Aliaria PovFew months laterI was already accustomed to being escorted every where in the mines with shackles and swords. Ever since my arrest by Kieran, so many things had happened.Some of the blood moon pack members were also thrown into the dungeon and together we were all forced to work in the mines. Already stuck in a dark place, I tried to utilize my magic but the thoughts of how Willow had sapped my powers away got me infuriated.They knew with my powers I could make a difference and they had tried to stop it.The door opened and I rose from the bed to meet the pack soldiers standing by the door. One of the soldiers walked over to my side and grabbed my chain.“You are coming with us” He said and pulled the chain, forcing me to get up to my feet.The soldier gripped my arm and led me through the building which most of Blood Moon pack officials and leaders were housed. We walked through the corridors and up the stair. As we keep moving I could not by chance find out where we
Aliaria Pov“What are you doing here?” I asked, the moment we settled down.“I don’t have much time” Dawson replied, staring at Borillo and then back to me “Kaidon has been restless. I had to assure him that I will get you.”Hearing this about Kaidon had me fully emotional. “That bastard really did these to you?” Dawson asked, looking at the scars on my hand. “I swear when I get my hands on him, I am going to make sure that he pays for this” “How did you know Borillo?” I asked.“He used to be one of my rogue soldier. A very loyal person and I am proud to know that the both of you will be working together”He held my hands and placed a diamond necklace on it.“This is a gift from Kaidon. He says that I should inform you that everything will be fine” Staring down at the necklace, I felt a strong energy hovering around it.“This isn’t an ordinary necklace” I noted.“You are right. The wizard came back and asked me to hand this over to you. He claims that Willow’s magic has become dark
Aliaria POV“I want that necklace!” Willow said as she is being helped to her feet. “Get me that necklace now”I smiled within seeing her scared. She deserve everything coming to her and this time around I wasn’t scared of her.One of the soldiers walked over to my side and tried to pick up the necklace, but it burned his hands as well.I turned around to Dawson and the smile on his face was evident.It is almost like the wizard knew this would happen and dropped enchantment into it.“Why can’t the enchantment be removed?” Lucian asked staring at me. “What did you do with it?” “What I do with my enchantment is nobody’s business. Now let us address something else” I replied and turned to Willow with a smile. “Since I have the necklace, it will be the moment I need to fight in the tournament.”Willow and Lucian looked at each other and it appears that my words sounded appealing to their ears, just like I love it.“Very well then. Dawson will be at the dungeon and he will be the one to
Aliaria POVThe next morning I felt someone tapping my shoulders and I open one of my eyes to see Borillo staring down at me.I groan, wincing in pain as the effect of the chains tied to my hands seem not to wear off.“Wake up” He said.I lazily got out of the bed and pulled the blanket over my head. From the window, the fog descended over the mountain.“It is cold outside” I said with pouted lips. Why should I train when there is only few weeks left to beat other champions? All I need is more sleep. “Just get up” He said pulling the pillows off my head. “You don’t have to waste my time” He added.“Why are you sounding this way today?” I asked, taking note of his tone.“The captain of the soldiers has decided to be a stupid today” He mumbled with a frown.“What did he do?” I ask while trying to tie my hair into a bun..“I did the watchover last night and suggested to him that I should be given rest and he refused” He explained.Borillo’s eyes were puffy red, an indication that he h
Kaidon PovI did not want to go to Blood Moon Pack. The long history of bad blood between our packs and theirs could be resolved if I could reach an agreement with their Alpha.There is a knock on the door and I proceed to get it open to see Dawson standing with his sword beside him.“Everything set with you?” He asked, staring down at my royal robe.“I am ready. I just hope we get my mate and reach a good agreement with the Alpha. It should not be really hard.” I mentioned, looking at Dawson for a confirmation.“One of these two will be tough for you.” “And I am sure it is talking to the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack.” I replied with a chuckle.Dawson turned around and is ready to leave.“Dawson!” I called and he turned around. “Thank you for everything, I don’t know if I would have gone through this moment without you.”“I should be mad at you. But when it comes to the throne I will rather have my own blood seated than a foreigner” One thing about Dawson that will always surprise me,
Aliaria PovI closed my eyes and gnashed my teeth in pain as Kill bird connects a punch to Dawson’s rib and the rest of the competitors all cheered on with excitement on their faces.The thought of stopping Killbird filled my mind, but I remember the words of Dawson at one time we were together,HE doesn’t like his fight interrupted or any one having sympathy on him.“This is what you are going to get in the tournament girl” Kill bird said, while pointing at my direction with a smile on his face.He is such an idiot.Dawson grabbed his hips and I could tell he was in serious pain. I turned to Borillo, who had no emotion on his face.“Is there nothing that can be done?” I asked.“This is the brutal nature of a werewolf combat. Dawson ought to have understand what he was getting himself unto” He explained and shrugged his shoulder.Dawson managed to get up back to his feet and attempts to swing a punch in the direction of Kill bird, but he moved away and caused Dawson to trip again.It
Aliaria POV“Alpha Kaidon, I respect you and your choice of coming down to my pack to pay a honorable visit. However, if you make the mistake of trying to hit on my mate, I will have you sent out of this pack at once.” Kieran said and underneath his eyes, I could see the rage building inside of him.What is Kaidon thinking coming down to Blood Moon Pack? How is the King of Rogues his escort? There are several things that sound meaningless to me.“You need to understand me Alpha Kieran. I lost my mate months ago and I thought all hope is lost”“No, you did not loose me. I left the pack because of how everyone treats me.” I voiced out.“The moon goddess chose her as my mate and make no mistake about it, I love her and I know she loves me as well.”He held my hand and a smile made its way across to his face and I felt my heart warming up to him.I turned to Kaidon and could see how angry he looked. He has no right to be angry because he caused everything. I tried recalling the nights I
Author’s POVEldric stared out from the balcony, the beautiful scenery of Silver moon pack. A smile came through his face knowing that in the next couple of hours, he will have control over everything in the pack.The door open behind him and one of the soldiers step inside. “The council members are seated and waiting for you Beta.” Being called a beta irritates Eldric, but he had come to terms with taking the insults until the right time to strike arrives.He stepped outside the chambers and on his way to the council meetings, he stopped at Lyana’s door, realizing there is one big problem that he has to solve.He pulled the door open to see the former Luna reading a text. She pulled the book off her face, the moment he stepped into the room.“I am sorry to disturb you Luna, but there has been a rather disturbing news.” Eldric announced, causing the Luna to sat upright at her bed.“What are you talking about?” She asked.“The Oasters arrived in the early hours of the morning and whi
Aliaria POVIt has been 3 days since I obtained the mark of Apollo from Kieran 's shelf. The truth in the book was astounding following what had happened to Killian .Kieran had declared that for the rest of the week there won't be any tournament till when the time of his chosen comes. Sunday Lee I felt a strong energy holding around my body and my legs became weak my eyes became blurry causing me to fall into a trance state.When I open my eyes I found myself in an empty room with only one ray of light coming through the window. Where am I? Am I dead or was it some sort of a dream? "It is not any dream Aliaria it is me." I turned around startled by The voice of the wizard who held unto his staff and worked out of the shadows to face me. He had a long mustache and his beards had grown more than the last time we saw. "Age has really caught up with you dear wizard." I said reviewed iron his body from head to toe. "When you have stayed in the world for a very long time that is wh
Dawson POVThe moment Killian step forward I noticed something very odd about him. His eyes are changed colors and they were soulless.I felt a weird energy around him and for some reason I knew something was wrong somewhere. I turned around and notice the smile on Grace's face almost like she had planned something out. I begin to connect the dot and realize that I wasn't hallucinating when I said I had seen Killian and Willow .The horns were blown and the fight was to start immediately. "Now I am going to finish you." He said and launched the attack. I moved out of the way I see aggressively step forward with his hand almost connecting with my face. I wasn't going to make the same mistake I had not earlier but unlike the first round he was very fast in this one. Every point that came to my face I slightly moved out of the way causing a friction before anything happened.I distracted him after seeing an opening and my hand connected with his jaw and his stumbled backwards. A
Dawson PovThere is no reason that I should be fighting in the middle of the night alone with my unknown opponent behind the cage.But here I was doing the bidding of Kieran and Willow . The rest of the Alphas were also present and the moon shinning was the only available means of light.I remember Aliaria’s word to me few earlier on and I was going to be careful.Everything is being set for me to loose but I cannot loose, not when we finally know what is going on in blood Moon pack.The cage finally opened and beneath the shadows, a familiar figure appeared.“Killian .” I pronounced, surprise that he was the one that I will be facing.“The time has come for me to put an end to your life Dawson . There is no way you are escaping my wrath.” He said.Kieran got up to his feet and cleared his throat.“The fight is a hand to hand combat.” He announced and it is accompanied by the loud sound of the horns, which indicated that we should fight.Killian rushed forward with a menacing pace
Aliaria POV“How is he doctor?” Kaidon asked the moment we walked into the pack hospital.Dawson ’s body was beyond recognizable. His face was swollen and dirts were coming out of his lips in the form of mucus.“Whoever did this to him is the sick” The pack doctor confessed as he stepped away from his body.“His wolf is still there and I can still find a pulse. But I don’t think he will be able to get through” The doctor revealed.“Something must be done about the situation” Kaidon declared. “The only possible solution to what is happening to him is to find the antedote to what has been done to him” The pack doctor explained.“What is the cause of his swollen body?” I asked.“He was bitten severly by multiple deadly scorpion. I think these scorpions must have the most deadliest venom for his body to be in this state” The pack doctor revealed.An antedote.How is it possible to get this antedote?Kaidon tapped my shoulders and gestured for me to walk out of the room with him.By
Author Pov“Sieze him!” Kieran ordered and a group of soldiers rushed forward and yanked Dawson ’s hand, forcing him to the ground.“Kieran , he is my champion” Kaidon argued as he watched his brother man handled by the pack soldiers.“Your champion is going to answer for his crimes. He just killed an Alpha and he must pay for it” Kieran replied and demanded that he be taken away.Aliaria watched in dismay as Dawson is led out of the room. She turned to see Kieran whispering something into Willow ’s ear and she got up to her feet and also walked out of the room.Aliaria could sense that something fishy was going on and they were hiding it.Meanwhile Dawson is unfazed as he is led down te basement. He was used to the torture already.The whip never silenced him but merely made him much stronger.The soldiers tied him to the pole and he is stripped off his cloth.“You should consider using a much thicker whip. This one is too old” Dawson suggested to the captain.The captain fe
Aliaria PovThe early morning was unusually quiet. Ashton my personal guard was leading me through the tunnel till we arrived alongside other champions.Today a crowd awaits and I could feel their energy, even down the tunnel. “You are early” I said to Dawson as I stayed by his side.“I am always early” He replied with a smile.I looked down his hand and noticed a change in his weapon.“An axe? What happened to your sword?” I asked with sheer curiosity.“The game is unpredictable and I just have a slight feeling that I might be needing this” He replied with a shrug.I wanted to say something but the doors are opened and we stormed out of the underground pit to a loud cheering crowd.My eyes scanned the entire crowd and soaked up the euphoric atmosphere. My eyes landed at Kaidon and he smiled in my direction.Kieran and Willow were also seated for the first time since the beginning of the tournament.“Why is Willow suddenly interested in this tournament?” I asked Dawson beside m
Aliaria Pov“It has become very obvious that Kieran plans to kill one of us before the tournament is over” Dawson said as we sat down at the training center.It was deep into the night and with my magical necklace, I had been able to cause a lot of the solders to fall into deep sleep, which allows us time to talk.“Which is why we need to come up with a plan.” Kaidon replied, while stroking my hair with his hand. “We are giving Kieran too much power. He threatens to end my pack at will because he knows that there is nothing I can do about it”“One of us has to win the tournament.” Dawson mentioned.“One of us?” Kaidon and I echoed as we looked at Dawson .“Don’t tell me you are planning to fight Aliaria if the both of you ever meet in the final round” Kaidon said.“I have been loyal and I don’t intend to go back on my word. Aliaria is going to win but at the same time, I want her to win honorably” At first my brain was trying to process everything he was saying.“In what way
Aliaria PovTo say that I was happy was understatement.As Dawson is being taken away, I could tell that his message has reached every ear including that of Kieran, who I noticed was still struck in fear.The games were finally over and all the Alphas were walking out of the hall. Kaidon gestured with his hands to meet him at the training ground and I smiled in response.“I know what you saw at the tournament ground today has been absolutely shocking” said the captain, who has come to address us.“What Dawson has done today should not repeat itself amongst any of the champion. None of you have the right to attack Alpha Kieran. No one!” He yelled and turned to look at my direction.“Wipe away that smile on your face woman!” He yelled and my face changed into a frown.The captain approached me and stared into my eyes for a moment, while I looked away from him.“I saw what you did”I turned to look at him and a smirk came to his face.“I….I don’t know what you are talking about” I repli
Dawson Pov“What is the meaning of this madness!”I turned around to look at Kaidon, who has risen up to his feet with his face glaring angrily at Kieran.“Alpha Kaidon, you have always questioned everything I have done. So what you say holds no water right now” Kieran dismissed with his hand and turned to the arena.My heart was beating fast as the rogues all circled me like they were predators ready to devor their preys.I croaked my neck to look at Aliaria. She was shaking her head aggressively as she noticed the smile on my face.She really thinks I will not be able to take on the rogues even with my hands tied.“Tell me something Alpha…” I said, confidently turning to look at Kieran. “Am I allowed to let free of the ropes and find a weapon against these rogues?” I asked, looking at the rogues.Some had their swords and others had their clubs with them.“You are allowed to break free from the ropes, but I doubt if you can because they are tight” He said and laughed menacingly.Kai
