Chapter 56

POV: Lamina Darkwood

She furiously pushed away every single thing that was on her table. She was breathing heavily, and her face turned bright red because of both humiliation and deep rage.

“How dare she say those words to me! That Rania is really testing my patience!” She wrathfully spat those words in between her gritted teeth.

Her canines were slowly becoming bare, and her wolf was wanting to take over her.

Rania had embarrassed her from everyone, and she needed to shut her mouth and pretended to be deeply concerned – even though she just wanted to burst with her words to her. If it wasn’t for the people around her, she tightened her jaw as she clenched her fists.

But what’s more about it was that everything that Rania had told her a while ago was just too much, that she wanted to talk back at her – especially the cursed words that it made her entire system shaken… a bit.

“Damn that annoying bitch!” She frustratedly cursed out loud.

“You must condemn her, Mother.” Aeron

Because it would blind you to what is right and just. It will fuel your mind to think negatively. Until nothing was left but the anger that you let in you. Because once you let it creep into your system, it would dominate everything of you. It will control you without you knowing. Don’t let it happen, Hades. Please, Hades.

After giving her some azaleas, huh?” He playfully commented, as he couldn’t hide his smirk anymore. Raven just clenched his jaw as he put his book on his lap and stared at him grimly. “Whatever.” He stated darkly before the corner of his lips rose, this time giving him a mocking smile. “Anyway, how about you, then? You have your own, right? The mark had been revealed. I can’t believe that the Lunar Pack is getting this huge responsibility.” Raven suddenly remarked. His forehead instantly creased, but he couldn’t stop the excitement that suddenly embraced him. Yes. The Sacred Emissaries came from the Lunar Pack, and he had no

She might be guessing that it was Shanaia who said that. “We have no other choice but to do this to her. The King requested this thing, and I have no other choice but to follow.” She heard another woman’s voice – which she presumed was Tamika’s this time. ‘What the heck is happening?!’ She screamed in her mind, but she kept her mouth shut as she was trying to remember what happened to her prior to this. She suddenly remembered that she was talking to Hades and before he walked away from her, she had already lost her consciousness. “But-” Shanaia was about to say something when she abruptly stopped as Tamika let out a breathy si

You are as manipulative and as sly as he is.” Elder Courdamus cynically commented. “He should have said that to me. He should still be here with us. If not for Lamina’s father! That Lomero is truly much more cunning and treacherous.” His voice became so dangerous and firm. She pursed her lips together at the mere mention of her father’s name.

Hopefully, Hades will be waking up soon. “So, what have you done to my brother?” Raven’s voice inquired as his eyes darted to Shanaia, who seemed unbothered by his piercing eyes. His forehead creased as to how Raven said those words – as if he was suspicious or something.
