AMANISA’S POV“What the hell are you insinuating?”Kovan eventually asked and began closing the distance between us much to my dismay. The tingles... The wants… the desire... The pain... The ache... The confusion... The hate... The darkness… All of it!.. All of those were making breathing and living more difficult for me. I wanted to pull Kovan close to me and hold him for dear life but I also wanted to push him off a cliff and have my throne and people back…Now, do those people want me back? I let all of it sink in as tears began to trickle down my eyes. This wasn't pretense… not anymore. It was a game but I was emotionally involved in that game. Even Arla couldn't deny the connection that arouse when Kovan began to walk toward us. None of us could deny how we feel attached to the Lycan Koing that my heart hated so much. Or was that a mixed feeling?”“Don't play games with me, Amanisa. What’s with the question you just asked me?” Kovan uttered again… he was obviously trying to
KING ARCHIE’S POVIt was as if I was being let into the light but snatched away from its brightness each time Amanisa spoke. She was confusing me. She was making my mind twirl and even though I felt like I understood her, I still felt like I wouldn't be able to understand her. “This is what we get for entering the tomb despite knowing that the chance of finding mother there was slim. What else would happen to the realm–”“Stop making me regret the decision I made, Jay. That had happened, and there I nothing I can do about the fact that Amanisa was possessed. Chill, dude.” I cautioned my Lycan spirit which was clearly losing his mind over the fact that Amanisa who he had chosen over and over again had been in danger because of the decision I made… I didn't remember him being against the decision to enter the tomb until after I entered it with Amanisa. If he didn't stop me then, why bother talking down on me now? “I know you don't want me to know about your past and I have already p
AMANISA’S POVI had him where I wanted him to be. He had fallen for me and for a second, I tagged him stupid because if he wasn't stupid, how could it be so easy to fool him?“Did you bring any of your human realm clothes with you? I want to sleep beside you in one of them… this doesn't suit you.”He had whispered to me last night after we shared a kiss that almost made me believe that I was the stupid one. I hated the kiss but I loved it as well… I loved the way we fitted perfectly and without effort.A kiss from him was enough to make me become a loser and even though I was contemplating digging my claws deeper into him, I couldn't help but weigh the words he said to me last night. He looked sincere and all trustworthy but didn't I look the same when I lied to him? “We can't be too sure so I advise that we don't act rashly or too fast.” Arla, who had been trying to understand our sweet and deep connection with Kovan since we kissed last night, finally spoke to me. Hearing those wo
AMANISA’S POV“Amanisa…” The older woman called out after the people around gasped. King Archie just stood behind me, acting like he was a protective mate or big brother. He was oblivious to the actions of the werewolves… he didn't read any meaning to their attraction to me neither did his hands leave my shoulders. “That’s a beautiful name made for the best of our gender, Amanisa…” The older woman breathed. Her fingers trail my face as she whispered about how storing I was created to be yet King Archie didn't understand. Could it be that my words really meanest so much to him? Could it be that he truly believed me or was he acting like a fool so he would be able to get back at me when I least expect it?“And she is beautiful too…” King Archie uttered, supporting the older woman and the crowd pulled closer to us. They wanted to get a good look at me, I presumed since the darkness of the night was already clothing the cloud.“I agree, young man. You both are a perfect match made by
KING ARCHIE’S POVDestined light…. Destined darkness… only time will tell… Blah blah blah… No disrespect to the moon but all I heard was blah blah blah… she spoke gibberish... The seer spoke gibberish and I believe that she was set up by Alpha Damon so he could make use of Amanisa. Everything that happened back there has to be staged and planned. I refuse to believe that Amanisa has a destined light that could only mean a destined fucking mate in this pack and that person wasn't me. She dared called me her destined darkness! “She might have a point if you ask me. All you have done ever since you met her and brought her to the wereland was make her sad, endanger her and watch her get beaten to death. You sure are the destined darkness and the destined light would be no other person–” “And I wasn't asking you, Jay! Mentioning Damon in this conversation won't be funny either.”I snapped at my Lycan Spirit but rather than back down, Jay released a snort that clearly communicated his
AMANISA’S POVI was walking with the glory of the moon.Bright… Majestic… Queenly… Royalty… It was all combined in my footsteps and elegance. The way I carried myself so carefully yet confidently was beyond my knowledge and for the first time in years, I felt like the Royalty I was born to be. I felt like a Queen, not a Princess, and definitely not an erotic dancer. To be sincere, I believed this glory has something to do with the dress the blind Seer had been knitting for the past three years. Never had I ever felt like I could crush and create life despite being born royalty. I used to have this kind of elegance within me but not anymore…However, after Eva finished creating beautiful magic on my face and dressed me up, the sealed majesty and the buried abilities pushed the barriers holding them and eventually broke them to resurface. “This dress is a die for… I feel on top of the moon.”Yes, even Arla has confirmed it. There was something mysterious about this dress and if I wa
KING ARCHIE’S POVThe intense howls…. The fierce energy that signifies divine power…. And the intense aura that dominated the area.Those were beautiful but Amanisa remained the prettiest. The way she spoke. The way she connected with the moon and its goddess. The way she delivered the divine messages yet remained her elegant self…I was mesmerized and couldn't take my eyes off her for a second... To think that I almost got so attached to her. To think that I nearly left my seat to get to her when she first get to the throne because there was this insane connection that I couldn't explain raging between us both at that moment. That was the closest I had ever been to Amanisa even though we had slept in the same room the previous night. Her Aura had never reached me like it did when the power tried to break her. My Lycan spirit went quiet for a while and I thought he was trying to figure out what was happening but Jay wasn't able to get an answer either. “I thought I felt her Lycan s
AMANISA’S POVShouldn't I be tagged “The Passing Out Queen?”Because fainting and losing consciousness had become my new thing ever since I stepped into this realm. I was beginning to wonder if my Father’s seal had anything to do with this.I was conscious… I have been for the past… I don't know for how long but I have been thinking about why something happened and why some didn't. The ritual was a blessing to me and I was happy that the moon Goddess chose me and that I was used by the moon but what will be different about me after this encounter? Even as I lay on the bed without opening my eyes, I knew that some things were different about me. Like how my body was still aching despite the feeling of having a peaceful and long night.But that difference wasn't what I needed. I get that I was tired from carrying a force that was more powerful than any of the forces in the world but what has this force done for me? Has anything been put in place that would favor me? Or help me? Or per
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
