I WAS TAKEN back to our room by Lucien after our conversation with Aurora. He advised me to take a rest considering what transpired today. I also expressed my worry about the upcoming battle. I confessed to him that I'm frightened about tomorrow and the days ahead. We are still unsure of when our enemies will attack us. "Don't worry too much, sweetheart. I already made a plan the day we got here," he assured."What plan?" I asked."There's a hidden room here and I asked Markus and Synth to ready it for you." He kissed me on the lips after he said those. "What do you mean? Do you plan to hide me in there?" I asked in disbelief. Lucien inhaled deeply and kissed my hands. He said he doesn't have a choice and that I can't leave Vinfort without being discovered. Lucien also stated that he no longer trusts the Council, but he and Markus have devised a backup plan in case something goes wrong."I'll send out a carriage tonight with your scent to make them believe you left Vinfort," he sai
NOTE: This chapter is written in 3rd POV.PACK WAR (PART I)"LUCIEN? WHAT HAPPENED?!" Ysobella asked with anxiousness. "D*MN IT! Sweetheart, we need to leave now!" Lucien said while taking the pouch he gave her before. "Aurora said that the enemies are going to attack tomorrow night but they saw the counselor's wife leaving. They thought we were trying to escape, f*ck it!" Lucien added angrily. Ysobella's breathing is erratic, and her hands are trembling. She refrained from asking any more questions and followed Lucien in silence to the underground chamber where she planned to remain until the chaos subsided.Lucien said it is going to be a one-night war. It means after this night, whoever is left standing wins this battle. Lucien also reassured her that it is not going to be a Blood War. All living beings from the bordering lands, including the defenseless, will engage in battle if it is a Blood War. But this evening is different because it's a Pack War. A war between the wolf pac
LUTHER WATCHED FROM afar as Lucien's fangs and sharp claws ripped his enemy's throat. He hasn't shifted into his wolf form yet but his strength is undeniably extraordinary. On the other hand, Synth and Drago are fighting the prisoners who escaped. But no amount of beastly strength can stop both the Alphas to defeat their enemies. "Tsk. And here I thought those miscreants are useful," Luther muttered while shaking his head with disappointment. Lucien is talking with Nereza through their mind link. He gave her orders regarding their second plan. They plan to lure the rogues into the forest where five different carriages are waiting. Atticus, Aurora, and the triplets are going to drive the carriage.The first carriage is laced with Ysobella's scent while the rest of the carriage is laced with the Elders' scent. Once they reached their destination the warriors from Aveion will take care of the rest. Raven may not be present, but Lord Gregory did not forget to send their warriors to h
PACK WAR (PART II) 3rd POV"CARNAK! YOU'RE STILL alive?!" Counselor Brack uttered in surprise. "You, traitor! You'll pay for what you did!" the counselor added with rage.But the man named Carnak mockingly laughs at the counselor. "Don't play fool out of me! And how dare you involve the Luna of Crescent Moon Pack with your evil scheme?! You're the traitor here, not me!" Carnak spits at the counselor. "Stop spitting nonsense, cretin. You're the traitor!" The counselor then faced Ysobella. "Don't believe any word he says, Luna Ysobella. He will only hurt you," he added. Ysobella is now confused. She doesn't know who to believe. The two sound convincing but she knows that only one speaks the truth. "Luna Ysobella, listen to me. The counselor is the traitor," Lord Carnak convinced."Stop spitting nonsense, Carnak! You've been working in the Council for so many years now and yet you still chose to betray us!"Ysobella's forehead formed a knot. She doesn't know who to believe. Or do I r
"THANK YOU, ALPHA Raven," she uttered with a warm smile."I should be the one thanking you, if it weren't for you and the counselor we wouldn't have found out who the traitor is," Raven uttered with gritted teeth.Clarrise can feel how angry the Alpha is. She's also disappointed by Lord Carnak's betrayal. If her uncle did not accidentally overhear Lord Carnak talking with the rogue they caught, they wouldn't have found out the truth. She wishes to press further questions so she opens her mouth to speak but her words were left unsaid when Drago loudly clears his throat. "Are you okay, Drago?" Raven asked with worried. But Drago only gave him a cold look before he averted his gaze."Wake him up," Drago refers to Lucien whose still lying unconscious.Clarrise swallowed the lump in her throat before waking Lucien. They need to wake him up before they are discovered by another group of enemies. Raven noticed her hands trembling as she was about to inject the needle into Lucien, so he gra
FOR MY KING (3rd POV)"NO WEAPONS. JUST our strength and our claws," Lucien uttered but Luther only gave him a sly smirk.In a swift move, the two men lashed out at each other with raging eyes. Luther tried to claw Lucien in the face, but Lucien blocked him by gripping his hand, so Luther clawed him with his free hand.After that, Lucien fell to his knees, but before Luther could attack him again, Lucien swiftly dashed behind Luther and kicked him in the back.Luther flew close to the edge of the cliff, but he managed to get back up. He laughed as he wiped the blood from his lips. He then attacked Lucien again, and the two of them continued to throw hard punches at each other.The others observed as the two men punched one other. Despite how quickly they were moving, their gaze followed every action they make. They desperately wanted to step in and help, but they are aware that this conflict only involves Luther and Lucien.They cannot, however, dispute the fact that the two men are i
"PLEASE! I'LL DO anything. I can't lose him." Ysobella's hands began to tremble. She can feel the pain getting worse. But Luther has the tonic so she can't give up now. Lucien wanted to protest, but he lacks the strength to do so. A dark spell has been cast on the silver arrow that struck him. He knows this because he can feel the arrow slowly dipping into his skin, and the silver arrow will finally reach his heart in a few seconds. "N-No..." that was all Lucien can say. Ysobella gasped sharply when she heard Lucien speaking. "Please, l-let me d-do this. I know that you're trying to fight the pain because you don't want to share it with me." She smiled with grief. "I didn't even know it was possible but please... let me fix things for us. You can't d-die on me." "Are you sure you will do anything?" Luther asked her sternly. "Yes! Just save him." Slowly, Luther took a pouch from his pocket and showed it to Ysobella. Ysobella tried reaching for it but Luther shook his head.
NOTE: This chapter is now written in 1st POV.HER FATEWHAT IS GOING on? My eyes squinted. My head then began to spin as I attempted to remember what had occurred. My vision became hazy at that point. I attempted to think again while stroking my temple. Different scenarios soon began to flash through my mind.The war, Lucien, and Luther.A sharp gasp escaped my mouth when the realization finally struck me. I was shot! An arrow hit me! With my trembling hands, I slowly touched my stomach. I then lifted my hands and I sobbed in fear when I realized that my hands are stained with my own blood. I tried to rose from the floor. I don't even know where I am. I wander my eyes around the place and realized that I am with no one. Still, I tried calling for help. "Lucien? Where are you? H-Help... our baby..." I cried while clutching my stomach. "Help! Anyone? Please!" I begged once more. I moved forward in the hope of getting help from this strange place. But I can't help but noticed that e
