Chapter 126I felt electricity move from my lips to the bottom of my belly.It felt so good to be able to kiss Arnou again.I wrapped my two hands around his neck and pressed my lips back to his with a bit more force.He chuckled as he got the message and our mouths began to move much faster. I opened my lips slightly and he pushed his tongue inside my mouth.He tasted of strawberries and some sort of wine he had drank. His taste made my head swoon and I ran my fingers through his damp hair.“Gods Daciana,” Arnou groaned in pleasure as he kissed me harder and hoisted me up.I wrapped my legs around his waist without a single thought and pressed myself against his bare chest.Arnou’s skin on my skin set me on fire. In a good way, I welcomed the delicious heat as it traveled through me straight to my core.I broke the kiss for breath, and Arnou immediately went to work kissing my neck.I tilted my head to give him better access and couldn’t control the moans that left my mouth when he fl
Chapter 127I rolled about on the bed, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.The hard chest I was laying on felt comfortable and toasty. I blinked open my eyes in surprise and saw Arnou watching me.I sat up with fright and looked at him strangely.“Were you watching me sleep?” I asked incredulously.“What? Can’t a man watch his wife sleep again?” He replied with a shrug.I just laughed and shook my head, I better get going.“Good morning my love,” I greeted him as I pressed a kiss on his cheek and stood up to leave.Arnou wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me back onto his lap with a chuckle.“You didn’t say good morning properly,” he said with a smirk as he bent his head low and ran his tongue across the twin holes where he had marked me.Pleasure shot through me immediately straight to my core and I shook my head vehemently.“Nope! I won’t fall for that, I’m already too sore,” I giggled as I pushed him away and stood up from his lap.“But my love,” Arnou whined.
Chapter 128Arnou and I shared twin panic-filled looks and I got out of bed quickly as we dashed behind Alisa to Granny's room.By the time we got there, we met a small crowd of people and I looked surprised.I found Tri and went up to her in concern.“Tri, what’s going on?” I asked her worriedly as I stretched out my hand for her to pass me, Tatum.“It’s granny, she collapsed today in the dining room while we were all having breakfast,” Tri explained.I ran my hands through my short hair and walked towards Arnou. He was having a heated discussion with the physician.I slowly interlaced my fingers with his and squeezed as tightly as I could.Arnou paused, took in a deep breath, and seemed visibly calmer with me at his side.“Arnou what’s going on?” I asked him worriedly.He turned to the physician and motioned from him to me.“Do you hear that?!” He said hotly to the physician.“My wife wants to know what’s going on. Go ahead, tell her what you told me!” Arnou snapped at the physicia
Chapter 129“Alisa,” I called her name gently as I patted her shoulder.She didn’t answer or even deign to look back at me. She sat curved in a ball on the floor beside Granny’s door with her head in her lap.I might have thought she was asleep if not for the tiny sounds of her sobs that I could hear.“Alisa, come on,” I pleaded with her softly again as I stopped to her level and tried to shake her.I mean, I understand that granny is sick and everyone is scared but she’s not dead yet.And frankly, I don’t think she’s going to die for a while to come, so why was everyone weeping and brooding like her body was already cold?“Alisa, please raise your head and listen to me,” I tried to coax her gently again.But either she was too wrapped up in her grief to register that I was trying to call her or plain simply wanted to ignore me.Because she didn’t move or react to what I said.“Alisa! Raise your head right now or I’ll take away even the prospect of you keeping your job as a general!”
Chapter 130“Very well, in that case, you might want to step back,” I said to the physician as I lay my both palms on her stomach.“What do you plan to do?” The physician asked me curiously.“I’m going to heat up her blood as much as I can without killing her,” I replied.“You can do that?” He asked incredulously.I didn’t reply, instead, I closed my eyes tightly and sent delicious heat from my fingertips straight into her bloodstream.At first, I was worried it wouldn’t work, but then steadily but surely her body temp began to rise.“It’s working! Get me the painkillers first!” The physician cried out in joy as he retrieved the thermometer from her mouth and administered the painkillers.I tried to hold back on increasing the heat and instead tried to maintain one temperature.“Should I go higher?” I asked him breathlessly as I strained to keep control of my magic.“No hold on for a bit,” he replied to me as he began to give her some more medication that I guessed was to combat the n
Chapter 131“What has gotten into you? Is this some kind of cruel joke? Gabriel, explain yourself,” I muttered in surprise and anger.“Are you really still asking him to explain himself,” Arnou growled in anger as he stalked towards Gabriel and pulled him by the front of his shirt.“Okay Arnou calm down,” I said tiredly as I pulled on his arm trying to deflate the situation.“I don’t think you should be supporting your guard.Right now, you should be supporting the Lycan,” Rabira said loudly.I flashed her an irritated look and tried to get Arnou to stop being aggressive.“Hey, this isn’t the time for this. Granny is just getting better and we have to be with her.Forget about this and let him go,” I said to Arnou softly as I grabbed his hand.“You really shouldn’t be in support of your guard. It’s a bad look for you.And honestly, it makes me wonder if that was the reason you had him carry you in his arms that day or sent all the maids away from the kitchen to spend time alone with h
Chapter 132I smiled at Arnou’s invitation and slipped inside the room.“Hey granny, how do you feel?” I asked her softly as I walked towards her bed.“Splendid my darling. I heard you saved me,” Granny said with a smile.I blushed a bit and sat on the bed besideGranny.She took my hands and smiled at me.“Thank you for saving this old woman. I wouldn’t have minded if you had let me go,” Granny said with an amused smile.“Granny stop making jokes like that. Nobody finds it funny,” Arnou chastised her lightly.“Alright Alright,” Granny conceded with a small laugh.“Alisa darling, come here,” Granny said as she gestured for Alisa to come closer.“Yes, granny?” Alisa said cheerfully.Granny took one of her hands and placed it atop my palm.“Apologize to Daciana. The both of you are sisters and it’s unfair for you to constantly make her angry,” Granny said.“Granny, that’s not necessary,” I protested uncomfortably.“No, she’s right,” Alisa said, cutting me short.“I’m so sorry Daciana. I
Chapter 133I sat up startled and turned to stare at Arnou. “What was that?!” I asked him with panic in my voice.“I don’t know, I just-“ Arnou started to reply and then froze with his eyes wide open.“Tell me! What is it?” I asked him as I got up from the bed and began to hurriedly step into my dress.“Arnou I’m going to need you to communicate with me,” I said frantically as I pulled on his arm to snap him out of his trance.“What’s going on?!” I asked him.Arnou’s face crumpled as he put his hands around my waist and buried his face in my stomach.“Baby it’s okay,” I whispered in dread.“Granny, Granny is gone,” he said quietly.I froze in shock.Surely that can’t be right. I almost expended all my strength trying to save her yesterday. And it had worked, she had been smiling and even making jokes last night.“No. Are you sure? She’s fine. I saw her yesterday and she was fine,” I muttered to Arnou strongly as tears began to fall from my eyes rapidly.Sons wracked Arnou’s body as h

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
