What's with Amanisa and Trouble? Did she truly add stones to Princess Violet's Bloody Meat?
AMANISA’S POV The last time I felt this kind of pain was when I heard my mother scream in pain twelve years ago. The last time I felt this amount of excruciating fire in my gut and heart was when I knew that I would never perceive my mother’s sweet scent again nor would I be able to get engulfed by my father’s warmth. The skin of my back was on fire but my heart hurt more, knowing that my mother wouldn't have wanted me to pass through this kind of treatment. This was why they sent me away when they saw death advancing toward the family. “Forgive me, Ama.” Arla grunted in my mind. I should be the one apologizing to her for always making her suffer. Despite her weakness due to our sealed power, she had never failed to protect me when needed but I couldn't say the same about me. As the whip landed on my back, Arla felt the same intense burn that I was feeling. I wondered if the whip was laced with some sort of pain inducer or if I was just too tired to bare the pain it caused me.
KING ARCHIE’S POV “Enough! Stop that immediately!” I couldn't bear it anymore even though Amanisa seemed to be handling it. She was becoming bloody but she wasn't showing pain as anyone else would have done in her shoes. Amanisa was enduring the pain even though I couldn't. With every whip, I felt her pain coursing through me as if it was mine. The connection was undeniable at this point which I believed was too early but I wanted more of it… in fact, I wished I could be connected enough to take her pain away. Every time I try to save that female, I always end up pushing her into more trouble and anguish. Maybe that was why I resisted when I felt the urge to stop Princess Violet from hurting her more and more. Yes, I wasn't the one that stopped Princess Violet from delivering more lashes on Amanisa’s back. I wanted to. Jay wanted me to. The strange connection I felt towards that woman wanted me to but I didn't. Even the pain I felt on her behalf couldn't make me interfere beca
KING ARCHIE’S POV I slammed the door to Amanisa’s new room open and rushed in, gathering my overflowing dark royal robes in my hands. “What’s going on, Royal Physician?” I tried not to let my emotions out but it was getting difficult with each passing minute. Although I wasn't expecting Amanisa’s back to start healing immediately because she was a weak werewolf but I also wasn't expecting to see the wounds on her back getting worse, wider, and more bloody. “I can’t be sure, Lycan King.” The royal physician replied. His aging face was squeezed and painted with confusion. if that had a specific color. Ava’s face was even redder than the bloody back of her friend. That werewolf made me wonder how she and Amanisa become close despite the short time they had spent together. “But you are even closer to Amanisa than the werewolf. How will you clarify that?” A tiny voice said to me. It definitely wasn't Jay because he was worried about Amanisa… too tense to pass a comment. “Can you
AMANISA’S POV “Don't send me a-awa-away…” I voiced. My mind was foggy and I couldn't fathom why I was here again… In that scene that shouldn't be happening again. I was there in the great hall, facing my demons and darkness. I was seeing them again after what came off like an eternity. It was a relief at first because I was starting to forget what they both looked like but the happy moments soon ended. The jolliness soon faded into nothing but chaos and ruins. I was finally seeing my parents again which somehow felt like a dream but even my dreams weren't peaceful. They were nightmares if I was to be accurate with my choice of words. Wait a Sec! Did I die and dismounted in hell? That would have been unfair because I knew how this scene would end. It would be unfair because I shouldn't have to watch and endure the death process of my parents. Also, those two shouldn't have to die over and over again even though this could be a dream or my torture in hell. Why would I be in hell
AMANISA’S POV Maybe I would have found his statement hilarious if I wasn't in so much pain and if my heart wasn't beating faster than usual… not because of his words but because of the nightmare I just woke up from. In fact, I almost believed that I was still dreaming but Lycan King Archie suddenly helped me to turn my face towards the other direction where he was sitting with my hand in his. I allowed my eyelids to close and I breathed with my mouth just to get rid of my unsteady heartbeat. “Are you going to pretend like you didn't hear me? That’s so unlike you-” “You don't even know me. Stop the reverse physiology thing you are doing right now and leave me alone. You-” “I can't leave you alone, Amanisa. I’ll never-” “Stop it! What exactly do you want from me now?” My eyes flew open and connected with his dark ones immediately since his face was right before mine. What the heck was wrong with this Royal Freak? I would have jubilated that I had the last words but it seemed like
KING ARCHIE’S POV Maybe I shouldn’t have been eager to see her awake. She was already a pain in my neck and it wasn't up to thirty minutes since she regained consciousness. But words couldn't describe the joy I felt and the relief that flooded through me when she opened her eyes and when those almost white eyeballs connected with me. It was as if I had been living in hell and dying of thirst before she woke up. She relieved me. She gave me the water I needed to quench my thirst and she didn't even leave the bed. “Have you stopped to think about how you could be the problem?” Jay, my dearest and happy wolf; he hasn't been this happy in forever: murmured to me. How could I be the problem when I had been anxious and worried about Amanisa for the past two days? It would have been three days if she didn't wake up today. “You said you loved her? How sure are you that you aren't just scared of losing an addiction? Plus addiction might look like love-” “Whatever I feel towards that fe
AMANISA’S POV Never have I ever felt useless and helpless…. Not like this. Never have I ever been bedridden not even after I was discovered by humans in my unconscious state… not even when they took me to the hospital. I had never been on the bed for days…. Long enough to make me lose count. The hours seemed unbearably long. I was slowly losing my mind and drying away in the room that I had learned was mine from Ava. The kind werewolf had tried to explain and let me know all about the days I lay unconsciously in the room. She told me all about how the Lycan King acted unlike himself and rebuked his chosen mate for me. “The Lycan Prince Byron made a request to the Lycan King. He asked the king to give you to him after he stopped the chosen Princess from hitting you-” Ava was how I found out about my misconception. The fact that The Lycan King wasn't the one that saved me from his chosen mate didn't sit well with me. Especially after I had assumed that he did. Turned out it was t
KING ARCHIE’S POVIt's been three days and still, I received no news from the men I had sent out ever since I received that letter. It's been three days since I asked some gammas to go out of Royal Hills and search every nook and cranny of The Wereland to get my mom. The former queen and Luna of all Lunas had gone missing… Why else would my pigeon return to me with the exact letter i sent him? Yes, he brought back the same letter I wrote to my mom and sent it out with him to deliver. The only reason my pigeon would have returned with a royal letter without delivering it has to be one of the two that I and some of my men had discussed over the past few days.One, My family pigeon couldn't find my mom anywhere in the Wereland which would have been a bit reassuring if I had felt her use her royal key to visit another dimension. But she didn't leave the Wereland… so where could she be? Secondly, my mother was dead. It was either the first or the second. I would have been sure if I stil
AMANISA’S POV*SIX MONTHS LATER* I was a sweaty mess. My senses were heightened and I stared eagerly at Davina who was still standing in between my legs. I was lying on the same bed Davina pointed at when I asked her some hours ago about the bed I was born in.Davina had said, “That one. Your mother had difficulty with you, Queen Isidora. Are you sure you wnat to push her out on the same bed?” I had nodded without hesitating, choosing that bed and that room to push the Princess Of Royal Hills out of my swollen and tired body. Yes, I just delivered my baby girl and I couldn't wait to see her or hold her even though I was still breathless after pushing for hours. My baby decided to come early but that didn't mean she didn't take a lot of hours to show herself to the world after my water broke. “She is here. The Princess has been born!”Davina exclaimed. I let my head fall on the pillow as Davina walked to me with my bloody bundle of happiness. Ava and Rahela were in the delivery r
KING ARCHIE’S POVContrary to my belief, things were going well. The scent of death was hanging in the air the moment we stepped into the room slowly dissipated. Amanisa and Lulu held their Mom for minutes and we all saw the former Queen heal at the hands of her daughters. Jay questioned, “All they had to do was touch her?” As if Rahela could hear my Lycan Beast, she repeated the same question but audibly, “All we had to do was make her two daughters touch her together?”Davina simply gasped, shocked that her sister was showing signs of life. Lulu answered Rahela’s question, “We have to do more than that, Rahela and that’s where you all come in.” Lulu went ahead to explain that this wasn't how their mom would recover. She also mentioned that she believed that the moment she and Amanisa take their hands off their mom, she would return to her vegetative state… her health might also deteriorate quickly. Since Lulu was knowledgeable, no one questioned her or how she knew what to do.
AMANISA’S POVMy story– our story wasn't getting sadder. At least, I couldn't see it becoming more sad.There was no way I would allow it even though I could feel it in my gut that a lot could still go wrong. Davina said it, in fact.She said my mother was dying… Right after I found the perfect sister, I also realized that my mom has been living in pain for twelve years. What was I saying? This could get worse and very sad. I mean, how was I supposed to be the strong sister when Lulu was breaking as we walked to the forbidden first room?How was I supposed to not break when I was going to see my mom who has been suffering alone and in pain all these years?How would I stay strong when I walked in to see life leaving my Mom’s eyes? It could get worse and I could see myself breaking without restraint. I had a sister to shield but—“No one will stop you from breaking, Ama. You have been strong for many years and you have suffered greatly too. Take the break if you want it.”Arla voi
KING ARCHIE’S POVEver since Amanisa asked Davina about her Mom and younger sister, I had been in shock. Coupled with Amanisa being unconscious for days, I was partially a curious living dead. I’d asked questions from Davina but she refused to say a word concerning my concerns and Lulu had been sticking around for the past thirty hours for reasons I didn't know until she revealed that she was Amanisa’s sister… The same sister that I kept wondering how she could exist. I mean, I had never heard of a second child of Queen Idalia and her mate. But from the look on Davina's face, it sank in that there was still so much I needed to know about my mate. Amanisa was shocked as well and Rahela and her girls were equally shocked as Lulu wept her heart out in Amanisa’s arms– a place I wanted to be but couldn't be at the moment. Jay etched, “I can’t believe this. Lulu is her little sister and her mom, Queen Idalia who we all thought was late is alive and in the next room to us…”Yes.. that w
AMANISA’S POVThe first voice I heard belonged to Kovan. I didn't realize how long I had been out but I heard my mate’s voice first. Kovan etched, “You still won’t tell me what she was referring to before she passed out?”Obviously, Kovan was speaking to Davina whose presence could be felt as my eyes fluttered open. My eyes met with Lulu’s sad eyes the moment they opened and the little but grown girl gasped as her eyes widened. I smiled at her and her lips trembled which made me wonder why she was so sad. That was unlike her.Davina responded to Kovan before she realized that I was awake, “I can’t say anything until Amanisa wakes up. I am sorry, My King.” “You don’t have to be sorry, Aunt Davina. I am already awake so you can begin.”I let out breathlessly. As their eyes shifted to me, I winced. My neck was still aching which meant that I had not fully healed from Byron’s tight hold. How long was I out for exactly?“Amanisa!”“Ama!”Davina and Kovan exclaimed simultaneously. Both o
AMANISA’S POV“Two…”Davina let out through the mind link. Byron, on the other hand, kept yelling to get the Gammas to obey him but after I had announced that Kovan doesn't have to beg or listen to Byron anymore, Byron lost the little power he had over everyone.“Now!”Davina declared and with the little breath I had left, I pushed my hands upward, grabbing Byron’s ugly face. “What the fuck do you think you are doing? Do you have an immediate death wish–”Byron cussed at me but the sudden splash of water on his body cut his irritating voice off. Byron yelled at the healers behind me, “What did you do that for?”Lulu’s soft voice broke out, responding, “You will find out in three, two, one…”I didn't let Lulu finish counting before I dug my fingers into Byron’s eyes and immediately, Byron screamed, not just because of my attack but because of the effect of the cleansing water as well. His hold on my neck loosened.“Ahhh.”Violet gasped loudly, jumping away from Byron when she reali
AMANISA’S POVPlease… Just two minutes, Kovan… I need two minutes to save you… to save us all from his clutches.“Bury me alive, Curtis… Do it now.”Kovan’s voice still found a way to hit my eardrums even though I was literarily dying from Byron’s tight hold. His palms were big enough for one of them to wrap around my neck, choking me, and restricting me without him breaking a sweat.“You are almost there, Isidora… Please don’t give up.”Davina’s voice spread in my mind. I could feel myself getting drained. Although the energy I was trying to move from Byron’s chest had been pulled up to his throat or somewhere around that part of his body, I could still fail. But I couldn't let myself fail… I had too many people counting on me. “I think it’s time we move to the tomb. I mean you can’t miss this, Baby.”Violet whispered sweetly which would have made me cringe if I wasn't losing my strength slowly. Byron chuckled, “I can't be there while they bury him. Tradition says that while he
KING ARCHIE’S POVSomething wasn't right. I could feel it in my guts that something was wrong with how fast Amanisa struck my demonic cousin down.“To be honest, he doesn't seem to be breathing well at the moment.” Jay pointed out. “But the knockdown was too easy.”Davina countered, “You don't understand how strong Princess Isidora is right now. Aside from releasing her unused energy, we have shared our energy with her and also weakened the demon. This isn't strange at all, My King.”I begged to differ but Lulu voiced, “We don't have the time to argue. That beast’s energy is getting stronger by the second. Drain him now, Amanisa.”I could hear Lulu’s conviction and fear. She was a child that should be protected from this scene. When did she get here?“We will help you before he bounces back stronger--”Rahela uttered, making me realize that even though Amanisa struck Byron in his demonic state, he had the tendency of regaining his power quickly. And Byron could become stronger with ev
AMANISA’S POVHe was huge.He was ugly.He was terrifying. And I could perceive that he was growing powerful with every second that passed. I didn't understand how he could get this string with the power of the same which I defeated with Rahela yesterday but I knew one thing… Certainly.Certainly, I had to fight this huge, ugly, and unnatural strong demon trapped within the spiritual cage before me.Was I scared?Yes. That fact has been established even before I set my eyes on the new Byron.But was I still doing this regardless of my fear?Again, Yes. There was no other option. Everyone here is looking up to me. I was their hope and I wasn't about to fail them.Therefore, I swallowed my fear and declare, “Let's get the funeral started.”Seeing how fast Byron was growing, the healers wasted no time after my declaration. They started chanting. My eyes caught sight of Lulu amidst them. She was also chanting with her hands stretched toward the cell. I was terrified that a young child li
