HENRI OF BLOODCLAW It happened so fast that Henri was presented to the court as the moonsaint draped in his robe proceeded."Henri Payne of Bloodclaw Pack you are faced with this grievous allegation of adultery with the king's concubine, how will you answer to this treachery?"Henri’s face burned with indignation as he addressed the court. "This is madness," he spat, casting a fierce look across the assembly. "Instead of wasting time on these fabricated lies, you should be searching for Princess Darcy!"Henri had no time for this little drama brought up by Aric, He was desperate to know the condition of the missing princess, especially since Alpha Axel has been gone for days now and there were no message or orders from him.Axel had told him not to lift a finger since he was gone until he returns back with Ava alive, and now his daughter has been kidnapped to the same enemy he risked his life to deal with.He doesn't know what to decide on, he could have raised armies against the Da
AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in
AVA KILLIANAva watched as the Grand Maester and the physicians tended to Alpha Axel in his chamber. He was lying there unconscious, and just beside him was Darcy. The Grand Maester had checked her and told Ava she was merely in a state of shock due to the cruel number of acupuncture needles used on her, and she would recover soon.This gave Ava a breath of relief as the Grand Maester continued to decoct the poison antidote. Though he had given Axel a series of neutralizers, the physician worked on the several fatal injuries on his body.All the injuries were inflicted by Cahir: the unhealed gashes from the Death Pit and the wound from the poisoned arrow that took him down.As the physician removed the arrow, which was about an inch deep into his arm, Ava's heart ached while the other nurses applied pressure.Suddenly, a familiar voice shot into the room."Oh! My king, you are back! Thank the Goddess, I have been so worried—you can't imagine to what extent," Kaila exclaimed as she dra
AVA KILLIAN "You'll do no such thing," a voice broke in—it was Henri's. Ava could see the shock on Kaila's face when she heard Henri walk into the room. Shouldn't Henri be dead by now? "You! You? How did you escape?" Kaila asked, her brows furrowed. "You should leave, Kaila. The king's health is paramount. Don't yell here," Henri said. "You can't tell me what not to do! Let this woman be locked up at once! You do not have the authority to command me around," Kaila yelled as the guards walked toward Ava. Ava stepped backward, seeing that Kaila held significant power over them after being made Queen Consort. "Don't you dare touch the king's..." Henri started but paused, thinking of what to call Ava—whether the king's slave or mate. The king hadn't yet pronounced her his mate. "Don't touch her!" Henri simply said, and the guards halted. Jared Ashtower came in and slipped his hand into Ava's. The slight touch sent shivers down her spine as she looked up at his handsome face. "I'll
The garden lake lay quiet and serene, its surface shimmering under the late afternoon sun. Ava often wandered here when she needed a moment of peace, a chance to breathe in the calm beauty of nature away from the watchful eyes of the palace.As she stepped around a curve in the path, she stopped abruptly. Just a few feet away, by the edge of the lake, stood a small figure—Prince Ansel. He was crouched by the water, tossing stones and watching as they splashed and disappeared into the depths. Ava hadn’t expected to see him here, but she smiled, thinking perhaps it was a chance to make a gentle introduction.“Hello, Your Highness,” she greeted softly, stepping forward so he would notice her.The young prince looked up, and immediately his expression shifted. His gaze grew cold, startlingly so for a child his age. He stood, brushing his hands off on his fine tunic, his mouth curling in distaste.“So, you’re the king’s *slave*,” he said, his voice sharp and accusing. "Mother said that’s w
AXEL VOSS It had been over a week and there was no sign of Axel waking up from his unconsciousness, the maester's and the physicians never left his side for once. Working hard for the recovery of the king, Both using the medical and ancient methods, Apparently the poison Cahir had shot him with was unlike any they'd ever seen—a foul blend of aconite-wolfsbane and silver powder, Lupine’s Bane, crafted to hunt him. It leeched through his blood, burned his muscles, suffocated his bones.. This had essentially destroyed his regenerative ability and rendering him unconscious for this long, and worst preventing any natural recovery. Inside his mind, a storm of memories came. Axel was trapped in a pit of despair where past horrors played on an endless loop, darkened visions seared into his closed eyes. His consciousness was fractured, seized by the primal instinct of his wolf nature, but unable to release him from the cage of his human pain, as his mind still swirl and suffer the ordeal
AVA KILLIAN Ava’s eyes slightly open, barely slits, enough to glimpse the physicians hovering around her battered body. Pain flared through her every limb, a raw and relentless ache that turned even the slightest movement into a fresh torture. Fractured memories tore through her mind, replaying the ordeal of the night before—a night consumed by the monstrous rage of Alpha Axel. Alpha Axel had become something else, something far darker than she’d thought possible. Any trace of humanity in his gaze was snuffed out, replaced by an icy void that left her shocked in terror. His heart, if he still had one, had calcified into unfeeling stone. The hatred she saw in his eyes that night wasn’t human; it was a venomous fire, far beyond anything she’d ever seen. He had changed to an entire new beast, And it looked like all his hatred for her had only become heightened. Ava had thought she was beginning to understand Axel, she thought she was beginning to build something, at all a trus
AVA KILLIAN "Would you kill me for ?" Ava asked and Jared was taking aback for a second, it was a knight's duty to protect, and even kill anyone who poses harm to those under their protection.He took it that way and replied."Ofcouse I would." Jared had said.Ava had now somehow left the palace in protection of Jared, "For me to trust you and your words, you should be able to at least keep this little secret with you" Ava had said to him. And Jared kept to his words and illegally brought Ava outside the palace to the ocean's shore where ashes of the dead, the ashes of capital sinners, and unclaimed body were disposed.Layla's ashes was most probably disposed there too, She wanted to visit Layla's resting place first, and make her promise to her. Ava took a deep breath as the ocean stretched before her, the breeze blowing on her face and for a brief moment she could perceive that sweet scent of Layla. Her kindness, her loyalty. Dieing unjustified like that made her heart ache, she
Note : Chapter will be fixed check later"I was humiliated by Sebastian's words, not just now but ages ago. He says some words that hurt you unaware, but would he be late before he realises it? The girl Chloe is truly talented at least." Sebastian should respect Zayne's code of conduct that he doesn't like girls; why will he sign a girl to his record label? This will probably bring more hatred for girls; we just have to leave him now till he feels a thing for girls."You should get used to me by now that I don't mince words. I'm so sorry!!"He followed me to the construction site.Where I usually take fresh air and throw pebbles into the clean river, mostly used for a pool by the students..."Please, Felix," he pleaded and pleaded and pleaded."Ok, ok!!"I said..."Yasss, that's my Felix.""Let's swim in this cool pool."I said,"I don't want to get wet now; I preferred the artificial pool.".Sebastian excused,"Hummm!! Tell me you can't swim; stop lying.I revealed,"Good, you know."
“Note:- Chapter will be Fixed”Chloe's POV: I finished my work for today, and I bade Ella goodbye and left for my home. I bade the security man as well; I stopped a cab, and it waited, and I entered. It carried me to the address I gave him, which was my home. I walked to our house door, pressed the doorbell, and it rang, and Nicki rushed out as she almost bumped into me. She looks stuffy as she stuck chicken's lap in her mouth. "Huh, welcome, miss," Nicki said. "Thanks," I said with a smile. "Where's sister? "I asked, "I'm here; welcome, she said as she stepped out of her room. "How was the work? "She asked, "Good." I said as I quickly remembered the memories I see lately, "Sis, I'm confused about something that happens to me lately, I said, "Huhh??!! What's that?" she asked with a worried face. "I usually see someone else's memory lately," I said. "Hmm!! Was that not imagination? Or reflection to the stories you've read," she said. "No,not at all." "Really?? "Yes, I'm sure," I sa
AVA KILLIAN Ava’s heart thudded against her ribcage as Kaila stepped further into the room.Kaila's gaze swept over the lively scene—the children engaging, Axel standing tall with his stoic calm, and Ava still clutching Darcy protectively in her arms.Kaila’s lips curled into a polite smile, but her eyes glittered with something darker, Just yesterday Kaila had humiliated her with Old Nan Yenn, that they made her question her own sanity.Is she here to complete the disdain, or is she here to check if she had killed herself and end the supposed madness? Anger crackled through Ava's heart.“What a lovely sight,” Kaila said, her tone warm and deceiving, Ava could see through her hypocritical tone, “It’s good to see the children so full of life, isn’t it, Ava?”Ava stiffened. There was a deliberate sharpness to Kaila’s words, like she had something up her sleeve, Ava needed no one to tell her Kaila had something on her for her to visit her room in the first place.Kaila turned to Axel,
AVA KILLIAN Ava felt the deep feeling of being used, a deep feeling of being cheated; anger boiled in her, but at the same time she felt helpless. What gnawed at her inside was the fact that she had thought Jared was genuinely nice to her; it hurts to see he never was. It hurts to realise he had put on that mask and waited for her weakness in order to penetrate. He was a predator. It shouldn't have been him. Ava strutted through the palace, and eyes were on her, their whispers trailing her like ghosts, but their pressing glare wasn't what concerned her now; let them watch, let them judge; she had a bigger demon to face. On reaching her room, her fingers trembled slightly against her cold doorknob as she twisted and opened it; at least she could lock herself in her room, alone, and cry till there were no tears left to cry. Instead, she was met with a sight that she would never expect; she'd never anticipated this. Alpha Axel sat comfortably on her bed, ease with a loving war
AVA KILLIANAva slept through the night and woke up the next morning. Her head throbbed, a consequence of the hangover from the drinking.As her consciousness sharpened, she realized she hadn’t just drunk excessively the night before—she had done something unholy. She could remember the heat, the desperation, the way she was touching herself. It was all vivid, raw, and wild.But when she looked down, her breath hitched. She was completely naked.Her heart leapt into her throat as she scanned her body. There were faint marks across her skin—reddened patches along her neck and thighs, subtle impressions of fingers, mouthing, and nibbling.Ava’s jaw dropped as the memory came back clearly. A man came in. She saw Alpha Axel—he looked godly, like he was in her dream, coming to rescue her.But no… This wasn’t a dream. This was real.The memories returned in detail: this man’s lips trailing across her body, his hands gripping her waist, the raw connection of flesh and heat. It was definitely
AVA KILLIAN Ava was dragged out of Nan Yennefer's quarters, Her desperation, coupled with rejections and restrictions has truly shifted her so close to the edge of madness.Imagine being called a mad person for so long, You start to believe you were truly mad, you start to see everything you do as madness. Ava needed a lone time for herself, she needed sanity, A place that a knight was not always beside her to watch her, a place all these hostile bitter people are not around... as she took to her heels at once, running away to a place she doesn't know, so sudden that Jared was not expecting.Ava’s breath came in ragged gasps as she ran through the dimly lit halls of the castle. Her silver hair whipped behind her like a silken banner, and her bare feet slapped against the cold stone floors. Somewhere in the distance, she could hear Jared calling her name, his voice echoing with worry. But she didn’t stop. She couldn’t. The walls seemed to close in around her as the whispers of “m
AVA KILLIAN"I should have calmed. I should have... No." Ava panicked as she paced up and down her room. Jared just stood there, watching how pretty she looked. Even in her panicked state, she still exuded this allure that sent any man into a dreamlike trance. She was dangerously alluring. "I kicked the King. I kicked the Alpha King of the Realm. Do you know what that means, Jared?" "Execution, I’d be executed!” Ava’s weary voice broke out. "Calm down and take a deep breath. I know how you must feel now. But trust me, you could have been executed in that instant. If anyone even attempts to hurt the King, they get executed on the spot. But you actually did hurt the King, and Ser. Henri left you unscathed? You should still have hope," Jared said. Ava sat on the two-seater couch in her room, her elbows on her knees, her hands covering her face, and her fingers running through her flowing silver hair as she cried. Her tears were more about being stripped of her maternal rights
AXEL VOSS“I am their mother, and no decree of yours will ever change that.”Axel’s hand shot across her throat at once, clamping tightly as she tried hard to break free from his grip. Her eyes remained defiant; she wouldn’t falter or give him the slightest satisfaction of seeing her cry.“You are now crawling out of your shell, Ava,” he said. Ava smirked, her breath caught in her throat, but it was not as painful as the agony of not being able to see her children.“Does it hurt you so much that you cannot see my children anymore? Or are you hurt that you cannot pass your family’s madness to them?” Axel growled, and Ava was already pinned tightly to the wall.His eyes hovered over hers, domineering and intimidating, but she wasn’t submissive this time. Ava fought back—her leg flew upward in a flash, striking Axel’s manhood squarely.Axel roared in pain and released his grip at once. She fell to the ground from mid-air, met with the sound of Axel’s groans. Henri arrived just then, watc
AXEL VOSS Axel studied the map intently while Henri stood beside him, steady and composed. "So... Cahir Cole visited the Bluemoon Pack seeking an alliance?" Alpha Axel asked, and Henri nodded affirmatively. "Yes, Your Majesty. He has been desperate ever since you left his territory. My little bird from the Bluemoon Council told me the Alpha of the Bluemoon Pack was Cahir's childhood friend. However, he didn't accept his alliance. The Bluemoon Pack is loyal to you and the realm," Henri said. "You can't totally say that. Childhood friendship is strong. He will falter to his friend sooner or later," Alpha Axel said. "But, Your Majesty, the Bluemoon Pack has been loyal to the House of the Lycans for ages," Henri said. "That is the House of the Lycans. The Bluemoon Pack was once the BloodClaw Pack's enemy. And what will happen now that an Alpha of the BloodClaw Pack has seized power in the House of Lycans?" Axel asked tactfully. "It means we can't totally trust the Bluemoon Pac
