SUZIE'S POVThe dark king's laughter resonated through the whole room, leaving me in a state of shock. He seemed unfazed by my words and the hope I had built was dissipating slowly. I frowned at him, and he looked at me, a wide grin on his lips."You think they will save you? That is the funniest joke I have heard today."I bit my inner lips as I tried to quell the anger rising in my throat. How dare he belittle my words like it was nothing? I watched him rise from the bed and walk over to one of the glass doors. He pushed them open and I sat up on the bed as my eyes followed his every movement.His rubbed his chin as he looked up to the clear blue sky. After what felt like an hour, his eyes lit up and he snapped his head to me. The smirk he had on his lips sent a shiver up my spine. This wouldn't be good.I walked back up to me and grabbed a hold of my chin, while making direct eye contact with him."I just had a brilliant idea. I'll kill those four alphas at our wedding and put thei
SUZIE'S POVCarl took off the hood from his head, and gazed at me, with a hint of joy in his eyes. I had no seen Carl in what felt like forever, and seeing that he was in good health, brought a smile to my lips. Seeing as Carl has betrayed the dark king and was working with us, I had expected the dark king to find out and kill him.I let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he was still safe.He walked forward, and shoved his hand down his pocket. Once he retrieved his hand from his pocket, a small, glass bottle was sitting in his palm. I frowned and looked up at him."What is that?"Carl grinned and rose the small vial up in the air, shaking it around softly. The light green liquid in it slushed around, making me even more curious."This is the antidote to wolfsbane. I knew the reason why you have no strength in you, is because the dark king keeps putting wolfsbane in your food and water. I am sure he has also injected it directly into you."I went solemn, as I nodded slowly."I knew i
CARL'S POVI managed to slip out of the castle and into the rear end of the palace. The back gate was a few more feet away, and it was the only way I could make my way out of the palace, undetected. But there was an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach, something that was urging me to leave this palace as soon as possible.My strides grew faster as I crossed the large field that separated the back door, from the back gate.As I kept a steady pace, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone, or something was following me. I could feel eyes on me, and that made all the hairs on the back of my neck to stand erect. As I began to run, out of fear, two large figures appeared in front of me.I stumbled back, my eyes growing wide as they were fixed on the two silhouettes. Their face and body structure was finally visible to me. My heart dropped when I realized who they were.They were part of the special soldiers, the ones who were stalking me when I visited the dark king."Well, if
SUZIE'S POVThe dark king was rather enthusiastic for the wedding, as the preparations were already underway. He sent his guards every now and then, to call me out, and have me pick out a colour for a decoration, or a specific item that would be used as decor.I hated it, but there was nothing I could do about it.The only thing that kept me going, was the fact that Blair was right beside me. He was with me all the time, and never left my side. He was the emotional support and my anchor.I stretched my arms and shifted on the bed. Blair, who was right beside me, had his hands wrapped around my waist. He held me tighter as I moved and I snuggled closer to him. It was just the breaking of dawn, and this was our usual routine.When all the guards had gone for the night, Blair would crawl into bed with me, and we would spend the night, in each other's arms. I smiled to myself, wishing this would continue. I turned to Blair and saw that he was gazing right at me."Good morning love," He gr
BLAIR'S POVIf anger was personified, then I would be the perfect example of that. This level of anger was one I had not reached, up until today. The urge to kill the dark king was at its peak, and I could not control myself anymore.How could he? How could he touch my mate and drag her away like that?The sight, the way the whole thing played out, was hard for me to watch. Ire rose up within me each passing second and it was hard to take control over myself. Now, he refused for me to follow them, making my anger reach it's peak.I was going to kill the dark king, even if it meant going down with him.I exited the dressing room swiftly, and made my way down the broad hallway. There was only one thing on my mind, and it was obliterating the dark king and his kingdom entirely. But where could I find him?My mind instantly went to the throne room, and I began to make my way there. I stopped dead in my tracks when a thought occurred to me; where was the throne room? I sighed, frustration
CARL'S POVMy eyes fluttered open, and the first thing that met my eyes was someone I was not expecting to see. His eyes were growing wide, like he had seen something so surprising."Carl!" his voice rang through the room.I shifted, and noticed that the surface I lay on was so soft, I felt like I was melting on it. I looked down to myself and saw a white blanket draped on me. I blinked, rubbing my eyes to clear the blurinesss.I pushed myself up into a sitting position and before I could do anything, Elliot wrapped me in a hug. He held me tight, and I could hear how his breath shook."I thought I lost you, I was so scared," He sighed.My heart skipped a beat for a slight second, but I did not allow myself to be swayed. I pushed him away, and waved my hands in the air."Why are you getting all mushy on me?" I asked, rolling my eyes.Elliot chuckled, taking my hand in his. "I am more than glad that you're back to your normal self. The state I met you in was terrible and heart breaking.
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes fluttered open, and they were met with a dark, cloudy sky that was all too familiar. I could feel myself floating as I tried to recall where I was, and what has happened. I looked down to my body and saw that all of it was submerged in water.That was when it clicked.I shot up and began to flap around in the pool. I was in the water, the dark king has thrown me in here. I snapped my eyes shot, ready to bear the pain, but after a few seconds of waiting, i felt nothing. No single pain.Shocked, I looked down at myself, and it is only then I realized that there was no blemish, or bruise on my body from the water. I frowned, my eyes roaming my body in search of an answer to this phenomenon.What has happened to me?I could vividly remember how the dark king tossed me into the water, and now unbearable the pain was. It was so bad that my body couldn't withstand it, and I passed out on the spot. But what had happened right after that?"Suzie."My eyes went wide and a ga
ELLIOT'S POVI sighed as I kept my eyes fixed on Carl. His feeble figure was laying in bed, draped with a blanket. Carl was breathing loudly, and his temperature was higher than usual. We had all thought Carl would be fine after he had been healed, but he was suddenly hit by a fever in the night.I brushed my hands over his sweat filled forehead and exhaled. It broke my heart to see him in this state, and I wished I could stay by his side much more longer. I had stayed up with him all night, making sure to monitor him because of how worried I was.The door to my room cracked open, and I turned back to see mother, walking up to me. She placed a hand on my shoulder and I placed a hand on hers."You know you will be departing soon," She said in a soft tone.I nodded. "I am well aware of that.""I understand that you are worried about him, but you need not worry, I will make sure he is taken care of properly."I turned to mother and gazed into her eyes. They were filled with sincerity. I
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
