AMANISA’S POVAll of a sudden, I was his home. Tch! He must be delusional to think I would let him have me easily. He has to be kidding. “I am proud of your resistance, Girl!” Arla squalled like a noisy child within me. She was in the best position to know how hard it was to say that simple word- NO.It was even harder to walk away from Kovan despite the emotions in his eyes and the pull my body was feeling. I was being pulled to him even as I walked away. My body was betraying me and I couldn't blame it. It has been craving and yearning for Kovan for the past weeks… it felt like forever. Yet he never came to me or call for me.But all of a sudden, he was referring to me as his home. I could have laughed in his face to show him that he sounded crazy. If I was his house then he wouldn't have abandoned me unless he found a new house. He wouldn't have been away for so long unless he was living within another wall. “Within Violet walls.” Arla spelled out and I nearly choked as I pic
AMANISA’S POVHis robe and my dress hit the floor.Our eyes burn into each other’s souls. Our breaths mixed… we shared them like we shared our bodies. Our hands roam each other's bodies endlessly. We exchange bodily fluids as he parted my feminine core with his hard manhood.It happened so fast. The flame of desire, lust, and passionate convection flared and grew out of control before I could stop myself from pulling his face towards me and kissing him as hard as he shoved into me.Even if I had the time, I wouldn't have rejected him again. What happened earlier taught me a big lesson. The pleasure was better than that pain and I wouldn't want to ever put myself in the position again despite not understanding the cause of the pain. Kovan rode my insides and I was enjoying it at first until I recalled perceiving his ejaculation and Violet’s arousal in the same space. The deep kiss I was enjoying before began to irritate me and I pushed Kovan away from me at the speed of light. “Ou
KING ARCHIE’S POV“And that’s how you make a woman speechless!”Jay growled with pride. He knew I was serious about my confession yet he made fun of me and Amanisa, on the other hand, kept staring at me like I had become a cute demon. Her lips were parted slightly and her eyes were expressing her shock. “She had no idea? I thought females are good at reading males' emotions. She shouldn't be shocked that I love her, after all, she made me fall in love with her.” I uttered to Jay as I was already feeling stupid. Amanisa wasn't reacting to my confession. She has frozen like an iceberg and the way she stared at me made me feel like I had no right to confess my love to her at the moment. “Say something, Amanisa… I want to hear you speak.” I said to her, standing a step away from her because I wouldn't want her to push me away again. Rejecting me didn't hurt her alone. I felt the anguishing pain as well and I wouldn't want her to feel that again…. I could keep enduring that on our beha
AMANISA’S POV “Ama! Ama! Guess what!” Ava’s voice resonated from the corridors even before she showed her face in my bed chamber. She had been running. I could tell from her disheveled look and her rapid breaths. I jolted off my bed and dropped the historical book I was reading. “What is it now?” I inquired, obviously interested. Ava had always been the one bringing news to me and the past few days, all she had been bringing were bad news. Trust me, I had stopped trying to kill anyone but that didn't stop the killings either. My eyes were still on the goal despite the moment Kovan and I had two days ago. I couldn't trust Kovan to help me find peace anymore. He could abandon me again and I didn't want to start walking in uncontrollable darkness. At this point I was confused. How else do I achieve my goals when someone else was already killing the enemies and killing some of the good families who served my father but also paid allegiance to Kovan? “If it’s another killing, th
KING ARCHIE’S POV“Hey, you there.”I didn't mean to snap but I did. I almost didn't recognize my tone which Jay believed was dramatic… That was the point. I needed to be dramatic to get the intended result. The trio tensed when they heard me snap and it was more shocking to them because not only did I change my voice, but I also masked my voice. Byron practically swallowed hard and audibly as I approach them and I could have sworn to the goddess that Ardin began to tremble like a sick Lycan… Perhaps he had Lycan fever. Violet on the other hand snatched her hand from my cousin and let out a low hiss which I assumed I wasn't supposed to hear. Their reactions to my sudden arrival were suspicious. My eyebrows quirked as I wondered if I was supposed to hear something they were discussing prior to my arrival. Of course, they didn't seem like they wanted me to hear whatever it is they presumed I had heard… Damn! “You can still act like you know what they were saying you know?”Jay poin
AMANISA’S POV“He lacks the sense of humor.”Arla commented when Kovan finally stopped pulling me. He stopped in front of the throne room. My joke was dark but it was a means to an end. It was my way of evading Kovan’s inquiries about my presence at Violet’s quarters.“Why, Amanisa? It’s understandable that you haven't figured out the whole situation but we know more than enough to help Kovan.”Arla added while I wondered what was going on through Kovan’s head. Did he really drag me here because he believed my words? Idiot! He doesn't know to believe me when I say the truth but while I joke, he took my words to heart. “What were you really there for, Amanisa?” Kovan asked me. His continence has changed and for some reason, I sensed that he believed I must have heard something that could help him. “Did you drag me here to sk me that again or you brought me here to call a meeting where my execution would be discussed–” “I didn't know what you are trying to prove, Amanisa but trust me
KING ARCHIE’S POVDo I? “I think we do”Jay answered on our behalf.I could feel Amanisa’s gaze on me. Goddess knows what was running through her mind. Heck! “What do you even mean by that, Davina?”I queried to make sure that I wasn't missing a thing. It was high time the killings stopped. “The goddess wasn't happy about the chaos, of course, Lycan King Archie and the healers have been meditating to be sure that the realm wouldn’t be in any more danger after this phase.” Davina made known.“The consequences of entering the royal tomb while you are still a living Lycan had been forgiven during the healer's intense intercessory and meditation.” Davina announced the ancestor’s forgiveness and to be sincere, I didn't feel relieved. I could as well get punished after all I was already facing a bigger punishment. I was watching my realm crumbling and nothing was coming to mind to save me or my realm. “The ancestors have forgiven you for reasons best known to them but I will say it has
AMANISA’S POVShe shouldn’t have made my presence known.I hissed as my sword sliced through the air. Sweat was trickling down from my head to the sole of my feet as I fought with nothing but myself and perhaps the air. I was talking about Davina… She shouldn't have taken that step.“You shouldn't have hidden Sophie’s condition from Kovan either.” Arla affirmed that she still hasn't gotten over the fact that I decided to not tell Kovan about what I saw and heard two days ago. It’s been two days since and neither Arla nor I had gotten over the events of that day. My Lycan spirit was mad about my thoughts of joining hands with Byron if my suspicions were true and he happened to be the mastermind behind the killings. While I was mad that Davina betrayed me even though it seemed to me like she had asked for my permission in the throne room before she made it known that Princess Isidora who is me was in the realm. No one wanted me here. They prefer I remain the lost princess forever. The
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
