Ninety Xander "You and that witch slut let your sister get away!" He growled into my face, his eyes red like they always get when he was filled with wrath. Aurora ran away with the help of Hazel, and now we were going to be on the recieveung end of my father's wrath. Aurora- no, calling her that reminds me of who she wasn't. She was Naomi, not princess Aurora. The latter died a long time ago. My heart hurt as I recalled my mother die. Everything tied to her had to die too, including the memories I held on to. From now, there was no more princess Aurora. She only exists in those memories. Naomi ran away few days ago, and that, coupled with the king's favourite dog, Leo's death, the whole kingdom had been too hot to stay in. Hazel suggested we run away on that day, but there was nowhere we could run to without getting caught on short notice. We decided to take the chance. It was better than waiting for my father to slaughter us bothe, especially Hazel because she aided Naomi,
Ninety-One Seth The smell of rotting flesh reached my nostrils with a bang. The ten soldiers were almost changed into their wolf form, their bodies turning into the way the rogue that attacked them looked. Their eyes were foggy and distant, and each of them were changed together, to stop them from attacking other wolves. "What in the hell?" I muttered as I examined them with a thorough look. They were all under a trance, just like the rogue looked. "Those are our soldiers, Seth. And now they've been bitten by that monster outside, turning them into this." Their eyes were beginning to lack the humanity that eyes often had in them. They looked wild and possessed, I found the answer to my question. "Dark magic." I whispered, feeling my heart sink in the pit of my belly. Luke nodded, "You are right. It is dark magic. That's what the healers said." I folded my arms across my chest, "Did They say what we could do?" Luke shook his head, "Dark magic can not be combated ordinarily.
Ninety-TwoXanderA smile widened Hazel's lips as she strolled in back into her room, our room, since I was sure it wasn't bugged, we had been sleeping together.That way I was able to make sure she was protected, even though we knew who was stronger in the two of us.It just gave me a sense of purpose being here to protect my woman.Her eyes landed on where I sat with my weapons, and a sharper blade, as I sharpened my weapons. I was going to need them. Especially when I needed to escape from this Kingdom."What's the good news?" I asked as I sharpen a curved blade, my favourite weapon and crazy killer tool.Hazel was slowly slipping away under the grip of the dark magic. I knew this because of the nightmare she has been having. And the animated way she spoke to my father when they discussed how to use dark magic for their own good.I couldn't stop it. I couldn't do anything but watch.And when we were alone, when I tried to remind her who she was, and who I was to her, she often burs
Ninety-ThreeXanderPacking the only weapon I needed, I covered every single part of my body with black clothes, to enable me to blend into the dark much easier than before.I was back in my room. I couldn't bear to stay I'm the same room when I had become Hazel's enemy.I couldn't bring myself to laugh, not when my heart was on fire.Not when I saw her losing herself and I couldn't do anything.Taking the only weapon I needed, I began to sneak out of the palace.Climbing out of the window into the bushes, I decided to run straight into the bushes, but the voices I heard not far away halted me in my steps.My father and Hazel, discussing battle plans. A chill ran down my spine as I listened closely to what they were saying."They wouldn't know what hit them when we appear with a whole army of the undead, and even an army of their allies too." My father cackled loudly, and Hazel laughed maniacly after him."Wiping them out would be too easy. But what about the other kingdoms? How would
XanderI ran with all my speed, not bothering to look back once, but I could sense them behind me. Their paws echoed on the floor, the sound enveloping the crunch of my boots as they stepped on everything on the ground as I ran for my life.They were gaining in on me, and it was getting hard to lose them despite every one of the twists and turns, and the border seemed to be anå+q+¹+++qq+ eternity away as I strive to reach it.I felt heat behind my legs. As a wolf who had undergone assassin trainings , I could kill a good amount of wolves at a time.But these wolves were magically enhanced. It often wore off, but it was on a high tonight. I couldn't stand a chance.With the last willpower I had, I pushed with all my might, and I pushed myself even harder. The trees blurred, and the night air whipped against my face as I raced towards the border, and passing the last tree, I successfully felt a strong surge of energy pass through me. I was out of the border.The distant sound of wolves
Ninety-FiveSeth's PovEver since we found our the evil rogue King's plan, there hasn't been a second of rest for us all. I doubled the security around the border, and around the pack. Luke trained the soldiers who were going to war with more intensity and brutality. They needed it.Connor helped to organise the movement of the pack members put of the pack, while Isabella worked with the people in charge of making the uniforms. She didn't complain about the amount of work she was given, and not once did she repeat her offer of being my Luna. I was grateful for that, because we couldn't afford to lose our witch. Not now.I got myself busy with strategy planning with the council, deciding what we were going to do about the rogue kingdom when we won the war.I barely had time for any other thing, but I made time for my queen. She had Aubrey as company, and she helped me with plans and suggestions on how to talk to the council.But we were both happy with each other, except the agitati
NaomiA growl left Seth's lips as the soldier mentioned my brother, and a gasp left my lips. What was Xander doing here? What did he want?Before I could process further, Seth stormed towards the door, but I ran after him, holding his hand to stop him from rampaging down all the way to the dungeons. His eyes flared with anger, and his fists tightened. "I'm going to kill him." He growled, while I tried to soothe him, my other hand resting on his chest. "Seth, please, let's find out why he's here first. There must be a reason."Seth's eyes met mine, and I almost shrunk back with the intense anger burning in his orbs, turning them almost black. "His reason must be nothing more than the need to be killed." He pulled away from me once again, walking out of the room and out to the hallway but I ran after him, almost slipping on the floor because of how fast he was walking.He was out for blood, and wouldn't rest until he got it.But I couldn't let him. Xander was my only family left."Se
Ninety-SevenNaomiThe cold, damp air clung to my skin as we moved into the dungeon, and the echoes of distant moans and muffled cries filled the space. The pungent smell of blood and decay intensified, filling the air, and almost causing me to lose my lunch as I tried to keep it all in.Being in this space brought back memories. It smelt just as bad that day. Seth was nothing but a ruthless king, and I despised him with everything I had in me.Now his baby was in my belly. We moved closer into the dungeon, the occupants of the cell cowering at the sight of Ssth as he strode purposefully to the cell that contained ny brother. But they didn't cower at the sight of me, the pregnany woman following closely behind him. Instead, they stared back at us with hollow eyes, and I shivered at the thought of what could have made them that way.The cell Xander was kept in was far from the entrance, which meant it was hard for us to see him clearly, save for the little Window above his cell.
