AMANISA’S POV“Could it be that she was using someone else as the source or reserve of her energy?”I voiced even though I didn't understand the meaning of my statement.Davina nodded, to my surprise. “It could be that, Princess Isidora. If she had hidden her strength in someone, it will take some time for the darkness to germinate within the new vessel and we have to wait until we sense the darkness.”Davina supplied. I honestly thought that the day would end all of our problems since Byron and Violet would be punished today. I believed that today would mark the beginning of a normal life which I experienced some minutes ago with Damon, Kovan, and everyone else. Sadly, it wasn't time to let the realm know that I was carrying a child. The realm wasn't safe yet. Arla chimed, “Look on the bright side, Ama. you have more people on your side now. You can protect them better while they also watch your back. We will be fine and whereas, the three is an assumption. No one is certain tha
KING ARCHIE’S POV“You have to tell me what’s happening, Kovan.” Amanisa held me back. I blamed myself for saying that there was a problem. I shouldn’t have panicked. I should have found a way to take Davina out with me but now I have gotten the attention of her– Amanisa… my mate. “Tell me, Kovan. Please. You can’t just leave without telling me.”Amanisa was adamant and from the look on everyone’s face, they weren't bout to support me or get her off my back. Just like yesterday, a lot has happened today. My head was spiraling as I thought of the hidden relationships that has been brought to light. I placed my hand on my mate’s shoulder and asked, “Do you trust me, Amanisa?”“Of course, I trust you but I do not trust you not t leave me behind. I don't want you to face troubles alone. We have to do this together as one.”Amanisa argued, making me bite my lips. How do I make her stay here in the safest place? The house of Purity can never be invaded by outsiders which simply means th
AMANISA’S POV“I think you should sit, Amanisa.”Sophie’s voice found me. She walked up to me and stood beside me. I have been standing by the entrance of the house of purity for the past three hours yet Kovan was yet to return and I hated the eerie feeling that settled within me. I was scared.My parents told me twelve years ago that they would come for me but they didn't. They were unable to and now I feared that Kovan was also stuck. I feared that he wouldn't be able to make it back to his daughter and me. Which was why I stood hopelessly at the entrance, blaming myself for not going with him when he left. “It’s been five hours since they left and none has heard anything from them. I can’t help but worry, Sophie. This brings back dark memories.” I informed the older Lycan behind me. Many times in the past five hours, I had thought of going after Kovan but I had to think over and over because of the soul that was growing within me.I couldn't risk my daughter’s life.“Why don't
AMANISA’S POV“Are you kidding me?”I screamed and tears rolled down my cheeks, soaking my hair and blouse.What part of my life was true?How wrong have I been in the past years of my life? I couldn't believe that my whole life has been a lie. A misconception. A misunderstanding.It was a different thing to find out that Kovan and his family were innocent. It was one thing to realize that all my life, I have been backing on the wrong tree.For almost thirteen years I have been living in darkness. This darkness wasn't the same as the one that consumed me while I grieved and called myself the royal darkness. This particular darkness was born out of the lack of information.I lacked the needed information. I was denied the right to be brought to light.The light that I needed to live a less painful life. A peaceful and happy life. I didn't get that light until now.And it felt like the light at the end of the tunnel but why does it have to be at the end? Why now?“Calm down, Amanisa. P
KING ARCHIE’S POV“We are winning, Lycan King Archie.” Gamma Curtis had told me through the mind link as we successfully curbed the protesters or should I say greedy ass members of the House of Ravens? It was a relief because I wanted to see my woman and be with her right now. However, contrary to Curtis's statement and my observations as we subdue the protesters, I felt a sharp pain coursing through my left ribs. It was sudden.I didn't see that coming and neither did I see the black dagger that is now buried within me coming earlier. It was too fast and the attacker that threw the dagger at me was precise and I didn't perceive or see him until I was pierced by his weapon which I knew would have been laced with poison. “That bas-tard…” Jay stuttered as the poison started to take effect, numbing my Lycan beast. Jay could see the attacker through my eyes as he was pushed to the back of my mind.It was him… After fighting through a body of people that were protesting because of h
KING ARCHIE’S POV“You can say it, Davina.” I murmured as Curtis helped me get on my feet after the gammas has rounded up the traitors and right after I regained my strength. Davina retorted, “You might want to seat–”I shook my head and countered immediately, “Just tell me, Davina. What else could be more shocking than the fact that I just stabbed myself and that I am seeing my cousin while others can’t see him?”Davina Lips thinned before my eyes and she whispered, “If you insist, My King.”Yes, I insisted. Davina continued after a short break, “Prince Byron has become one of the most dangerous Lycans and it takes someone equal to defeat him.”“I am not scared of him, Davina.” I chimed boldly. “I will face him now and destroy his tainted soul.”Rahela voiced, “It's not as easy as you make it sound, My King.” There was fear in her eyes as she spoke. “You witnessed the struggle Princess Isidora and I had to endure while fighting the dark sorceress. And to be clear, Prince Byron is
AMANISA’S POV“I will do it.”Obviously, that was my response to all Davina had to say. Who else would face Byron if not me? No one else has a chance at surviving a diel with Byron and I wouldn't be locked away in a safe place while my people fight a lost battle.I also won't want to be back within the house of purity while I feel Kovan's excruciating pain. I didn't want that. I couldn't take that anymore. The fact that I knew that my mom must have felt the same pain but a more intense version of it when my dad died, made me wince. My lips thinned as I wondered why Davina hasn't spoken about the possibility of my mom being somewhere within the House Of Healer. In fact, I was still wrapping my head around that but here I was, preparing to face a Royal Lycan Male who has become a demon.I was tired. I crave to rest after the pain I experienced when Kovan got hurt by stabbing himself apparently. Despite my desire for peace and safety, I left the safety of the House Of Healers because o
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Wow…”Jay let out slowly when my eyes shifted to the approaching figure of my mate. She was with the girls but she stood out… She always does. Her whitish-gray hair had been tied into a bun. She was wearing a fitted leather romper that most female Gammas wear when they have to fight. Even though that black leather romper has been seen on many females, my mate slayed the best.The black boot she was wearing also complimented the romper. I was blown away despite the current atmosphere in Royal Hills.“You are drooling, My King.”Curtis tapped my shoulder, getting me out of my daze. I cleared my throat audibly and shook Curtis off.Confidently, I said, “I am allowed to drool, Curtis. She is my mate. She belongs to me.”Curtis chuckled as I began to walk back to where the Healers had been standing. My eyes were on Amanisa and that helped to eradicate the bitter taste of fear that has been attacking my tastebuds. The Gammas, the male healers, and I have been strategizi
