THE LYCAN KING AND HIS HUNTED LUNA 57
My heart pounded in my chest as I heard the voice, realizing that it was not a figment of my imagination. “Who are you?” I asked cautiously, my voice barely above a whisper.“I am someone with the power to make your worst nightmares come true,” the voice replied, cold and menacing. “And I am not someone you want to cross.”I clenched my fists, trying to hide the fear that was creeping up inside me. “What do you want from me?” I demanded, trying to sound confident even though I felt anything but.“You know what I want,” the voice taunted. “The Stone of Shadows. Bring it to me, and I will spare the woman you care so deeply for. Fail, and her life is forfeit. Have you forgotten our deal?”Immediately I knew it was the invisible force that attacked me in the woods, he wasn’t physically here but some how he was able to communicate with me almost like he was in my head. “I’m working on it,” I said, my voice steady. “But first, you have to promise me that Agnes will be safe.”The voice chuc

In the dimly lit throne room, Constantine paced back and forth, her face twisted with rage upon hearing the news of Cain's escape. The guard who had brought the unfortunate tidings stood before her, trembling with fear."You dare come to me with such news?" Constantine hissed, her eyes flashing with fury. "You and your incompetence are a disgrace to the coven!"Before the guard could respond, Constantine raised her hand, and in an instant, a bolt of dark energy shot forth, striking the guard down. His lifeless body collapsed to the floor, and the room fell into an eerie silence."Summon Vaemond immediately!" Constantine demanded, her voice dripping with anger.The remaining guards hurriedly obeyed, and within moments, Vaemond appeared before Constantine, his lycan form still visible in his glowing blue eyes."What is it, Your Grace?" Vaemond inquired, trying to keep his tone respectful despite the tension in the air."Cain has escaped!" Constantine seethed, her gaze piercing into Vaem

As Freya met Vaemond before they set off on their mission to hunt down Cain, there was a spark of familiarity and affection between them. Vaemond’s blue hue eyes met hers, and a warm smile spread across his face.“It’s good to see you, Freya,” Vaemond said, his voice gentle and sincere.Freya returned the smile, feeling a hint of warmth in her heart. “Likewise, Vaemond. It’s been a while since we last crossed paths.”He nodded, his expression softening as he looked at her. “I’ve missed you. You have a way of brightening even the darkest of days.”Freya blushed slightly at the compliment. “You flatter me,” she said, trying to hide her growing fondness for him.As they prepared to ride their horses together, Freya couldn’t help but notice how Vaemond’s presence put her at ease. Despite the tension and danger of their mission, being with him made her feel strangely protected.“Are you ready for this, Freya?” Vaemond asked, concern evident in his voice.She nodded, determination shining i

Under the guidance of the wise witch doctor, Agnes began her celestial training. Her first lesson was to summon the heat from the sun and channel it into powerful fireballs. The witch doctor, with his deep knowledge and ancient wisdom, demonstrated the spell effortlessly, and a burst of fiery energy descended from the sky, leaving Agnes in awe.“See, it’s not that hard,” the witch doctor said with a reassuring smile. “Now, you try.”Agnes took a deep breath, her excitement mingled with a hint of nervousness. She extended her hands towards the heavens, trying to gather the sun’s energy. But her first attempt yielded no results.“Don’t worry, Agnes,” the witch doctor said, his voice soothing. “This is normal for beginners. You need to relax your mind, find peace within yourself, and connect with the energy around you.”The witch doctor shared a proverb with her, one that perfectly suited the moment, “A mind filled with clutter cannot harness the power within.”Taking his advice to heart

As the sun began to set, Agnes and Baba Tunde sat by a crackling fire outside his humble abode. The flames danced merrily, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of burning herbs. Agnes looked expectantly at the wise witch doctor, eager to hear the tale of the first student he had taught magic.Baba Tunde chuckled softly, a glint of amusement in his eyes as he reminisced about the past. “Ah, the first student I ever taught magic was quite a character,” he began with a warm smile. “His name was Juma, and he was a young man with a mischievous spirit and boundless curiosity.”Agnes leaned in closer, intrigued to hear the story of Juma.“Juma was a quick learner, but he had a habit of getting himself into all sorts of amusing predicaments,” Baba Tunde continued. “One day, I was teaching him how to harness the power of the wind to levitate objects. He was so excited to try it out that he didn’t listen to my instructions properly.”Agnes couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of Juma

The sun had set, and the moon began its ascent into the darkening sky, casting an ethereal glow over the forest. Freya and Vaemond had been tirelessly searching for Cain, but their efforts had yielded no results. As the night grew deeper, they decided to take a brief respite, finding a small clearing where they could rest for a moment.Vaemond spread a soft blanket on the ground, and Freya settled down, feeling the cool grass against her skin. Vaemond sat behind her, his arms wrapping gently around her waist, pulling her close. A warm shiver ran down Freya’s spine as she felt his comforting embrace.“Rest for a moment, my love,” Vaemond whispered in Freya’s ear, his voice a tender caress that made her heart skip a beat. “We’ll continue our search in the morning. You must be tired.”Freya leaned back into Vaemond’s chest, feeling safe and protected in his arms. “Thank you, Vaemond,” she murmured softly, closing her eyes for a moment of peace. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”“Yo

Baba Tunde chuckled as he saw the look of determination on Agnes’ face. Teaching her how to manipulate vision and create illusions was not going to be easy, but he was confident in her abilities.“Alright, Agnes, let’s start with something simple,” he said, leading her to a small clearing in the village. “I want you to focus your energy and repeat after me: ‘Visum Incantatio.’”Agnes furrowed her brow and repeated the words, but nothing happened. “I don’t understand, why isn’t it working?” she asked, feeling frustrated.“Patience, my dear,” Baba Tunde replied with a smile. “You need to clear your mind and let the magic flow through you. Try again, and this time, visualize what you want to create.”Agnes took a deep breath and tried again, “Visum Incantatio.” This time, a faint shimmering light appeared in the air, but it quickly faded away.Baba Tunde laughed heartily. “Not bad for a first try! But you need to maintain your focus and will the illusion to stay. Try again, and this tim

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow across the forest, Vaemond and Freya continued their search for Cain. Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching, and to their surprise, it was Felicity, .“Vaemond? Freya? What are you two doing here?” Felicity asked, looking slightly taken aback.“We’re hunting down Cain,” Vaemond replied, his expression serious. “He escaped from his cell, and Constantine has ordered us to find him.”Felicity frowned, clearly disappointed by the news. “I can’t believe he managed to escape. This is frustrating,” she sighed. “I’ve been trying to locate Agnes as well, but it’s like she’s vanished into thin air. I’ve used every spell and incantation I know, but there’s no trace of her.”Freya nodded sympathetically, understanding Felicity’s frustration. “Agnes is skilled in concealment magic. It’s not surprising that she’s managed to elude us so far.”“But we won’t give up,” Vaemond chimed in, determination in his eyes. “Cain and Agnes are both a threa

The council chamber was in a state of urgency, the air thick with tension as the emergency bells echoed through the room. Lysandra stood at the head of the table, her expression composed as she listened to the reports pouring in. One council member’s voice rose above the rest, his tone accusatory. “Lysandra, how did this happen? How did Freya manage to escape?”Lysandra’s gaze met his, her voice steady. “I received word that Freya attempted to escape, but she was intercepted by one of my trusted guards. Unfortunately, the guard was unable to retrieve her body.”The council members exchanged concerned glances, their disbelief evident. “And the guard’s name?” another council member inquired.Lysandra opened her mouth to speak, ready to say “Liam,” the name of the guard she had instructed to eliminate Freya. But before she could utter a word, another council member cut in.“And one of the guards, Liam. I’m afraid he’s dead as well,” the council member said, a hint of grim satisfaction i

“You will return to your cell now but by night fall, my guards will come and help you escape discreetly “ lysandra told freya softly “How am I sure you will keep your end of the bargain” Freya protested “Well… you have no choice right now, do you? “ lysandra answered with a smirk. Lysandra’s gaze followed Freya as she left the room, a cold smile tugging at her lips. She turned her attention to the second guard, a stoic expression on her face. “You there, come closer.” The guard approached Lysandra, his posture rigid and respectful. “Yes, Your Grace?” Lysandra’s voice was quiet, a dangerous undercurrent weaving through her words. “I have a task for you, one that requires the utmost discretion.” The guard’s eyes locked onto Lysandra’s, his attention unwavering. “I am at your service, Your Grace. What is it that you require?” Lysandra’s lips curved into a calculated smile. “I want you to accompany Freya on her journey out of the city.” The guard’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “But

The cell was dimly lit, the cold stone walls casting shadows that danced around the room. Freya sat on the floor, her expression a mix of defiance and resignation, as she awaited the inevitable. The heavy door creaked open, and Lysandra entered, her presence commanding the room’s attention.“Freya,” Lysandra’s voice carried an air of faux sympathy, “we find ourselves in quite the predicament, don’t we?”Freya’s eyes bore into Lysandra, her response laced with bitterness. “What do you want now, Lysandra?”Lysandra’s lips curled into a self-assured smile. “I’m here with an offer, Freya. A way out of this cell and a chance at freedom.”Freya’s eyebrows furrowed in suspicion. “And what’s the catch?”Lysandra paced slowly, her gaze fixed on Freya. “I’ll be blunt,” she began. “The council is calling for your execution. They’re hungry for retribution for your betrayal.”Freya’s eyes flickered with a mix of anger and resignation. “So, what, you’re here to gloat?”Lysandra’s expression remaine

Lysandra paced back and forth in her private chamber, her frustration mounting with each failed attempt at casting the locator spell. Her hands crackled with energy, but every time she channeled it into the spell, it fizzled out, leaving her seething with rage.“Damn it!” Lysandra hissed, her voice a mixture of anger and exasperation. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she struggled to rein in her emotions.As she attempted the spell once again, a timid knock sounded at her chamber door. Lysandra’s head snapped in the direction of the interruption, her eyes flashing with irritation. “What is it?” she snapped.The door creaked open, and a young maid hesitantly stepped inside, her eyes wide with trepidation. “My lady, I-I apologize for disturbing you, but the council has requested your presence in the main hall.”Lysandra’s lips curled into a snarl, her patience worn thin. “Can’t they see I’m busy?” she spat, her tone dripping with venom.The maid’s shoulders sl

The cold, damp walls of the cell seemed to close in on Freya as she sat on the narrow cot, her expression a mixture of defiance and weariness. The footsteps echoing down the corridor signaled the approach of someone important, and when the heavy door creaked open, Freya’s gaze locked onto the figure entering. Lysandra, the self-proclaimed ultimate sorcerer, stood before her, her presence commanding attention.“Freya,” Lysandra greeted with a twisted smile. “How delightful to see you again.”Freya’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing as she met Lysandra’s gaze. “Save the pleasantries, Lysandra. I’m not here to engage in a friendly chat.”Lysandra chuckled, a sound that held a hint of amusement. “Oh, I’m well aware of that, dear. But perhaps you’ll change your tune once you hear what I have to say.”Freya rolled her eyes, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “I highly doubt it.”Lysandra took a step closer, her eyes boring into Freya’s with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. “Yo

The grand hall was illuminated with a warm, golden glow, the feast in full swing as revelers indulged in lavish delicacies and fine drinks. Laughter and chatter filled the air, a façade of celebration masking the tensions and allegiances that ran beneath the surface.At the front of the hall, a raised platform had been set up for the speakers. General Allistair stood at the center, his uniform impeccable, his gaze steady. The coordinator gestured for him to step forward, and the general did so, facing the expectant crowd.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Allistair’s voice boomed, commanding the attention of the assembly. “Tonight, as we gather to celebrate, we also gather to acknowledge the dawn of a new era.”The crowd’s murmurs died down, anticipation in their eyes.Allistair’s gaze swept over the crowd, his expression earnest. “Our realm has seen its share of challenges and trials. We have been tested, pushed to our limits. But in these times of uncertainty, we have been graced by the prese

The grand chamber was adorned with opulent decorations, an air of authority hanging heavy. Freya stood at its center, flanked by guards on either side, as Lysandra sat upon a raised throne, her council members gathered around her.Lysandra’s gaze was sharp as she regarded Freya, a hint of a smirk playing on her lips. “Well, well, if it isn’t the notorious Freya. You’ve caused quite a stir in our realm.”Freya’s voice was laced with defiance, “And here I am, standing before the esteemed Lysandra. Quite the honor.”Lysandra leaned forward, her expression condescending, “Remember your place, witch.”Freya’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile, “Oh, I’m well aware of my place, ‘ultimate sorcerer’.”Lysandra’s eyes gleamed with amusement, “Your sarcasm won’t save you here.”Freya’s tone turned serious, “Let’s not pretend that you’re the rightful ultimate sorcerer. You’re an opportunist trying to grab power.”Lysandra’s laughter echoed in the chamber, “Is that what you believe?”Freya’s voic

Lysandra paced back and forth in her chambers, her mind racing with thoughts of the recent developments. General Allistair had just entered, his posture rigid and his expression serious.“You wanted to see me, Your Majesty?” he asked, his tone respectful.Lysandra turned to face him, a mixture of anticipation and excitement in her eyes. “Yes, General. Tell me what you’ve learned.”General Allistair cleared his throat, his eyes locking onto Lysandra’s. “Word has spread across the region about a rogue witch. It seems she’s been causing quite a stir, using her magic recklessly and drawing attention to herself.”Lysandra’s lips curled into a smile. “A rogue witch, you say? This could be just the opportunity we need.”The general nodded. “Indeed, Your Majesty. But there’s more. The descriptions of this witch, they bear a striking resemblance to someone we know.”Lysandra’s eyes widened, her excitement growing. “Agnes? Has she finally shown herself?”General Allistair’s lips twitched, a hin

Freya moved cautiously through the bustling city streets, her black cloak pulled tightly around her as she tried to blend in with the crowd. The city had a different aura from what she was accustomed to under Constantine’s rule. The soldiers patrolling the area were adorned in striking attire, a mix of attractiveness and danger that set them apart.As she navigated through the crowd, Freya’s heart raced with every step. She knew she had to get through the city undetected, for the safety of Maximus and herself. Her eyes scanned the area, searching for any signs of potential danger. Just as she thought she might slip by unnoticed, a firm hand closed around her wrist. She turned to face a soldier, his eyes locked onto hers with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.“Who do we have here?” he said, his tone laced with amusement.Freya’s heart pounded, and she tried to pull away, but his grip was unyielding.“Just a traveler passing through,” she replied, her voice steady despite her racin
