Chapter Twenty-Two"You can't possibly know with this. She might be wounded slightly." The man replied. "She's dead," she replied before bursting into tears. "I'm so sorry child." The old man patted her back while Lyla cried her eyes out all through. And after what seemed like thirty minutes she slept off. The old man pecked her on the head and covered her up with a blanket while he watched the last drop of tears roll down her cheeks. "Poor child." He finally said and took up the plates they used an hour ago. *************************************Liam summoned some soldiers secretly. Some were his she some belonged to Kyrian. They were rebels and every one of them bore grudges against Kyrain. Either for killing their friends, lovers, and a lot more reasons. "We are gathered here today cause there has been a slight issue with our plan as of two days ago." he finally spoke staring at them one after the other. "And so we have to wait for some other time to get our plans carried o
Chapter Twenty-Three"I don't…I don't understand. Who's gone?" he asked looking confused. "I mean she's gone. Hilda's gone. I can't find her." she said adjusting her hair. "I told her not to fucking leave the room… have you tried checking everywhere in the place?" he asked searching through her eyes like someone waiting for a positive result. "Yes. I still can't find her. It's very alarming. I mean…" she sat on the bed looking a bit devastated. "You know what, Don't panic. Let's see if we get to hear any strange news. I think my wounds are healing a bit faster." he said going to his wardrobe to get himself dressed. "I'd better leave before anyone sees me come out of your room again," she said walking towards the door but her movement got restricted when Abel dragged her back for a kiss which was done passionately. "Hey, be careful out there. Don't get hurt. And when you need me just call my name. Within the palace. I'll come at once. I wish to spend more time with you but now is
Chapter Twenty-Four"Good morning Dad." Lila greeted her dad yawning and stretching. "Morning love. I love the smile on your face. Keep smiling for me. I will love it." he replied walking towards her to hug her. "Okay. I would love to take a stroll. And also help you at the restaurant today." she replied, trying to get out of bed with the aid of her walking stick. "It's okay baby, let's go for a walk then. I think we should do this morning's exercise without your walking stick. Just lean on me, it will aid you faster." they both giggled and went out and in hand."I guess I should start doing something. More like assisting you?" tossing her hair to the back asking the old man. "I would gladly accept the help, Emily," he replied to her with a smile on his face. Shopping to stroke her hair before he assisted her in walking around. "I love the name, Emily. It's fit for a princess." Lyla replied, smiling sheepishly. "And you are more than a princess. You are a queen, a Luna, and a w
Chapter Twenty-Five"She is not living a life of her own." the doctor replied."I'm confused. What do you mean she's not living a life of her own?" Abel asked. "What I meant is she…" but before the doctor could finish his statement they heard a knock on the door which cut short their conversation. "Come in." the doctor responded. Emerald walked her gently staring at the both of them but quickly replied to the doctor cause she realized she silent for a while. "I'm here to see my friend," she told the doctor holding her long gown at both sides. "Oh. The young lady on the bed is your friend?" the doctor asked her."Yes. She is," she replied the doctor. Bowing to Abel. "Thank, you so much sir." And with that, she walked up to Lila's bed feeling her body and she noticed that her fever was gone. She held her hand and kissed it. Not minding the presence of Abel and the doctor. "You will be fine baby. I assure you," she said adjusting her friend's hair. "Can we talk outside?" Abel as
Chapter Twenty-Six "I know people are rebelling Abel. But with my Luna gone and I here filled with people I couldn't trust. I don't know what to do to break this curse, Abel. I can't sleep at night unless I'm drunk." he concluded with troubled eyes. "We'll find her okay? I promise. But you cannot lose your kingdom before you do Kyrian. You've got to focus man." he replied putting his hands on his waist. "Yeah. But first I want to know Lyla, my Luna is okay. I need someone to tell me she is doing one where she is." he replied him holding his chest. "Did you even know what's going on between these walls you call a palace? Hilda got kidnapped," he said folding his hands on his chest and staring at Kyrian who was looking shocked. "Wait. Hilda was here? When did she arrive? Where was I? What made her come back?" he asked impatiently. "You are lost in your kingdom," Abel replied. "So what do I do when even the enemy refused to show up and was just fighting in the shadows," he replied
Chapter Twenty-Seven "What In fucks name…" and before she could complete her statement she was slapped by one of the angry soldiers."You don't get to talk to us like that, bitch." the soldier slapped her again. "And who the fuck are you and what right do you have to hold me hostage you bunch of rebels," she said as she spat in his face laughing evilly. With that anger, he punched her in the face till she was dazed off in chains. "What a fucking bitch." he replied and closed the prison's door walking to Alpha Liam's palace. "Where's the lady?" Alpha Liam asked staring at them. "She's yet to be awake." one of the soldiers lied to cover up for his friend who beat Hilda to a stupor. "Well, she was awake a few minutes ago. She spoke out of turn and I punched her till she went off," he replied Liam got so pissed that he got up from his throne and punched him hard in the face. "You defiled my order. You fools. Did I not tell you not to touch the lady?" he replied growling. "We are
Chapter Twenty-Eight It's been three months since Lyla has been with the old man who took care of her but sometimes she doubts if the man has forgotten about his daughter who was killed by a werewolf of a supposed pack she doesn't know of. And it's been three months since the stranger who saw Lyla for who she really was has been on her trail waiting for an opportunity to grab and use against her. "I love working at your restaurant. I mean the people are so nice." Lyla spoke packing her hair which was obstructing her from eating. "Sure girl. They have always been like that. And just they've liked you, they loved my daughter too when she was alive." he concluded not looking at Lyla but concentrating on his food which he seems to be eating forcefully. "I'm sorry. I…I mean…" but when Lyla saw that the man did not bulge she kept quiet and ate her food. After a long silence, the man left Lyla in the kitchen and went to his room. Locked his door and wept silently. "He's acting weird.
Chapter Twenty-Nine "Thanks for honoring my invitation." Alpha Kyrian responded. "The pleasure is mine." Aloha Liam replied. And with the doors closed Abel couldn't phantom what was going on inside or what they are discussing but he was ready for anything that may come. "So, your request for me came as a surprise. It's unlike you. So what's with the impromptu request for my presence?" Alpha Liam asked with his eyebrow raised."Not so that Liam. We could talk it over at dinner." Alpha Kyrain replied. "Oh, this is going to be a long night." Alpha Liam smiled with his eyes locked on Kyrian. "By the way, you can be calm as I'm not going kill you over the food. At least not yet as your presence is still needed." he jokingly said even though he meant eighty percent of those words. "You certainly don't want to start a war. And yeah, it's nice to have two alphas in the palace." Alpha Liam laughed loudly with the doors open while they walk through the hallways. While they approached, A
