......15-Years-Ago..... ....The Kingdom Of Baridoki.... Little Zayn watched the palace guard move from the library corridor to the main entrance of the palace and quickly hid behind a wall.As soon as he was out of sight, he crawled quickly down the corridor and found his way into the palace library which Jeffrey had forgotten to lock up that evening.Zayn turned on the lamp on the desk and carried it along into the library.He moved past shelves of books which were carefully arranged until he got to the forbidden section.There was no demarcation as it was the last shelf in the library and he wondered why it was called forbidden if available for everyone to access.Not everyone. Only the keeper, the elders and the royal family had access to the palace library, and there was a law that forbade everyone except the king and elders from visiting the forbidden section.Well, he was good at breaking the law and his mother would always protect him from the punishment of the king.Thi
"So... How did you become this? You were born a hybrid" The question was intended to match Ajax's story with that of the book. That was the only way he would know the truth. "No, wolves cannot mutate into hybrids. They are made. I was made and I wanted it for the good of the kingdom but I was wrong--"He suddenly paused and turned to Zayn with a straight look, "You know, vampires pay more attention to the flow of blood. The little flinch in your heart. You know about me, you're gathering facts about me now" He swallowed the saliva in his mouth realizing Ajax had caught him, "Of course. Rajajax, isn't it?" A smirk found on Ajax's face and he nodded, "Look at that. He knows about me, you must be brilliant just like dear brother, Modrich"Zayn voiced out, "Tell me one thing, and I'll decide whether to listen to you or not" "Who turned you into a hybrid?" This was the firm question as to know if this was the real Rajajax who was banished. "Then you've heard of the story. They didn
Allegra arrived at the pack settlement and was welcomed by beta Shane who tried to catch up with her walking pace. "What happened? I was occupied here with repelling the intruders. Tell me you found him" She halts sharply and exhaled in disappointment, "The mate bond returned for a few minutes and I took a few warriors to the place I sensed him but on getting there, nothing. And then the bond vanished again" "I'm scared Ajax is going to do something bad to him. I brought Zayn into this" She said with tears in her eyes. "I'm sure Zayn will handle himself wherever he is. He is powerful enough to protect himself," Shane assured her and she shook her head, "You saw the black circle swallow him up. What if he is dead?" "He is not. By the way, Kimberly is awake now although she can do nothing being tied up like that.." Allegra did not listen to him finish up and found her way to the storage room where Lance rose to his feet the moment he saw her. "I can assure you, Allegra, Kim has not
....Earlier... You must understand, Nephew. It's always you or her as a ticket out of this world and I'll choose her over you. Just like Allegra asked, what do you truly want? A fvcking woman who doesn't give a damn about you or your rightful throne"Zayn inhaled and shut his eyes for a moment, "She is my mate""Who you never loved? She is nothing compared to your throne and you know it. Come with me, I want to show you something"Ajax moved away and he followed after.They climbed up the mountain opposite the sea and when they reached the apex, Ajax points to far below to the plain field ahead.Zayn gasped seeing the hundreds of foot soldiers scattered all over the land in a disorderly manner and maybe they were up to a thousand. He wasn't sure."Is that the Death Bringers pack? Your people" He asked and Ajax snickered, "My wolves reside at packhouse far from here and almost the same number as my vampire coven""Vampires?""Yes, Nephew. I'm a Hybrid. My bit turns humans into wol
Allegra was seated on the small bed in her cell with her head down on her knees and her eyes shut tightly.The wolves had brought her from the woods to this cell and locked her there.She wasn't calculating time but she could tell hours had passed already.The thought of finding a way to take the ring off her finger was not even forthcoming.She lost her index the last time and right now, she didn't know if it was worth it.She was a prisoner once again. Sold out by the one she had taken a turn to trust she love.Zayn's decision to ally with Ajax against her was something that remained unclear in her head.She still had little doubts he was doing it in his right senses.If there was another witch other than Kimberly, could it be that they did something to him and turned his heart against her.It was ridiculous that Zayn would backstab after saving her from Ajax.He claimed the original Ajax could help him leave this world and claim his throne.She wasn't even thinking of the sacrifice
Lance peeped outside the storage room to see the pack settlement in confusion.The pack members appeared to be huddled together and some other paced around aimlessly.Something was going on and he had no idea what it was.Allegra left with her beta about an hour ago and neither of them had returned to the pack house.He heard groaning and turned to see his tied-up daughter who was still struggling to break free but could not.The Detective was tempted to lose her and was confused if it was the right thing to do or not.He searched his head for the right words to change her heart but nothing was forthcoming especially now that he took her captive against her wish.Lance took a deep breath and found his way out of the storage room to meet a pack member leaning his back against the wall of a building and smoking a cigarette."Hey Man, are you busy down here?"The macho slowly took the cigar from his lips and his husk voice sounded, "Who are you and what are you going here? Human""I'm a
Alpha Zayn climbed back to the top of the roof and took a deep breath."You see...That wasn't hard enough" He announced with hands raised the pack members slowly began to lift their heads to see him."You go by my rules and we don't have to hit ourselves. So let's begin"Zayn's eyes scanned through the wolves in front of him for a minute and finally spoke, "Warriors to the right. Patrol wolves to the left. Now" At the sound of his voice, they began to move and soon there were three groups demarcated by space.The middle group appeared to be more women and children in the pack except for a few men among them."If you're good at the act of fighting and defence, join the warriors"About five men moved to join the wolves at the left point to the middle group with a long face, "You all..." He paused and then continued, "Return to your daily activities but keep your eyes out, enemies will not spare you because you lack skills. Go!" He commanded them and they disbanded in different direction
An opening appeared at the underground cell and Kimberly jumped out almost bumping into the omega prison keeper who stood in front of the main gate.He gripped her tightly but loosened his grab when he recognized her."Kimberly..?"She gripped his neck swiftly and began whispering a language that sounded strange to him.He tried to take her hand off when she hit his head against the wall.The guard groaned in pain as his heart became strong as strong and she hits his head on the brick wall again.He passed out instantly and she exhaled.She rushed quickly to the gate and used a spell to unlock it before proceeding down the brick-enclosed path.Kimberly kept sniffing the air like a wolf as she got closer until she came to stop in front of Allegra's cellIt was empty but she(Kimberly) could still pick the human scent that proved she was there."Fvck!"She made to move away quickly before she is found when her nose picked up another human scent down the enclosed path that went to the lef
The double wooden door of the kingdom hall was pulled open by the omega guards at the entrance revealing Allegra who had a white veil over her head.She was dressed in a Queen's apparel and is led down the aisle by no other person than her very father, Cain; who had his royal garment on him as well. This was a day she never imagined would come. Lead down the aisle by the very man who banished and tried to have her killed, that was years ago. Just a day after the battle of Baridoki, he arrived with his mother. Allegra's grandmother. To apologize and ask for forgiveness for being damn ignorant and letting himself be deceived by the elders of his kingdom. The only reason she accepted was the truth he brought.She was tied to the throne by the spirits that be already and when he(Cain) dies, she becomes the queen of Dakota but now that she is marked, her kingdom becomes her mate's.Meaning, the two kingdoms finally get to merge as one.Not an alliance. As wolves in one kingdom bonded
The proud smirk at the corners of Aurora's lips widened as she clarified. "Come to think of it, only a foolish woman would make a man come in her when she's unsure of her time of the month. I know the time I should avoid fvcking and also the time I should fvck like the world is coming to an end. I told August that, so when he finds you alive, it would motivate you to return. I got a child, I got a baby, I want to see my baby. Grandmother normally says a father's love for a child is amazing but not my father's. He's the opposite "Allegra's jaw dropped and she only managed to say. "You're lying, ain't you? You're trying to make me feel happy like you always do. We would take responsibility for your child, Aurora"She scoffed and shook her head. "Maybe my future child. I'm serious, I got no little bastard dwelling within me. Take a look for yourselves.." Aurora tugged her cloth upwards revealing her stomach and Allegra was quick to cover Zayn's eyes with her hand.Aurora's stomach look
Zayn waved his hand for a moment and the joyous wolves and silenced was restored. He continued calmly, "I am your new king and will restore this kingdom to what it always was. Trust me. I will leave to celebrate and then I will address the kingdom proper by tomorrow"'Can I pass Silas' sentence now? ' His mother's voice sounded and he nodded without turning back."One more thing, the one who killed our king and framed me for it to become the fake king will pass through judgment, now" He announced to them and the noise from the wolves increased as they chant with one voice. "Long live the king!"He took a step back and Rita took his position to address the wolves of the kingdom. Silence ensured for a moment when they saw her. She had spoken with Elder Maddox before Zayn showed up and he told the people who now loved her for the things she had done for the family and the kingdom. Nothing spread faster than rumours and gossip in the kingdom of Baridoki. They moved at the speed of li
Zayn without a single emotion on his face commanded the warriors of the kingdom, "Kill them all except the king, he's mine, and the Dohara warriors outside the kingdom, destroy them all. I have an army coming through the gates, join forces with them""Your command we will execute, Your Grace"Without further warning, the warriors troop away from the hallway to outside the palace, leaving twenty behind to rush the warriors with Daman.Daman stepped away from his wolves to face Zayn who stared him dead in the eyes.The Doharis in the throne room was overwhelmed and subdued in no time, stabbing their claws into the thrusts of the enemies before leaving to join the others outside.Zayn turned to his mother and nodded. "Leave Mother, this is not something you would want to see"The elders and the King's guard quickly helped to escort Rita out of the palace room."I'm impressed by your aura" Daman cleared his throat as he moved slowly towards Zayn with his hands behind him."I'm not here to
A black hole appeared on the roof of the palace and Zayn stepped out with Kimberly behind him.They went low and crawled to the end to see the warriors of Doharis arranged up in various lines to form several squares of them.He was careful not to stretch longer and draw their attention to him.Zayn breathed out and turned to Kimberly. "You see this? Take the message to Allegra. She begins marching our people to the kingdom. I'll have the warriors join the fight"She asked him calmly, "Are you sure about this?""Is the only way. I would have wanted to help with the fighting and end all this in the twinkle of an eye but the sudden appearance of a witch would raise questions from other kingdoms and they'll fear Baridoki might use the witch to conquer kingdoms. Witches are feared and having one by our side will make kingdoms rise against us. What we need in the wolf world right now is peace "She nodded and scratched the bridge of her nose. " I understand. This I've done is good for me. I
Cold shivers ran down her spine and hot tears refilled her eyes in the instant.The voice brought back memories of Modrich who had quite a similar voice as his son.She missed him and knew life would never be the same without him but she had a son.Zayn. Zayn would take over Modrich's throne and that was just what she needed for happiness to be restored to her life.And nothing would stop his ascension. She was sure of it.The spirits are with Zayn and they would fight with him to cease power from Silas.He had exact power. What he wields was a fake authority to control the army of Baridoki but it's about to change.The one and only true king was here.'Son..' She responded and bit her lower lip. 'I'm back, Mother. I'll fix everything, I promise' She coughed into her open palm and beamed a smile. 'I know, and we'll be waiting for you 'Are you safe? Mother. Right now, are you?' 'Worry more about coming down here Son, I'll take care of myself. I was going to talk the kingdom wolves i
After the last wolf in Zayn's pack went through the opening at the seashore, Zayn turned to Amanda who had her hands behind and cleared his throat."You've done enough for me. Thank you"Amanda forced a smile and pushed her hair off her shoulder. "There's no need for that. You deserve all the help you need to reclaim your stolen mandate. And um, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Allegra"Zayn sniffed and bit his lower lip. "Yeah. Shitty past catching up with me. I'll return to um, talk things with her. I just need to take care of my kingdom for now""It's not about your shitty past anymore. It's the future. You're a good man and I believe she has seen that and will come around her mind""I hope so" Zayn responded and Amanda stretched her hand. "Nice meeting you, Prince Zayn"They shook hands before she took steps back to oversee them leaving through the opening she had created.The opening connected to the other world and so the forbidden forest could be seen like a mov
A new form of rage coursed through Zayn's veins after August finished speaking.Silas had gone off the line completely and his mother is suffering so much pain than he imagine.They were right, he had to go right now but then there's Allegra who's back to the woman she formally was.Zayn was left to choose between his kingdom and her.He hated the position he was trapped in and knows fully well his decision would determine the future.This wasn't something easy.One way or another, there was no avoiding it, he had to go for one.'I'll be with you now, August' He closed the mind-link and opened another with the pack's beta, 'Prepare the wolves to march into my world... Prepare their minds for the war we're about to walk into ''We await your presence, Alpha. I did the counting as you asked and the recruited rogues and loners have increased our number drastically, we're talking about a thousand and one'Zayn's jaw dropped in surprise. He wasn't expecting a such spike in the number.Anyw
Zayn came to stop in front of Allegra's bedroom door and exhaled with eyes shut before knocking on the door.There was no response from her and that caused him to rest his head against the wall.Just when he thought he had everything, Aurora came like fvcking wave to ruin it all.He internally cursed the day he met her.He cursed his d¡ck for choosing to stick itself into a cursed hole.It wasn't exactly the dude's fault.It's been him. It's been fvcking him the entire time.Aurora should never have come into his life in the first place..."Allegra, just listen to me, okay?" Zayn tried to open the door but it was locked.A part of him wanted to take down the door so he could have the conversation with her but it wasn't an option."Go away, Zayn. Go and save your kingdom, you're wasting your time down here. I have nothing to lose" Her voice sounded from behind the door.Low, yet with traces of pain and disappointment.She was already in line to be with even if it costs her the pack, he
