Estelle POV“Follow me,” she said. Kion followed her, and they came out of the other end of the cave. My mouth hung open at the scenery; it was so beautiful. Kion looked around, obviously not familiar with this place. It was a really beautiful beach. No one was here; the waves make a soft noise as they slide to the beach tide. I looked over the greeny and tall mountain. I smiled, closing my eyes as the dancing coconut trees give the beach a peaceful look. I took a deep breath and the scent of nature was amazing. How beautiful this place is!“Where are we, and who are you?” Kion asked, staring down at her. She smiled.“My name is Aurora, and I like to call this place my home,” she said. So, Kion met Aurora when she was younger. I bet she had forgotten about him because she only met him once and she was young, too.“How did you discover this place?” he asked.“Well, I was running a little errand for my master, and a forest fox had stolen something that belonged to my master. I chased it
Estelle POVAurora was his favourite slave; he adored her, although his love for her was toxic. When he found out she always left the house and refused to tell him, he grew angry, and that was when Aurora’s troubles started. He would beat her and touch her inappropriately. Kion wasn’t aware, but he grew worried, and he never asked who her master was. One night, her master had once again come to her room, passed out on the bed, and she took up her clothes and washed them up. Weakly, she went to see Kion. “What happened to you, Aurora? I haven’t seen you in three months!” he yelled. Aurora looked up at him with broken eyes as she struggled to stand on her own.“I just want you, Damien,” she mumbled, falling into his arms. Damien was suspicious, but he didn’t question it. I was far away from them, but I knew Aurora spent her night well with who she loved. The next morning, she was gone before Kion could wake up. That was the last time he saw her, as she was locked up by her master, who
Estelle POV“Are you okay?” I heard a soft voice.“W.water,” I mumbled, my throat dry. I could feel someone moving around, and when I was given the water, I gulped it down hungrily. I breathed out, blinking repeatedly. I looked up, and I was in an unfamiliar room with Queen Aurora beside me.“Welcome back,” she said, smiling. I remembered everything I saw, and the only person I wanted to see was Aurelian.“My mate,” I mumbled. She opened her mouth to talk, but the door flew open, and Aurelian ran inside. He ran to me, seat on the bed, and took me into his warm arms.“You are awake,” he mumbled, breathing out in relief. “I will excuse you two,” Queen Aurora said, but we ignored her. All I could remember was his broken look as he stared at the Aurora portrait, tears running down his face. I held him tight, my heart beating for him, even though I knew it was a forgotten memory. We didn’t exchange any words, but just held each other tight. He breathed a sigh of relief, kissing my head.“
Estelle POVIt was the next day, and Aurelian held my hand as we walked down the hallway. I woke up this morning, and Aurelian didn’t even allow me to freshen up. He wet my body with his powers and dried me up so I felt refreshed, then he allowed me to change my clothes, which made him more angry as he inspected me. I looked in the mirror, and I truly did lose weight. I looked small; the only thing big in my body was my bump, and it is not healthy. I don’t look healthy enough to carry a pup; how did I lose so much weight?Aurelian gripped my hand tightly, but it didn’t hurt. We were approaching the living room for the guests, and we could get their scents. Which makes Aurelian more angry. We kept walking, and we went to the front of the palace, where the king and queen stood beside a carriage. King Titus looked a bit afraid. Queen Aurora had a poker face on, but I could see the fear in her eyes. Aurelian was totally in beat mode, his canines out and his eyes gold. Black fur covered hi
Estelle POV“What did you mean, nutrient?” I asked, sitting up.“Lycan pups are hard to carry. They grow fast while in the belly, making the mother weak, and they also feed on energy. The only way to survive is to eat enough nutrients and also feed on your mate. But she put you in a sedative state; you can’t eat; Aurelian can’t also help; you could have died,” she said. Why am I just hearing this? Is this what happened with Rose also? “Yes, that is what happened with Rose; you would have died even if we didn’t get beaten up. She was feeding on your energy; beating you up only made the process faster,” Aurora said. Knowing this, I was suddenly angry, but I swallowed it.“Maybe she didn’t know,” I said. “Of course she knew everything the king and queen of every kingdom known to supernatural mankind knows. This was a rule passed on for generations, so other kingdoms were aware and war could be avoided. Just like how we know witches are not to eat certain foods while carrying their youn
Estelle POV“Please, Aurelian, I know she did wrong, but let’s all focus on Kion first; after that, we can do something about the witches,” I said. He gave me a long look.“Please, Kion is more dangerous to us all. After that, you can go after the witches, and I won’t stop you,” I said, placing my hand on his cheeks. He breathed out, then took me in his arms, sitting on the couch. He dipped his face in my neck, taking in my scent as he held me tight, but not uncomfortably tight. I brushed his hair.“I want to kill that bitch,” he mumbled. I nod my head.“You can do it after we take care of Kion,” I said. He breathed out again, cooling off. Then he pulled back and gave me a long look.“We have to put a lot of meat into you,” he said. I smiled.“See, there are other things we need to focus on,” I said. He rubbed my stomach.“Promise me one thing,” he said. I looked at him, wondering what.“What is that?” I asked.“When I finally decide to call war on the witches, do not stop me,” he sai
Estelle POVI slowly opened my eyes, and I was not in my room. Instead, I was in a field. Okay, seriously, I am tired of seeing this field, all familiar but at the same time different.“I’m sorry to bring you here, Queen Estelle,” the familiar voice said. I turned around, and Queen Aurora stood there, looking at me. I didn’t know if I should be angry or calm, so I looked at her without saying anything.“I know you have all the right to be angry with me, but I need to talk to you,” she said. “Why?” I asked. She breathed out.“I knew the Lycan King wouldn’t have listened to me if I had told him the dangers of what I was about to do,” she said.“So you decided to put your kingdom at risk?” I asked. She smiled.“I don’t mind if the king wants to go to war with us; we would fight back, but first let Kion be out of the way,” she said. I smiled.“You are awfully brave, Queen Aurora,” I said. “We are not as weak, Queen Estelle,” she said formally.“Why have you brought me here?” I asked. “
Estelle POVI walked down the hallway, looking for Felix. It’s been two weeks, and everything has been calm. I have been eating a lot, and I am slowly gaining weight. Aurelian has been busy; he is still on the edge, but it has reduced. He can’t be with me the whole day, but he checks up on me from time to time. I am tired of sitting around, so I am looking for Zira, but I have no idea where she is, and Felix’s mind link is blocked.“You are the queen and more powerful than him; break into his mind link,” Aurora said, rolling her eyes at me. Now, why didn’t I think of that? I stopped walking, focusing on Felix. His mind link was blocked, but I forced my way in.“Felix!” I screamed into his mind. I giggle, literally feeling him jump in fear.“What the fuck!” he screamed back at me. I rolled my eyes at him.“Where is Zira?” I asked. But he blocked me back. How dare he?“Felix!” I yelled, crossing my arms.“For fuck’s sake, Estelle!” he yelled.“Where is Zira? I need her,” I said.“Zira i
Estelle POVA shrill cry from my pup rang in the ward, and I breathed a sigh of relief, slumping on the bed.“It’s a boy!” Aunt Clara exclaimed, carrying him up. I looked at the boy with a head filled with black hair as he cried out loudly. “Bring him,” I said with a hoarse voice. Tears were running down my face as I sat up weakly. I have been in labour since the previous morning, and now it’s the next day and in the evening. The labour was extremely long; I was in serious pain, and the doctors were confused as the pup wasn’t coming out. Aurelian was chased out because he started panicking and screaming at the doctors, and he and his aunt had to take control of everything. After those long, painful hours, I felt happy as I finally settled into my arms.“It was worth it,” I cried, rubbing his head. He squirmed around in my arms, his eyes closed. Aunt Clara covered him up, and his cries gradually decreased. I smiled at his chubby cheeks and patiently waited for him to open his eyes.He
Aurelian POVWe stopped in front of a cave, and I kept standing here.“We have been riding for too long; what is going on?” Felix asked. I smiled.“I am waiting for Estelle to direct us,” I said.“Estelle, I thought you said you were going to keep her safe?” Aunt Clara asked.“Yes, but she can’t lie to me. I know she would be up to something; Estelle can’t just stay out of everything,” I said, coming down from the horse. I walked to the cave, and I felt the energy again—very dark energy.“The energy is dark,” Aunt Clara said. I nod my head.“This is where he is hiding,” I said.“We don’t have any witches to help us break it,” Rodney said. I smiled.“We wait for Estelle,” I said. I was worried about her, but on our journey here, I realised I shouldn’t have wanted to lock her up. I can’t shield her from this war; it is all about her and what Aurora has passed on to her. I was worried about our pup and her. I don’t want anything to happen to them, but I am happy she wants to do this as a
Third-person POVEstelle and Queen Aurora got to the front of the cave, and they stood there. Ophelia was still finding it hard to find Estelle; she had grown more worried and unsettled as the feeling increased. Kion has spent his time with his daughter, Maven, who has no idea what is happening around her. “Where is Aurelian?” Estelle whispered to Zira, who was on her horse beside her.“They are 30 minutes away from the second entrance; why did you make us stand here?” she asked. “I want him there earlier,” she answered, looking at the entrance. Just exactly how it was, but she could feel the energy coming from it; this is what Aurelian must have felt to know something was blocking him off.“Break it,” she said to Zira. Zira climbed down from her horse and walked to the entrance. Breeze blew them harshly as Zira brought her hand out to suck in the energy.“Wait,” Queen Aurora said from her horse coming down. Zira turned to her, confused.“There is dark energy sealing the spell; stan
Third-person POVHorses rode roughly as Aurelian led his troupe. His warriors and generals all follow behind him. The ground shook, and the branches on the trees all moved violently as the horses and sturdy legs collided with the soil. The smaller packs, aware of what was happening, stayed in their packs nervously as the king and his men passed. Everyone was nervous; families prayed to the moon goddess for their sons following the king’s army. It was finally time for war, which would determine a lot for the wolves and the world.“It’s nice to see you again, Queen Estelle.” Meanwhile, in another place stood Estelle and her troupe of warriors, which she arranged without her mate knowing. A black robe wrapped around her neck, her hair blowing gracefully behind her. She was dressed in a black jumpsuit with armour covering her arms, chest, and legs. They all can’t deny how strong her aura is; even Queen Aurora could feel it. Well, the night was dangerous, and Estelle wasn’t holding back he
Estelle POV“Everything is set; we move tomorrow night,” Aurelian said as we lay on the bed. “I thought you didn’t want me to know?” I asked. He breathed out.“Well, I don’t want you to know to protect you and our pup. Tomorrow you and Zira will be in the secret bunker; you two seem close these days, and she is a witch,” he said. I breathed out again. Well, it’s been a month, and Aurelian and his men found a loop for Kion, but it’s not really a loop. It’s a fake loop, Zira, and I put in to make them go to another place. We have set our motion in motion, and Aurelian doesn’t have any idea what I am doing. I just hope we come out victorious and everyone is safe.The past one month has been very hectic. I was bust just the same way Aurelian was busy, but he doesn’t know. It was hard doing some things without him knowing; I had to threaten a few people. I just hope everything really goes according to plan.“Can Zira break the man’s cave from inside? Just you know I aunt Clara can get to
Estelle POVI looked at the men training; they were training hard, their bodies drenched in sweat.“The king is not backing down; he is training these warriors hard,” Zira said, sitting beside me. I nod my head. I am actually surprised, but I shouldn’t be. He is the Lycan king and has been one for years; he has been to many battles and has won; this wasn’t his first time.“Nothing from Kion?” she asked, whispering very low. I shook my head. “I am a bit worried,” I said, smacking my lips. It has been 2 weeks, and I haven’t heard anything from him. Aurelian has refused to include me in anything concerning the war, but Adrain updates me. They have no idea where he is; they are trying to track him but always end up blocked. I know it’s because the beach is hidden, but I feel proud. They know Kion is near, but something is restricting them.Aurelian is really a great king, smart, calculative, and powerful. The best king the wolves could ever have. But I really don’t want this war. I feel
Estelle POVZira and I stood together as we watched Kion sleeping on the bed, comfortably and naked.“He is causing ruckus out there, but here he is sleeping like he is dreaming of angels,” I smeared, shaking my head in disappointment. Zira giggled.“The Lycan royalty are such a fine specimen; he looks like a god with that face and toned body,” Zira said dreamily. I don’t blame her; the three brothers are handsome with unique features; if only they were all on the same side, they would have been unstoppable. I sighed, twirling my hand, and Kion jumped up in shock as the steamy water hit his skin. He was about to yell out in anger, but I used my powers to seal his lips. He looked in our direction, and his eyes widen in shock and slight anger.“We won’t want to alert the guards outside,” I said, smiling. He growled.“What are you doing here, and how did you get here?” he snapped.“Well, I got here with the help of my friend here,” I said, gesturing at Zira.“Hi,” she said, waving. He gl
