earlier had left their faces as well. Here, it seemed, it was normal to carry around your pet in such a way. Bambi was awake for the entire trip. His head swiveled in every direction. Took in every movement he could see. Some people would approach us. Rub his head and coo about how adorable he was. He seemed to like this. Adore the attention. Especially from women who were considered beautiful. When this happens, I would roll my eyes at them. Take a step back and ask for directions to the house. Eagerl

Nerezza's Point of ViewAll I could hear was my rapid beating heart. Smell the fear clinging to my skin. This was the start of a new journey. One I had no idea where it lead. The only thing I needed to know was that my soul would be lighter after this goodbye. That I had paid homage to the man who had brought me this far at least.There was once a time when he had loved me. And I had loved him. Now the time had come for me to move on. Become someone else again. A version of myself that was happier than before. Gone was the plan I had for my life. Gone was the idea that I might one day sit on the throne.None of those things were nessacray. But saying goodbye was. Because for all his faults, he had been good to me in his own ways. Yes, he knew where Conan was and I was going to get that answer from him yet. But all the other things weren't as tainted as I had once thought.Our memories together. Farren in the garden, picking flowers to bring me whilst Reginald lay with his head in my l

Amadeus' Point of ViewI fucked up. Alastair was livid beyond comprehension. I had kept yet another thing from him. Concealed it because Nerezza had made me promise. Now it came back to bite me in the ass. As it always does.Would I do it again if I needed to help her? Absolutely! Would I regret it afterward? Hell fucking no. His anger was better than her being hurt again. Especially after dick-face abandoned her. Although, now my twin wanted almost nothing to do with me. It was a harsh reality of being this close to someone. Of being born together. Soon enough, the sun would rise and Nerezza would explain this to everyone. Tell them about what Priamos had done. Not that he had made any effort to explain himself either. The man was mute. Only speaking to his fawn in hushed tones when the thing became unruly.He had slept in a spare bedroom. Woke up two hours before dawn only to find the three of us already waiting for our mate. The disdain on his face was enough to knock a lesser man

Nerezza's Point of ViewI woke up to the smell of mildew. Musty. A stench I had come to know only in my previous life. Not here. Never in the palace. Everything was always so clean. Pristine and neat. As if just one speck of dust could send the entire empire into ruin. So, waking up to that pungent smell was strange, to say the least. Then came the aches in my body. My back was stiff. Pounding hard against my spine. Every muscle groaned as I sat up. Forced my eyes open. For a moment, I had no idea where I was. There was barely any light and it took my eyes a second or two to adjust to the dimness.The walls were of deepest red brick. The floor was made of cement. There were bars to my left. A makeshift toilet in front of me. The rest of the air smelt stale. No one had been here in a while. Or they cleaned this place so thoroughly that no scents would linger. Which was highly unlikely.Sorting through my memories, I remembered the night before. How Reginald had died, blood spurting ev

Alvara's Point of ViewEveryone was waiting. Everything was ready. Perfect. The best day of my life. But I couldn't help the sudden surge of nerves. What if the cake fell off the table? What if Ciaran had forgotten the rings? So many things could go wrong so fast. It was an endless cycle of what would be worse.Someone showing up in white or the brides' maids tripping halfway down the aisle. "Can you stop fidgeting? Geez. You look perfect!" Teagan exclaimed. Downed the last bit of champagne in her glass. I frowned at her. Looked toward Adelia to back me up. She only shrugged. Smiled and stood.Her long blue dress swayed against the tiles. Heels clicked as she moved closer. Wrapping her arms around my shoulders, we stared into the large mirror together. "You do look perfect. And you are marrying the loves of your life. Nothing can ruin today. I promise." She tried to comfort me. It wasn't working. My large A-line dress did the best it could at hiding the fact that I was pregnant. Nea

Nerezza's Point of ViewFarren had changed the estate exponentially. Enhanced it to the point where I was uncertain if we had come to the right place. No longer were the walls a dull black fence. In their place stood a large hedge with flowers sprouting in every direction. Security posted at the white frosted gates. White gravel leading into the place. It was exactly the type of wonderland I had thought her capable of constructing. A mansion fit for a fairy queen.I could feel my jaw slipping open. Feel awe creep up on me. She had accomplished so much in just over two weeks' time. Knew where her strengths were and used them to the best of her abilities. It was astonishing. We stopped in front of the gates. Were greeted by guards I knew the faces of. Couldn't place them immediately until one spoke up. "Miss Nerezza! Farren wasn't expecting you to be back so soon!" The man exclaimed. Held open his arms for a hug. I looked back at my mates. Noticed their frowns. But the gesture finally

Nerezza's Point of ViewWe had gathered everyone in the open space in front of the house. Gave them all blankets. Scavenged some clothes in all the surrounding houses and dressed the youngest of the children. Not all of the garments fit properly but it was enough to stave off the cold. Protect their innocence. Especially seeing as they had been through so much already.Conan was still passed out in the blanket Priamos had taken him away in. Milla sat close to him. Hugged his legs to her. Whimpered whenever one of my mates would get too close or linger too long. Her clear distrust of anyone was to be expected but I had never imagined someone of her age would already possess such hatred for other people.Alastair had turned back into his wolf form. Scouted for any remaining men in the surrounding area. He made his second lap around the premises before I stopped him. Held my hand on the patch of white he had on his forehead. The dark brown wolf nuzzled my hand. Looked me in the eyes."Go
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 121
Nerezza's Point of ViewThe brute had no time to recover. Or dodge. Only time to twist before Zaven lunged at him. This gave me an opening. Enough time to slip past the brawling bodies. Snarls and yips echoed into the hall. Slithered down my spine.I pushed them all away. Focussed on finding my son again. The chaos coming from downstairs was enough to bring me to my knees. The fighting had spilled inside. Men peppered the house with bullets. But none came up. Saw me at the top and shot but never pursued. "Conan!" I called down. Felt fear ripping at my heart again. If he was down there, the odds of him making it out alive were slipping away by the second. "I am in here!" The boy called dutifully. His voice came from behind me. From the door I had seen the brute enter. Slipping inside, I closed it. Pushed the closest thing I could find in front of it. Which was a doll house. Large enough that a toddler could climb in and disappear. The roof of the house was a bit worn but brand new t
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 120
Nerezza's Point of ViewThe second floor of the house wasn't nearly as run down as the first floor. Held much more luxury. Paintings of people long since passed. Pieces of art. The floors were of high-quality stone. Made me feel almost guilty for walking all over them with my dirty feet. Children's toys were also scattered about. Littered the landing of the stairs. Along with the modern living room beyond. Off to the right, there was a kitchen. Neat. Clean. State of the art. Glass front cupboards lit up by lights on the inside. It almost rivaled my own."This way." The elderly lady whispered. Touched my arm briefly in passing. She lead us down a short hall. Past two other rooms with their doors tightly shut. A bathroom light was on at the far end, just beyond the third room. This was where the lady slowed down. Stopped in front of. The door had a name on it in colorful lettering. Conan.I felt my heart skip a beat. Until voices drifted into my ears. Amadeus hadn't followed us up. H
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 119
Nerezza's Point of ViewWe moved toward the light. Split up into our respective groups as we progressed. Our paws made less noise in the snow. Or maybe I couldn't hear them anymore above the pounding of my own heart. Either way, Amadeus and I remained behind the rest. Lagged a bit.From our current vantage point, I could make out two trucks closest to us. Neither looked to be filled with children, which was a slight relief. Until I realized where most of them were. In a hole, unable to ever return to their hopeful parents.Under Reginald's rule, several hundred children had vanished, seemingly, into thin air. I had a part to play in that monstrosity of negligence. Had always swept it under the rug so that he focussed on what I had wanted first. Now I came to regret it. Knew that those children had most likely been peers of Conan's later on. Priamos lead the way for Lysander's team. Curled his head left. The assassins and the heir padded off in that direction. Settled in somewhere out
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 118
Nerezza's Point of ViewConan might be in a dark and freezing hole somewhere. Trapped by other children's corpses. His soul unable to return to the goddess by proper burial. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run to that village. Scream at the top of my lungs until my son answered. But it was out of the question.I would get killed before I even made it inside the first circle of houses. Bunkers. Whatever they used to store these neglected children in. Anger mixed in with my despair. Coated my heart in a sickly black slime.They had to pay. Whether Conan was alive or dead, they had to face the consequences of their actions. Humans had long since forgotten there were monsters lurking in the dark. Had forgotten that firelight never scared us away. We would have to hunt all of them down. Every last one. Devour them.Because they had taken my son from me. The last ray of hope I had left in this life. No amount of tears would fill the hole he had left inside of me. I braced mysel
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 117
Nerezza's Point of ViewPriamos, the twins, and Lysander set out at first light. Four men innocently walking around in the jungle wouldn't spark much interest in the enemies we had more to the north. They had taken hunting bows with them. Arrows. Face coverings. No one would suspect them to be anything but four men trying to find food in this frozen wasteland.Zaven had set out to look for more firewood for the day. Or so he had claimed but I had a feeling there was something else brewing on his mind. Whatever it might have been was irrelevant. Trivial. We could deal with all the emotional fallout of the group once Conan was safely back within our reach."Have you ever fought someone before?" Kalliked asked. Shook out his black hair from some snow that had fallen on him. The snow made his caramel skin look lighter than it was. Made him seem less threatening and more clumsy. But it also made the white tattoos surrounding his neck stand out.Shaking off some of the same snowfall, I nodd
Her Six Arrogant Wolves Chapter 116
Nerezza's Point of ViewWe had drifted off to sleep. Comforted by the various warm bodies, I couldn't help myself. Felt more loved at that moment than I ever had before. It was a revelation to know that after so long, you were indeed loved and cherished. By the very men you had wronged time and time again.The goddess had known exactly who to give me. Even if I had failed to see that at the beginning. At least I was grateful now. If not for the cold then for their warmth.A persistent knocking drove me out of my slumber. I looked toward the door. Noticed the knocking turned into a frantic beat. This made me wiggle my way out of the mess of bodies. Some of them were even snuggled together. Like Lysander holding Priamos. Zaven holding Alastair. Slipping out of bed, I stared down at them. Felt my heart swell.After everything we had been through, they still remained. Devoted themselves to my happiness. To finding Conan. A few more hours of rest couldn't do anything to them but improve th
