Dylan wipes his face with the back of his palm. "I need to go now," Dylan said as he bowed slightly to her."Hmm, you can't capture the creatures yourself and the ritual is meant for your brother," Thea said."Why can't I?" Dylan who had already turned to leave stopped in his tracks and walked back to her."The alpha king is the only one with that measurable inner energy granted to him by the Goddess to take on such darkness if you were to take part in the ritual and not Lucian you will lose your mind to the darkness," Thea said.her words were clear loud and scary.Dylan's heart faltered but he maintained a brave look."I don't care about that, how sure are we that the darkness won't swallow Lucian too," Dylan said.Thea laughed out loud."You can't compare a mere wolf to an alpha king wolf Dylan were you not taught, the Alpha king was destined and born to this realm because of one thing, to fight lord Magnus," she said.Dylan staggered backward. "Do you understand now, the gods kn
Lucian took lady Tamar's hands and smile at her."Let go," He said.Tamar's cheek was burning as a blush lit up on her face.within a blink of an eye, Lucian finds himself standing some inches away from a very huge tree. it was so huge that if someone should be at the top and looked down at them, they will look like an ant.Lucian's lips parted on their own, the sight before him was magnificent, its leaves were glittery green and they sway with the gentle breeze that blow from the north, Lucian was lost in the beautiful scenery in front of him.he had never seen such a tree with bounty and lots of serenity, a perfect place for meditation.Lucian was still engrossed when Tamar's calm voice drew his attention."After we capture those creatures, this tree and its leaves will wither away," Tamar said."We?" Lucian asked with a brow raised at her."You can go back now, I won't drag you into this," he added with a frown."My lord, I...." "it's not negotiable and your opinion doesn't matte
Lady Tamar open her eyes, and the creatures stood watching her closely. Lady Tamar was shaking violently, she look at herself just like the igigi she was glowing brightly. She wipe away her tears adjusting herself. "I will not let any harm come to you, Lucian," she said as she regain her composure. With each step she takes backward the igigis follow, slow and steady she walks backward till she lures them out of the tree, they were just twelve in number. The Igigi are light that are attracted to light, so they are attracted to lady Tamar because she's also an embodiment of light. The moment she step out of the shield and the creature followed he out. Both the Igigi and lady Tamar stop glowing, they ran to her side and grip her gown. The shield around the tree ware off and the glitters were fading. Lady Tamar dropped to her knees, she had not fully recovered from the shock of the vision. Lady Thea cast a sleeping spell on them and they all went mute and quiet. Dylan helped in dr
Tamar was so focused on Lucian's expression and what was happening around them that she didn't notice Lucian had no shirt on.Lady Tamar's eyes wonder towards his bare chest, and she swallowed hard.Lucian traces her gaze to his body and he coughs and uses his hands to cover his chest."I'm sorry I drag you out when am bare with clothes," Tamar shyly covers her eyes, as she moves away from him."I will go now," Tamar said still covering her face.Lucian nodded embarrassed at the situation they found themselves in.one of the soldiers brought his robe which he quickly grab and put on.Then he went to the ritual ground, lady Thea was halfway through with the rest of the soldiers, and Lucian saw Marek walking towards him."My lord," he bowed."Did you also take part in the ritual?" Lucian asked.Marek nodded his head and Lucian sighed sadly."I'm sorry, I wanted to protect all of you but I wasn't even able to do that too, what kind of a superior king am I?" "You're the kind of superior
She shook her head, her gaze fixed on the floor."I'm fine, my lord," she bowed and turn to leave."It not a request, it a command," Lady Tamar heard his deep voice.she swallowed hard, she found herself walking towards him slowly.when she got to the bed she close her eyes tightly and lay down beside him, it was clear that she was not comfortable.Lucian had kept his hand straight for her to use as a pillow and seeing that she lay beside him, his heart beat more than before.Lucian used his second hand to touch her long purple hair then he stroke her gently like a child.she felt so small and safe in his hands, it didn't take long before she fell asleep in his chamber.she was tired and weak due to teleporting spell she had been using since that morning.Lucian watch her sleep, the sight of her sleeping gave him nothing but peace of mind."I'm sorry you had to get punished because of my inability to protect the kingdom without going against the rules guarding Akeldama, but I promise
Close to the Latma cave Empusa and the rest of the coven sisters stood chanting an incantation. The sky went dark around the field and there was the spark of fiery smoky circles in the air. They chanted loudly with their hands up drawing a circle in the air. Some minutes later, different types and kinds of demons flew and jump out of the portal. This time they come out in their fifties and spread out into the woods looking for victims to devour. Empusa and her coven this time did not close the portal down, they cast a permanent spell to keep the portal open while the demon comes into the supernatural realm and go back at their whim.Nikkal walk up to Empusa with unsteady feet, she knew the question she was about to ask might cost her her life but what was more important than knowing your fate after the war? "your leadership," she bowed to her. "I'm in the middle of something, why do you dare to interrupt my meditation," Empusa said angrily. The wound on her horn had become sca
"I can't tell why I'm helping you, but I want to urge you to trust me," Tamar said. Dylan watch her for some second then he shook his head and move towards the bed. Lucian was sweating so much, " What do we do?" his temperature had risen above normal", Dylan informed them. Tamar ran towards his side and sat on the space towards his head. Marek went out to call in a servant who brought water and a towel for Tamar. She soaked the towel and then use it to cool his temperature. Time flies, and some hour later his temperature subsidies, Tamar sighed. She was so worried about him earlier. She wanted to move to the only armchair in that bedroom when she felt a slight tug on her gown, she look back and saw Lucian fluttering her eyes. "oh my goodness, how are you feeling? " she asked as she couldn't contain her joy seeing those eyes staring back at her again. He coughed out and Tamar helped him to sit up on the bed. "I feel like I was whipped a thousand lashes, " Lucian said and Tam
The meeting was held and the final decision was made, all the supernatural kinds agreed to give out their guards and kingdom soldiers to help in the war. The day of the war arrived all the soldiers were preparing for the battle, the sky had been dark and it appears like it had been night for three days now. Chaos was already close to City where people had found sanctuary. Lucian came out of his chamber, looking all prepared, his gaze fell on Lady Tamar, who stood with other soldiers, she wore the alpha king soldier's uniform, and she look stunning in it. "How come you look so stunning in that heavily armored uniform," Lucian said laughing at her. "Was that a compliment or a critic my lord," Lady Tamar said frowning. Lucian shrugged his shoulder, "Any way you took it," he touched her chin and she could not help but close her eyes as she felt a surge of sensation sweep through her whole being. Lucian noticed her reaction and she smiled at her. "You look familiar, have we met bef
