ELVA'S POV

The North wind blew violently as we made our way to the West from the East. The apprentice priestess' magic orb had directed us to the West. But there was an encroaching storm in the West which was possibly triggered by the violent North wind. And usually during storms, there were raiders waiting for travelers on the way. Although we were many in number, we couldn't tell what lay ahead of us, so the Alpha King suggested we waited for the storm out before delving into the West. However, I lacked the patience to do that.

"We are getting closer," reported the apprentice priestess, "a few more kilometers and we'll be where Princess Selena is."

I turned to the Alpha King, "We need to keep moving. There's no big deal about the storm."

"No. We're camping here!" He pointed to a cave side, "Our horses will be terrified to move under the storm. And if we get attacked by natives, it may not turn out well for us."

"Are you that scared?" I asked, laughing as my voice vanished into

    DARIAN'S POV The four ladies carried me from the room to a door which one of them opened and we walked into a steaming room. There was a tub which was filled with lathered water. I had been doing what Bulma advised me to do; observing them. And from what I had observed so far, they weren't werewolves but possessed strength that could rival a werewolf's. As for other physical feats, I was yet to see. "I like the way you easily understand your situation," one of them said to me, "To find calm and calculated men these days seems very difficult." "Do you also understand your own situation?" I asked her. "Yes," she answered, "if I don't bathe you and present you to the master in time, his anger will be upon me." I turned my face to the side with disappointment. It seemed they had no idea that they were dealing with an immortal. However, being mortal or immortal was no guarantee that I'd escape this hell of a place I'd found myself. "Please, get into the tub," one of them said to me

    SELENA'S POV "Thanks for bringing him, devas," I said to the four women who had brought Darian into the castle. "You can leave now." "What did you call them?" Darian asked as he pushed past the ladies. The boldness he displayed even when he was at a point where he was meant to show fear was stomach upsetting. "They're devas, special female servants of my father," I said. "Your father? Are we in the Haelstrom kingdom?" He asked me, his eyes clearly spelling confusion. "Don't tell me you think that the Lycan king is my father," I said to him, "It should have been clear from the color of my hair that I wasn't his daughter." "Whoa! This is new to me," Darian said. "Uhm… So, you're saying your father has his own castle as well. Then, why have you been living in the Haelstrom kingdom?" "My father is a brother to the Lycan king and this is a forte he had been protecting for several years for the Haelstrom kingdom," I let him know. But I stopped when I remembered that he was still sta

    ELVA'S POV The closer we came to the location that the magic orb directed us, the more the place looked familiar to me. But I was very sure that I had never been to a place like that before. My wolf growled suddenly, "The memories of the late Lycan king are manifesting inside of you." "Father's memories?" I asked. "Yes. It seems he has been to a place like this before," Ruya said to me. My horse continued with the rest of the soldiers before I suddenly started to develop a headache. I was beginning to see a lot of the memories and the landscape was getting more and more familiar to me. My wolf noticed that I was getting sick and immediately called out to me, "Elva, tell someone to hold you!" My lips quaked as I tried to mutter Demian's name. His name was the first to come up in my mind. But before I could do that, my whole body went numb all of a sudden and I started to slide off the back of the horse. Luckily for me, Demian noticed me falling immediately and came to my rescu

    ELVA'S POV We passed through the gate and headed into the kingdom. I was shocked when we walked beyond the gate and realized that there were people inside the gate; soldiers, precisely. As we walked in, eyes stared at us with utmost curiosity. Yet, none of them dared approached us. "Are these people normal?" Demian laughed. But what felt abnormal was the way we came into their kingdom without anybody's permission. "I think they're scared to approach us," I whispered, "maybe, they think we came for war." "If that's what they think, then they aren't quite far from the truth," he chuckled, "If their leader refuses to release my brother, then it's war." "You better keep yourself composed," I warned with a frown. "And you better get yourself disposed," he snickered, "everything about this place feels off." Suddenly, a man came up to us and Demian signaled our men to halt. As we stopped, the man drew closer to cover the gap between us. "Welcome to the Maelstrom kingdom," he said t

    DARIAN'S POV "Elva… Demian… You guys came," I heard myself say. My heart melted at their presence and I could feel the hope for an escape. "I can tell the intent of a man by his heartbeat," Selena's father suddenly said. He stood up from his throne and headed toward Elva and Demian. "Welcome to my kingdom, princess of the Haelstrom kingdom," he said to Elva, "and you the juvenile Alpha king." "Thank you," Elva said. But it felt like she had forced those words out like a foreign object in her stomach. Suddenly, Elva's feet began to quake and her face squeezed up. She fell to the floor immediately and Demian rushed to her. "Oh, it seems we've met before," Selena's father said to Elva. "What did you do to her?" Demian rushed at Selena's father to grab him by the collar. However, Selena's father slapped his hands off before they could reach him, and the next thing I saw was the arms getting ruptured. "Argh!" Demian screamed out in pain. "My hands... Argh!" I felt an impulse to

    ELVA'S POV I could feel the warmness on my skin, and streams of water running down the slopes of my body. "What is…going on?" I muttered to myself. I was sure that I wasn't dreaming. The feel of the water on my skin was too real to be a dream. Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was the hips of a naked female figure standing vertically beside me. I traced my eyes from the hips, all the way to the face of the person, and then stopped. "What are you doing to me?" I squeaked, drawing back when I met the face. She was naked and I was naked as well, and I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. However, I turned and noticed three other ladies by my other side. "What's happening here?" I asked, ignoring how beautiful they looked and how identical all their faces were. "We're preparing you for the king," the first among them replied me. "For what?" I stood up immediately. "It's the king's order," she answered, "please, lay back and let us finish with what we are doing." "Don't yo

    DARIAN'S POV Demian, Elva, and I had been seated at the dining table for almost twenty minutes before King Albert finally returned. "I apologize for the delay," he said as he walked in. He glanced at us, and when he didn't see Selena, he turned around to the Devas. "Where's my daughter?" "She's still making up," answered one of the Devas. "Should I go and fetch her?" "Do not worry," replied King Albert, "she's already coming out." There were four Devas in the dining room there with us, standing. Four other Devas came descending the stairs with trays of steaming food in their arms. The aroma of the dishes filled the air as they served them before us. There was a tray of baked beans, a bowl of grilled chicken laps, a bowl of cauliflower salad, four jugs of wine, and many more. It was a banquet before our eyes. I suddenly remembered the soldiers and turned to confront King Albert, "What did you do to the soldiers?" "The soldiers? Ah… don't worry about them. They were only revo

  • Return Of The Lycan Queen   Chapter 79: Shame On Her!

    ELVA'S POV My eyes widened when I saw Darian and Selena holding hands and descending the stairs. I cringed at first, but told myself, "It's alright, Elva. You should understand that he's just playing along." "Isn't that beautiful?" King Albert said, his gaze absorbed by the two who were descending the stairs. The dining table had six seats. Darian came behind me and whispered to me to stand up. As I stood, he took my seat and pushed it slightly to make space for Elva's seat which originally was beside her father's. Now, her seat stood between mine and Darian's. With a wry smile on her face, she took a seat and clung closer to Darian. "You two look perfect for each other," said King Albert. My intestines twisted at the smile that came up on Selena's face as her father complimented her and Darian. Shame on her! "Guess what, Dad? We kissed in the room just before coming out," she divulged. I almost threw up a chunk of vegetable I had in my mouth on hearing that. I gripped my for

I couldn't believe that I had been such a big fool who believed Nolan. I let him take such a big advantage on me.I heard noises like someone was fighting outside. I couldn't move, just sat there completely glued to the chair. My heart was pounding in my chest right now.The door suddenly burst open revealing Nolan. " You? What do you want?" I yelled at him.He didn't answer my question but just ran over to my side and untied me. " Let go of me, let go!"He gripped my hand tight. " We don't have much time and your stupid lover boy isn't here yet so I had to hurry back to get my men and save you," he explained.I didn't even have much strength. "Why isn't the wolfsbane affecting you?" He inquired." Because I'm a silver wolf," I answered him." Ohh," he trailed, nodding his head. " We better get going, I heard Haelstrom is unde

It was driving me insane because the palace was getting all filled up with Elva nowhere to be seen.I couldn't take it anymore and ran up to her room hoping that she would be there. I arrived and didn't even see Elva there. Her dress was still on top of the bed so that means she didn't go far.I checked the bathroom and closet but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart was pounding wondering where the hell she could have gone. I knew that she was so nervous but I never expected her to run away just like that.I should have tried harder. I didn't comfort her well and now she's gone, it's entirely my fault that she's gone. It's all my fault.I tried not to jump to any conclusions thinking that she probably wouldn't have gone far. I wanted to tell my beta but decided to just make sure that I could find her before jumping to conclusions.I called her phone multiple times but sh

    ELVA's POVToday was D-day. I didn't feel any different rather I felt like nothing. I looked at my dress with different thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even know what to do or if I would ever be able to be a good Luna.I was sure that Darian didn't worry whether or not I was still with but it still troubled me daily and it's been very hard not to think about it. My body was somehow trying to correspond with my current situation.My face was filled with lots of unwritten expressions. I should have gotten ready but I couldn't bring myself to. I tried so hard not to give in to my thoughts but rather it was more disturbing to my mind, making my headache.I heard a knock on my door. I turned to go answer it. I opened it and saw Darian standing there looking charming as ever with such a handsome look. He was dressed in a normal black tuxedo and his head tied perfectly." You look charming," I complimented.He chuckled a bit and made a move to enter but I just blocked him. " This

    NOLAN'S POVThe thought of having to lose my position weakened me. I couldn't visualize myself not being the alpha, I had to find a way to get Elva back at least to trick the people even if it's just for a little while.I thought that maybe I could try to get to them by using the nice guy stuff on them. I even tried making a great deal with Darian but that annoying asshole didn't even give a shit or cared about it.I thought that he would succumb to it once I promised to break the bond but it didn't help one bit. Instead, it made him more adamant and brutal and bluntly refused right to my face.I had to think of something and I had to get on with a plan fast otherwise all this would be gone. I noticed someone present in the room, I looked up at him only to find out that it was just a guard. The last thing I needed right now was bad news." What do you want?"" Good afternoon alpha," he greeted. " You have a guest," he told me.I raised my head, wondering who the guest could be. I knew

    DARIAN'S POVI knew that the guy could never be nice. I knew that he was up to something which was definitely for his benefit. It was easy to grasp that this was just all of his plan and a way to make him let go of Elva so he could finally get what he's been longing for.I didn't know whether or not to tell Elva about it trying not to get her stressed out. We've only been back at his pack for a week now but a lot had been going on, I didn't want to stress her much, especially with the fact that her coronation was coming up.I shrugged off the thought and decided to go for a swim. I changed into just my boxers and jumped into the pool at once. It was just some kind of way for me to relax my body and let out all of my inner stress.Nolan could come ahead and fool anyone but he's most definitely not going to fool me because I could easily see right through his plan. It was more than clear that this was all of his motive and plan.I decided in my mind that I would try my best to make sure

    DARIAN'S POVThe dead weight of what I had gotten myself into was mortifying. I didn't mean to lash out at Fabian just like that in front of everyone but I had just had more than enough from him and wanted nothing more but to just put him back in his place.I heard a knock on my door. I immediately composed myself and had to clear my throat before attending to the person at the door."It's me, Logan," I heard him say.I heaved a big sigh and drastically opened the door with different emotions popping up in me. " What do you want?" I asked, not really in the mood to see him" I came here to see you," he replied.I further opened the door, giving him more access to my room. He entered my room. " Sit," I offered him a chair not far from the couch.He sat down on the chair looming around the room. I could easily tell that he was hesitant to talk probably because of how intimidating I was sometimes and now he's debating in his mind." Are you going to speak or should I chase you out?" I thr

    DARIAN'S POV" Are you kidding me? So you're telling me that he wants the throne instead?" Elva asked after I narrated the entire incident to her.I nodded in response and my eyes widened with shock. She tried eating something but right at the same time, no words came out of her mouth. She just kept quiet for a minute." So, what are your plans now?" She finally spoke up.I didn't even know whether or not I had a plan but something was for sure and it was making things more and more intense for me. My head was stuck with lots of mess." He just thinks that I'm not capable enough but I'll make sure to prove to him that it's beyond what he thinks," I said.She looked at me with a warm smile on her face as my beta came in with some sort of worried look on his face. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't any sort of trouble because I had to deal with more than enough."

He was finally gone and that empty feeling was back there in me once again, it was a feeling of pain and pure relief.My new wolf — Stephano wasn't a pain in the ass like Ruya and that was exactly what I liked about her. She may seem rude but rather she was lively and we got along well in such a way that even I couldn't describe it.I got off my feet and left the room deciding to go for a walk round the garden. I've been indoors for quite some time now and now I've subdued the fact that all I needed was just a little outing to get me going.I decided to let off the guards but they weren't too far off from me either. I just had to have them with me in case of anything and speaking of trouble, that was when I noticed Nolan not too far away.I made sure to stay at a safe distance where it would be easy to alarm the guards in case anything happened.

I can't believe that the more I thought that I was closer to achieving my goal, the more it was becoming useless for me.The girl whose name was Celia shrieked as I thundered loudly at her. My heart was totally pierced right now with this new maud discovery wishing I had known earlier which was why I made her go as a spy to the palace.She told me that some maids got a clue of what she was doing and just what she was up to. I couldn't let anyone discover what we've been up to so I made sure that she found a way to get rid of them.I had always kept a good reputation and couldn't risk having Darian suspecting me otherwise that would just ruin my entire plan and she would be the cause of it.
