Liliane was panting so hard, if Empusa is here in her residence unharmed by the guards that means she can get to her children too."Liliane my dearest Liliane," she said in a mocking tune."What are you here for? Liliane asked.Amused by her question Empusa laughed."Oh, please stop being hostile towards your guest, she said, as she took a sit and pour out some tea for herself."I don't remember inviting you here, Liliane said.Empusa smirked, ignoring Liliane, she lifted the cup to her black devilish-looking lips and took a little sip from the cup, she knitted her brows, a gesture that the tea was not pleasant to her taste buds."Woah, who made this!?" It is so bitter" she said.Empusa gestured to Liliane to sit with her at the table and roughly she did."You know, I've always wanted to be in your shoes Liliane, have a mate like Almoret and live in the palace, be his queen and have his kids", she said with a sad look on her face which was soon replaced with a frown. " But now I am gla
At the tea house she was only gone like a second it seems there, in that whirling darkness time stands still.Even when she wasn't given the full liberty to completely show him his way she knew Lucian will always find a way, he was her brilliant boy."You should understand I didn't mean all this to happen, trust me, Liliane". Empusa made a pretentious innocent face.Liliane look down at her thigh where she had placed Nala's head. her face had become too pale due to blood loss but her heart was still beating."How dare you mess with my children, Empusa!" she screamed, boiling in pure rage."Yes Liliane that's what I want, your rage, trust me I feel the same rage as you. Empusa said laughing maniacally."My rage is nothing like yours, my rage is driven from the love for my children, yours is madness!" Liliane charge at her.Empusa had already foreseen her attack as she move backward and Liliane found her claws stuck in the walls. she had aimed at her throat.the two aged women stood star
******************************That Night In The Capital******************************Clarissa was walking in the darkness of the town alone and utterly miserable, the town outside the palace was so quiet, there was no single soul on the street, It was midnight after all.She wipe her tears with the edge of her gown and headed towards her house at the far end of the town. there's nothing to be afraid of, as the town is mostly full of friendly creatures.She slightly gives her door a push and the door creak wide open."Hmm," she sighed.As she step into the room, she felt a familiar energy and a sweet pine scent, she was in a haze."it smells like heaven," she thought as she move to put on the touch on the wall.Her eyes fell on a shadow of a man sitting on the kitchen stool with his shoulders draped. He was staring right at her with his amber eyes.He looked so daringly handsome, With an average height he had a defined cheekbone and a concrete jaw, long Viking- gold hair, and bristle
Lucian POV*********************The moment I fell into the abyss of darkness, My wolf energy was extremely draining, my whole being hurt from pain and weakness, it felt like this darkness reject my presence. I was already on a thin rope between my wolf form and my human form, the two forms share their energy and strength. My lower body was still in my wolf form while my upper body had shifted back to my human form.At this crucial moment I felt the need to drink water, "I'm so thirsty," I said licking my already-dried lips. I was going around in circles with no trace of Dylan, it had been some minutes back that I felt his energy. Now even when I try to reach out to it, it is too far and faint to trace and it had been scattered around the darkness, Maybe this sorcery or spell or whatever it is had sucked out his energy into itself and it seems this darkness expanded by the minutes.If I wind up not finding my brother in the next minutes I might as well meet my end." I don't mind meeti
The elaborately decorated and gilded carriage of the alpha king galloped through the narrow path leading to the palace.In it, lay Lucian unconscious with sweat on his forehead, his body temperature was running, Marek who had taken the initiative to ride in the same carriage as he sat opposite him with fear in his heart.His body which was vigorously shaking clearly from cold, he's having a fever."gbaam! gbaam! Marek hit the carriage's solid surface, a gesture telling the coachman to speed up.He touch his head, immediately he retracted back his hand, Lucian was burning with fever.The carriage rider doubles its speed. it came to a stop in the middle of the journey."The palace physician is here," the carriage rider said. Marek jumps down the carriage and leads the old physician in. the physician, a wrinkled face old man with bearded grey hairs, bend back and a walking stick.The physician touched Lucian, the same as Marek did he jolted and moved his hand away from his body.Marek ma
Clarissa woke up late in the morning to the sound of plates in the kitchen, Memories of the previous night came flooding into her brain.she was glad she didn't wait for Iyyar to wake up before sneaking into her bedroom. But what is he up to in the kitchen she wondered.Clarissa tiptoe to the door and unbolt it, she open the door wide enough for her eyes to see through, she stretch her neck but didn't get a clear glimpse of what he is doing, the big kitchen cupboard was in the way of her sight. annoyed by it, she quietly closed the door and sat back on her bed."Darn you cupboard!" she cursed under her breath.She took to undress, then she went into the bathroom to take her to bathe. she wrap herself in a small robe and came out of the bathroom, she walk over to the mirror and sat on a small wooden stool that she had placed on the front of the mirror, the mirror which she had placed on her bedroom wall for her hair making, she picks a blue brush and brushes out her long red lush hair.
innocently Clarissa raise her head to have a look at him, her deep blue eyes met his amber eyes, and staring directly into his drowning eyes she asked."Why did you mark me?"Iyyar averted her gaze, "did I mark you?" he asked with an unknowing frown."stop pretending!" Clarissa hit him on his muscular broad chest, mid-air Iyyar caught her hand and draw her in, her face some inches away from his face, with the two breathing fanning each other face. "I didn't," he said.she peered right into his eyes, but he kept on averting his gaze not wanting to meet her gaze."tell me the truth! she said frowning.he leaned in on her with his head placed above her slender shoulder, his lips close to her ears he said,"I didn't mark you but he wanted to" he pecks her neck his action which sends a shiver down her spine.Clarissa knew her body can betray her at any moment so she yank her hand away from his and moved far away from him. he shrugged his shoulder, hiding the disappointment on his face."he?
The carriage arrived at the palace and with great speed, Lucian was taken to his residence.Marek was surprised at the multitude of ministers and servants waiting outside to attend to them.though they all had grim looks on their faces, he wondered "Maybe they're all worried for their king,"when they got to the palace, Lucian's heart had almost stopped beating.the trinity sisters of the desert leader tend to him.some incantations were being made to pull chaos out of him.during the ritual, Lucian fluttered his eyes open, barely breathing he asked."Marek, how is Dylan?""Hush Cian, Dylan is fine," Marek assured him.Marek could guess he was struggling to keep his eyes open but he drifted back to sleep.Marek and the witch nodded a yes to him as they advised him to lay back and go back to sleep that the pain will soon be over.Marek stood there watching Lucian struggling to stay alive as the darkness was being pulled out of him, Lucian's eyes were tightly closed like he was afraid of
