KING ARCHIE’S POV“I understand that you want to spend time with Ama– your mate, My King but what do we do about the multitude waiting on the execution ground?”Curtis called my attention to the other important and urgent matters at hand.If he didn't speak, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the trance Amanisa and my growing child had pulled me into even though they were both sleeping.“Get a grip..”I thought to myself, adjusting the cover on Amanisa’s body and facing Rahela and Curtis.“They can wait there for eternity, Curtis. You and I and Rahale have a lot to figure out.”I finally responded to Curtis's question.“But before anything else, I would like to clean my mate up and make her comfortable.”I declared. “Perhaps I should get her servant to clean her up so we can get this done with and–”“Yes.” Although I couldn't trust anyone to take care of Amanisa, Ava was an exception. She could be trusted.“If she hasn't been altered like Davina and the rest.” Jay pointed out, ma
KING ARCHIE’S POVThree days after finding out that the moon goddess had blessed me with a true mate whom I couldn't perceive as mine yet had claimed for myself all along, I was sitting by the bed, holding Amanisa’s hand.She still wasn't awake.She was breathing yet sleeping like she was under a sleeping spell.“Will she open her eyes anytime soon?”I voiced my worries to Rahela who was in the room with me. She knew to stay close even though Amanisa hadn't shown any sign of discomfort.All she showed were signs of a sleeping beauty.Rahela responded, “Her return might blow you away and be the solution we have all been struggling to get for our loved ones.”Curtis walked in at that moment. I wasn't feeling assured but I just had to be strong for my mate, pup, and subjects.“Greetings, Lycan King Archie. Greetings Lywolf Rahela.”Curtis greeted me and I welcomed him curtly while Rahela gave him a heartwarming response.“My King, your sick mom demands to see you–”“That clown isn't my mo
AMANISA’S POV“She is dead!” …. “They killed her... “I will set up the meeting…”Hushed but audible. The voice of a man found its way into a blissful web that I had created around my mind.I believe I created it because no one could give me such peace... Except for the moon goddess. Wait. Could it be that I was dead?Could it be that the male I heard talking was the moon goddess’s assistant or something?Was he keeping tabs on death and how I happened to be killed by those I chose to dedicate my life to from a very young age?Great! I could finally get some rest–“Sorry to spell it out, Ama but you aren't dead. That voice belongs to Gamma Curtis and I believe someone else has been killed by–”“Arla! Is that you!”I exclaimed and unfortunately, my eyes fluttered open, making the weight of being a living lycan sink into me.My senses were at their highest. My sight was sharp. My ears could pick up sounds even though I was all alone in a room I knew too well. I heard footsteps. My mind w
KING ARCHIE’S POVI was sitting on my throne with tears in my eyes. I was crying. I was grieving like a good King and most especially like a good Son would. After all, My mother has been killed.After all, my mother has been poisoned to death and her body was lying in a white coffin that was also in the large throne room with me and all the Lycans and werewolves living and working with Royal Hills. They were all here to witness a new day… a new era that would begin with my mother’s death.“I know this is important but are you certain Amanisa would be fine on her own? Perhaps Curtis shouldn't have left her. I feel strong emotions from the bond but I can’t access her mind.” Jay comp, gained while I wept like a child… a child sitting on a throne. Jay couldn't be bothered about my games. He didn't care that I had killed my mom's look-alike with the help of Rahela and also brought her to the meeting to play games with Byron and my subjects. My Lycan Spirit couldn't care less.“Every L
KING ARCHIE’S POV“My Prince!”Ardin cried out but he has been left out. There was no way he could escape.Byron turned to Ardin slowly and said, “You have sinned, Ardin. You killed the mother of our King and as a member of his House and family, I can promise you that you will be punished.”“But I didn't Kill her. I didn't kill anyone!” Ardin barked, hissing at Byron. Jay chimed, “She is here.” before I could ask who he was talking about, Jay added, “Amanisa is here. She is awake and she is close.” What? I inhaled deeply and focused on the uncompleted bond between Amanisa and me to confirm Jay’s claims and to my surprise, she was truly awake… and she was close to the throne room but not within the throne room. “I believe we should execute this traitor immediately, Alpha King Archie. Avenge Aunt Sophie without delay.” Byron began to sob. He was such a snake. I was becoming uncomfortable in the throne room because Amanisa was outside doing goddess knows what. “Lycan King Archie,
AMANISA’S POVWOW…Seems like Kovan has finally found a way to get the truth out of his backstabbing Delta.It took so long for them to find out the truth and I would have been pleased about the whole charade happening in the throne room if Ardin wasn't making it sound like he was a saint and that he was forced into the plan.That bastard has always wanted me dead. From the beginning, he has been working with Byron… I just knew it.“Is that all you heard from what they have been saying?”Arla queried. “Trust me, I have heard a lot. And it’s quite confusing that they are all saying that Kovan found his destined mate… who could that be? I am carrying our child but he found–”Arla cut in, “You do realize he can’t impregnate any random female, right?”My eyes widened as it drew on me that the deeper bond I felt within me was a mate bond. The reason I was feeling Kovan at the back of my mind was that we had accessed a new form of bond. The deepest form of bond known to Lycans and werewol
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Let's get the funeral started, Bitches!”Amanisa– no. No. The woman standing in the middle of the throne room with a sword in her hand wasn't my Amanisa. Not only did she smell different but she also looked stronger and even deadlier. Her scent made my knees weak and I could see many of the Lycans in the room crumbling into a bowing position. That woman’s scent was compelling them like mine. That woman was demanding respect and Amanisa would have been able to do that when I mark her and also coronate her as the Queen. She wasn't the Queen yet she was strong… stronger than me if I was being honest. I didn't have to combat with her to know that. Did Byron do something to my mate? But why would she be against him if she was Amanisa’s clone? Why would my body be attracting hers like there were magnetic forces between our bodies? Minutes ago, she smelled and looked like Amanisa, my mate but now she was like a total stranger. Yet I was attracted to her.“Rahela. Wha
AMANISA’S POV“Why did you tell her you have a surprise for her! I haven't been able to reach the Healers, Amanisa!”Arla cried. “You have to make sure you get through to them. When you do, make sure they save those that have been captured before they come here. You can use as much energy as you want. Make sure you don't expose our pup though.”I replied calmly just as members of the house of Raven joined Byron and Violet. They would still be immobile if I wasn't concentrating my strength and aura on a different case.“Has your power suddenly declined, Amanisa? Such a shame.”Violet clicked her tongue. She was the least of my problems so I didn't bother exchanging words with her. “Exit the hall if you don't want to be dragged into this bloody war between my cousin and me. Stay safe with your families.” Kovan voiced. “Leave the hall now!”Seconds after, I felt him at the back of my mind, which I assumed was the effect of him trying to form a connection with my mind. It would have bee
