KING ARCHIE’S POV“You speak of fun when the flame of fire has been set on the roof…”That Voice…That Aura…That Person… That Female Lycan… Her entrance wasn't unnoticed by me but it took longer than usual for me to perceive that she had entered the party hall. I would have said that I was distracted by the tingles that were running down my arm and spine or by the urge to make sure everyone respect Amanisa. I would have said one of those but I knew neither of those excuses was the reason. I didn't sense her immediately because her Kind had been away for way too long. I had never been in the same room with her kind ever since I became King. Plus, she was more powerful… than any Lycan in this hall even though the most powerful Lycans were in attendance. “This isn't the time for fun… this is the time you all should be filled with dread because Danger is looming…” The female Lycan with a pure yet strong aura vociferated as she walked even closer to the podium, taking steps as if sh
AMANISA’S POVIntense observation.“You look like a lost puppy, Lady Of Royalty.”Arla corrected my thought and I batted my lashes to get myself together. It was hard though. I mean I was looking at someone that reminded me of how my mom looked and I could have sworn that the healer resembled my mom a lot.She had similar facial and body features with my mom. Right?Or was I just mixing things up? I wouldn't trust my fading memories. I wouldn't believe in the dark memories that I had forced beyond the surface.“Did you hear what she said?”Arla muttered to me. Although she was also feeling connected to the healer that was yet to give me a good look, my Lycan Spirit was handling the weird attraction better than I wasEven when Arla asked that question, I couldn’t help but think about how this healer made me feel more connected to my mom than Rahela back in the Lywolves pack.“That healer’s name is Davina, Ama… Focus, please. Can’t you perceive the fear in the room?”My Lycan Spirit call
AMANISA’S POV“I can’t give up the throne.” That was the first thought I had after the healer left. Mother Healer used to be someone I knew and if she was still the same person, I believed she should have known that I was back in the realm. Davina had delivered the message of Mother Healer, a female Healer that was considered the leader of all healers. And to be clear, healers were all females. Every one of them. Even if a healer should give birth to a male Lycan, that child wouldn't have the gift of a healer. Healers are the moon goddess's special creatures… the goddess’s friends. “I really can't give up the throne, Arla…” I whined again, taking my mind off the house of healers. I belonged with them and I knew that Davina must have sensed that. Who was I kidding? That healer would have definitely known that I was the long-lost princess. There was no way she would have missed that. She just didn't talk about it. “I should apologize for yelling about you earlier, Amanisa. Also,
KING ARCHIE’S POVSaying “It’s been forever” would be an understatement. However, how else would I say it’s been forever since I felt this alive?Hearing her inhale shapely as I molded my lips against hers and felt her melt softly as I pressed her against me, kissing and holding her for dear life and all the fresh feeling it brought. It was hard to keep my hands on a particular spot.Roaming and creasing, my hands traveled all over Amanisa’s body… her smooth face. Her silky hair. Her luscious skin and the molds of flesh which also made up her breasts and buttocks. I touched them all as I dominated her mouth with fierce hunger, knowing full well that I was creating fire and hunger within the pretty female in my arms and whose lips I had claimed after many days…Many days of longing.“Kovan… hmm–”She managed to say when I took my lips off hers momentarily… she moaned and drove me crazier. I swept her off her feet and began walking, slowly, to the building that was built to be my hideo
AMANISA’S POVLike a sexy cat with the obedience skills of a cheeky dog, I did as told. Yes, he said something along the line of “sit on my face” but my brain register a different set of words. “Ride my face…” Those were the words my brain registered despite the ones my ears picked up. I had become a juicy mess and my blood was fully pumped with desire as I positioned my dripping pussy over Kovan’s face... I shivered as images flashed through my mind. I trembled when Kovan’s firm hands grabbed the soft skin of my buttocks. I ached when his breath fanned my pussy. He hoisted me and swiftly pressed his wet lips against my excessively wet clits, making me whimper and my hands flew to the headboard of the huge bed to support myself…Kovan might not mind getting suffocated and the Amanisa who I once was wouldn't have minded suffocating him right now but damn these sparks and the excruciating hunger. Damn them all! However, I loved them all. I was slowly becoming addicted to them all.
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Is this what love feels like?”I grunted and Jay snorted despite knowing that feeling himself. I mean my heart had never beat this fast before nor had I felt my breath getting caught in my throat just because I was staring at someone.Even during war and disputes, I have never felt so weak yet so strong. Amanisa was sleeping soundly beside me and my eyes had not left her frame ever since they fluttered open some minutes ago.“I think this is what it feels like to be happy and complete.”Jay finally reacted to my silly question. I did feel happy but I doubted that I was complete. After all, Amanisa wasn't carrying my mark. I didn't fully claim her. The buzz was there between us but the last stroke that should have broken the pot of connection and made us immensely connected hasn't happened yet.It pained me that I had to hold back. It pained me that many barriers were standing between Amanisa and me even though we were able to be together on the bed. I felt close to h
AMANISA’S POVMy eyes scanned the surroundings and nothing looked familiar except Ava. I gave her a look to tell her to start explaining but she also had been giving me a look that screamed: “Why is your dress ripped, Ama…”However, before Ava could voice her question, my hands shifted to my exposed chest, covering my skin, and my voice broke through the heated temptation between Ava and me. “What is this, Ava?” Ava cleared her throat and her eyelashes fluttered repeatedly as she shifted her gaze toward the direction Kovan had walked to after he dragged me through a different route and to an unknown place. This was clearly the palace too but what part of the palace is this and why was I brought her? Why was Ava waiting here? Why on earth did Kovan not take me through the path we took to the hidden chambers yesterday? Could it be that he didn't trust me?“Or it could be that he was trying to protect you from unwanted eyes…. Where\as why did you lie to him about the path? I can belie
KING ARCHIE’S POVThe moment I entered my sleeping chambers, I understood why Ardin sounded like a killer when he connected to my mind earlier. I understood why my Delta sounded unfriendly before entering my sleeping chambers. He needed to sound that way because someone he perceived as my enemy had come to meI had been here for the past twenty minutes and I have also been staring at my once-mysterious visitor for that long and the heated gaze I had on him wasn't even as hot as the tension in the room. This was why Ardin specifically protested against having the visitor in my room. Not only was the visitor perceived as a threat, but he was also known to be a threat and many Lycans want his head… the house of gammas especially will kill to get their hands on him. What was he doing here?Why was he here In the Lycan King’s den… so much more dangerous than the lion’s den. “Should he be dragged out, My King? I will gladly–”“That will be no way to treat a visiting Alpha and I remember
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
