MEDIEVAL WOLFDOM;
FLAME BLOOD WOLF PACK. PRINCESS RONA CAMPBELL'S POV Tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday when I will finally shift. Well, I was pretty much excited. There are some rare bloodlines that shift at fifteen or less, but mine was not that privileged. I didn't mind it though, our wolves were very powerful. Besides, no matter the age at which you awaken your wolf, the mate function and bond remains dormant till eighteen. So why the hurry? I heard lots of people screaming. Smoke was choking me, almost as if something was burning. I was probably having a nightmare. I rolled on the bed as I tried to separate the noise from my dreams, from reality. However I couldn't. People kept crying and screaming. I began to cough severely, making me force my eyes open. The smoke was not from my nightmare, our castle was on fire! "Princess wake up!" I heard my mom shout, running into my room. The sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes, and I quickly sat up in alarm. My room was filled with smoke, and my mom was crying profusely. Her clothes were stained with blood and she looked dirty. I gasped. My mom, Luna Sophia Campbell, who cared about looks more than anything, looking dirty and messed up like this? What the fuck happened? I rushed to my window and threw it open for fresh air and immediately staggered at the sight before me. A very powerful army was before our gates; they stretched as far as the eye could see. And they were obviously invincible, not your average army. I watched those that have breached the gates and those still scaling the walls. The western gates close to my chambers, were being attacked, with a fancy looking battering ram, which tore the metallic gate with every impact. Our soldiers were obviously too weak to face these soldiers, whoever they were. They were torn apart before they could even fight, the castle was already on fire! My heart palpitated wildly as I shook. How did this happen? One moment I was sleeping peacefully, and the next moment, this? How did they cross the borders and get here in one night, without us receiving notifications from the border patrol? How did they breach the city walls easily? They cleared the entire city and entered the castle in just a few hours! It hasn't been long since I went to bed for Godess's sake. "This is not the time for this, Rona. They are hellbent on leaving no survivors in this attack. They said your father offended the Royal wolf emperor. He's here to punish us by exterminating our tribe. You're our only hope, my only child. I won't let you die with the rest. You must leave. They are already inside the castle, they're headed towards the main palace. You need to leave before they realize it," my mom said, sniffing as she hurriedly gave me a satchel, which she had obviously packed for me. "Mom, what do you mean? Let's go together" I pleaded, tears covered my eyes at the implications her words. "Don't be stupid. I'm Luna, if they can't find me, they will immediately realize someone escaped. They will find us. I don't have time to exchange words with you. I went through hell to conceive you, and I will pass through that same hell before I let anyone hurt you!" She shouted, tearing off my nightgown, and hurriedly dressing me in black silk, and then a black fur cloak. "There are clothes, food, money and a little jewel in the satchel. Use it to survive a bit. There's also a training guide to suppress your wolf. You might not know this, but let me quickly tell you since I might not get another chance to say it. You were supposed to shift at fifteen, but your wolf was too volatile. So we kept giving you drugs to suppress it, up till now you are seventeen. Your mate function also awoke on your sixteenth birthday. It was the priestess who noticed it, but you were too young to understand the feeling. We have been monitoring and trapping your wolf to protect you, but you need to shift now, to be able to protect yourself now that things have gone awry. Please be wise and very careful. There are two treasures in the bag, try to figure out their use on your own. Also, the pack's main treasures are hidden in the basement that goes down from your chambers. The wolf king will never suspect its' existence. In the future when you're settled, come back for it," she whispered, and dragged me through a series of secret corridors. I stopped as we walked past a balcony. My eyes widened at what I was seeing. A man in a golden mask and golden armor, was standing before my father, with a sword whose radiance was blindening. His cape which stretched from his back was made of expensive guanaco, silk and jewels. He was probably the Royal wolf emperor, the overlord of werewolves, whom even the Lycan king fears. His mask looked handsome with a crest on it. His lips and nose looked like it belonged to someone breathtaking. However, this monster will be far from it. He stood tall and stoic, and I hated myself for being too weak to do anything. My mom noticed that I stopped following her, and hurriedly ran back to grab my hands. "Follow me before they notice you" she whispered urgently, but I angrily pushed her hand away. My father was pushed down to his knees and made to kneel before the royal. The royal was saying something to him in anger. He kicked my father's crotch and he flew up in the air, his eyes wide with fear and pain. I gasped at the viciousness. Before my father could land back on the floor, the royal slashed out his sword and my father's head rolled off. I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out. Tears kept streaming down my eyes silently; my mouth kept opening and closing. My whole body was shaking. I heard my mother whimper and felt her dragging me through a corridor. "Make sure you find them! No one escapes!" I heard a voice order. "Oh Godess! They're looking for us!" My mother cried.RONA'S POV I was blinded by pain and wanted nothing more than to rush the evil emperor and face him myself. The fact that his men were looking for my mother and I to kill us too, meant nothing to me. My mom dashed into a secret corridor, dragging me along. She was still crying profusely. However, tears never clouded her reasoning, unlike me that was plain confused. My legs were still shaking in horror and I couldn't stop crying. "You will go to your mate's pack to take refuge, I'm sure he will hide and protect you. That's the only option now," my mom whispered, as we entered the tunnel. Mate? What mate? Since when did I have a mate? "Which mate?" I stuttered, while still shivering as she dragged me along. "Alpha Kenzo Stewart of Raven pack is your mate. It has been long we found out, but we blocked you from feeling the mate bond, according to the priestess's directions. However, Kenzo knew you were his mate and tried to claim you. He felt the mate bond during your fat
"Why will the goddess give us such a mate?" My wolf wailed in my mind. "I Alpha Kenzo Stewart, reject you princess Rona Campbell as my mate!" He said coldly. I staggered as pain blinded me, it was finally happening, I got betrayed once more. "Now get her for me!" He ordered his men. "In your dreams!" I howled as my wolf took over. My mind went blank immediately, while she took over my consciousness. What I realized next was me back on my horse, escaping in a haste. "Ara, how did you do it? How did we escape?" I asked. A series of memories flashed before me, and I saw her transform and tear the person behind us apart with her claws, before jumping over the blockades, all in a few minutes. She also sprayed something on them that momentarily blinded them, before mounting the horse. "Thank goodness your mom packed the delirious powder for us!" She said, as I increased my pace. Tears dripped down my face at Kenzo's betrayal. Even though I didn't know his identity as
RONA'S POV "Princess, princess. Princess wake up already, stop scaring us" I heard someone calling out to me. My head felt woozy as I opened my eyes. "Thank goodness" I saw a young girl, kneeling over me. She was the one who spoke. What the fuck? Where am I? I sat up and looked around. There were men dressed in guards' apparels and armor, in addition to some girls in costly maid apparel. It was obvious that they came from a very rich kingdom or pack. I looked around and saw a body of water stretching as far as the eyes could see. Wait, I fell into water? How did I end up here? Why are they calling me princess? I looked up at them. They all looked pissed off at me and resentful. As if they were being forced to do a chore they hate very much. "Princess, this is becoming too much. The Alpha king is pissed off at you. We had to search for hours before we found you floating on the lake. What if you had gotten washed into the sea before we arrived? You keep throwing silly tan
I found myself walking down a dark stairwell. I came into an abandoned garden and entered a cave. I immediately stopped in my tracks when I saw the source of the attraction. There before me, lay a girl that looks exactly like me, seemingly dead. She was dressed in white silk, almost the same design with the one I wore when I got washed up here. "Wow! You indeed look exactly like me." I heard a voice say. I looked towards the voice and gasped. The girl was standing there with a cute smile. However, her body looked semi transparent. "Who are you?" I asked, looking cautiously at her. "I'm princess Erica Miller, daughter of Alpha king Harvey Miller, of the ice flame territories. Wow, what's your name?" She asked. "Rona," I whispered. "Our names have almost the same meaning. Please help me to resurrect. I have been calling for help to no avail. The only one that could hear me was you, because we share a connection. If you help me, I will give your wolf my ice crystal, to st
CHAPTER SIX EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I watched the expressions on Erica's face flicker and change into a plethora of different emotions. She had been very happy and excited at first. However, the moment she looked up at me, her expression was replaced with fear and disgust. Despite my effort to reassure her, she was still staring at me in horror. I passed my mask silently to my Beta and reached for her. But she took a step back, avoiding my touch. My eyes narrowed in confusion and I angrily caught her arm. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you look so scared of me? What the hell is the fucking problem?" I yelled at her. "Your mask is scary. Let go of me, you look scary" she wailed, trying to reach for her maid. I looked at the mask in my Beta's hand in confusion. What was so scary about my golden mask? I sighed helplessly. She's a little girl who has always stayed locked up in her father's castle. Things that don't mean a thing to me can probably frighten her
RONA'S POV Jasmine led me upstairs, while I kept looking around. It was even more grand than Erica's palace. No, this place was a castle. A mighty one at that. We drove past numerous palaces before we got here. The street walkways were paved with marbles, there were also gardens neatly arranged along the roads and in the palaces. They were filled with exotic flowers, fruit trees and herbs. There were also exotic animals and birds in the gardens. But for some reason, they never leave the garden space to enter the streets. There were also lamps in the gardens and walkways, probably to light up the castle once it's nightfall. The gates were made of gold, brass or bronze. I could see carts filled with goods and products, driven by horses. There were also luxurious carts that had expensive curtains and leather chairs, driving around the castle. I guess they are the powerful nobles in the immortal Heaven Court. However, I'm yet to see anyone with sacred beasts or heavenly beasts or e
RONA'S POV I walked into the room and almost gasped out loud. There was a sweet fragrance in the air. The room was wide with sofas, rugs, and pink silk curtains. The bed was very huge and had pink princess curtains which were drawn back and tied to the bedpost. The bed was well made with white and pink sheets. There was a table close to the bed with a lamp stand which was supporting a pink crystal light orb glowing softly. The table was made with expensive wood, some poetry scrolls, ink, inkpad, writing feathers and paper fan was on the table. There were paintings of natural landscapes on the wall. There was also an expensive urn containing lavender flowers, a golden incense burner, golden lamp stands, the reading chair accompanying the table was cushioned with soft furs and was padded. I touched the pillows and realized they were stuffed with soft feathers. There was a huge mirror on the wall close to the reading desk. There was also a table between the two sofas. "Do you
RONA'S POV I followed Annalise around the dressing room as she admired the array of expensive clothes in the clothes section. I touched some of the fabrics, feeling impressed. "Girl, his majesty didn't spare any expense on your wardrobe. He's determined to treat you right, you're blessed by the moon goddess. Even though you didn't shift, he still found you so beautiful and attractive that he left all others and chose you. Meanwhile, other average wolfless werewolves never get a mate or husband. Even their fated mates reject them sometimes. You're damn lucky!" She said with a smile. I smiled sadly. I'm anything but lucky, same with Erica. I lost all my family to Richard's cruelty while Erica lost everything to me. She should have been lucky, but a monster took it all away. I'm probably another monster like Richard. "Look at these shoes, just see your shoe rack. They are the most expensive shoes In the world. Your boots are made with sacred beast leather. Wow! Come to the jewelry
LORD LIAM’S POVI quickly accepted the reins from a servant who had thoughtfully brought out a horse when he saw me rushing out after the alarm went off. This was one thing about the servants around me. They were trained to be very sensible and helpful. I didn't need to tell them before they did the right thing, almost as if they could read my thoughts. I quickly got on the horse while my assistant followed me on another horse. In three minutes, we arrived at division B military hospital and I rushed in. A soldier pointed to a passageway the moment he saw me, knowing the reason I came. I rushed into the passageway, and at the third door, I saw soldiers dressed in guards uniform huddled together. I immediately entered it, knowing it was definitely the right room. On the bed was a familiar young man, Alex, one of the younger rising stars in the military, just twenty years old. But he was truly powerful and efficient, making him to be promoted in quick succession. The victim was even
RONA'S POVI finally summoned the courage to practice the technique since the emperor would be gone for a few days, alongside most of his very powerful men. So it wouldn't be that easy for someone to sense my aura. I was in a secret garden, not one of the emperor's forbidden sites, but one of his secret gardens leading to a dungeon used to keep truly terrifying criminals. No one has been here in ages, so it was the perfect hiding spot. For at least five years now, that particular dungeon has been empty because no one dared to commit such kinds of heinous crimes that could deserve being locked in the underground prison yard. I was especially crafty, going out the first day Richard left, while pretending I was going for a stroll, using the opportunity to discover many short cuts back to the emperor's palace which I could use in the case of an emergency. I even found two side doors used by the servants to enter the emperor's palace. This was the best time to practice, since Richard was
I nodded, pretending to pay rapt attention. “Leo Smith is the second Gamma in charge of external affairs, right? Is he back from his task?”Annalise smiled and nodded. “Of course, he's truly handsome. All the emperor's sworn brothers look so good. There must be something in the water that makes them so ageless and handsome.”I rolled my eyes as I watched the infatuated grin on her face, her eyes dreamy with sinful imaginations. “If you utilize all the time you use to fantasize about handsome men to train, you would have been the strongest beta wolf in this castle.”“That's easy for you to say. You have one of the most handsome and devoted men in the world wrapped around your fingers. That's why you think it's no big deal. Let me tell you, getting married to someone like the gammas is the ultimate package. Alpha bloodline, so handsome, wealthy, working for the most powerful king in the world as his sworn brother, and being revered by millions. Who wouldn't want to marry them?”“It
RONA'S POVThe moment I entered my room, I quickly locked the door and collapsed on my bed, shivering with sweat all over my body. Why was this happening more and more often? My wolf even flared up before everyone around. Letting my aura seep out would get me killed instantly. No, this won't do. I need to kill Richard immediately before my cover is blown. That's right, quickly taking revenge and escaping from this hellhole before they realize it is the only way I can stay safe. The pain suddenly multiplied without warning, making me scream out. “Stop thinking about murder. The more you think about killing him, the more your wolf's murderous intent amplifies, making it easier to kill you. You have to smile, make efforts to be content and happy if you wish to survive. At all times, you must think about him with love to avoid the wolf getting the upper hand by taking advantage of the bitterness in your heart.” The strange voice came again, the same time I felt the ice jade pendant giv
OLIVIA'S POVI walk into my room, livid with anger. I can't believe Richard rejected my requests before everyone, exalting that mutt at the risk of my happiness. “Your highness,”“Leave, all of you.” I shouted, interrupting her. “Susanna, wait here.”She waited, turning to me in fear. “Stop shaking, I'm not gonna eat you. The ones I pointed at, bring them in. I hope they have been properly trained.”“Yes, your highness.” She whispered, quickly moving out to do my bidding. In a few minutes, she returns with two handsome and well built guards, and locks the door behind her. I relaxed on my couch and motioned to them. “Come here, and pay your respects to your princess.” They knelt, and the older of the two reached for my foot, delivering a kiss full of worship to them. He slowly moved up my legs, dropping kisses. He looked at me with a sexually charged gaze which sent heat down to my core and I felt myself clench. “That's it.” I whispered, closing my eyes as he removed my shoes an
RONA'S POVOlivia got angry, but quickly masked it with a pitiful expression. “Uncle, please. Just give it to me.”“I already said no. Don't make me lose my appetite.” Richard replied, not hiding his anger. Olivia hits her hands against the table, making me jump. I was not the only one startled, many others were. “Uncle!” Olivia whined, dragging her word out like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum. “But you already commissioned the moon stone to be fashioned into jewelry. It's just giving it to me earlier. After all, who else in this world deserves something so precious except me?” She whispered and batted her lashes at him. Richard gasped in exasperation on hearing her words, his face glowering. “I must have spoiled you too much to make you so narcissistic. How dare you make stupid demands of me? If I say no, it means no. Pouting and throwing a tantrum won't help your case on this issue. Give up already. You truly deserve everything good in the world, but not this.”“Uncle, stop
OLIVIA'S POVAnger, pure hot anger. How dare she tell me that the slut is Richard's wife, and therefore deserves everything? “Listen here, nothing in this empire belongs to her. She's a weak runt, forever destined to be my slave. If you dare step out of line or buzz unpleasantly in my ear, your fate would be worse. Go throw her away, and wipe that blood off the floor.” I barked, my eyes red with fury. “Please calm down, your highness.” Susanna whispered, crawling to me. I stomp hard on her hand, watching her bite her lips to hold back the pain. “Cry out!” I growl, listening to her scream. Music, sweet music, the sweetest one. That beautiful cry of pain as I squash these miserable ants beneath me was the best sound ever. “Remember this, breathing the same air I do is a privilege. So you must worship me wholeheartedly, with all you have, you must be thankful I let you live beneath me.” I muttered, not hiding the hate in my eyes. “Your highness, the palanquin is ready to carry you
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POVI sighed heavily. “The items are truly rare and extraordinary. But my wife is the subject in question. Nothing is too expensive for her. I already have some of them somewhere. As for the rest, I can procure them given some time. However, the herbs are too potent. Too much drugs accumulating in her body might cause her harm instead of healing her. We won't use all these things you listed. They're too much for an able bodied alpha king, talk more of a little girl with a fragile body. Select the most important ones. Also, if at any point I realize you inflated the amount of required herbs for some selfish reason, or added something that is not necessary, you will have to submit your life to me. I hate being lied to or tricked.” I reply with a cold smile, watching the mischievous smile on his face disappear. That's right, he should be afraid of me, I have been cutting him a lot of slacks lately, making him more audacious. “Before you tell me about the final list o
RONA'S POV“Princess, what are you talking about? Don't give up hope. We will definitely find a way to remove the seal on your wolf so that you can fully shift without pain. You just need to be patient till we find a solution. You have worked too hard to give up now. The one that sealed your wolf will get exactly what they want if you fail now.” The imperial physician shouted. “That's right, princess don't act rashly.” Annalise chipped in. As for Richard, he was too stunned to speak. “Erica.” I heard him whisper and look up at him with my tear filled eyes. And in that moment, I could swear I saw pain in his eyes, deep seated pain. “I can't hold on anymore. Help me destroy my wolf. I swear I will not pull you down. There are humans that are more powerful than wolves from cultivating internal energy. I can start cultivating internal energy and the way of the sword. If you think that totally becoming a human will cause a problem for the empire, you're welcome to kill me anytime I bec
