Chapter 37 “Executed?” Rosaline asked Vixen, confused about what she was going on about. “Yes, executed so I will be expecting you two then,” Vixen said and made her way to leave the room. “You didn't state why Vixen,” Alexa said to her but Vixen just shrugged and left her room, closing the door behind her. “What could that even mean? Why would she be getting executed especially with the rituals coming up,” Rosaline said, wondering what Anastasia might have done. “Could she have annoyed the Lycans?” Alexa asked as they both continued wondering what could have made the Lycans decide to execute their breeder. Vixen met Miryam in the corridors, she was also another of Damien's concubines and a pure-blooded wolf. “Hi Miryam,” Vixen said to her, smiling. “Hi Vixen,” Miryam said to her wondering what could have made Vixen stop her on the way. “I wanted to let you know there would be a little gathering tomorrow afternoon,” Vixen said to her. Miryam frowned as she said to her, “I th
Chapter 38 The Lycans were gathered in their office discussing seriously about Anastasia. “We are going to have to execute her, these letters say it all,” Draven said to his brothers. Damien who was fuming said, “I can't believe I allowed an imposter to come into our home,” “It’s not your fault Damien, we all didn't know about this,” Darius said to his brother. Damien just shook his head. He already felt quite disappointed in himself because this was exactly what his dad had trained him so well to avoid. His dad's voice played in his head, “You do not bring chaos into your own home.” His hands tightened into a fist. “I should've known from the onset if I had been observant enough,” Draven said, also looking at the letters in anger and disgust. “Like I said no one is at fault here, we all didn't just know who she was,” Darius said trying to pacify the tense atmosphere. Darius also wasn't so happy about these findings but he felt none of them should beat themselves over this at
Chapter 39 Anastasia thought about Draven’s words and began crying bitterly. She wondered if this was the fate the moon goddess had set out for her. She wondered why her life was indeed potable till the very end. She thought about her mom, her dad, her stepmom, and her siblings and believed they would be so happy now if she left the face of the earth. She could hear her stepmom saying ‘Good riddance to bad rubbish’. She cried more as she held her necklace which was the only thing that could give her comfort but at the moment it wasn't giving her any form of comfort at all. Anastasia continued weeping bitterly and only decreased her cries when she heard two voices coming towards her. She was so surprised that it was Hannah and Esther and even tried to clean her eyes so they wouldn't know she had been crying but seeing the both of them crying now she couldn't hold her emotions and began crying with them. “Anastasia we are so so sorry,” Hannah said in between her tears as she was snif
Chapter 40 Esther woke up the next morning and quietly left a still-sleeping Draven. She was outside the door already and gently tiptoeing when she looked towards Damien’s chambers direction and saw Hannah doing the same thing. They both decided to talk and entered Hannah’s bedroom being the closest and began crying again as the thought of all that was going to happen flooded their heads. They felt helpless and didn't even know what to do anymore. They were both sitting down thinking of all that had happened, still trying to understand what could have made the Lycans decide that killing Anastasia was the best thing they could do for the Bethermore’s Mansion and not minding anymore about her being their breeder. “Do you think someone might have told a lie against Anastasia? Like someone like Vixen?” Hannah asked Esther, saying her thoughts aloud. “I thought the same thing but I also felt the Lycans would have just believed mere words. They probably must have seen something but what
Chapter 41 The concubines immediately began explaining at the same time causing a lot of noise in the process as Darius couldn't even get anything from all they were saying but he very well could hear Anastasia’s name so he got the inkling that the whole issue and fight could be because of Anastasia. “Enough!” He shouted and they all ceased the noise. There was silence and Hannah began to speak when Darius silenced her by raising his hand and he said to them, “The gold rankings should go ahead to explain first and I believe they are Vixen and Naomi. So I could understand everything you all are saying after them then you both can also give me your explanation,” Darius pointed his index finger from Hannah to Esther. “I was attempting to speak first before you said this,” Hannah said to Darius feeling downplayed but he just ignored her completely and motioned for Vixen to go on. Hannah felt pissed, stomped her foot on the ground, and began walking out of the gathering and on Darius.
Chapter 42 Draven felt so compelled and drawn to the dungeon. He didn't know why but the feelings were so strong that he couldn't quite act as though he couldn't feel it at all. He knew he just had to see Anastasia again before her execution. He tried his best to overcome this tempting temptation and didn't even realize it until his legs took him to the very entrance of the dungeon trying to see her face one last time before she faced death. He couldn't believe himself at all and he knew his pride wouldn't allow him to make her know that he had been craving to see her face which was why he had come here instead of the execution ground. He asked himself internally,’ What am I doing here?’ Yet he couldn't find himself leaving but just still stood looking into the dungeon craving her face. The urge to see Anastasia’s face was becoming stronger. “Sir, she will be taken to the execution grounds in a few minutes,” One of the guards at the dungeon said to him because he wasn't sure if Dr
Chapter 43 The execution ground was fully packed. Indeed the concubines who were the most excited were all dressed in a glamorous day. It seemed it was a day that I had been waiting for. There was a lot of talking and excitement, especially among the concubines who had different theories on why Anastasia, the only known breeder of the Lycans, was about to be executed. The Council of Elders was present and the Lycans also and seated beside them were their favorite gold-ranking concubines which were Alexa who was seated next to Lycan Damien then Vixen who was seated next to Lycan Draven and Violet who was seated next to Lycan Darius. These three concubines were also glamorously dressed and looked excited. Draven who still remembered vividly all that had happened between him and Anastasia earlier was trying his best not to fidget or make anyone notice, not even his brothers, that he was no longer comfortable with these arrangements anymore. He knew there was
Chapter forty-four The Lycan triplets were shocked as they all looked at their Father. It became obvious to them who had put a stop to the time. Lycan Daniel looked towards his sons in anger. The lycan triplets were so surprised and weren't sure why their dad looked mad at them. Lycan Daniel couldn't even believe his eyes as he saw that his sons had wanted to execute their one and only breeder. The person he had made it clear to them to mate for the continuation of their Kingdom. “Release her immediately!”His voice thundered around the execution ground. Anastasia watched in surprise. She didn't even know who the man out of the mist was but was thankful that he was on her side. ‘Maybe the moon goddess has finally answered my prayers by sending him’ She thought to herself. Draven immediately rushed forward and cut the ropes used in tying Anastasia up with his pocket knife. “Why would you three embark on such a terrible act?!” Lycan Daniel asked as he looked at his sons one after t
