Once A Luna, Now A Stealer? 198. Council
CallistaTheon’s scream is raw as the guards drag me to the cage. They open the door and push me in. The metal clang of the gate closing is distinct, even with the roar of the crowd surrounding us. I feel numb. It all happens so fast after that. Farris uses his voice on the crowd to silence them again as the guards carry five heavily chained wolves into the town square. They all have ruby-red eyes that signify they are rogues. The guards open the other gates that lead to the cage and push the rogue wolves, who are already growling inside. The locks that hold the chains together are automatic. It will only take one click of a remote button to release them. I can see their blood-tinged fangs as they clash with the black of the chains, and their eyes as they stare at me like I am prey. I am frozen where I stand. No thought registers in my head except a constant, desperate voice chanting the word 'Run!" repeatedly in my mind. But where the hell am I supposed to run? I'm trapped in a c

TheonAs soon as the chains unlock, the wolves get up. They shimmy the chains off their bodies and kick their limbs to get used to standing up.Then they turn to Callista.I can't even scream as they start circling her, because my throat is locked from Farris’ order. I never ever thought that I would be the one on the receiving side of the voice of the Alpha King. It just shows more of how much of a failure I am as a leader. I fell for a forged document and risked the life of an innocent wolf, who was also my mate. I tortured her, I made her escape right into the hands of a new danger. I publicly humiliated her. I fell for her sister's scheming like some little boy who knew nothing about the world. I trusted someone who once tried to kill my freaking brother. Goddess, why were my people still loyal to me? I didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve any of it. I didn't deserve to be the Alpha King. I don't feel as weak as I did before. The damage done to my body by Wolfsbane was greatly

Callista"Take that!" I fling the chain at a wolf, and my ring guides my hand. The chain hits the rogue's snout with a firm smack, hitting hard enough to break the skin. With a yelp, the rogue jumps back, licking at his snout. "You want it too?!" I scream at the others, spiraling the loose corner of the chain. "Well, come and get it!"A rogue tries to jump at me from behind, but my amulet is more intuitive. It guides my hands and the chains whip at the underbelly of the wolf, making it fall to the ground with a thud. I cross my arms to create a shield as the rest of the wolves pounce at me, all at once. Their speed and strength work to their own disadvantage, as they hit my shield hard, flying back. "Impressive!" Farris claps from the outside, mockingly with a sardonic grin. "You almost had me there. Almost. Say, Callista, what do you think is the best thing about rogues?”He doesn’t wait for an answer. “Unless you kill them, they always get up!"Sure enough, the fallen rogues only

CallistaThe rogue wolf's teeth connect with my arm, and I cry out. My whole hand goes numb from the pain as his jaws tighten around my flesh, and blood spurts out into his mouth."No!" Ophelia yells, and a vine shoots at the wolf, tightening around his midriff."Let go of my friend!" Ophelia screams and the vines yank the wolf off my arm. But the wolf doesn't let go in time, and its sharp teeth drag through my skin. I see stars from the pain."Oh, my Goddess, Callista I'm so sorry!" Ophelia yells."It's okay," I mutter through gritted teeth, trying to see clearly through the tears that blur my sight. The rogues stare at the wolf who was thrown away by the vines.That's when the strangest thing happens. The wolf who attacked me started to convulse violently as if someone was shaking him from the inside. It makes the other rogues back away from fear. The rogue wolf starts to froth from his mouth and whimper as if he were a wounded animal. "What's happening?" Ophelia exclaims next to

TheonThe vines that are twisted around my waist literally throw me into a castle hallway through a window, right in the middle of a bunch of castle staff who scream as soon as they see me. "Alpha?!" they exclaim, gaping at me with wide eyes. "How did you do that?"I scramble to my feet, feeling as if I've gone on a roller coaster. In a way, I had. Except with vines...that moved...on their own?What?I shake my head and focus on my surroundings. I recognize the part of the castle where I am. This is the west wing, which was barricaded against the hostiles using the gates. I focus on my people, and I notice that they are all carrying things like rolling pins, brooms, iron skillets, etc. in their hands."What are you doing?" I ask them, feeling as if my mind was jumbling with everything that's just happened. A moment ago, I was chained to a pole and now I was with the castle staff, in the castle. One maid lifts a butcher's knife. "We're going to fight against the hostiles on the Gamm

TheonI punch the mouthy guard on his face, giving him a bloody nose, and use his surprise to kick him in the stomach. The guard falls on his back, groaning, and I kick him in the ribs for good measure. The guard crumples with that, curling into a fetal position. I feel a bit bad, but in hindsight, they shouldn't have come to take over my pack if they wanted to be unharmed. The hallways are filled with werewolves in both human and wolf forms fighting one another, and I try to navigate through the chaos to chase after Farris and Valencia. I'd seen them run away moments ago toward the direction of the eastern wing, and I couldn't let them escape. I had to get my power back.More and more guards still in their human forms lunge at me, and I get distracted trying to fight them all. It's not easy because although I feel better than I did before, I am still recovering."Alpha!" A maid calls next to me, pummeling a guard with a broom. "We can handle it here!

Theon"Theon, are you crazy?!" Kellin shouts as we run down a staircase that leads to the ground floor of the keep. "You can't challenge him to a duel like you are, he's the Alpha King!""I have to try, Kellin," I throw over my shoulder without breaking my stride. "That fucker used the voice about ten times for just shits and giggles. He’s got no thought of consequence at all! I can't have someone like him, a sociopath, running around holding that much power.""I agree with everything you said about Leighwen but is this the time?" Kellin grabs me by the shoulder, finally halting me. He turns me so he can look at me, wearing a very worried expression. “You’re an average wolf now, and you’re weak enough from the wolfsbane. Please, think this through. Screw honor, let’s attack him together. Let’s take him down without a duel. This is madness and you know it, Alpha!”"No, Kellin. I’m afraid this is how we have to do it,” I say. "I’ve never fought with dishonor in my life, and I can’t star

Once A Luna, Now A Stealer? 207. Sorry
TheonOnly a few minutes pass but that is enough for us to draw enough blood from each other to make the floor wet and slippery.My body hurts from all the tears and bites on it. I don't have instant healing as Callista does, so my wounds stay open for a long time with my normal werewolf healing. Farris is no better. He limps because of a rather powerful bite I delivered on his front leg. His teeth drip blood, and so does mine.I don't think I will ever forget the taste of blood in my mouth again. I get up from the floor, swallowing the copper taste in my mouth. My body protests, especially my legs. But I can't quit. He is so strong though. The strength of the Alpha King is no joke. But I have got to endure. I must defeat him. I must win. I need to get my pack back. With a growl, I collect all my strength yet again and pounce on him. As we grabble to bite and claw each other, distantly I wonder how Callista is doing. She hadn't made her way into the great hall yet, only Kellin is

TheonFarris Leighwen laughs out loud."You? Duel me?! Do you think you can win against me now, Rexellen? I’m the Alpha King here, and my strength surpasses your puny average-wolf abilities by miles. I can crush you under my palm like a bug even in my human form.""Well, then accept it," I tell him, feeling my anger rise with each second that passes. "If you're so fucking sure that you're going to win, accept my challenge and duel me!""No!" Valencia screams, interjecting. Her eyes are wide, and she looks afraid. "No, you can't do that Theon. He will kill you.""So what?" I ask. “Better yet, tell me what makes you think that you still have a say in what I can or cannot do?”"You can't die, you're mine!" she says, and I see red. "I'm not yours! I will never be yours, how many times do I have to say that before it gets through your head?!""We've known each other since we were children, and I know you inside out. We were meant to be each other’s love forever! And finally, I have the ch
