BLAIR'S POVMy eyes never left her, as I gazed at her still, sleeping form. She was so still, that the only way to tell she was still alive was the soft rise and fall of her chest. She was breathing softly, but my heart broke from how pale she looked.I was angry, and sad at the same time. The whole reason she was even in this state was because of the dark king. He was tormenting her, making her stay in this state, and it hurt even more, knowing that I could do nothing about it.The dark king felt like this untouchable force. No one knew were he was and there was no way to find him, or his kingdom, and that fact angered my soul. I wanted to bring him to his knees and beat him to a pulp. How dare he desire our mate?The dark king acted like he owned Suzie, and that only made me even more enraged.I clenched my hands into a fist as I sighed. I turned my gaze away from Suzie and rose up from the chair. I had been in the hospital for a while now to check up on Suzie, while the others help
SUZIE'S POVI walked down the hallways of the palace briskly, feeling more vibrant than ever. Leon was by my side, flipping through his notepad and reading the schedule for the day. And just like that, things had gone back to normal.I had recovered fast, within a few days, due to my new found powers I got after the awakening. The moment I noticed I was feeling much better, I went straight to work. The plague was all that I could worry about, and I needed to do more research and find out how much it has affected the entire kingdom."Your highness, after your meeting now, you have to stamp a few document and examine a few items that are meant to be sent out for trading. Also, Luna Rosa requested a meeting with you."I stopped dead in my tracks and snapped my head to Leon, an eyebrow raised."Luna Rosa? Why would she want to see me? Is it another tea party?"Leon shook his head. "Apparently, she wants me to set up a meeting with you."My eyes widened a bit and I pondered on his words. I
SUZIE'S POV"And what exactly do you want to talk to about?" I asked, folding my arms as I gazed at her sternly.She kept her plastic smile on her lips and tilted her head to the side, like she was a clueless child."Do you want me to say it here? In front of everyone?"I gazed at her, and from the looks of it, she wanted to speak to me privately. Whatever it is, it must have been imported. I sighed, turning my back on her."Let us talk in my office."She giggled. "Lead the way, your majesty."I walked down the hallway, and Leon, got the hint and did not follow me. We go to my office and I walked in, Luna Rosa following closely behind me. I circled my desk, flopping down on my arm chair. Luna Rosa took a seat in front of me, her smile widening."Won't you offer me some coffee your majesty?""Cut the bullshit," I scoffed, "I can see how passive aggressive you are to me. Cuff it up. What do you want?"The smile on Rosa Luna's lips disappeared in the blink of an eye. Her green orbs went
SUZIE'S POVI stumbled, falling to the floor as I clutched my chest tightly. My eyes were wide, and I couldn't stop looking at the wound on Elliot's hand. He couldn't look at me, as he kept his eyes glued to the ground, a look of sadness and regret plastered on his face."That's not...that's not what I think it is...is it Elliot?" I asked, my voice as low as a whisper.The whole room remained silent as everyone was just as shocked as I was. I could feel sadness rising up in my chest and my throat began to fill up with tears. Elliot's esys remained glued to the ground and he refused to spare me a glance, or even talk to me.My breathing became uneven and I clutched my chest as I struggled to breath. I looked at the wound once again, and the way mucus oozed out of the red flesh that lay bare. It fit the description of what Elliot had mentioned, but a part of me did not want to believe it.Roy came to my side, wrapping a hand around me."Answer me Elliot!" I screamed, rage building up wi
SUZIE'S POVThe dying trees, the polluted air was not what I was expecting when I came down to the pack that was very close to the border of the dark side. I gazed at the millions of wolves, all lined up and walking into a lathe building.I was closed in protective gear; a rubber suit, some boots and a face helmet that had a transparent from to enable my vision. Beside me was a few guards, and the quadruplets. The plague had been the only thing we all talked about, and I discussed with a lot of Alphas, and lunas.Each alpha sent in their reports just like I had asked, and thankfully there had not been as much casualties in the packs that were further away from the border. The ones by the border however, had a high count of infected wolves and a lot death rates.The alphas of those packs had to evacuate with their families, and expressed their deepest concerns to me. Something needed to be done. I met up with every since witch doctor. They examined the pathogen and to my greatest disap
SUZIE'S POVI exhaled deeply, as I stared at the trees that whipped by us through the window of the carriage. Felix sat beside me, and so did Roy, Alex and Blair. The air was a bit tense, with unspoken words. I could not bring myself to utter a single word to them.Felix took my hand in his and his sudden action made me look at him. He kept his eyes forward, his face stoic as he squeezed my hand. I squeezed it back, hoping it would provide a little bit of assurance that my words couldn't.The brothers had all agreed to my plan, of infiltrating the dark king's palace by presenting myself to him. That way, I would be able to stop this plague and possibly find a cure for it. Although reluctant, they all agreed, on one condition; they follow me all the way, until I reached the dark kingdom.We had a plan to find out where the dark kingdom was, and that plan was to ask the only source we knew; Chris' daughters. I let out a heavy sigh, my eyes travelling forward to see the lathe sign board-
SUZIE'S POV"All your weapons, in the bag, now," One of the rogues growled.Just like he said, I reached into my pocket and began to remove everything single self defense item I had brought with me. Once I had let them know my identity, they became less hostile to me.They all gathered around me, and the first thing they asked of me, was my weapons. Although unwilling, I had no choice but to comply. I placed all the items in a bag that was set out in front of me. When I pulled out the last item, a pocket knife, I let it slip out of my hand and onto the floor.As I bent down to pick it up, I slipped out the small extra knife that was touched in the wooden part of the pocket knife. I maneuvered it into my shoe and picked up the pocket knife again."Hurry it up, we don't have all day," One of the rogues huffed.I rose up, placing the pocket knife into the bag. "Sorry about that."The rogue inspected the weapons and then turned his gaze to me. He eyed me, a suspicious look on his face. My
SUZIE'S POVMy body lay on the cold cement floor, and through the silence, the only sound that rang through my ears was the double drops of water that came from the cracked ceiling. I groaned, my eyes slipping open.My hands, which were tied stung with pain as that had been in the same position for a few days.This cell, that was deemed inhabitable, had been my refuge for the past few days. The loneliness it brought was etched on my soul, and my only companion was that roaches and spiders that crawled by me occasionally.My eyes scanned the dimly lit cell that was only illuminated by the small light that creeper through the only small window that was positioned way too high for me to reach. I looked out of the window, and saw a glimpsed of the moon, shining brightly in the night sky.I turned over, my body aching with pain. Pain was the not the only thing I felt. I felt weak, void of any ounce of strength. I knew what was taking all my strength. It was these ropes that was used to bin
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
