CHAPTER 66.KING ARCHIE’S POV“What could she be up to now?”Even Jay was worried about the wide smile Amanisa had on her face as she requested to talk. I was obviously not in the mood for any of her games since I was still getting used to the fact that Damon didn't die and wasn't the real culprit… I did suspect that from the onset, however, now that it had been proven that the Alpha of NightShade pack wouldn't be dying by my royal Lycan sword, the feeling wa different. Perhaps it was mere jealousy… because deep down, I was happy that Damon was innocent. That had saved me a lot of trouble and now I could go ahead and investigate further without creating a riot between my people and the people that still remained Loyal to the previous House Of Kings.It was a relief but I still didn't like Damon one bit… just look at the way he was staring at Amanisa like she was his whole world and he existed for her. “I wish I could read minds, Jay… this lycan is unpredictable and we both know tha
CHAPTER 67.AMANISA’S POVI had my moon dress back!The emotions I experienced when Damon handed the dress to me a week ago couldn't be described in words.To think that I didn't see that coming not even when I was having a nervous breakdown while I had my bath that morning. Going to Kovan’s chambers was just an intuition that I followed to make me feel better.I did get better.I also found a way to rebuild my childhood home thanks to Damon. That childhood friend of mine had come in handy and he had whispered “Thank you for making this possible, Isi.” to me three days ago when we presented the plan to the inner court and also made sure the renovation plan was launched and the alliance between NightShade and Royal Hills was once again solidify.The last few days have been great and I have been really busy with the renovation plans and also with being Lady Of Royalty and having to be with Kovan always.The inner Palace was also my business now much to Violet’s displeasure.“Are you sur
KING ARCHIE’S POV“The commotion hasn't even started…”Well, it was long overdue.I would be lying if I said I was surprised that Amanisa was cooking up another drama. The palace had been awfully quiet for the past few days and I was beginning to worry since the atmosphere was strange. Violet wasn't doing anything and Amanisa who was the real drama queen hadn't done anything yet either except the inner court meeting that was held days ago. I haven't heard from her nor have I seen her in my room. We have been seeing only when necessary ad I made sure we see every day even though she didn't say much.Every day was necessary.“And she is back.” Jay muttered as I took steps toward Amanisa. My Lycan Spirit added, “What the hell is she wearing?” If my gammas weren't watching and perhaps if Ardin wasn’t behind me, I would have laughed so hard. Amanisa looked funny as hell and it took all of my consciousness and strength to hold back the laugh that was threatening to force its way out of me
AMANISA’S POVI was confident… I wasn't nervous at all… Not even when Ardin stormed towards me with a tight fist ad a loud growl… I remained confident.They were all lies… everything was a lie and deep down, I was worried as fuck but no one had to know. Kovan who had been mute ever since I tried to persuade him doesn't have to know that I was nervous and that my walls were breaking as I watched Ardin come for me like a mad bull.Ardin… shame on him. He called himself a Delta yet accepted to combat with me… a female that was supposed to be from his king's Family. I am sure he wouldn't have accepted if it had been Violet or any other true-born royal of the house of Kings… I was a true-born Royal but again, no one has to know that yet until I am ready to let that out. Ardin was approaching like wildfire and despite all the ranks I had gotten in the human Kung Fu society, combat world and also the world of Karate and many other types of martial arts, I was still less confident, knowin
KING ARCHIE’S POVWas anyone else seeing what I was seeing? Or were they all too blinded by the dominant energy Ardin was releasing and his anger?Could they see what I was seeing or were they simply seeing a fragile woman struggling in the arms of a big man with all the energy to snap her into two or more pieces?Could they see the way she slid and rendered Ardin useless for a minute?Did anyone notice that this is another side of Amanisa that I, Kovan had never seen before? Lycan King Archie might have missed it but Kovan shouldn't. Kovan was her lover and the closest person to her so why was he just seeing this side of Amanisa?I had once seen her as a fragile female… a rogue but something was different about her scent as she fought with Ardin. There was a huge difference and I could tell that she was barely at her full capacity.“She isn't the Amanisa I know, Jay…”I said to my Lycan Spirit with eyes still on the combat and especially on Amanisa. Every one of her moves didn't mis
AMANISA’S POVPain…Ache…Sting…And ache again… With each step, I took toward my living chambers, I felt pain all over my body and my face ached just as my lips stung painfully. However, I commended myself for being strong to the extent of laughing with Ava as we talked about how the combat went. I could not remember all the details because most of my actions and counter-attacks were done out of pure survival instinct but Ava kept tabs on everything and she narrated how she felt so proud watching me. I was happy that she was happy and Arla was too but Ava didn't see that my victory came with a price. Aside from the hurt my body carried like a second skin, my heart was hurt too… the Lycan Gammas couldn't even recognize their princess. I didn't expect much from them but I never expected that they would all be against me. And that triggered my darkness… no matter how hard I tried to push it back beyond the surface, it filled me to the brink right until I embraced Ava. Ava cleared th
KING ARCHIE’S POVIt was becoming more challenging than I thought.Separating myself from Amanisa and not feeling even more attached to her because I knew that I would have to get mated to Violet… was harder than I thought. And even now, I believed everyone was beginning to wonder if I would ever perform the mating ritual with Violet as planned initially because now, I spent more time with the Lady Of Royalty.We trained together, although I haven't tried to train Amanisa one on one for fear that I would break her. We eat together, privately, or with the other family members: my mom and Violet. We make plans together and have been monitoring the reconstruction of the previous Palace together.Amanisa and I had become a duo and getting away from her had become harder… the growth of my feelings happened within a week. After a week of hearing her laugh after I heard her cry in her bathtub. A week of sliding into her and filling her with my seeds, knowing that she might get pregnant at s
AMANISA’S POV“You are breathtaking, Ama.”Ava had said to me before we both left my chamber for the dining hall where Violet and her family would be, probably planning how to get rid of me over a bowl of bland soup. Ava kept cooing about how Kovan had picked the dresses in my closet himself just to make me look this beautiful… Ava believed that Kovan and I were meant to be…I was the queen she believed the realm needed… according to Ava.And she was right. I left my chamber knowing that I had to prepare for war… Violet wouldn't have been relenting all these days. She knew I was already stealing her supposed-to-be mate after stealing her shine away… Well, in my defense, I didn't steal anything. Everything I took and claimed has always been mine right from the day my mother conceived me.I was ready for whatever Violet might throw my way today and thanks to the good fuck Kovan and I enjoyed before he left my chamber to prepare for the goddamn lunch, my mind was clear… clearer than e
