Chapter 111“Come on now Arnou, that’s a bit unfair. I did all this for us to spend some time together and you’re asking about your wife,” Herley tutted as she walked past me into my bedroom.I felt sick just looking at the room. It had been decorated and looked so beautiful.This should have been for Daciana and I not for this woman. She didn’t deserve this kind of treatment.“Herley, why was Daciana screaming? Where’s my wife? If you don’t give me an answer, I’ll walk out of this room.Vow or not,” I hissed in warning.“Okay fine! You’re so pissy,” Herley complained with a smile as she walked over to my desk and poured wine into two wine glasses that had been set there.“She’s fine. The screaming is just a side effect of the antidote,” Herley said with a smile as she sipped from one glass and walked over to me with the second glass.I heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that Daciana was okay. I didn’t trust Herley, bit by any means but for some reason, I believed her about Dacian
Chapter 112I paced up and down the tiny cell fuming in anger. Granny had left a while ago. It was night and she needed to sleep.Most of the other generals had departed as well, Alisa was still waiting but she wouldn’t meet my eye. It had been a few hours since I regained consciousness and I was almost sick from not knowing.Something could be happening upstairs right now and I wouldn’t know because I was stuck in the dungeon till dawn.“Daciana, you just took the antidote and you’re pacing up and down. Can you come to sit for a bit? So the antidote can work faster.You’ll wear a hole into the floor at this rate,” Nikkini said worriedly as she tried to get me to sit down.I ignored her and walked over to the cell gate.“Just tell me. Did you carry out our plan?” I asked Alisa worriedly.“Daciana, that potion to induce psychosis can also be dangerous.Besides Herley fulfilled her end of the deal. She gave you the antidote.I just think it’s a little bit unfair that you want to cheat
Chapter 113I chose to ignore Alisa and focus on Granny because she wasn’t making any sense to me.So what if she felt sorry for Herley, does that mean I should have allowed Herley to sleep with my husband?That seems ridiculous to me.“Granny please ignore this girl and tell me. Can you reenact our mate bond?” Granny seemed relieved that Alisa and I had stopped arguing and replied to me rapidly.“It has certainly been done before. However, I don’t know how possible that’s going to be.I haven’t done it before,” she explained solemnly.I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.“Look, Granny. I wasn’t there when you broke my mate bond. I need to find out how my husband is doing, so please find some way to bring it back.Please. I don’t care what you have to do but please just try,” “I might not be able to do it, Daciana. It’s a risky procedure."You have to understand that there might be consequences,” Granny explained as tears welled up in her eyes.“What kind of consequences?
Chapter 114I tried to steady my breathing as Granny’s chants filled the air. In truth I was terrified, but I knew my husband wasn’t dead.Despite everything everyone keept saying, I could hear his heartbeat. Alisa arrived a few minutes ago and has been wailing and screaming uncontrollably.Her pain brought tears to my eyes, but I didn’t let go of granny’s hand to console her and tell her her brother’s heart was still beating.I let out a gasp, as the middle of my chest began to cleave. It seemed like a hole was opening up on the inside of me and I screamed in agony as granny shook me and her chants became more frantic.“Stop! Stop!” I screamed to Granny in fear as Eva began to scream on the inside of me.She couldn’t stop, though, it was like she was far away but beside at the same time.She clutched onto me tightly and chanted in an eerie voice like something had taken over.Tears streamed from my eyes as I collapsed on top of Arnou and struggled to breathe.I used my free hand to
Chapter 115Before I opened my eyes, I could hear sounds. I couldn't recognize the voices of the people talking but I had been hearing them for hours, days, weeks, months, or even eternity.The thing is when you’re in the void, you can’t tell time. Not properly anyway, sometimes it could be quiet, and at other times, it would be occupied.I felt too dead, weak, and empty on the inside to contemplate waking up.Why would I want to open my eyes and live in a world where she doesn’t exist? She and I are one, she was the better part of me. Now she’s gone, it hurts too much to exist without her.The emptiness and void were much better than facing life without her.I don’t recognize the voices that speak to me but there’s one. It’s there every day, like a warm blanket caressing me.I must confess, sometimes I look forward to hearing that voice. But I can’t make out what that voice says.Today the voice yelled. The voice was speaking rapidly like it had some kind of news to share.It had s
Chapter 116I blinked in surprise at Arnou. It was like I had heard him but couldn’t comprehend what he said.“What’s what’s happening? Triss? The baby?” I whispered trembling in confusion.Triss came quickly to my other side and gave me a very long hug.“Oh sweetheart, you had us all very worried. But it’s all going to be fine now. Okay,” Triss whispered reassuringly in my ear.She held my hand and I squeezed her palm tight in comfort.“Triss?”“Yes, Daciana?”“Where’s the baby? You can tell me if he’s gone back to the moon goddess. I’ll understand,” I whispered tearfully as I carried our joined palms to her flattened stomach.“The baby is fine silly, except you count constantly crying and refusing to eat vegetables as problems.He’s a delight and he brings me joy,” Triss said with a smile.I gasped in delight at the thought of my Godchild being alive and well.“That’s amazing!” I chuckled in delight as I brought our joined palms to my lips and kissed them.I was about to ask her if s
Chapter 117I laid on the bed with my back to Arnou. I love him very much but I can’t bear to look at him.It just reminded me of what I had lost. My best friend and half of my soul were gone.To accept that I could never shift again or be that powerful person I used to be was hard.And anytime, I breached the thought, I couldn’t just do it. I couldn’t think about it or come to terms with it.It had been two weeks since I had gained consciousness and I hadn’t left the bedroom.Not that I wished to, some days, my girls could coax me to the bath chambers.But most days, I lay spineless in bed feeling sorry for myself. I tried to block my mind to the outside world but it was hard.Since the mate bond was in place, Arnou’s marriage to me was sealed and legal yet some generals were raising concerns because I had lost my wolf.I was so scared about facing this new phase of my life. I knew Arnou was too. I kept recalling the panic I had felt when I saw my face in the mirror for the first time
Chapter 118I rolled over to face Triss with tears in my eyes.“Would you like to meet him?” She asked me again as she stepped closer to me.The emotion that welled up in me at the sight of the baby was indescribable. I gave Tri a nod and sat up gently.Lea looked surprised that I had sat up willingly and beamed happily.I stretched out my arms and Tri placed the baby boy in my arms.I shook as tears racked my body. Tri paused in surprise as my tears sizzled and evaporated on my cheeks.“Daciana? Are you?” She asked with mild fear in her voice.I couldn’t blame her, from birth, we had been thought to fear witches.It would be unnatural if she stopped now just because her best friend was one.“I’m fine Tri, what’s his name?” I sniffled.As I hugged the chubby baby boy to my chest. He was so beautiful and just holding him reminded me of Rabira’s baby and how she had betrayed me.“Tatum. We’ve called him Tatum,” she said with a smile.“He’s very handsome. He’ll be a strong wolf,” I said w

Careful! Don’t fall!” Aunty Mardris called out behind me. “I won't!” I yelled b
EPILOGUE Narrator’s POV The woman floated around the ballroom in the arms of her beloved and surrounded by her pack members. Her subjects for she was their sovereign and their High Luna. Her heartbeat thundered with that of her husband. He was happy, she could feel it. So why wasn’t she content? Why did a niggling feeling seem to burrow away at the back of her mind? “My love? Are you okay?” The lycan asked as he focused his attention on her. “Yes, Just. I need some air. Please walk with me,” Daciana requested as she dropped her arm from Arnou’s shoulder and held on to his arm. . “Of course,” Arnou replied. No questions asked. Together, they walked out of the ballroom, their absence causing slight worry in a red-haired girl and her friend. “Do you feel a bit better now?” Arnou asked her as they walked down the palace hallway hand in hand. “Hmm. It’s just, we haven’t had this much peace and happiness in so long. Am I crazy, if I feel like it’s not permanent?” A slight frown
Chapter 224Maliya’s POVA scream tore from my throat as I watched what was supposed to be Herley’s execution turn into the High Luna’s suicide.I knew she wanted to die, but it was supposed to be from bloodlust. She was supposed to have some time to name her babies and hold and say goodbyes and…and…I pushed a trembling Alisa from me blindly as I crawled toward the burning figure in the middle of the dungeon.She didn’t even scream!Loud roars of anger resounded throughout the room as the Lycan sped into the dungeon and went straight for his burning wife.How could she do this?She burned brightly, with the flames so hurt that they charred my skin as I crawled towards her.As I screamed, cried, and sobbed, I vaguely registered someone wrapping their arms around my waist to keep me from reaching her.They didn’t have much success with the Lycan as he ran headfirst into the fire like it was water and held onto his burning bride.As I cried, I realized where the air should have been fil
Chapter 223Narrator’s POVThe night was dark and the prison cell was cold yet the girl didn’t shiver or whimper. She stood with her arms chains and a resigned look on her face.The goddess knows this time she tried. She had looked on as everyone dropped to their knees and begged her. And even though she had dreamt, for months of the day they would all recognize that they wronged her, In that moment, all she felt was genuine worry that her best efforts wouldn’t be enough.It seems almost ironic, as she had been a proud, confidant general, Second only to the lycan and primed to be his high Luna. But living about those dreadful humans for months would do that to anyone. They would grate at you until all your confidence faded away.She knew the golden-haired woman wouldn’t die. She had taken measures against that a while ago but looking into the fearful faces of what had once been her family, Herley decided to scrape together what remains of confidence she had left and do her best.And i
Chapter 222Daciana’s POVI stood in silence as I watched Arnou open my bedroom door weakly.The utter fear and grief on his face when I had agreed to end out marriage kept on replaying in my mind but I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Arnou stepped out into the sitting area and I followed closely behind him.The moment we came out, Maliya pushed herself out of Alisa’s arms and stood up with a fearful look on her face.“Well? What do we do now?” Alisa asked softly as she stood up and threaded her fingers with Maliyas.It gave me great joy to see that they had reconciled.“Nothing. We do nothing but wait fir it all to be over and I take this chance to say goodbye,” I replied her before Arnou could open his mouth to speak.He clenched his hands by his side in anger and I could feel the waves if his emotions and his hurt flooding through me.“But your children? Daciana reconsider this. Maybe there’s something we can do or-“ Danica said with a frown on her face.I walked up to her and
Chapter 221Daciana’s POVI gasped as Triss yelled and everyone in the room turned to stare at me.Maliya blinked confused but I could already sense the animosity pouring from her at Triss’s announcement as she listened and didn’t hear any heart beating in my chest.“EVERYONE OUT!” Arnou growled suddenly as he pointed at the door.He was afraid. That much I could feel, but he was also incredibly relieved and that brought me small peace.My legs shook as I pulled myself to a seating position and Triss snarled at Arnou angrily.“I left just for a few minutes. What did you do? Where’s Daciana? Why is that thing in her body? She demanded angrily as her eyes flitted to me for a quick second.Hurt racked my body as tears pricked the back of my eyes and I started to speak. To tell Triss something. Anything that would make her know, I wasn’t some strange enemy but Arnou beat me to it.“I SAID LEAVE!” He yelled angrily as the doors of my bedroom swung open and several palace guards rushed in.
Chapter 220Daciana’s POVIce flooded through my veins as I gave into the darkness. I was gone, drifting afloat in the darkness.Was this how Eva had felt? Was this how she had lived for months? Silenced and immune to the world.“Yes. Someone similar, except I was alone, but you’re not. I’m here with you, and together we’re stronger,” Eva’s soothing voice flooded my brain, and I smiled in ecstasy.Perhaps this place, this dark cocoon, was better after all.The sweet feeling of peace that lingered in my limbs, the love between my wolf and me We were made for this, just the two of us. No one else mattered.“Yes. We are,” I whispered back as a content smile flooded my lips. This place was perfect. Paradise.None of the suffering above could touch us here. Here we were happy and here we would remain-“NO!” The sharp scream of someone cut through my peace, and I blinked violently, disturbed.That wasn’t my wolf! Who was that, and why were they disturbing our peace? Were they trying to take
Chapter 219Maliya’s PovI groaned weakly as I blinked open my eyelids.“What’s going on?” I croaked to no one in particular.“Here, have some water,” A voice said calmly from my bedside.I sat up slowly and stared at Alisa in shock.She had dark circles under her eyes and looked extremely tired but apart from that, I could almost not tell she had been battling a magic wielding, Vampiric child just hours ago.Wait! What time is it?The last time I had seen Alisa, she had been battling Star by herself while Prince Xavier faced off some other Vampire.The moment Verena died and told me to get Herley for the high Luna, I knew I had to leave before the Vampires finished off Alisa and Xavier and came for me too.I crawled to their horses that they had left unattended, and this one is surprisingly because I have no idea how I achieved such a feat but I dragged my naked and poisoned ass up one horse and held on as hard as I could while the horse raced away.The goddess surely had a hand in m
Chapter 218Arnou’s PovPower surged through me. Expanding as the warmth of the fire licked at my fingers greedily. For a moment, I feared I was drawing on Daciana’s power too much, and I retracted my hand.It was unmarred, and when I turned my head around to stare at my wife on the bed, she lay unmoving, like the power draw hadn’t affected her at all.I already knew she was powerful, but it just put into perspective just how powerful she is.More confident than the first time, I put my hand into the flame again as the familiar feeling of warmth licked at my fingers. The fire danced like it was alive, and it was relatively easy for me to pluck a piece, almost like breaking off a branch of a tree.I withdrew my hand from the fire, and with the little piece swimming in my palm like mercury, I poured it into the tube and stood to my feet.Everyone in the room, including Herley, watched in surprise. It was almost like she hadn’t expected me to be able to do it.“You stuck your hand into f
