Lucian immediately went there and when he got to the door, he knocked. His father's voice echoed from the other side. He opened the door and went inside. His father was standing by the window, watching outside. He had his back on Lucian but he knew that Lucian was inside the room. Lucian waited by the door for a while and when his father didn't speak, he did."You sent for me father.""Where have you been?""Roaming."His father scoffed mockingly at his response."There is a problem."He knew there was."What could that be father?""The Lycans. They want a war. They are going to rebel against me.""Impossible!!"Lucian feigned ignorance and surprise."What shall we do father?"Lucian asked curiously. He had to convince the old man that he was on his side. His father did not respond, but this time he turned around to face Lucian."I will starve them more and give them a lot of hard labour. I will then freshen up my soldiers and fatten them. On the day of the war, they shall be hungry
Lucian was watching the man keenly. The man pulled out the drawer and took out a sword. It was mighty, long, sharp and clean. The sword sparkled when it came out of the drawer."This is a special sword my grandfather had. It is laced with the most potent poison in the whole of the witches' territory, he had a witch queen laced it and he fought many wars with it."Lucian looked at the sword and it didn't look like it had been to war, it was clean and too sharp, a touch of it could tear one's skin. The man brought the sword to Lucian and handed it over to him."Use that on the day of the war. You will be surprised at its potency."Lucian took it from the man and wrapped it in his clothes. No one had to see it."Thank you."The man nodded and went back to arranging his shelf. Lucian stood up to take his leave and he told the man he wanted to go."Sit, dinner is going to be served soon."The man turned around. Expecting Lucian to sit."Thank you, sir, but I have to go. Have a nice day."
She didn't want to go out to see the war nor did she want to go out to see how her mate will be slain, she knew her lycan will react to the sight and she didn't want to spoil plans.She stood by the window, admiring nature that she didn't even notice how time passed. She only felt her heartache and her body felt incomplete. She didn't feel right and she knew that Marius was dead and Lucian was on his way up. She went out of her room and down to the entrance of the palace. She stood there, with her back to the door and she waited. She waited for her death. She could hear Lucian's approaching footsteps and she knew it was now, it was now or never. She would go crazy and she didn't want that. His footsteps drew closer and within a split second, she felt her breathing cease and her head severed from her body.______________________He heard the chanting and turned around. The soldiers were on one knee and had their heads bowed. All of them. They had the head of Marius. Soon, the Lycans a
It was Raphael who spoke. Selene began to explain things. It turns out she was pregnant even before Marius found his mate and when he did find Eliza, Marius told her she had to leave the clan and she did. She left the clan and went to the fairy's territory and there, she had her baby after nine months. Kai was born in the fairies' land and no one knew about him except his darling father who visited him all the time.Everyone was shocked at the turn of events. Lucian was furious, furious at his father for such a betrayal. He was too furious to speak calmly to anyone. He rose from his seat."I am going to bed."He said rudely and no one made objections. He started walking away and Alexia followed him. Raphael told the rest of them to go to bed too and they will have the meeting the next day.When Lucian got into his room, he started kicking everything in sight. He was furious. Alexia got inside too and ran towards Lucian. When she got to where he was, she cupped his face into her hands
Alexia stressed the last part of her statement for emphasis. She wasn't going to be called a little girl by a mere mistress. The woman could not talk anymore, she went ahead and sat down on the bed. Quietly."My husband has sacrificed too much for me to allow you and your son to take things right from his hands..."She looked intensively at the woman."Back... Off"She said and turned around and left the room. Selene sat on the bed silently, she didn't want this, she didn't want any of this for herself or her son. She buried her face in her palms and cried for a short while before she too stood up and exited the room.When Alexia got back to Lucian's room, he was ready. He sat on the bed finishing up his shoelace when she entered the room and he stood up when he was done. She was standing at the door and he walked up to her wrapping his arms around her waist, she took hers and wrapped it around his shoulder and gave him a quick kiss."Don't forget everything I said yesterday."She wh
The man finished up leaving both Lucian and Alexia in shock. The duo could not believe the betrayal. Lucian stood up slowly and silently. Alexia noticed his movement and stood up too, holding Lucian's hands, both of them walked out of the room silently.The clan was summoned and all of the Lycans gathered at the base of the palace. The elders stood at the balcony and announced the next ruler of the lycan clan, Kai. The lycan king. There were noises and murmuring but soon, the Lycans bowed and gave respect to their king.When Lucian got into his room, he laid on his bed face up and covered his face with his palms. He was cast, he felt betrayed by his father and by the clan. Alexia joined him on the bed and she sat, looking at him. She felt pity and rage, Lucian looked too helpless. She held his hand into hers and spoke."You did so well. You did what I said.""My mother will be disappointed where ever she is."He spoke. His voice was shaky and he had tears running from his eyes. He was
*** LUCIAN'S POV ***He woke up and it was dark already. Alexia wasn't by his side and he could not perceive her scent, it meant she had left a while ago. He stood up from the bed and wore the shirt Alexia took off him. He went outside and asked a servant where she went to, a guard told Lucian she asked him to tell Lucian that she went to clear her head, and she will be back shortly. He dismissed the guard and went back into his room. He freshened up and changed his attire. He called the guard Alexia had kept a message with and kept his own for her. He will be going to Raphael's house. He went outside and decided to walk to the place.He arrived at Raphael's house and knocked on the door. A servant opened up and he went in. He did not see Raphael's wife and he asked a servant where Raphael was and the servant told him. The man was in his library. Lucian went to the library and knocked when he got to the door, the man's voice echoed on the other side of the door, giving Lucian permiss
She arrived in the southern territory after two days and sent the lycan servants back. After she had dinner, she summoned Vincent. She will be gone for a long time and she trusted the old but young-looking man with the safety and good governance of the packs. He came almost immediately and found her in the ballroom. He bowed when he got to where she was and she told him to rise. He did."I will be gone for a long time, Vincent. I want you to rule in my stead. I will be sending out messages to the other packs to inform them of the changes. Guard the packs jealously and govern them well." She said.The man bowed again."As her Majesty pleases." He said and rose again.The next day, she did as she said. She sent messengers to all four territories, putting Vincent in charge of all of them. Next, she went to the gamma's house. She had to see her daughter. When she arrived, she asked for Kiara and she came. She had grown so much in the last couple of years. She was almost the same height a
