CHAPTER 188 LIFE AND DEATHTEDDY'S P.O.V How did I let things get so messed up? He told me to get the kids and go, to protect them. Which was all I have ever done. So of course, that's what I would do. But I couldn't stop asking myself why I listened? Why didn't I ignore his request and protect him too? If I would've ignored him and fought Sibil head on, he'd probably still be here. But as much as I wanted to blame myself for what happened, the truth of the matter was, we were in immediate danger and I had to get us all out of sight. After what had happened today, we would have to go into hiding. At least temporarily, until I could take care of Uriah for his betrayal. But even with that knowledge, I still wanted to blame myself for what happened to Fenirs . He managed to leave me even more broken than when he disappeared without so much as a note. Because now, I knew it was certain. He was gone. There was no hope left. I felt the bond snap. "Teddy, what's going on? Talk to us?" Luc
CHAPTER 189 ANNOUNCEMENTTEDDY'S P.O.V It felt like it had been weeks since Fenirs and I's bond broke. But it had only been days. Days of torture. Days of pain. Fredrick sent guards scavenging that forest, and nobody was able to recover his body. I didn't want to have a memorial without his body. But it appeared as if I would never get to see his face again. He deserved far more. He deserved to have a funeral, to allow all his friends and remaining family the chance to see his gorgeous face one last time and say their goodbyes before we laid him to rest. But that was another issue. His parents were both in the royal crypt. Somewhere he should also be. But instead, he was decaying somewhere where animals may have eaten his decomposition. While Uriah remained seated at my son's throne. "Mail is here, you won't believe what's in it!" Lucy hollered as she entered the ICU room. I had been at Novalee's bedside waiting for her to wake up. The doctors said she was in a coma, possibly brai
CHAPTER 190 I'M COMING FOR YOUTEDDY'S P.O.V I held off on hosting Fenirs 's memorial for when we took the Kingdom back. I wanted his friends, what was left of them, and all of those who loved him to be able to celebrate his life. "Full Moon is tonight, are you ready?" Lucy asked from across the room. "We've done nothing but prepare. I'm ready to go home. I'm ready to officially lay my mate to rest." It had been almost two weeks since the incident. Fenirs 's body was never recovered. But I planned to have a stone carved in his image for the crypt. It was the best way I could keep his memory alive. "Tonight we will make our move. It will be when he is least expecting it. He thinks that tonight he is going to party and be crowned King of the realm. But while he is relishing in his so-called accomplishment, we strike. He doesn't have numbers, or at least hopefully he doesn't. I'm praying once we are discovered they'll side with us. If not, then a war it is." I then said, trying to r
CHAPTER 191 INVADING THE KINGDOMTEDDY'S P.O.V We got through the borders with ease. There was an underground tunnel that was once used back in a major battle of the ancestors in the 1800s. I had learned about it during my Luna Queen studies. I had always said I would go explore down here, but I just never had the chance. The tunnel goes directly under the entire Kingdom. Bloody brilliant if you asked me. But it was meant to keep the Kingdom villagers and pack members safe. However, over time it was needed less and less, until one day it was completely forgotten. 'The tunnel leds out into the sewage, gross.' Gemma said in my head. 'It has kept loner wolves, rogue wolves, and any possible threat from entering them.' 'Pretty smart, I wouldn't think to go scavenging inside of shit.' Which was exactly the reason it was built this way. It appeared as if it were a drain, but it wasn't. 'Do we have to get in there?' Lucy asked, I could hear the disgust in her minlink. 'To answer ever
CHAPTER 192 BATTLE OF THE THRONETEDDY'S P.O.V Most of the guests didn't know what to do. They had been lied to, but they weren't sure if it was purely accidental or not. Uriah was a well known ruler, whereas I was still considered fresh meat. Would the people side with him or with me? "This doesn't have to be a war. You can walk away now." I said, trying to reason with him, as I said I would do. "The Kingdom is MINE!" He roared with a growl that ripped through the ballroom. "The kingdom is my son's! It was never yours!" "It should've always been mine. I was promised this! I followed every direction, from the sacrifice, to the dying. The throne belongs to me!" What the hell was he talking about? "You shouldn't be here." I heard a feminine voice echo beside me. I jerked to the side to see Lilly of all people standing there with a newfound confidence I had never seen before. "Lilly?" "Actually, the name is Kiera. The name Lilly made me sound so full of life. Yet my role was to
CHAPTER 193 FETCH YOUR MASTERTEDDY'S P.O.V Gasps could be heard all around the ballroom. I pushed Uriah's body to get him off of me. "NO, LIAM. NOT AGAIN!" Kiera screamed out as the black smoke evaporated. A moment later, Lucy took the opportunity and rammed her fist into Kiera's chest. "This is for killing one of my best friends, you bitch!" Lucy hollered just moments before ripping her hand from Kiera's chest cavity. Encased in the palm of her hand was none-other than a heart. Kiera's limp body fell to the floor with a thud. Wait, did she just say Liam? I looked over at Uriah's body. He was laying motionless on the ground, his chest heaving up and down with each deep breath he took. "Uriah?" I asked, unsure how to feel at this point. He was possessed by not any ordinary demon. He was possessed by Liam. And I had no clue. I figured when I met someone possessed I would get a feeling and be able to sense if it were them or not. But I didn't. Actually, I didn't even consider t
CHAPTER 194 FAREWELLTEDDY'S P.O.V I decided to leave Iblis locked in the spellbound room until I met with Josiah. The last thing I wanted to do was lose the only person that we knew who could contact him. Which Josiah just so happened to be the only man alive that could heal Zola. Luckily, Elias managed to replenish Lucy and I's energy and powers before we trapped Iblis. Not in front of anyone of course. I felt guilty for even asking this of him, but by doing so, it has allowed us to put up a stronger barrier in the room. I keep telling myself that at least it was for the greater good. And in this case it really is, but that doesn't justify relying on a two year old to save the Kingdom and Zola. Plus, it was as if I was asking the man my son was destined to fight to the death to come ahead and meet him. I had no intention of allowing them to cross paths but as one might say, his destiny was already set. I just have to hope that fate doesn't allow them to meet so soon. I know mayb
CHAPTER 195 DANCE WITH THE DEVILTEDDY'S P.O.V I was certain that who I saw was Josiah. I had this familiar feeling deep inside. Surely he wouldn't show up just to leave without saying a word to me, right? I kept looking for him as the guests all started to leave. Another round of 'I'm so sorry for your loss.' given out. I had every intention of leaving early to avoid that. But how was I to leave knowing that Josiah was there? After everyone had left, there was still a man seated inside, the last person in the room. But it wasn't him. "Sir, the memorial has ended. Is there something I can help you with?" I asked as I made my way over to him. He sat still, not moving a muscle in the slightest. "Sir?" I asked as I patted his shoulder. His eyes connected with mine, they had almost looked glossed over. "Sir, are you okay? Do I need to call for help?" "Meet me at the underground club, ALONE. I will be the one in the shadows. Wear something nice." The man said before his eyes began
